Keep Ramadan's worship alive after Eid
“Your deeds post Ramadan will tell you if your Ramadan was accepted.”
Ramadan's farewell should be marked by seeking Allah's forgiveness and proving its acceptance through consistent worship, while carrying Eid's joy and generosity into family life.
The khutbah in 6 steps
- Celebrates Ramadan's community impact through a brother who completed the Quran after 20 years.
- Frames farewell as gratitude to Allah and prayer for Muslims who were absent or martyred.
- Calls for istighfar and istimrar, using post-Ramadan deeds as signs of acceptance.
- Grounds continuity in Quranic descriptions of believers and urges preserving prayer, Quran, and masjid habits.
- Uses an Eid hadith to encourage generous, joyful celebrations for families and children.
- Closes with prayers for firm salah, Firdaus, oppressed Muslims, and the Eid prayer.
In the khateeb's words
“Your deeds post Ramadan Will tell you If your Ramadan was accepted”
“All this month of Ramadan We trained ourselves to pray tarawih We trained ourselves to pray qiyamun layl We trained ourselves to pray witar Don't leave it now ya jama'ah”
“Make Eid special for your children Make Eid special for your wives Make Eid special for your home Because these are our celebrations”
“This is the time where you need to be very very generous with them Let them know the beauty of Eid”
For the dinner table
The khateeb teaches that we should say goodbye to Ramadan by thanking Allah, asking forgiveness, and hoping our worship was accepted. He says the best sign of acceptance is istimrar, continuing good habits after Ramadan through salah, Quran, the masjid, and other worship. He reminds us to ask Allah to keep our hearts firm and to aim for Firdaus. On Eid, he encourages families to celebrate generously and visibly, with gifts, treats, smiles, and time together, so children feel the beauty of Islam. He also asks Allah to remember Muslims who were killed or oppressed and to grant them relief and Jannah.
