Ramaḍān Reminders 2017: Concluding Ramaḍān Well – Ustādh Rayaan Barker

Ramaḍān Reminders 1438H: nightly reminders after Tarāwīḥ, by Ustādh Rayaan Barker (hafidhahullāh)

• The Salaf took great care over how they concluded their deeds at the end of Ramaḍān, following the example of the Prophet ﷺ (Shaykh al-Fawzān, hafidhahullāh) • "And those who give what they give while their hearts are fearful that they will return to their Lord": the believers fear that their deeds may not be accepted • The Prophet ﷺ acknowledged that he could not fully praise his Lord: how then should we feel about our own shortcomings? • Fear of rejection must not become despair: "O My slaves who have transgressed against themselves, do not despair of the mercy of Allāh" (az-Zumar 39:53) • Repentance and seeking forgiveness need sincerity, remorse and the resolve to rectify what remains of one's life
