Description
Summary:Today, the Friday khutbah in Malaysia still cannot transform the Muslim societies into something that we all can be proud of. The content of the khutbah has lost its relevance to Muslims' life and no longer affects the hearts of Muslims. Thus, preparing a good quality of Friday khutbah texts is a must. JAKIM with its defined criteria and guidelines is very committed in preparing the texts of khutbah in responding to the actual needs of society. Therefore, this study is conducted to objectively analyze one year's worth of Friday khutbah texts prepared by JAKIM in 2012 in an endeavor to study the nature content of the khutbah texts in terms of its titles, topics, issues covered, types of khuÏbah as well as the technique and style of writing. The study on the content of 55 JAKIM's khutbah texts also aims to discover their relevance, strengths and weaknesses. This research is conducted based on a qualitative research. The study found that the Friday khutbah texts prepared by JAKIM were calendar based and standardized in nature. However, they were reasonably good and mainly focused on Muslims' practical life. These khutbah actually emphasised on the basics of Islamic belief and the repetition of what the audience already know. Almost all the khuÏbah regardless of their topic emphasised on reminding the audience about proper Islamic behaviour. However, there were some irrelevance and weaknesses found in the khutbah texts prepared by JAKIM. In the last part of the research, some suggestions and recommendations are put forward to improve the quality of Friday khutbah texts in the future. It is hoped that through this research, the people may be conscious about the significance of Friday khutbah in their life and the needs to prepare good quality khutbah texts.
