For the dinner table

The khutbah reminds us that Ramadan may be ending, but every act of worship remains recorded with Allah. Fasting and night prayer help us grow in awareness of Him. We should carry Ramadan’s spirit outward by serving one another and making the world around us better through good works. Families should also pay zakat al-fitr, with the speaker suggesting $10 per person through ISNP. We should finish the month with gratitude, glorify Allah for His guidance, and hope for His acceptance.
