For the dinner table

Musa’s early life shows how Allah can protect and guide someone even when circumstances seem impossible. His mother trusted Allah, Musa called on Him after fear and wrongdoing, and he kept kindness alive when he was far from home. The khateeb emphasized tawakkul, relying on Allah, along with taking good actions, such as helping others and seeking forgiveness. We can memorize and use Musa’s dua when we feel in need of Allah’s help.

  1. When have you needed to trust Allah even without knowing what would happen?
  2. How can we show kindness when we are worried or having a hard day?
  3. What dua could we practice remembering together this week?
