For the dinner table

Today’s khutbah reminded us to share some of what Allah has given us while we have the opportunity. The khateeb described charity as a source of blessing in this life and shade on the Day of Resurrection. He encouraged us to care for people who are struggling, especially single parents, children, and orphans, and explained how helping others can soften our hearts. He also urged us to give from things we love, while reminding us that Allah is not asking us to give everything. We can begin with a small, regular act of generosity and ask Allah to accept it.

  1. The khateeb talked about helping struggling families; what is one way our family could help this week?
  2. What is something you treasure that you could share to make someone else happy?
  3. The khateeb encouraged giving every day; what could help you remember to be generous?
