For the dinner table

Ramadan gave us worship, Qur’an, shared meals, and renewed community ties. The khateeb reminded us that faith is not only a Ramadan feeling: we should stay firm, keep coming to the masjid, and continue caring for people around us. Shaytan’s temptations return, so we should make a simple plan and write down the good habits we want to keep. We can carry Ramadan forward by being patient, welcoming others, and sustaining deeds for Allah.
