In the khateeb's words

“That reading of the Quran that you're doing. That's going to be written down. So that when you're asked. What did you do with the word that I gave you. Did you take it for a petty price. Or did you actually learn it.”

For the dinner table

The khateeb reminded us that fasting is meant to grow taqwa: an awareness of Allah that shapes our actions, conduct, and treatment of others. During Ramadan’s last ten nights, he encouraged us to pray more, make sincere du'a, seek forgiveness, and reconnect with the Quran. He also asked us to guard our tongues and replace cursing, shouting, or hurtful words with remembrance of Allah. These Ramadan habits should continue after the month ends rather than passing away with it. Finally, he reminded us that believers still face trials during Ramadan, but we can remain patient, steadfast, and hopeful in Allah’s justice and guidance.
