Quotes
In the khateeb's words
“true faith the true iman is about maintaining the good practices even after the month of Ramadan comes to an end”
“come to the masjid just because Ramadan is over does not mean that we stop coming to the masjid”
“instead what you should do is tell your responsibilities that you have Qur'an even if it is just one page a day reading”
“this does not have to be consecutively meaning you do not have to fast the six days right behind each other you can split it up however you want in the month of shawwal”
Talk about it at home
For the dinner table
The khateeb reminded us that Ramadan should change us beyond the month itself. True faith means continuing good habits through regular prayer, mosque attendance, Qur'an reading, fasting, and charity. Even small steps, such as one page of Qur'an or one ayah with reflection, can keep us connected to Allah. He also asked us to remember the people of Palestine and Masjid al-Aqsa in our duas. The goal is to remain people of worship throughout the year, not only during Ramadan.
- What is one Ramadan habit you would like our family to keep doing?
- What would you like to ask Allah for the people of Palestine?
