Why our deepest love belongs to Allah
“What really makes us human is this fact that we are social creatures.”
In one sentence
Because humans are created as social beings who need love, they should direct their deepest and most dependable love toward Allah, whose mercy remains constant despite their sins.
The khutbah in 5 steps
- Human beings are social creatures whose communication and relationships shape their wellbeing.
- Psychology and language are used to argue that people are built to love and seek familiarity.
- Because human relationships inevitably include conflict and disappointment, the khutbah asks whom love should center on.
- Allah is presented as the ultimate refuge and lasting object of love.
- Quranic and hadith references emphasize Allah’s mercy, forgiveness, and hope on the Day of Judgment.

Quotes
In the khateeb's words
“what really makes us human is this fact that we are social creatures in essence fundamentally when we break everything down we're actually actually social creatures”
“the only entity that will do that is Allah right on the on the day of judgment when Allah describes you know a very horrific scene”
“one portion of the mercy of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is manifested in this in this world and because of that a mother loves their child”
Talk about it at home
For the dinner table
The khateeb reminded us that people need connection and are made to love. Small gestures, like smiling and greeting someone, can help us feel connected and cared for. Even close families and friends disagree sometimes, and human relationships have limits. He urged us to place our deepest love and trust in Allah, whose mercy gives us hope even when we fall short. He ended by reminding us that Allah is close and welcomes our turning to Him for forgiveness.
- When we disagree at home, what could help us speak with more kindness?
- What would you like to thank Allah for or ask Him for today?
