Ramadan should purify your wealth too

London Muslim Mosque

“We have to purify our money our sources our income and the way of dealing with others.”

The khateeb, at 11:19

Watch the khutbahFamily kit
In one sentence

Ramadan should purify not only the heart through fasting but also one's wealth, income, dealings, and relationship with the community.

The khutbah in 6 steps

  1. The khutbah links the fasting verses to Quran 2:188's prohibition of consuming wealth unjustly.
  2. Fasting purifies the heart, but unlawful income and withheld rights can undermine that purification.
  3. Ramadan should transform how believers deal with others and inspire justice beyond personal worship.
  4. The Prophet's generosity in Ramadan demonstrates that charity is practical evidence of faith.
  5. Charity, feeding those who fast, zakat, and zakat al-fitr purify wealth and help the needy celebrate Eid.
  6. The khutbah closes with prayers for justice, oppressed Muslims, and Gaza before the prayer.

For the dinner table

The khutbah teaches that Ramadan is meant to purify more than our stomachs. Along with fasting, we should make sure our income is lawful, return people's rights, and stop dishonest dealings. The Prophet's generosity in Ramadan shows that worship should overflow into charity, feeding those who fast, and helping neighbors. Zakat al-fitr purifies the fast and helps people celebrate Eid with dignity. The family takeaway is to let Ramadan change how we treat both our money and our community.
