Mokhtar Maghraoui - Ramadan: The Last Ten Days

About this lecture

In this Ramadan lecture, Sheikh Mokhtar Maghraoui urges Muslims not to treat the COVID-19 pandemic as a mere historical or medical event, but to recognize it as a divine sign calling for spiritual awakening, repentance, and return to Allah. He emphasizes the immense blessings of the last ten nights of Ramadan — particularly Laylat al-Qadr — encouraging abundant Quran recitation, intention of I'tikaf at home, and deep reflection on how sins carry real spiritual, psychological, and collective consequences. The lecture closes with moving supplications from Sayyidina Ali ibn Abi Talib and later scholars, illustrating how the righteous turned inward to seek divine forgiveness as the true remedy for outward afflictions.
