In this deeply reflective khutbah, Abdul Basith Awan explores the prophetic wisdom encapsulated in the hadith: “Take benefit from five before five”.

Br. Essam Mahgoub’s khutbah focused on the depth of meaning in Surah Al-Ikhlas and its implications for a believer’s life. He explained the distinction between Ahad and Wahid, emphasising that Ahad signifies Allah’s uniqueness in all functions and attributes, not just numerical oneness. The khutbah highlighted the importance of exclusive reliance on Allah (Allahu Samad) for all needs, cultivating patience when supplications are delayed, and maintaining certainty (yaqeen) that Allah responds in His wisdom and timing
