Love Allah by following the Prophet

MIC

“For those who are questioning whether to vote or not, a lot of imams and a lot of scholars have made it an obligation.”

The khateeb, at 0:47

Watch the khutbah
In one sentence

The khutbah teaches that love of Allah and the Prophet is proven through sincere obedience and deeds rather than claims, lineage, wealth, or outward celebration, while also urging Muslims to fulfill civic responsibility by voting.

The khutbah in 6 steps

  1. Urges eligible citizens to register and vote, presenting participation as a religious responsibility.
  2. Argues that celebrating or claiming love of Allah is meaningless without following the Prophet.
  3. Uses the story of Harithah to illustrate sincere faith and awareness of the Hereafter.
  4. Emphasizes that deeds matter more than lineage, citing Fatimah, Abu Lahab, and Salman.
  5. Calls listeners to learn about Muhammad and restore him as their primary role model.
  6. Concludes with Qur'anic recitation and prayer.
