Points of benefit from khutbah: 

• True success is for the one who dies upon Tawheed

• True loss is for the one who dies upon shirk 

• Whomsoever has taken shaitan as a protector then he is the one who is in loss

•Following the lowly desire leads to the hellfire 

• "Verily it has been revealed to you(Oh Muhammad) and those before you that if you was to associate partners with Allah, then your righteous good deeds will be null and void and you will be from the losers!" 

• Belief in the day of resurrection 

• If your good deeds are not coupled by the teaching of Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم then it will be like scattered dust on the day of judgement

• Oh you who believe do not allow your wealth and your children to take you away from the remembrance of Allah 

• The mufliss(bankrupt) one on the day of judgement is the one who has oppressed others in the worldly life and will have to pay them back from his good deeds and take upon their bad deeds 

• Surah Asr is a tremendous reminder
