In one sentence

Ramadan should be used not only to fast from food and drink but also to break free from phone-driven digital distractions that weaken attention and worship.

The khutbah in 6 steps

  1. Introduces Ramadan's blessings and virtues through Quran and hadith.
  2. Uses the Sabbath-fishermen story to frame Shaytan's deceptive net.
  3. Identifies smartphones, the internet, and short-form videos as today's net.
  4. Explains the claimed cognitive, emotional, and spiritual harms of reels.
  5. Challenges listeners to delete Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube for Ramadan.
  6. Closes with Quranic supplications, prayers, and community announcements.

For the dinner table

Ramadan is a blessed month for fasting, prayer, patience, generosity, and drawing closer to Allah. The khateeb warned that phones and short videos can become a net that steals our attention and weakens our ability to worship. He challenged us to delete Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube for 30 days and regain control of our habits. We can still use technology as a tool, while joining community iftars and Taraweeh to strengthen our Ramadan together.

  3. How can our family help one another stay focused during Ramadan?
