Khutbah Resource

The goal of this initiative is to IDENTIFY and TRAIN the NEXT GENERATION OF KHATEEBS to meet the demands of a dynamic and diverse Muslim community in central New Jersey.  With this workshop, individuals will  better understand the art of public speaking and be able to write and deliver meaningful and relevant khutbahs  to a congregation of any size, age, or ethnicity. Even if you have been giving khutba for decades, this workshop will only enhance your public speaking skills.    URGENT REQUEST:  Since this is a community project, we ask that you recommend people who would be ideal candidates for the Khateeb Development Workshop.  For example, individuals who are serious about learning Islam, focused on their education, active in dawah work, gifted orators and writers, and known to have the best of manners.  We only want serious people who want to learn and give back to the community. I am sure you know a few individuals with the above description....
