For the dinner table
The khateeb reminded us that Ramadan should not be left behind when the month ends. He described the Quran as our foundation and encouraged us to read it regularly, understand it, and live by its principles. He taught that Allah loves deeds done consistently, even when they are small, so one page or one verse can matter. He also urged us to follow mistakes with good deeds, treat people kindly, ask Allah for forgiveness, and keep our commitments. The khutbah closed with prayers for peace, the sick, and those who have died.
