Allah.
Allah He was offbeat woman while up
a so module nap fasting is a protection
and in a sound Hadith, a sambal in this suburb
which means fasting is half of Sabah
and Allah subhanaw taala says in NAMA, you have a sabe Runa, agita
on the radio hijab,
those whose
those who are sober those who have patients will be given their full
reward without reckoning, which is an interesting expression, the
fullness of it is the limitlessness of it.
Sober is that which makes us human, there is patience in not
doing certain things like not eating and drinking, and those the
patients and persisting and certain things like staying until
the last record of tearaway for instance, or
not knocking off work early and treating your boss during Ramadan.
So two forms of sub sub in abstaining and sub in doing
things.
Now,
this principle is hard nowadays, because the age seems to be in
such tumult and turmoil.
Nafs seems to be ruling
egotistic rulers everywhere east and west, north and south.
The shocking behavior of the super rich increasing gulf between rich
and poor,
extreme civil wars and population flows. Desperation, dispossession,
confusion, loss of hope, loss of faith, these are rough times.
And where do we turn?
We look at the hum dia. We find this
phrase
this world is too wide. All its charms like a bride. The times are
so dark and bereft of a guide. They hiring the off like the fish
in the tide, and status and silver and gold and my pride.
You made me to praise you and honor your name. And he who obeys
you shall never no blame. My foolish forgetfulness fills me
with shame. Take hold of your servant his spirit reclaim this is
the still fire of money being which is just like a big prayer
for Allah's help. And the times are so dark and bereft of a guide.
We need a shared of machine more than ever. Somebody who can give
us
reliable fatwas not swayed by some governmental agenda or personal
strange egotism or sense of inferiority in the face of Western
demands, but authentic fatwas
and we also need authentic Taqwa as fetter. That's taqwa, we need
the inner guide. And the Mufti won't give us that we need the
*. Why do you find I do have these categories in this age
that is dark and bereft of a guide. So people are confused,
which means consequence number one that we need to be more forgiving
than we would have been in past ages. more forgiving of people who
don't pray, who can't manage Ramadan, who have difficulties
with relationships, etc, etc, and more forgiving because it's hard
for people, where do they go?
Increasingly, religion is sought
on the internet,
which is just a sea of questions and answers and egotistic
babblings. And nobody really knows the authenticity in the Senate of
most of what is said.
And that adds to people's confusion. So this is the month of
forgiveness and forgiving each other and being Helene with each
other. Let's remember in this age, particularly people deserve to be
forgiven, is not made for being judgmental.
The Holy Prophet says I'll let you select to us
in the sound Hadith to his Sahaba in the company's earning When Tara
can income off Rama O'Meara be Halak
was a yeti Allah nurse is a man on Mon ami lobby Oshima, O'Meara be
he Nerja
upon a law,
it says literally you are in an age when if somebody neglect a
10th of what he's been commanded to do, he will be just
Right.
But a time will come upon people when if somebody does a 10th of
what he's been commanded to do, he will be saved.
This is the MISA, and this allows justice. It was easier for them.
They had wrestled loss. I don't know who it was. And I'm walking
before them, leading them in prayer, giving them the fatwa
giving them the air shed, and we're just, we just have Google or
something.
Or libraries, where most of the books, people don't really know
what they are. It's a difficult time. And according to this
prophetic wisdom, that means it should be a time of overlooking
differences or forgiving differences of embracing one
another despite differences, otherwise, the Muslims will just
implode in arguments and how does this work?
How do we find the courage within ourselves, to forgive, to
overlook, to find this TCU to find excuses for people to mess with
all the
through overcoming that part of us that loves to blame, I'd love to
feel superior and operationalizing, that part of us
that actually finds a joy in forgiveness.
It's part of the paradox of the human condition that you can do
things that don't seem to serve you but can be amazingly
pleasurable.
Like
looking after a homeless person, or giving a lot of sadaqa
or spending a long time in prayer, and you feel a kind of joy Yeji to
Halawa to hopefully Alby to sweetness you find in your heart.
So this is part of part of the wisdom of the believer that he
looks for those pleasures. It's not as if religion is about
abandoning pleasures and looking for really hard stuff as if Allah
simply wants us to stagger towards the gates of paradise carrying as
much weight as we can. So unbelievers think this with their
bare hands, that just load us with more and more stuff. And it's as
if we're kind of Egyptians slaves carrying huge blocks of, of stone,
this is not a last intention, he wishes to give us life. Now, your
econ he wishes to give us happiness, to bring us the abode
of solder, and to be saw that happy in this world.
And this is this pleasure that the believer finds is in doing what is
noble and what's beautiful and what gives pleasure to the higher
self, the higher self and not to the neffs. So, it all depends on
remembering Allah of the Corolla and overcoming the ego by whatever
possible means we can, identifying it, seeing it as a mammal Junaid
says he learned
his spiritual way by watching a cat that was observing and
Mousehole. These times the ego pops up zap it because each time
it succeeds, it becomes stronger and fatter to zap it do not give
it any excuse because it is always your enemy. Every single time
whatever story it tells you, it's always your enemy. And it is
always in your interest without exception to zap it and then
you'll feel happiness, not the happiness or the ego promise do
but something that is more real and more lasting.
And then you will find that that things become easier. And this is
part of the blessing of Ramadan. That's as we fast and make this
big effort. Other things kind of become easier. Or at what other
time of the year when we go to the masjid and pray rack after rack
after rack
listening to the noise of the air conditioning and with the crowd.
That's a commitment.
Ramadan fortifies us for that. Why? Because we have this module
header. That's an important lesson when let the ninja huddle, Fina.
And at the end of homeschooling those who struggle for our sake,
Allah says we will guide them to our paths. In other words, you
make this effort. Catch the mouse chased the mouse away overcome the
lower self stab the ego with a * knives Mujahidin as Imam
Junaid says, and things will get easier for you.
All of these things in religion which are quite abundant and
formidable they will become easier. All those boundaries will
become your natural boundaries you won't even think of going near
them. Because you will be given this this joy of
guidance and then there will be inward gifts
Menza yen as our hero will be been Buddha has sent a love or Sarah
era who be more shahada
whoever adorns his outward
Nature by overcoming his ego and complying with the divine
intention for human beings, Allah will make his inward self
beautiful through witnessing.
So Mogera had at least two more shahada is from Abu Ali and dakak
radula. One, what it means is overcome the ego and what you
really are, will start to open its eyes and become itself. Normally
you sitting on it, squashing it throwing your rubbish on it. It's
kind of obscured, but the more shahada, which here means looking
around and not seeing stuff, but seeing what Allah is making and
doing, and his beauty and His Majesty and His commandments in
everything, having a really rich and extraordinary deep view of
things. That's the meaning of more shahada to see not the world, but
creation.
This is the gift of Mujahid. And this is where we should be moving
in Ramadan, to look at things differently, not as something that
trees that you can pick fruit from. But what is the tree who
made the tree? Why is it so orderly? Why does it obey these
extraordinary things? Why is it so beautiful? That's the more shahada
that the Mujahidin leads to So may Allah subhanaw taala in these
difficult times make us forgiving people make us mild people, make
us people who overcome the ego, rather than point to the antics of
the egos of others. And in sha Allah grant us this Moshe header
so that all of our deen and duniya becomes a delight because we just
see a lot of action in all things. barnacle all fecal coliform and
