What does Ramadan teach us about the strength of the true believer?

Key Quote:

“Often we think that we have so many weaknesses and we transgress so often that maybe we aren't capable of leaving sin. Maybe we are not capable of overcoming an addiction. But the reality is that if you think about how capable we are, how much restraint that we show in the month of Ramadan, in private and in public…That shows incredible capacity.”

How can someone actually maintain that consistency after Ramadan? How do we use our Ramadan to strengthen our resolve?

Key Quote:

“The most critical time to develop these habits which we may do in Ramadan is the time immediately after Ramadan because we are already in a momentum.”
