Quotes
In the khateeb's words
“The end of Ramadan doesn't mean our journey is over. But our journey is just getting started.”
“The journey of a believer is not a cycle of these spiritual highs and then collapse. No. It's something that is meant to be continuous.”
“The best of deeds in the eyes of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala are deeds that a person stays consistent with even if they are not these huge, even if they are not huge drops or huge in quantity.”
“No one is going to ask you, how strong your iman was when you were young. The question will be, how did you finish?”
Talk about it at home
For the dinner table
Ramadan is ending, but our journey toward Allah is only beginning. We should not live only in memories of good Ramadan nights; we should keep moving forward with steady worship, even when our deeds are small. The khutbah reminds us to ask Allah to accept what we did, just as Ibrahim asked for acceptance while building the Ka'bah. Because we do not know how long we will live, we should finish Ramadan strongly and carry its spirit into the rest of our lives.
- What is one good Ramadan habit you would like to keep next week?
- Why can a small good deed become powerful when we repeat it?
- How can our family finish Ramadan strong together?
