First Khutbah
Summary of today's Khutbah
Islam teaches us to protect people's honour, verify information, and never accuse others without reliable evidence. Rumours, suspicion, and false accusations can destroy relationships, families, and communities.
Allah says:
﴿يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِنْ جَاءَكُمْ فَاسِقٌ بِنَبَإٍ فَتَبَيَّنُوا﴾ [الحجرات: 6]
“O believers! If an evildoer brings you news, verify it.” (Qur’an 49:6)
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said:
«كَفَى بِالْمَرْءِ كَذِبًا أَنْ يُحَدِّثَ بِكُلِّ مَا سَمِعَ»
“It is enough for a person to be considered a liar that he narrates everything he hears.” (Sahih Muslim)
As Muslims, we must avoid spreading rumours, uphold justice, protect people's dignity, support those facing hardship, and promote unity within our community.
Let us protect honour, not spread suspicion; stand for justice, not division; and build bridges, not hatred.
