The Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him said: "Whosoever of you sees an evil action, let him change it with his hand; and if he is not able to do so, then with his tongue; and if he is not able to do so, then with his heart, for that is the minimum that is desirable from a believer." An-Nasa’i.

We often complain about these weekly IRRELEVANT & BORING khutbas that do not motivate us.

We are trying to get beyond this urge to complain... 

InshAllah, we can collectively uplift the level of khutbas in our community by better training individuals and offering advice and suggestions to the pool of khateebs. Alhamdo lillah, we have had discussions with a few Imams, chaplains, teachers, and activists in developing this Khateeb Program. Based on public speaking model, this workshop will engage khateebs to enhance their public speaking and communication skills.

Please feel free to forward this info to religious board, Imams, and MSA leaders.
