For the dinner table

The khutbah teaches that ihsan means doing everything with excellence because Allah sees us, even when other people do not. Worship includes prayer and fasting, but it also includes caring for family, helping the needy, and treating neighbors well. The speaker reminds us to give generously even when money is tight, because charity is for Allah’s sake. When we make mistakes, we should follow them with good deeds and ask Allah to forgive us. Ihsan should shape our homes, our work, our worship, and our relationships with everyone around us.
