Why The Early Muslims Loved Winter

About this lecture

In this lecture, the speaker explores the beloved saying of the early Muslims — that winter is the "spring season of the believer" — and explains why the companions and righteous predecessors cherished these months as a golden opportunity for worship. Drawing on the words of Ibn Masood, Muadh ibn Jabal, Umar, and other early Muslims, the lecture motivates believers to capitalise on the long winter nights for Qiyam al-Layl and the short days for voluntary fasting. Practical, spiritually rich, and rooted in hadith and Quranic verses, this khutbah is a timely reminder not to let the winter season pass without spiritual renewal.
