About this lecture

In this lecture, Sheikh Omar Suleiman explores the significance of the 15th night of Sha'ban, examining the authenticity of narrations about it and focusing on the two spiritual barriers — shirk and shahnah (grudges and hatred) — that can prevent a believer's deeds from reaching Allah. He delivers a heartfelt challenge to viewers to resolve broken relationships and let go of personal grudges before Ramadan begins, drawing on the example of the angels, the companions, and the Prophet ﷺ himself to inspire a love for Allah that overcomes the ego.
