Ramadhaan Reminders: The Virtue of Giving Sadaqah in Ramadhaan - Rayaan Barker | Masjid al-Furqan by Learn About Islam

A highly beneficial khutba in which Ustaadh Rayaan discusses the importance of striving to perform virtuous actions throughout Ramadhaan including recitation of the Qur'aan, giving Sadaqah, contemplating over the Qur'aan, perfecting our manners and more. It is upon us to to leave Ramadhaan in a better state than we entered it.

In this excellent reminder after Taraweeh prayer Ustadh Abu Humayd reminded those present of the blessed time that we are in, how quickly the first half of the month has passed and the importance of taking advantage of that which remains. He brought Ayaat from the Book of Allaah as well as Ahadith from the Messenger of Allaah Alayhis Salaatu Was Salaam to indicate that the fasting came in stages and didn’t become an obligation all at once. Likewise, he reminded us of the importance of preserving our tongues from foul speech as fasting doesn’t simply mean we abstain from eating and drinking alone.

He concluded the kalimah with the hadith of Abu Hurayrah RadhiAllaahu Anhu in which the Prophet Sallallaahu Alayhi Wa Sallam ascended the minbar and said Aameen 3 times. Upon being asked why he said so, one of the reasons was that Jibreel made dua against the one who is not forgiven in Ramadan to become distant from Allaah’s mercy, to which the Prophet replied Aameen.

For these benefits and more, listen to the rest of this short reminder in shaa Allaah. JazaakumAllaahu khairan.

In the third lesson in this Ramadan series, Ustadh Abu Humayd discusses the obligation of fasting of Ramadan and how it is known from the religion through the Quran, Sunnah and Ijmaa (consensus) as well as it being known from the religion by necessity.

He went on to mention some common issues discussed regarding the nullifiers of the fast, from them:

-Sexual intercourse and what is required from the one who falls into this.

-Ejaculation, from other than intercourse and what is required from the one who falls into this.

-Purposefully eating or drinking

-Snorting water

-Blood transfusions and taking nutrients in through the veins

-Inhalers

-Bleeding

-Vomiting.

-Use of Kohl and eye drops

-Use of Siwak

-Use of Toothpaste

-Lying, foul speech, etc.

The different types of people in Ramadan with regards to fasting, some are commanded to fast from the beginning, some are commanded to make it up and some have a choice.

What is the situation for the one who had a legitimate reason not to fast, but that reason leaves during the day, before maghrib. Does he refrain from eating for the rest of the day or can he continue to eat and drink?

Is it more virtuous to fast whilst travelling or break your fast? And the benefits for the one who chooses to fast.

Ustadh also mentions the importance of knowing how to deal with our brothers and sisters from Ahlus Sunnah who choose one way over another in scenarios of apparent contradictions within evidences. And brings statements from the Sahabah regarding this.

For all of this and more, listen to the audio. BaarakAllaahu Feekum.
