O Allah, forgive the believing men and women, the Muslim men and women, the living among them and the dead. O Allah, grant victory to our oppressed brothers and sisters everywhere. O Allah, relieve the distress of the distressed, settle the debts of the indebted, heal our sick and the sick of the Muslims. Our Lord, give us good in this world and good in the Hereafter, and protect us from the punishment of the Fire. Indeed, You are over all things capable. In many contemporary mosques, the second sermon has become a rushed, mechanical recitation. However, understanding its profound origins—rooted in the Prophet’s ﷺ practice, upheld by all major schools of jurisprudence, and rich in communal supplication—can restore its spiritual weight.
أما بعد: يا أيها الذين آمنوا اتقوا الله حق تقاته ولا تموتن إلا وأنتم مسلمون.
: All praise is due to Allah, abundant, pure, and blessed praise, as our Lord loves and is pleased with. I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah alone, without partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger. O Allah, send prayers upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as You sent prayers upon Ibrahim and the family of Ibrahim, and bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as You blessed Ibrahim and the family of Ibrahim, in all worlds. Indeed, You are Praiseworthy, Glorious.
