For the dinner table

Allah has given us enormous mercy, including the blessings of Ramadan and the chance to gather for Eid and Jumu'ah. The speaker encouraged us to fill our tongues with salawat upon the Prophet and explained that this practice can help improve our character. Ramadan should be a beginning, not a finish line. We can keep reading Quran, praying at night, fasting, remembering Allah, guarding our eyes, and avoiding wasted time. Continuing these actions is a sign that our Ramadan was accepted.
