Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is a question from our Shaykh, and its asker says: Is there any advice for the imams of mosques and the preachers of Friday prayer?
Answer:
Yes, the imams of mosques are, in reality, guides and teachers. They are teachers. So they must fear Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and perform the leading of prayer and the sermon in the required manner, hoping for the reward, and they must be patient with the hardship.
And they should choose the topics that people need and present them well. They should present them well to them. They should take the Friday sermon with great seriousness. It is not intended to be words that are said and then end. The intention is words that have meaning and benefit.
The sermons of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) were few, blessed words. And they had an effect on the Muslims. It is not about the length of the sermon and the speech on the topic of the sermon. And the effect of the sermon. That is what is required, yes.
The presenter:
May Allah bless you, Honorable Shaykh.
