Suhaib Webb – First Ramadan Do These!

This is your first Ramadan. Here's some advices

that make it meaningful and impactful and transformative.

Number 1 is

appreciate the fact that Allah has brought you

into this moment. Think about where you came

from. I think about where I came from

that 1st Ramadan,

and I was like, wow. I can't believe

I'm here. And when I would think that

way, I'll be overcome by how much love

and mercy Allah had for me, so embrace

that. Number 2 is go to the Masjids,

especially for the time of breaking the fast

iftar. Because as new Muslims,

we have friends before Islam that wanna take

us to *, and in the Muslim community,

we can find friends that will take us

to heaven. It's very important to be around

the Muslims.

Finally, go to Taraweeh.

I learned how to pray my 1st year

as a Muslim by going to Taraweeh, and

also I learned how to interrogate myself. I

remember, like, even though I was in this

huge row of people,

I felt alone with Allah. I felt alone

with Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. And even though

I didn't understand the Quran,

it impacted me. So I was able to

interrogate myself and get rid of certain bad

habits that I brought into the Muslim faith

and came out of Ramadan

much more stronger. So these are three things

that you wanna think about as you push

into this beautiful month of Ramadan. May Allah

make this first Ramadan for you transformative,

meaningful,

and impactful, and full of light.
