In his khutbah, the Shaykh underscored the significance of goal-setting, stating that it helps Muslims remain focused on their religious duties and responsibilities, adding that setting concrete targets ensures that believers remain steadfast in their devotion and avoid neglecting their obligations.

The sermon concluded with a call for all Muslims to take a proactive approach to organising their spiritual and worldly affairs, encouraging them to integrate acts of worship and charity into their daily lives for the betterment of themselves and their communities.
