Ramadan trains us for lasting worship

ICF · Hani Abu Nasser

“The month of Ramadan is a school in itself.”

The khateeb, at 5:23

Watch the khutbahFamily kit
In one sentence

Ramadan is a school that trains believers in taqwa, self-control, time stewardship, and consistent worship that should continue after Ramadan.

The khutbah in 6 steps

  1. Ramadan is presented as a school cultivating taqwa and watchfulness over one's actions.
  2. The khutbah urges listeners to value time, youth, health, and opportunities for worship.
  3. Fasting demonstrates that believers can restrain even lawful desires and discipline themselves.
  4. Listeners are urged to control their tongues, eyes, and ears from sinful use.
  5. The worship habits of Ramadan should continue beyond the month, especially prayer, remembrance, night worship, and Qur'an reading.
  6. During the last ten nights, believers should work harder, seek forgiveness and Paradise, renew their covenant with Allah, and remember life's brevity.

For the dinner table

Brother Hani Abu Nasser described Ramadan as a school that teaches us taqwa, obedience, and awareness of what pleases Allah. Fasting shows that we can change our routines, restrain even lawful desires, and guard our tongues, eyes, and ears. When Ramadan ends, we should continue praying, making du'a, remembering Allah, reading Qur'an, and standing in night prayer. During the last ten nights, we should work harder, ask Allah for forgiveness and Jannah, and renew our commitment before life passes.
