Ramadan Reminders 2026 – Day 16

Auto-generated transcript: Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim. As beautiful as you want, it is up to us. Rasulullah ﷺ said, Abu Huraira ﷲ reported in a hadith in Bukhari, he said the five daily prayers and from one Friday prayer to the next and from Ramadan to another Ramadan are expiation for sins committed in between provided one stays away from major sins. See the mercy of Allah ﷻ. From Fajr to Dhuhr, the time period, if you have committed any sin and by sin it does not mean doing something haram deliberately. These are things which we do, we forgetfully or we do because we, you know, temporarily lost our judgment and so forth. Allah ﷻ forgives those sins even without making istighfar. Of course, we should try and make istighfar and tawbah, but even if we do not make istighfar, Allah ﷻ forgives those sins between Fajr and Dhuhr, Dhuhr and Asr, Asr and Maghrib, and so on, between the five prayers, between one Jummah and the other Jummah, and therefore it's so important to pray Jummah among many other reasons why it's important between Ramadan and Ramadan and in another generation, between one Umrah and another, and then between one Hajj and another, we ask Allah ﷻ to give us all of these, inshaAllah, with khair and barakah. In the hadith of Umm Salim, ﷲ, Rasulullah ﷺ said, the performance of Umrah during Ramadan is equal in reward to performing Hajj with me. Now, seeing this beauty of this deen, that the Sahaba were hugely fortunate enough to make Hajj with Rasulullah ﷺ. Now, we might say, well, you know, what can I do? I was born at this time. I was not born then. How can I get this reward? You can get this reward by making Umrah in Ramadan. For those of you who can afford it, please go and do it. Make Umrah during Ramadan, and inshaAllah, Allah ﷻ will give you, inshaAllah, Allah ﷻ will give you, give us the reward of making Hajj with Rasulullah ﷺ. The purpose is to try to do as many things as possible which please Allah ﷻ. So we are building our portfolio, building our bank account, building our bank balance with Allah ﷻ. A bank balance of good deeds, and a bank balance of deeds which earn His pleasure. And may Allah bless the noble and noble Prophet, and his family and friends, with His mercy, O Allah.
