Sheik Abubakarr Kuyateh – Four Prophetic Teachings for Entering Paradise in Peace – 10/02/2026 02.10.2026 42минFrom Masjid ul Bayyinah – (Columbus, OH)What if the path to Paradise could be summarized in four simple yet profound teachings? This khutbah explores a powerful prophetic tradition in which the Prophet (PBUH) gave four comprehensive instructions that, if followed, lead the believer to enter Paradise in peace.The imam breaks down these teachings, explaining how each one addresses a different dimension of our faith—our relationship with Allah, our relationship with others, our speech, and our actions. He reminds us that these are not difficult commands reserved for scholars or the especially pious, but practical guidance for every Muslim who desires the pleasure of Allah and the safety of the Hereafter.Drawing from the Qur'an and Sunnah, this sermon calls us to reflect on our daily habits: What do we say? How do we treat people? How do we guard our tongues and our actions? A beautiful reminder that Paradise is not earned through grand gestures alone, but through consistent obedience to the simple, powerful teachings of the Prophet (PBUH).📍 Masjid ul Bayyinah3300 Cleveland AvenueColumbus, OH 43219📧 [email protected]📅 Date: October 2, 2026 -
Br. Demba-Seeking knowledge 09/25/2026 25.09.2026 43минFrom Masjid Darul Haq – (Columbus, OH)Knowledge is not merely information to be collected—it is a light that guides the heart, a trust to be carried, and a path that draws us closer to Allah. This khutbah opens with a reflection on Surah Al-Kahf, the chapter the Prophet (PBUH) encouraged us to recite every Friday, which contains profound lessons on seeking knowledge, patience, and humility.The speaker reminds us that the pursuit of Islamic knowledge is one of the noblest acts of worship. He draws from the story of Musa (AS) and Al-Khidr—a narrative that teaches us that true knowledge requires humility, that we never stop learning, and that there is always someone Allah has granted understanding we do not possess. He also reflects on the trials of the Dajjal and the importance of seeking refuge in Surah Al-Kahf, which prepares the believer for the greatest fitnah of all time.Drawing from the Qur'an and Sunnah, this khutbah calls us to seek knowledge with sincerity, to act upon what we learn, and to never consider ourselves above being taught. A powerful reminder that the one who seeks knowledge is on a path to Paradise—and that the best knowledge is the knowledge that transforms the heart and brings us closer to Allah.📍 Masjid Darul Haq6170 Busch BlvdColumbus, OH 43229📅 Date: September 25, 2026 -
Sheik Osman Barrie – Neglecting Your Salah – 09/25/2026 25.09.2026 45минFrom Masjid As-Sunnah – (Columbus, OH)Salah is the foundation of our faith—the first thing we will be asked about on the Day of Judgment, and the dividing line between belief and disbelief. Yet how often do we delay it, rush through it, or push it aside for the affairs of this world? This khutbah delivers a powerful warning against neglecting our prayers.The imam reminds us that we prioritize our daily tasks, our work, our errands, and our entertainment—all while the prayer waits. But the prayer does not wait forever. We assume we will live to pray the next salah, but the next moment is not guaranteed to anyone. How many people woke up today with plans for tomorrow, only to find their book of deeds closed before they could pray again?Drawing from the Qur'an and Sunnah, this sermon calls us to give the prayer its rightful place—above our work, above our schedules, above our desires. The prayer is not an interruption in our day; it is the purpose around which our day should be built. A sobering reminder that the salah we neglect today may be the one we long to perform tomorrow, when it is too late.📍 Masjid As-Sunnah5929 Karl RoadColumbus, OH 43229(614) 897-7979📧 [email protected]📅 Date: September 25, 2026 -
Sheik Mohamed Sadick Alghali – The Importance of Youths in Islam – 09/25/2026 25.09.2026 40минFrom Masjid ul Bayyinah – (Columbus, OH)The youth are not just the future of the ummah—they are its present. This khutbah highlights the vital role young people play in the preservation and progress of Islam, reminding us that some of the greatest contributions to our faith were made by those who were young in age but immense in spirit.The imam reflects on the examples of young believers in Islamic history—from Prophet Yusuf (AS) who stood firm in the face of temptation, to Mus'ab ibn Umayr who carried the banner of Islam as a young ambassador, to Usama ibn Zayd who led an army while still in his teens. These were not men of gray hair but young hearts on fire with faith.He reminds parents and elders of their duty to nurture, guide, and encourage the youth—to see them as assets, not burdens, and to invest in their Islamic education and spiritual development. And he calls upon the youth themselves to rise, to take their place in the ranks of the believers, and to use their energy, talents, and time in the service of Allah.Drawing from the Qur'an and Sunnah, this sermon is a powerful reminder that the strength of the ummah lies in its youth—and that the youth are the ones who will carry the light of Islam into the next generation. A timely message for parents, leaders, and young people alike.📍 Masjid ul Bayyinah3300 Cleveland AvenueColumbus, OH 43219📧 [email protected]📅 Date: September 25, 2026 -
Sheik Amin A. Jalloh – The Gates of Goodness and Baraka 18.09.2026 49минFrom Masjid ul Bayyinah – (Columbus, OH)The gates of goodness and baraka are incredibly abundant—and one of the greatest keys to unlocking them is honoring our parents. This khutbah reminds us that kindness and obedience to our parents is not merely a social courtesy but a divine command, mentioned by Allah alongside His own worship in the Qur'an.The imam explores the many doors through which goodness enters our lives—prayer, charity, gratitude, repentance, good character, and acts of kindness. He reminds us that baraka is not merely an increase in wealth or provision, but a divine blessing that multiplies the value of what we have, no matter how little it may seem.Drawing from the Qur'an and Sunnah, this sermon calls us to open our hearts to receive Allah's goodness, to recognize the blessings already present in our lives, and to never despair of Allah's mercy. A powerful reminder that the gates of goodness are open—but we must choose to walk through them.📍 Masjid ul Bayyinah3300 Cleveland AvenueColumbus, OH 43219📧 [email protected]📅 Date: September 18, 2026 -
Sheik Abdul K. Mansaray – Being Mindful of Allah 18.09.2026 32минFrom Masjid As-Sunnah – (Columbus, OH)Being mindful of Allah—living with taqwa—is the foundation of a believer's life. This khutbah reminds us that taqwa is not merely a concept to be studied but a state of the heart to be lived: a constant awareness that Allah sees us, hears us, and knows what is in our hearts and minds.The imam explores how mindfulness of Allah transforms our actions, our speech, and our intentions. When we truly internalize that Allah is with us at every moment, we guard our tongues, we lower our gaze, we act with justice, and we turn to Him in every situation—in ease and in hardship, in private and in public.Drawing from the Qur'an and Sunnah, this sermon calls us to renew our taqwa, to make it the driving force behind every decision, and to remember that the most honorable among us are those who are most mindful of Allah. A powerful reminder that taqwa is the path to success in this life and the next.📍 Masjid As-Sunnah5929 Karl RoadColumbus, OH 43229(614) 897-7979📧 [email protected]📅 Date: September 18, 2026 -
Sheik Mufty Yassin – Advice of Imam Al-Shafi'i (Part 3): Remembering Allah in All Our Affairs 11.09.2026 1ч 10минFrom Masjid Darul Haq – (Columbus, OH)This khutbah continues the series on the timeless advice of Imam Al-Shafi'i, with a powerful focus on remembering Allah in every aspect of our daily lives—our dealings, our conversations, our work, and our quiet moments.The imam delivers a sobering reminder: everything we chase in this world—wealth, property, status—will be fought over by our own families the moment we are gone. The house we built, the money we saved, the possessions we guarded—all of it will be divided, disputed, and forgotten. What remains is only what we sent ahead for our Hereafter.Drawing from the wisdom of Imam Al-Shafi'i and the Qur'an, this sermon calls us to shift our focus from accumulation to remembrance. To keep Allah present in our transactions, our speech, and our intentions. To live as travelers, not settlers—knowing that our true home is not here, and that the only thing we truly own is what we do for Allah.A continuation from last week, this is a timely reminder to detach our hearts from the temporary and attach them to the Eternal.Sermons Starts at 05:14📍 Masjid Darul Haq6170 Busch BlvdColumbus, OH 43229📅 Date: September 11, 2026 -
Sheik Mohamed Alie Jalloh – Giving Thanks for Allah's Blessings 11.09.2026 45минFrom Masjid ul Bayyinah – (Columbus, OH)Gratitude is the currency of faith—yet how often do we forget the countless blessings Allah showers upon us every single moment? This khutbah is a powerful wake-up call about our ingratitude.The imam reminds us of a profound truth: every night when we sleep, our souls are taken, and it is only by Allah's mercy that they are returned to us in the morning. Every breath we take is free air He provides. Every heartbeat is a gift we did not earn.Drawing from the Qur'an and Sunnah, this sermon calls us to reflect on the simplest yet most profound blessings—life, breath, health, and the mercy of another day—and to respond not with forgetfulness, but with a heart overflowing in thanks. A beautiful reminder that the one who is grateful is the one who truly understands the generosity of Allah, and that gratitude itself is a blessing that brings more blessings.📍 Masjid ul Bayyinah3300 Cleveland AvenueColumbus, OH 43219📧 [email protected]📅 Date: September 11, 2026 -
Sheik Osman Barrie – Allah's Test: A Story of Gratitude (Part 2) 11.09.2026 29минFrom Masjid As-Sunnah – (Columbus, OH)This khutbah continues the profound story of the three men from Bani Isra'il—the leper, the bald man, and the blind man—who were each tested by Allah with illness, then healed, then tested again with wealth and blessing.In this continuation, the imam completes the narrative of what happened when the angel returned to each man in the image of his former affliction, asking for charity in Allah's name. The leper and the bald man, having forgotten where their blessings came from, refused and falsely claimed their wealth was inherited. Their punishment was severe—they lost everything they had been given.The blind man, however, recognized the source of his blessings. He gave generously, acknowledged Allah's favor, and was rewarded with the preservation of his sight, his wealth, and his honor.The khutbah drives home the lesson: the greatest test is not hardship—it is blessing. Will we remember Allah when we are comfortable? Will we remain generous when we have plenty? Or will we, like the first two men, forget the One who gave us everything? A powerful continuation and a timely reminder that gratitude is the key to keeping Allah's blessings.⏱ Time Stamps: 0:00–15:39 (Fulani) | 15:40–29:33 (English)📍 Masjid As-Sunnah5929 Karl RoadColumbus, OH 43229(614) 897-7979📧 [email protected]📅 Date: September 11, 2026 -
Sheik Mufty Yassin – Advice of Imam Al-Shafi'i (Part 2) 04.09.2026 57минFrom Masjid Darul Haq – (Columbus, OH)This khutbah continues the reflection on the timeless wisdom of Imam Al-Shafi'i—one of the greatest scholars in Islamic history and the founder of the Shafi'i school of jurisprudence . While he was renowned for his mastery of fiqh, Imam Al-Shafi'i also left behind a rich legacy of spiritual counsel and practical guidance for daily life .The imam shares some of these profound advices, including the famous saying: "I complained to my teacher about my inability to memorize, so he advised me to leave off bad deeds. He informed me that knowledge is light, and that the light of Allah is not granted to one who engages in bad deeds" . This serves as a powerful reminder that spiritual knowledge and remembrance are inextricably linked to one's actions and intentions.The khutbah also draws on Imam Al-Shafi'i's counsel on guarding the tongue and sincerity: "Whoever would love for Allah to open their heart, or to illuminate their gaze, should leave excessive talking regarding things that don't concern them, keep away from sins, and have between them and Allah some carefully hidden good deeds" . This is further illustrated by the prophetic wisdom that Imam Al-Shafi'i championed: "From the excellence of a person's Islam is leaving all that doesn't concern them" A continuation of a previous lecture, this sermon is a beautiful call to marry knowledge with action—to not only seek Islamic knowledge but to let it transform the heart and purify the soul.📍 Masjid Darul Haq6170 Busch BlvdColumbus, OH 43229📅 Date: September 4, 2026 -

The imam asks a question that should shake every heart: When the final moment comes, are we truly ready to meet Allah? He reminds us that we live as if we are immortal, chasing the world, accumulating wealth, and neglecting the preparation for our return to our Lord. Yet death has no warning—it comes suddenly, without appointment. The sermon calls us to wake up, repent, and return to Allah while we still have the chance. A sobering and urgent reminder to examine our deeds, purify our hearts, and live each day as if it could be our last.📍 Masjid ul Bayyinah3300 Cleveland AvenueColumbus, OH 43219📧 [email protected]📅 Date: September 4, 2026 ---Brought to you by Sierra Leone Friday Sermons (UFS) -
Sheik Osman Barrie – Allah's Test: A Story of Gratitude 04.09.2026 22минFrom Masjid As-Sunnah – (Columbus, OH)This khutbah reflects on a profound hadith that teaches us about gratitude and the true nature of trials. The imam recounts the story of three men from the Children of Israel—a leper, a bald man, and a blind man—each afflicted with illness and poverty. Allah sent an angel in human form to test them, granting each man healing, wealth, and his heart's desire .Years later, the angel returned to each man in the image of his former affliction, asking for charity. The leper and the bald man, having forgotten Allah's blessing, refused and falsely claimed their wealth was inherited. The blind man, however, recognized Allah's favor and gave generously .The khutbah reminds us that trials often come after blessings to test our gratitude, not our patience. The greatest test is not hardship, but whether we remain humble and generous when Allah bestows His favors. A powerful call to never forget that every blessing is from Allah.⏱ Time Stamps: 0:00–13:42 (Fulani) | 13:43–29:34 (English)📍 Masjid As-Sunnah5929 Karl RoadColumbus, OH 43229(614) 897-7979📧 [email protected]📅 Date: September 4, 2026 -

Mansaray-Don't Sell Your Faith For The Worldly Goods 28.08.2026 39минFrom Masjid ul Bayyinah – (Columbus, OH)This khutbah delivers a powerful warning against trading our faith for the fleeting pleasures and temporary gains of this world. The imam reminds us that the greatest loss a believer can suffer is not financial or physical, but spiritual—exchanging eternal reward for momentary gratification. He calls us to reflect on the choices we make daily, and to ask ourselves: Are we prioritizing Allah's pleasure over the approval of people? Are we compromising our principles for worldly status or wealth? A stirring reminder that our faith is our most precious possession, and we must guard it fiercely, for the world will fade, but our deeds will remain.📍 Masjid ul Bayyinah3300 Cleveland AvenueColumbus, OH 43219📧 [email protected]📅 Date: August 28, 2026 -
Sheik Osman Barrie – Sincerity in Good Deeds: For the Sake of Allah Alone 28.08.2026 34минFrom Masjid As-Sunnah – (Columbus, OH)This khutbah reflects on the profound prophetic teachings about the importance of sincerity (ikhlas) in every act of worship. The imam reminds us that Allah does not look at our outward actions alone, but at the intentions behind them. A deed done for show, for praise, or for worldly gain loses its value in the sight of Allah—even if it appears great in the eyes of people. Drawing from authentic hadiths, the sermon calls us to purify our intentions, renew our commitment to doing good solely for Allah's pleasure, and guard against the whisperings of riya (showing off). A timely reminder that the most beloved deeds are those done with the purest hearts, seeking nothing but the Face of Allah.⏱ Time Stamps: 0:00–23:53 (Fulani) | 23:54–34:09 (English)📍 Masjid As-Sunnah5929 Karl RoadColumbus, OH 43229(614) 897-7979📧 [email protected]📅 Date: August 28, 2026 -
