Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil alameen wa salatu salam ala rasulillah Allah alayhi wa sahbihi humain all praise and thanks belongs to Allah subhanho wa Taala May the peace and blessing of Allah be upon his servant and final messenger Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam as follows my dear respected brothers and sisters in Islam as salaam alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakaatuh.
We ask Allah subhanho wa Taala that he accept our gathering and forgive our sins and our shortcomings in a holier vertical pada rally. My brothers and sisters in Islam,
I want to discuss with you today an important son of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam that is supposed to be practiced when a person is intending to fast and this sooner is the son of the Sahel.
the Sahel is to eat something at the time of Assad. And the time of Assad is a time just before the fissure pray. This sooner of having a Soho is an encouraged and recommended tuna. And it is highly rewarding. So let's begin first by defining this word.
The word or so hold a sow. linguistically. Where does this come from? It comes from the word Assad
was so how is the name given to the time that is at the end of the night? Just before then in
that time there in Arabic, it's called what to sow, sow time.
And this word somehow, it comes from the word see her and said means magic. So now the question is, what is the relationship between magic? And somehow? We just said that somehow is the time before frigid. What's the relationship between magic? And this time being called Saha? You see a little amount by him or her mama scholars they said, they said what is magic? They said magic. The reality of magic is that it's confusion. That's what it is. It's confusion. It's secretive matters that are mixed into each other and are hidden from the sight of people. This is what magic is. And the name given to the last part of the night just before Frasier is called sahab. Why is it called sahab?
Because this time, it comes at the end of the night just before fissured, and that time is a time of confusion. Because the darkness of the night has mixed in with the light of the measure the light of the morning, they've mixed in with each other. The night is departing, and the morning is arriving. So it's very difficult to tell has it? Have we entered the first time or not? This is why it was called walk too soft. It was called sahab time because of the confusion that happens at this time to identify exactly when has the event in Azure has entered when the federal time has entered. So it was called the time of Saha. And now technically looking at the word, a soul and a circle. What do
these two mean words mean? The word Assam a soul with the fact how the word assembled, it refers to the name of the meal that is consumed just before the event. And this meal is recommended only for the one who is fasting. That's the word a cell. So your food that you're eating is called saddled with a verb. And the word assume a circle with the Bama on the scene, then that is the name of the action of eating and drinking. So when you're when you're when you're taking the food from the plate to your mouth, and holding the cup and bringing it to mouth and drinking this action is called a su hole, a soul with Obama on the scene.
And as soon as we mentioned, it's a son of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam that he would practice whenever he would intend to fast. So if you're not intending to fast, then it is not sooner to have support. And as a whole is not only recommended during Ramadan, as support is throughout the entire year. Whenever you intend and decide to fast on a particular day, then now in your case, it is recommended to have sahul before you fast, let's mention now the virtues are
Have a soul. What are the virtues, and it is very, very important always to reflect over the virtues of worship. Because the virtues of worship, the what's the purpose, the purpose of the virtues of worship is for us to be encouraged and motivated, that we worship Allah subhanho wa Taala, Allah subhanaw taala. And this is very true for anything in life, when you know its reward, you're encouraged to do that thing. You know, like before you take a job position, you want to know, what's the reward of this job position? What wage does it give me? What bonuses does it give me? If it pays a high wage? And there are bonuses, and there are holidays or they used to be given off? And you
know, it sounds good. You take that deal? Honey, you only work in your life and you take deals based on its reward? How much does it pay for this concept is a human concept. We're encouraged when we know the reward of things. And you recognize this when you were children when you were small.
You know, whenever your parents would set a reward for a specific action, it motivates you to do that thing. Right. So now that Jani, many have grown up, and your wives and your focus your worships as well. You need to understand that in order to find motivation and encouragement to continue worship Allah zosen it's always good to know the virtues of the worship. Because when you know the virtue and how huge and how rewarding it is, it motivates you to worship Alonzo Hill. So the first virtue and Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he said, there's a huddle for interface so holy velika all the Sahaba interface so divided velika law court What a beautiful virtue you know, you saw a
long while he was alive, he said, eat a soul.
So have a meal before the event.
Why? Because this meal is full of Baraka for him, this Saudi Baraka when the riesel Allahu alayhi wa sallam he said, in nesara Baraka that Assad itself consuming a meal at the time just before select the treasure. It's a Baraka it's a blessing in and of itself, our bar Kumu hula, it is a meal that Allah azza wa jal has given you read this concept of a desert or an eating something just before select the treasure. This concept Allah azza wa jal gave us this worship our ba Kumu. hula Valletta, the ohana, do not leave it out.
Can you see the emphasis in the sooner that is given for this meal aside, that it is important you do not skip it. Or you do not have it in an incorrect time we're going to speak about the correct time of the whole so you can earn the reward and the burger that is made for a soul.
So let's explore how is a soul abarca? How is consuming this meal just before then in Azure? When you intend to fast how is this a blessing. And Allah hammer home Allah mentioned that it is a blessing from many perspectives. Number one is that it strengthens the body and the soul to the worship of Allah subhanho wa Taala throughout the entire day.
Because if you eat soul, right, if you have your soul,
you have energy, you have energy and strength in the body. And so your soul is motivated to worship Allah subhanho wa Taala as opposed to the one who skips this meal and doesn't eat anything at that time at all. He becomes lazy, and he becomes tired throughout the day. As a result, it could affect his worship. So this is one of the Baraka one of the blessings of having a soul or having soul, one of its blessings is that it energizes and strengthens the body to worship Allah sosial because you're not thinking of food, if eaten. So now you can concentrate and focus on your worship, from the blessings of a soul as well is that it controls your manners. It keeps you away from bad
manners. How is that the case? Because if you skip this meal, if you skip a stroll,
you're hungry. And hunger brings about bad manners. You know that when someone is extremely hungry, his his tongue becomes filthy. If he was to get angry, he'll swear.
He might punch on with someone. He gets frustrated. But if you have a sore throat, you're able to control yourself because you're not hungry from at least for the first half of the day. You're not hungry. You're thinking about
food and so on. So you're more likely to control your
Anger SubhanAllah. And this is the Baraka once again, of
the third blessing of having support
is that if you have support consistently every single day, it makes you look forward to fasting each day.
Because when you have a support, you realize that fasting is easy. You don't think of food, from the very first hours of the day, you're focusing on your worship. Now compare this to the one who skips this meal,
and doesn't mean anything just before.
He will feel like the hours of fasting are really long, because he's fasting for for a longer time. So from the Baraka from the blessing of a soul, and having this meal consistently every day, it makes a person look forward towards fasting every day, because you realize how easy it is you've just eaten and you've started, you're fast by the time mode comes, it'll be a shorter time than if you were to skip the so called altogether. Your fasting will then be a longer time because you did not eat anything
from the blessings of a support and this is number four, is that you follow the Sunnah of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and following the Sunnah of the messenger salallahu alayhi wasallam. There is a great reward in that.
And if you intend when you're eating a soul, if you intend in that,
if you intend in this, to follow the Sunnah of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, then you consuming that meal is a worship in and of itself. You're being rewarded for consuming this meal of a soul. Why? Because you're consuming it with the intention of following the tsunami was all Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah He was because he used to do that before he would fast Subhan Allah also from the blessings of God is that you get up at the end of the night. You get up at the end of the night, and you have an opportunity to meet Victor at this time, and to make dua and to pray at this time. This is a time in which Allah sosial himself descends, and he's accepting the desire of the
servants. So from the Basilica of Soho is that it allows you to be up and awake at the end of the night, having an opportunity to make Vicar to Allah azza wa jal to pray and to make but also from the Baraka of a support from the blessings of a soul is that there is identity for a believer at this time, there is identity, can you can realize your identity at the time of support. Why? Because it is only a believer. It is only the Muslims that have this concept of a soul.
And that is to eat something just before for sure if you intend to fast that day. No other religion has this concept, or whatsoever. Wouldn't it be some alarm while he was alive? He said, First Loomer be in Austria, Vienna, Austria via la GitHub, a gala to sahab and maybe some Allahu alayhi wa sallam, he said that the difference between our fasting and the fasting of the People of the Book is this meal. A sow is eating a meal at the time of school, at the time of Assad, to eat that meal. This is the difference between us and the People of the Book. What does this mean? Meaning laws origin honored us, with a soul, you eat, and you internalize, this is our identity. This is what
makes us different from all these religions that are open. Allah resorption SubhanAllah. And you realize the fact that if Allah azza wa jal wants us to be different in matters of worship. This is a matter of worship. And Allah wants us to be different to the People of the Book in our matters of worship. Imagine then, how far a Muslim is supposed to be from any matters concerning sin and transgression that other than the Muslims are upon, say, if Muslims, if we're supposed to be different from the People of the Book from the Christians and the Jews and other religions if we're supposed to oppose them in matters of worship, so we need a support because if they don't, then
imagine how much is a believer supposed to be far away from the practices of other religions concerning when it when it comes to matters of sin and transgression, you know, like a Christmas tree, having it at home, or celebrating Easter or Mother's Day or birthdays and so on. These are matters of sin and transgression. We are being told to be different to other religion concerning matters of worship. And imagine then sins and transgression, how can we imitate them and things like this?
We're definitely supposed to keep far away from these practices, so we can have our own identity as Muslims.
Also, from the blessing of a support from the blessing is that you're able to pre select the official in congregation law icon. And this is why you're vulnerable. The massages are filled for selective visual, everyone comes out to pre select the visual in congregation during normal bar. Why? Because they've all had so hold, they all ate this meal just before measured. And so from the blessings of support is that it brings people together in order for them to pre select the visit in congregation at the masjid Allah hi quad. And from the blessings of support is that it could be it could be a means of Sadako for you.
It could be a means of solokha. How, if you're to offer someone a support or if you're to share this meal with someone, or if as a mother, for example, she makes a support for the family or the father makes room for the family. Then you earn the reward of everyone that is eating this meal that you prepared as a result as a whole was a reason for you giving a soda and earning the reward of a soda. So from that perspective, as support is a Baraka is a blessing as an idi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, so pound Allah and the final blessing I can share with you on this for support is that the one who hasn't made an intention, the night before the day is going too fast, then he can make the
intention at the time of assault, just before vision for martial law. This is almost about 910 perspectives and points as to how a soul itself is a Baraka for the believer. Also from the virtues of a support and Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he said, in Allah how Amala he ghetto? You saw Luna Allen Mutasa hearing that Allah and all the angels like what are we speaking about the angels that are going up to Allah and coming down to this earth? We speak about the angels that are entering unbeaten Mahmud, which is a house that is in the seventh heaven, and 70,000 angels enter it every day, and never to return to it ever again. And the entire skies is filled with angels, all of
these angels, and Allah subhanho wa Taala himself, your sudden lunarlon Mutasa when they send their prayers upon those who are consuming a soul
upon those who are practicing the action of a solo la cabal. Yanni, do you know what this means? What does it mean that Allah azza wa jal is sending his prayers upon these people?
It means that Alon is praising them. He's mentioning, he's making mention of you among the higher ranking elite angels,
and the angels preying upon you, meaning the angels are making blank for you. The angels are seeking forgiveness for you, and asking Allah sosial to bestow His mercy upon you. Look at the kind of virtue that a soul has, how can a believer miss this? You need to be conscious of these meanings as you are eating your soul.
And Danny, it carried a great reward as a whole carry the great reward. Because this is the preparation of the believer for a long worship ahead. You see why preparation is important. And support itself? What is it? It is preparation, it's a preparation for a long worship ahead, which is the worship of fasting. So it earns a great reward. Because a believer is putting his effort. He's putting his effort in worshiping Allah and he's preparing for his worship, having a support, so that in order for him to fast that entire day, now, what is the correct time for us? This is a very, very important matter to know. Because if you eat at the wrong time, you don't earn the reward of a soul.
This is why it's important to know what's the correct time to consume a soul. What is the correct time to have or to practice this action of a soul by eating something?
A soul, my brothers and sisters in Islam, it should be right towards the very end of the night, just before they're manufactured. So the more you delay your hook until close to them in Azure. That is the sooner and that is when you earn the reward and the blessing of a support.
And the Malik globally Allahu anhu. He narrated and he said that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and ziet Heaven forbid all the Allahu anhu that's how long they had to hold.
Hello Mr. frolova when they finished from this whole common videos on the law while he was a lamella solid, he got up from his house and he went to the masjid in order to praise Allah.
coonelly Anis then
Gunny Anis Allah one was the one who narrated this hadith was asked by the companions can can have been a follower he Mammon so hurry him out or the holy emf is solid. What is the time between the Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam having ended his whole meal? What's the time between when he finished the whole meal, until he prayed, the sooner we'll figure out what's the time for anisopliae law one we said the rule May Allah or rajguru hadn't seen a he said the time was the time it takes for a person to read 58 will really hammer home Allah, He said that's about 1112 minutes to read 58 so we can learn from this duration, that interview sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would delay his score
extreme extreme delay all the way to until just before then, and
that's the sooner was soon as well. And what is good to be practiced, is to have support in a gathering, don't eat alone, with your family, with someone you will find in these ahaadeeth that I share with you it's always someone having to hold with someone else. So how long had the leader so hold as best as you can and that by him Allah now, such as an agile wahala.
He said that sahul time is between and visual care the professional saw that it is between the false visual and the true visual, what is the difference between the false version and the truth version. The difference is that at the time of false version,
what happens in the sky is that a vertical white line appears in the sky a vertical white line a piece in the sky This is known as alpha you will care rip the false Fisher
so we're not allowed to pray at this time and we do not make a then for the pleasure at this time. The first or then perhaps is made to wake people up and prepare them
and the true version of visual saw there is the horizontal white line that appears in the sky horizontal line and then the light begins to grow bit by bit after that, that is when Alfred has entered this is when you must stop eating and begin your fasting. So a bit harder Warhammer will lie he said that are so hard to eat a soul
is between the false version and the true frigid but earlier not by him or her mama they see between them is some set 15 minutes some that said 30 minutes and some even mentioned 45 minutes 45 minutes is an opinion that is somewhat doubtful. So it is more correct to the fact that it's 30 minutes or 15 minutes there are other numbers that have been mentioned. But this is what have been how Java him Allah mentioned that a so called time to consume this meal in order to attain each reward and to earn the bulk of this meal eat that new before the between the false fresher and the true friendships. So
any act 15 minutes before then in Fisher 20 minutes before then officially start eating 20 minutes before the delay it extremely delay your your your support until right at the end of the night just before that and that's the sooner start eating at that time and this is exactly what the companions would do. They would delay it until the last moment of the night. Annie Zubin hareesh Allah Allahu anhu he narrates and he says this a how to mA Viva the Maharaja a la sala development attain and mosquito Selena Catania oprema Salatu lei Sabina homag illa hoonah yet one. So he said
her way she said I had to hold with her they are they follow their law and see once again support having a supporting a gathering with someone else. They had support. Then they left their house to go to pre select and Fisher at the mercy of the no boy. So he said once we arrived at the masjid, we prayed to rock out soon at the vigil and the iqama professional was made. And he said Lisa been home at 11 a year there was only a short time. Once again this hadith is proving that assort should be consumed right at the end of the time right at the end of the night just before then in visual and another How do you This is the hadith of 711 sad the sorry the Obi Allahu I know he said
Come to understand how to feed early from ithamar. Kunal Salatin be an odd consolata frigiliana Sunni ladies Allah Allah, Allah
Subhan Allah one we said that I used to have some food with my family. See, once again, he's having it with someone else with my family from Mayor Kunal Salatin be, then I would experience a rush within me to join solid professional with Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and he finishes his soul and he rushes to the masjid, in order to join the Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and make it for Salah television. Once again, this third narration is emphasizing how delayed you're supposed to put this meal of a soul, how much you're supposed to delay it, and have it just before then and failure in order to attain the reward and to attain any of the blessing of a slow
anything before this is not considered to hold on if a person in the middle of the night was to say I'm going to have some Order now and then sleep, you don't earn the reward of a soul because that is not the whole that is dinner. Or anyone who says you know I have something after we pray or eat something and this is my soul. That is not so hope you do not earn the reward for support. Because this is called dinner. This is not God's the whole time. So be very only what do we say? Careful and pay attention to the time you consume this meal in order to earn the prayers of a law and all the angels and to earn the blessing of a soul. Have it just before then in a year. Okay, so what's to
eat? Actually, what is there anything and maybe some Allahu Allah you send them he said, Man Allah and he assumed that the Sahaba machine number one, eat anything. Anything you eat, is considered sow Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, anyone who intends to fast value at the Sahabi shake, have struggled with anything, any meal. Of course that is valid. And the best thing you can eat for your soul is dates as an abyssal Allahu alayhi wa sallam said, Now I must hold on min tomorrow. There is a lavalier here. So let me say the best so whole of the believer is optimal to have dates, low high quality. And if you don't find dates, then the second best thing is to drink water.
And it doesn't have to be our whole cup. It could be even a sip of water. Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he said,
a small acapella group who Baraka that having Soho is a blessing falletto do not leave it out. One unusual I had to come younger than that, easily for one of you was just to sip water, even if all of it was just a sip water. For even the idea of a soul is not to have a meal and sit down and be full laughter that's not the idea of a service to have something that will strengthen your body and strengthen your soul to the worship of Allah absorption. The purpose of a signal is to follow through with the Sunnah of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and to earn the blessing of this time, and to earn the prayer, the praise of a large version and the Dwyer of the angels
but you will remember him Allah they mentioned a beautiful wisdom for why dates consuming dates is the best type of support. Remember, hammer home Allah they said that you shall lay out in the river The scholars of Islam did not leave anything except they investigated and look deeply into it to bring us out these poles and gyms and understanding and wisdoms in our Deen. So remember him Allah they said, Why is it best to have at the time of Assad? For those who have dates, they said look, dates are sweet. There are they are a sweet fruit. So having dates as you also hold reminds you of the beauty and the sweet taste of worship when you fast that entire day ahead. So your fasting
should be as sweet as the date you had a choice the whole time. This is the only one of the wisdoms they mentioned as you have this day and you you taste the sweetness of it the beauty of it, you're supposed to remember I hope and I asked a large version to make my long day of fasting ahead as sweet and beautiful and enjoyable as this date I just had.
Okay, let's move on to the next matter and that is eating and drinking during the event.
Okay, so there's two things here that you we need to be careful of. Number one,
Allah azza wa jal, he says, We're Kudu, we're Chabot had the yetta yetta, Allah kumaun Hayato availble mineral hyten, a sweaty middle finger. La Sohail basically in this area, he said, eat and drink throughout the entire night until, until the white line has been distinguished and cleanly distinguished from the black line of official. What this basically all means is eat and drink all of the night until the light of the future is clean. So let's say you're out in the desert, and you saw a visual saw that you saw the white horizontal line across the sky. If you saw this, then it is absolutely forbidden to eat. Even if you had something in your mouth, or you had water in your
mouth, you must spit it out, you cannot continue eating it. That's if you're way out in the desert, and you saw it with your own eyes, this horizontal white line. And you are absolutely certain that this is the first moment of a visual, if there's something in your mouth, you need to spit it out and you cannot eat after. However, if you're going by calculation, you're going by the calendar. So you're relying on the calendar to determine the future time, which is what most people do and what many countries do. In this case, there is no certainty that it is special time because the time on the calendar is not the exact absolute certain time of adventure. It's brought a little bit earlier,
it's brought a few minutes earlier. So if you had food in your mouth, you may finish it doesn't matter as the event is being made a limit, you can finish it. And if you had a cup of water in your hand, and you heard a law called law on your radio, and you're following and this radio or the more oven is following the calendar, the calculation, which now we know it's not the certain and exact time of the event and measured and you had a cup of water in your hand. It's permissible to drink.
Because in the vessel Allahu alayhi wa sallam said it so I had a common need that well in a coffee out well in Atwal add filet O who had their big homerun, Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he said, If any one of you He is the event, and there is a cup of water in his hand, do not put this cup down until you finish what's in it. Or until you drink from this cup, whatever you want to drink from it, right? Whatever need you have of drinking water drink. And this Hadeeth, the majority of our audience said that the event in this heartbeat when the when the heavy began by saying when you hear the event, this is referring to an event you he in where you are not certain that it is special time
yet. So if you're going off the calendar for your leisure time, then if you were to eat while hearing the event on your radio, or in your car in the masjid, or going off the calendar, then you can finish off what's in your mouth and drink what's in your head and no problem. Right? This is the difference as for the fact that if you were, as I said, if you were in the desert, and you saw unfishable saw that you saw the white horizontal line. And even if there's something in your mouth, you must remove it straightaway. But
the next matter is, this is of course eating during the event. What is the ruling concerning a person who eats 10 or 15 minutes after the other? Right? So let's answer this question. You see, look, if a person ate 15 minutes after the other, or 10 minutes after the other, and he fought while he's eating, he fought that it's still night time. The future hasn't entered yet. Then he's fasting is correct. And he does not have to repeat that day.
So if you if you got up thinking thinking that it's still nighttime, and you went and you drank, and all of a sudden, you look at your time and the calendar and you realize, Oh, it's 15 minutes since they are there. That's fine. That is fine. And your fasting is correct with Lila and you do not have to repeat that day. However, if you knew that then and Frasier had taken place.
If you knew that it is a special time, but you woke up late. Let's say you woke up 10 minutes late, and you quickly rushed to your fridge or whatever to drink some water.
You have broken your fast and you broke it deliberately. And whoever breaks is fast deliberately must do three things. adobo because this is a major sin.
You neglected an obligation at Dover, and you're not supposed to eat or drink for the rest of that day and you need to make that day
Up, these are three things you must do if you deliberately break your fast during Ramadan. Okay, so if you ate 15 minutes after the other thinking it's still nighttime, the event of the future hasn't gone yet hasn't taken place yet, then your fasting is correct. And the only you don't have to make up that day, what hamdulillah but if you're 815 minutes or 10 minutes after the event, knowing that Fisher has already entered, but he said, Oh, you know what I woke up late, I just need to drink something, you know, love them. In this case, you have deliberately broken your fast, and you must make that they again, by my brothers and sisters in Islam, I have a final message to share with you.
And that is the time of a sale. How important is this time for a believer, my brothers and sisters in Islam, listen carefully to what I'm going to share with you the time of Assad, which is the time just before then and further towards the end of the night. This is a time of worship. And the best thing to do at this time is to seek forgiveness from all your sins. Allah sosial he praised those who seek forgiveness during the last part of the night just before Fisher laws oil he mentions in sort of the vignette, he describes a puppy in the believers. Remember your fasting is supposed to bring your dog what what is one of the descriptions of clean one what will as Harry who may still
feel that at the time of an as * just before Fisher at that time, they are engaged in continuous is still fell yes Stubblefield rune It's a present tense In other words, they are continuously making is still fall or stone federal laws don't fit a law from their sins. Allah subhanho wa Taala he praised people that are worshipping him suparna who are to Allah at this time just before solid confession. Allah azza wa jal, he also said in sort of La Milan, when he described the pain when he described the believers, the righteous, he said, Well, mustafina bill as *, and those who commit to is still fall and seek forgiveness at the time of * at the time, just before then in visual
law. And look at the case of Yahoo ballet is set up. Yeah, boob alehissalaam, of course, the father of use of his children had done a very, very big mistake during the life of Yahoo, they did a very, very big mistake towards the Father. And that is that they wanted to kill their brother. But anyway, then they agreed that they're just going to throw him in the well. And they threw Yusuf Ali's surname in the wall. And after a very long time, when you safale Sarah was found healthy, alive, safe and well, the children, the children of iacob, which are the brothers of use of the regretted their mistake. So they went to their father, and they said, is still fear, Lennar, rubella. Oh,
Father, forgive us, forgive us. Ask your Lord to forgive us of the sins that we had done. Our hope the father said to them. So for a stone filled or locomobi He said, I will ask Allah to forgive you. If this I will. He meant that I'm going to leave I'm going to delete my is still fell for you. I'm going to delay until when Lola hammer home Allah said until the time of a sow until just before then in future, because you're overly Salah knows that this time is a time of accepted. It's a time of worship. So even our value seller realizes the importance. At the end of the night just before I then envision a sad time law and the medical the alarm on we says omitted net and Mr. Field I'll be
sahadi Sabrina still felt that we have been commanded and instructed to make it still fall to see a style federal law at the time of Assad 70 times just before as a refresher to make it 70 times. And more than this if you can. My brothers and sisters in Islam, this time is a precious moment. It's a huge opportunity for forgiveness. The time of Assam is a time of worship, it's a time of hope. It's a time of mercy. It's a time of blessing, Lord for this time just before then in future.
This time is a time in which Allah So Jen has descended to the lowest skying to the lowest term.
And this is happening every single night. Why is it happening every single night that allows social comes down in the last third of the night. And he's still down supernova, Diana
at the time of a sound at the time of having also hold which is as we said just before the measure, why is this happening every single night. This is an implication
to the fact that this is
How much we are in need of Allah subhanho wa Taala every single night we are in need of Allah sosial. So Allah subhanho wa Taala comes down he descends every night. And he asks his mentor even for to Valley, is there anyone who is seeking repentance? Anyone who wants to ask forgiveness of your sins, so that I may forgive him, so that I may accept the Stover luck? Well, my brothers and sisters in Islam, this time of Assad, it's a moment to increase your love for Allah subhanho wa Taala. Because at that moment, you reflect over the fact that a large portion selected you to be
among the few believers that are awake at this time. And given the ability and strength to stand in worship and seek forgiveness, while many are asleep and heedless at the time. See why Assad time is a time to increase your love for Allah so I can just sit down and reflect. Why did Allah allow me to wake up?
And why did he give me the strength and the ability that I'm now standing here in my room? offering to like a hand or making steel fall or making diet? Ask yourself? Why did Allah make you wake up in the most precious moment of the night?
These if you reflect over it, it increases your love for Allah so we should, that you really realize that are lost selected you for a precious moment, so that you can build this relationship between you and him.
Law socially saying at the time of a sow anyone out there that is bothered by his sins, that wants to seek forgiveness so that I may forgive him, answer the call of Allah. Answer the call, do be heedless. Don't be sleeping at that time, especially on Ramadan. And then and then I said to Assad is a time of worship. Don't just get up and then have a meal, and then sit out on your phone until then.
Or watch something on TV until then and Fisher, ob distracted or talk to someone cancel all this out. This is a time of worship. This is a time to seek forgiveness. Allahu Akbar, see at hamdulillah that Allah sosial honored you and give you the ability and the strength, that you seek forgiveness at this time of Assad
and say Oh Allah, I'm grateful for this opportunity.
Oh ALLAH forgive my sins. And this in and of itself, it increases your love to Allah Subhana dad, and you don't know. Perhaps by the time the call to Fisher is made.
Perhaps a person might have been forgiven from all his sins, and you walk out of your room as a newborn. You don't know.
This is not impossible upon Allah absorption. Allah azza wa jal loves to forgive. He loves to hear the call of the servant. He loves the the sobbing of his servant and the crying of his servant.
At the time of a sound, repent at this time, reflect over your sins in your past. regret your sins seek forgiveness, say a star for the last offered alarm, see Allahumma fieldly and is still full of my brothers and sisters in Islam. It purifies the heart, it softens the heart and in order to in order for you still fall in order for your Duan, you're seeking forgiveness of Allah in order for that to have an effect on you and for it to be accepted. Your heart must be present. When you seek forgiveness, your heart must be present in the peace of Allah Allah sent me said, Allah Mullah hilarious that he wouldn't have been half in the lane. The result alone while he was sending me
says, you better all know that Allah so shall does not answer the call.
That comes from a heart that is awful heedless, let him distracted. How is the heart heedless and distracted? he lists if you don't know the greatness of Allah, and you don't recognize and realize the vastness of the mercy of Allah and the vastness of his compassion, the new are half in your heatless concerning a lot.
And the heart is distracted when you don't know the meaning of what you're seeing.
So you need to have a heart that is present, when you're making dua at the time of Saha. And anytime you're making for this diet to be accepted, your heart needs to be present.
And it is very easy to achieve a present heart at the time of sorrow at the time of stroke. Because there is no worldly distractions. There's no color, there's no work, there's no children, there's nothing there's no noise. Everything is peaceful and quiet. So your heart is able to be present with you when you make it and we said a prison. How many
It's not heedless and it's not distracted,
not being heedless, meaning you're conscious of the greatness of Allah, social and the vastness of the mercy of a lot, not being distracted, meaning you know the meaning of what you're saying. So, for a dog to be accepted, the heart needs to be present. Meaning as you're making Dwyer think of the greatness of Allah, of the vastness of His mercy, acknowledge this, and reflect over what you're seeing, understand what you're saying, when you say, Oh, no, I will not forgive me. Do you know what that means? meaning all your sins in the minor and the major sins and everything that you had done that opposed the teachings of Allah Subhana Allah and the Sunnah of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam seeking forgiveness from the diseases of the heart, arrogance and envy and jealousy and whatever it is that was inside your heart, you seek forgiveness from the shortcomings of your worship, because none of us can claim that our solid is 100% and our fasting is 100%. So when you say a star for the last time for Allah, ask Allah to forgive you from the shortcomings that took place during your worship.
The time of Assad my brothers and sisters in Islam, the time just before visit is a private time between you and Allah. So isn't everything around you still motionless or quiet? It's a peaceful time.
