Talk about it at home
For the dinner table
Ramadan is coming, and the khutbah asks us to welcome it with patience, peace, generosity, and regular Qur'an reading. We should ask Allah to forgive our mistakes and to let us reach the month, remembering that some people who shared the previous Ramadan are no longer here. We can prepare by protecting our prayers, giving sadaqah, and returning to the habits of faithful believers. The message is for every kind of Muslim, so families can enter Ramadan together with gratitude and care.
