Sorry, Cindy Emily Nakata, Melissa Lee of Coco Lee, for hamdu Lillahi Rabbil alameen wa Salatu was
Salam O Allah said ambia eva mousseline Radha he was
00:00:52 -->
00:01:32
once again a salaam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato. inshallah tada I was I was given the topic
of Ramadan in the Quran. And there's actually only one of Ramadan in the Quran. And it's situated as
all of you probably know in salt Bukhara. In our regular series of the voluson Sutra Baccarat. I've
spent quite some time on this ayah and discussed some of the background behind it. But this session
inshallah I hope to do three things. Some of it is review from previous gurus. But I do hope to do
three things. One, I hope to share with you the placement of this ayah. This ayah is in the latter,
the second half of Bukhara. And there's a logical progression. The story begins from the beginning
00:01:32 -->
00:02:11
of Baccarat. And we reach this point when Ramadan is given to the oma. So I want to share with you
how we get to this point. And this sort of how allies always have builds the argument and finally
reveals to us this incredible gift. And then the second thing I'd like to do with you is share with
you certain insights about the idea itself. And then the third thing I'd like to share with you is a
tip, essentially a clue Allah gave us of how to take the most advantage of Ramadan. And that's the
that will be the third thing I'd like to share with you. So let's begin at the top. So total dakara
is basically divided into two halves. The first half overwhelmingly deals with benissa II.
00:02:12 -->
00:02:16
And the second half overwhelmingly deals with the Muslim oma.
00:02:17 -->
00:02:58
And the first the point of it all, is that one nation has been its crimes have been listed. And
allies though don't give us very convincing reasons for why they no longer deserve the status of
being the highest among the chosen oma. And once he gives those reasons then he justifies why there
is a need for a new nation to be a role model for humanity. And that is how we are the Muslim oma is
inaugurated. But before this transition happens, so Allah azza wa jal talks about benissa eat
actually he began first saying all human beings were honored because the first human being is
mentioned that his mother his Salaam, in some sense, he was chosen over all other creation, then
00:02:58 -->
00:03:25
within his children, a nation was chosen over all other nations. That is, when you slide into the
column, that speech begins about when he is writing, and it goes on for some time. And allies are
also lists in between the lines, as they say, in Arabic in the Lebanon hrtf home, in between the
lines, they say that the reason for which they don't accept Muhammad Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam is because he's not from the children of Islam.
00:03:26 -->
00:04:03
He's not from the children of that line. He's from the children of his family, and it's the other
line. So he's not from us, how can profit come down? to him? We have a copyright. We have a
trademark on Prophethood. So it can't come outside our family. So what Allah does with Allah by the
end of that conversation, he says, Okay, well, he's not from your family. Is Ibrahim from your
family? He basically poses that question to them. So a conversation begins about Ibrahim alayhis
salam. And within the Rahim Allah asylums conversation really awesome. Something really awesome
happens within his children, the child that they believe in the most, the one that they take pride
00:04:03 -->
00:04:36
in the most is jacoba. Hassan, the Jews, they take the most pride in jacoba and I'm the reason for
that is the other name of yaku is Israel. That's the name they have for their entire nation. They
call themselves the children of Israel. I mean, you could say they call they should call themselves
the children of Ibrahim, but they don't they call themselves the children of Israel in so what
specifically Allah mentions about Eveleigh Hema is saddam is a couple of things. One thing you
mentioned Cyndi Lauper, Mike. Okay. All right. So one thing he mentioned, now, this is a lot better.
00:04:38 -->
00:04:59
Is that yagoona his salon was reaching his deathbed. He was about to die. And he gathered all of his
children. How many children is jacoba? The salon have 12. So he gathers all of his kids and he's had
his deathbed. And what asked the question, I'm going to Shahada in Havana Cuba mode, where you
witness when death presented itself to Jacobi
00:05:00 -->
00:05:14
That came to your home is colony Benihana. tabuteau Lombardi when he said to his children, who are
you going to be worshipping after me? You might be thinking this talk is supposed to be about
Ramadan. What does this have to do with Ramadan? Just wait and see. Just wait and see. It's all
connected.
00:05:15 -->
00:05:29
So Jaco whose other name is what again. He was talking to his children and saying I am about to die.
What will you do after I'm gone? So his children say Kowloon Abu ilaha illa Baraka Ibrahima wa.
00:05:30 -->
00:05:39
A smile Ito his own children said we will be on the same religion as your father's Ibrahim and is
married. In other words, Jews accused
00:05:40 -->
00:05:59
of being someone we don't take from his mother love, even call him the illegitimate child. That's
what they said about him. His own children. It's like his own children said we will follow the
legacy of Ibrahim and is married and his heart before they even mentioned their own grandfather.
They mentioned their grandfather's brother is married or they said
00:06:00 -->
00:06:29
they mentioned him first. in Ottawa, Hayden is only going to be this that's all one God is not
different religions is one enter, but they added something very interesting. Now I want you to keep
in mind when we say the children of Islam, we think of a nation. But the people around the bed of
Yahuwah Salaam are the actual children of Islam in these are his sons. When we use money slightly
now we're talking about their children's children's children's children as shown in the next several
lines down. But these are the original sons of Islam.
00:06:30 -->
00:07:08
What words came out of their mouth, they said when a new Allahu Muslim moon, we are going to be
Muslim only for Allah. The sons of Israel in said that we are going to be Muslims. The word Islam
came out of their mouth. Allah reminds the Jews that Islam is not something Why are you saying this
is new to you? Your own father, you say you will follow the legacy of your father's fine. Your
father said that they will follow the legacy of his married also, actually they mentioned this
married before they even mentioned his heart. And they said that they're going to be Muslims. So
what's the holdup? What's the problem now? When the moon
00:07:09 -->
00:07:14
so first they're introduced to Ibrahim alayhis salam in this way. So they understand that their
criticism that
00:07:16 -->
00:07:53
is not from our family, Allah says Yes, he is from your families from Islam. He's always married.
And if your thinking is married is not worth much what your children thought your own father thought
he was worth a lot. They honored him first. Now, another point. Allah didn't just tell us about
that. Allah went on and told us something else very critical about Ibrahim Ali Salaam in this
conversation. He told us what if you're finally able to he will cover it I mean, and Beatty is
married, or Barack Obama in Simi Valley. when Abraham and Islam was raising the foundations of the
house along with his married what house was he building? the Kaaba.
00:07:55 -->
00:08:19
So now the Jews even recognize that Abraham built a house. Even they recognize and they're being
told this house was built with not with the help of his heart, but with the help of his family. Now
it's married, obviously went to the Arab land. So they know that if he built it with a smiley, that
can't be somewhere else it has to be in Arabia, the house has to be in Arabia. And then after that,
it is that Eliza which reveals so hello Sofia, how
00:08:22 -->
00:08:37
allottee can the idiots the fools are going to say how can they change their Qibla Muslim used to
pray before GABA, which which direction we did, we used to pray in lochsa, which means we accepted
the capital of the Jews as our capital.
00:08:38 -->
00:09:15
They that is their capital. That's what they thought of it as the catalyzer capital. So we prayed in
that direction. So we accepted their capital as our capital. But when Allah change the Kabbalah, he
didn't just change it. First. He said, Abraham built it. And then he revealed the ayah to change the
Qibla. And so now the Muslims are praying in a different direction. When the Muslim started praying
in a different direction, what we learned in the seat of the Prophet salallahu alaihe salam is that
the members of the Jewish community was really angry. They were very offended. They actually started
complaining. Now we'll know what turned them around. Why don't we turn the other way? And
00:09:15 -->
00:09:16
cumulative, and from there.
00:09:17 -->
00:09:18
See the
00:09:19 -->
00:09:31
Latina what turned them away from our Qibla they said what turned them away from their Qibla two
guys is yours. You know that you know what that tells us? Deep down inside, they knew the profit is
true.
00:09:32 -->
00:09:50
And you and they knew if this direction changes, all of a sudden Allah has decided to honor the sons
of his married because the sons of his Hawk have lost it. The way they messed up way too much. So
they couldn't accept that. To make this point a little clearer. I'll review something I've shared
with you before.
00:09:51 -->
00:09:59
A non Muslim sees you praying at the airport. If you if a non Muslim sees you praying at the
airport, whether you're praying northeast Southwest, you're praying
00:10:00 -->
00:10:03
Left, right, you know, the guys praying in three different directions? Do they have a problem with
that?
00:10:05 -->
00:10:09
They don't care. Like there's Muslims. You know? Why is this guy praying to a chair? I don't
understand.
00:10:10 -->
00:10:32
Now what do you face the window, the chair the wall, it doesn't matter to them. They wouldn't be
offended by your change of direction. Why? Because that's not your religion. That's not a religion.
That's not there is no there is this. The fact that the Jews of Medina were so offended that the
Qibla changed? What does that tell you? They knew this is the right religion. They knew it.
00:10:33 -->
00:10:41
And they got very upset about it. And by being upset, they show their own foolishness. So unless I
say a hole, so haha.
00:10:43 -->
00:10:50
He didn't say the Jews said he said the fools said because they gave it up. Why did they turn their
direction? Then Allah says fully
00:10:54 -->
00:11:38
tell them a lot on the east in the West, he guides whoever he wants to a straight path wonderful.
Allah guides Allah tells him Allah does what he wants, he has the authority to change the capital.
Now, you know when a nation is formed, learn nation is freed, then they declare a capital. And when
they declare a capital, they are then you know, the flag is raised and they are officially declared
a new country. Right? You can't have a country until you have a what? A capital. So this capital is
now declared the new capital of Islam is Makkah, which means now officially, we are a new nation. So
it's very logical that the next IOD in the surah are Waka danika dynaco, mata masaba. That is how we
00:11:38 -->
00:11:45
made you a middle nation. Congratulations, you are a new nation. Ally. xojo gave us that honor. He
made us a new nation.
00:11:46 -->
00:12:12
Now that we are a new nation, the question arises, is it only the Qibla that makes us a new nation?
Or is it something deeper? Is there something else Salatu was there before. So that was there before
as a matter of fact, fasting was there before two Jews had fasting also, they had a lot also, they
had a lot also. But something is new about this nation. They have been given the final message of
Allah.
00:12:14 -->
00:12:20
And I'll ask you a simple question. You don't you all know the answer to it. What month was the
final book of Allah revealed?
00:12:21 -->
00:12:36
Ramadan, the Jews accept it or not. They refuse to accept the Quran. This is a new nation. And the
reason it's a new nation is it has the final book. So that month in which it was revealed should be
the month of celebration
00:12:37 -->
00:13:02
to celebrate us as a new nation. And the reason for which you should celebrate this new month is
because this is the month of the Quran the month that made you a new nation. So the first thing that
makes us a new nation is the change of Qibla. The second thing that makes us a new nation is we
should we should officially inaugurate a commemoration setup ceremony of the Quran and Allah
declares that to be Ramadan.
00:13:03 -->
00:13:47
So now we finally get to these ions. We get to these ions. The point of these ions in their history
was to put things in perspective. You people are a new nation and you should celebrate being the
honored nation of Allah and that celebrations name is Ramadan. We when we think of celebration,
nowadays, we think of eighth right? And it is another celebration. Actually before that celebration.
The true celebration is actually Ramadan itself for a lot of Muslims today because our understanding
of the religion has deteriorated so much. Ramadan is like the first three days or celebration, then
it's exhaustion. And then in Chow is coming Okay, okay. couple more days. It's overall it's almost
00:13:47 -->
00:13:48
over, you know,
00:13:49 -->
00:14:11
but Ramadan itself is supposed to be the celebration. Now, as we get into the IR before Allah gave
us Ramadan, and the I told you this one I have Ramadan in the Quran, when I have Ramadan and fasting
or the month of Ramadan, but there's an ayah fasting before to you Hello, Dina Amano kuchibhotla
camassia kamakoti.
00:14:15 -->
00:14:25
Those those two are about fasting also. But they are about fasting by most scholars opinions that
don't have to do with Ramadan itself. Unless as you
00:14:27 -->
00:14:30
can see on Kama quotevalet.
00:14:32 -->
00:14:51
Casting is made mandatory on you just like it was on those who came before you just like it was
mandated on those who came before you. In other words, your days of fasting and the Jews days of
fasting are the same days. Originally, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam used to fast the same
days as the Jews used to fast come up with the bar.
00:14:53 -->
00:15:00
Just like that, the format of the fasting was the same. But now you have to have an
00:15:00 -->
00:15:41
new month so the new month was in the next ayah no no no not like them anymore The next ayah comes
and says no, it's not going to be I do that a few days I do that in Arabic means it's called general
kingdom is less than 10 days. There are about nine days they used to fast right? That's it was less.
But um you know, Ramadan is how many days of fasting it's 30 days. So let's say Shahada Ramadan next
I shadow Ramadan the month of Ramadan. Before I go further, all of us have hamdulillah we've
experienced the month of Ramadan in our life multiple times was the first thing that comes into the
mind of the average Muslim when they think of Ramadan fasting, actually, no not fasting. So who
00:15:41 -->
00:15:41
wouldn't have thought
00:15:43 -->
00:15:48
the two things that come to the mind of a Muslim Pokhara time
00:15:50 -->
00:15:51
is gonna be good.
00:15:52 -->
00:15:54
That's what comes to our mind.
00:15:55 -->
00:16:01
You know, what is what is the first thing Allah wanted us to know about Ramadan? Sha,
00:16:03 -->
00:16:05
Allah the Quran
00:16:07 -->
00:16:08
song.
00:16:09 -->
00:16:16
The first thing he told us about the ayah the month of Ramadan is the one in which the Koran was
sent down.
00:16:17 -->
00:16:20
There's no mention of what yet pastor
00:16:21 -->
00:16:48
there's no mention of as the only thing this is a month the Quran came down at it. So now the Muslim
knows the thing that makes us different. That Quran that incredible gift of Allah that was revealed
this month this month is better than every other month, automatically. This book is better than all
previous revelation. It's the ultimate revelation. The final revelation of alaric xojo this month
must be the best month of all. There's no fasting he knows about it yet. The Muslim hasn't even
heard about the fasting yet but he knows this is the best month.
00:16:49 -->
00:16:57
Now maybe the next words are going to tell us about fasting Chateau Rama bond under the Koran
holiness
00:16:58 -->
00:17:00
are under the guidance for people
00:17:02 -->
00:17:41
the conversation is no longer about Ramadan the conversation is about the Quran. The Quran is so
important in this ayah that the subject of the month of Ramadan is stopped shallow Ramadan is the
month is a discussion about Ramadan stopped and a conversation began about the Quran itself you
should get reintroduced to the Quran. And let me tell you what Allah says about the Quran in this
ayah number one he says woodenness It's a guidance for people do Muslims already know that? Yes,
well the United mean Allahu Allah, Allah has multiple proofs and multiple clear teachings that come
from guidance. Do Muslims already know that? Wonderful con and it makes it this distinction between
00:17:41 -->
00:17:42
right and wrong.
00:17:43 -->
00:17:49
It criteria dictates the criteria a standard between right and wrong Muslims already know that. Yes.
00:17:50 -->
00:18:19
Everything Allah said about the Quran in this is something that Muslims already knew or didn't know.
They already knew. What is Allah telling us? When this month comes, it's almost as though you are
getting reintroduced to the Quran. It's like you're coming to the Quran for the first time all over
again. Every time you should feel like you just became a new Muslim oma. Every Muslim should feel
like he just became a Muslim. You know, when somebody just becomes a Muslim, they really want to
read the Quran.
00:18:21 -->
00:18:56
What does it say? What does God say to me? There's a curiosity, right? Allah wants us to have that
fresh take on the Quran every single month, every single month of Ramadan. We have to gear up not
for just the fasting, not just to get to foods, most of us end up gaining weight and losing weight.
You know, we have to gear up for our appetite for the Quran itself. This year I will be introduced
to the Quran like I've never been introduced before. I will recite the Quran like I've never recited
it before. I will read the same way out like I've never read them before.
00:18:57 -->
00:19:03
This is the beauty of these ions. The Jews believe that their book was guidance for all of mankind.
00:19:04 -->
00:19:09
No, they believe that the Torah was guidance only for them. Allah says
00:19:11 -->
00:19:47
Odin does not this time, you new nation, you don't get to keep it for yourself. This will be a
guidance for everyone. So you know what those words mean? I didn't just say who that is guidance for
you people. He's telling us. You know what that means. This month, I will learn the Koran. I will
reintroduce myself to it but I know for a fact this book will not walk itself over to the people who
will have to give it to the people. You and I will because it is guidance not just for you and me it
is guidance for the people the month of Ramadan is a reminder that we have to share Quran with
humanity.
00:19:49 -->
00:19:50
Just in the words of endedness.
00:19:51 -->
00:19:55
When you share the Quran with humanity, they ask for proof.
00:19:56 -->
00:20:00
They ask why do you believe this is the word of God? What's your
00:20:00 -->
00:20:30
Proof what's your evidence? Give me something. Don't say that. Allah says in the next words very
logical obey, you know, Tim Buddha, but you're not means proofs clear evidences that come from
guidance. Not only does it guide people it proves to them that this is the guidance to you don't
have to come up with some outside evidence, the evidence is inside the Quran. Anybody with decency,
human decency is going to see that they're going to come to this book with the right intention, and
they will find guidance and they'll proofs that this is guidance and validated for them.
00:20:34 -->
00:20:43
And once they accept those proofs, it will tell them which way is wrong and which way is right one
for con. It'll separate right and wrong for them.
00:20:44 -->
00:20:58
So it started with a guide and invitation for people guidance for people. It will prove itself to
them and once it proves itself to them, they will pick the right way from the wrong way because
it'll draw a line for them. Don't do this and do this live this way and don't live this way. So
Pinilla
00:20:59 -->
00:21:10
This is the awesome power of the Quran. But the ayah did not begin with the Quran. The Ayah began
with the month of Ramadan. Now Allah says Okay, now let's go back to the one
00:21:12 -->
00:21:26
after this introduction is okay, let's go let's talk about the month of Ramadan again, Furman
shahida, bien como Shara, then whoever among you witnesses the month whoever is around lives to see
the month is very beautiful. He didn't say for Sumo.
00:21:28 -->
00:21:51
For Sumo then fast in it. He said whoever witnessed the month you know the people who become a
Muslim you know what they're called. When they when they take their when they accept Islam was they
called taking what? Shahada Shahada. When the believer is when the followers of Esau they believed
in Him, they may die they asked him ask Allah Namah Shaheen
00:21:52 -->
00:22:13
Lita kulu, Shahada, Alana's so you should be witnesses against people. The idea of witnessing the
truth, when somebody takes Shahada, it's like they're a new Muslim, they just became Muslim. Allah
says you will be witnesses to the month, the month itself will be your Shahada. You will be
testifying to the month. So
00:22:14 -->
00:22:52
what that means for us is and the other thing here is, if you live to see the month from unshare,
hidden income, what it means is if you live to see the month if you're around, in other words, you
know how sometimes the Imam makes Allahumma Ramadan, Allah give us in our provision in our list,
give us the month of Ramadan, the month of Ramadan is not cheap, you have to earn it. And maybe
that'll lead us if you don't get this month of Ramadan, I don't get this month of Ramadan and our
day comes before we even get there. So if you are lucky enough, you are gifted enough by Allah that
you got to see the month of Ramadan, then you should celebrate. You should celebrate you should be
00:22:52 -->
00:23:02
so happy that you got to see another Ramadan. And here's how you celebrate five years from then you
should faster than Allah has declared declaration of celebration is fasting.
00:23:03 -->
00:23:09
As fasting. Did you know that all profits before they received revelation they fasted, Allah called
them too fast.
00:23:10 -->
00:23:23
And we are supposed to as now we are the guardians of that revelation. If we really want to
internalize that revelation, we also have to what fast there's a relationship between taking the
Koran in your heart and fasting, Allah made that connection himself.
00:23:24 -->
00:23:49
There will something will happen if you come to the month of Ramadan in order to get closer to the
Quran. And of course, you're fasting at the same time, there will be a connection created, your body
will starve and your soul will feed. It's gonna be awesome. Usually we feed our body and we starve
our souls. Right? But this month, we're going to starve the body and we're going to feed the soul so
it's going to be balanced the 11 months of imbalance will be balanced again.
00:23:50 -->
00:23:53
This is this is the opportunity we've been given failure.
00:23:55 -->
00:24:02
Now did we fast before Ramadan came? Did the Muslims fast before Ramadan came? Yes.
00:24:03 -->
00:24:12
And Allah gave some rules. Allah said if you are sick, this is before Ramadan if you get sick, then
you can make up the days for that Amina Yemen.
00:24:14 -->
00:24:26
But maybe you're not sick. And you don't want to make it up. You can pay some video. For video.
Don't bother looking at Punahou videos on Thomas King, the one who has the power to fast,
00:24:27 -->
00:24:36
doesn't want to fast but he can afford it. He can just give them a skin some food. He can feed him
his skin and he can pay for his fasting that way. This was the rule before Ramadan.
00:24:38 -->
00:24:41
So you have two ways of making up a fast what are the two ways of making up a fast
00:24:42 -->
00:24:53
one. Now what's the first way you make it up? First way you make it up second way you get for the
and how many days that we used to fast nine.
00:24:54 -->
00:25:00
So there were three things that were easy about fasting before Ramadan. You can make it up you can
00:25:00 -->
00:25:02
Good video. And it's just nine days.
00:25:03 -->
00:25:10
Ramadan came. Ramadan has its own rules. Allah says financial freedom and commercial
00:25:13 -->
00:25:14
law philosophy
00:25:16 -->
00:25:52
whoever witnesses the man should fast it not fast in it. If I say I fast in Ramadan it means I've
had some days of Ramadan if I say I fast Ramadan What does that mean? The whole Ramadan so now it's
not nine days it's how many 30 days or give or take 30 days so it's harder easier now. Number one,
it's harder. Number one, it's harder. If you miss a fastball, how many options Did you have
originally, you had two options over the two options. Who remembers make it up or pay video? Nola
says woman cannot even afford the tomiyama or
00:25:53 -->
00:25:57
whoever was sick or was traveling he has to make it up in other days.
00:25:58 -->
00:25:59
And the Muslims are thinking,
00:26:01 -->
00:26:27
Oh, no, no, no more. And the one who wants to afford it, give some other guy and get out of it. No,
no, that option is not there anymore. Now it's more days. And if you miss it, you have to make it
up. Is it easier or harder? Ah, so it's it got harder in multiple ways. It's more days. They're all
together. They're all together and you have to make them up. If you miss, there's no option. There's
no other option also, man.
00:26:28 -->
00:26:39
When he made it harder, somebody might be listening to that and go man, Ramadan is gonna be hard.
The Muslims of that time might be that somebody might be thinking, I don't know, this was easier
before and I've got harder. Allah says you need a lot. How
00:26:42 -->
00:26:42
can
00:26:45 -->
00:27:01
he how beautiful he knows what we're thinking before we even say it. He says a low one sees for you.
A low just because you start you might start thinking it's gonna be hard. He says a low once is for
you whether you need to become an officer, and he doesn't want difficulty for you. He doesn't want
difficulty for you. And by the way,
00:27:02 -->
00:27:12
if I say to my child, I want ease for you. I want things to be easy for you. That I don't have to
say and I don't want things to be difficult for you.
00:27:14 -->
00:27:48
Because if I just say I want ease for you, that means the same thing. But if my child is really
worried, and I want to give him a lot of encouragement, I say I want things to be easy for you. I
don't want them to be hard for you at all. I say it like it's like I said it twice. It's like I said
it twice. That's what I did in Oman. It's gonna be Allah wants things to be easy for you. He doesn't
want things to be hard for you. He doesn't want things to be hard for you. But here is where we're
gonna talk about some really important stuff inshallah. Tada, hopefully I can wrap it up rather
quickly. I know you've had a 10 hour marathon, so, but there's some really important things I'd like
00:27:48 -->
00:27:49
to highlight for you. inshallah.
00:27:51 -->
00:27:52
You all know what that quote means. Yes.
00:27:53 -->
00:27:56
What does that mean? Please don't say fear of God.
00:27:57 -->
00:27:58
Consciousness.
00:28:00 -->
00:28:06
we acquire the original word require means protection. dakwah actually means to protect yourself.
00:28:07 -->
00:28:12
Protect yourself. If you're if you're wearing a bulletproof vest, you're engaged in an act of taqwa.
00:28:13 -->
00:28:28
If you pack your bags properly before you go on a journey by Xavi, a taqwa that's also taqwa. Like
you took your passport and you make sure you had enough money for the journey, etc, etc. That's also
a form of, well, why because you're protecting yourself from landing into trouble.
00:28:29 -->
00:28:38
taqwa with a lie is I'm going to protect myself from doing sins from looking in the wrong direction
from saying the wrong thing. From wasting my time. This is also duck.
00:28:39 -->
00:28:42
Duck was mentioned a couple of 100 times in the Quran.
00:28:43 -->
00:29:17
A couple of 100 times Allah talks about taqwa. If Allah talks about duck was that many times,
actually let me not finish that sentence. How many people here have teenage kids? teenage kids,
okay. Hello, john Irving is about to erupt. Give it five years, all these little, little monkeys we
got running around. They're all going to be teenagers. Those are scary times. Those are scary times
my kids and your kids. The average age here is very young. But give it five years. Oh my goodness.
Then they're going to be teenagers. And people are when I say how many people have teenagers,
there's going to be people crying.
00:29:22 -->
00:29:25
How many times you got attempt to tell your teenager to do the homework?
00:29:26 -->
00:29:27
Oh my god.
00:29:28 -->
00:29:36
Do your homework, do your homework, do your homework. Did you do your homework? You do homework?
You're going to do it? Right. Okay? Just a Hey, by the way, do it.
00:29:39 -->
00:29:40
Why do you have to tell so many times?
00:29:41 -->
00:29:50
If you tell them if I came over at your house as a guest and you keep telling your child do
homework, I stopped and I said why you tell him so many times? And you say what do you say?
00:29:51 -->
00:29:54
Cuz he doesn't do it. He doesn't listen.
00:29:55 -->
00:29:59
And then I have to say you know what? You're the Father. You're the mother. You know, I'm better
00:30:01 -->
00:30:05
You don't have better so the fact that you're repeating so much you must know what you're doing.
00:30:06 -->
00:30:11
A law repeats duck law a couple of 100 times in the Quran does that tell you something?
00:30:12 -->
00:30:15
Who's he talking to? You and me.
00:30:16 -->
00:30:26
It took a lighter lighter colada Anaconda Tokunaga tahune Fatah who keeps saying he keeps saying he
keeps saying it What does that mean logically?
00:30:27 -->
00:30:28
We don't really do it.
00:30:31 -->
00:30:33
If we did it how many times you have to mention it.
00:30:34 -->
00:30:34
Done.
00:30:36 -->
00:30:40
Done. Let me give you a proof unless as fast in Ramadan, one time.
00:30:41 -->
00:30:51
One time Muslims fast generally are no. Oh man. He didn't have to tell us 100 times faster Ramadan,
fasting Ramadan. Ramadan is done. Finish.
00:30:52 -->
00:30:58
Don't do. He says have Taqwa hundreds of times. So which one is harder faster than normal? Donald
00:31:00 -->
00:31:11
Duck was hard. That was hard. Now, I told you there are two if there's there is about Ramadan,
Ramadan itself. But there is an ayah before about fasting.
00:31:12 -->
00:31:22
There's an ayah before about fasting. So before I finished the ayah about Ramadan, I want to tell
you something about fasting itself. Unless esclusiva Kumasi Anca, makuti Baba, Medina and
00:31:24 -->
00:31:36
Tata when you are given fasting so you can get. Basically the premise of that is you can develop
fasting, hopefully you can develop taqwa, hopefully by the act of fasting.
00:31:38 -->
00:32:03
What is the what's the connection between me not drinking and eating and developing taqwa? not
drinking and eating is something physical? Yes. You feel the effects of it physically or
spiritually, physically, but acquire something physical or spiritual. So Allah says, do something
physical and you will have spiritual effects. Isn't that what he's saying? So we have to understand
how can this be? We have to figure this out? Listen,
00:32:04 -->
00:32:08
if you fasted before, and now all of you have, it's a hot day,
00:32:09 -->
00:32:14
you know, with your coworker. And he's gulping like Goo Goo Goo Goo next to you.
00:32:16 -->
00:32:22
And looking at him drink and your throat is begging. Your throat is screaming at you just take some
water.
00:32:23 -->
00:32:32
you're starving. you're starving and you're you know, right before if our time right before you're
sitting at the table, you can hear the fries crying.
00:32:33 -->
00:32:48
You know, and the fruit chart is being put on the table. You're looking at it actually you're
looking at that in the clock and looking at that in the clock. It's like the playoffs. The last few
seconds. That's what you're doing. It's tiring. It's in your hand is here. It's time right it's
tiring. It's tiring.
00:32:52 -->
00:32:55
Oh no, the clock is off. Oh God, I hate that.
00:32:56 -->
00:32:58
But you know what you're in anticipation.
00:32:59 -->
00:33:03
But your stomach is hungry before the bell rings are know.
00:33:05 -->
00:33:13
Your stomach says I want I want food Give me your throat says I want drink give me but your heart
says a throat Shut up.
00:33:16 -->
00:33:25
Your stomach says I want food and you tell you in your heart that fears a lot more. That heart
becomes stronger and learns to tell the belly a no, not until
00:33:26 -->
00:33:41
there's a fight going on inside you. For 30 days there's a fight going on inside me. And for 30 days
my heart wins. For 30 days I beat my stomach and I beat my throat and I beat my eyes
00:33:42 -->
00:33:46
and I beat my ears. I beat them the beer says come on a couple of songs
00:33:48 -->
00:33:50
just one movie the eye says no it's not
00:33:51 -->
00:33:57
even those of you that are like addicted to movies it cut it down to Ramadan. No rose Ramadan, bro.
Okay, do
00:33:58 -->
00:34:02
you guys some of you guys go to parties and stuff. Not allowed kind
00:34:03 -->
00:34:13
of those kind but in Ramadan, you cut it down your feet, say Come on, let's go. Your hand gets
jittery with the car keys is announced from the heart says no Ramadan, we're off. We're off duty
this month.
00:34:15 -->
00:34:36
Not going to do it. There's a battle going on inside you. And for 30 days. Allah gives you the power
to win for 30 days. You know and if anybody's ever joined a workout program, lose weight in 30 days,
get ripped in 45 days, you know, become a monster and 80 days whatever. You know,
00:34:37 -->
00:34:40
whatever it may be what happens to most people
00:34:42 -->
00:34:45
before they watch the first episode, come on, stay with me. Stay with me.
00:34:48 -->
00:34:49
I need a doughnut.
00:34:52 -->
00:34:53
They're done after one day.
00:34:54 -->
00:34:59
Do Muslims quit fasting after one day? No. They stay 30 days.
00:35:00 -->
00:35:19
If they just understood why they're fasting because I, my belief is most Muslims don't understand
why they're fasting, they forgot that they're fasting in order to build dakhla. If they remembered
that, if they understood that, if I remember that, then my heart has been trained for 30 days to
defeat the rest of my, my temptations.
00:35:20 -->
00:35:26
All of them, I have my heart. But the taqwa of Allah has one for 30 days. That's what you call a
training program.
00:35:27 -->
00:35:52
That's a training program. And in during training, you know, fire departments have training, police
departments have training, military has training. And during training, they will pretend like the
buildings on fire, and you have to go in there or whatever. Or they'll have like these fake, like,
you know, fake criminals pointing guns at you, and you have to shoot at them or whatever. But during
training, they don't actually put you in front of a criminal shooting at you.
00:35:54 -->
00:36:13
During training, it's easier for you. Yes. So the real challenges are not given to you, you're given
similar situations, but it's made easier for you. Because even though firefighters not actually
fighting a fire simulation, simulation, the pilot is flying the plane on software before he goes up
in the air, you understand. Now he
00:36:14 -->
00:36:22
does a lot, he can make something easy for us. So this fight is a little easier this month. So we
can develop this muscle before it's crushed.
00:36:24 -->
00:36:25
What does he do a chip on
00:36:26 -->
00:36:41
a maximum of 30 days. So that you know this training is without distractions. It's easy, you can
build this on your own. And now that you're done, go, go 11 months deal which I thought
00:36:43 -->
00:37:00
and after 11 months of a war is going on between me and Stefan, actually between to my heart who's
already been trained by shavon, who's already been listening to check on for a long time. Only about
one month training, then he's back on the battlefield for 11 months is he going to be is the heart
going to be injured in 11 months.
00:37:01 -->
00:37:05
So you need to come back for more training. For more healing.
00:37:06 -->
00:37:13
You know, the hearts are allowed to heal in Ramadan. For 30 days. It's our 30 day ship on vacation.
00:37:14 -->
00:37:30
That's what that is. It's It's beautiful. It's so brilliant. That allows always gave us that the
connection between fasting and building taqwa you understand this? So let me just finish the IR
about the Quran. And I'll share with you the hint kind of like gave us okay.
00:37:31 -->
00:37:33
allows the widow says
00:37:35 -->
00:37:41
you need to learn how to become a user, whether you need to become what Lee took me to Linda.
00:37:42 -->
00:37:59
And I gave you this month so that you may complete the count. Leave them as they call it is the
answer to the question Why? Why did you tell us the whole month so you may complete the full
training period in the full 30 days? How many of you are in a work that requires some kind of
certification?
00:38:00 -->
00:38:19
Right? Do you have to have a 30 day training or 20 day training whatever. If you leave after 10 days
you don't get your certificate? There's not enough you're not ready. If you want to get that
certificate that your heart is strong enough, then you have to finish the full 30 days and by the
way, whenever one of you earns a certificate Do you celebrate or no?
00:38:20 -->
00:38:31
I just got Cisco certified back in the day I got MC ASE certified remember that some of you techies
right? I just learned cold fusion cold fusion is cold and dead now. Right?
00:38:33 -->
00:38:42
I learned this language or that language. I got certified in this and I got certified that there's a
celebration, isn't it? celebrations have happens before you finish your training or after you finish
your training.
00:38:43 -->
00:38:45
First, finish your training.
00:38:47 -->
00:38:51
Once you finish your training you should celebrate when Muslims celebrate what do they scream?
00:38:52 -->
00:38:54
Somebody gets their diploma, what do you hear?
00:38:56 -->
00:39:06
Allah says we need to come to LA calm so that you may declare the greatness of Allah which is the
Quranic expression for celebrate out loud.
00:39:07 -->
00:39:17
What happens in eight What are we reciting as we're walking to them as Allah? Allah, Allah. Allah is
beautiful. We're celebrating that we finished our training.
00:39:18 -->
00:39:26
It's not a time to be sad. You would think oh, Ramadan is over. We should be sad. Allah tells us No.
We should be happy. Have an upbeat attitude. What do you
00:39:27 -->
00:39:31
have based on how he guided you? I will even teach you how to celebrate
00:39:33 -->
00:39:52
what that some scholars say what that means is you know how we're supposed to take a different road
to the prayer and we're supposed to you know what we're supposed to do when we wake up. We're
supposed to eat sweets and particularly, you know, and we're supposed to do these Kabir and recite
them out loud. This is the guidance of Allah even taught you how to celebrate not just how to party
but how to party.
00:39:53 -->
00:39:55
But at the end of it all he as well
00:39:57 -->
00:39:59
and hopefully, maybe
00:40:00 -->
00:40:12
As a result so that all of you will become grateful. The last con, the second last conversation,
I'll be honest with you guys, the second last conversation I want to have with you is, why does
Allah say at the end of this is so that you should be grateful.
00:40:13 -->
00:40:37
And the word lambda is more comprehensive, it captures, maybe you'll be grateful. Hopefully you'll
become grateful also means so that you become grateful. You know what that means? That means even if
you fast the entire month, it doesn't guarantee that you will become grateful. But the hope is
there. The hope is there. The best case scenario is this. Does everybody who go through who goes
through an entire program graduate don't answer that question certain students.
00:40:39 -->
00:40:52
Somebody goes through an entire program, it's not guaranteed that they graduate. Yes. So there are
the eventual outcome of Ramadan is that you should be grateful. The question is, like Shekar Sharma,
he says, a shoe Kuru Kala Nana.
00:40:53 -->
00:40:59
Sugar is exists when you respond to a favor. You don't think anyone unless something good has done
to you?
00:41:00 -->
00:41:08
The question then is what are we thinking a lot for at the end of Ramadan? There's a few things what
was the first gift, Shahada, Milan and then even Xena Fie.
00:41:09 -->
00:41:23
We learned to be grateful for the Quran. The point of this whole exercises this month should be so
full of Quran you have such a new taste for the Quran in this month, that at the end of this month,
you say I thank Allah for giving me the gift of the Quran.
00:41:24 -->
00:41:26
I'm so grateful for the Quran.
00:41:27 -->
00:41:32
The second gift I think a love for giving me a month free of shape. And so I can recite the Quran
piece
00:41:34 -->
00:41:34
for you.
00:41:36 -->
00:41:40
We live in a time when you recycle and seek refuge of a lot from the shape on
00:41:41 -->
00:41:44
this month you get free access to the Quran
00:41:45 -->
00:41:55
distraction free access to the Quran. So you should be grateful for that. You should be grateful
that allow allowed you to witness the entire month admin take you before them.
00:41:56 -->
00:42:11
So these are the gifts that I look into. Now the last part of my talk with you, I don't think I
should take more than 10 minutes for this. And that is the gift of Allah to the Muslims for Ramadan.
In addition to this, something Allah gave us as a bonus.
00:42:12 -->
00:42:15
You know, sometimes you complete your training and you give kinds of gifts,
00:42:16 -->
00:42:18
in addition to your diploma.
00:42:19 -->
00:42:27
This is the gift, Allah and the next ayah doesn't talk to us. He doesn't talk to us. He talks to the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
00:42:28 -->
00:42:30
with a body
00:42:31 -->
00:42:37
when his slave when my slave, my slaves asked you about me?
00:42:38 -->
00:42:43
First of all, I didn't say if they asked you about me, Allah said when they ask you about me.
00:42:44 -->
00:42:52
In other words, always waiting for us to ask. You know, a father who's hoping his son comes back. He
doesn't say if my son comes back.
00:42:53 -->
00:43:11
He says, When my son comes back, a father whose son is in the military on a mission, he's gone. He
says in three months when my son comes back in sha Allah, He doesn't say if my son comes back, he
understand in the word when there's hope in the word if there is actually kind of hopelessness.
00:43:12 -->
00:43:19
Allah says, When my sleeve asks you about me. In other words, Allah is waiting in this ayah for you
to ask about him.
00:43:20 -->
00:43:23
Allah is waiting that his slave should ask about him.
00:43:24 -->
00:43:33
And they come and ask the Prophet sallallahu Sallam will Allah forgive me, will only accept my
daughter. What does Allah What does Allah want from me? The Sahaba come and ask the prophets.
00:43:34 -->
00:43:36
Now what should you tell them?
00:43:37 -->
00:43:41
Allah said no know who was talking to in the aisle. What did I say? Who is
00:43:42 -->
00:43:52
the professor Listen, in Arabic eugenics expect what either Sila kariba, de nieve akula home in the
corrib.
00:43:53 -->
00:44:01
If my slaves asked you about me, then tell them I am near. That's what you should tell them. Who
should tell them.
00:44:03 -->
00:44:08
They came and asked for profit. So the profit should tell them some sort of is not true.
00:44:11 -->
00:44:19
What does Allah do something incredible. When my slaves asked you about me, I'll talk to them
directly I am near.
00:44:20 -->
00:44:39
Allah didn't even ask the prophet to tell them Allah tells us himself. He in the middle of that
conversation. It says though he was waiting for the time that you would ask about him and when you
would ask about Him He will talk to you directly and tell you directly in the Quran. I am Here I am
so near you don't even have to talk through the prophets. I said I'll talk to you directly in
00:44:40 -->
00:44:50
the prophets I didn't mention anymore. And don't have any doubt about it. Because as mentioned, as
though you might think really unless gonna talk to me, I am I am here.
00:44:52 -->
00:44:55
Now, let me give you some examples so you appreciate what's happening here.
00:44:56 -->
00:45:00
I know we're in Irving so a lot of texts. techies here your work.
00:45:00 -->
00:45:22
In a big corporation By any chance, a big corporation, okay? You have a CEO, he's got 500 employees
1000 employees, chances are you'll never meet him. high likelihood you will never meet the CEO of
the company. And if you meet him, maybe you run into him. He's taking a tour of your campus or your
office, and you kind of shake hands with him or talk to him, how long is that conversation going to
be?
00:45:24 -->
00:45:29
Five seconds, maybe five seconds, you can Can I take a picture? That's what you're gonna do. You
know.
00:45:30 -->
00:45:41
But you don't get much time with somebody who's very important. And somebody who's responsible for a
lot of people, the more they're responsible for you, they're not close to you.
00:45:42 -->
00:45:51
What's the lowest job in the world, the lowest job, like if you have the employer up here, I'll tell
you, the lowest job is slave.
00:45:53 -->
00:46:24
So the biggest distance between the employer and an employee, the biggest distance is what master
and slave master will talk to the manager, he'll talk to the clerk he'll talk to the regional
director. At the bottom, the last person you might ever talk to would be the slave ally is the
highest that can ever be. And we as bad as slaves are the lowest we can ever be, logically speaking,
that is the greatest distance and the less as whenever this lowest one asks about the highest one
telemon near
00:46:27 -->
00:46:29
tell him you are not fine.
00:46:30 -->
00:46:35
Now tell me this, when you talk to somebody important. You have to get an appointment.
00:46:37 -->
00:46:42
I don't like something Obama said in his speech, I should send him a message I should call him.
00:46:44 -->
00:46:46
Am I gonna get through? No,
00:46:47 -->
00:46:49
no, or not?
00:46:50 -->
00:47:28
When somebody is important, you can get through a man, you know, one of my children, I wanted to
take them to a specialist. And they're specialists you know they have because they're one or two of
them in Dallas. They there's a waiting list. So I can't just walk into the office, I have to get an
appointment and they give you an appointment three months later. And if you miss it by 10 minutes,
another three months. Because they're busy. That's not on my schedule that is on their schedule. The
more important someone is, the more busy their schedule is, and I have to make time for them. They
don't make time for me. They don't make time for me. It would be really ridiculous of me that if I
00:47:28 -->
00:47:48
was if I met a great scholar, one of the world's great scholars. Like for example, I had the chance
to meet chef Maulana Hassan Akram nadwi. mela, protect him. In London, it was a really honor to meet
him one of the great scholars of the great mohabbatein of the world. I'm not gonna go to him and
say, Hey, by the way, you know, if you want to schedule an appointment to talk to me, here's my
number.
00:47:50 -->
00:47:58
It's ridiculous. What are you thinking? Somebody's gonna meet the president and tell him Hey, you
know what, if you just give me a call, just leave a message. I'll get back to you when I can.
00:47:59 -->
00:48:05
It doesn't make any sense. It doesn't make any sense. Who should make the appointment the master or
the slave?
00:48:06 -->
00:48:15
The slave should make the appointment. Allah says Luigi Buddha, I respond to the call. That was very
evident whenever he calls me, I'll answer.
00:48:16 -->
00:48:22
Whenever he calls me, I will answer the I began, I'm waiting for you to ask about me.
00:48:23 -->
00:48:34
Now I'm not even waiting for you to talk to me. I'm waiting for you to ask about me talk about me.
I'm here. And then he goes on to say you doesn't matter when you call me? I'll answer.
00:48:35 -->
00:48:44
So Carla, how who's going to be more important than them? And who's going to have a lower status
than you and me and yet Allah says I'm waiting for you anytime,
00:48:45 -->
00:48:50
anytime. And I will respond immediately by the way StG rule but the excellent work done.
00:48:51 -->
00:48:52
As the G will respond over time.
00:48:53 -->
00:49:10
Would you follow on immediately will immediately respond immediately I will respond when he calls
me. But there's something that happens in the middle that I want to share with you and I'm done in
this particular This is the gift. This is the gift this ayah Allah says Big Buddha was a die.
00:49:12 -->
00:49:17
I respond to the call. The call of the caller
00:49:18 -->
00:49:28
there's a difference between saying I respond to the call of any color as opposed to saying I
respond to the call of the caller.
00:49:29 -->
00:49:33
When you say any color a color is the color known or not known.
00:49:34 -->
00:49:42
Not Know when you say the color is the color known or not known. known a lot. How many people
calling him ah
00:49:43 -->
00:49:51
so many. He has the you know if anybody else if all of you are asking a question I would say a
person asked
00:49:52 -->
00:50:00
because I got a written question. I don't know where it came from. One of the students asked it's
anonymous, unless has none of you are anonymous. All of you are not
00:50:00 -->
00:50:01
As a You are a
00:50:03 -->
00:50:11
You are a particularly I will respond to your call individually he's actually asleep from Texas
called me
00:50:12 -->
00:50:21
know that one that one right there he calls he made that dog is very particular that because of the
die because of a die
00:50:22 -->
00:50:23
then Allah didn't say
00:50:26 -->
00:50:26
he said
00:50:27 -->
00:50:27
that
00:50:28 -->
00:50:33
this is the is called a Muslim with a tomato tomahto they call it an Arabic grammar.
00:50:34 -->
00:50:43
I will call even if this guy is not even used to making Dorough once in a blue moon out of some
crazy thing that happened in his life he decided to make the out of by accident.
00:50:44 -->
00:51:00
even die even if he called me one time da da da da can be regular. That was one time even if he
called me one time I will answer him. So none of us can say well I don't even pray. I'm so messed
up. Allah is not gonna answer my door unless as you just try once.
00:51:01 -->
00:51:03
Just try me once I'm waiting,
00:51:04 -->
00:51:05
where are you?
00:51:06 -->
00:51:12
And then Allah here Subhana Allah Look at this. Unless I respond to the call of the
00:51:13 -->
00:51:18
acceleration should translate retranslate I respond to the single call of the
00:51:19 -->
00:51:42
caller Tell me when you say caller Hey Yala B caller does that mean the caller is a certain standard
could a caller be a good person or a bad person? Sure. Colors the color? A color could be anybody 11
say I respond to the call of the righteous one. The worshiping one the good one
00:51:43 -->
00:51:50
the knowledgeable one. He didn't put any conditions on the caller except that he is a caller
00:51:52 -->
00:52:15
so it doesn't matter what station what position you have. It doesn't matter how messed up or how
good you heard this invitation is open. So long as you are a caller and to Allah you are not a
caller You are the caller even if that's all you ever did, you never made a single activity but in
your life you just decided to turn to a loved one he's still respond with our tech guy.
00:52:17 -->
00:52:23
So he has either done whenever he calls me. Whenever the whenever he doesn't. It's up to him.
00:52:25 -->
00:52:31
This ayah is one of the most beautiful eye out in the Quran about duality when finished with the I
can't
00:52:33 -->
00:52:40
but this is one of the most beautiful parts of dying the Quran. Where is it mentioned in the
conversation about Ramadan?
00:52:42 -->
00:52:52
The conversation about Ramadan is not yet over the next I are also about Ramadan. or sixth about
Ramadan or fasting generally, in the middle of that let's change the subject and made the subject
00:52:53 -->
00:52:55
what is that telling? Tell what is it like telling us?
00:52:56 -->
00:52:59
We're gonna get into Shara coffee.
00:53:00 -->
00:53:00
Right?
00:53:02 -->
00:53:07
What is telling us make a lot of da in Oman
00:53:09 -->
00:53:10
make a lot of dough and Ramadan.
00:53:12 -->
00:53:21
First thing so read the Quran fast. And now that you're doing that as Allah, ask Allah ask Allah,
keep asking, keep asking,
00:53:23 -->
00:53:35
might as well share a little bit with you about what happens next, in the same item. This is our
last side. In every relationship there are two sides there is master and there is slave so far,
Allah said this is what I'm willing to do for you.
00:53:36 -->
00:53:41
This is what I want to do for you. So now the next half of the I will be what are you willing to do
for me?
00:53:42 -->
00:53:44
Because I want a relationship.
00:53:45 -->
00:53:49
Fight yesterday Bulli, then

00:54:14
we should at least try they should at least one Tanaka Tanaka. Derek is wondering if
00:54:16 -->
00:54:36
they should at least try to respond to me. Allah is not asking you to be perfect. Allah says at
least try man. Just try. I am giving you so much All I'm asking for you is try that's it wanted. Do
you want this one to respond to a law responding to a law means what I'm asking you for a couple of
things. I'm just asking you for very little.
00:54:37 -->
00:54:37
Very little.
00:54:39 -->
00:54:48
just respond. And I already told us and you might say or what Allah wants for me. It's too hard.
It's too difficult. That's already taken care of UD the law will be gone.
00:54:52 -->
00:54:55
Nuts already done. Just take the call already.
00:54:58 -->
00:54:59
Let it run out of stock
00:55:00 -->
00:55:21
Too religious to stick your hand in your pocket. Don't be that guy. That guy who's like slot is
going on his phone's ringing. He's got like 50 cent on the on the ringtone, but he's way too
religious to stick his hand in his pocket and turn it off. Because he's hoping hope maybe they'll
blame the guy next to me. Maybe they'll blame the guy next to me. So the woman slot is done, he'll
give some innocent person a dirty look like
00:55:25 -->
00:55:30
Don't be that guy. Just turn it off. Please turn it off.
00:55:31 -->
00:55:33
Even if you just pick it up. I'm in a lecture right now.
00:55:35 -->
00:55:40
You know, some people are amazing. Some people pick it up first row. First of all, they pick it up
and they start talking.
00:55:42 -->
00:55:46
In classes, like 800 people guy in the front row gets a phone call.
00:55:50 -->
00:55:52
I stopped the lecture. I'm just looking at him.
00:55:54 -->

And yesterday, God when you mean we'll be out
00:56:12 -->
00:56:52
for yesterday Budi Will you be they should try to respond to me. And they should continue to believe
in believe that I'm listening to this da you know, a person gets depressed they start thinking I was
not listening to my talk. I keep making dry nothing's changing. At the end of the aisle, Doha puts
what we really need just believe in me. No one listening immediately believe this. I believe what I
was telling you that I love a mission and if you can really believe in that, you will be living a
straight life so that they may be set straight, you will have a guided life you will stay away from
trouble in your life. Allah azza wa jal said fasting gives Taka Ramadan gives gratitude and sets you
00:56:52 -->
00:56:52
straight
00:56:53 -->
00:56:56
three three connections made fasting gives one
00:56:58 -->
00:57:00
Ramadan and wonders what

00:57:11 -->
00:57:46
the straight direction if you if you feel like you don't have guidance in life. You know what you're
missing? The missing girl in life realize those of us that people have dog before and especially
during Ramadan. And after Ramadan. Eliza will make this truly a month of Quran for all of us. May
Allah azza wa jal forgive our shortcomings in previous months of fasting and Allah will give us the
strength, the energy, the concentration, to listen to the beautiful recitation of the Quran the
entire month of Ramadan. Give us give us patience with each other and not allow little things to
distract us from what we're really here to do in the house of a lot. A lot of calamity welcome.
