khutba

There is no replacement of Juma khutba and Juma prayers in the masjid.

Domestic violence remains a serious problem in the Muslim community. The weekly Friday Khutba is a powerful platform to address all kinds of issues in the Muslim community.

The last sermon of the Prophet-peace be upon him- is known as Khutbatul Wada'. It is a great khutbah and we should all pay attention to its message and guidance. Here are the basic points mentioned in this khutbah.

The Masjid is where the action is. Muslims and their resources are connected with Masjids. Rethinking how to use those resources will help the Ummah greatly.

Imams, presidents and other leaders of our masajid, community centers and other Islamic organizations may endorse a candidate, join a political party or run for public office; however, they are prohibited from using masjid resources.

If you think voting is a waste of time, think again. One vote has changed the course of history. In the upcoming presidential elections next month, Muslim votes are being sought out, whether Muslims realize this or not.

Freedom of thought and belief is repeatedly emphasized in the Quran. We cannot be free and we cannot make others free if we do not work to uphold the freedoms that so many of us take for granted.
