Quotes
In the khateeb's words
“The secret to success is not a burst of effort one moment. The secret to success is a consistent system of effort throughout a period of time.”
“And so every believer should take from the worship what they can maintain for 10 days.”
“So Laylat al-Qadr is a time of asking for mercy. And it's a time of seeking forgiveness.”
Talk about it at home
For the dinner table
The last ten nights of Ramadan are a precious chance to seek Laylat al-Qadr, a night whose reward is greater than a thousand months. The khateeb encouraged us not to take this opportunity for granted, but to build a steady worship routine we can maintain across all ten nights. We can pray, read Quran, make dhikr, ask Allah for forgiveness, and encourage our families with kindness, increasing our efforts when we have more time. We should also make heartfelt dua for mercy, nearness to Allah, and relief and safety for people suffering around the world.
