Khutbah: Virtues of Jumu'ah
Alhamdulillah, we praise Him, ask for His help, and ask for His forgiveness. And we seek refuge in Allah from the evil of our souls and from the evil of our deeds. Whom Allah guides, no one can misguide. And whom He misguides, no one can guide.
And I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, alone, with no partner. And I bear witness that the best of mankind, in time and in place, is that which is referred back to the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him.
And this is the great rule.
