Prayer & worshipFrom the masjid's own video, Mar 27, 2026.
Make Ramadan worship last all year
“Every single thing that we did on Ramadan, we can do outside of the month of Ramadan.”
In one sentence
The spiritual sweetness of Ramadan should become a foundation for consistent worship habits that continue throughout the year.
The khutbah in 6 steps
- Express gratitude for completing Ramadan, celebrating Eid, and attending Jumu'ah.
- Interpret post-Ramadan spiritual emptiness as evidence of attachment to worship.
- Explain how structure, community, and repeated practices made worship easier during Ramadan.
- Encourage small daily Quran and worship goals, continued fasting, and quickly resuming missed habits.
- Remind listeners that worship is for Allah, not Ramadan itself.
- Urge Friday prayers for Muslims facing hardship around the world.
Try this week
Make tahmeed and gratitude for completing Ramadan and Eid, and ask Allah to allow you to see the next Ramadan.
Identify which Ramadan practices brought spiritual sweetness and continue them outside Ramadan.
Maintain a structured daily wird, such as reading a few Quran pages after set prayers.
Fast six days in Shawwal, or spread six additional fasting days across the year.
If you missed a week of worship, resume immediately rather than allowing the break to continue.
Read Surat al-Kahf after Jumu'ah and continue your existing wird.
Make Friday dua for Muslims facing hardship in Palestine, Syria, Sudan, and elsewhere.
Silence phones or use airplane mode to keep the prayer sacred.

Quotes
In the khateeb's words
“It's because Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala put the noor of iman in our hearts.”
“Every single thing that we did on Ramadan, we can do outside of the month of Ramadan.”
“And that small habit that seemed something so tiny and insignificant to you, It was something amazing in the eyes of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, And it led to something bigger and better and better.”
“Leave this salat al-junga. Go home. Read surat khaif. Continue your wirud, whatever you are doing.”
Talk about it at home
For the dinner table
The khateeb reminds us to be grateful that Allah allowed us to complete Ramadan and celebrate Eid. Feeling spiritually empty after Ramadan can be a sign that we valued worship and miss its sweetness. The goal is to carry Ramadan forward through small, steady habits such as Quran reading, prayer, remembrance, and fasting. Missing a few days does not erase our progress, but we should return before the break becomes permanent. We should also use Friday to pray for Muslims facing hardship around the world.
- What Ramadan habit would you like to keep practicing this week?
- How can a small good deed become easier when we repeat it?
- Who could we remember in our Friday prayers besides ourselves?
