Ramadan Reminders 2026 – Day 25

Auto-generated transcript: Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim. Alhamdulillahi Rabbil Alameen. Wasalatu wasalamu ala ashrafil anbiya wal mursaleen. Muhammadur Rasulullah ﷺ. Tasleeman kathiran kathira. Wama baadu, my brothers and sisters, I remind myself in you that Ramadan al-Kareem is the month for us to change our lives and to bring them on to the path of obedience to Allah ﷻ in the way of His Nabi ﷺ. One of the important things in Ramadan also is to reflect on our relationships. Our relationships with our parents, our relationships with our siblings, our relationships with our friends and neighbors, our relationships with Muslims and non-Muslims. And to practice the beautiful akhlaq, the beautiful manners, the beautiful ways of dealing of the Prophet ﷺ, which made him the beloved of everyone in the society that he lived in. And this is an opportunity for us to do that in Ramadan. Rasool Allah ﷺ said, "If you cannot control your tongue, and if your tongue has the same kind of filthy language and useless talk and so on that you have in normal times, even when you are fasting, then Allah ﷻ has no need for you to be hungry and thirsty." Nabi ﷺ said, "When you are fasting, make sure that your tongue, that nothing vulgar comes on your tongue, that you do not use obscene language." My brothers and sisters, this is a very important thing, as I said, to understand that Ramadan is not for Ramadan. The admonition to keep your tongue clean and pure and to speak only that which is beneficial, otherwise to remain silent. It is not only for Ramadan, it is for the rest of our lives. And Ramadan is the place where we practice it, and so let us do that. Practice good akhlaq, practice good manners, practice the way of living with people in a way which is beneficial for them and us. Practice a way in which we build bridges and we bring people close to us on the basis of our Islam, where we, with our akhlaq, with our manners, with our dealings, we dispel all the propaganda that people put against Islam. And may Allah bless the noble Prophet and his family and companions with the mercy of Allah.
