Because time passes quickly and life is made of deeds, believers should fill every moment with worship, righteousness, patience, and mutual encouragement so Allah blesses their lives.

The khutbah in 5 steps

  1. Eid and Ramadan remind believers how quickly time passes.
  2. Life is measured by concrete deeds rather than abstract time.
  3. Health and free time should be used for worship rather than sin and distraction.
  4. Believers should continue Ramadan's momentum through worship and six days of Shawwal fasting.
  5. Muslims should encourage one another toward goodness and enjoy Eid with their families.

For the dinner table

The khateeb reminded us on Eid that Ramadan seemed to pass in a moment, and our whole life is made from moments like these. Time becomes valuable when we fill it with prayer, fasting, charity, truth, kindness, and remembrance of Allah. We should protect our free time from lying, backbiting, slander, and other disobedience, while patiently encouraging one another toward goodness. The sermon encouraged us to continue after Ramadan, including fasting six days of Shawwal, because Allah can place great blessing in sincere worship. Eid is also a day to enjoy with our children and share joy, love, and generosity.
