Establish the prayer, pay the zakat , and remember Allah often — on Friday and every day. For the best of speech is the Book of Allah, and the best of guidance is the guidance of Muhammad (peace be upon him).
Below is an inspired by the style and themes of his Friday sermons (focusing on taqwa (God-consciousness), spiritual reflection, social justice, and balance in life). A Friday Sermon in the Spirit of Sheikh Salih bin Humaid "O people, fear Allah as He should be feared, and do not die except as Muslims."
Which translates to:
Know that the test of true faith is not in ease but in hardship. When trials come — as they surely will — turn to Allah in sincere supplication. Reconnect with the Qur’an, not as a text you recite mechanically, but as a light that guides every step. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "The example of the believer who recites the Qur’an is like that of a citron — its taste is pleasant and its scent is pleasant."
"Indeed, Allah commands justice, good conduct, and giving to relatives, and forbids immorality, bad conduct, and oppression. He admonishes you that you might remember." (Qur'an 16:90) khtbt aljmt llshykh salh bn hmyd
O servants of Allah, I advise you and myself to have taqwa of Allah — for it is the best provision for the soul and the key to every good. In the chaos of this worldly life, with its distractions and fleeting pleasures, the believer stands firm upon the path of righteousness.

All praise is due to Allah, who made Friday a day of remembrance for the believers. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah alone, without partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger.
Let your dealings be honest. Let your tongues be truthful. Let your hearts be clean of envy and malice. And never underestimate a single good deed — even a smile, even removing harm from the road. A Friday Sermon in the Spirit of Sheikh
O Muslims, our Ummah today is afflicted with division, neglect of justice, and forgetfulness of its core mission: to enjoin good and forbid evil. Sheikh Salih bin Humaid often reminds us that unity is not merely a slogan; it is a duty. Do not let differences in opinion break the bonds of brotherhood. The strong believer is not one who defeats others, but one who controls himself in anger.
O Allah, unite the hearts of the Muslims. O Allah, grant safety to the weak and oppressed. O Allah, forgive us, our parents, and all believers. Ameen.
