Juma Khutbah – Tips:
3.2. Body of the First Part of the Khutba:
This includes your messages, supporting quotations from the Holy
Quraan, the sayings of Prophet Muhammad and other sources like
history.
Always write your Khutba. Read from the transcript. Do not just read, live
the Khutba. Put life in it. You have to demonstrate that you believe in
every word that you say.
3.2.1. Strategy:
My strategy has been to use current events as a vehicle and a locomotive to
achieve a domestic local goal and to make a difference but perhaps, not too
political.
3.2.2. Methodology:
Define what you want to talk about/ the theme of the Khutba.
Spend time researching your theme. Imagine that you are in fact giving it. Live
it. Dream of it. Sleep with it in your mind and in your heart.
When you talk to people, read the paper, read a book, watch the news or even
while driving ideas will pop into your mind. Write the ideas down if applicable,
these ideas can form the bases of a great Khutba.
Start by a reflection on God’s greatness and creation in order to inject
spirituality in your audience
State the subject you want to discuss and, if applicable, the event that ties in
with the subject. State your opinion and your justification based on Islamic
foundations.
Elaborate using facts and figures if applicable. Remember that every word from
the Imam is a great responsibility. So, please research your subject and figures
in detail.
Give your messages. How do people apply these messages to their daily lives
and to their goals in this life?
