Mohammed Faqih – Make Dua to Allah

About this lecture

In this Ramadan khutbah, Sheikh Mohammed Faqih reflects on the profound connection between fasting and du'a (supplication), centering his talk on verse 186 of Surah Al-Baqarah — the verse about Allah's nearness that appears right in the heart of the Quranic verses on fasting. He explains the two types of du'a, warns against the danger of asking Allah only for worldly needs while neglecting worship, and urges the congregation to seize every opportunity in this blessed month to beg Allah for forgiveness, acceptance, and guidance. The lecture is punctuated by a powerful reminder of death — the passing of a 24-year-old community member — driving home the urgency of turning to Allah without delay.
