Ramadan calls us back to the Quran

Masjid Ar-Rahman

“It will change your life for the better.”

The khateeb, at 2:22

Watch the khutbahFamily kit
In one sentence

During Ramadan, Muslims should renew their relationship with the Quran because its divinely revealed and preserved guidance transforms lives, distinguishes truth from falsehood, settles disputes, and must be recited, understood, and practiced.

The khutbah in 6 steps

  1. Introduces Ramadan as the month of the Quran and presents its power to transform individuals and societies.
  2. Explains that the Quran guides those who are mindful of Allah, then introduces five names as keys to understanding it.
  3. Explores Al-Quran as recitation, urging slow, clear, audible, and reflective reading.
  4. Explores Al-Kitab as the written, preserved scripture and connects it with literacy and learning.
  5. Explores Al-Furqan as the criterion distinguishing truth from falsehood and providing stable moral guidance.
  6. Explores Al-Tanzil and Al-Dhikr as divine revelation and a reminder, urging Muslims to use the Quran in disputes and daily life.

For the dinner table

Ramadan is the month of the Qur’an, and the khateeb encouraged us to renew our relationship with it. The Qur’an is not only a book to read at special times; it is Allah’s message, and sincerely embracing it can transform our lives. We were reminded to recite it with tartil, slowly, clearly, and with attention, so its words reach both our ears and hearts. Its names teach us that it guides, is preserved, distinguishes truth from falsehood, comes from Allah, and reminds us of the good our fitrah already recognizes. May our family recite, understand, reflect on, and live by the Qur’an throughout Ramadan.

  1. What is one small change you hope the Qur’an helps you make this Ramadan?
  2. How does reciting slowly and clearly feel different from rushing?
  3. When could our family use the Qur’an to help us handle a disagreement?
