This was the fastest Ramadan of my life. You may feel like you

00:00:03 --> 00:00:06

haven't done everything you wanted to do this Ramadan, and in fact,

00:00:06 --> 00:00:09

you may be thinking about the way that you wasted it, or maybe

00:00:09 --> 00:00:11

you're thinking that you tried your best you really did, but you

00:00:11 --> 00:00:14

wish that you had done even more. But do you know what the Prophet

00:00:14 --> 00:00:16

peace be upon him taught us, for all of us who are here at the end

00:00:16 --> 00:00:20

of the month, wishing we had just done more, regretting and thinking

00:00:20 --> 00:00:23

like it's already done anyway, the Prophet, peace be upon him, taught

00:00:23 --> 00:00:27

us that the person who fasts during Ramadan out of sincere

00:00:27 --> 00:00:31

faith hoping to attain Allah's rewards, all of their past sins

00:00:31 --> 00:00:34

are forgiven. Not the person who finishes the Quran as many times

00:00:34 --> 00:00:37

as they wanted, not the person who prayed sarawiya for hours every

00:00:37 --> 00:00:41

single night, not the person who did all of the Ramadan goals and

00:00:41 --> 00:00:45

more, the person who fasts hoping for that reward is that you so why

00:00:45 --> 00:00:49

don't you think Allah will forgive you? It's not about whether or not

00:00:49 --> 00:00:50

you forgive yourself. You.
