Ramadan renews taqwa through the Quran

“The month of Ramadan is the month of Quran.”

The khateeb, at 13:45

In one sentence

Ramadan’s true purpose is to develop taqwa through a renewed, intensive relationship with the Quran, which guides, revives, and ultimately intercedes for believers.

The khutbah in 5 steps

  1. Frames Ramadan as the month of the Quran and explains fasting’s goal of taqwa.
  2. Uses the companions and Imam Malik to encourage prioritizing Quran engagement.
  3. Challenges listeners to remove excuses by finding teachers, partners, or listening practices.
  4. Encourages struggling readers through the promise of doubled reward.
  5. Concludes that fasting and the Quran will intercede for believers, followed by prayers and salah.

For the dinner table

The khutbah reminded us that Ramadan is not only a month of avoiding food and drink; it is the month in which the Quran was revealed. Fasting is meant to grow taqwa, and the Quran is the guidance that helps our hearts and homes become brighter. The Prophet increased his recitation with Jibreel in Ramadan, so we were encouraged to read, listen to, or study the Quran with someone. Even when reading feels difficult, the effort is rewarded, so embarrassment or lack of understanding should not become an excuse. The khutbah closed by reminding us that fasting and the Quran can intercede for us, and by calling us back to Allah with hope.
