For the dinner table

The khutbah focused on Surah Qaf and its reminders that Allah created everything, will resurrect us, and knows what we say and do. The imam encouraged everyone to study the surah and to listen to Qur'an recitation as a doorway to understanding, not just beautiful sound. He connected returning to the Qur'an and strengthening our masajid with preparing for Ramadan and helping a wounded Muslim community. He reminded us that Muslims should support one another like parts of one building, especially when people are suffering. This week, our family can study Surah Qaf together, plan a small Ramadan habit, and look for a way to support our mosque and community.

  1. What is one verse or idea from Surah Qaf you would like to understand better?
  2. What could our family do this week to return to the Qur'an together?
  3. How can we support someone in our community as parts of one building?
