of opinions among different schools, so the following is the "safest" (inclusing some
sunnahs and fards), in sha'a llah.
NOTE: Everyone agrees that the minimum requirements of the Khutbah must be
in Arabic.
1) How to Begin
– Have the intention that you are going to give a Khutbah and give Salam to the people
– Let someone give the Adhan after you give Salam to the people

ْ ُ( يَا َأّيهَا الّذِينَ آ َمنُوا اتّقُوا اللّهَ َحقّ تُقَاتِهِ وَل تَمُوُتنّ ِإلّا َوَأْنتُمْ م
]102 [آل عمران
:أما بعد
Translation of the above (the translation can be omitted, but as stated before not the Arabic):
Praise belongs to Allah, we praise him, and we ask him for guidance and forgiveness.
And we seek protection in Allah from the malice of our own souls, and the evil of our actions.
Whom Allah guides, no one can lead him astray, and whom He makes astray, no one can lead him
back to the right path.
I bear witness that there is no other deity but Allah, by himself, no associate to him, and I bear
witness that Muhammad is his slave and Messenger.
"O you who believed! Fear Allah as He should be feared, and die not except as Muslims." [Suratu
Aali 'Imran 3:102]
[70] "O you who believed! Fear Allah, and (always) say a word directed to the truth.
[71] "That He may make your conduct whole and sound, and forgive you your sins: he that obeys
Allah and His Messenger, has then attained the highest Achievement."
[Suratu AlAhzaab – 33: 70 71]
3) You can now continue with your Khutbah topic
– The body of the khutbah must contain at least one verse in Arabic (you can count the ones in the
opening statement), and at least one hadith in Arabic, but for safety measure make it two each.
– The total of two verses and two hadiths can be the total of everything before and after the pause in the
khutbah.
– This is a safety measure, to make sure the Khutbah is valid (without having to go through differences
of opinion).
– Your topic must be something that teaches and warns the Muslims, and it must be something they
understand (ie. in English, aside from the requirements), as the point of the Khutbah is to be
understood.
4) The Pause in the middle of the Khutbah:
– You need to pause at some point in the khutbah, and you can say:
I say this saying of mine, and I seek forgiveness from Allah for me and for you, and to the rest of the
Muslims, so ask Him for forgiveness, He is the the forgiver, the Merciful.
– Then, if you remember the way I used to pause, sit down and make a silent du'a for forgiveness,
After you pause and make du'a, get up and say:
ُصلّى اللّه
َ ،ِسلَامُ َعلَى رَسُولِ اللّه
ّ صلَاةُ وال
ّ وال،ِ واْلحَمْدُ ِللّه،ِبِسْمِ اللّه
.ََعلَيْهِ و َسلَم
Translation (the translation is just for your reference):
In the name of Allah, and exaltations be to Allah, and blessings and peace be upon the Messenger
of Allah, (SLAWS).
– Continue with the Khutbah
5) You need to close the Khutbah when you're done, and you can say this as the
closing statement :
﴿ إنّ اللّهَ يَأْ ُمرُ بِالْعَدْلِ والْإِ ْحسَانِ وإْيتَاءِ ذِي الْقُ ْربَى وَي ْنهَى،ِِعبَادَ اللّه
َ ُاذْ ُكرُوا ال.﴾ َ يَ ِعظُكُمْ لَعَلّكُمْ تَ َذكّرُون، َِعنِ الفَحْشَاءِ والْ ُمنْ َكرِ واْلبَغِي
ْالْ َعظِيمَ يَ ْذ ُك ْركُمْ واشْ ُكرُوهُ َي ِز ْدكُمْ وا ْستَغْفِرُوهُ يَغْ ِفرْ لكُمْ واتّقُوهُ َيجْعَل
َصلَاة
ّ َوَأقِمِ ال.خرَجًا
ْ َلَكُمْ ِمنْ أَ ْم ِركُمْ م
Translation (the translation is just for your reference):
Slaves of Allah! “Allah commands justice, the doing of good, and liberality to kith and kin, and He
forbids all shameful deeds, and injustice and rebellion: He instructs you, that you may remember.”
[TMQ 16:90] Remember Allah the supreme (in glory) and He will remember you, and be thankful
to Him, and He will increase you in bounty, and seek His forgiveness, He will forgive you, and have
Taqwa of Him (Godfearing, devoutness, piety), He will make for you a way out of your issues.
Establish the prayer.
