Ramadan should be approached with certainty, disciplined worship, adherence to the Prophetic tradition, and consistent engagement with the Quran.

For the dinner table

Ramadan is a month to approach with certainty that Allah rewards sincere fasting and night prayer. The khateeb encouraged us to follow the Prophet, the Companions, and the pious predecessors, and he explained his view that tarawih should be prayed as twenty rakahs. He reminded us that Ramadan is deeply connected to the Quran because it was revealed in this month. Even when we do not understand every word, reciting the Quran can purify and transform us, so we should keep reading, memorizing, and learning its meaning gradually. Our goal is to clear ourselves and gain as much benefit as possible from this beautiful month.
