For the dinner table

The khateeb reminded us that this life is temporary and that we were created to worship Allah. He encouraged everyone to review the day before sleeping, repair mistakes, and apologize when necessary. He also reminded parents that children learn from what they see, so our honesty and worship should match our advice. Faith is a family responsibility, and we should help one another prepare for meeting Allah.
