For the dinner table

The khateeb reminded us that taqwa means keeping Allah in our hearts and minds and living with awareness of Him. Eid celebrates completing Ramadan, but sincere deeds for Allah can outlast the temporary things we love. He encouraged us to fast six days of Shawwal and keep strengthening our prayer, masjid involvement, and connection with Allah. Ramadan may be over, but our worship and hope in Allah should continue.
