The khutbah argues that approaching Ramadan requires both personal worship and communal repair: Muslims must repent, live by Allah-given values, show mercy, help one another, and reject divisions that weaken their shared Muslim identity.

The khutbah in 6 steps

  1. Opens with the traditional Arabic khutbah introduction and a call to taqwa.
  2. Discusses current Canadian leadership, truth, power, and the danger of Muslim division.
  3. Introduces Ramadan as a season requiring spiritual preparation.
  4. Urges prayer, fasting, asking forgiveness, and repentance.

For the dinner table

The khateeb reminded us that Ramadan is approaching and that preparing for it means more than getting ready for the month itself. We should pray, fast, ask Allah for forgiveness, and turn back to Him sincerely. Our worship should shape how we treat people by helping us repair wrongs, show mercy, and support one another. Division and competing labels weaken Muslims, while shared faith and values give the community strength. We can welcome Ramadan by forgiving one another and choosing a concrete way to help someone else.

  1. What is one kind thing we can do for someone in our family before Ramadan?
  2. How can we show that being Muslim brings us together, even when people have different backgrounds?
  3. Which worship habit, prayer, fasting, or asking forgiveness, would you like to strengthen first?
