Quotes
In the khateeb's words
“but yet most of us we continue living heedless lives not realizing how quickly our lives are going by and how quickly our death is approaching”
“this Ramadan for me is going to be a game changer this Ramadan for me is going to turn my life around”
“you break from that captivity and you turn to Allah and you arrive on the doorstep of Allah and you say Ya Allah I repent once and for all”
Talk about it at home
For the dinner table
Ramadan is coming soon, and the khutbah reminded us that life moves quickly and none of us is guaranteed another day. Allah gives us Ramadan as a special chance to return to Him, build taqwa, and multiply our good deeds. The story of two companions showed that living to another Ramadan can be a great blessing when we use it for worship. We should begin now by making a firm intention that this Ramadan will change us, not pass like the others. If we have sinned, we should repent, because Allah is pleased when His servants come back to Him.
