In this moving final Jum‘ah of Ramadan, Sheikh Anwar Mady reflects on the profound theme of al-‘Afw (Divine Pardon) as the ummah approaches Laylatul Qadr. Beginning with the well‑known du‘ā taught to Sayyida Aisha ﷺ — “Allahumma innaka ‘afuwwun tuḥibb al-‘afwa fa‘fu ‘annī” — the khutbah explores the distinction between maghfirah (forgiveness) and ‘afw (complete erasure of sins).

In this khutbah, Sheikh Anwar Mady continues his series on the Beautiful Names of Allah (Asmā’ Allah al‑Ḥusnā), focusing specifically on the divine name Ash‑Shakūr (ٱلشَّكُور) — The Most Appreciative, The One Who Rewards Abundantly for Small Deeds.

The khutbah stresses that sending blessings upon the Prophet ﷺ is not for his benefit but for ours—bringing relief from worries, forgiveness of sins, and elevation in ranks.

Drawing from Qur’anic verses, prophetic traditions, and historical examples, the khutbah highlights the spiritual and social importance of pardoning others, even when wronged. Sheikh Anwar illustrates how pardoning reflects divine mercy, citing the Prophet’s example during the Conquest of Makkah and Abu Bakr’s response to the slander against Aisha (RA).
