For the dinner table

The khateeb reminded us that after Ramadan, we should care for the good deeds we have done and ask Allah to help us continue. He encouraged us to guard our prayers and worship sincerely, without seeking praise from people. He warned us against hurting others or reminding them of our favors when we feel upset with them. He also called us to be faithful to Allah in private as well as in public, rather than living with double standards. Above all, he reminded us to stay humble, remember Allah’s mercy, and ask Him to preserve our deeds and keep us steadfast.

  1. What is one good habit from Ramadan you would like to keep, and how can we help you?
  2. What kindness could you do quietly without needing anyone to praise you?
  3. How can we handle feeling unappreciated after helping someone?
