Keep Ramadan’s worship alive
“If it's done consistently, it is large in the eyes of Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala.”
Muslims should preserve Ramadan’s spiritual gains through mercy, humility, consistent worship, attachment to the masjid, and six days of Shawwal fasting.
The khutbah in 6 steps
- The Prophet’s mercy and humility transformed former enemies and reflected Islam’s message of peace.
- Muslims are urged to restore compassion, humility, and love in their communities.
- Post-Ramadan worship should not unravel; small sincere deeds should continue consistently.
- Weakening iman should prompt greater attachment to the masjid and regular prayer.
- Listeners should become Rabbani Muslims rather than practicing only during Ramadan.
- The khutbah closes by urging six days of Shawwal fasting and continued guidance.
In the khateeb's words
“Looking at the compassion And looking at the love Of the Prophet Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam Is what should be instilled In our hearts Towards everyone around us”
“Even if it's little But if it's done consistently It is large In the eyes of Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala”
“This is the time We should attach ourselves Our hearts to the masajid This is the time We should connect our souls To Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala”
“do not become A-Ramadhani muslim Become A-Rabbani What's a Rabbani? A person who is attached To Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala Not for the sake of Ramadan only”
For the dinner table
The khateeb reminded us that the Prophet showed mercy, compassion, and humility, and encouraged us to bring those qualities into our relationships. Even saying salam is a way of wishing peace for another person. He urged us to keep the good habits we built in Ramadan, explaining that small deeds done consistently matter greatly to Allah. When our faith feels weaker, he encouraged us to care for our hearts and strengthen our connection to the masjid. He also warned against letting worldly concerns take over our hearts and encouraged fasting six days of Shawwal.
- How could you make someone feel the peace you wish them when you say salam?
- What small good habit from Ramadan would you like us to keep doing together?
- What helps you feel connected to Allah when you feel distracted?
