Build a lasting relationship with the Quran

TARIC

“Don't leave the Qur'an as something that we will visit again next Ramadan.”

The khateeb, at 42:14

In one sentence

A lasting relationship with the Quran after Ramadan requires improving recitation, learning its meaning, reflecting on its message, and applying it in life through steady practice.

The khutbah in 6 steps

  1. The final Friday of Ramadan is a special opportunity, and those unable to attend because of dangerous weather may pray at home.
  2. Because Ramadan is the month of the Quran, listeners are asked to plan their relationship with it after Ramadan ends.
  3. The four layers of Quranic relationship are recitation, understanding, reflection, and implementation.
  4. A weekly Thursday-night halaqa will study one page at a time through recitation, tajweed, meaning, and practical application.
  5. The congregation is urged to stay connected through family learning, mosque programs, and regular Quran engagement beyond Ramadan.
  6. The khutbah closes with prayers for forgiveness, Quran-centered families, and healing for the sick and mercy for the deceased.

For the dinner table

The khateeb reminded us that Ramadan is ending, but our relationship with the Quran should not end with it. He described four connected steps: reciting well, understanding the meaning, reflecting on Allah's message, and putting it into practice. He encouraged everyone to make a small, steady plan, including learning one or two Quranic words each week. TARIC plans a Thursday-night gathering after Maghrib to study one page at a time, with tajweed, meaning, and practical lessons. Families were encouraged to stay connected and make the Quran part of everyday life until the next Ramadan.
