Keep Ramadan worship alive all year

Al Falah Institute

“Just because the month of Ramadan is over, it doesn't mean that the actions that we did in the month of Ramadan should also cease to exist.”

The khateeb, at 2:20

In one sentence

The spiritual discipline and Quran-centered habits cultivated in Ramadan should continue throughout the year through learning, practice, and teaching others.

The khutbah in 7 steps

  1. Ramadan worship should continue after Shawwal begins, especially Quran engagement and good deeds.
  2. Listeners should improve Quran recitation, learn its meaning, act upon it, and continue supplementary worship such as six fasts in Shawwal.
  3. Lasting reward comes through ongoing charity, beneficial knowledge, and righteous children, so meaningful work must begin now.
  4. Stories of Ibn Mas'ud and Ibn Abbas show how young people can grow through love, humility, and devoted learning.
  5. Parents should nurture children's love of the Prophet, his family, and the Quran through regular study and storytelling.
  6. A friend's restored Quran memorization illustrates the danger of neglect and the intergenerational impact of teaching.
  7. The sermon closes with supplication and pandemic safety instructions for masks, personal prayer mats, and home wudu.

For the dinner table

The khutbah reminded us that our worship and good habits should not end when Ramadan ends. We can spend the coming year strengthening our relationship with the Quran by reciting it, understanding it, and living by it. The khateeb encouraged us to use the abilities and opportunities Allah has already given us instead of always waiting to feel ready. He also taught that beneficial knowledge, ongoing charity, and people who pray for us can continue helping us after death. As a family, we can grow in love for the Prophet, his family, and the Quran while helping one another stay close to Allah.

  1. What is one Ramadan habit you would like our family to keep doing?
  2. What ability or opportunity has Allah already given you that you could use for good?
  3. What is one helpful thing you hope people will remember you for?
