Talk about it at home
For the dinner table
The khateeb reminded us that Ramadan gave us the Qur’an as guidance and helped shape our character. He said Eid should carry forward love for fellow believers, cooperation in goodness, and care for Muslims near and far. He encouraged us to help improve our communities by supporting good work and speaking up for what is right. He asked parents to lead by example, join a masjid team, and help build a caring, organized community.
