The remaining nights of Ramadan, especially the possible Laylat al-Qadr, are a golden opportunity to reconnect with the Quran through sincere worship and dua, then carry its guidance throughout the year.

The khutbah in 6 steps

  1. Review how Ramadan has shaped prayer, Quran reading, dua, and daily life.
  2. Use the remaining days and nights to recover missed opportunities.
  3. Watch for Laylat al-Qadr on the remaining odd nights.
  4. Study Surah al-Qadr and appreciate the Quran and Laylat al-Qadr as divine gifts.
  5. Prioritize Quran and worship over worldly distractions such as status, money, and work.
  6. Spend the night in prayer, Quran reading, and dua for oneself, family, community, and Muslims worldwide.

For the dinner table

Ramadan is almost over, so we should honestly review how much we prayed, read Quran, made dua, and brought faith into daily life. The khateeb reminded us that the remaining nights may include Laylat al-Qadr, a night of extraordinary value and mercy. He encouraged us to welcome these nights with sincere intention, Quran, prayer, and broad duas for ourselves, our families, our community, and Muslims everywhere. He also warned that work, money, status, and other worldly concerns can pull us away from the Quran. The goal is to leave Ramadan equipped to live by its guidance throughout the rest of the year.

  3. What might help you make time for Quran when life gets busy?
