In the khateeb's words
“Do you own anything of your money Except what you eat and consume Or what you wear and you wear out Or what only you give like sadaqa”

Talk about it at home
For the dinner table
The khateeb reminds us that the Quran is a blessed book that guides our lives and calls us to keep our prayers. He warns us to be careful about claiming that Allah said something when He did not. He explains that we will return to Allah individually, leaving our possessions behind, while the charity we give is something we send ahead. He invites us to notice Allah’s signs in the stars, growing seeds, and fruits with different colors and tastes. Together, we can make time for prayer, share what we have, and thank Allah for the gifts around us.
