Keep Ramadan worship alive all year
“Allah continues to shower upon us His blessings and His bounty despite our shortcomings, despite our disobedience.”
Gratitude for Allah’s mercy should lead believers to increase salawat on the Prophet and preserve Ramadan worship and discipline throughout the year.
The khutbah in 5 steps
- Celebrates Eid al-Fitr and Jumu'ah occurring together after Ramadan.

- Encourages abundant salawat on the Prophet, especially on Fridays.
- Connects salawat with developing good character.

In the khateeb's words
“And Allah continues to shower upon us His blessings and His bounty despite our shortcomings, despite our disobedience.”
“the person closest to me on the day of judgment is the one who sent the most salawat upon me.”
“You do not descend after the month of Ramadhan, you ascend.”
“One of the signs that your Ramadan was successful is what? That you continue with the actions that you started in the month of Ramadan.”
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.
