Follow the Prophet's Sunnah in worship
“If someone's teaching commandments are in accordance with the teaching of the Prophet, we have to obey.”
The khutbah in 5 steps
- It argues that obedience to the Prophet is the path to Paradise and that no scholar, imam, or sect outranks his teaching.
- Using Abdullah ibn Masood and Salman al-Farsi, it contrasts modest Sunnah-based worship with excessive innovation.
- The stories of Julaibib, Aisha, and Ibn Umar illustrate obedience to Prophetic guidance over social status, custom, or even a revered companion’s opinion.
- The sermon applies the principle to prayer and daily life, urging listeners to examine worship, dress, work, income, and family practice against the Sunnah.
- It closes with Urdu exhortation, supplication, Quran recitation, and community announcements.
