Ways of The Prophet (S.A.W)

KHUTBA (FRIDAY SESSION)

He would at first praise ALLAAH and then say:

(The best words is the book of ALLAAH, the best way is the way of Muhammad, the worst of the things is bid’ah and every bid’ah is deviating from the right path,and every deviation leads to Hell, I am a greater friend of a believer than his own soul. If anyone leaves any wealth it belongs to his relations, but if he leaves any debts or any family, I will be responsible for him).

Sometimes he used to deliver the following khutbah (sermon):

O man! Offer repentance before death overtakes you; make haste in doing good and fulfill the covenant that is between you and your Lord. Remembering ALLAAH extensively and giving alms will bring you reward both apparent and hidden, and you will get approbation and good sustenance. Know that ALLAAH has made Friday Salaah obligatory on you this very year, at this place of mine, till the day of judgement. If anyone of his ability to do so gives it up or denies it as being obligation during my life or after wards or takes it lightly, even if he has a ruler, tyrant or just, then ALLAAH may neither alleviate his troubles nor bless any of his deeds. Listen neither his Salaah will be accepted, neither fasting, nor zakat, nor Hajj, nor any good deed unless he repents. Listen, let no woman lead the Salaah of a man, no Airabi (not well versed person) that of muhajir (well versed), no evil doer that of a pious man, unless forced by a ruler under the threat of sword or scourge.

Sometimes he used to deliver the following khutbah (sermon).

(Thanks are due to ALLAAH that we praise Him and ask for his pardon and seek refuge in him from the evil of our souls and the abominations of our deeds. He whom ALLAAH guides, no one can lead astray and he whom he leaves straying have no guide. I bear witness that there is no God other than ALLAAH, the one, without partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger whom he has sent with truth to give good tidings and to warn approach of the Day of Judgement. Whoever obeys ALLAAH and his Messenger, will find guidance and whoever disobeys will harm him, ALLAAH will not be harmed thereby).
