Summary
In the sermon, Uthman reminded the Muslims that the world is a temporary stopover full of deception, so they should hasten to do good and prioritise the hereafter. The ruling text draws several lessons: a reminder to the generation born after Islam reached its peak, the need to hasten to good deeds, awareness that worldly life is temporary, and gratitude for the faith and Islam received without the hardship faced by the earliest generation. The reminder was not directed at the Companions, whose faith was already firmly established.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Saidina Uthman bin Affan adalah khalifah yang ketiga selepas kewafatan Saidina Umar. Sebagaimana dua khalifah sebelumnya, beliau menyampaikan khutbah setelah dilantik di hadapan umat Islam.
