For the dinner table

Ramadan is not meant to be a one-month performance; it should begin with faith and continue to change us. The khateeb encouraged us to recite the Quran every day, listen to it when needed, and work to understand and connect with it. A healthy heart notices advice, reflects on its own behavior, and responds to Allah's reminders. The story of the honest man who returned a stray apple reminds us that small acts of integrity can bless an entire family. We should enter Ramadan with hopeful intention and ask Allah to make the Quran live in our hearts.

  3. What small honest choice could make our family stronger?
