Remembering Allah (dhikr) is an easy, always-available act of worship that brings tranquility, revives the heart, strengthens obedience, and should be increased throughout Ramadan.

The khutbah in 6 steps

  1. Opens with standard khutbah exhortations to taqwa and blessings upon the Prophet.
  2. Encourages Friday salawat and reliance on Allah’s mercy and guidance.
  3. Presents dhikr as an accessible act possible in every posture and circumstance.
  4. Explains that dhikr brings tranquility, revives the heart, and supports moral self-control.
  5. Cites the rewards of dhikr, including charity-like merit and weight in the scales.
  6. Closes with prayers for oppressed communities, moral exhortation, and a brief Ramadan appeal to support the mosque.

For the dinner table

Today’s khutbah taught that remembering Allah, or dhikr, is one of the easiest and most powerful acts of worship. We can make dhikr while standing, sitting, lying down, driving, and during ordinary life, so it is available almost anywhere. The imam explained that dhikr gives the heart peace and keeps it alive, helping improve our actions and character. In Ramadan, we should increase simple phrases of praise, pray for people suffering in Gaza and elsewhere, and support the mosque as we are able.

  1. When during your day could you remember Allah more often?
  2. Which dhikr phrase helps you feel grateful or calm?
  3. How might a healthier heart change the way we treat other people?
