For the dinner table

The khateeb explained that four months, Dhul-Qa'dah, Dhul-Hijjah, Muharram, and Rajab, are sacred in Islam. These months are a time to be especially careful about sin, fighting, gossip, and injustice while increasing prayer, Qur'an, charity, and other good deeds. He reminded us that small acts done consistently matter, and that we should seek reconciliation instead of spreading rumors or harming people. He also asked the community to remember suffering people around the world in dua. If we have hurt someone, we should repent, ask Allah's forgiveness, and try to repair the relationship.
