In one sentence

Muslims should appreciate and apply Allah’s guidance by acting urgently toward His pleasure, choosing influences that guide rather than mislead, and becoming positive guides for others.

The khutbah in 6 steps

  1. Opens with taqwa, the Quran, and the Prophet’s Sunnah as essential guidance.
  2. Explains that patience is virtuous with Allah’s decree, but should not become delay in deeds for Allah.
  3. Uses Musa’s haste toward Allah’s appointment to urge confident, urgent pursuit of forgiveness and good deeds.
  4. Contrasts Musa ibn Imran’s guidance with Musa al-Samari’s misguidance and the calf episode.
  5. Asks listeners to identify their influences and consider what kind of “Musa” they are to others.
  6. Closes with supplications and congregational prayer.

For the dinner table

Today’s khutbah reminded us to be patient when we have tried our best and life does not go according to our plans. At the same time, the khateeb encouraged us to act promptly when we have an opportunity to please Allah. He described Musa rushing to meet his Lord as an example of eagerness to please Him. Every good deed done for Allah matters, even when nobody notices or we cannot see its results right away. The khateeb also asked us to appreciate Allah’s guidance, choose companions who encourage goodness, and think carefully about how we influence the people around us.

  1. What is one good deed you could do today instead of putting it off?
  2. When something you worked hard for did not happen, what helped you stay patient?
  3. How could you encourage a friend or sibling to do something that pleases Allah this week?
