Ramadan & fastingFrom the masjid's own video, Mar 6, 2026.
Treat all ten nights as Laylat al-Qadr
“We must treat every night of the last ten nights of Ramadan as if it is the night of glory.”
In one sentence
Because Ramadan's last ten nights include Laylat al-Qadr, Muslims should follow the Prophet's example by intensifying prayer, forgiveness, charity, and every good deed throughout all ten nights rather than relying on one night.
The khutbah in 5 steps
- The sermon introduces the last ten nights of Ramadan through the Prophet's year-round night worship.
- It describes the Prophet increasing prayer, charity, and devotion during Ramadan, especially its final ten nights.
- It explains Laylat al-Qadr as a night better than a thousand months and filled with peace and blessing.
- Listeners are urged to treat every one of the last ten nights as potentially Laylat al-Qadr, not only the 27th.
- The sermon warns against wasting the opportunity and closes with prayers for acceptance, guidance, and reaching Laylat al-Qadr.
