Beyond Hunger and Thirst: Protecting Your Fast from the Sins of the Tongue

About this Khutbah

This khutbah emphasizes that the true objective of fasting in Ramadan is achieving Taqwa (God-consciousness), not merely abstaining from physical nourishment. The speaker warns that the greatest threat to a believer's fast—and their ultimate salvation—is the misuse of the tongue, particularly through backbiting, slandering, and spreading unverified information on social media, urging the congregation to safeguard their worship by controlling their speech.
