Joe Bradford - Building Our Community in Preparing for Ramadan in Rajab and Shaban

About this lecture

In this Jumu'ah khutbah, Sheikh Joe Bradford draws on the hadith of Abu Bakr and Umar visiting Umm Ayman to emphasize the Sunnah of visiting and connecting with one another for Allah's sake — especially in preparation for Ramadan during the months of Rajab and Sha'ban. He calls the community to look beyond their familiar circles and reach out to the elderly, youth, converts, and those without local family, reminding believers that Allah's love is guaranteed for those who love, visit, and give for His sake. The khutbah concludes with a Qunoot al-Nazilah offered in response to the 2019 Christchurch mosque attacks in New Zealand.
