Ramadan Fasting

About this lecture

In this lecture recorded ahead of Ramadan 1441/2020, Sheikh Tahir Wyatt guides Muslims on how to prepare for a Ramadan unlike any other — one marked by closed masajid, cancelled iftars, and the COVID-19 pandemic. He covers the core objectives of fasting (servitude to Allah, attaining taqwa, and gratitude for the Quran), practical steps to spiritually prepare at home, and how to maximise the nights of Ramadan through personal Qiyam al-Layl — even without a masjid. The lecture concludes with a Q&A addressing common questions on fasting, night prayer, and family worship during this extraordinary time.

Shaykh Dr. Tahir Wyatt is an American scholar from Philadelphia and one of the most academically credentialed English-speaking Islamic scholars. He studied for roughly two decades in Saudi Arabia, earning multiple degrees including a doctorate from the Islamic University of Madinah, and made history as the first American appointed to teach in the Prophet's Mosque in Madinah, where he taught in both Arabic and English. He returned to Philadelphia, where he serves as executive director of the Quran and Sunnah Society and resident scholar at the United Muslim Masjid, and he has served as a senior scholar with Yaqeen Institute. His lectures span aqeedah, hadith, fiqh, and the intellectual defense of Islam.
