:salam2: Brother's and Sister's
Some may remember me from some time ago , i was away because i had a ton of finals and some other issues so alhumdulilah im almost done with all that .
This friday for my High School iv been assigned a Khutba, My subject will be on raising the Iman and getting everyone thinking about the upcoming Ramadan. I would like to concentrate on Iman in the first half and end it talking about Ramadan.
If anyone has some pointers/information or stories, that would be great . It should only be about 10 mins.
Jazakallah Khair to everyone for their help

" Ibn Khuzaima reported on the authority of Salman al-Farisi that the Prophet (saaw) delivered a Khutbah on the last day of Sh'aban saying: "O people: You are about to enter the shadow of a great blessed month. A night therein is better than a thousand months. Allah (swt) made fasting during this month an obligation and encouraged people to perform extra prayers. during its nights. Seeking nearness to Allah (swt) through a good deed would be considered like performing an obligatory act of worship. In turn, performance of an obligatory act of worship during this month would be rewarded seventy times more than during any other month. It is the month of patience, and the reward for patience is Jannah. It is the month of comforting others, and the month during which believers would enjoy plentifulness. The Prophet (saaw) went on to say:" Make sure you frequently do four things, two of which would please your Lord and the other two are indispensable for your salvation in the Hereafter. As for the two things that would please your Lord, they are: testifying to the oneness of Allah (swt) and seeking repentance. And the other two are: asking Allah the favour of entering Jannah and seeking refuge in Him from the Hell Fire."
