Stay connected to the Quran all year
“All you had to do for a prosperous and a blissful home was to recite the Quran.”
Because the Qur'an was revealed in Ramadan and brings guidance, blessing, protection, and light, Muslims should recite and listen to it throughout Ramadan and remain connected to it year-round.
The khutbah in 6 steps
- Introduces Ramadan as the month of Qur'an revelation and explains the Qur'an as repeatedly recited guidance.
- Argues that Qur'an recitation brings barakah and helps preserve blessings such as faith, health, and wealth.
- Explains the special status and rewards of Qur'an reciters, listeners, and people of the Qur'an.
- Describes Qur'an-filled homes as spiritually illuminated, protected, and blessed with increased sustenance.
- Urges listeners to replace other audio with Qur'an recitation for the rest of Ramadan.
- Closes with the reward of each letter, encouragement to become people of the Qur'an, and supplications.
In the khateeb's words
“we would make sure to remain connected with it not only in the month of ramadan but all year long Subhanallah”
“Whether it's in your car, whether it's in your phone, whether wherever it be, cut it out.”
“All you had to do for a prosperous and a blissful home was to recite the Quran.”
For the dinner table
The khateeb reminded us that Ramadan is special because the Qur'an was revealed in it. The Qur'an gives guidance, brings blessing, and helps us protect the gifts Allah has given us. He encouraged us to recite and listen to it more during the rest of Ramadan and to keep it present in our homes. He also reminded us that Qur'an-filled homes can become places of peace and goodness. As a family, we can set aside regular time for recitation and try to carry that habit beyond Ramadan.
