For the dinner table

The khutbah encourages us to keep the Quran close after the special days of Dhul Hijjah have passed. The goal is not occasional reading only during Ramadan, sadness, or hardship, but a steady relationship throughout life. Even small practices, such as a page a day or a few verses after Fajr, can change our hearts and families. The speaker reminds us that struggling to recite is not a reason to stop, because sincere effort is rewarded. He asks families to make the Quran part of their homes, routines, decisions, and return to Allah.
