Khutbah Reflections: Tips on Decision-Making
In life, we are always faced with decisions. The khutbah on 19th April 2013 was about some guidelines for us as Muslims to follow in the decision making process. “Fiqh Al-Muwazanat” or the “Fiqh of Judgement and Comparison” is a framework for us in making judgement based on our values and beliefs as Muslims […]
Khutbah Reflections: Fiqh Tauhidi – Building The Unity Of The Muslim Ummah
Differences are abound no matter where we are or what we subscribe to. Being Muslims, we are not exempted from this. Rather than focusing on the differences, the khutbah on 12th April 2013 calls us to look at the things which all Muslims can agree upon; the ‘fiqh tauhidi’ or fiqh of unity. We all […]
Khutbah Reflections: Syariah – The Foundation For The Betterment Of Humankind
The khutbah on 5th April was opened up my mind a little. My perception of the syariah previously was that it was just a set of laws for us to follow. While not wrong, it actually goes deeper than that. There is wisdom and purpose behind it which can be separated into 3 categories: Relationship […]
Khutbah Reflections: Graciousness in Environmental Preservation
The khutbah on 29th March 2013 was on a topic that we might have overlooked from an Islamic perspective.

[…]
Khutbah Reflections: Building a Gracious Muslim Society
The khutbah on 22nd March reminded us to be gracious to everyone regardless of whether they’re Muslims or not.

No […]
Khutbah Reflections: Treating Our Wives with Good Manners
The khutbah on 8th March 2013 was of particular interest to me. Even though I’m not married yet, it’s something for me to take note of before embarking the next phase of life. I see marriage as a beautiful thing. A union of two people and by extension, their families as well through a bond […]
Khutbah Reflections: Treating Our Neighbours With Good Manners
While the previous khutbahs in the month of March touched on treating our family members (parents and spouses) well, this time the khutbah on 15th March 2013 was a reminder for us to have good ties with people outside of our families; more specifically, our neighbours. We could have bumped into them in the […]
Khutbah Reflections: Treating Our Parents with Respect and Good Manners
The khutbah on 1st March 2013 was about a topic that is close to my heart: Parents. These are the people who fed us, clothed us, raised us, and taught us right from wrong. They gave so much of themselves for us without expecting reciprocation but most of all; they taught us the meaning of […]
Khutbah Reflections: Lessons from the story of Sayyidina Salman Al-Farisi (RA)
The khutbah on 22nd February 2013 was about yet another Companion of Rasulullah(S); Salman Al-Farisi. What sets him apart from the rest of the Companions was that he was Persian while the rest of the Companions were Arabs. However if we were to look beyond ethnicity, this was a man of unwavering determination in his […]

While the khutbah on 1st February 2013 spoke about the Companions in general, the one on 8th February 2013 spoke about a particular Companion by the name of Sayyidina Abdul Rahman Bin ‘Auf. He was one of the first people to embrace Islam and had given up much of his wealth for the benefit of […]

While the khutbah on 25th January 2013 spoke about the leadership of Rasulullah(S), this time on 1st February, it touched on the legacy he left behind in the form of the Companions who learned directly from him. They were promised Paradise by Allah and were regarded by Rasulullah(S) himself as the best of people followed […]
Khutbah Reflections: Lessons from the Noble Character of Rasulullah (S)
During the khutbah on 18th January 2013, the khatib relates to us a story in which during a gathering, Rasulullah (S) tells his companions of a man who would be a dweller of Jannah and that we would appear before them. On the first day, a man of Ansar whose beard was wet from taking […]
