Talk about it at home
For the dinner table
Brother Hany reminded us that Ramadan may be over, but our worship and growth can continue. He explained that following one good deed with another is a sign of its acceptance. Small acts of worship done regularly are beloved to Allah and nourish our hearts, like drops of water that slowly change a rock. We can keep making time for the Quran, prayer, charity, and good manners even when our routine is less intense than during Ramadan. He also urged us to protect what we worked for by avoiding the bad habits and sins we left behind.
- When is a good time for our family to read or listen to the Quran regularly?
- What could you say or do this week to show the good manners you practiced while fasting?
