Ramadan & fastingFrom the masjid's own video, Sep 3, 2025.
Treat this Ramadan as your last
“We don't want to be among those who regret towards the end of Ramadan.”
In one sentence
Because Ramadan may be our last and its rewards are immense, believers should urgently seek forgiveness and taqwa through sincere worship and a daily relationship with the Quran.

Talk about it at home
For the dinner table
Ramadan is passing quickly, and none of us knows whether this will be our last one. The khutbah encourages us to use these days to seek Allah’s forgiveness and grow in taqwa, or piety, through sincere fasting, prayer, and hope for reward. Ramadan and Laylatul Qadr are special because the Quran was revealed in them, so our central work should be making a daily connection with the Quran. Even a planned, regular time with the Quran can become a relationship that changes us.
