You Make Ramadan Difficult

About this lecture

In this khutbah, Sheikh Abu Usamah discusses one of the greatest benefits of Ramadan — saving oneself from the Hellfire — and introduces a powerful hadith about the person for whom the Hellfire is made forbidden: one who is gentle with others, gentle with himself, easy-going, and accessible to the people. He then addresses the many ways Muslims unnecessarily make Ramadan difficult — for their children, for travelers, for the sick, and for pregnant and breastfeeding women — emphasizing that Islam's principle of ease is real, divinely ordained, and not an excuse to abandon obligations, but a mercy to be understood and applied correctly.
