In one sentence

The Qur’an is Allah’s enduring message delivered through the Prophet Muhammad, so Muslims should cherish it as a personal letter and make daily engagement with it central to their homes and children’s faith.

The khutbah in 5 steps

  1. Ramadan reveals believers’ minimum capacity for worship, so its habits should continue afterward.
  2. The Qur’an should be treated as a precious letter from Allah delivered through the Prophet.
  3. Neglecting the Qur’an leaves individuals and families vulnerable to changing social pressures across generations.
  4. Listeners are urged to read, listen to, and repeatedly reflect on the Qur’an while reducing distractions.
  5. The khutbah closes with supplications for Quranic love, guidance, family strength, and communal unity.

For the dinner table

Ramadan showed us that we can do more for Allah than we often think, so its habits should continue after the month ends. The khateeb asked us to treat the Qur’an like a precious letter from Allah, delivered through the Prophet, reading it slowly, repeatedly, and with love. We should remove distractions, make regular time to read or listen, and let the Qur’an become visible in our homes so our children learn from our example. A small shared practice, such as reading a verse, listening together, or reading a translation, can help make the Qur’an a lifelong family companion.

  1. What helps you pay attention when you read or listen to the Qur’an?
  2. How could our home make the Qur’an easier for everyone to remember and use?
