In the khateeb's words
“the most beloved good deeds to Allah. Are those who are consistent. Even if they're little.”
“be a good Muslim and do what? Please. And thank you. Please. And thank you.”
“May Allah make our kids who are with us here. Years and years later, be the leaders of this masjid. Be the leaders of this society.”
For the dinner table
At the first anniversary of Kids Jumuah, the khateeb celebrated the children, parents, volunteers, and donors who made 54 weeks possible. He taught that Allah loves small good deeds done consistently, so returning to the masjid, listening, praying, and inviting family or friends can build a lasting connection. He reminded the children to show respect by sitting properly, listening quietly, cleaning up, and saying please and thank you. He ended by making dua that these children will grow into devoted Muslims and leaders who serve their masjid and society.

- How can you show good Muslim manners when someone helps you or when you are upset?
- What kind of leader would you like to become in your community?
