thread_title: Rewrite/expansion

message: * Use of "k̲h̲aṭīb" appears to be a completely different transliteration system--why not standardize?  Also, if we use a proper transliteration for khaṭīb, why not use khuṭbah throughout since I don't believe there is a standard anglicization (unlike with Qur'an).  Of course, mixed transliteration is an issue on almost every Islam-related page.
* "masjid jami�" seems to have an invalid character (although, I thought this university computer had most fonts)--we could use ʿ for the ʿayn?
All in all, good job expanding this article. gren グレン 15:02, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

message: All Google hits for "Qit'aal" seem to lead to this article or copies of it. Please explain the term, which is not known by most English speakers, such as me. Thanks! -- 92.226.26.91 (talk) 13:07, 21 September 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  What is "Qit'aal"? 

message: Islam is kind of hard for non-Muslims to grasp. We only take spiritual direction from God, sometimes conveyed through God’s Angels, as recited by the one of God’s prophets that is the prophet for our particular religion. We only take spiritual direction from God. Therefore, the Salat, the part of Juma’a which is directly taken from the Quran, is the entire Sermon. Different Islamic schools interpret the message using different ways, yet the message is the Quran.
What is said in the Khutbah is typically spiritual in nature. Yet all Islams, and of course true followers of Jesus and so on, are on a path involving spiritual study in a spiritual community.
One ramification of this is that the khatib is not a “preacher”. They have no spiritual authority, no special spiritual connection to God, even indirectly through church leaders. Not in Islam. Respected in the community, giving a little talk as part of community spiritual studies.
Not a sermon at all. The message from God is in the Salat, the prayer part. It’s not really all that complicated.
Sorry, I have no idea where to find references to support this, and my personal ramblings are not appropriate for Encyclopedic content. However, if I remember, I’ll come back and check this someday, and if someone reading this does suggest some references, I would be more than happy to help update the content per well referenced information. 2601:646:9B00:8320:D401:CFDB:CD1E:D6F1 (talk) 17:46, 30 December 2022 (UTC)
