Suhaib Webb - Ramadan, The Month of Progress

About this lecture

In this lecture, Imam Suhaib Webb explores Ramadan as a month of spiritual progress, arguing from the principles of Usul al-Fiqh that the true purpose of fasting is taqwa — a goal accessible to every Muslim regardless of wealth, race, or circumstance. He outlines how fasting serves as a shield against the nafs, Shaytan, and heedlessness, and explains how each day of Ramadan mirrors the arc of a human life and serves as a reminder of death. He also addresses how Muslims can stay spiritually balanced and joyful during Ramadan amid the suffering of fellow Muslims around the world, calling the community to translate emotion into action and self-reform.
