quote:

[3] "The sermon - in everytime and place - must be done in accordance to what the people are in need of from those things they lack knowledge of, such as religious rulings, as well as that which leads one towards obeying Allaah and His Messenger. And there must be brief talking about the worldly affairs apart from the affairs of the Hereafter.  And there must be in it that which directs towards belief in resurrection and the distribution (of people's records of deeds), and Paradise and Hellfire. And there should be that which directs to doing good deeds and being sincere in that, as well as what leads to being righteous with one another, keeping contact with one another and being merciful towards one another.  And also there should be that which directs towards the abandonment of breaking ties with one another, opposing one another and oppressing one another. And in it should be that which directs to mutual cooperation with one another on goodness and fearing of Allaah and helping the oppressed one as well as the oppressor, by refraining him from oppressing.  And  he could mention the virtuous times and months and years and encourage the people to pray and fast and make hajj and to abide by all the precepts of the Religion. This was the way of the Messenger of Allaah. the rightly guided Khaleefahs, and the Imaams and Scholars with regard to their khutbahs, admonitions and reminders. And their objective and aim was to give warning and to give good tidings. So this is the Sunnah, and what is outside of this is an innovation."

quote:

[4] "The scope of the Prophet's khutbah would be centered on: Praising Allaah, thanking Him for His blessings, describing His perfection and praiseworthy Attributes, teaching the principles of Islaam, mentioning Paradise, the Hellfire and the Final Day of Return, commanding the people to be dutiful to Allaah, and explaining what causes Allaah's Anger and what brings about His Contentment. This is what the khutbahs of Allaah's Messenger (sallallahu alahi wa salam) was centered around"

quote:

[5] "I love that the Imaam limit his khutbah to the praising of Allaah, sending Salaat on Allaah's Messenger, admonishing the people and reciting the Qur'aan - and that he not go beyond this"[6]...   [7]"Abdul-Majeed reported to us from Ibn Juraij that he said: 'What the people call to nowadays in the khutbah, has it been conveyed to you from the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa salam) or from someone after the Prophet?' So he responded: 'No, rather it was innovated. The khutbah used to just be a reminder." [8]
