| [slm] So when you guys are talking about Islam in front of a group, how do you begin your speeches? Is Khutbah al-Haajah acceptable, or that should only be done for jumah prayers and nikkahs? |

| [slm] What's Khutbah al-Haaja? (detailed answer would be great) Wasalaam. |

| [slm] You've most likely heard it before, but here is a detailed response as to what Khutba al-Haajah is. A number of hadeeth scholars, such as Imaam al-Nisaa'i (may Allaah have mercy on him), have reported Khutbah al-Haajah. Al-Nisaa’i reported that ‘Abd-Allaah ibn Mas’ood (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: “The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) taught us Khutbat al-Haajah: Al-hamdu Lillaahi nasta’eenahu wa nastaghfiruhu, wa na’oodhu billaahi min shuroori anfusinaa wa sayi’aati a’maalinaa. Man yahdih Illaahu falaa mudilla lahu wa man yudlil falaa haadiya lahu. Wa ashhadu an laa ilaaha ill-Allaah wa ashhadu anna Muhammadan ‘abduhu wa rasooluhu (Praise be to Allaah, we seek His help and His forgiveness. We seek refuge with Allaah from the evil of our own souls and from our bad deeds. Whomsoever Allaah guides will never be led astray, and whomsoever Allaah leaves astray, no one can guide. I bear witness that there is no god but Allaah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger). Then he recited the following three aayaat (interpretation of the meaning): ‘Yaa ayyuha’lladheena aamanu-ttaqu’Llaaha haqqa tuqaatihi wa laa tamootunna illaa wa antum muslimoon (O you who believe! Fear Allaah as He should be feared, and die not except in a state of Islam (as Muslims) with complete submission to Allaah.)’ [Aal ‘Imraan 3:102], ‘Yaa ayyuha’n-naas uttaqu rabbakum alladhi khalaqakum min nafsin waahidatin wa khalaqa minhaa zawjahaa wa baththa minhumaa rijaalan katheeran wa nisaa’an wa’ttaqu-Llaah alladhi tasaa’aloona bihi wa’l-arhaama inna Allaaha kaana ‘alaykum raqeeban (O mankind! Be dutiful to your Lord, Who created you from a single person, and from him He created his wife, and from them both He created many men and women, and fear Allaah through Whom you demand your mutual (rights), and (do not cut the relations of) the wombs (kinship) Surely, Allaah is Ever an All-Watcher over you).’ [al-Nisaa’ 4:1], ‘Yaa ayyahu’lladheena aamanu-ttaqu’Llaaha wa qooloo qawlan sadeedan (O you who believe! Keep your duty to Allaah and fear Him, and speak (always) the truth).’ [al-Ahzaab 33:70].” (Sunan al-Nisaa’i: Kitaab al-Jumu’ah, Baab kayfiyyah al-khutbah). |

| [slm]... I'm not sure if this counts but when we start meetings, someone would always recite surah al-asr and also end with it. I've heard the one mentioned above only during khutbah even ones that weren't for jumua prayer. Allah (SWT) bless.... Ma-assalaamah.... |

| [slm], Also heard some speakers use the dua of Musa (as) in surah Taha:25-28 besides of course what brother bhaloo and others mentioned. Also, ending with what is recommended in surah Yunus:10 (Wa akhir Da'wana Anilhumdu lillahi rabbil alameen). |

| [slm] Bhaloo, I believe some scholars have opined that the best thing to start *any* talk is with khutbah al-haajah. It is not restricted to the Jumu'ah khutbah. It seems that the Prophet (saw) would start most of his talks with khutbah al-haajah. Of course the word for "talk" in Arabic is "khutbah." This is why some people think it's only for Jumu'ah khutbah, but in fact it was for "khutbah" in general (i.e. any address/lecture). Wallahu a'lam. |
