For the dinner table

The khutbah reminds us that this world is a temporary journey, and every day brings us closer to meeting Allah. That meeting can be a glad tiding for believers who prepare through faith, prayer, fasting, Qur'an, good deeds, and obedience. The speaker used the Prophet’s final moments and examples from the Companions to show that love of Allah can make the next life more important than worldly comfort. He also warned that being absorbed in worldly pleasures and sinful earnings can make a person forget the meeting. As Ramadan approaches, we are encouraged to renew our worship and ask Allah for a good ending and the joy of seeing Him.
