For the dinner table

The khutbah reminded us that Eid is a joyful celebration after Ramadan, and children should feel that happiness through the time and care we give them. It also encouraged us to keep the good habits we built, even if that means reading just a little Quran each day. Our prayers and good deeds should continue throughout the year. Making time to gather as a family helps parents and children understand each other and grow closer. Children learn from what adults do, so showing our love for Islam through our own actions matters alongside what we teach.
