  1. Dua is an easy, powerful act of worship that people often neglect.
  2. Continue salah, charity, Quran, remembrance, and mosque attendance after Ramadan.
  3. Parents should pray for their children's righteousness rather than focusing only on appearance or status.
  4. Salah should reform a person's relationships and daily conduct.
  5. Children should honor and care for parents through humility, gratitude, and loving service.
  6. Parents should avoid cursing children and keep praying for their guidance.

For the dinner table

The khateeb reminded us that dua costs nothing and encouraged us to turn to Allah often. Ramadan should help us build habits of prayer, charity, and connection with the masjid that continue throughout the year. He urged parents to pray for their children to grow in faith and good character, whatever their age. He also reminded us to appreciate our parents’ sacrifices and treat them with care and respect. Parents teach through their example as well as their words, so family life should include good conduct, loving guidance, and prayers for one another.

  1. What is one habit from Ramadan you would like us to keep together?
  2. What would you like to ask Allah for someone in our family?
  3. How could we show appreciation for a parent or caregiver this week?
