Continuity after Ramadan
First Khutbah

Verily, all praise is for Allah. We praise Him, we seek His assistance and we
ask for His forgiveness. And we seek refuge in Him from the evils of our
selves. Whoever Allah guides, none can misguide. Whoever He misguides,
none can guide. And I bear witness that there is no deity other than Allah
and I bear witness that Mohammad is His servant and messenger.

[102:‫عمران‬
Al Imran(3) 102 : O you who believe! Fear Allah as He should be feared,
and die not except in a state of Islam.
Oh Believers:
All praise is due to Allah the All-Mighty, the Compeller. The All-Powerful,
Prevailing. He alternates the night and day. And everything with Him is by
due measure. He created the sun and the moon to follow their precise
courses. And He made time periods containers for the deeds. We praise
Him for his blessings and favors. And we are grateful for His bestowals and
beneficence. He created His servants and tested them. And He elevated
and dignified them through His religion. And on the Day of Judgement He
will judge and recompense them. Allah Almighty commanded His servant
and messenger not to finish an act of worship until he ‫ ﷺ‬engaged with

https://www.khutbah.info/ 1
Khutbah.info
another one. Such that he ‫ ﷺ‬immersed himself in the worship of Allah
Almighty all his life.
َ َّ َ
ْ‫ك فَاْرَغب‬ ْ َ َ ْ ََ َ َ ْ َّ ‫ال‬8
‫ رِب‬rq * ‫ فإ ِذا فرغت فانصب‬- -7 :‫شَح‬
ْ َ
Ash-Sharh (94) 7-8: (7) So when you have finished [your duties], then
stand up [for worship]. (8) And to your Lord direct [your] longing.
So he ‫ ﷺ‬obeyed the command of Allah Almighty. And he ‫ ﷺ‬devoted
himself to His worship.
So be conscious of Allah Almighty and obey Him. And persist in
performing righteous deeds. For the dearest deeds to Allah Almighty are
those done consistently, even if they are few. And beware of abandoning
deeds after Ramadan. For a person does not know when his term will
finish. And what a good conclusion it is for the one who concludes with a
righteous deed that he consistently performed. And how bad it is to
abandon a good deed after having performed it.
Islam is distinguished from other religions in terms of application and
deeds in that it is a religion with a constant connection with the individual;
that does not go away once a ritual finishes. Or disappear at the end of a
period of great worship. Rather Islam continues to accompany an
individual at all times and all places. In the home, market, work and every
place. And in Shaban, Ramadan and Shawwal and every time.
This religion continues to connect a person with their Lord. To elevate him
to the highest realm. And it transcends him from the lowness of this world.
And this bounty does not appear except to the believer who constantly
adheres to Islam both outwardly and inwardly.
Whereas if you look at other religions, you will find that their rites are just
rituals that they perform at the time. And customs that they are familiar
with. It is nothing more than a false gratification of the heart. It does not
connect a person to his Creator. And there is no genuine happiness and
tranquility.
Hence, in Islam there is continual servitude to Allah. It stays with a person
from the age of accountability until the grave. His connection with Allah

https://www.khutbah.info/ 2
Khutbah.info
Almighty does not go away except if he deviates and strays from the
straight path.
Ramadan during the days passed permeated our ears and eyes. We lived it
day by day and night by night. And it finished with what people accrued of
deeds. Therefore, there were… those who did good and those who fell
short… those who did much and those who did little… those who were
accepted and those who were rejected. And tomorrow there will be
accounting and the doers will be recompensed.
Ramadan is like a warehouse full of faith and reverence of Allah. And
people take from it their supply for the whole year. So there are those who
take a full share from it. And there are those who watch the people taking
and do nothing more than watch.
In Ramadan, people repented from their mistakes. And they promised
Allah Almighty that they will not return to disobedience after having tasted
the sweetness of turning to Allah Almighty, repentance, submission to
Allah Almighty, supplication and reciting the Quran.
In Ramadan, worshipers consistently attended the congregational prayers
and sought the first row. And they did not miss the first takbir (the start) of
the prayer. So they resolved that they would continue doing so for their
whole life. And going early to the prayer has a sweetness only known to
those who have tasted it.
And in Ramadan, many people knew the value of the Quran that they
forsake throughout the year. They listened to its verses during the night
and recited it during the day. And they found in the Quran the best
companion: that awakened their heart, motivated them to do deeds that
benefit them and refrain from what harms them.
They found in it a warning from sins they had adopted. So they pledged to
their Lord that they would leave them. And they read in it a great reward
for righteous deeds that they had neglected. So they resolved to
safeguard them.
They learned from the Quran what they did not know. And it alerted them
to what they were inattentive of. So they regretted the years that passed

https://www.khutbah.info/ 3
Khutbah.info
when they abandoned this great book. And they determined to recite a
set amount daily and not leave it no matter what.
In Ramadan, displays of kindness abounded through meals provided to
fasting people. And sensing the needs of the needy. And offering the
obligatory Zakat and following it with voluntary charity. And the fasting
person felt the hunger of his poor brothers. And knew their needs. And
tasted the great sweetness of performing acts of kindness towards them
and introducing joy to them, their families and children. So his own joy
increased through giving more charity and performing more acts of
kindness. And at the time of giving, he wished to own all that is on the
earth to be able to give even more to his brothers and introduce joy into
their households.
And before Ramadan, he enjoyed the fine food and clothes and he did not
care about anything else. But when he saw the displays of benevolence in
Ramadan, he resolved not leave the way of the benevolent. For he found
in kindness to people what he did not find in delicious foods, fine clothes
and luxuries. So he resolved to continue being kind to others. And to
provide a share of the wealth that his Lord bestowed him to the poor and
needy especially with his knowledge of the hadith related that by Abu
Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) who said that the Prophet ‫ﷺ‬
said:
ُ ََُ ًَ َ ً ُْ ْ َ َ ُ ُ َ َ َ َْ َ َ َ ُ َ ْ ُ ْ ُ َْ
‫ وﻳﻘﻮل‬،‫ اﻢﻬﻠﻟ أﻋِﻂ ﻣﻨِﻔﻘﺎ ﺧﻠﻔﺎ‬:‫ ﻓﻴﻘﻮل أﺣﺪﻫﻤﺎ‬،‫ﺰﻨﻻِن‬ ‫ﻳ‬

(1010:‫ ﻣﺴﻠﻢ‬،1442:‫ اﻢﻬﻠﻟ أﻋِﻂ ﻣﻤِﺴﺎﻜ ﺗﻠﻔﺎ" )اﻛﺨﺎري‬:‫اﻵﺧُﺮ‬
"Everyday two angels descend and one of them says, 'O Allah!
Compensate (more) to the person who gives (in charity) while the
other one says, 'O Allah, Destroy the one who withholds (charity).
[alBukhari 1442, Muslim 1010]
In Ramadan, many people were keen to honor their parents. And to
introduce joy to them by calling them and sitting with them. They secured
the pleasure of their parents that they had previously been inattentive to
due to their preoccupation with worldly affairs and the needs of their
https://www.khutbah.info/ 4
Khutbah.info
families and children. So they resolved to allocate time to their parents and
to designate specific times to sit with them and not to miss or delay it no
matter what. For they realize the great rights that their parents have upon
them. For Allah Almighty mentioned their rights together with His rights
because they are the primary reason after Allah Almighty for their
existence in this world:

‫ إ ِياه وب ِالواِليِن إ ِحسانا‬Zِ ‫ تعبدوا إ‬Z‫ وقض ربك أ‬- 23 :‫الساء‬
Al Isra (17) 23: And your Lord has decreed that you worship not except
Him, and to parents, good treatment.
Ramadan was a reservoir of Iman (faith), Taqwa (consciousness of Allah),
purification of the souls, correcting behaviors and learning the rights. Every
believer reaped from Ramadan what he drew. The successful is the one
who fulfills his pact with Allah. And does good in the remaining months as
he did good in Ramadan. Because he worships Allah the Exalted and he
does not worship Ramadan. And it is mandatory to worship Allah in all
times, places and circumstances.

Oh people:
We miss Ramadan. We miss fasting its days, and praying during its nights,
and connecting to the Quran, remembering and supplicating to Allah
Almighty, fulfilling the rights and obligations, and performing acts of
kindness. For indeed we learned from Ramadan that we are able to
perform these worships no matter how busy we get or how much
responsibilities we have. And the right of Allah Almighty upon us is the
greatest right that we must fulfill. For He is our Creator, Provider, Sustainer
and Ordainer. And He is the One who recompenses us for our deeds. And
we are His servants and are in servitude to Him at all times. And He
ordained for us the voluntary fasts and voluntary night prayers. And He
established that we shall pray witr prayer before we sleep except for those
who pray voluntary prayers during the last part of the night, and that is
better. And he commanded us to recite the Quran, reflect on it and act on
it:
َ ْ َ ُ ُ َ َّ َ َ َ َ َ ُ َّ َّ َ ٌ َ َ ُ َ ْ َ ُ َ ْ َ ْ َ ٌ َ
ِ ‫كِتاب أنزلاه إ ِلك مبارك ِلدبروا آيَ ات ِهِ وِلتذكر أولو اللا‬- 29 :‫ص‬
‫ب‬
Saad (38) 29: [This is] a blessed Book which We have revealed to you, [O
Muhammad], that they might reflect upon its verses and that those of
understanding would be reminded.
Just as Allah the Exalted commanded us to be kind to people, those far
from us and those close to us. And our Lord Almighty has ordained that
the rights of those closer to us, such as the parents, relatives and
neighbors, are greater.
We ask Allah Almighty to accept our deeds in Ramadan, our fasting,
prayers, recitation, supplications, charity, acts of kindness, and to help us
maintain the momentum after Ramadan. Indeed He is All-Hearing
Answering.

I conclude with this and send prayers of blessings and peace upon your
Prophet as your Lord commanded:

Al Ahzaab (33) 56: Indeed, Allah confers blessing upon the Prophet, and
His angels [ask Him to do so]. O you who have believed, ask [ Allah to
confer] blessing upon him and ask [ Allah to grant him] peace.

O Allah, guide us with those whom You have guided, grant us well-being
among those You have granted well-being, be an ally to us along with
those whom You are an ally to, and bless what You have bestowed upon
us, and save us from the evil of what You have decreed. For verily You
decree and none can decree over You. He whom You support can never
be humiliated. Glory is to You, our Lord, You are Blessed and Exalted.
