For the dinner table

Ramadan is a precious gift because Allah has allowed us to reach it, and fasting is meant to bring forgiveness and closeness to Allah. The khutbah says fasting trains patience and self-control while reminding us that we will return to Allah. Parents, relatives, and mosques should help children love Ramadan through kindness, welcoming programs, and patient guidance at Tarawih. We should also hold the suffering of Gaza and other communities in our hearts, praying sincerely for peace and relief. The khateeb asked people to sign a card or send a quick email to the Canadian immigration minister in support of 130 Gaza graduate students seeking to continue their studies in Canada.
