Masjid An Nur Jummah Khutbah Starts at 1:45 PM

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ at Home & in the Community

Sheikh Salahadin continues the seerah series with part three on the life of Prophet Muhammad, sallallahu alaihi wasallam, focusing on his marriages, his children, and his conduct with neighbors. This khutbah reminds us that every marriage of the Prophet carried a lesson and a purpose, and that his gentleness at home and generosity to neighbors set the standard we are called to follow.

Sheikh Salahadin

8/28/2026

In this khutbah, Sheikh Salahadin continues the third installment of a series on the seerah of Prophet Muhammad, sallallahu alaihi wasallam, following earlier talks on his miraculous birth and the miracles of his prophethood. This week's focus turns to his family life: his wives, his children, and his relationship with his community and neighbors, framing these as a living legacy that Muslims are obligated to know and follow.

The Imam walks through the Prophet's marriages one by one, beginning with Khadijah, who supported him for twenty five years and bore six of his children, and continuing through Sawdah, Aisha, Hafsa, Mariyah, Umm Habibah, and Safiyyah, among others. He explains that each marriage served a distinct purpose, whether supporting a widow, honoring a scholarly companion, resolving tribal tension, or bringing a community to Islam, and he firmly corrects the misconception around Aisha's age at marriage, urging listeners to reject that accusation wherever they hear it. He also clarifies that the specific rules governing the Prophet's wives, such as their inability to remarry after his passing, applied only to them and not to the wider Muslim community. The khutbah then turns to the Prophet's character at home, describing how he mended his own shoes, helped with household chores, and treated his wives with patience and mercy, using the example of Umar ibn al-Khattab's own gentleness with his wife as a model for husbands today.

The khutbah closes with guidance on the rights of neighbors in Islam, urging believers to seek permission before building in ways that could block a neighbor's light or air, to check on those living around them, and to be considerate during difficult times such as funerals so that emergency access is never blocked. Sheikh Salahadin urges the congregation to carry these lessons beyond the season of the Prophet's birth and into daily life, treating spouses with gentleness and balance and treating neighbors, Muslim and non-Muslim alike, with honor and peace.
