Belal Assad - The Devils Departure

About this lecture

In this pre-Ramadan lecture, Sheikh Bilal Assad explores the spiritual significance of Ramadan through the lens of Iblis's ancient vow to lead humanity astray, examining how the shaytan attacks us, why his power is diminished in Ramadan, and how our own nafs remains our greatest challenge. Drawing on Quranic verses, hadith, and vivid analogies, he calls Muslims to begin preparing for Ramadan immediately — through dhikr, voluntary fasting, and night prayers — so that the blessed month becomes a true turning point rather than a passing wave.
