Renew your intentions before Ramadan

SNMC · Hesham Alaghbari

“Make the intention for qiyam at night for salah for dua to give charity.”

The khateeb, at 17:49

In one sentence

As Ramadan approaches, Muslims should guard against Shaytan, rejoice in Allah’s mercy, renew sincere intentions for worship, and welcome the month with considerate conduct.

The khutbah in 6 steps

  1. The khutbah opens with taqwa, human unity, and honoring family ties.
  2. Imam Ahmad’s deathbed story illustrates the need for spiritual vigilance until death.
  3. Shaytan intensifies conflict before Ramadan, so listeners should focus on themselves and avoid unnecessary speech.
  4. Listeners are urged to renew intentions for fasting, prayer, charity, dua, and completing the Quran.
  5. The khutbah gives mosque etiquette guidance and asks worshippers to cooperate with volunteers.
  6. It closes with a tentative Ramadan date and a brief appeal to support a mosque-building project.

For the dinner table

The khutbah reminds us that Ramadan is a special time when Allah opens the way to mercy and good deeds. We should welcome it with joy while staying alert to Shaytan’s attempts to create arguments and distractions before the month begins. Each of us should renew our intentions for fasting, prayer, charity, dua, and reading the Quran, knowing that sincere intentions are rewarded. When we gather at the masjid, we should come peacefully, cleanly, and considerately so everyone can worship well. We can also support the building of a house of Allah and follow the masjid’s announcement for the official start of Ramadan.

  1. What good deed would you like to intend before Ramadan begins?
  2. How can our family make visits to the masjid easier and more welcoming for others?
  3. What helps you feel joyful and grateful when Ramadan arrives?
