Use Ramadan’s final nights to deepen taqwa
“Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is a God that will right wrongs.”
Muslims should use Ramadan's final ten nights to deepen taqwa through prayer, Quran, dua, remembrance, and disciplined speech while trusting Allah through hardship.
The khutbah in 6 steps
- The khateeb acknowledges Ramadan's fatigue and calls listeners to beautiful patience and taqwa.
- He urges intensified worship, dua, Quran reading, and family devotion during the last ten nights.
- He emphasizes guarding the tongue and carrying Ramadan's habits throughout the year.
- He explains that Ramadan includes trials, recalling Badr and other examples of divine aid.
- He encourages confidence in Allah's justice, resistance to discouragement, and service through good character.
- He closes by asking Allah to accept the fasts and make the remainder of Ramadan easy.
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.”
“Allah is a God of justice. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is a God that will right wrongs. So you don't fret. Don't you fear. Do not fear.”
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.
