Q3: What is “Khutbah”?

 “Khutbah خُطبہ” (sermon) means remembrance of Almighty Allaah even though “Al-Hamdu Lillah الحمدللہ” or “Sub haanAllahسُبحان اللہ ” or “Laa Ilaaha Illal-Laahuلا الہٰ الا اللہ ” is recited only once, “Farz” will be fulfilled. But it is

“Makrooh” to recite so little. If “Al-Hamdu Lillah” is said on sneeze or “Sub haanAllah” or “Laa Illaha Illal-Laahu” is said on any surprise, in such conditions “Farz” will not be fulfilled.
