Prayer & worshipFrom the masjid's own video, Jul 3, 2026.
Keep good deeds going after Eid
“Commitment to what you learn is what Allah loves.”
In one sentence
After spiritually significant days end, believers should remain steadfast by continuing small acts of worship and goodness, because Allah loves consistent deeds and may show acceptance by guiding someone to persist in good until death.

Talk about it at home
For the dinner table
The sermon reminds us that worship should not stop when special days like Hajj, Arafah, or Eid are over. Allah loves deeds that continue, even when they are small. The speaker encourages us to choose a few practices we can maintain, such as bedtime remembrance, voluntary prayers, or Ayat al-Kursi after prayer. Continuing a good deed may be a sign that Allah is guiding and accepting us.
- What is one small good deed you could keep doing every day?
- Which bedtime remembrance or prayer practice would you like to learn or maintain?
- How can our family help one another stay consistent?
Keep listening
