Death is certain, so believers should prepare for the Hereafter through steadfast worship, guarded speech and desires, family guidance, charity, and righteous conduct.

The khutbah in 6 steps

  1. Opens by urging listeners to remember death, the final moment, and the angels’ glad tidings for the steadfast.
  2. Calls for regular congregational prayer, Qur’an engagement, and control of suspicion, spying, and backbiting.
  3. Addresses young people, urging them to avoid illicit relationships and consider early marriage.
  4. Encourages hard work in worship, da'wah, tongue control, and sadaqa, including a brief mosque project appeal.
  5. Urges parents to guide their children, establish family prayer, and avoid letting worldly pursuits eclipse responsibility.
  6. Closes with prayers for Gaza, Yemen, Somalia, Sudan, and other Muslim lands before the prayer.

For the dinner table

The khutbah reminded us that death is near and that we prepare by living faithfully now. It encouraged regular prayer, Qur’an, guarding our tongues from backbiting, and resisting sexual temptation, with marriage presented as a halal path for young people. Parents were urged to make prayer and religious guidance part of family life rather than letting work and money take over. The speaker also encouraged sadaqa and prayed for people affected by wars in Gaza, Yemen, Somalia, and Sudan. We can leave with one small act of worship, one repair in our speech, and one act of care for our family or community.

  1. What is one way we can guard our speech from backbiting this week?
  2. How can our family make prayer and Qur’an part of our routine?
  3. What small act of sadaqa or help could we choose together?
