In a world of information overload and desensitization, the sin of Ghafla (heedlessness) is prominent. The month of Sha’aban is a month in which the Prophet ﷺ said this is most likely to happen. With Gaza in the background, how do we identify this particular spiritual disease and remedy it?

Shaykh Hamza Yusuf delivers a Khutbah about the hallmarks of gratitude in the context of Ramadan, which he called an annual school that we attend to build Taqwa (God consciousness) and sabr (patience) and move away from ghaflah (heedlessness).

Shaykh Hamza Yusuf delivered this final Ramadan sermon (Jumat-al-Widah Khutbah) at the Muslim Community Center – East Bay (MCC East Bay) in Pleasanton, California on June 23, 2017.
