Ramadan Is Not Random — It’s a Selection | Dr Omar Suleiman

--- As we enter the Month of Mercy, we are reminded of a powerful question from the Qur’an: *“Say, my Lord would not care for you were it not for your du‘a…”* What gives us value in the sight of Allah? Is Ramadan simply another season — or is it a divine selection? In this khutbah, we reflect on the difference between *divine distribution and divine selection**. Allah gives wealth to those He loves and those He does not love. But **Iman* — faith — is only given to those He loves. Ramadan is not random. It is not guaranteed. It is a gift. And you have to be chosen. We explore: Why du‘a is called worship How Iman gives you value with Allah The difference between pursuing Jannah and pursuing Allah’s pleasure What it means to have a transformational — not transactional — relationship with Allah The powerful question to ask yourself every single night of Ramadan: *“What is Allah saying about me right now?”* From the example of our mother Aisha (رضي الله عنها) perfuming her charity, to understanding how to “perfume” our fasting, prayer, and Qur’an — this reminder calls us to enter Ramadan with love, sincerity, and accountability. May Allah choose us to witness Ramadan with Iman and accept us among the forgiven. Ameen. If this reminder benefits you, share it so others can prepare their hearts before Ramadan begins. #Ramadan #Iman #Dua #IslamicReminder #MonthOfMercy #Tazkiyah
