In one sentence

Because worldly possessions and life are temporary while the hereafter endures, believers should remember Allah abundantly and prioritize faith, righteous action, and community responsibility.

The khutbah in 6 steps

  1. Allah owns all dominion, while worldly health, wealth, family, and possessions eventually end.
  2. Believers are commanded to remember Allah abundantly and glorify Him morning and evening.
  3. Dhikr brings spiritual rank, mercy, tranquility, and protection from heedlessness and Satan.
  4. The example of Musa and Harun shows that remembrance remains essential even when confronting oppression.
  5. True success is faith, sincerity, and righteous action rather than wealth, status, or possessions.
  6. Announcements invite community support for Muslim students, volunteers, educational programs, and people needing prayer.

For the dinner table

Imam Abdul Wali reminded us that our life here is temporary, while the hereafter lasts forever. He encouraged us to build our relationship with Allah by remembering Him often, especially in the morning and evening. He described people who keep Allah in their hearts even while working and handling everyday responsibilities. He spoke about the peace and contentment that remembrance can bring to the heart. His message invites us to think beyond possessions and achievements, and to nurture faith, sincere intentions, and good deeds.

  1. What is one moment in your day when you could pause to remember Allah?
  2. What good deed could we do together this week with a sincere intention?
  3. How could remembering that our time together is precious change the way we speak to one another?
