Ramadan Hadith Qiyam al-Layl Sacrifice Prayer Hajj Tawbah Fasting

About this lecture

In this moving Jumu'ah khutbah, Sheikh Omar Suleiman explores the theme of sacrifice for the sake of Allah — from fasting and Qiyam al-Layl to giving up deeply beloved sins. Drawing on a powerful personal account of a new Muslim's journey to sobriety and a profound hadith about Allah's admiration for those who rise in the night to pray, Sheikh Omar reminds us that every sacrifice made sincerely for Allah is seen, cherished, and rewarded by Him.
