Talk about it at home

For the dinner table

The speaker said Islam is not only part of our past; it is guidance we need today and for our future. He reminded us that faith is connected to the prayers of Ibrahim and Ismail and is a trust we should preserve for those who come after us. Islam gives answers about purpose, right and wrong, and balancing the needs of our bodies, souls, families, and communities. Instead of simply following everyone else, we should ask honest questions, study, and grow in certainty. Finally, he called families to work together and support institutions that help the next generation stay connected to Islam.

  1. What is one part of your life where Islam helps you decide what is right?
  2. What does preserving our faith for the next generation look like in our family?
  3. What question about Islam would you like us to explore together this week?
