Sending peace and blessings upon the Prophet (PBUH), his family, and his companions.
Below is a widely utilized and authentic text for the Khutba Sania, frequently recited in mosques globally. Arabic Text
It is mandatory for congregants to sit quietly and listen to the imam during both the Khutba Ula and Khutba Sania.
Khutba Sania Juma, also known as the second Khutba of Juma, is a significant part of the Friday prayer (Juma) in many Muslim communities, particularly in the Indian subcontinent. The term "Khutba" refers to a sermon or a speech delivered during the Friday prayer, while "Sania" means second. In this write-up, we will explore the concept, importance, and content of Khutba Sania Juma.
يا أيها الناس، اتقوا الله حق تقاته، واعلموا أن الأيام تجري بغير رجعة، والسنون تمضي لا تنتظر سائلًا أو طالبًا. إنما الدنيا دار عمل، وما عملتم فيها من خير يلحقكم، وما تركتم فيها من زاد تُحاسَبون عليه يوم القيامة. فلا تغرنكم زينة الحياة الدنيا، ولا تلهيكم عن ذكر خالقكم وبناء ما يُنفعكم عند ربكم.
The Imam reminds the congregation to fear Allah, remain conscious of His commands, and prepare for the Hereafter.

: Highlighting that "Divine remembrance is the highest virtue". Closing Duas
(Translation: All praise is due to Allah, we praise Him, seek His help, and seek His forgiveness. We seek refuge in Allah from the evils within ourselves and the wickedness of our deeds. Whoever Allah guides, none can misguide, and whoever He allows to go astray, none can guide. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, alone, without any partner, and I bear witness that our Master Muhammad is His servant and Messenger...)
As seen in the traditional text, the second sermon almost universally concludes with the recitation of Verse 90 from Surah An-Nahl: "Indeed, Allah orders justice and good conduct..."
• Silence: It is strictly forbidden to speak, even to tell someone else to be quiet, once the sermon begins.• Attentiveness: Maintaining focus on the Imam, even if the Arabic is not fully understood, carries immense reward.• Minimal Movement: One should avoid fidgeting or looking at phones, treating the sermon with the same respect as the prayer itself. Conclusion
Supplications for the forgiveness of the congregation, the unity of Muslims, and safety from trials.
