And what I wanted to share with you in tonight's event, is something about the wisdoms and the inner secrets of fasting. Now, as a first point, we know that for every single meta that Allah subhanho wa Taala created, and every manner and every meta that he subhanho wa Taala prohibited there is a wisdom in everything that allows Xhosa legislated and in everything that Allah subhanho wa Taala created, there must be a wisdom. This is what our belief is we believe that and why do we believe this? Because one of the names of Allah subhanho wa Taala is an Hakeem and Al Hakim means the all wise and his wisdom so part of what the other the fact that he is cold attacking the old wise, we're
going to see his hikma we're going to see his wisdom in his creation and in his legislation as well. This is why we say that everything alive Zoysia created, there must be a wisdom and there must be a secret behind what Allah subhanho wa Taala created and behind what Allah subhanho wa Taala legislated. And of course,
there is nothing absolutely nothing that Allah subhanho wa Taala created all legislated that is baseless, there is nothing that are not created or legislated. That was done so without any wisdom or any purpose. And any support or law from one of the very beautiful things I ever read was that you know how we look at the creation of a law of association. And you know, how we admire how beautiful the creation is, when you walk outside and you see the sun how beautiful it is. When you see the sky and how beautiful it is. When you ponder over the wisdoms of the sun and what benefits mankind benefits from the sun. When you look at the ocean, Allahu Akbar, Masha Allah, what have you
it is the world The world has beautiful, beautiful views that Allah subhanho wa Taala created. And we all can appreciate a lot of creation. And we can all 100% admit that this is a beautiful creation that allows origin created all around us, from the trees, to the stars, to the sky, to the earth, to the oceans, to the animals to the insects, trees and different kinds of leaves and how everything comes together to create this beautiful universe. And then this book when I was reading, it made a point. It said that if all human beings can admire and appreciate the creation of a lot of social and how beautiful it is, then we should also appreciate that Allah subhanho wa Taala under this
legislation and his rule and his law must be much more beautiful than than what he created subhanaw taala because what a lot of social credit, it is nothing compared to that which he legislated. What a lot of Xhosa legislated for mankind the follow of commands is much more superior than what he created for our eyes to see. And if that which we see we can admit that it's beautiful. And we can see the hikma of Allah subhanho wa Taala through his creation, then most definitely, you can just imagine how beautiful the deen of Allah subhanaw taala is if his creation is beautiful, how much more is his Deen beautiful, how much more are His laws, you know, how much more beautiful are His
laws Subhana Allah, how much more wisdom and purpose is filmed in his Sharia in the law of Allah subhanho wa Taala so this is why as Muslims we believe that there is nothing that Allah Subhana what Allah created or legislated, except that it has a wisdom and a purpose behind it now, sometimes Allah subhanho wa Taala Allah tells us the wisdom behind these things. Sometimes just directly, a lot of soldier would say what the wisdom behind this kind of deed, this action or this legislation is. And sometimes a lot of Zoysia does not mention the wisdom behind this certain worship. And as a result, you'll have 1000s and 1000s of skirts that came in the past that wrote books and commented
and gave lots of commentary about or trying to derive what wisdoms relate to this kind of legislation or to this kind of worship. You know, some of these books include and morph apart the shop of your him Allah. This book is a book in which he never shot the go home of a lot. He collected a lot of these wisdoms and secrets
It's of the legislations upon us all these commands, why do we pray? Why do we? Why do we give the cat? Why does a woman not pray when she is young in her periods? or Why does she fast? And why do we do how is why is it seven times? Why why he just began to answer all these kinds of questions, and initially short the mo law. He called these books and morph apart. But the original name, the original name of that book, as he mentioned in his introduction, was the Assad the gleif, Atari for Assad. This word Assad secrets in a secrets was used with the setup with the pious predecessors this word was used to describe these legislations and commands that Allah Subhana Allah has given us when
they were trying to deduce and derive from them certain wisdoms and purposes. And Atari fossati, Cleef meaning that his book he was he was he initially called it that this is a book that collects information about the secrets behind what was legislated to mankind. And also there's a nice, very good book.
Mm hmm a law called gentle law in Berlin, a fantastic book, it is in four volumes. And also in this book, he collects all the kinds of wisdoms and secrets behind so many of the deeds and the legislations that Allah subhanho wa Taala prescribed upon us in the Quran whenever he sallallahu alayhi wa sallam told us in the pseudonym. So now our talk for tonight is more or it's going to surround fasting since that's what we're approaching. We wanted to speak to you and I wanted to share with you some secrets and wisdoms about fasting, why it was legislated. Now
the wisdoms of fasting.
Alonzo church, Shell has mentioned some of them in the plan. So there are direct wisdoms that we know of about fasting that are mentioned by last Zoysia in the program. And then there are other wisdoms and secrets that are ruled out by him omala after an abundant reading of this area of the earth of the ahaadeeth and understanding, they began to derive certain wisdoms about why a lot of social legislated upon mankind that they fast. So now, let me share with you the first and foremost of these wisdoms, and that is the direct wisdom and purpose and reason for why we found that Allah subhanho wa Taala mentioned in the book, and he mentioned this in sort of the law Power Of course,
we know that School of Law is a solar and mothering solar, its revolution began in Medina and obviously it ended in Medina. It's a it's a solar that came down over 10 years and the majority of solar tillbaka is teaching you and I how to worship the last panel. It has loads and loads of legislations and commandments from Allah subhanho wa Taala. And one of those commandments that Allah subhanho wa Taala calls us to is the fasting alarm so shall he says yeah, you Latina Manu quotevalet como su mo coma gudivada Medina mean publikum la la comme de Hoon, this is very famous, which we all do in this era, Allah subhanho wa Taala he says, Oh, you who believe
fasting was mandated and it was prescribed upon you just like it was prescribed upon those before you so that you may attain decoy. Even Elena Bahama Houma la they said this, clearly and directly from Allah subhanho wa Taala teaches us what the wisdom of fasting is. The wisdom of fasting in this area, is the longest division legislated fasting upon us and previous nations as well. cootie Valley levina in publikum. In other words, fasting isn't just mandatory upon us. A lot of soldiers also prescribed fasting upon nations way before from Adam Allah eastern time until today people have fasted. But the first thing the manner in how the fasting is conducted, differs from one nation to
another. So our alma mater NaVi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam Of course, you know, we fast from treasured until now. And there are certain things we're supposed to refrain from. Previous nations Allahu Allah, they're fasting The manner in how they fast different are fasting is 30 days, a lot of them how many days their fasting was, but their ID was that a lot of Zoysia legislated this Blissett act of fasting upon Iran. And there is a wisdom behind this. And the direct wisdom that Allah tells us in the Quran. He says la Lagoon, that tahune so that you may attain taqwa, so that you may increase and attain dukkha. Now,
what is this stuck with that we always hear of every single Ramadan we hear that fasting. One of the purposes of fasting is to attain taqwa are all good. We know that as a fact. But what does that mean and how does it relate to you and I and how
Can we measure our taqwa? And how do we know that we have succeeded during this blessed month of Ramadan? And that we have actually attained taqwa at the end of it? How do we measure that? This is what we need to understand. And we need to understand how does fasting itself give a person? Let's understand what taqwa is. First. My brothers and sisters in Islam, taqwa is basically commonly translated as the fear of a loss of Allah who died. And that's correct. But more specifically when we want to
look deeply into the word adult word, and how it relates to you and I adopt what is that a person increases his sense of awareness of Allah subhanho wa Taala. So that now a person with taqwa is someone that has a great awareness and conscious of a lot of social is aware of most people who have a lot of social media observes in para la social sees him that a lot of social. He's every word is serving others, okay? When you're aware of a lot of social that, of course leads to fearing or most of that, when you're awake. And when you're aware of Allah subhanho wa Taala. What does that mean? What does it mean if a person is aware of a law, so you need to be with me on this, we're saying
that fasting, its purpose is taqwa. taqwa means that you're aware of Allah subhanho wa Taala at all times away.
And being aware of a large soldier, what does that mean? In practical terms, awareness of alarmist origin means that you are quick to rush in implementing a loss of power the Hoover Dam is command and that you are quick to run away from that which Allah subhanho wa Taala prohibited. And if you were to fall in any of the prohibitions, you're quick to get up and make it over and turn back to a lot of social, such a person fees a lot and such a person is aware of Allah subhanho wa Taala. So now, when they are then is called for selected multiple selected ratio, the quicker you are to offer that the more aware and conscious you have a lot of social, which now in turn means that you fear
Allah subhanho wa Taala. Right. And as soon as you hear that a lot of Zoysia prohibited something, the quicker you are to run away from that prohibition. Then this also means that you are aware of a loss of patent who died, you know, like the components when it was told that how that alcohol is how long they were quick to get all these barrels and throw them out and just forever hold the alarm on him describe the scene in Medina. They said it was like rivers, rivers of alcohol just flowing down the streets. That's how quick the believer was to respond to that which Allah subhanho wa Taala prohibited immediately threw it out. So this is what taqwa is to be aware of a law and to be aware
of Allah azza wa jal is to rush to implement laws commands, and to stay and keep far away from that which allows or shall prohibited and if you are due to fall into a sin, you are quick to get up on your feet once again, make it over and run straight back to Allah subhanho wa Taala doing that which pleases him subhanho wa Taala. Now we understood what taqwa is, we said DACA is an awareness of a law and to rush to a being the most Peridot. Now let's tie it back to fasting. How does fasting increase our taqwa? How does fasting increase and give us the stock? Well, this awareness of Allah subhanahu wa tada so that we are now able to rush to a loss obedience, and to keep away from that
which Allah subhanho wa Taala prohibited. Let's understand this. You see my brothers and sisters in Islam, when we fast, which is obviously the main pillar of Ramadan, and this is the obligation of Ramadan, that is the fast we are supposed to stop eating, drinking and engaging in any sexual relational activity. Were supposed to stop from all of that, at the time of Fisher. As soon as a then alpha is called, as soon as you hear Allahu Akbar Allahu Akbar, you are supposed to what stop eating which means what? Which means you have rushed in the obedience of Allah subhanho wa Taala you're rushing to implement what Allah subhanho wa Taala commanded you to do. And that is the Lord
said to you stop eating at this time. And he said to you fast at this time, this is the last commandment. And this is the greatest obligation and the biggest pillar of from above. And you're training yourself for 30 days to rush to Allah subhanho wa Taala is called a lot of social cities start fasting from fishers, and you will not see a single person in the number of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam that will delay this. No one would sit down and say you know what? Let me just drink five more minutes and then I'll stop my fasting five minutes after that efficient and be ridiculous. you'd lose your fasting no one does that. Rather you find that everyone
rushes to be given the first thing the second Allah commanded us to fast Allahu Akbar, Allah, no matter what's happening around us, you know there's so many lockdowns people have delayed their events, people have canceled events, people are shut down stores. Ramadan hasn't delayed. This event of Ramadan doesn't delay and it doesn't shut down. It doesn't there's no such thing as you know, Ramadan. Let's Let's postpone it until next month. The believers are quick to rush to Allah socials command as soon as Ramadan begins a lot like about Bismillah from the first minute, the first day of Ramadan starts, we're going to rush to a loss of Hannah Montana, Pamela. And these anything, it is
training us over 30 days
that we be quick to abate a loss of power who are Dallas commands. And now watch this. The day unfolds. So you've started on time. And what have you done? Obviously, you've woken up early to prepare for that day. And you've done all those preparations you've done your support and so on. Why just only in intention that you can start your fasting on the first second that a lot of social wants you to do so. So Pamela, then you first that entire day. And when mother type comes, what do you do, you break your fast now
the one who breaks his fast as soon as a then and mothership is called Allahu Akbar, he earns more reward than a person who delays to break his Fast Five or 10 minutes later, you know, there are some people that think I'll delay my breaking my fast I'll be humble on staff a couple of more minutes for the sake of Allah Zoysia you know, we'll pre select them and then we'll eat and you know, there's no rush let's because we're fasting we're gaining more reward. This is done for more sake. Oh, breaking your fast. As soon as and then and marketing is called the second it's called. It's much more rewarding. Why? Because the one who breaks is fast. As soon as a lead and model is called.
He's a person who rushed to obey Allah subhanho wa Taala His commands command. A lot surgeon told us PR guru will show more hot day at work. Oulu shabu had a debate and a little more heightened abdominal heightened, sweaty Minh and facial, somatic Muslim a late when he sallallahu alayhi wa sallam this is what he commanded us to first from visual until not. So the one who began his fasting in the first second of beneficial and the one who broke his fast. As soon as a then and magnet was called. He's a person who gains that maximum reward because he obeyed Allah subhanho wa Taala and the messenger sallallahu alayhi wasallam. Not only that, but he rushed to obey Allah and His
messenger. At the second that Allah subhanho wa Taala commanded them to break their fast and to Panama Ramadan is training us to rush to fulfill a loss of Hannah mortarless commands. This is exactly what Ramadan is doing a lot of work but can you now understand what that word means? And the practical activity that Ramadan and fasting itself contributes to increase our taqwa and our awareness of a loss of habitat. So that now after Ramadan, and even during Ramadan,
when we hear the call to good when we hear the call, then we are quick to get up and pray. Because in Ramadan, 30 days we got trained, that we fasted the second Allah wants from us. And we broke our first the second alarm Zoysia wanted from us over 30 days that has trained me now that any time I hear the call to solid, anytime I hear the call to good I crush to implement that. So power the law. Now when a person after a bond rushes to fulfill a loss commands in the very first second is called to them. He's a person that has actually gained an increased in his top part of the last panel who What the *, and also a talk where we said to you, it's to rush to obey laws origin. And it also
means that a person's awareness of the prohibitions of a law of social increases, and he keeps away from that which allows or shall meet how, and how does Ramadan, train us on that? Because during the day of Ramadan
when you're alone, when you're alone, and you're hungry, and you're thirsty, and you know, that he can eat, and you can drink and no one will ever, ever see you. He can go to your room and you know, you can do that. So what stops you? What stops you from eating and drinking in a day of Ramadan where absolutely no one sees you? What is stopping you know what stops is one thing. The fact that you knew that a loss of vision sees you along about all of a sudden this increased sense of turquoise in a person's heart. You've refrained from that which is harm, which is eating and drinking during the days of Ramadan. And you only did that
Not because people are going to see me. I told you you're hidden in a room in a closet no one can see you. But you know Allah soldiers can see you and you're being trained 30 days to keep away from the home. Because you know Allah azza wa jal can see you as a parent alone. And so after I'm alone, this is what a person begins to become trained upon history that you in Ramadan, you lift, you lift the hot arm, because you know Allah azza wa jal can see you. So now dude make after Ramadan, a different event. You know, like I read a post that said, Ramadan is not about pausing the Hello, and then you resumed after Ramadan. Ramadan is about stopping the Haram altogether. It's not about
pause, and then you resume after Ramadan.
It's about stopping it altogether. And Ramadan, the fasting itself trains us on that when you leave the food out, you've only done that, because you feed people see you, you feed the law. So he sees you and that you will break a law of social law if you did. So, to have a law and these are law he if this sense of awareness that a law social sees you is alive in the heart. This is when a person reaches maximum levels with a loss of Hannah what that Yamato bin Abdulaziz or him of love.
His daughter felt when she described her father she said manifesta Come on, be careful to see me when I select when I can Mel a tarantula niehoff la hmis level. She when she described abdulazeez please read about his ceilometer blah, blah Z's was a great man and a halifa of Islam read about his seal.
But she when she described him, she said that he didn't beat the people and didn't proceed the ranks of the people because of a lot of sonet and cm he had actually done as he is used the fastest like the people will trust. And he used to pray just like the people pray, you know the obligatory prayers, the sooner before and after something of the night. Fasting whenever it's sooner to fast, it was nothing, nothing extra. Perhaps there were people in his time that did much more better in terms of good deeds than him in terms of worship. So what did he beat the people? She said, Well, I can measure as well as you would on your home loan. I didn't see anyone who feed Allah subhanho wa
Taala like him. That's why I told you read the story. Allahu Akbar. He has incredible things in his story in his biography about how he exercised the fear of a loss of power of water in his life. And this is exactly what 30 days is doing. It is giving us the potential to increase our awareness of a loss aversion. So that now when you keep away from the how long after Ramadan, it there's logical sense behind it, that you kept away from home during Ramadan, which is eating and drinking during the day. Because you knew I can see you. So now what happened after Ramadan
doesn't see you after
you realize that Allah can see you after Ramadan. So Pamela isn't that this is the understanding that a person should get from the word taqwa. And what taqwa and its relationship with fasting is now. Now I share with you after this
very briefly, in Chatelet, I'm going to conclude with this one. And that's the second kind of wisdom we derived from Oman. And Miss wisdom is a wisdom that was shared with us by the scholars or him or homologue of Thailand. And they did this as a means of, of deriving. They analyzed the legislation of fasting and Ramadan, putting all these different areas together, and understanding the stories of the prophets and understanding the Quran as a whole, and the student as a whole, and they derived a special wisdom. We're all about him. Omar said that Ramadan was legislated. And the wisdom behind it is that it was legislated as a dauber for mankind.
Take that in Let me explain it to you on mobile on the wisdom of Ramadan, and the wisdom of fasting is that it's a Toba it is a total loss of power. What? How does that make sense?
We need to understand initially when a lot of social created mankind, he created mankind which is our father Adam alayhis salaam, initially in the paradise, and that is the same very paradise that we believe may lead the believers ended up residing in on the Day of Judgment. That's the paradise Allah created Adam in
and how did we end up on earth? We ended up on earth after Adam alayhis salaam committed a sin he disobey the law, social law social clearly says in the poet while also admirable for that Adam alayhis salaam disobey Allah subhanahu wa
The island and it because it was because of his disobedience, that he was removed from the paradise put on earth. And as a result, this is why you and I are on Earth. Now he disobeyed a lot. How did he disobey Allah? How did Adam disobey Allah? His disobedience was that he ate from a tree that was forbidden upon him and his wife her work. So in other words,
the sin was related to food. It was eating something that was the same, which was the disobedience of a law that resulted in us ending up here on Earth.
So now if the food was the sin, the Tanga is going to be one, it's going to be fasting, which is opposite to eating. What what what the Toba is going to be fasting. So the people of the paradise you know the people in the paradise, they don't need to eat, and they don't need to drink. When the believers in the paradise eat and drink. They only do that for any luxury and leisure. Otherwise, there's no real hunger and real first in the paradise. But we eat and we drink out of leisure and luxury hung like that.
So when did the human body when did the body of Adam alayhis salam? When did it require food and water? When he ate from the forbidden tree and he was removed from the paradise to earth. He was punished with the fact that the body now needs to eat and drink to survive. That's how Allah Xhosa reprimanded Adam Allah who set up
and
and with the fact that he developed a need for food and drink. This obviously this need of food and drink only came after a sin. So the idea is that the tobacco the tobacco now is too fast the entire e that would be a Cincy. doba from the sin which was food.
And that way, if we were to fast the entire E, we get to go back to the paradise because we have proven our job. But a lot of Zoysia he knows our weakness, and he made it easy upon us. And he gave us 30 days to fast. And that is enough for the past 30 days. And they would have fulfilled but a lot of soldier legislated upon them. I've always mankind can't fast the entirety as a matter of fact the law social media how long too fast the entire year as in getting a hadith and when the besar seller. Now, it doesn't mean that a person fast the entirety. But there is a deed we can do that will give us the reward of fasting the entirety like in the recent llamada usnm said whoever First of all, and
follows it up with six days of show when see why it's important these six days, it would equal as though he has fasted the entire he, when he sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says, Whoever fasts three days
of every Islamic month, preferably 1513 1415, preferably these days, then, as though he has fasted the entire he gets the reward of as though he has fasted the entirety. So basically, you and I have the possibility to meet Allah subhanho wa Taala on the Day of Judgment, with the reward of fast of having fasted every single day of our life, if we were to fast three days of every of every month, and we were to faster mobile and six days of sugar well after that. And remember, a cm fasting was legislated as a
as a doorway because of the sin that we did, which was the food that Adam alley instead of eight which resulted in us being here on Earth. So now the only way to make it over from the sin of food is to fast. And as a result, you find the wisdom behind this support a lot. So now getting a lot of social he made it very easy upon us. And he made it permissible law social made it permissible for us to eat and drink so long as we do not make the desire of food and drink a reason for our disobedience of a loss of height of water. And whoever eats and drinks out of gratitude to alone. This is the purpose of the evening as well, that whoever eats and drinks and have gratitude and
thanks to Allah social, and does not make food and drink a reason for him being far away from a loss aversion. Then he has fulfilled the rights of Allah subhanho wa Taala upon him.
And in order for the designer of the food and drink not to take the better part of our life. Mark Xhosa legislated fasting legislator BonBon for us. So that so that food doesn't take the better part of our life. What about imagine imagine our lives without a mobile phone.
Imagine imagine our lives without what I'm about. Malawi people will be indulged in food and drink in just a moment.
Among social, economic and social gives us this month as a mercy from him to us, so that we can leave a food and drink the same reason why we ended up on Earth. Leave it leave it for my sake for a month for a month, so that you can be trained exactly to fear of loss aversion, and to make a proper and correct doba. This is why Ramadan is an opportunity for every single person to be forgiven for his sins.
To the point where if you do not get forgiven at the end of Ramadan, you're a person that deserves to be cursed. And I'm not saying this for me because I I intend the desire to tow your cars. This is what Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that one day he ascended the Pope
and as he was going up he said mean mean and mean.
And so have I realized something strange He's never done this before. So when you finish the whole button came down. They said the mirror so long, we realized that you said mean three times. Why did you do that? He said to them gibreel came to me when I took the first step. He said to me,
you're rahima unfamiliar in a darker Ramadan fundamental level and in under veneration de la Ramadan for Maharaja Minho.
adelakun Ramadan Maharaja min Hadith anyway means that medicines and mcg but he came and told me, me the one who enters Oman and comes out of Ramadan, meaning he witnesses 30 days of the month
and he does not earn forgiveness. May such a person be disgraced and humiliated and cursed. Then jubilees homosassa them say me, them and Nevis Allahu alayhi wa sallam said me. So if a person witnesses the entire month of Ramadan, and he's not forgiven at the end of it, such a person is cursed by Allah by gibreel and biozone muscle Amala your Salah max a heavy curse.
So this is why I say to a lot of soldiers out of his mercy gamers this month and insha Allah, the One who is aware and conscious and wakes up to himself and creates these seconds of Ramadan and these these of Ramadan seriously, and makes an attempt to draw nearer to a lone soldier through the first thing,
then be in the left such a person under complete forgiveness of your sins, in the love of his origin wants to forgive us. He's given us all these kinds of opportunities in our life. so unlucky, the one who isn't forgiven at the end of this, he is cursed and he deserves to be cursed. How much What else do you need? What else do you want? How to love
my brothers and sisters in Islam. Let's understand. Ramadan, when you fast fasting, keep in your mind the wisdom of fasting, to increase my taqwa my awareness of a lot of solution, so that I rushed away a lot of soldiers command so that I keep away from that which allows origin only prohibited upon us. And also understand when you've asked that this is my job. This is my dauber from my sins. This is it, you know, and we said, you know, don't move on.
You know what I should the second wisdom with you? Because Adam and Eve ate the sin was food. So now the tober is too fast. You know what's ridiculous to find that people as famously said, have made from this month of fasting a month of feasting. You've heard that that's a very famous statement. That's always you know, circulates around in Ramadan it's very sad because you find the people before Ramadan stockpiling imagine initially that the Coronavirus already exposed to many people, those people that went and stockpiling and and hoarding and buying and purchasing and filling up their houses a lot from buying extra freezers and filling it up with modern know what they're doing.
Not only that, but now when Ramadan comes close the yummy. Most Muslims had the same idea anyway, go and buy these boxes of dates and food and stock it up and then at night, there's the foods and and Allahu Akbar, it's like, it's like truly, it has become a month of feasting in the eyes of many when you see the behavior and the attitude of how people approach this month. But let me share with you one Hadith that teaches us that this month wasn't about feasting, and I'm sure you know this Hadith, but if you were to look carefully through one word, you'll find yourself and have eaten the vsam Allahu alayhi wa sallam in way when it shall be a long one had described him
and what he used to break his fast on during the number one, she said canon abuso la Marley you're sending the youth to Allah opa bat that he used to break his fast on brewpub a lot of other first dates. Fat in Lem yes
if he did not find and there was no rope available in his house.
A lot that he used to break his fast on time a lot, which is the dry dates dates for in lemmya, urgent, if that was available in his house, it wasn't available. In other words, he didn't stockpile on dates. He didn't buy extra food and put it in his house. The idea was for Indonesia, what would he do hustle hustle at midnight, he drinks sips award. But the point in this habit was the safer in nemici if dates were available in his house, you and I in Ramadan, the most definitely our house is full of dates. until after Ramadan, it's still full of dates. That's good. I'm not saying to don't go and buy dates. You know, relax that's a good kind of preparation that you break your fasting on
dates because that's the sooner they just lay the bottle so masala manejo cinnamon, and I'm highlighting to you in the Hadith that in recent Allah while he was in his house during Ramadan, these would combine in with the most essential kind of food which is dates he didn't even have in his house you think he's stockpiled and other things if he wasn't in his house. And the idea was that this month is a month of fasting fasting really fasting as a tool as a tool. But over the over what ended up here on Earth what interest appear on Earth was because of food and family setup, ate from the forbidden tree alone. So God forgave him and he accepted the Stover now we're on earth and
we're going to suffer on earth we're going to be miserable on Earth, Alonzo gently said, for inclusion no common agenda to finish college. The worldly life is like this. And we need to we need to strive to make it over so that we end up going back to the paradise where we belong beef nilay Dinah and the only one who deserves to go back there is the one who sincerely made that over to a lot of social in this life from all of your sins.
No one who made it over sincerely and was giving us the opportunity. Ramadan is there for the doba is there to make it over. And the one who doesn't make it over losses woman Lamia to olayinka home of volley moon. Those who do not make a sincere Toba. Now the opportunity is coming from above, it's over. But we're going for the moon. Such people are the wrongdoers in the sight of Allah social command my brothers and sisters in Islam, be serious about this month, this month is an opportunity for you and I to make the best job in our life. Don't worry about the current situation and what's around situations always come and go. You know, the virus comes today goes tomorrow, something else
comes today, something else goes tomorrow. And that's very natural in a person's life is always like that, you know, your money comes your money goes, you get a new job, you lose your job. If you're if you're gonna if you're going to sit down and wait until the situation gets better in the wall. And until my situation gets better. And then inshallah we'll be serious or lucky or live ever. It will never happen. You gotta you need to understand that so long as Allah Deen does not change. And we're good. We're good. Let's see here home Obama, the event is going to start in a few days. It's not being it's not being delayed, because of the economical situation. Because of the current crisis.
Because of the current virus. It's not delaying for anyone, almost DVDs and CDs. You know, and the worship size there and online. hasn't changed the law is is who he is to
the world around you would change. But our Deen doesn't change. And so long as it doesn't change. There's no excuse for you and I to say I couldn't make the best and the most out of it. There's no skirts, Allahu Akbar. So Palawan Yes, it is a unique trauma bond that is approaching us. And some people will make from the current situation, a reason,
a reason for why this would be the worst form of art, and some people and I hope this is the majority of what will make from the current situation a reason for why this would be the best form of art for lawyers. Allahu Akbar, voila, here it is true words. And in reality, this unique Ramadan of lockdown has the potential to be the best Ramadan ever in your life should be locked down. Things are going to be much more sincere between you and a loss or
a loved one who
him and his companions the companions when they used to fast they used to sit in the masjid. Do you know that you don't know that? They used to sit in the masjid. I'm sharing it with you. And I thought of this then it just just that so probable. And when he was asked about a lot of the companions, when they were asked, Why do people sitting in the masjid during the day when you're fast? Who would say no Boy, you will see a man. We purifying our fast a woman. In other words, who realizes and he knows at his time. Imagine how much was nowadays. He knows that outside the masjid. It's dirty out there, man. People are swearing at each other. There is this yearning what
Is Happening people are speaking about the dounia tree business it's like there's nothing in this life except money and making money. So he knows it's dirty outside. So he sits in the masjid when he first when he was asked he said I'm purifying my pants. I'm keen on keeping it natural I'm keeping it pure clean so that it goes to a law solution natural clean. So the law social accepts my Toba and forgives me. So now this lockdown has made us like a bolo. You know, when you're sitting in your house, or mobile in lockdown, when you're sitting in your house, have the positive idea like
and say, Hello, Sienna, I'm going to take this opportunity to purify my files. Because out there, the world is evil. It's dirty out there. How much oppression is out there in the world? How much? How much? What are you going to count the count? How much evil is there how much fit and one law here if you walk down the street, in any business district, if you walk 500 meters, you've walked past 70% of the minus signs. That's how dirty it is out there.
The banks at river with Xena will hammer will massage that abandoned all of these all of these are minus signs have the mirissa lamola usnm says though one of the minus signs is to enter the mustard and no one is praying in it
70% of the minus signs if you just walk 500 meters in a business district it's dirty up there my brothers and sisters for fitted so it's good to be a lockdown be like a lot of the alarm on and see mobile you don't see Amana we are purifying our fasting want to keep it clean, want to keep a polished. So that if we fast correctly, by abstaining from food and drink and sexual relations, not only that, but by also abstaining from speaking evil and hello and listening to allow me your home. So it's much easier now to to fast your ears fast with you. And it's much easier to lock down for your eyes too fast that you don't see anything wrong. You don't read and you don't see Allahu Akbar.
You don't even even touch anything how long you're out, you're in the house, you're pure. you preserve your fasting. I tell you, my brothers and sisters in Islam, voila, what a great opportunity to make this the best normal one ever. The best moment ever. And then when it comes at night, very simple. Don't be afraid or terrified of anything. How am I going to break that away? My brothers and sisters in Islam This is how it was prayed for for a very long time. You know, in terms of individuals and how they prayed pm only as a matter of fact, did you know a lot of people worried I don't know what to read and how to read and you didn't need What do you need? And maybe some
allamani you know send them when he was commanded by a law Kumi Laila illa kalila get up and pray at night, when night prayers were mandatory and obligatory upon Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, because that always became obligatory upon in the de Sala Mahal he was setting up. And for the oma for the rest of the night. Chris is a student about upon the bizarre cinemas obligation. Allah commanded him only Laila illa kalila in the early months of Islam in Mecca, and you know how much of the Quran he had. He had so little Allah called Bismillah bigger living Halak.
He had sort of the modesitt and a few errors from sort of the Muslim male and alpha yonny altogether, they only come about to three pages of the horror and alone he's telling him prefer night, all of it illa kalila except a little bit of the night Go and rest and sleep a lot about what he only had two pages of the Quran. It is read it with a with a heart that is aware and alive and conscious of what you're reading. Brothers and sisters in Islam realize the wisdoms behind from a barbed wire what gives us this man get up and connect with a lot of social is the opportunity. Do the opportunity's there before us in a couple of more days and asked him to give you the ability
that you're able to worship him the way he deserves to be worshipped asking us can make this Why don't you say Allah allow us to reach Ramadan. So what there are people that will come into Ramadan who will reach it and will come out and they're still cursed, as in the previous hobby if I shared with you because they didn't earn forgiveness. The point is not to reach Ramadan and everyone will reach them about it for what has decreed for us that but only a few are going to graduate with only a few are going to graduate, graduate with a complete forgiveness of Allah so again, so the idea is ask Allah with this to Allah allow us to reach Ramadan, ask him to give you the ability that you
worship in the way he deserves to be worshipped that you fast the way he deserves to be fasted for that you pray the way a lot deserves to be prayed for. And and feel taste or add in your salad read one soul on my brothers read one
can repeat it like us all muscle allamani your son indeed he prayed. He prayed the entire night. His prayer was most of the night with one
into our people who know
about why we're interested
in
hockey at the end of solitaire, either almost scary as we saw silom repeated that the entire night. A lot of sushi singing area about howard dean about sorry about banning assault on
those who disobeyed the command of reselling, he set up. He said a lot a lot of socially seeing into the bonfire in Nevada as on the Day of Judgment, we'll see if you punish them, and they are. So let's look at the weakness of mankind. This is what you're supposed to be pondering when you read this as the weakness of mankind, that you're a law. If you punish them, they are servants. You they belong to you. You do whatever you want with them. No one can command you to do what you want. If you do if the if you punish them, you punish them. in Darfur long, all of you can forgive them as well, for in the cantle Ozzy's will Hakeem. So how long he did not say and if you forgive them, then
you're the most merciful the most forgiving, even that would have been an ending that suits that part. But I lost it. And if you forgive them, you are the old mighty the old why's, why? Because if a lot of soldier was to give, forgive someone on the Day of Judgment, a lot doesn't forgive them because he was weak, a lot of soil forgives them, and he was strong, and he had authority to punish them. But out of his mercy, he forgives them. Imagine this one area that we saw Selim repeated the entire night and he began to cry a long while ago Selim connect with an A A my brothers and sisters in Islam. This this entire plan that we used to have for those imams in Ramadan in Tel Aviv that
used to read it throughout 30 days, the good thing doesn't matter. But this entire 330 percent of the Quran was revealed over 23 years, Mahatma Gandhi, the one soul you're going to read in your solid could have been revealed over six, seven years. One thing you're worried that you cannot read it in a few minutes. Don't don't change this kind of attitude, what you change it for and wasn't for that, unfortunately, is what people have made of just read, read and just let the you know, read as much as we can read, it's good to read. But more importantly, is to understand the message of what works for us. And the reason the Vallejo center was described by Irish over the long run again. And
he he was a poor and that would walk. In other words, he would implement the plan in his life. And you can see it in his character, chemical and and Yoshi. If you cannot be at all and that walks, be a soldier that walks be an AI that walks live with one swallow during Ramadan come up with something come out with an A a
yummy, any any and if I was to catch you now, and if I was to specifically pick it up right now and say, brother system, what a and lives in your heart right this very second.
If you don't have anything in your mind and in your heart now, then What relationship do you have with football? What connection do you have? What is living in your heart right now? Every day when you wake up, you read a portion of the ad, choose for yourself something Read, read something, and understand its meaning even if it was one a lot to take with you half an hour. And then and then engrave this area in your heart. So that if you were caught during the day, what's the area you're living with right now? Bismillah you're able to see what it is. Now your heart is aligned with the class. Now you're connecting with Elon to read an entire user in one day. And then come in the
afternoon and tell you what's living in the Quran in your heart. And he said I don't know. What relationship do we have with my brothers and sisters in Islam inshallah, the next speaker is going to discuss about the more and more beautifully laid data for Please listen attentively to all the speakers, and the only take this month seriously, it's only a few days and the days are going by very quickly. And the successful one is the one who's going to make from the current situation
he's going to make from this current situation we're living in the best form of art show what other such people be successful. We ask Allah azza wa jal to give us the success to give us the ability to worship him the way he deserves to be worshipped to partner with Allah. Allahu Allah. wa salam, wa cinemavilla Carla, do you know how much he became as you mean?
