For the dinner table

The khateeb reminded us that our greatest success is pleasing Allah and reaching Jannah. He explained that our everyday efforts need commitment, dedication, determination, and a plan, and that the five daily prayers teach us to be consistent. Trusting Allah also means taking practical steps to care for ourselves and our families. He shared how the community raised the money for the masjid land despite discouraging comments, crediting Allah’s help and the community’s dedication. He also encouraged us to ask experienced people for advice and seek Allah’s guidance as we work toward our goals.

  1. What is one small commitment you want to keep this week, and what would help you keep it?
  2. What is a goal you could make a plan for while asking Allah for help?
  3. Who could teach you something you want to learn, and what would you ask them?
