"Khutba" means sermon, "Sania" means second, and "Juma" refers to Friday. Therefore, the Khutba Sania Juma is the . In Islamic jurisprudence, it is a necessary requirement for the validity of the Jumu'ah prayer.
Cell phones should be silenced, and physical restlessness should be minimized.
Every Khutba Sania begins with the glorification of Allah. The Khateeb (sermon deliverer) utilizes specific Arabic phrases to affirm Allah’s majesty, mercy, and supreme authority. This establishes a state of humility and gratitude within the mosque. 2. Ash-Shahadah (The Testimony of Faith)
While minor variations exist across different schools of thought (Madhabs), a widely utilized version of the Khutba Sania in the South Asian and Hanafi traditions is detailed below. Arabic Text
"Praise be to Allah. We praise Him, seek His help, ask for His forgiveness, believe in Him, and rely upon Him. We seek refuge in Allah from the evils of our souls and the malice of our deeds. Whomever Allah guides, none can misguide; and whomever He leaves to stray, none can guide. We bear witness that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah, alone without partner, and we bear witness that our master Muhammad is His servant and Messenger. khutba sania juma
واعلموا أن للابتلاء حكمة، فصبرتم فهو خير، وإذا شكرتم فهو أفضل. فالصبر مدرسة تُعلمنا التواضع، والشكر باب يفتح لنا بركات لا نحصيها. ولا تظنوا أن مكاره الدنيا دليل على نسيان الله، بل قد تكون طريقًا لرفعة في الآخرة ومحوًا للذنوب. فاستقبلوا المحن بالصبر واللطف في القول والعمل.
Next Friday, when the Khatib sits and then stands again, lean in. That short second sermon is your moment to say: “Ameen, O Lord of the Worlds.”
By understanding its fixed Arabic text and deeply personal meaning— “Allahumma maghfirah” (Oh Allah, forgive)—you transform a routine ritual into a transformative encounter with Allah.
The Khateeb bearing witness to the oneness of Allah ( Tawhid ) and the finality of the prophethood of Muhammad (PBUH) is a mandatory pillar. It serves as a weekly renewal of the foundational oath of every Muslim. 3. Durood and Salawat (Blessings upon the Prophet) "Khutba" means sermon, "Sania" means second, and "Juma"
: Specific prayers for the protection and success of the Ummah. Guidelines for the Congregation
It is strictly forbidden ( Haram or Makruh Tahrimi , depending on the legal school) to speak while the Imam is delivering either the first or second sermon. Even telling someone next to you to "be quiet" is prohibited; the Prophet Muhammad noted that doing so invalidates the special reward of your Juma.
Only Arabic is allowed. Fact: While classical position prefers Arabic, many scholars allow dua in the local language in the second sermon so people understand and say Ameen meaningfully.
وَنَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، وَنَشْهَدُ أَنَّ سَيِّدَنَا وَمَوْلَانَا مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ. Cell phones should be silenced, and physical restlessness
The Imam must sit down completely between the two sermons. This brief pause symbolizes the transition and allows the Imam a moment of rest.
(Allahumma baarik 'ala Muhammadin wa 'ala aali Muhammadin, kama baarakta 'ala Ibrahima wa 'ala aali Ibrahima, innaka Hamidun Majeed)
So next Jumu’ah, when the khatib sits, then stands again — listen differently. The first sermon woke you up. The second is asking: What will you do now?
The audience must remain completely silent and attentive during both sermons. Speaking, using phones, or even telling someone else to be quiet voids the rewards of Jumu'ah. Essential Elements (Arkan) of the Second Sermon
To proceed: O servants of Allah! May Allah have mercy on you. Indeed, Allah commands justice, good conduct, and giving to relatives, and He forbids immorality, bad conduct, and oppression. He admonishes you so that perhaps you will be reminded.
