Dua for beginning a khutba or before beginning a lesson: “Innalhamdalillah nahmaduhu”
Why do we recite a Dua before speech?
Starting a talk with a dua is seeking the help of Allah and glorifying Allah before a praiseworthy action of imparting ilm. It also helps to create a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere, promoting a sense of togetherness among the audience members and reminds the speaker of the importance of gratitude and humility.
For students and teachers alike, the commencement of each lesson marks an opportunity to seek Allah’s blessings and wisdom. Among the most frequent recited supplication by the asatizas is the invocations “Innalhamdalillah Nahmaduhu,” a prayer that expresses gratitude to the Almighty and beseeches His guidance.
