News | This site is about something more than just excessive bashing of khutbas on Fridays, although our homepage and about us section would indicate differently. This site is more for conversation, and oversight of what everyone of us faces during our Friday prayer routines. |
Whether we go to the same mosque, or different mosques all over the city, we all, almost entirely face the same scenario. Shouting, racist remarks, discriminatory slurs, and nonsensical banter from our leaders(khatibs). With the creation of this blog, we hope to provide two things:
1.) We hope to provide an open forum for all users who have experience Friday khutbas and have walked away feeling confused and irritated to find that they have nowhere to mention their frustrations, because people don't want to listen, or because people go to Friday prayer expecting a cookie cutter sermon.
2.) We hope to provide some solutions and stories to jumuah khutbas that we have come across in hopes that we can eventually rectify the issues that we all face on Fridays
We will be starting our blog officially this Friday and will take into consideration, the khatib's appearance, his ability to articulate, as well as the topic that comes up. We will also be posting our thoughts that occur during the khutba process.
