In one sentence

Because Ramadan's remaining days and nights will testify for or against us, we should repent sincerely and intensify worship during the final odd nights, trusting Allah's mercy.

The khutbah in 6 steps

  1. Opens by describing Ramadan as a few counted days and urging reflection on its passage.
  2. Explains that times, places, the earth, and the Qur'an can testify for or against people on Judgment Day.
  3. Uses Fudayl ibn Iyad's admonition to stress accountability before Allah and improving one's ending.
  4. Emphasizes that repentance remains open and Allah forgives even grave sins.
  5. Identifies the remaining odd nights, the 25th, 27th, and 29th, and urges striving for Laylat al-Qadr.
  6. Calls for charity, prayer, Qur'an recitation, repentance, remembrance, and seeking forgiveness, followed by prayers for Palestine and Sudan.

For the dinner table

Ramadan is short, and its days will one day testify either for us or against us. Even if we fell short earlier, the door of repentance is still open and Allah's mercy is greater than our sins. The khutbah urges us to use the remaining odd nights, especially the 25th, 27th, and 29th, for extra prayer, Qur'an, charity, remembrance, and seeking forgiveness. We should finish Ramadan with sincere effort and hope in Allah.
