Explanation
- Khutbah is the term for a religious sermon or address, most notably the one given before Friday prayer.
- The Friday Khutbah is delivered by the Khatib and forms a required part of the Jumu’ah prayer.
- Option B Dua means supplication, which is a personal prayer rather than a public address.
- Option C Tilawah refers to the recitation of the Quran.
- Khutbahs are also delivered at Eid, during Hajj and at the time of marriage, so the term is wider than Friday alone.
