Prepare now for your last Ramadan
“Make it three or four or five.”
Because Ramadan is a limited, merciful opportunity for forgiveness and salvation, Muslims should prepare now, treat it as their last, and spend it seriously in dua, Quran, and family worship rather than social distractions.
The khutbah in 5 steps
- Urges worshippers to join the first rows and listen attentively.
- Presents Ramadan as Allah’s mercy and a season of forgiveness requiring preparation.
- Encourages treating Ramadan and prayer as potentially final opportunities.
- Criticizes elaborate iftar parties and wasted time during Ramadan.
- Calls families to plan worship, increase Quran reading, and practice zikr together.
In the khateeb's words
“Develop this habit To ask from Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala Long duas Sit down In a corner No show business”
“If you are finishing One or two Qur'ans No increase it Make it three or four Or five”
For the dinner table
The khateeb reminded us that Ramadan is a special, limited season in which Allah offers mercy and forgiveness. He encouraged us to prepare mentally and physically and to live as though this could be our last Ramadan. He asked families to make worship plans together, including private dua, zikr, and a Quran-completion target. He warned against letting elaborate iftar parties, entertainment, or idle talk consume the month. The goal is a more serious, focused Ramadan that helps the whole household grow closer to Allah.
