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

these things totally distant from us. You immunize us against them.
Oh Allah, we ask that you make this easy for us. Oh Allah, how

struggling against the shaytaan of Allah, we want you to take care of
him for us. Oh Allah that you suffice us from him? Oh Allah when
little children when they learn how to walk, and they start
walking. Then after they get tired of walking, they tell their
parents to pick them up. And the father or mother picks that child

shaytaan of Allah. How long are we going to continue with this? We
make Toba in the night and we fail in the morning. We make Toba in
the morning and we fail at night. Oh Allah we ask that you use the
faces from the shaytaan and you pick us up and you carry us. Oh
Allah we ask you to preserve our iman, our iman is our most
preserved assets is our most precious assets of Allah. Day by

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