The khutba builder

Choose a shape, choose a theme, write in your own words, and watch the clock. The khutba, the Friday sermon, is short by sunnah and long in weight. Everything here saves in this browser alone, and prints for the minbar, the pulpit, in large type.

1Your khutba

A topic for your own reference. Nothing you type leaves this device.

2Choose a structure

Four shapes that have carried Friday sermons for a long time. Choosing one lays out its parts below, with the suggested minutes for each.

3Choose a theme

Twelve themes, each with a seed paragraph and its sources. Choosing one writes the seed and its references into the part you name below. The seed is a starting sentence, not a script: put it in your own mouth.

4The outline

Each part carries its guidance and its suggested minutes. Change the minutes and the running time above changes with you. Write your own notes in the boxes; they are what prints.

Choose a structure above and the outline appears here.

5The opening: khutbat al-hajah

The sermon of need, taught by the Prophet ﷺ as an opening for address. Recite it slowly, from memory if you can.

The shorter opening

When time or memory is short, this shorter opening is enough, and khatibs have used it for centuries.

6The second khutba

Stand again after the sitting. These are the elements the schools name, some as pillars and some as strong custom; tick them off as you place them.

The salawat, blessings on the Prophet ﷺ

The Ibrahimiyya, the form that names Ibrahim, taught by the Prophet ﷺ. Bukhari 3370, Muslim 406.

Three duas to close with

7The sunnah of the khutba

Nine rules of the Friday sermon as the Prophet ﷺ gave it, each with its source. Where scholars differ, the difference is named rather than hidden.

8Take it to the minbar

Print gives you large type made to be read while standing, with the two khutbas on separate pages. Copy puts the whole outline on your clipboard as plain text for any notes app.
