			Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim Al
hamdu lillah wa Salatu was Salam
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:20
			ala Rasulillah while Ali was her
big Marine.
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:29
			One of the question that people
ask in this last days of the
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:36
			blustery month of Ramadan is how
do we exert ourselves to maximize
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:41
			the blessings of Ramadan during
the last 10 Nights?
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:45
			This is a very important question.
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:48
			I would like to address it today
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:52
			in light of the prophetic
traditions,
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:58
			may Allah subhana wa Taala bless
us blesses, to seize the maximum
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:05
			blessings so that when we come out
of this month, all of our sins are
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:08
			forgiven. And we become eligible
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:14
			to free ourselves by the Grace of
Allah subhanaw taala from
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:15
			hellfire.
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:22
			I Shangri La on the beloved wife
of Rasulullah sallallahu wasallam
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:28
			says kind of Rasulullah sallallahu
alayhi wa salam either the seller
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:33
			Ashura wealthy Roman Ramadan a
year Laila, why Allah Allah who
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:34
			worship Derby Giza,
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:42
			when the messenger of Mercy won
the last 10 nights or days of
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:43
			Ramadan rune year,
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:50
			the prophet of Mercy would exert
himself, prepare himself
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:52
			to
		
00:01:55 --> 00:02:01
			practice night prayers, by
reviving the knights and he would
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:02
			also
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:10
			awaken his family and tighten his
belt, meaning he would stay away
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:18
			from spousal interactions,
intimacy, in order to exert
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:24
			himself, to apply to acts of
worship as best as he can. And he
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:31
			would also want his family to
partake of the blessings. So we
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:36
			are in the last leg of Ramadan,
and we need to seize the
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:44
			opportunity. So that we are prior
service, to worship, devotions.
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:48
			And all of those best deeds that
are recommended in these
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:54
			very precious days and nights we
are witnessing.
		
00:02:56 --> 00:03:00
			One of the most important thing
that we can do in this nights and
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:01
			days is
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:07
			to read the Quran to reflect on
the message and to receive that
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:10
			message in our heart in our soul.
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:17
			And we can do so while praying,
reciting the Quran as best as we
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:21
			can. We can look at the most half
while praying.
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:27
			And there is nothing wrong with
that it was done by the best of
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:33
			the people in the early
generations. And it was a practice
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:39
			precedent set by Aisha Lorna, and
followed by others as well. We can
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:45
			always should also make use of the
last days and nights of Ramadan
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:50
			for spiritual retreat. Of course,
we cannot do it in the masajid.
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:56
			But surely that doesn't mean that
we cannot partake of at least
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:57
			something
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:06
			of its of that spirit by isolating
ourselves to worship as much as
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:10
			possible after fulfilling our
spousal our duties towards our
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:17
			children and family. We should set
aside time for the GRE and reading
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:21
			Quran and also external waffle
prayers.
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:27
			The Quran Allah is one of the most
important habits that we should
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:33
			acquire in this month. The Quran
as we know as we should know, is
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:38
			the Alexia it is the secret. It is
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:45
			the source of joy and peace for
us. A we make it a habit and a
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:53
			second nature. Surely we will
receive that gift of peace and
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:59
			tranquility from Allah subhanho wa
Taala we will remove our anxieties
		
00:04:59 --> 00:04:59
			and worries
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:05
			Today we are faced with one of the
greatest challenges humanity has
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:10
			faced for a long time. And one of
the best antidote against worry
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:16
			and depression is establishing the
habit of zikr. And that they could
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:21
			be our light and let it be a
source of peace for us. And
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:26
			another important thing is, we
must exert ourselves in offering
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:32
			charitable works, and donations
and contributions. And we know
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:35
			millions of people in the world
are suffering.
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:44
			So we should use every opportunity
to help them as best as we can. We
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:51
			should skip some of these wasteful
habits and cut down the habits and
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:57
			the money that we save. We should
give it to the poor and the needy.
		
00:05:57 --> 00:06:01
			And may Allah subhanho wa taala.
Help us
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:09
			to see the maximum blessings and
always remember, to pray, pray to
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:13
			Allah one altar to offer
supplications not only are we
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:18
			behalf of yourselves, but on
behalf of your family and friends,
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:23
			and our community and humanity as
well. May last one hour Karla
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:27
			bless us all. And may Allah help
us to come out of this blessed
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:31
			month, fully forgiven, and
receiving the Divine Mercy as
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:35
			Salaam Alaikum Warahmatullahi
