Imam Khalid Latif | Shaytaan Is Chained, But The Nafs Remains: Using Ramadan To Understand My Unchained Self

The opportunity for growth is immense in the month of Ramadan for the one who chooses to take advantage of it. The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “When Ramadan begins, the gates of Paradise are opened and the gates of Hell are closed, and the devils are put in chains.” Hadith gives us insight that adversarial elements looking for us to fail are not able to impact us in the same way during the blessed month of Ramadan. What remains is ourselves and a choice to willfully improve in relation to where we currently stand. Join us for a reflection on this first Jummah of Ramadan with Imam Khalid Latif where he looks into this and more as a means for each of us to take as much as we can from our Ramadan. Tamim Islam* recites the Quran at the beginning of the jummah reflection. *About Tamim: Tamim is a current senior at NYU studying Business Technology Management.
