For the dinner table

The khateeb reminds us that the Quran is meant to guide and revive our lives, not appear only at funerals or in Ramadan. We are encouraged to read it regularly, reflect on its meaning, and let its teachings shape our choices and relationships. The sermon also presents the Quran as a source of spiritual and physical healing, including reciting al-Fatihah and protective surahs. Families can build this connection by learning together, teaching children, and making the Quran part of everyday life.
