Suhaib Webb – Changing Oneself in Ramadan

About this lecture

In this Ramadan lecture, Sheikh Suhaib Webb explores the concept of purifying the soul (*tazkiyyah an-nafs*) as a central objective of Prophethood, drawing on Quranic verses and the hadith of Salman and Abu Darda. He explains why Allah elevated purification above knowledge in His response to the du'a of Ibrahim and Ismail, and emphasizes that Ramadan is a powerful tool for holistic self-transformation — spiritually, morally, and in one's dealings with others. The lecture concludes with practical advice on building a daily program of dhikr, Qur'an, and increased prayer throughout the blessed month.
