by Chef Alison Hanif is going to be tafsir to see it, he did it last year and it'll be continuing this year continuing this year in Charlotte Tada and then we'll be also having a purpose for prayer cos Bosch will be covering the wisdoms behind the saints of Salah and it'll be doing that in sha Allah. And God is aka Allah will be doing a Quran recital, the same way that we had today with Jamal Abdel Nasser. He'll be doing the same thing shall Allah where he recites and the people who are here
recite with him. So that's just what we're going to some of the things that are happening during the month of Ramadan. Without further ado, I want to pass the mic over to Chef abou Sam the heavy who is no stranger to this platform and hamdulillah Mala are the chef
for the
Smilla hamdulillah salatu salam ala Rasulillah he Amma bottle
one apologize for being late today but due to circumstances beyond my control, I actually arrived here to the Masjid street from Heathrow Airport.
We went up with a group of 50 people or so to perform Umrah. And we were supposed to arrive scheduled to arrive in London at one o'clock which would have given me more than enough time to get home
and to get freshened up, and to maybe get something to eat into rest.
But when we left our hotel in Mecca at four o'clock AM Mecca time we arrived in Jeddah there was some big explosion, some oil refinery. So the traffic slowed down. And when we finally got to the airport, and we got everything checked in with our group,
the planes were delayed because there's so much smoke in the sky. So we wound up arriving late.
We dropped the brother off, and we sped here.
And when asked ask Allah to bless brothers, Sheffield who navigated
this situation, and it was really thorough and getting us here. Only 15 minutes late, what humbly ly reason why I'm mentioning this to you is not because I want anybody to feel or think that we deserve applause. No, but because of what's going on today.
I think most of you probably heard of what happened to the brother in America. The share the die, brother,
Earth man Pharrell, who's given Dow in San Diego, and his Dow is being accepted by many foreign white
people Christians, Dalit to the youngsters in the universities, dollar to people who are ex prisoners, ex gangsters. All kinds of doubt was going on in San Diego.
I almost moved to San Diego, but it didn't work out. But I went there a few times. And I was super impressed with what they were doing. The point here is when I was in Mecca, and I got news of him getting stabbed, I left him a message. I'm not going to say what I told him on that message. But I said to myself,
here's a brother who has been given Tao he's been receiving a number of death threats by terrorists extremists.
But it didn't deter him and we ask Allah to give him a class and to divinely protect him. As Allah said, in the Quran.
Whatever allies the gentleman writes for you, no one can hurt you legacy bene Illa Marchetto Allahu lenah. Nothing's going to hurt anybody except well Allah has written and decreed. But the point here is that the brother got back into the ring. He didn't tap out. He didn't call it quits. It wasn't a punk. He wasn't scared. He got right back into the ring the next day
when I was in Medina and Mecca, and I give these glad tidings, I kept my head under the radar because I really want to meet up with a lot of people. I want to focus on my own a Bader and also I want to focus on my group. But I did have the occasion of meeting some of the Shabaab who was studying in and Medina and Mecca. And I say to our community, if she Sheetal
up share kulula hidden income. Now we have a generation of youngsters like the share, Earth man
Pharrell, like a brother, Samuel seldom, like the brother, Abul Tamia and other brothers who I met in Medina, Mexican brothers who I know people and memorize the Quran. They're not like my generation and Muslims who went to Medina and we learned and I didn't know I live by
these brothers and memorizing Mattoon and then memorizing Kira at. And in addition to that, they have a lot of activity in the shop.
I will Tamia specifically, it's going to come to my mistreating Shama and leads on Friday to give to hold but and then do a program with me for my community. If you saw his schedule of what he's doing, and I'm just mentioning, it's from the Bab of just letting you know, if you saw the schedule of what he has, you will say Subhan Allah. So I said to myself, I'm old school compared to those brothers, but I'm not going to let those brothers you shall not do the work by themselves because the Sunnah
is under threat a Salafi is under siege.
We can't even say set a fee anymore. We have to be politically correct. But I say Kela
No way Jose.
The Sunni inshallah will continue to go forward. For many years now. We've been off the square for many years now. We've been preoccupied with each other people have politicized the Dow have said if here.
So now, it seems and it appears in sha Allah, that we have soldiers once again.
We're getting ready to get in the muck and mire of giving dower
I suggest to those brothers and anyone who's hearing my voice, that we all have a role to play. And we should all open up our masajid to one another so that we can regroup from all of the nonsense and a mess that has happened over the past sheiks politicizing our Dawa. And I as an African American who's worried about my mother and my father dying on the lives of them in Islam, my people, black lives matter. My people in America need to hear about this down in my bar and Mubaraka but I'm going
to embrace and take on the battles in the fight of a shed somewhere here somewhere there as opposed to being busy with calling the people to a tow heathen, the Sunnah.
So if that brother share with man Pharaoh can get back in the ring the next day, and start giving down these other brothers have been preoccupied. You think I'm just gonna leave back in the cut.
And just sit in the shade
drinking lemonade
and just relaxing?
No,
I want to give a call out to any and everybody who cares about the Sunnah, cares about the spread of a total heat.
To put aside all of this madness,
we need a lot of soldiers in the work. Because the people who are against Ellis Lam who are trying to change Ellis land, they don't sleep, they're not sleeping. So there's no time for us to be stuck on stupid. And the B group of people were fighting each other over some problems that are political, they have nothing to do with us.
So with that Sharla for the next 30 minutes I had an hour ago, but they gave me 30 minutes. Now I'll take these 30 minutes to say what I have to say about today's lecture, which is the ease of LS lab through the teachings of Ramadan.
Anybody who has eyes and has an intellect can see just in the legislation of Ramadan and what we do and what we don't do. That al Islam is a religion that makes things easy for people. Not a Religion of hatred.
Muslims hating one another, not being able to cooperate with one another. I look into this audience the vast majority of the people in this audience are real young people, Chabad teenagers, people in their early 20s. But I know for a fact although I don't know most of you all have almost all of us have issues with other Muslims at a time when
there is no time for that to be distracted fighting people who share your very blood, the blood that's circulating in your veins.
means and may veins is the same. And you guys can get along over some nonsense.
And this religion has set for us the blueprint about how to solve problems, and has given us instructions about what's acceptable and not acceptable.
Profit to told us Allahu alayhi wa sallam now you're Hello.
Be Muslim and you may be lacking human action and yet you're a ha. Folk profanity lady. It's not permissible for believable believes Muslim who believes in London last day. If you believe in Allah and the Last Day, it's not permissible for you to boycott your brother for more than three days, three nights been boycotting people for 10 years, 15 years that people want the same thing. It's just that the share is the common denominator that creates animosity, or in the case of the people
in the audience, is the dunion things that keep us disconnected from our relatives.
So the ease of Ellis LAN
comes as a very clear and concise lesson in the way Ramadan is. And I have to mention is, and I'm glad it came to my attention. When I accepted Islam in 1986, I accepted slam in the blessing month of Ramadan. And I can disclose to a Palestinian almost left al Islam.
The reason why I almost left al Islam was because of shit for Muslims.
I was in a place I didn't know what Islam was. And they knew and it was Ramadan. So they told me I had to fast they were not even fasting. But I was ready to make a change in my life. I started fast. They told me I did fast from snatam Fajr all the way to Savannah Isha.
And I never fasted in my life.
And it was the summer months in 1986 when I became a Muslim at 19 hours of fasting and the food that I had, I had to save it and eat it at nighttime. The food was like a brick by the time it was time to eat it. It was like a brick.
So I fasted 18 hours, and then I had to eat the break. I said what kind of religion is this? I said, I'm getting out of here. This thing is crazy. I never fasted in my life. But by the grace of Allah, Allah azza wa jal protected me and I stayed on the religion. But I came this close to apostate and because the shudder that came as a result of not understanding Islam, with those people without community, so young people, when you want to go to the London, London Bridge and stab people and
kill people, and you want to go to Syria, and you want to do all of this nonsense, you give a bad image of what our religion is, and you do nothing to help your life. I sit here, and I bite my tongue for no one and I tell you, let's hold on to the religion without any apologies. Like it, who likes it, hate it, hate it. But when you learn your religion, you learn how to navigate. When you don't know your religion. You do things that you think you're doing the right thing, but in fact,
you're hurting al Islam. And it happened with some of the companions that people came to perform Hajj.
They came to perform hajj, the kuffaar were performing Hajj, when the muscles were in Mecca, and they were weak and no press.
And it was a practice of the kuffaar of Quraysh to do Hajj without their weapons. So the Muslims were being persecuted sejarah Sula, they don't have their weapons. It's an even playing field now. Let's get him. Let's get him Rasul. Allah told the people some love Allah while he was selling them I was in sin with a religion like that.
If we go and kill those pilgrims, do you know what the people the Arabs of the Arabian Peninsula going to say?
The same thing that these non Muslims are going to say, when we behave in a way that's not appropriate.
So heck, my hikma hikma putting things in the right place.
Knowing when to be soft and knowing when to be strong, and knowing when to fall back to the black. This will we need. And that comes when you guys start learning your religion. Not on your own. Not being keyboard warriors, but connecting with people who already know the religion.
So today we're going to talk about and shout lies with the ease of Ellis Lang and how it comes through in the way that
Ramadan has been legislated. First thing I want to mention very quickly Inshallah, point number one is
look at the names of Allah azza wa jal
and learn about the Tawheed of Allah's names in his attributes one of the most important aspects of this religion Tauheed USMA we'll see that
from the names of Allah, you understand that our religion is a religion of ease. His name is Rahman Rahim.
And every saw of the Quran begins with those two names. Except Surah Al Bara Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim.
Allah's name is L word do we have a Lord who loves He loves that you take advantage of the roles, the concession you can't pray standing up pray sitting down. You an old person is snap takes that into consideration.
And it will do
we have a loving God. Allah mentioned in the Quran will Allah Smith bros now for the row who they were vero levena You will he do in a fee as smappee To Allah belong all of the beautiful names so make dua to Allah by those names. And leave those people and abandon them. Those people who make it hide in the names of Allah and the attributes of Allah.
from Allah's names as he is Haleem
Allah thief, he's gentle, doesn't want to just destroy people just to destroy you. wants to give you mental problems, test trials and tribulations so that you are wretched human being, hating yourself and hating society.
You see, life is dark. Everything is the glass is half empty. Your Lord is Haleem
he's Latif ginto.
Allah azza wa jal is an awful in the month of Ramadan later to cut our mother out you should say God I'll soon Allah was the best dwelve later to cut that if I get it. He said you should say Aloma in the car foon to hit bois for five one knee faster dua for NATO to Qatar. Oh Allah you pardon. You love the party. And so pardon me for the mistakes that I mean.
Allah mentioned no Quran. Lo you people love nice beautiful me him, my Tara quality him in button when I can use Heroku in the Agilent mucem. If Allah were to take every person in this room and hold him responsible for his oppression, Allah wouldn't leave a single person on the face of the earth. Not anyone in this room.
And I will be the first one. But it gives them respite to a particular day how you're going to give up and be rough on yourself and rough on other people and your Lord is gentle.
So from his names, we know that he subhanaw taala is a Lord who wants to make things easy for you.
We have to shift I don't have a nice time. Second point I want to mention the fact that there are a number of characteristics of the NABI sallallahu alayhi wa sallam similar to that. Allah said about Prophet Mohammed Salah What do you say little ma rasa? Naka in Rahmatullah Milan me your rock my Yamaha me to the people. You are Rama to the elderly you are Rama to the youngsters. You are Rama to the Shabaab you are Rama to the women. You are Rama to kuffaar You are Rama to animals. Yeah, you
can I'm not in need of non Muslims telling me about animal rights. The Messenger of Allah told me that Salah loved what he was saying he's a Rama. So when he legislates in this religion, the hijab, Jew, bad knees cop, the late young, whatever. He is legislating that from a place of Rama for the people, not to make things difficult for you, when he legislate. plural marriage is from a place of wisdom and Rama. It's not against you, sister. It's not against your father, your mother. Whatever
the legislation in Al Islam is. Allah describe the prophet in the Quran, I will not be our Rasulullah sallallahu sallam. He said in the Quran that Ajay Kumar rasuluh men and physical as he is when I lay him I need to hurry sunnah in a complete meaning. Or Woofle Rahim. Bazz come to you people a messenger from yourselves. It bothers him. It makes him sad that any hardship should be fought.
All any one of you?
He is really trying. He's, he's trying to help you. Allah said Rasul Allah is roof. Rahim. Allah's name is a roof, Rahim, a roof is the one who's due to merciful. He said that's how the Prophet was Allah Allah when he was sitting.
Next issue as it relates to the Mercia. And the easy of this religion is what Allah mentioned is so many ayat about how he has legislated in this religion where this a lot what is the cut with his Ramadan with his *, whatever the case is? Allah said in those ayat of fasting, you read the law who become useless.
Well, are you ready to become a Rasul? Allah wants ease for you people he didn't legislate Ramadan so that as it's getting close, you will say Oh, no, it's so difficult. Oh, Ramadan, I'm going to pass state because Ramadan is tough. No, I'm gonna pass state because the Muslims may Ramadan tough. gonna pass state because my husband has his hands around my neck and the way he's dealing with me, and I'm a new Muslim. That's what's gonna make me a plastic, not the religion.
So some of you young people are friends, they're interested in Islam, and then they say, Nah, I'm not going to be a Muslim. Why should I be a Muslim? Same thing that the Muslims are doing. I can do that. I'm doing that already. So he doesn't come to Islam not because Allah but because of the Muslims. You read to Allah Who be commonly useful. Well, are you read to become closer that I was revealed concerning fasting?
He mentioned another if you need to love her and you have full time income. Well holy Collinson will die if
Allah wants to meet your burden light upon you. For verily mankind was creating Week. Week. He gets a job and the non Muslim says to him
leave your religions Okay.
His job says to him, you can't go the Juma you can't pray says okay.
Allah knows people's situation. He knows that people are in situations where they are forced to do things. So when our religion what did he say? La you Calif Allahu nevsun. Illa was Aha. Allah doesn't burden you beyond your ability. You can't do it. You can't fast. It doesn't make you fast.
People in our audience who we know relatives are old.
They have fasting every Monday and Thursday that fasting and Ramadan. They fasten the fast of that wall, and 70 years old. No.
We're going to tell those uncles and those relatives, look You don't even have to come to the masjid.
So we have all of those I had of the Quran. Were majha dilate confit demon harridge Min letter A B Kumi Brahim. Allah didn't make any difficulty on you people in your deen. This is the middle of your father Brighton, no herridge.
You know, the Christians and the Jews. They've been spoken about in detail in the Quran. And we make that dua every day, guide us to the Serato Musa team, not to the ones who Allah is angry with and those who work straight and we say I mean,
well, one of the things they used to do, it seems to do this asceticism, where they were fast Allah, and they were hit themselves. Just recently in the newspaper here. There's a vicar, who's very old reasons. 80s. He's in court right now.
Protecting a lady who was one of His followers, one of the members of his community. And he was persecuting that lady that's in the paper right now. The man was going to take her teeth out with pliers, told her she has to suffer in order to reach Jesus and reach Jana. It was sadistic, it's in the papers right now. Allah mentioned that in the Quran. robear neoteny Peda Ruha Maka tip na to him. That is a form of asceticism that those people made up for themselves. Allah didn't write that
for them. Allah didn't tell you to go into Zarya, and sit in the corner for hours talking about who will will tell you to do that. Allah told you to make vicar Yes. But he also told you get a job and help yourself and help your family and help your community and be somebody.
That's the Rama
Have a snap. mini mini mini I get for in a minute but for in the miles we use raw animals we use raw.
You got problems, those problems won't remain with you forever. Someone right now was under a lot of stress. I went to Mecca and Medina. I was so grateful so happy. I didn't have anything in my mind connected to this place where I was worried. You know, if you are worried anxiety, stress, you can go to Mecca and Medina. But after you finish what you're doing, you come to your hotel room every night. You're thinking about the problem messing your head.
I went there easy. And I came back from the lab easy. Someone's in this room right now. He has an issue now that he thinks about is a man is a problem. That feeling gonna last with you forever. Allah doesn't allow it to last forever with every difficulty there is ease. So what's the point here? The point is those is all of them many more, they go to show, we have a Lord who was faring just Chintu
not going to be a person having problems forever.
Now we look at the a Hadith of the Prophet. Look at Hiro Mahi. Salah was a meanie a hadith, Hadith wanting us being rough and tough on ourselves and rough and tough on other people in Ramadan and outside of Ramadan. This is the religion of ease. Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu semana days of varied after Ramadan, he let the Muslims play in the masjid he that his wife issues a young girl look at men who were playing with the spears. And he encouraged the people to play and eat. And he said that
their Eid is the day of eating for us being happy and marry buying gifts.
Some of us are we see in the day of Eid is if someone says to you read Mubarak, yes, the Companions didn't say that. They said the cup Bill Allahu Minh now women come but someone says a Mubarak and he takes out a knife he takes out a sword figuratively and wants to chop your head off because you said read Mubarak.
Yeah, he there II The Prophet said and he, I am agreeing with you. These are the days of eating and drinking and being married.
Anyway, why did he let the Companions play in MSG? He told the reason why. He says so that the yahood and the Christians will know about Islam that I've been given. He said Salatu was Salam. And Niebuhr if to Bill 100 fear to somehow I've been sent with religion that makes things easy for the people. Gentle kind. We have celebrations with the celebrations always connected with La Ilaha illa Allah, this connected with sugar. They're connected with yomo Kiama is not just having fun, and
because life is not about fun.
And I'm when I'm gonna lie to dunya let Ebola was in tune with the fact Quran bein Hakuna Matata, Catherine, Phil Oh, lad. Well, um, while the dunya is a problem, but there are aspects of the dunya that okay, like getting married, and having children. If my little man who's here right now, I'm sure inshallah shave. What would happen if that little boy came to this room and started walking right now. I'm going to stop this talk and get up and pick my baby up and hug him and smell him.
Because I haven't seen that dude in 10 days.
Those are the good things of the dunya. So the dad can't come into the house. He can't smile. There's no love between brothers, or there's love between brothers and toleration between brothers. But when we go home we rough with our mothers and fathers and brothers and sisters and husbands and wives. Well now hola Winnetka with a levy so if you want to know about the ease of his SNAM as it relates to the fasting of Ramadan, it is clear.
The Prophet said SallAllahu it was setting them one in this community and advising by Shirou when I attend a funeral as Cyril a sin were to zero. He said to all of us, give people bad tidings and don't run them away from the deen. Make things easy for the people and don't make things difficult for the people. Your baby is only six years old. Don't make them fast. The whole of Ramadan. They don't fast an hour two or three let them fast on a weekend.
Take it easy, like the Companions used to do with their children. They had them faston But they gave them baby dolls and toys to play with
Keep them preoccupied. And if they couldn't handle it, they didn't break their fast. They didn't punish the kid in the mud, wrestle with Islam, beating them up, teaching them the Quran, making them hate Ramadan. Like those guys in that place where I went to where I found myself the institution of hard knocks, and he told me after fads from so that the federal to Sultan Orisha in the summertime, are you serious? That's what my son says. Are you serious?
A messenger of allah sallallahu wasallam acts as companions to you people know who the Hellfire is haram upon. Do you know who the Hellfire is haram upon haram. They say who is it haram upon goddess hula? He said son Allah What are you sending them on a coolie Hainan? Leonin? Salim carry but Hellfires haram upon every person who is easy going. I'm a COBOL. He gets along with people, and he's close and he deals with people is haram on him.
But what about that guy who's so intolerant? Person who he can't tolerate people? Judgmental? We all know that guy. We all know him.
You didn't pronounce a Salam aleykum correctly, is it come? Oh man back up and slow down and pump your brakes. And from the projects. I don't know what the aim is from a Hamza, relax yourself. He's one of those guys makes us say I don't want to be around that guy. Because I'm afraid to say I sit down why they come to people. You know, the African Americans in America were non Muslims. They'll say to you. Salaam aleikum. Brother. Salam aleikum. That's how they say when I'm gonna say it's not
Salam aleikum is a Salam wa ala man, at least he says something that's a window of opportunity to give him Dawa. You can see that
Hellfire is haram on the one who was gentle, easy, amicable, and he's close. He gets along with people. Oh, there's that father who's rough and tough.
He can sit down with his children
can sit down with his son 1670 They have nothing in common.
So we have a number of a Hadith from the prophets of Allah, Allah when he was selling them, telling us Don't be rough and tough.
person who's gentle, easy, in close proximity to people we may Umrah and in the camera, I kept telling the people, it's a perfect environment and opportunity to give Dawa to people sometimes they don't wear hijab. Sometimes they don't pray. Sometimes they make an aura. The environment is conducive to Dawa. So do I get up there and start talking like a madman? No, we got to talk to the people in a way that they understand. A chef and Benny Rahmatullah. I may hear that Tao that we
learn from him. I don't like the Tao of the people came late and said I was said if you're stronger than el banni, we say Kela. That's not true. And Benny Ben basil thing mean that Darwin understand that was gentle, he used to say to the people, hop, the appeal, lighter stuff, Taylor who be asylee become the hack is heavy, when you have to hop you want to give it to people is heavy, it's not easy to embrace. For most people, men take the hawk, you have to have a level of you know, radula, to
take the hump, got to be a man to receive the hop. He said don't make the truth heavier. By having a bad method of relaying the truth.
That's for our sisters, that's for our brothers. That's for the mothers, that's for the fathers. That's for the fatigues of the message. That's for the administration of the message. That's for them. Well, I'm the mother Quran. The Quran has the hook is heavy. You're gonna make a heavy on the child by beating the child
as a Muslim, you're gonna make it heavy on the child as his mother. He has a full day at school, regular school and then after regular school has to go to the madrasa and he never gets a chance to breathe, at least during the week and take him to one of those spots and get him waffles and ice cream.
Get him a bike.
Praise him for what he did.
So there are many a hadith that come in this regard. The names of Allah Shan indicate because Allah will do that right Nana Rahim and Helene Latif is a Laffel He forgives and he loves to party
Prophet Muhammad was like that. So Allah Allahu Allah, he was sending.
Those ayat of the Quran told you take it easy.
And then we have what we just mentioned, many, many a hadith. The Prophet mentions Allah Allah who it was my kind of rough country che in lezana. Gentleness was never put inside of something except that it made it beauty, beautiful, and roughness and toughness was never put inside of something, except that it made it ugly.
Be gentle yaki be Rafi, take it easy. Hi, Rachael Muthana rune, Harlequin Matana, their own Harlequin Muthana their own ideas. Those who are rough and tough will be destroyed. Those who are rough and tough will be destroyed. Those who are rough and tough will be destroyed. I can't go through all of these ideas. There are many, but we're going to shift in sha Allah.
But before doing that,
the Prophet said Salallahu it was setting him or his companions described them They said my hood Yura Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam bein a moraine. Illa Tara Torah a set of Houma the Messenger of Allah was never given a choice between two things, you're going to do this or that whenever he gave you had a choice to do this or that he always chose the easiest of the two. The easiest of the two, not the most difficult of the tool. That's the fifth of Islam. He always chose
the easiest, always
a hadith many, but we have to go on Shama and that's the name of that Allah Who Tyler has given him as he mentioned for be my rock button min Allah He linked Hello. Welcome to Foveon releasable. Robbie vocal lung fog Do Min Holic yeah Muhammad. It was a Rama from Allah that you Muhammad with gentle and easy with them. Because if you are rough and tough with I will bucket online with man and Annie and with his companions, the men the women the Shabaab if you were rough with them, you would
have run them away from this religion. But Allah helped you to be like that.
Let's get into the essence of the topic. The next five minutes Sharla Ramadan look at the ease of Ellis that Allah said in the Quran. Yeah, a una Rena Amman cookie by Lake Como Siyam will come cootie by Alan Levine in public comme la la quinta de con, I Yamen ma do that and fasten is prescribed on you like it was prescribed to people before you in the hopes that you'll Learn Tagalog. Allah said and the fast is for few days. 29 days 30 days. It's not for whole year.
Now for 11 months straight. Some of us have just been sliding and gliding. No fast. That's not haram that you didn't fast. The Day of Arafah you didn't fast Monday or Thursday through the whole year since Ramadan. You just fasted Ramadan, so he just was sliding and gliding. And now Ramadan is around the corner inshallah. No problem. So only for a few days. That's a wrap up.
Can you imagine if we had to fast for two months, three months, six months, that would have been rough and tough on us, we wouldn't have been able to do it, many of us.
So that is a sign. Ramadan is easy. Islam is easy. Another example of that is the Prophet used to fast SallAllahu wasallam. continuously without breaking his fast. It's called del Rizal. He will fast without breaking his fans. Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday without breaking his fast. When the Companions found that out, they started doing it. When he found out that they were doing he said don't do it. They say but you do it. He says of Allah who it was salam in nee let's
talk Uh, hey, I had
a beat over your Eleni rugby, will you see me? He said, I'm not like you people. I'm not like you people. I fast, consecutively, days upon days. But when I go to sleep, my Lord gives me food and my Lord gives me water that drink. You're not like that.
So that goes to show fasting consistent consistently without breaking your fast is from the Sunnah. But it's a sunnah that you can't do and I can do marry more than 140 women at the same time is a sunnah, but it's not the Sunnah that you and I can do
Whew. So they are the subnets that we do, and then as soon as we don't do
but can you imagine? If we had to fast without breaking our fans, that's the Wrath of Allah. That's the ease of Elysa you want to see another one? Prophet Muhammad when he used to fast of Allah what He was selling them, and this is for the caveman from amongst us. We got cavemen, CRO magnon man, he's a caveman, rough and tough. He might as well be carrying one of those clubs because he's like that. No romance, no gentleness with his family. Problem I met when he used to find some a light he
was sending him. Did you know that he would kiss his wives.
He will kiss his wives to show affection while he was fast in
just the kiss of affection. I'm going to the message chain honey. I'll be right back and he kissed his wife. That's the Sunnah.
As for the young brother, who got married right before Ramadan, and SHA Dawn, don't kiss your wife, man. You don't kiss your wife. I'm telling you don't kiss your wife. But the man who has been married for many he's been in it. Look at the gentleness and the ease of Alice lamb.
Another example of that is those people who are older in our community,
Allah revealed the eye yet and fast and while I levena, UT Hakuna, who fit the time human skin, if a person is old 7075 8085 and he finds it difficult, fast, and he could fast and he can get through Ramadan. But after Ramadan, he's gonna get sick. He's gonna get sick. And let's say you don't have to fast. You just feed a poor person for everyday you don't fast. He has diabetes. He has high blood pressure. He's going Siena, he Cathars because he's strong. He comes from the mountains of Pasha
when,
for example.
He comes from somewhere in Afghanistan for an example. He comes from somewhere like Bassam, so he's a strong person, his environment made them strong.
He's been eating camels, meat, all his life, that man is strong. He didn't eat is poison of what we be eating, processed food. He's strong, he can fast, but fast and is going to do what to him. It's going to cause him to become sick. He doesn't have to fast at that age, although he can do it. If it's going to harm him, he doesn't have to do it. But what he does is he feeds a poor person. That's the ease of Al Islam.
From the ease of Islam from fasting is the soul, what the agents called the savory, the Sohar and the Iftar.
Prophets, Allah says, I'm told this OMA to huddle for NFE Baraka take the morning breakfast before you fast. Why? Because if you eat in the morning before Fajr comes in, that it gives you some fuel to deal with part of the day.
But what do we do? You guys are going to get the calendar that says you should take your Sohar your salary an hour before Fajr, just so that you'll be sure you didn't go past the time. So you ate in an hour before the time that's against the ease of Islam. That's against the ease.
He says of Allah when he was selling them, if one of you was taking your so whore, and you have the cup in your hand, and the event goes off while you do it, he said go ahead and finish what you had. Don't put it down, throw it away, leave it for later. He said go ahead and finish it. And the event is going on
as the Rama of the newbie of Islam, so Allah what He was sending them. As for the Iftar he said that the prophets and the messengers will order all of them. When they pray, they shall hold their hands like this since a lot. And when it comes to the so hold, they should make it as close to fudge as possible. And when it comes to breaking their fast, they should break their fast immediately. As soon as they hear that, then, oh, they break their fast
before he even gets out Akbar when he says oh, he's breaking his fast.
But what do we do, then? Well, everyone has their Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar and his brothers like this.
making dua do is good. But that's against the Sunnah right there. And that's not consistent with the ease of fasting and the legislation of ease, break your fast and then make
DUA and you'll be able to combine all of that higher without going against the Sunnah
Abdullah animus Oh used to tell the people follow the Sunnah it to be on what to do follow the Sunnah and don't innovate. I only have a few more when we're going to get out Inshallah, from the ease that we see in our religion, from the lessons of fasting is the fact that the prophets of Allah Allah, what do you say to him said, if one of you is fasting, and you accidentally forgetting you eat and you drink, don't worry about it. Allah made you drink and Allah made you eat, you know that
could have went against you.
That could have been a legislative act where you a and you drink in the daytime and Ramadan. So now you have to fast two months consecutively for breaking your fats. No you forgot and in our religion we say Rob Benalla to a given that in the Siena our Donna, forgive us if we forget or we make a mistake. If you drink or E accidentally you will shop in the wife is shopping. She picked something up to Tasty she tasted thing and someone said oh me over you, you're fasting. You don't have to take
that out and throw it away. Just eat it.
It's the ram of Allah.
The last two that I want to meet you to shine lives with Joel is
what is not from the Rama was not from the Rockman I'm done here in sha Allah is listen.
I give Dawa. I'm the Imam of the Masjid. I cooperate with green lane and other ministers here I want to say to all messages and all people who are responsible for messages and administration. Prophet Muhammad told us Allah Allah, why did we send him anyone who takes responsibility of the affairs for the Muslims and he's rough and tough with them. Allah will be rough and tough you make dua that Allah is rough and tough on you. You are responsible for the affairs of the Muslim Take it easy.
You're the imam in the coalmine. Nas fell you have faith fenomen whare he a severe of dive and married willful hygiene. If any of you lead the people in this salah, make your Salah quick because behind you is old people sick people someone has something to do gotta go to work. So let's it was not easy is on the 27th night of Ramadan. It could be later to Qatar it could be some of the companions swore that it's on later to Qatar. And I was listening to the talk of Abu Sohaib on the
way from the airport. I was super motivated by that talk. That was a good talk. Sleep overtook me and next thing I knew I was sleep I was I keep listening to it. But the beginning of that talk. I said I have to go back and listen to that. He was rolling. He was cooking with oil. That was a nice talk. And he mentioned about the Quran being revealed on the 24th night of Ramadan. I don't know if anybody asked a question. But I thought the Quran was revealed and are nice later to cover. He used
that hadith about how the Torah in Jews are born cannot reveal in the month of Ramadan. Then anybody asks that question.
Anyway.
On the 27th night, and the Imam is making this long do out of keynote. This is not easy. So not easy. There was a people in the line and their feet are hurting and their legs are burning. We've been fasting all month. 2627 days we've been fasting. And now we pray. And you've given us this long Diwan we ain't listening to that dua. We like thinking about our feet. We think about our legs and our knees. That's what we're thinking about. You find one guy putting his foot down putting the
other foot down and then you're saying I mean one is looking for bogeys the other one looking around.
That is no you got to take it easy 27th night they share the man the teacher, every salon of taraweeh he has to talk after four rakaats every night I have to talk every night give the people a break
give the people a break on the 27th night we want to get money want to get money so we asked for the money two hours no extra money two hours
take it easy
from what we have to take it easy with the people on in the month of Ramadan is as well. We don't have to use read a whole Jews of the Quran. Allah mentioned the crown chakra Murthy yes sir Luca
mineral Quran we what is easy for you. Now if this mischief one example of that mystery they want to use a read the whole Jews no problem. You don't have to come here. So if the masjid decides to do that, don't come to the masjid and say why you guys make it tough on people.
No, don't do that you just go to another masjid. And I am with that amount of read the Alignable when he saw the Muslims, and all of those groups making the salaat and it was the life and then he put them on one reader, that one reader, he would read long. He gave another group of people, the intermediate people the meeting, he gave them another email so that he could read in the middle. And then he gave a third group of people another email, who read short, a little so that everybody can
have his choice. From the Rama of Al Islam, that we've seen Ramadan, you can shoot in your prayer. You can combine your you don't have to fast when you're traveling.
So brothers in sha Allah azza wa jal take the overall picture of the lesson and the overall picture of the lesson as we prepare for Ramadan is take it easy in your religion and take it easy on yourself and take it easy with the people around you. You're in a household where the people are not practicing know that people are on innovation and you realize the sooner you know what it is. Take it easy with IT people take it easy.
