We are moving forward and gaining momentum as we find many of our qualified khateebs take lead in delivering family, Friday, youth halaqa, khatira after fajr, daily hadith, or jumuah prayers. Some of our khateebs in certification process are taking tajweed, Arabic and Islamic Studies (Quran, fiqh, hadith) courses to improve their recitation and knowledge of Islam which is praiseworthy. Our young and old khateebs are busy writing and speaking and improving their knowledge as we continue our KHUTBA TEAM assessment.
In general, khateebs need to pass two main areas:
1. Excellence in Tajweed
1a. Quran Recitation
1b. Leading prayers
2. Excellence in Public Speaking (khutba)
2a. memorize khutbat al-hajja and associated jumua requirements
2b. write a khutba (submit via email)
2c. give a jumua' khutba (recording should be sent to MYCCNJ [at] gmail)
2d. complete Khateeb Profile
For INSPIRING KHATEEBS, I hope this info is helpful in taking the NEXT BIG STEP and moving forward with certification process.

Mashallah this is really cool if i was a guy i wouldve particpated.. maybe you can give sisters a similar traning (sisters give lectures and lead salats to!) Only NJ would think of such a cool idea.. You should try to get high school students to also particpate ask the local islamic schools if they want help traning thier students to give khutbahs, and that can prepare them to give khutabhs in MSA and more inshallah.
