Use Ramadan’s final nights wisely

ICF

“After Iftar, sit down with the family, let's make a plan.”

The khateeb, at 24:20

Watch the khutbahFamily kit
In one sentence

Ramadan’s remaining nights, especially the last ten and Laylat al-Qadr, are a finite opportunity for worship, generosity, and sincere prayer before death, so believers should make a concrete plan now.

The khutbah in 6 steps

  1. Warns that Ramadan and life may end unexpectedly, urging urgency.
  2. Encourages Quran reading, feeding fasting people, welcoming reverts, and giving charity.
  3. Reframes the final ten nights as an extraordinary opportunity centered on Laylat al-Qadr.
  4. Presents increasingly ambitious worship plans involving congregational prayer, Tarawih, Tahajjud, Witr, and i'tikaf.
  5. Urges families to plan immediately, guard their speech and gaze, and make hopeful dua.
  6. Closes with supplications and congregational prayer.

For the dinner table

The khutbah reminds us that Ramadan may be our last, so the remaining days and nights are precious. We are encouraged to use them for Quran, feeding fasting people, welcoming reverts, giving charity, and extra prayer. The last ten nights deserve a clear family plan: congregational prayers, staying through Tarawih, Tahajjud, and i'tikaf when possible. We should also guard our tongues and eyes and make hopeful, sincere dua, asking Allah for even what feels impossible. The message is urgent but hopeful: there is still time to turn toward Allah and make the best of what remains.

  1. What is one way our family could make the remaining Ramadan nights more meaningful?
  2. Who could we invite or support for iftar this week?
  3. What is one sincere dua we would like to make during the last ten nights?
