00:00:00 --> 00:00:01
			Learn Rahmanir Rahim
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:07
			Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa
salatu salam ala say the more
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:12
			saline while he was Safi Baraka
was seldom at the Sleeman the fear
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:14
			on Ilario Medina and Marburg.
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:18
			So nice to be in your midst today.
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:23
			These last 10 days of Ramadan
coming upon us 15 days have
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:27
			passed, and we've moved into the
second half of Ramadan.
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:32
			To begin with, we ask Allah
subhana wa Taala to grant us
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:38
			a better second half than the
first off sha Allah.
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:39
			And
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:43
			may Allah make this Ramadan,
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:47
			the best Ramadan that we've had so
far
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:50
			during the course of our life.
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:56
			You see the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam would do huge
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:57
			amounts of worship
		
00:00:58 --> 00:00:59
			normally as well.
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:05
			So, in Ramadan, how would you tell
that he's doing anything different
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:09
			or more? Because the Prophet
salallahu Salam, his whole life
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:13
			was about worship. Only he had the
baraka that he could do worship
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:18
			and take care of all of his daily
needs. Despite the fact that
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:20
			today, we are
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:24
			very active individuals running
from one job to the next one
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:28
			activity to the next worldly
activities without actually having
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:32
			any time for Allah subhanaw taala.
So when when we talk about
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:37
			busyness in our lives, that
busyness no part of the deal
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:41
			necessarily features in that
busyness. In fact, what happens is
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:42
			that busyness,
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:46
			encroaches on the dean, so we're
so busy, that we can't actually
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:49
			worship we just about managed to
pray sometimes, if we're lucky.
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:53
			That's kind of our nature. Now
with the Prophet salallahu Salam
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:55
			used to do a lot of worship. So
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:59
			what was different than about the
worship of the Prophet salAllahu
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:02
			alayhi wasallam. During Ramadan,
what was different than that's
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:05
			what we're going to look at. There
are three things that are always
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:08
			the last one would increase during
the month of Ramadan.
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:15
			So number one is obviously the
worship the IBA itself, the he
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:18
			would do this much more in Ramadan
than at other times.
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:24
			Number two, the hadith of Shama,
Al Tirmidhi, mentions that the
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:26
			Prophet sallahu son was way more
generous in Ramadan than he ever
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:30
			was at other times, especially
when Gibreel Alayhis Salam used to
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:33
			come, you know, because in
Ramadan, there was a loss, and we
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:39
			used to repeat, revise, and review
all the portions of the Quran that
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:41
			had been revealed until then. So
every year would be a different
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:46
			amount, the last year you did it
twice, right. So when GB laria
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:50
			Salam would come, he would be even
more generous. And you can
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:52
			understand that, you know, when
you're very excited about
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:55
			something, and you've got good
guests or something like that, a
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:57
			person just feels a bit more
generous.
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:02
			And number three, lots of crying
in his dog has
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:07
			an intimate conversation with
Allah subhanho wa taala. That was
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:08
			a very important feature.
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:12
			You have to connect to Allah, this
is the time to connect to Allah,
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:18
			it can't just be just mere outward
expression of devotion, you have
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:21
			to get to the depths of it. That's
what's going to make the
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:24
			difference to really connect
during the month of Ramadan.
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:29
			The one who connects during the
month anytime, really. But Ramadan
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:33
			gives us a good excuse to do that.
Those who connect in the month of
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:36
			Ramadan, their worship is
multiplied and expanded and
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:41
			enhanced many, many fold. So let's
just say that you're doing or
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:43
			you've just done tarawih, or
whatever the case is, you just
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:47
			read some Quran, but you didn't
connect to Allah subhanaw taala in
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:51
			it, you get reward for it. But in
terms of the potency of it, and
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:54
			what it does for our heart, the
Eman that it elevates, it won't be
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:56
			the same as if you had your heart
in it.
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:01
			It makes a massive difference to
really think about what you're
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:02
			doing
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:06
			and be in the mode. That's what's
very important.
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:09
			So
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:13
			Ramadan, the idea is that look,
for a lot of people, it's going to
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:16
			seem like a bit of an
inconvenience. And I can't eat so
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:19
			I can't have my coffee, I feel
drowsy. I'm not productive.
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:24
			To be honest. I mean, even
philosophers of the Buddha some of
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:26
			the Hellenistic philosophers, they
would actually get people to fast
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:28
			when they when they were exams,
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:32
			because it just gave you a clearer
mind rather than stuffing your
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:35
			stuff with all the junk food that
we eat especially right.
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:40
			Of course it needs it needs a mind
it needs that this is beneficial
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:41
			for me and that will help
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:46
			because an empty stomach has
numerous benefits, or a non filled
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:48
			stomach has numerous benefits.
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:54
			This month, is a month of
inconvenience.
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:59
			In the sense that we want to
inconvenience ourselves we want to
		
00:04:59 --> 00:04:59
			dis
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:01
			stabilize ourself
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:06
			because that's how you can have a
fresh beginning. That's how you
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:10
			can make changes. If it's the same
routine is very difficult change
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:13
			but once you've destabilize your
routine, then it's easier to get
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:16
			into a better routine after the
month of Ramadan. That's that's
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:17
			what I see as the purpose.
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:23
			So let us put our bodies and our
soul not just our bodies, our
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:26
			bodies are going through a rough
time. Right? But our souls as well
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:27
			our hearts
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:30
			through a grueling journey during
this month
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:36
			training, tie them out in the path
of Allah subhanaw taala
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:45
			I mean, shouldn't there be times
in our life when we tower tie our
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:47
			bodies out for the sake of Allah?
subhanaw taala
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:53
			I mean, isn't that something that
we should do for our faith that we
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:57
			actually exert ourselves just like
we do for medical school, I mean,
		
00:05:57 --> 00:06:00
			the amount of hours that doctors
have to put in it's crazy
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:04
			but you know that there's a reason
you're doing it which is mashallah
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:09
			a degree a qualification, a
position, hopefully a decent
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:12
			salary, unless you're working for
the NHS. Right?
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:18
			The NHS is a blessing Subhan
Allah. I mean, if you've lived in
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:20
			countries where there is no NHS,
then you will understand
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:25
			there needs to be a time in our
life during the course of the year
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:27
			when we tie our eyes out.
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:29
			By keeping them awake.
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:36
			And if we do that, then in sha
Allah, we will be honored with the
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:38
			beatific vision of Allah subhanaw
taala.
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:44
			You want something you have to
work for it. That's the law of the
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:46
			world. And when it comes to the
deen, it's the same thing.
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:54
			Insha Allah, if our eyes are
awake, in these nights of Ramadan,
		
00:06:56 --> 00:07:00
			we don't have very, very long
nights anyway. But in the nights
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:06
			that we do have, if our eyes are
awake, then Insha Allah, they will
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:09
			have a sweet sleeping in the
grave.
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:16
			No torment, no torture, just full
enjoyment in sha Allah.
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:21
			See, even for businessmen, there
are certain times of the year,
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:24
			certain seasons, when they know
there's going to be a big sale. I
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:26
			mean, in this country, it's
Christmas and other times like
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:30
			this, right? So what do they do
beforehand, they plan for it, they
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:33
			get in more stuff, they bring in
more stuff, they have more
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:37
			products they have, they have
certain items that they sell for a
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:40
			certain price to get people in,
there's a strategy that they use
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:47
			extra supplies, they sleep less
during those days because the it's
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:50
			longer working hours, and the
restocking and everything, they
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:53
			actually sleep less. As those who
go to conferences and other
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:56
			exhibitions and other places like
that, you're going to sleep much
		
00:07:56 --> 00:07:59
			less during that time, their
routine, the eating routine is all
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:04
			messed up as well. I mean, a lot
of them are just maybe managing to
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:07
			find a bit of a time for a snack,
you know, in the midst of all of
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:09
			the business because for them,
it's the money they need to have
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:12
			customer service they need to
serve the customers.
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:19
			They want to rake in as much
profit as possible. They know they
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:22
			can rest later. Because if they
work hard during the season of two
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:25
			weeks or whatever it is, they know
after that, mashallah they can be
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:28
			laughing all the way to the bank.
And for the rest of the year, it's
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:29
			fine.
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:32
			And the same kind of thing for us.
SubhanAllah. If you think of
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:36
			Ramadan that way, this is the time
to profit this is the season. Let
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:39
			me just work hard as much as
possible, and then call us after
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:42
			that. I'm laughing in Sharla to
the grief to Jana, in fact.
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:47
			So now let's move into the last 10
days Laylatul Qadr. In view of all
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:50
			of this that we just spoke about
Lena Touka is the time to even
		
00:08:50 --> 00:08:55
			intensive it these are the major
sales now. These are the run up
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:59
			And subhanAllah This is when the
Prophet salallahu alayhi salam
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:03
			used to himself, increase his
worship and the term that's used
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:09
			in the hadith is shut the limits
are used to tie his lower garment
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:13
			very tightly, could mean a number
of different things. No time for
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:18
			other things now, it is time
purely just to be madly in love
		
00:09:18 --> 00:09:22
			and enter into this kind of
spiritual washing system of the
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:26
			last 10 days going through this
grueling journey and inshallah
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:28
			ended up as purified as possible.
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:33
			One of the greatest things about
Ramadan that makes the last 10
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:36
			days so great, in fact makes the
whole Ramadan so great, is Shadow
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:41
			Ramadan, the lady on Zilla V Hill
Quran Ramadan is the night in
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:44
			sorry is the month in which the
Quran was revealed number one,
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:45
			number two
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:52
			there is an entire surah in the
Quran dedicated to one night
		
00:09:52 --> 00:09:56
			little cuddle. So little Adam and
I will be learning in a shaytani R
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:59
			rajim Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim
in unzila
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:04
			Feel a little other one or other
arkoma Laylatul Qadr.
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:08
			Allah says we reveal the Quran in
this Night of Qadr
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:12
			right to the first heavens and
from the came over 23 years to the
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:13
			promise of laurisilva.
		
00:10:14 --> 00:10:18
			Do you know what later to Kadri?
So the question is this thing like
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:23
			is an expression of showing
astonishment greatness? Do you
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:26
			know what Les little cutter is? Do
you know what we've just done for
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:26
			you?
		
00:10:27 --> 00:10:31
			Little cutter is superior to 1000
months.
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:34
			It's kind of very interesting here
that generally in Arabic, they use
		
00:10:34 --> 00:10:38
			70s and seven hundreds of sevens.
multiplications. But here, it's
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:44
			1000 multiplication of 10. Right?
But it's higher on its superior to
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:48
			1000 months. 1000 months is huge.
How many years is that?
		
00:10:50 --> 00:10:57
			1000 months is what 93 years or
something? Is 8383 years. I mean,
		
00:10:57 --> 00:11:01
			that's kind of our life, if you're
lucky, right? That's kind of the
		
00:11:01 --> 00:11:06
			life if you're lucky. 83 years is
a good decent life. But it's more
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:11
			than that. So Allah left it open
is how you run it superior to
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:17
			now why would you leave it open
like that? 1000 is a lot. But not
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:21
			with Allah things are generally
without number, because he's got
		
00:11:21 --> 00:11:26
			too much to give. He's not
restrictive in what he does and
		
00:11:26 --> 00:11:27
			what he gives.
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:34
			So how you run them, this night
can prove to be superior to 1000
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:39
			months, way more than 1000 months
up to the level of your ambition,
		
00:11:39 --> 00:11:43
			your goal, your intention, and
what you think you can get with
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:47
			Allah subhanaw taala How much do
you think Allah can give you?
		
00:11:49 --> 00:11:54
			How much do you think you can do
to earn Allah's mercy? How much?
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:58
			That's why Allah subhanaw taala
says enter in the Vanya dB, I am
		
00:11:58 --> 00:12:03
			with my seven as he thinks of me.
So the last 10 days, out of which
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:07
			the one day one night is little
quarter, depending on how much you
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:09
			want from Allah, how much you
think you can get from Allah
		
00:12:09 --> 00:12:13
			subhanaw taala that is how much
better than 1000 months it will
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:15
			be. So it could be so many more.
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:17
			It's up to you.
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:22
			That's why Allah allows it for
different people at different
		
00:12:22 --> 00:12:25
			stages in different depending on
their level of connection to Allah
		
00:12:25 --> 00:12:27
			subhanaw taala that's the beauty
of this religion.
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:32
			The spirituality is relative to
your condition, and there's no
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:36
			ending to the spirituality because
Allah is infinite. So you can
		
00:12:36 --> 00:12:39
			always get more that's why nobody
can ever think I'm done. This is
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:45
			my level. I can't go beyond this.
That's a lie. There's way more
		
00:12:45 --> 00:12:47
			you're not you can't limit Allah
subhanaw taala
		
00:12:53 --> 00:12:56
			what happens during this night is
Allah subhanho wa Taala says
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:05
			Laila to Padre Hiram L. Fisher,
tennis the old mother equal to a
		
00:13:05 --> 00:13:08
			rule, fee her b is near rugby him.
		
00:13:09 --> 00:13:15
			Mean Cooley Amarin Salam, or Salam
on here hat Mottola al Fajr. So a
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:17
			number of things are happening
here that Allah subhanaw taala
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:20
			describes. Number one, there are
angels that are going to descend
		
00:13:20 --> 00:13:24
			on in this night. angels descend
on many nights, but when an
		
00:13:24 --> 00:13:27
			abundance of angels descend,
especially angels of mercy and
		
00:13:27 --> 00:13:30
			forgiveness and so on, then that
means it's a good time. It's a
		
00:13:30 --> 00:13:34
			special season. It's a
celebration. So the angels of
		
00:13:34 --> 00:13:35
			Mercy they descend.
		
00:13:37 --> 00:13:40
			In this life, including the rule,
including Jabril, Ali salaam,
		
00:13:41 --> 00:13:45
			when Gibreel comes or something
Alayhis Salam, it's special.
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:50
			Because remember, he came for very
specific things, special missions
		
00:13:50 --> 00:13:54
			with the Prophets generally. So
when he comes or with special
		
00:13:54 --> 00:13:54
			punishment,
		
00:13:55 --> 00:13:58
			so when he's coming along with the
other angels, that means there's
		
00:13:58 --> 00:14:00
			something really good that's
happening in the world at that
		
00:14:00 --> 00:14:01
			time.
		
00:14:03 --> 00:14:08
			Ibaka Thea Rahim Allah He explains
that this verse that the angels
		
00:14:08 --> 00:14:12
			descend during this night because
of the abundance of its blessing
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:14
			this night comes with a lot of
blessing.
		
00:14:16 --> 00:14:19
			So with the blessing and mercy
that's descending from the
		
00:14:19 --> 00:14:21
			heavens, the angels come down with
it.
		
00:14:22 --> 00:14:24
			Just as they come in the Quran is
being recited.
		
00:14:27 --> 00:14:29
			Remember when the Quran is being
recited? I mentioned that the
		
00:14:29 --> 00:14:31
			angels they gathered around this
gathering because they like good
		
00:14:31 --> 00:14:32
			things.
		
00:14:34 --> 00:14:37
			Then there is Salam and peace
until dawn Salam on here had
		
00:14:37 --> 00:14:43
			Mattila al Fajr there is peace
until dawn meaning there is extra
		
00:14:43 --> 00:14:48
			abundant amount of peace during
this night. According to Abner
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:53
			Josie Salam here refers to could
refer there's a difference as to
		
00:14:53 --> 00:14:56
			what exactly Salam refers to here
peace. We're translating as peace
		
00:14:56 --> 00:14:59
			but Salam, what does he refer to?
According to Admiral Josie his
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:03
			says that there can't be any
sickness during this night, no
		
00:15:03 --> 00:15:05
			sickness, no fresh sickness
descends during this time, because
		
00:15:05 --> 00:15:08
			generally men is mentioned that,
you know, when you've got open
		
00:15:08 --> 00:15:12
			vessels at night with food, cover
them, because generally sicknesses
		
00:15:12 --> 00:15:15
			descend at night, maybe that's
something nice for doctors to
		
00:15:15 --> 00:15:18
			know. Right? I mean, I know this
is a spiritual aspect, right?
		
00:15:18 --> 00:15:23
			You'd have to look at it through
empiricism to see how you do that.
		
00:15:24 --> 00:15:26
			To see if there's some bacteria
that's descending or something
		
00:15:26 --> 00:15:31
			like that. But this is a spiritual
aspect that generally diseases
		
00:15:31 --> 00:15:36
			descend during the night. So
during this night, there's nothing
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:39
			like that. It's peace. It's
safety.
		
00:15:40 --> 00:15:43
			No shaytaan has any influence
during this time.
		
00:15:45 --> 00:15:47
			Other say that Salam here means
higher and Baraka, goodness,
		
00:15:47 --> 00:15:49
			virtue and blessing.
		
00:15:53 --> 00:15:57
			Is it because this night is
superior to 1000 Nights, if we do
		
00:15:57 --> 00:16:00
			some worship during that night,
then that's better than 1000
		
00:16:00 --> 00:16:04
			Nights, right that one worship
will be superior to 1000 Nights.
		
00:16:04 --> 00:16:09
			One idea is for the last 10
Nights. Because remember, Laylatul
		
00:16:09 --> 00:16:09
			Qadr.
		
00:16:11 --> 00:16:14
			Its greatest likelihood is on the
27th.
		
00:16:15 --> 00:16:19
			But it could be in any of the odd
nights. In fact, some have even
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:25
			observed it. In one of the even
nights Hamdulillah this year, I
		
00:16:25 --> 00:16:29
			think much of the world is doing
Ramadan on the same day. Right?
		
00:16:29 --> 00:16:33
			Meaning our dates are quite
linked. Because it does add to
		
00:16:33 --> 00:16:37
			this question that when in South
Africa or in Saudi or in
		
00:16:37 --> 00:16:40
			Australia, or other places or
turkey, for that matter, you know,
		
00:16:40 --> 00:16:44
			you've got different so when is
little cuddle, right? It's an odd
		
00:16:44 --> 00:16:47
			night, one place, it has to be an
even night in the other place, if
		
00:16:47 --> 00:16:49
			there's one universal later got
there, and I would assume there is
		
00:16:50 --> 00:16:52
			because it's later to call there
is going to be a special night,
		
00:16:52 --> 00:16:56
			it's not going to be location
wise, it's, it's for the world,
		
00:16:56 --> 00:17:00
			it's for the entire world, right.
That's why maybe people have
		
00:17:00 --> 00:17:04
			observed in odd in even nights. In
fact, some have even observed it
		
00:17:04 --> 00:17:05
			before the 10 days.
		
00:17:08 --> 00:17:12
			Now, that means if you really want
to get it, you're going to have to
		
00:17:12 --> 00:17:16
			stay up every single night. Now,
that's not what necessarily what
		
00:17:16 --> 00:17:17
			Allah wants us to do.
		
00:17:18 --> 00:17:22
			Because you have to work Allah has
built us in a way that nights are
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:23
			for sleeping,
		
00:17:24 --> 00:17:29
			right nights after sleeping. So
it's in abnormal circumstances, or
		
00:17:29 --> 00:17:33
			in unique circumstances that we
will change that routine. for a
		
00:17:33 --> 00:17:37
			particular reason. I haven't over
30 days as very humanly difficult
		
00:17:37 --> 00:17:41
			to do that. So at least for every
night of Ramadan, we are fasting,
		
00:17:41 --> 00:17:45
			we are making Russia, we are
making Fajr and we are doing
		
00:17:45 --> 00:17:49
			tarawih. So in sha Allah, at
least, if it happens, it's very
		
00:17:49 --> 00:17:52
			less likelihood. But if it happens
Alhamdulillah we get that benefit.
		
00:17:53 --> 00:17:56
			In the last 10 days, though, the
progress Ulsan will go into a tick
		
00:17:56 --> 00:18:01
			off, because now he knows that
it's most likely in these last 10
		
00:18:01 --> 00:18:01
			days.
		
00:18:02 --> 00:18:06
			So I want to be in the masjid. So
even when I'm sleeping in the
		
00:18:06 --> 00:18:08
			masjid, in a state of it to golf,
I'm being rewarded, it's a
		
00:18:08 --> 00:18:09
			worship.
		
00:18:10 --> 00:18:13
			So I'm going to get parts of this,
I'm not going to come back with
		
00:18:13 --> 00:18:15
			nothing, I need to get that
jackpot.
		
00:18:16 --> 00:18:19
			So every night we're doing
taraweeh anywhere in the last 10
		
00:18:19 --> 00:18:19
			days.
		
00:18:23 --> 00:18:29
			The odd nights then the greater
have the greatest likelihood of
		
00:18:29 --> 00:18:32
			having the little cuddle. So now
what Allah subhanaw taala wants
		
00:18:32 --> 00:18:37
			from us is that we worship on
every alternate night that the odd
		
00:18:37 --> 00:18:42
			nights, we do extra during that
night. And the next night, we have
		
00:18:42 --> 00:18:46
			rest. This is the beauty of our
Shelia that he wants, it is not
		
00:18:46 --> 00:18:49
			given us an entire 10 Nights at
colors, you know you must just
		
00:18:49 --> 00:18:52
			worship during this night. Of
course those who want to dedicate
		
00:18:52 --> 00:18:56
			themselves into ethical Bismillah.
They can sleep in the daytime. But
		
00:18:56 --> 00:18:59
			normal people who are not going to
be doing it takeoff will have to
		
00:18:59 --> 00:19:05
			work, go to their shifts and so
on. You're going to have to one
		
00:19:05 --> 00:19:08
			night one night one night on one
night off. It doesn't have to be
		
00:19:08 --> 00:19:11
			the entire night and necessary.
You want to do that at least some
		
00:19:11 --> 00:19:14
			part of the night. Of course the
more you do, the greater the
		
00:19:14 --> 00:19:15
			likelihood and the more you get
		
00:19:19 --> 00:19:20
			give you a simple example.
		
00:19:21 --> 00:19:24
			If you just take 10 Set 10 pounds
aside
		
00:19:26 --> 00:19:29
			I mean you can do much more than
that. But if you just said 10
		
00:19:29 --> 00:19:32
			pounds aside, or let's say 100
pounds, right let's say 10 pounds.
		
00:19:33 --> 00:19:38
			And every night in during Maghrib.
After Maghrib Isha you donate a
		
00:19:38 --> 00:19:43
			pound in those last 10 days. One
of those nights is going to be
		
00:19:43 --> 00:19:48
			literal codon. So your pound is
going to be worth more than I
		
00:19:48 --> 00:19:49
			don't even know the number, but
you know what I mean?
		
00:19:51 --> 00:19:54
			Just one pound. These are just
different examples, different
		
00:19:54 --> 00:19:58
			ideas of what we can do. If that
pound is worth so much. Imagine
		
00:19:58 --> 00:19:59
			100 pounds, imagine 10
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:02
			once imagined the other worship
that we do
		
00:20:06 --> 00:20:09
			the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam said about the little
		
00:20:09 --> 00:20:09
			toddler.
		
00:20:10 --> 00:20:14
			So now we don't know when little
cuddle is, right. So the way we
		
00:20:14 --> 00:20:18
			are approaching this is that we're
going to try to do a bit extra in
		
00:20:18 --> 00:20:19
			all the odd nights.
		
00:20:21 --> 00:20:24
			Right in all the odd nights, we're
going to do a bit extra. But on
		
00:20:24 --> 00:20:27
			the 27th, we're going to give it
our full because that has the
		
00:20:27 --> 00:20:29
			greatest so we're going to go
according to likelihoods
		
00:20:31 --> 00:20:33
			according to the possibility.
		
00:20:34 --> 00:20:37
			So on every night, especially the
odd nights, I mean, every night
		
00:20:37 --> 00:20:40
			we're going to do something but
the odd nights we're going to do
		
00:20:40 --> 00:20:44
			special tahajjud extra long
tahajjud we're going to do a bit
		
00:20:44 --> 00:20:45
			more Quran reading.
		
00:20:48 --> 00:20:50
			More than the even nights, we're
going to use the even nice to get
		
00:20:50 --> 00:20:52
			a bit more sleep because you're
gonna have to go to work.
		
00:20:53 --> 00:20:55
			We're not talking about people who
are in a tea coffee, I mean,
		
00:20:55 --> 00:20:57
			that's a whole other category,
Mashallah.
		
00:20:59 --> 00:21:02
			Then what we're going to do is on
the 27th, we're just going to give
		
00:21:02 --> 00:21:04
			it our fullest and to be honest,
in this country, if somebody
		
00:21:04 --> 00:21:07
			cannot wake up the entire night of
the 27th, then that's really
		
00:21:07 --> 00:21:10
			miserable. Because right now
there's only about three, four
		
00:21:10 --> 00:21:12
			hours of night, which is not much
at all.
		
00:21:13 --> 00:21:17
			You split it into three sections.
In one you stand for prayer, the
		
00:21:17 --> 00:21:21
			last part that 100 pot, right, in
the other one you recite Quran and
		
00:21:21 --> 00:21:25
			Tila and in the other one, you do
a scar, vicar do ours.
		
00:21:28 --> 00:21:31
			Those are the three sections that
you that's what that's what is the
		
00:21:31 --> 00:21:35
			most beneficial thing you can do
stand in prayer. As God
		
00:21:35 --> 00:21:39
			remembrance is into us. And the
law of the Quran. Those are the
		
00:21:39 --> 00:21:41
			three things and of course there's
so many other things that you can
		
00:21:41 --> 00:21:41
			do.
		
00:21:44 --> 00:21:46
			The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam said
		
00:21:47 --> 00:21:50
			Abu Huraira the Allahu Anhu
reports sahih al Bukhari and Sahih
		
00:21:50 --> 00:21:54
			Muslim Hadith mon sama Ramadan
Iman and YT Serban warfare Allah
		
00:21:54 --> 00:21:57
			who might have caught them among
them, we have a faster month of
		
00:21:57 --> 00:22:00
			Ramadan with iman and st Serb. All
of their previous sins are
		
00:22:00 --> 00:22:04
			forgiven, referring to the minor
sins here. But if you add Toba to
		
00:22:04 --> 00:22:08
			that, and repentance and remorse
than your major sins are forgiven
		
00:22:08 --> 00:22:11
			as well. That's for fasting during
the month of Ramadan. Then the
		
00:22:11 --> 00:22:14
			Prophet sallallahu sallam said
Iman and add this up I'll explain
		
00:22:14 --> 00:22:15
			that a bit later to you. Woman.
		
00:22:17 --> 00:22:21
			Calm a little Padre Iman and why
the servant will fear Allahumma
		
00:22:21 --> 00:22:25
			Takada women zombie. Whoever
stands during the Leila to cuddle
		
00:22:26 --> 00:22:30
			with iman and anti Serb all of
their previous sins are forgiven.
		
00:22:34 --> 00:22:39
			What does it mean Iman, with iman?
Well with iman means that you do
		
00:22:39 --> 00:22:42
			it with belief in Allah with
conviction in Allah that I'm doing
		
00:22:42 --> 00:22:44
			this for the sake of Allah, this
isn't being done done for any
		
00:22:44 --> 00:22:45
			other reason.
		
00:22:49 --> 00:22:51
			And you believe that Allah will
reward you for this.
		
00:22:53 --> 00:22:55
			You believe that Allah is going to
reward you for this? That's the
		
00:22:55 --> 00:22:56
			Imam
		
00:22:59 --> 00:23:05
			Mata sieben Artesia is our means
to anticipate something to seek
		
00:23:05 --> 00:23:08
			something so you're doing it
because of your faith.
		
00:23:09 --> 00:23:14
			But your what you want from it?
Right? You're doing it because the
		
00:23:14 --> 00:23:16
			demand of your faith for the sake
of Allah but what you want from it
		
00:23:16 --> 00:23:22
			is Allah's pleasure Mortis even?
What do you want from it? One of
		
00:23:22 --> 00:23:24
			the things is that you want from
it Allah's pleasure.
		
00:23:26 --> 00:23:27
			You want to
		
00:23:28 --> 00:23:32
			you're doing it with iman, I'm not
doing it for ostentation, that
		
00:23:32 --> 00:23:34
			people call me righteous and pay
us that they stand so long at
		
00:23:34 --> 00:23:35
			night.
		
00:23:37 --> 00:23:42
			is done purely for the sake of
Allah and the empty sob. I want
		
00:23:42 --> 00:23:46
			purely Allah's Allah's happiness
and satisfaction, and no other
		
00:23:46 --> 00:23:49
			reason I don't want to satisfy
anybody else. This is purely for
		
00:23:49 --> 00:23:54
			Allah subhanaw taala sick, so
nothing to do nothing that betrays
		
00:23:54 --> 00:23:59
			the class. Nothing that violates
the sincerity purely for the sake
		
00:23:59 --> 00:24:00
			of Allah subhanaw taala
		
00:24:01 --> 00:24:04
			All right, he shouted the Allahu
anha asked the Prophet salallahu
		
00:24:04 --> 00:24:04
			Alaihe Salam,
		
00:24:06 --> 00:24:07
			if I see Laylatul Qadr
		
00:24:09 --> 00:24:13
			if I witness it, what should I
say? So both of them said, if you
		
00:24:13 --> 00:24:17
			see the little color, hadith of
ibn Umar Jia until maybe say
		
00:24:17 --> 00:24:19
			Allahu Allah in the careful one,
		
00:24:20 --> 00:24:25
			to Hibbeler for a fact for Annie,
just filled with forgiveness. Oh
		
00:24:25 --> 00:24:30
			Allah, you are the forgiving one.
A fool. You are the
		
00:24:30 --> 00:24:33
			compassionately forgiving one. You
invoked the right name
		
00:24:36 --> 00:24:39
			to HIPAA law for and then you're
telling Allah you love to forgive.
		
00:24:40 --> 00:24:44
			You are the forgiving one, the oft
Forgiving, Compassionate One. And
		
00:24:44 --> 00:24:46
			you love to forgive so forgive me.
		
00:24:47 --> 00:24:49
			That's the way to speak to Allah.
		
00:24:50 --> 00:24:55
			One of the things that is
indicated in this narration, I
		
00:24:55 --> 00:24:58
			shall read the Allahu Allah is
saying if I see a little codon
		
00:24:59 --> 00:24:59
			that means there are
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:03
			signs for later to cover aside
from just fixing the night that is
		
00:25:03 --> 00:25:03
			27.
		
00:25:05 --> 00:25:08
			Otherwise, you said on the 27th
night, what should I do?
		
00:25:09 --> 00:25:13
			Most of us are pretty much just
restricted on the 27th night,
		
00:25:13 --> 00:25:17
			right. But this proves that it
could be on any night as a private
		
00:25:17 --> 00:25:21
			seller, some said, filter Mitsuha.
He said seek it in the odd nights,
		
00:25:22 --> 00:25:24
			but 20 sevens has the greatest
possibility.
		
00:25:26 --> 00:25:29
			The other thing it indicates is
that there are signs for this
		
00:25:29 --> 00:25:34
			night, I'm not going to go into
that. But Allah has witnessed
		
00:25:34 --> 00:25:36
			different things or we're not
going to go and look for those
		
00:25:36 --> 00:25:38
			things. Because if you don't find
that you're going to be detected.
		
00:25:39 --> 00:25:42
			Because what the other mentioned
is that these signs are not
		
00:25:42 --> 00:25:45
			necessarily opened and reveal to
everybody. These are from the
		
00:25:45 --> 00:25:49
			matters of unveilings where Allah
just opens it up to certain
		
00:25:49 --> 00:25:53
			servants of his. So for example,
it's mentioned that it's a very
		
00:25:53 --> 00:25:57
			common night, when the sunrise is
in on that particular morning
		
00:25:57 --> 00:26:01
			after that night, it raises
without any sharp race.
		
00:26:02 --> 00:26:05
			One of the scholars has mentioned
one of the only has mentioned that
		
00:26:05 --> 00:26:09
			he tasted the water of the ocean
during this night. And he found it
		
00:26:09 --> 00:26:13
			to be sweet. Now you go on, you
try to go to the you know, south
		
00:26:13 --> 00:26:16
			end or wherever it is. And if you
don't find it sweet on any one of
		
00:26:16 --> 00:26:19
			those nights, you're going to be
upset. These are not things that
		
00:26:19 --> 00:26:23
			are from the Hadith mentioned that
you will definitely find these
		
00:26:23 --> 00:26:25
			things, these are matters of
unveiling that Allah opened so
		
00:26:25 --> 00:26:28
			differently, he may open up
something or you may see a dream
		
00:26:28 --> 00:26:28
			on that night.
		
00:26:30 --> 00:26:31
			If you took a little nap,
		
00:26:32 --> 00:26:36
			something else it may be just a
very calm night, we've this has
		
00:26:36 --> 00:26:40
			been felt some calmness during
that night, there's just a level
		
00:26:40 --> 00:26:44
			of serenity and tranquility with
the descent with with the angels
		
00:26:44 --> 00:26:44
			descending.
		
00:26:46 --> 00:26:49
			But you have to be in touch with
these realities to be able to make
		
00:26:49 --> 00:26:50
			more sense of them.
		
00:26:51 --> 00:26:55
			I'm not talking about some kind of
major arcane issue. It's just
		
00:26:55 --> 00:26:58
			that, you know, a person has to be
in touch to get the best out of
		
00:26:58 --> 00:27:01
			these things. So our focus is just
to try to
		
00:27:03 --> 00:27:08
			play with the odds as such, to
unfortunately, to invoke that
		
00:27:08 --> 00:27:12
			terminology, right. It's the last
10 dates out of which the odd
		
00:27:12 --> 00:27:15
			knights are the most important out
of which the 27th we're just going
		
00:27:15 --> 00:27:19
			to give it our full and hopefully,
that's why I personally I think of
		
00:27:19 --> 00:27:24
			he is generally going to have it
right. That's the person who sits
		
00:27:24 --> 00:27:26
			outside the Apple store for the
whole night. He's gonna get the
		
00:27:26 --> 00:27:31
			iPhone, not the guy who tries to
go in the morning, when it's all
		
00:27:31 --> 00:27:34
			in it's all over and done with
right? That's that's basically
		
00:27:34 --> 00:27:40
			what it is. So now, Imam no he
mentioned Rahima hula, that in
		
00:27:40 --> 00:27:44
			this night, or in these knights,
these odd knights, as I mentioned,
		
00:27:44 --> 00:27:49
			used to have both a nukes, a yoke
Starfy Herman at that word, he'd
		
00:27:49 --> 00:27:55
			be more immortal Muslimeen now we
mentioned this, don't forget the
		
00:27:55 --> 00:28:00
			major issues affecting the Muslim
ummah today that it is Mr. hab
		
00:28:02 --> 00:28:06
			and preferable during this night
desirable that a person abundantly
		
00:28:06 --> 00:28:12
			does do us for the important
affairs of the believers. For her
		
00:28:12 --> 00:28:18
			share our Salah him, because this
is the salient feature of the
		
00:28:18 --> 00:28:22
			righteous people were able to
Latifi Wherever, wherever, hula
		
00:28:22 --> 00:28:26
			hula irif In worry about the law
Hillary Fein and of the knowing
		
00:28:26 --> 00:28:29
			servants of Allah subhanaw taala
this is what they used to do. They
		
00:28:29 --> 00:28:31
			weren't just selfish during this
night. They used to pray for the
		
00:28:31 --> 00:28:34
			Muslims. And in fact the DUA
mentioned the prophets Allah
		
00:28:34 --> 00:28:37
			mentioned the Hadith mentions, if
you pray for the Muslim, even if
		
00:28:37 --> 00:28:42
			you pray for others, your own
dollar will be accepted. Some even
		
00:28:42 --> 00:28:46
			go to the fact that as many as you
pray for that's how much more your
		
00:28:46 --> 00:28:50
			reward is. So if you pray for all
the Muslims of the world,
		
00:28:51 --> 00:28:54
			then you're just increasing your
chances because our Ummah, though
		
00:28:54 --> 00:28:57
			we are individually in front of
Allah, but in this world we are
		
00:28:57 --> 00:29:00
			together as an ummah, and the
greatness of any other part of the
		
00:29:00 --> 00:29:04
			Ummah is the greatness of ourself.
Look how we're suffering today.
		
00:29:05 --> 00:29:08
			Because of the OMA suffering in
different places, we may not be
		
00:29:08 --> 00:29:12
			suffering as much in terms of
material, availability of goods
		
00:29:12 --> 00:29:16
			and so on. But look how we are
suffering when we hear about our
		
00:29:16 --> 00:29:18
			brand. Doesn't it make you cry?
Doesn't it make you feel sorry?
		
00:29:18 --> 00:29:21
			Sorry for them? Doesn't it make
you thank Allah subhanaw taala
		
00:29:21 --> 00:29:24
			what for what He's given us, but
doesn't it make us concern? So we
		
00:29:24 --> 00:29:25
			need to pray for these things.
		
00:29:27 --> 00:29:31
			So now, to just get into some
practical aspects in our busy
		
00:29:31 --> 00:29:32
			lifestyle.
		
00:29:33 --> 00:29:36
			As I said, the main thing that
that's mentioning all the virtues,
		
00:29:36 --> 00:29:38
			I mean, we have to start off by
invoking from the Quran and the
		
00:29:38 --> 00:29:42
			Sunnah, because that's what is the
basis of all information and
		
00:29:42 --> 00:29:46
			knowledge that we have about these
things, right. Now, we try to just
		
00:29:46 --> 00:29:50
			fit this into our schedules. So
those of us who are able to take
		
00:29:50 --> 00:29:55
			10 days off and go and sit in
Attica, then that is what you
		
00:29:55 --> 00:29:55
			should be doing.
		
00:29:56 --> 00:30:00
			Because you are then dedicating
consecrating yourself
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:03
			For Allah subhanaw taala sake for
that many nights. Now for the
		
00:30:03 --> 00:30:07
			sisters, Masjid won't allow you in
there because generally the
		
00:30:07 --> 00:30:12
			ethical for women is in the house.
How do you do this? You generally,
		
00:30:12 --> 00:30:16
			the idea of this is to designate
the normal prayer area that use I
		
00:30:16 --> 00:30:19
			mean, you must have a favorite
spot for prayer in your house,
		
00:30:19 --> 00:30:21
			right? I mean, generally all women
do that. I mean, people have a
		
00:30:21 --> 00:30:24
			favorite spot for prayer, they
just feel better in that area. Now
		
00:30:24 --> 00:30:27
			if it's a nice small room, then
the entire small room can be
		
00:30:27 --> 00:30:31
			dedicated and consecrated as your
masala as your Masjid. So you
		
00:30:31 --> 00:30:34
			can't go out of the bounds of the
all your ethical rulings will
		
00:30:34 --> 00:30:35
			apply in the
		
00:30:37 --> 00:30:40
			right. If it's a much larger room,
like a big family room, then you
		
00:30:40 --> 00:30:43
			can't designate all of that and
then be going around. And you
		
00:30:43 --> 00:30:46
			know, in that you have to
designate an area, a suitable area
		
00:30:46 --> 00:30:50
			where you can sleep, sit, and eat,
and so on on the side. Of course,
		
00:30:50 --> 00:30:53
			if there's nobody to bring your
food, then you can actually go to
		
00:30:53 --> 00:30:56
			the kitchen to get your foods to
quickly prepare food and get it.
		
00:30:57 --> 00:31:00
			And that's allowed. That's even
allowed for men, if they can't
		
00:31:00 --> 00:31:04
			have food in the masjid somebody
bring it to them, then they have
		
00:31:04 --> 00:31:07
			to go outside to find foods, but
you go to the closest possible
		
00:31:07 --> 00:31:10
			place you eat and you you come
back or you bring it back and you
		
00:31:10 --> 00:31:13
			eat here. That's what you have to
do. Right. So that's the general
		
00:31:13 --> 00:31:16
			rule is that if you cannot do a
decaf, then I would suggest that
		
00:31:16 --> 00:31:19
			we all do at least two nights of
it tick off in the Ramadan.
		
00:31:20 --> 00:31:23
			That's you know, from Friday
makuleke Time to Sunday Mirkovic
		
00:31:23 --> 00:31:24
			time.
		
00:31:25 --> 00:31:29
			Because ethical if they run in 24
hour shifts kind of rather than 24
		
00:31:29 --> 00:31:33
			hours from sunset to sunset. So
you start so you get into Attica
		
00:31:33 --> 00:31:37
			from the endovasal time before the
Maghrib. As soon as you break your
		
00:31:37 --> 00:31:40
			fast, you're unethical. Because in
this ethical, you should also be
		
00:31:40 --> 00:31:42
			fasting and you're going to be
fasting anyway. It's Ramadan,
		
00:31:42 --> 00:31:42
			right?
		
00:31:43 --> 00:31:47
			This will be anaphylactic of
you'll be intending knuffel. So
		
00:31:47 --> 00:31:50
			you will then spend your night in
as much worship as possible, spend
		
00:31:50 --> 00:31:54
			some time sleeping in the daytime,
then get up and carry on. The main
		
00:31:54 --> 00:31:57
			thing during takeoff is that this
is not a time to meet with the
		
00:31:57 --> 00:31:59
			other people who are there in the
masjid.
		
00:32:02 --> 00:32:05
			Unfortunately, many of our
articles, especially the big ones,
		
00:32:05 --> 00:32:08
			unless they're very, very strongly
disciplined, like the one in
		
00:32:08 --> 00:32:09
			Leicester, for example, right?
		
00:32:11 --> 00:32:15
			They get a bit out of hand because
you have so many people and people
		
00:32:15 --> 00:32:18
			get a bit bored. Or they get there
and then they realize how tough is
		
00:32:18 --> 00:32:22
			they start feeling homesick,
right? Because unfortunately, this
		
00:32:22 --> 00:32:25
			is our reality you start feeling
homesick, right? Because we're so
		
00:32:25 --> 00:32:28
			attached to our our possessions
that when you're in the masjid,
		
00:32:28 --> 00:32:32
			you've only got a bag of stuff.
And you do get a bit attached. So
		
00:32:32 --> 00:32:35
			you start feeling a bit lonely.
And then you want to speak to
		
00:32:35 --> 00:32:37
			someone but that's not what you're
here for. You're supposed to come
		
00:32:37 --> 00:32:40
			here to speak to Allah subhanaw
taala. So at least the two nights
		
00:32:40 --> 00:32:42
			is do it for two nights, if not
there at least one so even the
		
00:32:42 --> 00:32:46
			sisters dedicate a night or two
nights in your house where you can
		
00:32:46 --> 00:32:50
			do that. Organize it with the rest
of the family, right? And Masha
		
00:32:50 --> 00:32:53
			Allah say I will make lots of dua
for you. Right, I'm going to do to
		
00:32:53 --> 00:32:55
			take off and I'm going to make
lots of dua for all of you. So you
		
00:32:55 --> 00:32:58
			can serve me my food and
everything like that as well. And
		
00:32:58 --> 00:33:03
			inshallah it's incentivized right,
for everything. But the main thing
		
00:33:03 --> 00:33:05
			is that these last nights
		
00:33:06 --> 00:33:10
			is our final opportunity. That's
the most important thing. It's our
		
00:33:10 --> 00:33:12
			final opportunity. It's the last
one.
		
00:33:14 --> 00:33:17
			Just to give you an idea that
there was a brother, that I know
		
00:33:18 --> 00:33:21
			who was involved in a sin Try as
he might he couldn't get out of
		
00:33:21 --> 00:33:22
			it.
		
00:33:23 --> 00:33:27
			Try as he might, he can get out of
it. But this one Ramadan, he just
		
00:33:27 --> 00:33:33
			really said, That's it. He felt
for his sins, he felt bad. Like he
		
00:33:33 --> 00:33:39
			really magnified them in his mind
that no, I must stop this. And
		
00:33:39 --> 00:33:42
			when you do that in your mind, and
you call on to Allah to help you,
		
00:33:43 --> 00:33:45
			the help will be coming because
your heart is broken. You're
		
00:33:45 --> 00:33:53
			thinking what uh, I am shackled to
the ground. I can't prosper. I
		
00:33:53 --> 00:33:58
			can't progress. I am shackled by
these vices. Have I been shackled
		
00:33:58 --> 00:34:04
			with the shackles of deprivation?
Is Allah unhappy with me? Has he
		
00:34:04 --> 00:34:06
			forsaken me? Is the question.
		
00:34:07 --> 00:34:11
			So he really felt for it. Now you
can only get over
		
00:34:12 --> 00:34:16
			proper repentance and stop what
we're doing by this kind of an
		
00:34:16 --> 00:34:20
			idea because if we don't magnify
our sin in our minds, a shaytaan
		
00:34:21 --> 00:34:25
			insignia makes it in certain sound
insignificant in our minds. And
		
00:34:25 --> 00:34:27
			thus we just carry on doing them.
		
00:34:28 --> 00:34:32
			So the idea is to magnify them so
badly in our mind that we feel
		
00:34:32 --> 00:34:35
			that we need help and assistance
and we need to get out of them.
		
00:34:37 --> 00:34:40
			So this person tried very hard
during that Ramadan and then he
		
00:34:40 --> 00:34:42
			said mashallah, he developed such
an immunity,
		
00:34:43 --> 00:34:46
			that for about seven months
afterwards, he didn't even feel
		
00:34:46 --> 00:34:49
			like doing that sin. It wasn't
like he felt like doing really had
		
00:34:49 --> 00:34:52
			to withhold himself. He didn't
even feel like he got immunity.
		
00:34:52 --> 00:34:53
			You wouldn't even catch a cold.
		
00:34:54 --> 00:34:57
			You know, if you take your vitamin
C's and all these other herbal
		
00:34:57 --> 00:34:59
			things and keep fit and so on,
then inshallah you're
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:04
			and hopefully your hay fever, your
your your allergies, whatever, you
		
00:35:04 --> 00:35:07
			know, they will disappear or you
will get them less
		
00:35:08 --> 00:35:12
			than if you're very prone to them
how do you immunize yourself? So
		
00:35:12 --> 00:35:14
			this was Ramadan is the time to
immunize yourself.
		
00:35:15 --> 00:35:20
			It really works. Ramadan Hajj,
these are two times because here
		
00:35:20 --> 00:35:24
			you've got the time and the place.
And in hedge, you've got the same
		
00:35:24 --> 00:35:26
			kind of bracket and mercy that's
coming down.
		
00:35:27 --> 00:35:30
			You have to take advantage of the
environment during this time.
		
00:35:31 --> 00:35:34
			And the excuse from Allah subhanaw
taala that whoever wants I'll
		
00:35:34 --> 00:35:34
			give.
		
00:35:36 --> 00:35:39
			Then after he said about after
seven months, he started losing
		
00:35:39 --> 00:35:43
			that immunity. And he started
feeling the pressures.
		
00:35:44 --> 00:35:48
			So then after two years or so he
did it again. He messed up the
		
00:35:48 --> 00:35:51
			previous year, but he did again.
And he went into aitikaf this time
		
00:35:51 --> 00:35:54
			and who you really pray to Allah
subhanaw taala. And he said this
		
00:35:54 --> 00:35:56
			time he worked for nine months for
me.
		
00:35:57 --> 00:36:00
			And then he said then I started
losing that immunity. But then I
		
00:36:00 --> 00:36:03
			managed to pull myself through by
thinking I've only got two months
		
00:36:03 --> 00:36:08
			left 910 11 And then it's Ramadan.
If I can take it to Ramadan, I
		
00:36:08 --> 00:36:10
			would have had a sin free year.
		
00:36:12 --> 00:36:14
			That's a massive, massive
achievement. That's why I believe
		
00:36:14 --> 00:36:18
			Ramadan is for that. It's for
gaining that Taqwa. And that Taqwa
		
00:36:18 --> 00:36:19
			is that immunity
		
00:36:21 --> 00:36:24
			so that you don't even feel like
doing things afterwards. But
		
00:36:24 --> 00:36:27
			think, what are the wrong things
I'm doing because if we don't even
		
00:36:27 --> 00:36:31
			think what we're doing is wrong.
That's why one of our devices, Oh
		
00:36:31 --> 00:36:35
			Allah, forgive us, those things
that have become part of our life
		
00:36:35 --> 00:36:38
			that we don't even think they're
wrong anymore. We've justified it
		
00:36:38 --> 00:36:40
			in our mind, some person justified
it for us,
		
00:36:42 --> 00:36:45
			they're the most critical, because
we don't even think they're wrong.
		
00:36:45 --> 00:36:48
			That's really bad ignorance,
compound ignorance.
		
00:36:50 --> 00:36:53
			So that's what we want to do
during this time of Ramadan.
		
00:36:55 --> 00:37:02
			Now, when a person is working,
what I believe is, if you have a
		
00:37:02 --> 00:37:05
			goal in mind of what you want to
do and finish in Ramadan,
		
00:37:06 --> 00:37:09
			then you will be able to spend
your time much better. You won't
		
00:37:09 --> 00:37:12
			waste any time. If it's like,
okay, I'll just do this, I'll do a
		
00:37:12 --> 00:37:16
			bit of Quran he'll do. There's no
focus of how much Quran you're
		
00:37:16 --> 00:37:20
			going to do, how many how often
you're going to do how many Kadar
		
00:37:20 --> 00:37:24
			praise you're going to make up
then you're not going to get end
		
00:37:24 --> 00:37:26
			up getting because we're just
generally naturally lazy.
		
00:37:27 --> 00:37:30
			But you know, if you have in your
mind that I want to finish to
		
00:37:30 --> 00:37:35
			Quran this Ramadan, if that's big
for you always aim higher. Then
		
00:37:35 --> 00:37:39
			you will find every time you have
if you're at work between
		
00:37:39 --> 00:37:44
			patients, right or during your
lunch break, or during other times
		
00:37:44 --> 00:37:47
			and you can just go out on social
use, grab your Quran, pick up your
		
00:37:47 --> 00:37:49
			phone, whatever it is, put your
Quran on and read read, read,
		
00:37:49 --> 00:37:53
			read, write, if you've got a goal,
you will do that. If you don't
		
00:37:53 --> 00:37:55
			have a goal, you're gonna think
well okay, I'll read a bit, I'll
		
00:37:55 --> 00:37:57
			read a bit, I've read enough I've
read you know, that's the kind of
		
00:37:57 --> 00:38:00
			thought but I want to finish to
Quran. Okay, I've got three left,
		
00:38:00 --> 00:38:03
			I've got you know, this match that
I've got this much left. That's
		
00:38:04 --> 00:38:07
			what we need to get. Give yourself
if you don't have a goal yet. Give
		
00:38:07 --> 00:38:09
			yourself a goal. You already know
how much you think you can do.
		
00:38:10 --> 00:38:14
			Make your goal a bit longer than
that a bit bigger than that. And
		
00:38:14 --> 00:38:18
			then after that, see that it
doesn't help you. It's a challenge
		
00:38:18 --> 00:38:20
			for yourself. We have to remove
the sloth.
		
00:38:21 --> 00:38:23
			We have to be active in this
regard.
		
00:38:25 --> 00:38:28
			So again, we're going into the
last 10 days, we ask Allah subhana
		
00:38:28 --> 00:38:32
			wa Tada to make them more
fruitful, more beneficial than all
		
00:38:32 --> 00:38:33
			the 20 days before it.
		
00:38:35 --> 00:38:38
			And may Allah subhanaw taala
really immunized us during this
		
00:38:38 --> 00:38:43
			time from all the wrongs that we
that basically the challenges that
		
00:38:43 --> 00:38:48
			we have, and may Allah give a
blessing to the Ummah we make a
		
00:38:48 --> 00:38:51
			short dua inshallah and then I'm
going to take your questions in
		
00:38:51 --> 00:38:55

lot of me are you yeah for younger

forgiveness of Allah cause your
		
00:39:13 --> 00:39:16

			Mercy of Allah these nights or
nights of mercy. These days are
		
00:39:20 --> 00:39:24
			days of Mercy of Allah. We want to
be completely infused and drenched

			in this mercy of Allah. We want
your forgiveness of Allah soften
		
00:39:29 --> 00:39:33

excuse to be forgiven. Oh Allah,
		
00:39:33 --> 00:39:37
			we ask that you assist us and help
us in disregard of Allah grant us
		
00:39:38 --> 00:39:42
			goals and ambitions that benefit
us in the hereafter. Oh Allah the
		
00:39:42 --> 00:39:47
			same effort that we placed behind
our occupations behind our work of
		
00:39:47 --> 00:39:50
			Allah all of these things. Oh
Allah, we ask that you give us a
		
00:39:50 --> 00:39:54
			similar diligence when it comes to
our faith of Allah. This is a
		
00:39:54 --> 00:39:55
			month in which
		
00:39:56 --> 00:39:59
			you take even the greatest sinners
and you grant them some of the
		
00:39:59 --> 00:40:00
			great
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:04
			It just rewards if they give you
an excuse Oh Allah we are also in
		
00:40:04 --> 00:40:07
			that boat to Allah we also ask you
to also turn your attention to us.
		
00:40:08 --> 00:40:11
			Oh Allah remove the shackles of
deprivation from us. Oh Allah
		
00:40:11 --> 00:40:15
			remove the bonds of slavery to
others in this month in this month
		
00:40:15 --> 00:40:19
			from us, oh Allah we will only
want to be your slave of Allah we
		
00:40:19 --> 00:40:22
			only want to be your slaves of
Allah we ask You for
		
00:40:23 --> 00:40:27
			Your, your gentleness, your
clemency Oh ALLAH your forgiving
		
00:40:27 --> 00:40:31
			and your forbearance of Allah We
asked you forgiveness from all of
		
00:40:31 --> 00:40:34
			the sins that we have committed in
the openness of day and then
		
00:40:34 --> 00:40:38
			darkness is of the night of Allah
We asked you forgiveness from all
		
00:40:38 --> 00:40:42
			of those sins that we remember, of
Allah, those that we did enjoy. Oh
		
00:40:42 --> 00:40:46
			Allah, we ask you, that you take
this enjoyment away from us, Oh
		
00:40:46 --> 00:40:47
			Allah, that you
		
00:40:48 --> 00:40:52
			make your disobedience hated in
our hearts. Oh Allah that you make
		
00:40:52 --> 00:40:57
			these things totally distant from
us. You immunize us against them.
		
00:40:58 --> 00:41:01
			Oh Allah, we ask that you make
this easy for us. Oh Allah, how
		
00:41:01 --> 00:41:04
			long are we going to struggle with
our faith? Oh Allah, we've been
		
00:41:04 --> 00:41:08
			struggling against the shaytaan of
Allah, we want you to take care of
		
00:41:08 --> 00:41:12
			him for us. Oh Allah that you
suffice us from him? Oh Allah when
		
00:41:12 --> 00:41:15
			little children when they learn
how to walk, and they start
		
00:41:15 --> 00:41:19
			walking. Then after they get tired
of walking, they tell their
		
00:41:19 --> 00:41:23
			parents to pick them up. And the
father or mother picks that child
		
00:41:23 --> 00:41:26
			up lovingly of Allah we are also
not tired of fighting against the
		
00:41:26 --> 00:41:30
			shaytaan of Allah. How long are we
going to continue with this? We
		
00:41:30 --> 00:41:33
			make Toba in the night and we fail
in the morning. We make Toba in
		
00:41:33 --> 00:41:36
			the morning and we fail at night.
Oh Allah we ask that you use the
		
00:41:36 --> 00:41:40
			faces from the shaytaan and you
pick us up and you carry us. Oh
		
00:41:40 --> 00:41:45
			Allah we ask you to preserve our
iman, our iman is our most
		
00:41:45 --> 00:41:50
			preserved assets is our most
precious assets of Allah. Day by
		
00:41:50 --> 00:41:53
			day there are so many people out
there who are losing their faith,
		
00:41:53 --> 00:41:57
			who are born even in Muslim
households. And they are losing
		
00:41:57 --> 00:42:00
			their faith. Oh ALLAH There are
many charities many challenges and
		
00:42:00 --> 00:42:04
			narratives out there. of Allah We
ask that you make this Ramadan a
		
00:42:04 --> 00:42:08
			month of mercy for all of us and
our Allah preserve our faith of
		
00:42:08 --> 00:42:12
			Allah help us and help the entire
Muslim Ummah of Allah protect us
		
00:42:12 --> 00:42:17
			from what the ignorant among us
do, from what the extreme among us
		
00:42:17 --> 00:42:22
			do. Oh Allah, we ask that you give
us the ability to really express
		
00:42:22 --> 00:42:25
			our faith in a way that people
really understand the beauty of
		
00:42:25 --> 00:42:30
			it. We ask that you make us true
believers, true manifestations of
		
00:42:30 --> 00:42:33
			the prophetic beauty of Allah we
asked you to make us true but
		
00:42:34 --> 00:42:37
			manifestations of the prophetic
beauty so that people can turn to
		
00:42:37 --> 00:42:42
			Islam just by seeing us. Oh Allah.
We ask you help for the entire
		
00:42:42 --> 00:42:45
			Muslim Ummah to remove their
subjugation to remove their
		
00:42:45 --> 00:42:49
			oppression. Oh Allah help us and
assist us this Ramadan we ask that
		
00:42:49 --> 00:42:53
			you make it better than any
Ramadan before it oh Allah this
		
00:42:53 --> 00:42:56
			Ramadan make it more potent and
more beneficial to us than any
		
00:42:56 --> 00:43:00
			Ramadan before it. Oh Allah allow
us many more Ramadan's but our
		
00:43:00 --> 00:43:04
			Allah allow us after every Ramadan
to be better than we were before
		
00:43:04 --> 00:43:07
			that Ramadan. Oh Allah so when we
come to meet you, we have much to
		
00:43:07 --> 00:43:13
			show and that you want to and you
want to you want to meet us and we
		
00:43:13 --> 00:43:16
			want to meet you. Oh Allah make
the best of our life, that final
		
00:43:16 --> 00:43:20
			part of our life, make the best
part of our deeds, the final deeds
		
00:43:20 --> 00:43:24
			and oh Allah make the best of our
days the day that we stand in
		
00:43:24 --> 00:43:28
			front of you. Oh Allah bless all
of those who are here listening,
		
00:43:28 --> 00:43:31
			oh Allah who are attending, oh
Allah grant them all of their
		
00:43:31 --> 00:43:34
			permissible needs or Allah grant
them success in their work and in
		
00:43:34 --> 00:43:38
			their endeavors. And Allah grant
them sufficiency with the halal
		
00:43:38 --> 00:43:43
			against the Haram and Allah make
them only indebted to you. Oh
		
00:43:43 --> 00:43:47
			Allah make them independent of all
else. Oh Allah grant us Baraka in
		
00:43:47 --> 00:43:50
			what you have given us. Oh Allah
grant us baraka and blessing in
		
00:43:50 --> 00:43:54
			what you have given us and our
Allah bless us in these remaining
		
00:43:54 --> 00:43:58
			nights and days of Ramadan and
make it further facilitate ease
		
00:43:58 --> 00:44:01
			for us and worship for us during
this time. Oh Allah, we ask you
		
00:44:01 --> 00:44:04
			finally to send your abundant
blessings on our messenger
		
00:44:04 --> 00:44:07
			Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa
salam and grant us his company in
		
00:44:07 --> 00:44:10
			the hereafter somehow not be
caught up in is that your mIRC
		
00:44:10 --> 00:44:13
			phone was salam when Allah Marisa
Nina and hamdulillahi rabbil
		
00:44:13 --> 00:44:17
			Alameen Can you do it go for a few
hours or does it only have to be
		
00:44:17 --> 00:44:20
			for a few days? Okay, that's a
good question.
		
00:44:23 --> 00:44:27
			So the first question we have is
can you do tick off just for a few
		
00:44:27 --> 00:44:30
			hours or a few moments? So yeah,
we have a few different types of
		
00:44:30 --> 00:44:33
			anti golf. The first one is the
Sunnah Attica which is for the
		
00:44:33 --> 00:44:35
			entire last 10 days from the 21st.
		
00:44:36 --> 00:44:41
			Night, which is the mockery of the
20th day until the until eat
		
00:44:41 --> 00:44:44
			strikes, right? That one's a
sunnah ethical, so you will get
		
00:44:44 --> 00:44:46
			the Sunnah of the Prophet
sallallahu Sallam however,
		
00:44:46 --> 00:44:47
			anything less than that.
		
00:44:49 --> 00:44:52
			Everything anything less than that
is anaphylactic. Often that can be
		
00:44:52 --> 00:44:55
			for a few minutes as well. In
fact, when you go into the masjid,
		
00:44:56 --> 00:44:59
			then you should intend that tick
off so you get an extra reward for
		
00:44:59 --> 00:45:00
			doing that.
		
00:45:00 --> 00:45:03
			But, but of course, if you're
going in there with a proper
		
00:45:03 --> 00:45:05
			intention for it to go for the one
night, that's fine for a few
		
00:45:05 --> 00:45:08
			hours, that's also fine. So if you
want to just spend some nights
		
00:45:08 --> 00:45:11
			like the odd nights in the masjid,
that's completely fine you can do
		
00:45:11 --> 00:45:13
			ethic off in those nights in the
masjid, you'll get an extra reward
		
00:45:18 --> 00:45:23
			isn't necessary to sleep before
tahajud. It's not necessary to
		
00:45:23 --> 00:45:27
			sleep, though, especially in those
nights where you want to spend the
		
00:45:27 --> 00:45:30
			entire night. It's not necessary
to sleep
		
00:45:32 --> 00:45:35
			on a normal night, you know, to
make it
		
00:45:36 --> 00:45:39
			a moderate lifestyle that we have.
And we don't go into access
		
00:45:39 --> 00:45:41
			because you know, there was some
Sahaba came to us and said that
		
00:45:41 --> 00:45:44
			we're going to pray the entire
night and not sleep. And the
		
00:45:44 --> 00:45:47
			person says, No, you don't I sleep
as well. The promise the loss, I'm
		
00:45:47 --> 00:45:50
			used to sleep. So that's why it's
better to do that. But I would
		
00:45:50 --> 00:45:54
			like to mention on a normal day as
well, if you are unable to wake up
		
00:45:54 --> 00:45:58
			before at tahajjud time, then at
least do tahajjud before you go to
		
00:45:58 --> 00:46:02
			sleep as like the last thing that
you do, or even after Isha, at
		
00:46:02 --> 00:46:05
			least it will count towards the
100 with that intention is not
		
00:46:05 --> 00:46:08
			going to be the same as the other
200. But it is the 100 at the end
		
00:46:08 --> 00:46:12
			of the day. But on these main
nights you don't have to sleep. So
		
00:46:12 --> 00:46:15
			it's a fallacy to believe you must
sleep, it's just better to sleep.
		
00:46:16 --> 00:46:18
			But on the night when you want to
stay awake the entire night. It's
		
00:46:18 --> 00:46:21
			a special night, then no, you
don't need to sleep before them.
		
00:46:22 --> 00:46:28
			What is the sub? The sub comes
from the word Hey sub. So hisab
		
00:46:28 --> 00:46:33
			means accounting reckoning. So
essentially, it's a calculation
		
00:46:33 --> 00:46:37
			you're doing. I'm doing this for
this purpose. Right, you know, a
		
00:46:37 --> 00:46:41
			calculation you're doing. And
essentially here, why are you
		
00:46:41 --> 00:46:44
			fasting? Why are you standing in
prayer? You could have multiple
		
00:46:44 --> 00:46:47
			reasons. And I believe that's why
the professor hasn't kept it
		
00:46:47 --> 00:46:52
			general Artesia been as a natira
as a as a common term. The reason
		
00:46:52 --> 00:46:56
			is that you can think everything
you want, Oh Allah, I want your
		
00:46:56 --> 00:46:59
			satisfaction. I want you to be
happy with me. Oh Allah when your
		
00:46:59 --> 00:47:03
			reward, I want gender from you. So
whatever calculation you want to
		
00:47:03 --> 00:47:06
			make, again, is open. That's the
Sharia. That's the way it does
		
00:47:06 --> 00:47:07
			things. Open it up to you.
		
00:47:08 --> 00:47:11
			That's why it's not Thorburn
		
00:47:12 --> 00:47:15
			as urine, or something like this
like only for reward, but it's
		
00:47:15 --> 00:47:18
			whatever you want from Allah
subhanaw taala I'm doing this
		
00:47:18 --> 00:47:22
			because I want your mercy. I want
this because I want you to make me
		
00:47:22 --> 00:47:27
			one of your only one of your close
ones your friends. Multi sub have
		
00:47:27 --> 00:47:30
			use Have you a formula to connect
Allah subhanaw taala on a
		
00:47:30 --> 00:47:30
			spiritual level.
		
00:47:33 --> 00:47:35
			Oh, mashallah, from Dr ways, all
right.
		
00:47:38 --> 00:47:41
			The general formula that we
mentioned for connecting with
		
00:47:41 --> 00:47:44
			ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada on an
ongoing basis, regular basis is
		
00:47:44 --> 00:47:45
			very simple.
		
00:47:46 --> 00:47:50
			100 is still far in the morning
and 100 in the evening. This takes
		
00:47:50 --> 00:47:52
			away the sins that we've done
since the previous time. That's,
		
00:47:53 --> 00:47:57
			you know, you can understand that
right. Then, since we've purified
		
00:47:57 --> 00:48:00
			ourselves now using the istikhara,
stuffing Allah seeking
		
00:48:00 --> 00:48:01
			forgiveness, then we want to
		
00:48:02 --> 00:48:06
			invoke some blessings. We want to
be blessed adorned. So you do
		
00:48:06 --> 00:48:09
			salata. masuleh Salah some 100
times morning, 100 times evening.
		
00:48:10 --> 00:48:13
			So now Alhamdulillah you got a lot
going for you. And then some tilaa
		
00:48:13 --> 00:48:16
			of the Quran because that brings
the light into the eyes, the light
		
00:48:16 --> 00:48:20
			of the heart, the removal of cases
huge baraka and blessings. It's
		
00:48:20 --> 00:48:23
			our lifeline. So you read some
Quran even if it's a few pages
		
00:48:23 --> 00:48:25
			outside right in Ramadan, you must
increase because Ramadan is the
		
00:48:25 --> 00:48:29
			month of the Quran, you must
increase right? And then after
		
00:48:29 --> 00:48:30
			that you spend a few moments
		
00:48:31 --> 00:48:35
			thinking about Allah subhanho wa
Taala and meditation is just you
		
00:48:35 --> 00:48:39
			and Allah. Right Jerry we we
should be doing this in solid but
		
00:48:39 --> 00:48:42
			unfortunate ocelots aren't to that
level. Right? So we just sit down
		
00:48:42 --> 00:48:44
			and we just do a maraca a
meditation.
		
00:48:47 --> 00:48:53
			And the other thing is, you just
think about Allah subhanho wa
		
00:48:53 --> 00:48:55
			Taala as much as possible
throughout the day, just try to
		
00:48:55 --> 00:48:58
			think What does Allah want me to
do in this it by reading the
		
00:48:58 --> 00:49:03
			Mazoon Dwars learning them, it
will get us focused in sha Allah,
		
00:49:03 --> 00:49:06
			this is this is empirical. If you
do this properly, for three
		
00:49:06 --> 00:49:07
			months, you will be sorted.
		
00:49:08 --> 00:49:11
			And remember all of these things,
they need to be brought into the
		
00:49:11 --> 00:49:15
			lifestyle. They have to be forced
into it in the beginning for you
		
00:49:15 --> 00:49:19
			then to be able to continue
because it's very difficult,
		
00:49:19 --> 00:49:23
			otherwise, your self is going to
protest, all the other competing
		
00:49:23 --> 00:49:27
			activities of the day are going to
protest. So now the way to bring
		
00:49:27 --> 00:49:31
			it in is to dis have so much
discipline that for approximately
		
00:49:31 --> 00:49:35
			30 to 40 days over a month is
generally 14 days is a maturity
		
00:49:35 --> 00:49:39
			period. Right? It's a maturity
period, right? It just if you do
		
00:49:39 --> 00:49:43
			something for that long, then it
will become part of your life and
		
00:49:43 --> 00:49:43
			accepted.
		
00:49:45 --> 00:49:47
			Then after that you will actually
feel bad if you don't do it,
		
00:49:47 --> 00:49:49
			you'll feel something is missing
because now
		
00:49:51 --> 00:49:56
			your body has accepted it. Right.
It's like an organ, a little
		
00:49:56 --> 00:49:59
			kidney some they just get
rejected. But once it gets
		
00:50:00 --> 00:50:04
			working there inshallah your body
accepts it. Right. So you're our,
		
00:50:05 --> 00:50:10
			our entire day to day activities
are very competitive, they don't
		
00:50:10 --> 00:50:12
			want anything, especially if it's
to do with Allah because they
		
00:50:12 --> 00:50:15
			don't see any benefit. There's
nothing in the knifes for that. If
		
00:50:15 --> 00:50:17
			you're going to eat something
you're going to go out to eat,
		
00:50:17 --> 00:50:20
			you're going to go and get a
better job, whatever the knifes
		
00:50:20 --> 00:50:23
			has something to do with that, and
that's why it helps, and it's
		
00:50:23 --> 00:50:28
			encouraging. That's why you can
waste time on YouTube. You can
		
00:50:28 --> 00:50:30
			waste time with a movie, you can
waste time talking to others
		
00:50:30 --> 00:50:34
			because the loves loves it. But
you can't waste time doing a
		
00:50:34 --> 00:50:38
			bother because the loves hates it.
So it protests. That's why we need
		
00:50:38 --> 00:50:42
			to force an Ramadan the best time
to put that routine in because we
		
00:50:42 --> 00:50:47
			suck out with we're subjugating
the knifes because of the fasting
		
00:50:47 --> 00:50:49
			we are depriving a food drink and
*
		
00:50:50 --> 00:50:54
			for a number of hours during the
day. So that's why it's going to
		
00:50:54 --> 00:50:55
			be very beneficial.
		
00:50:58 --> 00:51:00
			That we can suppress it from other
harms and wrongs as well.
		
00:51:02 --> 00:51:04
			There are times when we make doba.
And then unfortunately do the same
		
00:51:04 --> 00:51:07
			thing again and again, despite
best intentions, what can we do so
		
00:51:07 --> 00:51:11
			that we it does not count as
defined. So if you fail again, and
		
00:51:11 --> 00:51:14
			again, as long as you are sincere
each time that I don't want to do
		
00:51:14 --> 00:51:17
			it again, even though you think
you're going to do it again
		
00:51:17 --> 00:51:19
			tomorrow. But you don't want to at
that moment in time, it's the
		
00:51:19 --> 00:51:25
			presence of the mind that
consciously I don't want to do it
		
00:51:25 --> 00:51:29
			again. Not that I would love to do
it again. I don't want to do it
		
00:51:29 --> 00:51:30
			again, this is bad.
		
00:51:32 --> 00:51:37
			Then the Toba is accepted. And do
that as many times as you can. In
		
00:51:37 --> 00:51:41
			sha Allah. Don't ever give up
because you don't know if the next
		
00:51:41 --> 00:51:43
			time you do that, in sha Allah
will be the last time
		
00:51:45 --> 00:51:48
			you just have to hope. But again,
as I said, the best thing is to
		
00:51:48 --> 00:51:49
			develop the immunity
		
00:51:50 --> 00:51:51
			by your Ramadan.
		
00:51:53 --> 00:51:57
			And through hygiene, Omron things
like this is developing an
		
00:51:57 --> 00:51:58
			immunity helps a lot.
		
00:51:59 --> 00:52:02
			Okay, we got another question
here. What if two sisters do I
		
00:52:02 --> 00:52:05
			take off in a house and there is
no one else for food arrangements?
		
00:52:05 --> 00:52:09
			How should the food arrangements
be made? Well, they can either get
		
00:52:09 --> 00:52:12
			lots of stuff pre prepared,
because you don't want to be
		
00:52:12 --> 00:52:15
			wasting too much time cooking food
and smelling like food over.
		
00:52:15 --> 00:52:18
			Right. So what you might want to
do is just cook a lot of food and
		
00:52:18 --> 00:52:21
			just put it away. And then after I
just warmed, you can warm that
		
00:52:21 --> 00:52:23
			food up, it's fine, you can go to
prepare for it, it doesn't mean
		
00:52:23 --> 00:52:26
			that you can only go out to eat
this, you have to prepare the
		
00:52:26 --> 00:52:30
			food. So you prepare the food
quickly. And just minimize it by
		
00:52:30 --> 00:52:34
			the preparation earlier on. That's
the main thing. One day One person
		
00:52:34 --> 00:52:37
			can prepare the food the other day
the other person can prepare the
		
00:52:37 --> 00:52:41
			food. Just try to minimize other
activities and maximize the
		
00:52:41 --> 00:52:45
			spiritual activities. If you have
done taraweeh Could you do
		
00:52:45 --> 00:52:49
			tahajud? Again, yesterday are we
entitled to different prayers that
		
00:52:49 --> 00:52:53
			are specifically an extra prayer
the process on did in Ramadan. Two
		
00:52:53 --> 00:52:58
			days, he did it. He would do it in
his room. Then for about two days.
		
00:52:58 --> 00:53:02
			The Sahaba insisted that they pray
with him. So he prayed with them.
		
00:53:02 --> 00:53:07
			And then the third day he didn't
come out. And towards the end of
		
00:53:07 --> 00:53:09
			the night then he came on he said
the reason I didn't come out is
		
00:53:09 --> 00:53:14
			because I didn't want to be it to
be made obligatory upon you. But
		
00:53:14 --> 00:53:17
			then after that, the I should have
the Allahu Anhu says that the
		
00:53:17 --> 00:53:20
			prophets of the Lord said and for
her pm Elaine for his PR mill
		
00:53:20 --> 00:53:23
			lane, he would the tahajjud he
would never do more than eight
		
00:53:23 --> 00:53:27
			records. So Kiama Lane tahajjud
the MLL can be called both of
		
00:53:27 --> 00:53:29
			those things can be a family with
family it just means to stand up
		
00:53:29 --> 00:53:32
			at night and pray. Right but
tahajjud is a separate prayer
		
00:53:32 --> 00:53:37
			according to the the honor of the
Ummah to tarawih so tarawih and
		
00:53:37 --> 00:53:39
			then you do Tahajjud prayer
tahajjud is always ateara cards
		
00:53:40 --> 00:53:42
			right I mean you can do just to if
you want to but generally it's the
		
00:53:42 --> 00:53:46
			Sunnah is eight during Attica Are
you allowed to ring home for
		
00:53:46 --> 00:53:49
			necessary purposes to deal with
the fine yes you can.
		
00:53:50 --> 00:53:54
			It's not like haram to speak about
the it's not haram to have any
		
00:53:54 --> 00:53:58
			other worldly activity. It's just
that while you're there you want
		
00:53:58 --> 00:54:00
			to maximize the time but if
there's something that has to be
		
00:54:00 --> 00:54:05
			taken care of there's you know
there's there is a financial issue
		
00:54:05 --> 00:54:06
			or something else and yes, you can
call home
		
00:54:08 --> 00:54:10
			you can have a quick chat it's
allowed if you can chat to
		
00:54:10 --> 00:54:13
			somebody else in the masjid Why
can't you use the phone to chat to
		
00:54:13 --> 00:54:15
			somebody at home in that sense,
but it's not something you want to
		
00:54:15 --> 00:54:17
			do if there's no need for it.
		
00:54:20 --> 00:54:23
			Once you made intention for sunnah
Attica and entered into it, what
		
00:54:23 --> 00:54:27
			are the obligations of it? What
can you break tick off, okay. So
		
00:54:27 --> 00:54:30
			if you do enter sunnah Attica for
10 nights, and then somehow a
		
00:54:30 --> 00:54:34
			broke you will walk out of the
masjid by mistake, right or you
		
00:54:34 --> 00:54:37
			broke it, then in that case, it
will become an anaphylactic shock,
		
00:54:37 --> 00:54:40
			because soon there can only be for
the 10 days. And then for that day
		
00:54:40 --> 00:54:44
			that was broken. Either you broke
it away broke, you have to do one
		
00:54:44 --> 00:54:47
			day of kadar. So you can either do
it in Ramadan or outside of
		
00:54:47 --> 00:54:50
			Ramadan. So for example, let's say
you went in and on the fourth day
		
00:54:50 --> 00:54:54
			with 50 You broke it. Now on one
of the subsequent days preferably
		
00:54:54 --> 00:54:58
			in Ramadan. You just go for one
more day again, because the cover
		
00:54:58 --> 00:54:59
			has to be with a fast
		
00:55:00 --> 00:55:01
			If you're going to do it outside
the month of Ramadan you have to
		
00:55:01 --> 00:55:04
			fast on that day as well. But you
can actually do it in Ramadan so
		
00:55:04 --> 00:55:07
			you only have to do one cover so
although it's like a package of 10
		
00:55:07 --> 00:55:11
			if you break it it becomes
individual days. So only one day
		
00:55:11 --> 00:55:14
			is considered to be broken as such
all the others were fine, but they
		
00:55:14 --> 00:55:18
			are novel and not sunnah anymore.
The package was sunnah of 10
		
00:55:21 --> 00:55:24
			Are there any known sooner
specifics to tick off? The main
		
00:55:24 --> 00:55:28
			thing is the main sunnah is just
to satisfy your load somehow
		
00:55:28 --> 00:55:33
			that's the objective. And thus,
it's the main prayers right I mean
		
00:55:33 --> 00:55:36
			those are the main things the
night prayers that are main things
		
00:55:36 --> 00:55:37
			and then your Tila of the Quran
		
00:55:39 --> 00:55:42
			what is the best form of so far
that is also going to be
		
00:55:42 --> 00:55:46
			manageable? That's up to you
really because for some people are
		
00:55:46 --> 00:55:49
			stuck fear Allah stuff it Allah
stuff fill Allah is more than they
		
00:55:49 --> 00:55:53
			can handle a stockfeed Allah Hara
beam in Cali them we want to LA is
		
00:55:53 --> 00:55:58
			another wonderful one. There is
also the Savior estate for right
		
00:55:58 --> 00:56:01
			what is that Allahumma Antara be
La ilaha illa and conduct annual
		
00:56:01 --> 00:56:06
			and Abdo Quanah an article when it
comes to target and so on. So it
		
00:56:06 --> 00:56:09
			just depends on what you think you
can manage. Just do something.
		
00:56:09 --> 00:56:12
			That's the main thing. Start off
with the small one go bigger or
		
00:56:12 --> 00:56:14
			try to go with the bigger one and
see if you can't handle and go
		
00:56:14 --> 00:56:18
			down. Right? It depends on how
your psyche works.
		
00:56:20 --> 00:56:23
			What was the DUA that our beloved
prophet Sallallahu Sallam told I
		
00:56:23 --> 00:56:27
			shall have the Allahu anha Allah
who may Nikka if you want to hit
		
00:56:27 --> 00:56:29
			bull alpha, for me,
		
00:56:30 --> 00:56:33
			what are the most known doors oh
sorry, must know and must not mean
		
00:56:33 --> 00:56:36
			sooner. That which has been taken
as a sooner so the sooner doors
		
00:56:36 --> 00:56:39
			preventing doors basic basically,
doors before what the difference
		
00:56:39 --> 00:56:43
			are some read before eating before
drinking before walking out of the
		
00:56:43 --> 00:56:46
			house before and after entering
the house and so on. These are
		
00:56:46 --> 00:56:48
			basically the prophetic doors
essentially.
		
00:56:51 --> 00:56:54
			I know this webinar was aimed at
professionals.
		
00:56:55 --> 00:57:00
			But I would also like to know how
my how a mum with toddler young
		
00:57:00 --> 00:57:04
			children can maximize benefits
from the last 10 days, the
		
00:57:04 --> 00:57:08
			children tend to interrupt in one
constant attention if left with
		
00:57:08 --> 00:57:11
			toys and books, then they turned
the house upside down. I mean, I
		
00:57:11 --> 00:57:14
			don't understand why there's any
contradiction here to be honest,
		
00:57:14 --> 00:57:18
			because a professional can also be
a mother. Right is going to be a
		
00:57:18 --> 00:57:21
			bit more tough but a you can have
a professional mother as well.
		
00:57:22 --> 00:57:25
			Right? Let's not make them
mutually exclusive things that you
		
00:57:25 --> 00:57:28
			are either a mother or a
professional. Right. I think
		
00:57:28 --> 00:57:31
			that's very disparaging actually,
you there are professionals who
		
00:57:31 --> 00:57:33
			are mashallah professional, they
work part time, but they also look
		
00:57:33 --> 00:57:37
			after their children. Right.
Alhamdulillah. So don't don't feel
		
00:57:37 --> 00:57:40
			bad about this. Right, your your,
your question is absolutely
		
00:57:40 --> 00:57:44
			appropriate. You just have to do
your best to remember that you
		
00:57:44 --> 00:57:48
			just have to try to talk to other
mothers to see how they can keep
		
00:57:48 --> 00:57:53
			their children calm and occupied.
I mean, you don't want to put them
		
00:57:53 --> 00:57:57
			in front of cartoons in the month
of Ramadan, especially. Right? So
		
00:57:57 --> 00:58:00
			you want to make them do things
maybe get together with other
		
00:58:00 --> 00:58:04
			search mothers, and see if you can
have like a play scheme or
		
00:58:04 --> 00:58:06
			something like that, where one
mother can teach them something
		
00:58:06 --> 00:58:09
			about Ramadan or something like
that. And then you get time to do
		
00:58:09 --> 00:58:14
			your worship, right, and so on.
But at the end of it, understand
		
00:58:14 --> 00:58:17
			that your intention will count as
long as you are trying your best.
		
00:58:18 --> 00:58:21
			Because your primary
responsibility are the children.
		
00:58:21 --> 00:58:24
			And don't think that that is any
less than anything else. Allah
		
00:58:24 --> 00:58:27
			will give you the reward for what
you're missing in terms of your
		
00:58:27 --> 00:58:31
			worship as long as you would have
wished him worshipped. If it
		
00:58:31 --> 00:58:35
			wasn't for the children. just
tried to catch naps, get the
		
00:58:35 --> 00:58:37
			husband to help you especially on
weekends you look after the
		
00:58:37 --> 00:58:40
			children let me do a bit of
worship right now as well. Right?
		
00:58:40 --> 00:58:43
			What are these things are things
that you can do?
		
00:58:44 --> 00:58:48
			Even on I mean, since the topic is
women now I mean, even on the days
		
00:58:48 --> 00:58:51
			that they can't pray, right you
can't read Quran because in
		
00:58:51 --> 00:58:55
			menstruation you can't read Quran,
then in that case, get some
		
00:58:55 --> 00:58:58
			collections of dwarves they call
his will out of them, get the copy
		
00:58:58 --> 00:59:03
			of His will or them the law rod
other books and read them read all
		
00:59:03 --> 00:59:06
			of those doors because you can't
read Quran but you can read to us
		
00:59:06 --> 00:59:10
			so occupy yourself doing something
again have a regimen for yourself
		
00:59:10 --> 00:59:12
			you don't have a regimen then you
won't end up doing anything.
		
00:59:14 --> 00:59:17
			We can pray with her by yourself
in Ramadan at the end of reading
		
00:59:17 --> 00:59:21
			tahajjud Yes, you can. Though it's
superior for men who are praying
		
00:59:21 --> 00:59:26
			in the masjid to do Jamar for
Ramadan only the winter but if
		
00:59:26 --> 00:59:30
			it's a woman for example or you
you missed it in Salah then yes
		
00:59:30 --> 00:59:33
			you can do it after tahajud
otherwise it's better to do it the
		
00:59:33 --> 00:59:34
			Jamar
		
00:59:36 --> 00:59:40
			My question concerns usage of time
in Ramadan for clinic. How do you
		
00:59:40 --> 00:59:42
			say that clinicians or clinic has
always said
		
00:59:44 --> 00:59:47
			I have many colleagues who
actually increase their clinic
		
00:59:47 --> 00:59:48
			hours in Ramadan some of them
		
00:59:50 --> 00:59:54
			say that it helps them get through
the long fast but others say that
		
00:59:54 --> 00:59:57
			they do all of this with the
intention of helping humanity I
		
00:59:57 --> 01:00:00
			see Mashallah. From my under
		
01:00:00 --> 01:00:02
			Studying Ramadan is the time to
work less.
		
01:00:04 --> 01:00:06
			Something of the Quran
		
01:00:07 --> 01:00:12
			fee Oh, okay use out of here risk.
Yes. Men even letting go of
		
01:00:12 --> 01:00:15
			certain religious endeavors to
concentrate more on valuable
		
01:00:15 --> 01:00:18
			things even if it means losing
pay. So in summary, I suppose Yes,
		
01:00:18 --> 01:00:22
			question is what is working? What
a very good question that's coming
		
01:00:22 --> 01:00:26
			from somebody in the field. Look,
this is a shaytan is going to when
		
01:00:26 --> 01:00:31
			shaytaan doesn't win, right, by
making us stop good deeds, and we
		
01:00:31 --> 01:00:34
			want to do good deeds, then he's
going to make us do the lesser
		
01:00:34 --> 01:00:37
			good deeds over the more
beneficial good deeds, remember
		
01:00:37 --> 01:00:41
			that as a play of the shaytaan. So
essentially, what we're saying
		
01:00:41 --> 01:00:46
			here is that it would be wrong in
Ramadan, to sacrifice the time of
		
01:00:46 --> 01:00:50
			your individual worship, to say
that I'm going to just help more
		
01:00:50 --> 01:00:54
			people go and help more people
outside the month of Ramadan. But
		
01:00:54 --> 01:00:58
			in Ramadan, your personal worship
and devotion to Allah subhanaw
		
01:00:58 --> 01:00:59
			taala is superior.
		
01:01:00 --> 01:01:03
			Right? Of course, there's an
emergency is different story,
		
01:01:03 --> 01:01:06
			right, like after the catastrophes
after the you know, the attack, so
		
01:01:06 --> 01:01:09
			that's understandable. But on a
normal basis, you should be
		
01:01:09 --> 01:01:13
			decreasing your work and
increasing your worship. Now,
		
01:01:13 --> 01:01:18
			justifying that work is helping
people is just an excuse. It's
		
01:01:18 --> 01:01:21
			rewarding, but it's an excuse to
get away from the greater issue.
		
01:01:21 --> 01:01:24
			Remember, shaytaan all is this is
what the Omar mentioned shaitan
		
01:01:24 --> 01:01:27
			will try to get you involved in a
lower worship, because a higher
		
01:01:27 --> 01:01:32
			worship is going to be more potent
for you. How can the sisters get
		
01:01:32 --> 01:01:34
			the most from Leila to recover if
they're on their period? Again,
		
01:01:34 --> 01:01:38
			the same thing you can't read
Quran you can't do. You can't read
		
01:01:38 --> 01:01:42
			solids, but you can do to us, you
can cry your heart out. You can
		
01:01:42 --> 01:01:45
			sit and do Durood Sharif Salawat
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa
		
01:01:45 --> 01:01:48
			sallam you can what else can you
do?
		
01:01:49 --> 01:01:54
			Right? There's loads of do hours
and have the car and sit down and
		
01:01:54 --> 01:01:59
			just meditate. Just spend your
time right and our say to Allah if
		
01:01:59 --> 01:02:02
			it wasn't for this situation or
this situation, I would have been
		
01:02:02 --> 01:02:04
			standing in prayer for you and you
will get the reward for that
		
01:02:04 --> 01:02:09
			prayer. That's the beauty of the
individuals intention when he
		
01:02:09 --> 01:02:10
			would have done the action
otherwise.
		
01:02:12 --> 01:02:14
			Are shaytaan is not chained in
Ramadan. Yes, shaytans are chained
		
01:02:14 --> 01:02:17
			in Ramadan, but our enough system
around Unfortunately, our habits
		
01:02:17 --> 01:02:21
			still kicks in. So though, there's
no shaytaan, but our habits still
		
01:02:21 --> 01:02:22
			will kick in.
		
01:02:24 --> 01:02:27
			Can you repeat, can you just
repeat what the best AXA to Poland
		
01:02:27 --> 01:02:30
			during takeoff, I would say one of
the biggest things you can do
		
01:02:30 --> 01:02:32
			during that time is try to get all
of the other operators out of the
		
01:02:32 --> 01:02:36
			way. If you got Miss press, make a
calculation and spend that time
		
01:02:36 --> 01:02:40
			doing your QA press. And then sit
down get a book of doors. Read
		
01:02:40 --> 01:02:43
			that. Sit down, get make a list of
your own doors you want to make
		
01:02:43 --> 01:02:46
			for yourself and your family make
those doors, do some sort of
		
01:02:46 --> 01:02:49
			Attanasio vassula Some read a lot
of Quran and do some extra now
		
01:02:49 --> 01:02:52
			often. These are a number of
things where if not, Allah says
		
01:02:52 --> 01:02:57
			that Allah has made your various
ways of obedience and deeds
		
01:02:58 --> 01:03:02
			in a variety because he knows that
humans will get bored of a single
		
01:03:02 --> 01:03:05
			kind of deed so when you get bored
of making solid then go and sit
		
01:03:05 --> 01:03:07
			and read some Quran when you get
bored of doing that and weary of
		
01:03:07 --> 01:03:09
			doing that go and do something
else.
		
01:03:11 --> 01:03:13
			So shaytaan czar chained up as I
mentioned, but
		
01:03:14 --> 01:03:20
			it's the habit still kicks in. And
can I take off be a smallest from
		
01:03:20 --> 01:03:22
			McRib to Asia? Yes, it can.
		
01:03:24 --> 01:03:28
			Can women recite Quran during
periods? Not according to the
		
01:03:28 --> 01:03:33
			majority opinion. Among the former
heads, I believe maybe there's I
		
01:03:33 --> 01:03:36
			think there's a Roxa in the Maliki
school only. Right but according
		
01:03:36 --> 01:03:40
			to the HANA fees, and I believe
the chef is as well and probably
		
01:03:40 --> 01:03:43
			the humbleness as well, it cannot
be done, but in the Malik is
		
01:03:43 --> 01:03:45
			they're allowed to do it. So
that's why you do something else
		
01:03:45 --> 01:03:49
			and Allah subhanho wa Taala will
reward you just like Allah Heron
		
01:03:49 --> 01:03:52
			Masha Allah may Allah subhanaw
taala bless you all, may Allah
		
01:03:52 --> 01:03:58
			subhanaw taala allow this to be a
source of awareness and benefit
		
01:03:58 --> 01:04:00
			for all of us working with that
right now until Hamdu lillahi
		
01:04:00 --> 01:04:03
			rabbil aalameen Hopefully we'll
see you sometime in the future
		
01:04:03 --> 01:04:05
			Inshallah, just like Allah here
