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
