What should a Jumu‘ah khutbah actually accomplish? Abu Mussab reflects on his experience as a new Muslim, attending khutbahs that were often dominated by politics, geopolitics, and the suffering of Muslims around the world—while the fundamentals of Islam were barely taught. Emotional speeches may make us angry, sad, or even make us cry. But emotions alone don't reform the Ummah. Real change begins with **knowledge**. When people learn Tawheed, Salah, obedience to Allaah, good character, the Sunnah, and how to actually practice Islam, that knowledge transforms them. And when one person learns and then teaches another, the effect can continue for generations. Abu Mussab shares how one khutbah from a knowledgeable teacher, Abu Mujahid Fareed Abdullah, may Allaah have mercy on him, make his grave spacious, and grant him Jannatul Firdaws—and the classes and books that followed—became a turning point in his own life. The Ummah doesn't simply need more people shouting about its problems. It needs people who will **teach Islam, practice Islam, and call others to Islam upon knowledge.** That is how change begins. #Jumuah #Khutbah #IslamicKnowledge #Sunnah #Dawah #Tawheed #OneWayToParadise #AbuMussab Clip from: #11 Zaad Al-Ma'aad by Imaam Ibn Al-Qayyim رحمه الله https://www.youtube.com/live/iTL02dmKfgQ?si=hC_2yYOQJBJ-ZCJQ
