Most people tend to give money and there's a God during Ramadan.
Otherwise Ramadan has no special connection with the gods. They
told totally two different things. There's no special connection of
Ramadan and God but because the card is formed and Allah promises
seven times that amount some people like to give it their
hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa salatu salam or either Naga Ruthie

loving their brothers,
their sisters and dear friends dear Adama.
It's my honor to be here. I gave a similar program, maybe about 10
years ago, I can't remember exactly which here but it was a
very long time ago. I don't know if any of you were here at that
time. It was about 10 years ago in this Masjid. Mashallah.
So, the topic is the fear of Ramadan. I don't want to bore you
with too much Fick. Too much of the Messiah but I'm going to
mention a few things and then inshallah we can open it for any
questions related to Ramadan. Inshallah, that will be easier
that I deal with the questions that you may have than me trying
to confuse you with new questions that you may not have any
confusion about, inshallah. So firstly, I think, look, when I
look around here, I don't think there is anybody for whom it's
going to be there first Ramadan? Is there anybody who this Ramadan
in one over a week's time is going to be there first Ramadan?
Anybody like that? Mashallah. Many of us are veterans in Ramadan, we
have many, many Ramadan's we have done. So why are we having this
program for we do it every year? Everybody's quite professional, of
how to spend Ramadan. Everybody has their own arrangement in
Ramadan. So what are we doing this program for? Right, especially to
three hours program is a very long program for Ramadan. If you think
about it, however, the reason is that
this Ramadan, that's coming up my motivation for this Ramadan that's
coming up is that may Allah make it better than any Ramadan before
it.
I mean, that should be our focus in every Ramadan that comes up
because every Ramadan that comes up new one is a another chance for
us to get that much closer to Allah.
There's very few other times unless you go for hygiene, maybe
that you can actually get closer to Allah.
And there are so many rewards on offer, as there is in Ramadan.
There was a
there's a hadith of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, it
says that if somebody missed the fast of Ramadan,
so my little brother here, he plays football. And he said, You
know what, I've got a big football match today. So I'm not going to
fast today because I'm going to get tired. So I'm not going to
fast. He doesn't do that. He doesn't you don't do that to you,
right? But imagine somebody or somebody said, I've got a big
business meeting, I have to look old, fresh. And I have to take out
my big business client out to lunch is going to look strange. If
I'm fasting, you know. So they decide, I'll keep it later. I'll
miss one day of Ramadan. It's just I'm not breaking it. I'm just
missing it.
So after Ramadan, then he feels very sorry about it and regretful
and he decides that he's going to fast the entire year.
The hadith mentions that you can't, you can't get the same
reward that you missed for that one day. Okay, your cover will be
done.
But you can't get the same reward. Allah has just increased
everything in Ramadan. And you feel it, it's scientific, you
actually feel it. I don't know if there's any Muslim who doesn't
feel different in Ramadan. As soon as Ramadan is declared, you start
feeling different.
Why? Because Allah has made many changes.
Allah makes one change of locking up the doors of *. Closes the
doors of hellfire. You want to go to * in Ramadan, you have to
break in. You have to be really serious and really committed
sinner if you want to go to Ramallah, to hellfire in Ramadan,
he opens up the doors of Paradise.
You want to come Bismillah very easy.
And then he locks up the shaytaan
Shayateen are locked up. That's why we generally feel a lot more
pious, righteous, we want to pray more.
Everything has changed in Ramadan. There's so much Baraka in Ramadan.
The amount of the amount of food that people feed in
Ramadan is probably not replicated throughout the year
in Ramadan our women mashallah who cook even though they're fasting
they get ajeeb ability to make all of these new foods they make
history in Ramadan only
you don't make it from that from throughout the only Ramadan they
get him to do this
and all of this other food as well.
Right?
They make all of these amazing foods in Ramadan Not that that's
what Ramadan is for but I'm just saying that this is what happens
masajid are feeding people. Allah is generous in Ramadan. That's why
his generosity is spreading everywhere. How is Allah generous?
He's opened the doors of paradise he has closed the doors of
hellfire locked up the shaytaan then he said something and he
said, you know all of the fora and obligations which you must do
anyway. You have to pray namaz, you have to fast I know you have
to do it because I've obligated you to do it, but you know what
I'm going to give you 70 times the reward for it in this month.
Now, if you have another shop somewhere, which is closing down,
or they have offered they give you what Buy One Get One Free,
maybe buy one get two free, maybe 60% Off 70% Off, nobody gives you
buy one gets 70 free.
Nobody gives you that only Allah does and that's for something we
have to do anyway.
It's our obligation as slaves of Allah to do it. He says no, I'm
gonna give you a reward for it. I know you have to do it, but I want
you to get the reward and for any other worship, I'm going to
increase it to the same as a fourth worship any Knuffle worship
I'm going to increase to that worship. So now you can see that
Allah is making a massive difference
and it says that the Prophet sallallahu son was very generous
and he was most generous in Ramadan when he used to read to
Jabril Elisa the Quran
so now
what we have is our Ramadan is if we've done 20 Ramadan before has
our you know last year's Ramadan that we did, how different was it
from Ramadan 10 years ago?
Was there much difference?
So if we prayed this much Quran 10 years ago, we're still praying the
same amount of Quran
if we give this much sadaqa that's still how much we're giving
it's like we've got it set we're never going to we're never going
to go beyond that unless you're doing
so much that you can't do any more mashallah, there are some people
know that time is they can't do any more in Ramadan unless Allah
opens up more time for them because they regulate their
Ramadan and fix it in such a way that no time is wasted no moment
is wasted
but most of us aren't like that right? So I'll give you a few
examples.
young brothers when they finish college and they're going to get
go and get their first job, they're going for an interview.
Now usually you have to have like a blazer or something look a bit
formal right?
To go for interview
and you don't have a blazer you just need a blazer. So a blazer
from Primark will be okay right.
A blazer from as the
a jacket from as the we should be okay for the first meeting.
After a few years, will you still wear a blazer from Primark?
What's wrong with primer?
Right? You know what I mean? Then it becomes we need designer it
needs to be Gucci canali, Giorgio Armani then maybe it needs to be
handstitch ones you know, especially for you because we
moved up in the world.
A young man he needs a car any car is fine, give me a banger. It's
okay. After a few years no, I need this car.
In everything we become mashallah more refined, we become more
professional, we become more particular, in everything.
Even in Job buzz, we become particular in a little kid. Have
you got a phone?
Now? Would you be happy if you got a phone?
If I gave you like a old very old phone would you be happy with
that? I'll still be okay. Right? Yeah.
Any phone works. Now, if I ask our older brother I mean any phone
works for you know, you're gonna need a special phone now you know,
so, but when it comes to Ramadan, we're still doing what we used to
do before we're still on beta version. We haven't upgraded
we haven't upgraded we're still doing what we did before the you
know, off the shelf, no frills brand version that we've been
doing. And we think that's okay. Allah subhanaw taala is actually
in Ramadan giving us making so much changes giving us an excuse
to do better. That's why
My dua May Allah accept it all of us is always every Ramadan ya
Allah make this Ramadan better than any Ramadan before it make me
closer to you than I've ever been before, raise my Eman to a level
I've never been before and maintain it for me, that's the
most important thing.
Now the way to
get the most out of Ramadan is obviously to do it correctly.
And to time everything. If you want to be efficient in anything
you need to time everything. Let's just say you're going for a trip
to Turkey,
you're so busy, you have no time to check out where to go to what
the tourist spots are you just heard is good, very good, big nice
Masjid good food, good markets that you heard from your friends.
So you book a ticket and you're so busy, you didn't check and then
suddenly you get on the flight and you go. And when you go there,
then you know you broke out, you've booked a hotel, and now
you're looking where should I go, you're gonna waste so much time in
finding out where to go, you only got three days. But if you have
everything booked from before,
I'm going to do this on this day, this at this time and this much on
this day, Inshallah, you're gonna have a lot more bargaining time.
This is what our orlimar tell us as well. And this is what any
productivity expert, anybody who's efficient will tell you the same
thing we need to be organized.
So in Ramadan, our schedule needs to be organized around the salaat
the masjid the first thing, and if we're still working, then our work
and see in between. So we don't have to do for example, we don't
have lunch, because we're fasting. So in lunch, what can I do to
replace it? Should I just sit and relax and do social media, watch
some WhatsApp videos and things like this? Or what should I do?
No, I've got to have 45 minutes or one hour for my lunch break. I'm
going to read one juice inside there. And we read my daughter and
I'm going to read one juice in there. And I'm going to do X, Y
and Zed. When I come back I'm going to relax a bit then I'm
going to go to the masjid and I'm going to stay in the masjid from
this time to this time and I'm going to do this many prayers this
many Kadar prayers this much Tahajjud prayer.
The best way to do it is to organize it with the family.
That's a topic I'm going to discuss more Inshallah, in the
other masjid, but it's to organize with the family, the team
with the whole family in place. So
that is just some encouragement and some motivation that Allah
subhanaw taala will make this Ramadan good for us
in terms of the thick of Ramadan
I'm going to open it up to questions but I'll just mention a
few things regarding fasting taraweeh tick off and zakat just
so that certain things that come into my mind that I think may be
useful and then after that inshallah if you have any
questions you can ask that. So as you know, that if somebody eats in
Ramadan, forgetting his fasting
so first day of Ramadan or second day of Ramadan and there's some
sweets, there are some biscuits there are some coffee there and
you're feeling tired, and you just start drinking some coffee.
You didn't realize you're fasting
you even if you had a full meal your fasting will not break Allah
has that's that has been forgiven.
Yes, in one month he does break but in our math, in most of them
either it does not break.
However, if you eat by mistake, or you put something down your throat
by mistake, it will break. Mistake is different from forgetting.
Mistake means for example, if I was washing my mouth
in
wudu and I wasn't careful if you're not careful, like you start
gargling and some water went down that will break the fast. You have
to make it up later.
Of course if you eat on purpose, knowing you're fasting and you eat
on purpose, then that's Kedah and Guevara, which means 6060 Fasting
like that. But that's an important distinction between those things.
Now one other thing that people might not know if you break your
fast by mistake, for example by
taking water down while you're washing your mouth or something so
when we wash when we do we do we should wash looking down so that
the water doesn't accidentally go down the throat and you should not
gargle.
gargling should be avoided. gargling means to you know, take
the water and gargle in the throat that's very dangerous. So we don't
want to do that. Also, we don't want to be close to people smoking
or behold.
If you're going past and some of it went down, it's okay that won't
break it but if you stand there and you take the smoke in, that
will break the fast because you're doing it purposely.
Likewise, when a woman is cooking or anybody is cooking in the steam
If you're in a restaurant you're cooking and steam
as long as you're not purposely taking it and enjoying it
mashallah, this is some nice
then do the chicken or cry ghost or something and I can't eat it
but, you know, let me enjoy the vapor then that could break your
fast because you're taking the steam inside from it. But if it's
just like that and you're trying to avoid it, that that should not
break your advice. So that's regarding fasting
regarding
comes a cut.
Most people tend to give money and there's a cut during Ramadan.
Otherwise Ramadan has no special connection with the gods. They
told totally two different things. There's no special connection of
Ramadan and zakat, but because the card is formed, and Allah promises
seven times that amount so people like to give it there.
If I was a cat is the cat works. The way is the cat works is
let's just say that
the first time I received any saw was the cat which is about
300 pounds, which is the minimum
I don't pay the cost straightaway. This is not like income tax where
you pay on every pound you make.
If I make 300 pounds now I've got 300 pounds. My year will begin
from here. I have to base the god the next year.
Now most of us already have some money. So our year has probably
started already.
So
the next year Islamic here on that same date.
I can just say the first of Shaban is when I got 300 pounds for the
first day.
I'm going to check next year on the first of Shabba doo, I still
have minimum
nisab of zakat, which is about 300 pounds. If I do, then whatever I
have on this day, I have to give 2.5% of this
on the 30th of the previous month before the first of Shaban if I
had
5000 pounds, but I had a big, I had to buy a car. So I spent four
and a half 1000 pounds yesterday, and today's major car dates. And
when you have 500 pounds left, I only pays the garden 500 pounds.
As long as I didn't do that to get away from it.
Even if he did do that, you still only have to pay by his bed.
Right? Some people they
do a bit of a trick.
They take all of their money the day before there's a cost issue
and they say to their wife, you've been such a good woman. I'm gonna
give this all to you.
So he gives it all to us. So he has zero the next day. That's
cheating.
Okay, this is the joke. You shouldn't be doing that anyway,
just in case you like what? You know. Likewise, if today is my
second date, but yesterday, I just received 10,000 pounds as
inheritance all of a sudden, today, I'll have to pay a cut for
it. Because my year is up, it goes here via the only time the year
becomes canceled. And starts again later, is if you go down to zero
anytime. If you go down to zero and you go in debt, or you go down
to zero, you got nothing left, then your year cancels and you
start to get from the next time you have any sub circuit. Very
simple, very simple. So you don't have to worry about what happens
during the year. As long as you don't go down to zero. You go up
and down during the year just on the day of years ago. That's the
day you have to worry how much do I have in money in stock. If
there's debt owed to me, like I've given somebody a loan, after basic
art and all of this, i minus my debt, my own debts to somebody
else, and look at my assets and Bismillah that's what I get.
So make sure you have a date, you have to have a date.
And if your date is in the middle of the year, you can't delay to
pay zakat. Five months later in Ramadan. You have to pay it in
advance. But what you can do is if your date is five months before
Ramadan, you can pay
then then when the next Ramadan comes you can pay zakat in advance
for the next year.
Whatever estimate you want to say let's just say I estimate my God
is going to be 500 pounds, I pay 500 on this Ramadan, then six
months later when my second date comes I calculate and if it was
the same amount of hamdulillah if it was more than I pay the rest
and if it was less than hamdulillah Nephal it's fine. So
you could do it that way otherwise don't make sure that you as a god
has to be no it doesn't have to eat. It has to go year to year
according to the Islamic dates.
The other thing is about ethical if ethical should be done and it's
it's a very very strongly emphasized sunnah.
The province awesome always did it
ethical for the last 10 days in any masjid, that is a permanent
place. And that has the five daily prayers there. That's the only
obligation. This is a permanent masjid, right. So you have that
tick off, at least it should be one person doing a tick off. If
nobody in the community has a tick off, then everybody's blameworthy.
For this, at least this should be one person doing the kickoff. And
the purpose of ethical is for us to just come into the house of
Allah and say, Yeah, Allah, I've come to the door of your house.
And I need to be accepted. I need you to give me all of these,
whatever I need.
And Allah is very generous. Allah is very soft and compassionate.
When he sees somebody making any effort he's willing to give them
he just wants to see that somebody recognizes him.
Say that there's a person in hellfire a sinful Muslim who gets
into hellfire. And he's being punished. After one punishment, he
suddenly says, didn't My Allah has promised so and so immediately,
Allah says Get him out because he knows me.
Allah just wants us to know Him. Recognize him, respect him, honor
Him and devote ourselves to Him. So let us make some schedules of
how we can make this Ramadan better than any before it. I'm
going to give this much more sadaqa I'm going to do this much
more solid. I'm going to calculate my Kadar prayers and start making
them up. I'm going to do this much more Quran and in my Quran. See
we're all getting older and ultimately we're going to meet
with Allah subhanaw taala so in Quran most of us just focus on
reading Quran which is read and Masha Allah, Allah Allah except
our massage, it's they're filled with people mashallah sitting,
finishing many, many columns. But there are two other aspects of the
Quran which were missing. One is understanding the Quran.
Allah subhana wa Taala has sent every one of us have you seen the
email from Allah that He sent us?
In?
Have you guys seen the email from Allah? No. The Quran
Allah sent an email to us iMessage email, WhatsApp message, whatever
you want to say.
And we're gonna go to the here often Allah is gonna say I sent
you a message, you know, by whatsapp by email.
Have you did you open it and check it?
You know, I wanted to. I knew it was there. I knew I had to check
it, but I never got around to doing it.
You know, I've had this occasion. I'm very bad with email. Right? So
some people say Brother, I sent you email.
I said, Yeah, you're right. I'm really sorry, man. I'm very bad
with email, you should have sent me a reminder, you're gonna tell
Allah, Allah sends reminders. This is a reminder.
So Allah has sent us the Quran Alhamdulillah many of us do read
it. But how many of us have read the whole thing to understand it
just once?
What is Allah telling us? We're not reading it to give it to us.
You know, we're not looking to become scholars. We're reading it
to just become aware of Allah. Allah speaking of the Quran, he
tells us who he is, what he's doing, what he likes, what he
doesn't like, how He rewards how he punishes what he's done before
what he will do, it's amazing that the way to get to know Allah is
through the Quran.
And we are going to die and we would never have read even at one
so let us make an effort that this Ramadan right now we're going to
begin. So by the time we may not be able to finish the whole
meaning in the Quran fine. This Ramadan, let us make an intention
that before I die, I want to make sure to at least read it once if
not two, three, multiple times in sha Allah. So
if you're spending, let's just say somebody's spending two hours a
day on the Quran, because you got schoolwork, whatever, you only got
two hours.
Many of our retired people have seven, eight hours, maybe 10
hours. But if you've got two hours, maybe spend 50% of that one
hour on reading, like you do Ramadan, reading 10 rewards for
every letter, right? Spend
25% on understanding get a translation in whichever language
Bangla how to do English, whichever one you want, and just
read slowly just read
what's the third thing then the other 25% Half an hour is to
memorize
mashallah many of us know some like 510 15 suitors. But why don't
we learn more and become a bigger half is half is usually we say for
the one who learned the whole Quran.
I mean for just be a bigger office than we are right now. Right now
we have is of 10 students of his means memorizer we know 20
service, less than 25 students 30 service. It's very easy in
Ramadan, the time you spent on reading
just read like if you don't know your scene by heart Surah Yaseen,
just start reading it over and over again. Yeah scene one Quran
Al Hakim? Yeah scene one Quran Al Hakim? Yeah, Scene One Quran il
Hakima. Scene One Quran hachimura Scene One Quran, you'll get
faster.
Because now you know it, you will still get the reward for reading
because you're still getting reward for every letter 110
rewards whether you read it for reading or whether you read for
memorizing, but the benefit is, is that soon you will memorize it.
When you stand in tahajjud you won't have to just say oh, I only
know cool Halawa. Good I will be available for luck. You can read
more when you're traveling you'll be read Quran
and ultimately in the hereafter. The more Quran you know, that's
how high you can go in paradise. You may not become full half is
that's fine.
But at least we can learn more stories that we know now than we
know now. So that maybe and if you want to be a half as Bismillah is
not beyond Allah to make you half is by the way. So may Allah
subhanaw taala accept I'm going to stop here so that we can allow you
to ask your questions because it was supposed to be about the thick
of Ramadan. I don't know how many questions you have, but let us
begin Inshallah, whether it's about Ramadan, zakat, or Attica,
otavi. Inshallah, drive
in my car, if I don't have, can I use my app? Yes, you can. You can
use your app, you can use your app, and you can just as long as
you don't touch the words, so from the side, if you move it, it's
fine. When you read like a translation, you know, same again,
if you can't touch the translation, you can touch
commentary, but you can't touch translation. So if it's
translation, you just move it carefully, without touching the
actual words, you can touch the meaning or, you know, you can't
touch the translation. But if there's a commentary with it, you
could touch that but many don't have commentaries. Again, you just
be careful and touch an empty space and move the page.
Particle Lovick. Also, what I'm going to suggest to the sisters,
is one of the most difficult things in Ramadan is to
decide what to cook.
And sometimes the men are not very helpful. They say, What should I
cook today as I cook whatever you want,
sometimes easier for a woman to cook something they know. Like
they know they've planned to cook then to think of what to cook
sometimes. So mashallah, one secret we found very useful is
before Ramadan, you actually make a schedule for the whole menu, a
menu for the whole month. And then you just cook that every day. And
then you adjusted it makes life easier. Just want to share with
the women. Yes, brother.
Okay, some questions here. How do you calculate your Kadar prayers?
You just think and think and think how many prayers have I missed
since I became mature, which was about the age of 1314 you get a
rough estimate, don't over burden yourself just get a rough estimate
and start and inshallah once you do that,
then you can always do a few more afterwards to be precautious
right? And there's two ways there's multiple ways of doing
this. One way is that a person does one Fudger cover with every
cover with every new Fudger one Zohar with every lord. What a lot
of people have told me is they found easier is to do finish off
one prayer first like get all of your soldiers done.
Do five or 10 in a day
if you're okay I'll hamdulillah have no more features left than
start on your door after maghrib Isha like that. And just keep just
keep a calculation there are some apps as well that allow you to now
do keep keep that counts for that as well if you want to, but at
least if we start inshallah we can de train even if you don't finish
Allah will help us Inshallah, but if we don't do anything, then it's
an issue. Likewise for our fosters, well, we should just make
an estimate.
And how do we make up missed prayers? Maybe when we were
younger and didn't pray it's the same thing you just make an
estimate a rough estimate, and then go with that. Inshallah.
Please ask for me does a breastfeeding woman whose milk
supply reduces when she first need to fast her baby isn't on solids
yet. So this is a needs a more a bit more nuanced answer. Go and
contact a dietitian. You have dieticians, whether in the
community or in the doctors to see which there's certain milk sorry,
there's certain foods
Would that help in giving you energy and milk production?
Or shall I in our third world countries, the women would have
told you that already, you know, there are certain foods that they
will feed the breastfeeding woman to produce extra milk.
So it's just mostly mostly it's about a diet. I can't speak for
everyone. But for most women, it's about a diet, if they get a good
diet, they can do everything and the fasting are not that long as
they used to be before.
However, if you have a medical condition, and you're really,
really, you've tried everything you're going to really struggle in
your baby's going to be harmed, then you could have you know, this
from experience, or good Muslim doctor will tell you the same
thing, then in that case, you can fast later, outside due color
instead. But you should try your best by getting a better diet. And
Allah help you. And does brushing the teeth invalidate your fast as
some said, You can if you don't swallow. So if you brush your
teeth with no toothpaste with no flavored stuff, like with miswak,
or a dry brush, you can brush all day long, right? As long as
nothing goes down, you're fine. But if you brush with some
toothpaste, then you're adding the taste. So it's mcru is
undesirable. And if anything goes down, it will break. Otherwise,
it's at least undesirable reprehensible, because of the the
flavor you're adding to that
some pregnant women can and cannot fast, what is the threshold?
Same thing as the women who are breastfeeding. If they can change
their diet, and certain medications and so on, they should
try to fast a lot of women fast when they're pregnant. There's no
one rule that if you're pregnant, you don't fast. However, if you
are very weak and you got some complications
and it's just try one or two. It's tough, I just can't do it. I'm
gonna get headaches, I get this I get like severe migraines,
something, then miss some and then start again. A lot of the time is
your diet and your medication. And you have so consult with somebody
specifically about that. But just don't give up just like that.
Try a few. Then if you get tired, miss it miss one. Try again. And
because you just can't get that same reward, it's too valuable to
miss.
intention for Ramadan fast for Ramadan fast. When's the latest
time you can keep an intention? And for kava fast? When's the
latest? What when do you have to know mashallah, in Ramadan, Allah
has made it specially for Ramadan. So
if you have an intention like that every time after tarawih, that I'm
going to get off for Sahul then isn't that an intention for
fasting the next day, that's the intention. That's enough. You
don't have to specially say I am fasting tomorrow.
As long as it's in your mind that I am fasting, that's enough of
some mud hubs, they have to say it. So I've been to those messages
and the Imam will make everybody do needs no way to assume a
garden, and so on. Right? We don't have that because for us, it's
just your intention is there. If your intention is to wake up on
Saturday, and you're going to fast your intention is done. In fact,
even if you did not make intention, or you a half off,
should I fast tomorrow not because I'm sick. Then in the morning
after the first began, you did not eat anything. And then you decided
I'm going to make an intention at nine o'clock in the morning, your
spouse will still count your intention counts until half the
day
after day as far as half the day means from fajr to sunset half
time, not from sunrise to sunset because that's later not noon, but
from fajr time to sunset, what is half the time so it's usually an
hour, half an hour an hour before noon, is where you can make
intention into Okay, that is for Ramadan.
Outside Ramadan, if you're going to make kava for Ramadan then your
intention has to be before visual sight.
Otherwise if you fast is going to become Nephal fast if you want to
make it for a makeup fast like today, if you wanted this to be
cut off fast it had to be the intention had to be from before
Fajr then this will become cut off otherwise it'll become
automatically Nephal fast.
Okay, so that's the intention part. That is just what's in your
mind.
Does aka love hate Allah bless you all, they may have been the one
more hands up but, you know, again, we've got a lot of question
answers on our fatwa center.org and zum zum Academy has
A lot of questions and just check the YouTube channel that was
the point of a lecture is to encourage people to act to get
further an inspiration and encouragement, persuasion. The
next step is to actually start learning seriously, to read books
to take on a subject of Islam and to understand all the subjects of
Islam at least at the basic level, so that we can become more aware
of what our deen wants from us. And that's why we started Rayyan
courses so that you can actually take organize lectures on demand
whenever you have free time, especially for example, the
Islamic essentials course that we have on the Islamic essentials
certificate which you take 20 Short modules, and at the end of
that inshallah you will have gotten the basics of most of the
most important topics in Islam and you'll feel a lot more confident.
You don't have to leave lectures behind you can continue to live,
you know, to listen to lectures, but you need to have this more
sustained study as well as local law here and Salam aleikum wa
rahmatullah wa barakato.
