  2. Encourage intensified worship, especially seeking Laylat al-Qadr, while following the Prophet’s example.
  3. Emphasize that daytime Ramadan and small acts of kindness remain valuable.
  4. Advise sustainable, regular worship instead of exhausting oneself early.
  5. Use the people of A'raf to illustrate regret over missed opportunities.

For the dinner table

The khateeb encouraged us to make the most of Ramadan’s last ten nights while remembering that the daytime hours are precious too. Alongside prayer, Qur’an, and dua, small acts of goodness matter to Allah. A gentle expression, a kind word, or helping someone prepare iftar can be opportunities to do good even when we are tired. He also reminded us to follow the Prophet’s example in little choices, such as how we break our fast. We should choose worship we can keep doing regularly and use the opportunities Allah gives us before Ramadan ends.

  3. What small act of worship would you like to practice regularly?
