Re: …Sleeping During Jummah…
I agree. There is no strict hadith where you HAVE to sit a certain way in a masjid.
About the khutba, it might be due to the same thing we hear over and over again instead of current events and what is happening to our muslim brothers/sisters around the world. And plus the khutba does not have to be an hour long. It is always better to keep it short and to the point.
