Shaykh Faraz Rabbani shared five key spiritual lessons related to fasting and the month of Ramadan. These same lessons are a means to prepare for Ramadan and reflection on changing our relationship with Allah.

These lessons of fasting and Ramadan are taken from verses 183-187 of Sura al-Baqara, and are nurturing:

(1) A living relationship with the Qur’an;

(2) Mindfulness (taqwa) of Allah;

(3) Gratitude (shukr);

(4) Magnifying Allah (takbir), by making Allah the greatest concern in our lives; and

(5) the most important and ultimate aim of fasting: realizing the reality of Allah’s Closeness.

This khutba was delivered at the Bosnian Islamic Centre, as part of SeekersGuidance Canada’s community outreach and engagement.
