Abdulfattah Adeyemi – Ramadan Love 15

			Salam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakatu. Peace and blessings be upon each and every one of us is
another fantastic day in the month of Ramadan, most grateful to Allah one spirit alive so far. So
far so good. In the month of Ramadan, we have done a lot of act of ibadah, who have done a lot of
art of worship. Those who woke up at night and woken up at night, those who did a lot of sadaqa who
give charity have done a lot of that those who hunger in the day and they went through some thirsty
periods during the day of Ramadan they have done so those who are able to keep away from having
things to do with their spouses, they have been able to do that in the afternoon of Ramadan by
		

			keeping away with all of this a person will expect that there should be some you know, of he'll
experience, the person will begin to think what I'm supposed to be very high spiritually, I'm
supposed to feel it that Allah is standing here with me. I'm supposed to have some feelings as if
angels are all around me. I'm supposed to feel so great when it comes to a man when it comes to a
lot of good things that they promised that fast in the month of Ramadan is supposed to give. Yes, a
person may feel like that. And you may not feel like that. Whatever thing you feel, it is not a
sieve your deeds have gone in vain. Whatever thing you feel doesn't mean that Allah didn't recognize
		

			and appreciate your efforts, we should understand that growth in the month of Ramadan is really from
within. And this growth can be very slow. Sometimes we may not even notice that we are much
different from when we started. Sometimes we may not even feel it the way we thought we're going to
feel when we are fasted in the month of Ramadan. This is normal, it is natural, you are not the one
in charge of this is Allah is in charge of elevating one when it comes to these spiritual
experiences as a result of fasting. But this is very important. The knowledge that you already have
concerning your closeness to Allah, Allah, the knowledge you already have with regards to the love
		

			that Allah has for you. The knowledge and the awareness that you have already gained in the month of
Ramadan about what other people feel when they are hungry. These are the experiences. These are the
insights that you're supposed to have. Sometimes you experience the month of Ramadan depending on
the kind of site or the way you look at things. For example, there's a different way through which
the B looks at the flower, and the way the housefly looks at the flower. When the housefly is moving
around the house light is more sensitive to seeing what we call an adjuster in impurities, that's
what the housefly will likely see. And the bee will most likely notice the flowers. Everybody sees
		

			what is akin to their natural, everybody sees what is in line commercially to the knowledge they
have of Allah and how things work in the universe. Everybody will see and understand based on the
knowledge that they have. And the Quran says that we live in a yellow moon, when the moon when we
compare the person that knows who the person that doesn't know. In other words, spirituality doesn't
just jump on someone like that. You have to have knowledge, you have to read, you have to learn, you
have to experience you have to probe you have to ask about the things that I want you to do. You
have to do your best, putting your best and do all the best that you can do. With regards to the
		

			knowledge of Allah, there is no substitute for knowledge in Islam. You cannot grow spiritually when
you are ignorant in knowledge, you have to beat make it all go hand in hand. So by the end of it
all, you are going to be much better than somebody who didn't do anything at all. You understand
very well that a zebra is an animal. But with your deep knowledge and understanding of how things
work, you'll be able to know whether the zebra is a black animal with white stripe with a white
unimog black stripe is only those who have knowledge, they understand what Allah is saying. They are
the ones who know the difference between the darkness of their souls and the light to which Allah
		

			called them, you will begin to have knowledge to seek to understand the darkness in your life, the
dark part of your souls, the shadows in which you move. Some of the things you don't want anybody to
know about you some of the things that only you can understand about yourself. And that is why
fasting is so personal. It is so much between you and Almighty Allah The only one that can see the
decade access of our souls. Let us seek more knowledge because knowledge is love. And you can attend
to the love of Almighty Allah. The more you learn and the more you know about Almighty Allah
		

			About how spirituality works. So just relax and take it easy. Do your best and seek knowledge.
Whatever your experiences are, Allah knows it. Allah recognizes it. And Allah appreciates it.
Whatever knowledge you have continued to grow in knowledge and continue to grow in spirit and
continue to grow in closeness to Almighty Allah. Because love is knowledge and knowledge is all
about love. Allah make it easy for us as salam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato.
