For the dinner table

Today’s khutbah reminded us to keep Jannah in mind while making room for Allah in our everyday lives. The khateeb encouraged us to do good with humility, remembering that we need Allah’s forgiveness. He asked us to pause regularly and honestly reflect on how we spend our time and how we are growing. He described Jannah as a place of happiness without loneliness or sadness, giving us something beautiful to hope for. We can begin with small, steady acts of service, share our skills with the community, and practice kindness, forgiveness, and accepting the truth.
