Some points discussed during this Khuṭbah:

- The great difficulty of holding on to one’s dīn in latter times.
- Reminding ourselves of the verse, “Or think you that you will enter Paradise without such (trials) as came to those who passed away before you? They were afflicted with severe poverty and ailments and were so shaken that even the Messenger and those who believed along with him said, ‘When (will come) the Help of Allāh?’ Yes! Certainly, the Help of Allāh is near!” [Sūrah al-Baqarah 2:214]
- The amazing affair of the believer.
- The two scenarios a believer finds himself in, and what is upon him in each situation. 
- Ibn Mas’ūd (رضى الله عنه) on the two things īmān entails. 
- Thanking Allāh for being guided to the dīn and understanding these principles. 
- Having good thoughts of Allāh.
- Ḥasan al-Baṣrī (رحمه الله) on the mindset we should have regarding calamities. 
- The only means of attaining true honour.
