Prayer & worshipFrom the masjid's own video, Apr 30, 2022.
Ramadan should prepare us for year round worship
“Ramadan comes and goes but Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is there every single day.”
In one sentence
Ramadan is a temporary training station whose true success is shown by continuing sincere worship and good character throughout the year.
The khutbah in 5 steps
- Recites Quranic reminders about taqwa, accountability, mortality, and preparing for the Hereafter.
- Reflects on Ramadan's departure and the temporary nature of worldly life.
- Urges worshippers to treat Ramadan as training rather than the only season of devotion.
- Calls for maintaining daily prayers, Quran reading, charity, good manners, and night prayer after Ramadan.
- Uses prophetic guidance and the image of unraveling yarn to emphasize consistent deeds and avoiding spiritual relapse.
Try this week
Maintain the five daily prayers after Ramadan, especially attending Fajr, Isha, and Maghrib in the mosque.
Continue night prayer after Ramadan, even if only two rak'ahs, after Isha or during the last part of the night.
Continue Quran reading, charity, repentance, and good manners beyond Ramadan, reducing the amount if necessary rather than stopping.
Build a sustainable year-round worship routine based on small, consistent deeds.
Quotes
In the khateeb's words
“we worship Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala the whole year because as we said before Ramadan comes and goes but Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is there every single day He's with us and you have to be with Him”
“Ramadan it's only a station it's only an occasion it's only a chance for you that Allah Azza wa Jalla has given us to reflect upon and to train ourselves to be a good Muslims”
“so the most beloved deeds to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala are the deeds the constant deeds that you are doing it continuously”
Talk about it at home
For the dinner table
Ramadan is a precious training season, but it is not the only time we worship Allah. The khateeb reminded us that life in this world is temporary and that our lasting home is in the Hereafter. We should carry Ramadan's prayer, Quran reading, charity, repentance, and good manners into the rest of the year. If we cannot keep the same amount, we can do less without abandoning our habits, such as praying two rak'ahs at night. The goal is steady, sincere deeds that continue day after day.
- What is one small act of worship you could keep doing after Ramadan?
- How could our family make space for two rak'ahs of night prayer?
- What Ramadan habit helped us become more grateful or kind?
