“We should be together in the masjid, supporting the masjid, supporting each other, understanding each other, coming close to each other, helping each other.”

The khutbah argues that Ramadan’s spiritual discipline must continue year-round by confronting the lower self and Satan and carrying Ramadan’s habits into family life, prayer, fasting, and mosque involvement.

The khutbah in 6 steps

  1. Reflect on Ramadan’s blessings and reject post-Ramadan spiritual slowdown.
  2. Explain the lower self as an internal enemy through Quranic examples and prophetic supplication.
  3. Warn about Satan’s renewed temptations after Ramadan and emphasize sincerity.
  4. Carry Ramadan’s spirit into family relationships and tahajjud prayer.
  5. Sustain Fajr, Quran, Witr, Monday fasting, and congregational prayer.
  6. Maintain and support the mosque, followed by an invitation to discuss marriage in the community.

For the dinner table

Ramadan is over, but Allah is the Lord of Ramadan and every other time, so our worship and good character should continue. The khateeb warns us to watch the lower self and Satan, while using sincere worship and self-correction to resist them. He encourages families to share time and prayer, and he recommends tahajjud, Fajr, Quran, Witr, Monday fasting, and congregational prayer. He also reminds us to support and care for the mosque through money, effort, and service. Small, steady acts can help carry Ramadan’s forgiveness, togetherness, and devotion into ordinary weeks.

  1. What is one good Ramadan habit you want to keep this week?
  2. How can we make family time and prayer easier at home?
  3. Which small act, Fajr, Witr, Tahajjud, or Monday fasting, feels doable for you?
