Let Allah guide every decision

Euless Islamic Center

“Always ask yourself how do you make decisions.”

The khateeb, at 16:31

Watch the khutbahFamily kit
In one sentence

A meaningful and successful life comes from making Allah the authority guiding every decision and using His gifts in obedience before death closes the opportunity to prepare for the afterlife.

The khutbah in 6 steps

  1. Calls listeners to renew closeness to Allah through remembrance, praise, prayer, and obedience.
  2. Explains that true victory, honor, wealth, guidance, and good life come through Allah’s pleasure and a sound heart.
  3. Frames human life as a responsibility to build and improve the earth under tawhid.
  4. Distinguishes Allah as Rabb, the Creator and provider, from Ilah, the authority who guides choices.
  5. Warns against comparing Allah’s attributes and actions to those of created beings.
  6. Uses recent deaths and mortality to urge repentance, generosity, and preparation for the afterlife while opportunity remains.

For the dinner table

The khateeb reminded us to grow closer to Allah by remembering Him, praising Him, and asking for His mercy and help. He explained that real success comes through obedience to Allah and has value beyond this life. Our devotion belongs in everyday life, including school, work, and home, as we help make the earth a better place for others. He encouraged us to notice what guides our decisions and to put Allah's guidance first. Remembering people who have died, he urged us to use the time we still have well, sharing our money, time, abilities, and other blessings, and making dua for those who have passed away.
