For the dinner table

The khateeb reminded us that Ramadan is a chance to renew our faith and grow closer to Allah, even though its familiar acts of worship return each year. He encouraged us to refresh our intentions, set new goals, and find new meaning in fasting, suhur, iftar, and prayer. We can deepen our connection with the Quran through reading, listening, and studying its meaning. He also asked us to welcome others, learn about their Ramadan experiences, and strengthen our family and community bonds. As Ramadan unfolds, we should check our progress early, make adjustments, seek Allah’s forgiveness, and work toward forgiving others.

  1. What is one Ramadan goal you would feel excited to work on this year?
  2. How could our family make suhur or iftar more meaningful together?
  3. What would you like to ask someone whose family celebrates Ramadan differently from ours?
