The State Mufti in delivering the first khutbah or sermon among other matters touched on the deeds of Prophet Ibrahim Alaihisalam in developing Makkah as a country that is peaceful, fertile and prosperous just through seeking the blessings of Allah.

The second sermon clarified on reading al-Quran which is obligatory for the living from young until adulthood. This is because reading al-Quran is a prerequisite to obtaining aid and light while in the darkness surrounding death.
