Rather for many of us, Ramadan was simply about limiting the amount of time wasters and distractions in our lives. Some of you are not suffering from any major destructive compulsive behaviors. “Respond to God and His Messenger when He calls you!” And you RESPONDED! That guilt you were feeling last night when Ramadan ended is a testament to your strength and ability to fight your vices for the rest of the year.įor others, Ramadan may not have been about overcoming a personal vice. In fact, God praises a soul which holds itself to account. But you know what, it’s good you have that sense of guilt and sorrow in you. And yes, I know what you all are thinking, “I still messed up.” “I still couldn’t let go of that bottle or that needle this Ramadan,” “some days I broke my fast because it was too hard,” “I still watched pornography, I still smoked,” or “I still fought with my children,” etc. Today’s BRIEF khutbah is on hope and healing. It’s about the fact that you made it till the end of Ramadan, the fact that you tried to better yourself and made the effort to do so, regardless of how small that effort was. Today is the day of Eid al-Fitr, a day of celebrating our completion of Ramadan. Below are the notes I originally wrote for this khutbah.
