Khutba - The Fast Of The Righteous

As we enter the second ten days of Ramadan, the days of forgiveness, Shaykh Yahya Rhodus explains Imam al-Ghazali’s three degrees of fasting: the fast of the common folk, the fast of the elect, and the fast of the elect of the elect. Shaykh Yahya focuses on the fast of the elect (or righteous) and its six practices to encourage us to strive for a higher level of fasting and its potential rewards. He also mentions the greatest sign that an act is accepted by Allah the Exalted and gives a du’a (supplication) to recite asking for this acceptance.
