About Us
The weekly Friday sermons serve as a powerful medium to be enlightened and inspired for the entire week. They are an important part of the weekly congregational prayer.
The khaṭīb (preacher) who conducts a thorough preparation and constructs his message with relevance and in an organized fashion, will certainly have a positive impact, in not only enabling transformation of individuals, but also communities.
The ‘Gift of Jumuʿah Khuṭbah Portal’ is an online collection of sermons on pertinent topics of self-reformation and spirituality, referenced with traditional sources including the Noble Qur’ān and the Prophetic hadīth (traditions). This portal is intended to provide inspirational and motivational resources for those who have to prepare and deliver the Friday Khuṭbah in English.
It should be noted that every individual differs in their way of delivering a Friday khuṭbah, therefore we are in no way signifying that a person needs to use these discourses word for word directly from the portal. Evidently, one may find the need to amend the discourses of this portal based on the situations and needs of their specific community. The use of this portal however, could enhance the presentation of the Friday khuṭab but certainly not impede it.
Nonetheless, anyone who is preparing a Friday khuṭbah may derive useful concepts, textual evidence to substantiate statements and other valuable information relating to the preparation of the Friday khuṭab.
We sincerely hope that visitors will find something useful on our site and benefit from this portal.
May Allāh accept this effort and make it a source of inspiration and guidance for everyone.
