Khutbah

A Khutbah is a formal Islamic sermon delivered during the Friday prayers (Jumu'ah) or on special occasions. It typically consists of two parts, where the preacher addresses the congregation on religious, moral, or social topics, offering guidance and reflection based on Islamic teachings. The Khutbah aims to inspire spiritual growth, reinforce community values, and discuss important issues. It is delivered in a respectful, thoughtful manner, often in Arabic, but sometimes in local languages to ensure understanding. Participating in the Khutbah is an essential aspect of communal worship for Muslims.
