For the dinner table

The khutbah says Ramadan is coming, so we should begin preparing before it arrives. We should strengthen prayer, fasting, good deeds, and self-control, especially by leaving lies, cheating, and other harmful behavior. Ramadan is also a time to honor parents, care for family, spend responsibly, and maintain close ties with relatives. If we owe someone money or have treated someone unfairly, we should repair that harm and return what belongs to them. The khutbah also reminds us to forgive others while seeking Allah's forgiveness.
