Q 1:
When I listen to sermons and admonitions, my heart softens. However, when I finish and return to my brothers and family, I forget everything I heard.
What is the remedy for this?
A:
When you are inspired by religious speeches and admonitions, it proves that you are a good and true believer. Only believers are affected by reminders and only pious people learn from these speeches. Allah (Exalted be He) states,
And remind (by preaching the Qur’ân, O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم), for verily, the reminding profits the believers.
You should continue listening to religious speeches and admonitions in addition to observing Taqwa (fear/wariness of offending Allah). May Allah help you benefit from them.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
