How is it that the believer, he doesn't
shed tears,
he doesn't cry,
that he is now about to depart
the month of Ramadan,
and he doesn't know whether he's going to
get another chance.
He doesn't know whether he's going to be
able to get another opportunity.
This is why my brothers and my sisters,
Majuz
If it was said to the people of
the grave, make a wish.
They would make the wish of
being able to live for another day in
the month of Ramadan.
So also in the Rajab, he
quotes Ibrahim Al Nakhai saying,
Being able to fast in the month of
Ramadan for a day is better than a
1,000 month 1,000 days of fasting.
Doing
a
saying,
It's better than a 1,000
that one can do outside the month of
Ramadan.
One rakah in the month of Ramadan is
better than a 1,000.
This is why my brothers and my sisters,
we have these last few days.
This is when one should be burning himself
The people of Istipamah,
the people who are steadfast,
the people who are upright.
In the nihaya, the ending of their Ibadah,
they strive harder and they exert more efforts,
than what they do in the beginning of
the Ibadah.
This is why Al Juzar
said to us, don't let the horse be
more smarter than you.
When the horse is getting to the end
of the race, what does it do? It
exerts all its effort.
So that
she can win the race, right?
And then he says
don't let the horse be more intelligent than
you
If you did not do well
in welcoming the month of Ramadan,
then perhaps you will do better bidding a
farewell.
So my brothers and my sisters,
if you feel like that you wasted your
time, if you feel like you didn't benefit
from your time,
then there's still hope.
There is still hope.
And this is what Hassan al Basri mentioned.
He said,
improve on your performance
try to perfect that which remains
and Allah Azzawajal will forgive that
which
has
passed.
Trying to seize the opportunity that you
have. For indeed you don't know when the
rahma,
the mercy of
Allah might come onto you.
Ramadan. Perhaps it still might be in the
last hour of
Ramadan.
This is the time my brothers and my
sisters
that we should be burning ourselves out.
We know the messenger
right?
When the last 10 days used to enter
he would tie his right
He will tighten his figurative speech meaning,
he would exert his efforts.
In the first twenty, he would do Jummah.
He was sometimes in the night, you know
possibly he would sleep, and then the other
times he would be standing.
But in the last ten, he would be
bringing it to life.
He would be exerting all his efforts, and
this is a man my brothers and my
sisters,
his past sins and his future sins were
forgiven.
Aisha
she's saying to him, You Rasulullah, why are
you doing this to yourself?
When she seen that his feet were becoming
swollen,
when Allah
has forgiven your past and your future sins,
said Afra'a koona'aabdul shakura,
shall I not be a thankful slave?
This is the message Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
My brothers and my sisters, where do we
stand?
Individuals who sin, who have accumulated
so many filth and evil throughout the year.
Don't you think it is all upon us
that we exert all this effort, that we
try our utmost best?
We ask Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala to benefit
from what we had, Jazakumullah
