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

00:40:52 --> 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

00:42:12 --> 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

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

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 Salam aleikum
