Ramadan Is to Purify Our Souls

This month is an amazing month. It is

a month of hope. It is a month

of reward. It is a month when we

come closer to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, not

least because we need it more than anything

else. We need Allah azza wa jal to

forgive our sins. We need Allah azza wa

jal to lessen the loads and the burdens

that we bear upon our shoulders of the

many times that we are neglectful of our

duty to.

And that is what the month of Ramadan

does. Helps you to realign your priorities,

helps you to focus, helps you to remember

that it doesn't matter about anything else. Whatever

else may be taking place,

your greatest objective in life, the purpose of

your creation, the reason why Allah has created

me and you, is for his worship alone.

To find his pleasure, to obey him, to

attain his reward and his jannah by his

mercy subhanahu wa ta'ala. That is what the

month of Ramadan

gives you the opportunity to do. And that's

why there are numerous hadith,

numerous hadith that speak about the virtues of

fasting. And the virtues of fasting, especially the

month of Ramadan. And what the month of

Ramadan brings in terms of its rewards. And

many of them are known to you. But

this month is an opportunity that Allah

gives only to a few people. And I'm

not just speaking about those people that have

passed away, that were with us last year,

that they're no longer with us this year.

There are many people who are alive and

healthy. Muslims, they don't fast in Ramadan. They

won't take those opportunities of Ramadan. They'll eat

and they'll drink even though other people around

them are fasting. In the month of Ramadan

they'll cheat and they'll lie and they'll steal,

even though it's the month of Ramadan. They

won't pray and they won't give sadaqah, they

won't do any of those good deeds, even

though it is the rut of Ramadan. So

if Allah has given you the opportunity to

witness the rut of Ramadan, and Allah has

given you the further blessing of being able

to understand

the importance and the value and the preciousness

of Ramadan. And then Allah gives you the

ability to do something about that in terms

of your deeds and your actions,

and being able to come closer to him.

Those are things that you should not take

for granted, or rather it is something that

we should and

form poison.

But Allah opens our eyes, gives us the

ability to understand how precious and valuable

something is perchance. And Allah knows best that

what we do in this month of Ramadan

is enough to save us from his punishment

and turn to us into his mercy and

which will practice all of that.

which will practice all of that.
