My dear brothers and sisters our praises to Allah one over Tyler,
The Creator and Sustainer and cherish are the words for is
limitless blessings and bounties. We recognize that we cannot praise
Allah enough. We cannot thank him enough. So let Allah be praised,
as he has chosen to praise himself, as he has been praised by
the messengers and prophets from Adam to Muhammad Ali in salatu
salam.
I testify there is none worthy of worship but Allah subhanho wa
taala. I also testify that Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa
salam in the final messenger, there is no other prophet to come.
And Allah send down the final revelations, through the Quran
that was sent down upon him.
So let us look to the message and the messenger
and emulate the beautiful examples of the messenger
in applying the message the lessons of the Quran in our daily
lives, so that we can attain salvation, so that we can realize
the fullness of the Divine endowments that he has bestowed on
us, as he created each one of us.
Today,
everywhere the Muslim in the Muslim world, the kotoba, the
Hakim's preparing the community to welcome the guest of honor the
greatest guest of honor that could ever visit us every month. It is
the month of Ramadan.
shahada Ramadan radio's Zilla feel Quran, the month of Ramadan is the
month
in which the Quran was first revealed,
as guidance for mankind with clear signs of guidance and distinction
between truth and falsehood.
And therefore, Allah says in order to commemorate this event, and for
other purposes, you already nominal quotevalet Consume while
you believe fasting has been ordained or prescribed upon you,
as it was prescribed or nations before you. So that you attain you
nurture you develop consciousness of Allah subhanho wa taala. So,
here in this ayah, Allah Akbar otter is telling us, even as
prayer charity pilgrimage is any in every one of the great
religious traditions like was fasting is also integral to the
perennial religion that Allah has revealed from the first man and to
the last messenger mama cell allows.
So fasting has been for day and before on other nations before and
now it is already in on us. But it doesn't mean the form of fasting
is the same.
Just like the form of prayer is different
from the one that has been given to us.
Charity the form has varied, the same pilgrimage also vary, but
essentially, the core message is there. And Allah says the purpose
of fasting is the Allah comfortable so that you nurture
consciousness of Allah Spano.
Me we are told by celban and Farsi one of the great companions of the
Prophet salallahu Salam, that Rasulullah Salallahu Salam used to
address his companions on the eve of Ramadan to prepare them to
welcome the guest of honor from Allah.
He said, Yeah, are you a nurse or people Kedah? Hola Hola, como
Shaolin Alima Mobarak a great and most blessed Monday's approaching
It is a Monday in which Allah has, Allah will reward the good deeds
in many faults. So someone who is doing an ordinary Wallander react
to virtuous act, they will be rewarded as if he has done an
obligate three duty military institution ritual. The same way,
an obligatory duty that is performed in the month of Ramadan
equal to 70 such duties performed in other months. And that is why
the Muslim community down through the centuries has
chosen Ramadan for the car and charities the same way they set
aside this month
to see the opportunities the Prophet sallallahu sallam said,
so, you're not an alpha. So you you have to weigh with one another
in doing in seizing your opportunities. You know, we have
behavioral psychologists teach us that if a human being wants to
break a bad habit
and take a new habit,
learn a new habit. It takes 21 days
to gain success. And here is the wisdom of Allah subhanho wa taala.
Allah in His Divine Wisdom has chosen for us one full month
to break out bad habits and start the new habits and to renew our
feet. This is the time we are told the month of Ramadan, the prophets
of our sermons reported to have said you know, there are three
terms in Ramadan first 10 days, he said, base of mercy, the middle
term or days of forgiveness, and the last 10 days or days of
freedom from hellfire. Because, you know as as we enter this
blessed month, and we see the opportunities to renew our faith
to change our habits and to come closer to Allah subhanho wa Taala
breaking the bad habits and acquiring new habits coming closer
to Allah subhanho wa Taala what happens finally, we are we are
freed from hellfire. So, let us never miss the opportunities
of seizing this month let us seize the excellence of this month, this
season this is a this there are many ways scholars have described
the month of Ramadan, they said it is a training course
is a deep training course a most blessed training course. And it
can be used for changing our habits and acquiring new habits.
It can be used to renew our faith. It can This is the opportunity for
us to look at our previous loud life and take stock examine it
engage in introspection, you know any spiritual development.
It cannot happen unless we practice introspection
and examine the life is a fulfilled life. But Allah says
most of the people they just flow go with the flow heedless their
life. They don't examine. They don't think they don't consider
whether this action they are performing today. If they were to
die now,
will it? How they will appear before last? And that is why a
believer always do to examine
every action he performs. He should ask himself, is this
something that could bring me closer to Allah subhanaw taala? Or
is it something takes me away from Allah? subhanaw taala? Is it
something that will bring me closer to Heaven? Or is it
something that would bring me closer to *? So in this way,
when we think and we make that intention to change our habits,
the way we think, the way we plan, the way we prioritize our life,
the way organized we organize our goals and our purpose in life and
how to go about achieving them. asking whether the goal I'm
pursuing in my life is ultimately beneficial for me. Would it save
me from hellfire? Would it help me
To be in, such as in this world, and the next world, these are the
kinds of questions we need to ask. Introspection is very internal to
the spiritual discipline in Islam. And along with that, you know,
Imam Ghazali Ramallah sir trochlea and Paralia trochlea is to purge
these toxins, these diseases, you know, the Envy malice, ill feeling
the disbelieve and agnosticism and all these, you know, toxins which,
you know, create the restaurant or soul, you know, allows one author
created each one of us with a mirror.
If we maintain this mirror, spiritual mirror, spiritual heart,
we can see to test truth. But once we start committing and straying
away from the path, we accumulate a sense, this mirror it becomes
Rusty, and then it reaches a state of ceiling of the heart, lie out
of tomorrow for neuron Grohmann, Cara so that you lose that ability
to see through past truths, right as right and bad as bad. So many
of us will lose this purity of the mirror. And here comes from Alon
to help us polish this mirror. The heart by purging from our heart
are those toxins that spiritual diseases, attachment to world
obsession with wealth, obsession with that profession that you
have, you know, if that profession distracts you from remembrance of
Allah subhanho wa Taala obsession with money word Children Family,
distracting us from performing our duties obeying the last one or
what Allah so that is why Rasulullah Salallahu Salam used to
teach his combat Ian's always say hola hamari Nila Dickey Rekha
Basu. Kritika hostellerie By the way, Allah
helped me to remember you and to worship you.
To thank you and to worship you in the best way. So we need to have
open our heart and ask Allah subhanaw taala to help us so that
our hearts are in grind. We series that intention to utilize this
blessed month as Imam Chava user says Ramadan comes it is like a
loss bond Rotella dropping many many rocks from the sky and you
can cling to these ropes and fly to Allah subhanaw taala meaning to
salvation to achieve that success that he has promised. So, let us
seize the opportunity of the blessed month
by seeking repentance, make it a habit consistently make so far and
secondly, say that bad habit if you are addicted to social media
to WhatsApp or all these channels, which will distract you occupy
your you know, your partner, the time that you should be occupying
in doing good works, and also devoting ourselves to charitable
works good deeds as much as possible. And connecting ourselves
with Allah subhanaw taala through the Quran, reading the Quran. But
don't try to that you will be able to understand the whole of Quran
because Quran has, as Muhammad has said in the last year of his life
told that journalist Quran has really layers of meaning as Rumi
said, you know, you need to go slow in understanding the Quran.
When your heart is Polish. He can see the depth of the Quran, Allah
will will not allow your heart which is rostered to understand
probably the depth of the Quran. So try to come presents you or the
mirror of your soul and try to appreciate the beauty and try as
Dr. A cabal said. You know the best advice I anyone could give in
this life was the advice from my mother or father I don't remember
who my son when you read the Quran. Imagine God is speaking to
you through this book.
Said that has helped me to see the depth of the Quranic message. So
let's use this month to get deeper connection with Allah subhanho wa
Taala and connection with the Quran and also engage in vicar and
do
or make use of the opportunities for taraweeh with the massages are
not open for Cerave that's not an excuse you can do it at home. You
can pray that read Fatiha and pray that recorded Quran and then you
know each raka you can listen to that recitation and go to recall
and come back again after full finishing that Rica and open that
and play that again after you have read fattier, you can do so
inshallah me Allah subhanaw taala help us to see the blessings of
this beautiful bond and as forgiveness of Allah subhanaw
taala. And let us also never forget to pray for humanity, for
our community, Muslim or non Muslim, so that Allah has one or
the law protect all of us from this deadly pandemic. It should
have taught us a lesson that we are always at the mercy of Allah
subhanaw taala we can never be as human beings, we can never be
independent of our Creator. So a symbol virus can bring us to our
knees, as Allah said, is symbol fly your bacteria can bring you
make you helpless, you won't be able to retrieve or recover what
it has taken away from you. This is the verse of the Quran. So this
should be a reminder for us to come to Allah subhanho wa Taala
seeking is repentance and mercy. Surely, Islam is the view of hope.
Islam teaches us there is no room for despair in the vocabulary of a
Muslim, holy, holy ha That was stuck for a long time.
