Ramadan should shape the whole year

Al-Huda, Al-Huda · Adam Algahmie

“The journey to Allah does not end with Ramadan; it begins with Ramadan.”

The khateeb, at 5:53

Watch the khutbahFamily kit
In one sentence

Ramadan should launch a year-round pattern of worship, especially prayer, Quran, fasting, charity, seeking acceptance, and maintaining kinship, rather than end religious commitment.

The khutbah in 6 steps

  1. Frames the central question of what should follow Ramadan and argues that worship must continue until death.
  2. Urges consistent prayer, Quran reading, fasting six days of Shawwal, and voluntary fasting.
  3. Emphasizes the importance of maintaining the five daily prayers and continuing charity.
  4. Encourages steadfastness and seeking Allah’s acceptance throughout the year.
  5. Calls for maintaining family ties even when relatives respond badly.
  6. Concludes with jurisprudential guidance about combining intentions and the order of voluntary and missed fasts.
Try this week
Continue the five daily prayers, preferably in congregation.
Read at least one Quran verse or half a page every day.

Ask Allah for steadfastness and acceptance of Ramadan deeds.

Seek qualified guidance about combining intentions and ordering missed and voluntary fasts.

For the dinner table

Ramadan is not the end of our worship; it should help us build habits that continue through the year. The sermon encourages us to keep praying, read some Quran every day, fast six days in Shawwal, and continue giving charity, even if the amount is small. We should ask Allah to accept our Ramadan and help us remain steadfast. We should also keep family ties, responding to hurt with patience and kindness rather than returning harm. The goal is a steady relationship with Allah until the end of life.

  1. What is one good deed you can keep doing every day?
  2. How can we show kindness to family even when someone is unkind to us?
  3. What is one Ramadan habit you want to carry into Shawwal?
