Finish Ramadan with worship and Eid duties
“Our actions are judged by how they end, so try to finish this month in the best way.”
Muslims should devote the remaining nights of Ramadan to worship and Laylat al-Qadr, then complete the month through Eid takbir, zakat al-fitr, and following the Prophet’s guidance.
The khutbah in 5 steps
- Urges obedience, increased good deeds, and seeking Laylat al-Qadr during Ramadan’s remaining nights.
- Explains Laylat al-Qadr’s blessings, angelic descent, peace, and duration from Maghrib to Fajr.
- Recommends dua, Quran reading, congregational prayer, charity, zakat, and late-night worship.
- Presents Eid practices including takbir, zakat al-fitr before prayer, good clothing, dates, and takbir while traveling to prayer.
- Concludes with prayers for forgiveness, accepted deeds, and security for Muslims, including those in Gaza, Sudan, and Lebanon.
In the khateeb's words
“Our actions are judged by how they end, so try to finish this month in the best way.”
“Try to make your hearts humble in these nights. Make a lot of Dua and use every moment of it with goodness and don't forget the Dua.”
“It must be given before the Eid prayer. It helps the poor and cleans the fasting person from mistakes made during fasting.”
“So follow the guidance of the Messenger of Allah alayhi wa sallam on Eid. And in all parts of your life, if you do so, you will succeed in this life and in the next.”
For the dinner table
The khateeb reminded us that the end of Ramadan is still a precious chance to turn to Allah and do good. He encouraged us to seek Laylatul Qadr through prayer, humble hearts, and plenty of dua, hoping for Allah’s forgiveness. He described it as a night filled with mercy, blessings, and peace until dawn. As Eid approaches, he reminded us to thank Allah with takbir and give zakat al-futr before the Eid prayer to help the poor and purify our fasting. He also encouraged us to follow the Prophet’s example on Eid and prayed for forgiveness, accepted deeds, and safety for Muslims facing hardship.
