Faith means living by Quran and Sunnah
“Implement what we learn from the Quran into our lives.”
True faith requires wholehearted submission to the Prophet's Sunnah, expressed by teaching love for him, making compassionate dua, and living daily with the Quran.
The khutbah in 6 steps
- Interprets the opening Quran verse as requiring wholehearted acceptance of the Prophet's guidance in disputes.
- Applies that principle to business and family conflicts, urging Quran and Sunnah before self-serving legal advice.
- Argues that youth need to learn the Prophet's love and concern, not merely memorize his biography.
- Uses the Prophet's reserved supplication and promised intercession to challenge selfishness and encourage dua for others.
- Calls for daily durood, seerah learning, and making the Quran a consistent companion rather than an occasional practice.
- Urges listeners to implement Quranic commands, not merely read or admire them.
In the khateeb's words
“You cannot say that but in the same breath say that I don't want to follow the sunnah of Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.”
“We haven't taught them how much Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam cared about them.”
“But make it a consistent thing that we will spend time with the Quran and we make it a priority in our lives”
“Implement what we learn from the Quran into our lives Because that's what it means to be a companion of the Quran”
For the dinner table
The khutbah reminded us that loving Allah and Islam also means accepting the Prophet’s Sunnah as a guide, especially when we face disagreements. We were encouraged to learn how deeply the Prophet cared for his Ummah and to help our children know him as more than a name in a textbook. His concern included saving his special accepted dua to intercede for his followers, which calls us to become less selfish and remember others in our own duas. The khateeb urged us to make the Quran a daily companion, not something we visit only in Ramadan or on special occasions. We show that companionship by putting its teachings into practice.
- What is one story about the Prophet you would like to learn and share with us?
- Who is someone we can remember in dua this week, and what can we ask Allah for them?
- What small Quran habit could our family practice each day?
