For the dinner table

Ramadan may end, but our relationship with Allah should continue through every month. The khateeb says that continuing prayer, Quran reading, charity, and good character after Ramadan is a sign that Ramadan helped us grow. We should keep our eyes, ears, tongue, and behavior away from sin, while hoping Allah accepts and rewards our fasting and Quran. After Jumu'ah, each of us can choose a regular practice and keep it going.
