those amongst us who will hear this first on a min but for the last time.

I want you to take a moment to think about that. I don't know who know who they are.

But there are people who will hear this on a member for the last time it could be me it could be you

at the end of Ramadan as we approach the last couple of meters.

Certainly next Friday will be Eid.

I want to remind you that it's not over until it's over.

Until the majority of the last day of Ramadan goes off. It is not over. Doesn't matter what you did before. Doesn't matter how much effort you put in initially.

Doesn't matter how much time was wasted at the beginning. As long as there is one minute, one second left within Ramadan, you still have a chance that Allah subhanaw taala grants you exactly what you were looking for. Exactly what you need.

is not permissible for a Muslim to ever lose hope. In the compassion and mercy of Allah subhanho wa Taala ever ever ever. And as long as there's time in Ramadan, there is time

maybe he's accepted Subhana wa Tada a number of people already.

But as long as I'm hold on has not ended yet there is still a chance for you to meet to be accepted. We can still get accepted that last second. When you look at the Prophet alayhi salatu salam you learn from him that this is how he thought this is how he lived his life. He never gave up

till the last moment he was always

Standing out it used salatu salam

when he went on the in the 10th year of trying to get bribes to listen to him when he did the ABA and we went and he spoke to the different tribes.

He spoke to over 26 tribes that year 26 tribes within those nine to 10 days of HUD.

He was rejected by all of them.

It was the last day of a Yamagishi the last day, there are three days of minute most people two days and they leave, but there's a third day, the last day of Yamagishi

right before miserable once Maghrib is done once the sunsets the last day, but yeah, my hygiene is over.

He stayed out of your salon to us, and I'm in Mina until there was no one left

until there was not one person left out of your salon to us. And I continued to swatch standard minute looking for those who would listen to him.

And the group that listen to him was the last group to leave Mina

because they were waiting in line to get a haircut because they're all 2120 1918 year old boys.

No one would no one would give them priority. Because all the shoe will come up. And all of a sudden it would get their turn first because nepotism runs in our blood apparently.

So he stayed they stayed till the end because no one would give you have to wait until the doctor haircut there was no one left in minim everyone had gone everyone was gone everyone

six boys waiting for their turn for get a hairdryer or left. He went and he spoke to them said Allah honey so I hope you'll sell them and thus the story that you now know and the story that you now know came from that interaction that he had with the six young men from your three

step till the end till the last minute till the last second. You're there and if you do that Allah subhanaw taala will accept you so there's still what six nights left the six nights that maybe seven? Probably not but maybe

there's always a chance

your email will hurry and in the video SallAllahu Sallam Can you tell you do I share with our kitty meow Ramadan Maria Gita he do it he

remember he tells us the Prophet Alayhi Salatu was Salam Hadith narrated to us by

environment

that the Prophet alayhi salaatu wa salaam would put an effort in the last 10 days of Ramadan that which you would not do any other time of the year.

Specifically in the last 10 nights of Ramadan, so Allah Allah as I'm sitting here putting the effort

to say that he will hurry as well. He said done and never use that Allahu alayhi wa salam either

Ramadan yearly, you know who was a fellow who was shared with me.

In the last 10 nights of Ramadan entered the Prophet alayhi salatu salam granted his nightlife here illegally who he resurrected his night

you see Ali Assad was said I'm gonna pray the MLL every night of his life, but he would sleep as well. He would sleep a good portion of the night

not not in the last two nights of Ramadan maybe an hour here an hour there but that's it. He was up by they used a lot to throw him in prayer and he would wake his family would make his wife he wouldn't do that out of your Salah to a cinema outside of these nights aside from facial and he would let people sleep if they didn't want to wake up from me let them do that last night Ramadan makeup issues around waking up faulty not waking up it making sure everyone's up. You can't afford to miss these nights you can't afford to miss the if I love you. I'm not going to let you miss these nights.

Well shut them at zero and this is a figure of speech or a metaphor for putting in his full effort on a hill salatu salam like you're getting yourself ready for something

awesome in Bukhari, the prophet audio Salatu was told by a bunch of his bahagia who join us have you know the use of Allah Allah wa sallam?

Arena killing monogamy. Leila Audrey

Ramadan they had seen in their dreams that the little party was in the last seven nights of Ramadan. Carla Simone license what he said the pilot Oh, yeah, cool. But

our theory

from Inca motohio LEAH failure to have

our Karima Ramadan, it seems like your dreams are all agreeing that it should last seven nights. So those of you who want to look for it, maybe look for it in the last seven days of Ramadan, which is what you have ahead of you.

When he was asked by Sita, I shouted Allahu iunknown Y'all are sued Allah, Allah eaten in a rush to her MA pool. If I ended up witnessing

if I'm praying through a night and I feel that this is this is it and what is it that I should say? What's the best draw for me to see? So he says to them, I said them coolly Allah whom in Nica I feel when Taheebo laughter five one

you see when when the Karim Subhana wa Tada opens up the doors

you

You ask big, he go big. When he opens up his doors, I know what's Allah and he offers you. You don't you don't go small. You don't dream small. No, no, you dream big. Yes, you ask for the ultimate reward you ask for offer will ask for a full pardon.

All throughout the month, we asked her his compassionate panel what to add to his forgiveness upon.

But on the night of budget, we asked for a pardon. Now, it's hard to get that. But that night specifically, it's worth it's worth the dream. It's worth asking for it. You may wonder, what's the difference between the two? Oh, there's a big difference. Oh, there's a difference. I can tell you the difference is quite phenomenal. Very significant for you on the Day of Judgment, the difference between something forgiven and something pardon? Is he forgiven is still written in your book.

And those books come flying in the sky and hopefully in sha Allah, you take it in your right hand. See, I mean, I mean, then you turn to the pages and you're reading and you see sins that are documented. But the stamp of forgiveness is on top of them. They're forgiven, but they're there. When you're told.

You're told read your book. GAFA bnmc Kallio Malaika. See, but today, you're going to judge yourself.

You're gonna have to read them.

You're going to have to read what's written in that book. You got to read the sin and talk about it. It's forgiven. But you have to read it.

You have to recite it back back. Yeah, on this day.

What I did

not have much of a good reason for it, but that's what I did. It seems like hamdulillah Robbie, you forget forgave it. Yeah. But you'll be reminded of it. You see, when your pardon? That doesn't happen. When your pardon doesn't exist in your book anymore. It's not written there. It's like it never happened. No, no, no, no, no, no, it never happened. Not only does Allah subhanaw taala remove it from your book. Now only do the melodica who wrote it, forget about it. Now only do the people who witnessed it. Forget it, but only those who had to deal with its consequences. Forget about it.

By the time you're done, you're a sub you forget about it. And the only one who knew that this ever happened is ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada. Otherwise, it never happened. It never happened.

This is what I feel is I've always a chance to get rid of everything. remove it completely. It's not on your book anymore. You have sins that you wish you never did. You have sins that you don't want to come and talk about your milk piano, you'd be very embarrassed if you had to read them out loud in front of anyone.

It'd be very difficult to read in front of someone that you knew that you wouldn't want them to know that this was the case to begin with. If you have something like that in your life, then these are the nights

these are the nights because Subhanallah what's out open those doors open as wide as they'll ever be. And there's a good chance that you can get a pardon. Allahu Nica foon to hit bullseye for you love to pardon. He loves to pardon Subhana wa Tada. It just has to be the right person at the right time. It has to be the right person, it has to be the right time. For one guy, that's our partner.

And this is the value of the last 10 nights of Ramadan. He hits within them so that you push yourself for 10 Nights, you prove yourself a little bit. You show up you show a certain degree a certain intention, a certain commitment, a certain desire and what Allah subhanaw taala has hidden for you has for you gentlemen,

to Ramadan.

Ramadan builds within us duckula and closeness that's the goal of it.

He builds within you that system. You see for a full month you're living with ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada for a full month. You think about Allah, Allah and Ramadan you can't deny it. You're always thinking of Allah subhanho wa Taala every movement every moment of the day, there's something that's connecting you to Allah Subhanallah you're very connected to Allah within Ramadan for a full month. You do that so then inshallah you see the beauty of it. You see the sweet nectar of being connected to Allah subhanaw taala that you tasted Ramadan. The goal is that you say I don't want to lose this again. I would like this to continue for the rest of my life. So you continue it after, but that's

why Allah subhanaw taala made sia obligatory. cookiebot Alikum Why was actually I'm Christy Ballina, looking to goon but you may finally see the beauty of Taqwa of being close to always reminding yourself of Allah subhanaw taala throughout your day before your decisions before your choices. And then you actually achieve that closeness and this beautiful things you keep on going to the end of the page and those verses in Ramadan of see I'm talking about the need for in your party, but one of My servants ask you about Me. I am indeed near here. I am near have always been. It's not just about oh my god, I'm always here. But you'll learn about this Ramadan. In this lesson month you learn that

Allah subhanaw taala is always there. He's near he's always listening. Why lose that? It's not like he leaves you after Ramadan. You We are the ones who walk away. It's not him. He's still there. Subhana wa

other eyes, willing to listen to you as ever.

The promise of a response to your DUA is the same as not gone, nothing is changing. The only change is us. We're the ones who walk away. Were the ones who stopped coming. We were the ones who stopped praying, figuring them out, or we're the ones who stopped praying. They shut in Gemma were the ones who stopped coming to the masjid and reciting the Quran and learning it's us, not in spite of what God wants you to taste it here. See the beauty of being with me for a month. Why not continue like that? When I continue like that, this is why I created you. Be close to me. And then we walk away. Agenda and who makes sure that every year there's Ramadan because if you fail this year, just

continue to do it. Then I'll give you another chance next year. And I'll give you another chance next year. These chances that continue on from Allah subhanaw taala because he wants to close he wants you near Subhana wa Tada

there's nothing else to think about in these last two nights, but that concept,

just contemplate that he wants you near here. That's the point of all of this. You had you live with him for a month on the field of beauty. Stay with it. Stay with him for as long as you can for the rest of your life till the end. As the Prophet I think your son was until the end till about last moment till the last breath as you exhale in

the far future inshallah. When you exhale that last breath me exhaled with the love of Allah subhanaw taala coming out with it. With la isla in Allah moving with it because you never you never stopped. Because when he opened his doors for you subhanho wa Taala Ramadan, you never closed them and you stuck and you stayed and you stayed until the end. So we can do your intention is to do brothers and sisters. Renew your intentions of what you started out this month wanting to do I know I know you're tired, tired. I know you're tired and you're hungry and you're thirsty, and you're deprived of sleep. Please don't complain to me, believe me, but that's fine. This is the few times

in your life where your fatigue, your fatigue that you feel right now is mature. And you're getting rewarded for feeling the way you feel. You feel tired, you feel hungry and thirsty, you feel that you get a feel for it doesn't happen all the time. Not every time you're tired in life do you get sent out for that? But as you sit here right now Tired, hungry and thirsty, you are banking as soon as you just sit there feeling that way? Because this was for the sake of Allah subhanho wa Taala even your fatigue is for the sake of Allah so when you go into sleep because you're so tired, you get set up for that. This is what Ramadan does for you. This is what Ramadan offers you

The Prophet alayhi salaatu wa salaam would spend a lot of time in Ramadan doing Attica, especially in the last 10 nights. And I think the concept of coming and staying in the masjid until it's over. I don't think that it's possible anymore in the context that we have. I think it's very difficult. Some people can do it most people can't.

What can be done? Is the concept being clear, not decaf, what it means I guess I like shape meaning you're focusing on something. You're not distracted by anything else. That's the word in the Quran. Aquafina is used many times, meaning you're totally focused,

preoccupied centralized to one thing, you're not thinking about anything else. And that's the concept you got to pick up. You go to the messy and you only you're only thinking of one thing you care about one thing it's like, it's like you're stamped with the word walk fun you nonnamous beside their stamp to walk me in there only for the sake of Allah, they can't be sold to us or anything else. It's like you're stabbing yourself I am well, I am for the sake of Allah and only for the sake of Allah for these 10 Nights. So whether you are actually sleeping and waking up inside of a masjid all day long, or you're going to work because you have a job and need to take care of your family.

You can be you can have that concept. The concept of ethic if can be practiced, even if you're not physically in a masjid all the time. All you have to do is say I am for the sake of Allah for the tenseness these 10 Nights, nothing else. I'm not going to be focused on anything else. Everything else can wait.

Everything else can wait it has time for it. I am focused on my relationship with Allah subhanho wa Taala everything I say everything I do, everything I want to achieve is just being closer to Allah subhana wa Jalla because he opened his doors, he wouldn't be inappropriate and almost borderline disrespectful, that he opens his doors and we don't care. But we don't need what he has to find.

We're not We're not requiring what Allah Subhanallah is offering. When he opened when the generous one opens the doors, all those who are in need stand in line. They get up and they stand in line. They stay there until the doors close. If they truly want what the Kadeem has and nicotine would never turn someone back. If you're standing up. If you're standing in line waiting for your turn trying you're not going to sit down until the end is impossible that the generous will not give you the impossible. It doesn't happen in the world that we live in. Okay, Allah subhanaw taala is the most generous, you stand in line for what he has subhanho wa Taala and he will not deprive you of

it.

You're really inevitable hurry,

are told here that the Prophet alayhi salatu salam made obligatory upon the Muslims free or slave

me male or female, young or old farm in Tamil or so I mean show you this $15 to the equivalent of 15 bucks today

that should be given out before salata laid in just don't try to eat it's still worship, you still have to give it but you lose the level of zicatela

majority of metalhead are okay with you starting getting it almost now. The vast majority of mudarabah are fine with you starting giving your comments below today today. This is a reminder to all of you to do that. If you're especially for this is for the men specifically or majority or goes for the men if you're a family. If you have a family you're responsible for giving us the goddess filter for your family your wife isn't you are you count the number of people in your family if your wife is pregnant, you count the pregnancy as well especially if it's over four months. And even if it's not, I always say count is only 15 bucks counted anyway hamdulillah Allah Allah has given us

more than we will ever need. The condition of the filter is that you just have enough food for the day

to occur and you actually pays okay, you need to solve. You need a couple of $1,000 in your bank account sitting there for a year so you can pay this guy that filter you just get enough food for the day. You have enough food for the day. Tell us then you get forgotten

and you pay it to those. I mean I bet us tells us Fidel Rasulullah he said Allah How are you Santa Monica Delafield three? Well rotten you saw me in a love Weaver refers

he made it obligatory as an act of purification, or the fasting of those who fasted from all of the things they said wrong and things they did wrong during their fasting. All the mistakes that we make during our fasting as we want Allah to either accept it is the God's will filter is to purify is to purify our fasting. It's like to make up for all of the mistakes and sins and lack of adherence to the actual way of fasting That's why Allah subhanaw taala made this for

A

metal Messiah keen.

And to help them a scheme

to help someone need to make sure that Muslims around the world and their children can also enjoy aid.

A lot of them don't.

A lot of them don't.

The children can't enjoy it, they don't have new clothes, they don't have enough money to go buy, what their friends are buying, they can't run around and have a good time like everyone else. And an almost 2 billion people, I can't imagine how that's acceptable. I just can't, I just can't wrap my head around. I can't see the logic and I can't see why that was the case. See, there's more wealth in this OMA than ever before. Historically, this is the wealthiest it's almost ever been. How is it that some of our children are gonna get up on the day of age, with, with jealousy in their hearts with a broken heart because they don't have what they want. Their parents don't can't do anything

about it. You see, we celebrate. Please understand this, please teach this your children, we celebrate through giving. That's how we celebrate. We don't celebrate by taking by accepting gifts we celebrate by giving. That's how we celebrate. When you come to the filter. When it comes to that aid. You celebrate it by giving. Before you go for someone to aid you give you make sure that someone is happy. You make sure that someone enjoys their day because of you. That's how you celebrate by giving someone you do the same thing. How you slaughter you feed, you make sure someone's going to eat that thing, meet something that they not everyone gets to eat all the time.

This is the concept that we have in Islam, when we celebrate we give we give. These are the Knights give.

That is the guy that should be the least that we're doing the least the smallest amount adds up. What is it? What does that add up to them 60 100 bucks, depending on how big your family is.

Give as much as you can make sure let's try and make sure at least least locally, maybe in places that are obviously affected by by anybody by catastrophes and by disasters and by war that we don't let people get up for the morning have Aiden and feel less than everyone else. It's just it's just not the right way. I don't know how we can enjoy it. I don't know how we can wake up and eat and go out and enjoy ourselves knowing that there are others out there who aren't. And it doesn't take that much for them to be that for them to enjoy. It doesn't take that much. It's not that much of an investment. Just a little bit of collaboration, a little bit of generosity, show generosity during

these days and nights and Allah subhanaw taala will show you the same thing. He will show you the same it's impossible. You can't you can't out. Give ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada. That's the point. This is what the Sahaba understood that if you do something good, you can't compete with God. You can't compete with Allah subhanaw taala if you're being really good as possible, he's gonna go ahead, go ahead be good. No, if you're a good he'll be better MonteCarlo by Ilya shibaura up to La he's era attorney MC I tell you how to well, if you come close to me.

A couple of meters I'll come a couple of kilometers close to you. If you come walking to come running to you, Jeddah Allah

subhanahu wa Donna is no, it's all metaphorical, obviously. But this one he's explaining to us Do you just show show me your good and I'll show you better. I'll show you better.

Allah subhanaw taala. Accept from us our good deeds of Ramadan and grant us the joy of the day of aid. I hope that was of benefit to you at the end. And just a few reminders. So there's a survey, the QR code is still up there. Please fill it out, if you haven't already. And Please distribute it to your family members that aren't people who are regulars at the masjid. Make sure you get it to them. We don't serve them very well, in our institutions. I've been here for 10 years now we don't do a very good job and out reaching out to Muslims who don't find it comfortable coming to a messed up who lost their way a while ago. We need to know who they are, where they are, what their problems

are. And this survey is to offer us a little bit of a census, please fill it out in your family. And that is for each family get one person fills out the survey and then send it to those and encourage them to do the same so that we can gather this data, we can share it there's no personal information being taken about it. We don't want trying to figure out where you live. We just want to know I want to know who it is who we have here how many people what their demographics are and how we can better serve them to please take some time and do that so I can be located and distributed to people around you. Most likely to either filter is going to be Friday. That's the most likely case. Unless no one

country in the world sees in Hillel it's going to be Friday the council has already put out the poster last night.

So if it is there's a few things first of all, it will not occur in this Masjid. Okay, do not ask me the question. We will never not now not in 100 years we will never have even dismissed you. Second thing is that on Friday whenever he comes on Friday, you don't have to pray both. The majority of scholars are okay with you praying just one of them one prep

Probably if you miss a then you will pray Jomar right if you miss a then you find a place a place to pray Joomla most likely I won't run a Joomla here most likely because there'll be other centers that are running Joomla so you can go down there if you miss aid, that's the most likely case if it's going to be on Friday we will update you if there's any changes but that's the most likely case you will pray I myself will go to the convention center that is going to have the largest gathering of Muslims and we should all inshallah go there as well. There will be some indoor I don't know exactly the timings of them yet. I will share it throughout the next Ramadan inshallah that are coming but

there will be done in smaller centers so you can attend those if you don't want to go to the to the larger ones, but it's preferable it's so nice to go to the largest gathering of E that exists and that's what we should be aiming for as Muslims in one country in one city. We should always try and perform a together that togetherness of eight is what makes it beautiful and what makes it valuable so I just want to share that with you.
