The Prophet’s Hajj shows how to live Islam
“Don't think that you are better than the one next to you because of your color or your family member number or anything related to the dunya.”
Muslims must faithfully carry Islam by following the Prophet’s example, supporting one another, repairing family ties, remembering Allah, and living with humility and taqwa.
The khutbah in 6 steps
- The days of Tashriq combine celebration, eating, drinking, and remembrance of Allah.
- The Farewell Hajj teaches that Islam is a trust to be conveyed accurately.
- Hajj guidance emphasizes ease, practical instruction, and completing its essential pillars.
- The khutbah calls Muslims to brotherhood, solidarity with suffering communities, and care for women and vulnerable people.
- Listeners are urged to reconcile with estranged relatives and maintain family connections.
- The khutbah closes with takbir, humility, equality, repentance, and prayers for stronger families and unity.
In the khateeb's words
“Islam is a big amanah wallahi it's a big trust and we have to carry it and bring it to others the right way”
“don't think that you are better than the one next to you because of your color or your family member number or anything related to the dunya”
For the dinner table
The khateeb used the Prophet’s Farewell Hajj to remind us that Islam is a trust we must learn accurately and live visibly. He emphasized caring for fellow Muslims, women, relatives, and people facing suffering, rather than watching from a distance. He urged anyone with a broken family relationship to reach out, forgive, and reconnect while there is still time. He also reminded us to keep Allah in our remembrance, especially during the days of Tashriq, and to judge people by taqwa rather than color or status.
- Who could we contact this week to strengthen a family connection?
- What is one way we can show support when another person is hurting?
- How can we practice remembering Allah during an ordinary day?
