Umar's personal struggle with the nafs

Sha’ban is the month of preparation for Ramadan. Every act of worship and every good habit you build in Sha’ban sets the foundation for your best Ramadan yet.

Sha’ban is the month of training the nafs, your lower self. It’s a time to strengthen discipline, resist temptations, and silence the whisperings of Shaytan. By struggling against your desires now, you enter Ramadan spiritually ready and focused.

Listen to the full khutbah by Dr. Omar Suleiman as he explains why Sha’ban is the perfect month to prepare your heart, mind, and soul for Ramadan.
