Endowments Department Releases Friday Sermon on Respecting People's Status
Today’s Friday sermon was titled "Put People in Their Places... Respecting Symbols." It emphasized the importance of appreciating virtuous and knowledgeable people and recognizing their rightful status, with a focus on maintaining the dignity of scholars and social figures and not diminishing their worth—especially in the age of social media, which enables quick insults. The sermon indicated that respecting important figures contributes to social stability and strengthens intergenerational bonds. Muslims should demonstrate good manners in gatherings and show respect for scholars and social icons, drawing on the sayings of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and Qur’anic verses that urge respect for elders and scholars, and discourage acts of insult or belittlement. The sermon affirms that preserving respect for symbols and their positions promotes high morals and helps build a cohesive society rooted in justice and integrity. Such respect is a fundamental component of progress and advancement.
