elders and
beloved
girls in
my kiram, elders and beloved girls in Islam,
very shortly,
once again, Allah subhanaw taala
will bless us with the Mubarak month of Ramadan,
we can analyze
and look within ourselves, the various
emotions,
the various preparation,
intentions
and desires which we hold with regards to the month of Ramadan.
Many, many homes you will find now
the freezes are being packed with samosas, with bhajiyas, with
various fries
in different forms, according to the understanding of different
people. The preparation for the onset of Ramadan is taking place.
If you look into Quran and Hadith, and
we look into the life of Rasulullah sallallahu, alayhi wa
sallam and Sahaba ikaram.
Then we get a clear cut picture of what Ramadan is supposed to
represent,
and what is the actual preparation for Ramadan that should occur
two months prior to Ramadan janavi, Rasulullah sallallahu,
alayhi wa sallam, such would be his zest, and such would be his
zeal and desire for this month, that from the onset of Rajab, he
would already start making dua. Allahu, abari klanafiy, Raja ba
Shabana, Ramadan,
that Oh Allah, bless us in Rajab and Shawn and cause us to remain
alive for the month of Ramadan.
Visharati Allahu taalana says that I never saw him fasting in any
month like I saw him fasting in Shaaban. That is besides Ramadan.
And when I asked him the ya rasulallah, why do you pass so
much in Shaaban, he would say it is in preparation for Ramadan. He
in fact, Rasulullah sallallahu, alayhi wa sallam, in one rewind it
comes. He said, Lo ya Allahu, aybad Maki Ramadan, la Tamanna,
ummati and takuna Sana to Kula ha Ramadan.
He said, If my ummats had to come to know the value of the month of
Ramadan.
We should weigh this revived in the light of comments we hear
being passed. And hopefully Saturday night will be a very
cloudy night, and they won't sight the moon, so we get one more
chance
to have a day without casting
that is the reaction of many. Yet contrary to that, Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that if my ummats had to come to
know what Allah has kept in Ramadan, then they would wish that
the entire year would be Ramadan.
Ali Radi Allahu Taala used to say, lo Ara, the law and you adriba,
ummat al Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, Maa tawum,
Ramadan wa surat al iqlaus.
He said, If Allah subhanahu wa had desired to punish the Ummat of
Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he would never have given
them. Ramadan in surah.
Allah.
To that extent, the doors of Allah's mercy are open in this
month of Ramadan. On one occasion, Anna has been Malika the Allahu
taala, who narrates, he says, Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam addressed the sahaba. And he said, hada Ramadan, kadaja, the
month of Ramadan has come. It is the onset of Ramadan. Tuftahofihi
Abu Abul Jannah, vatula, pufina, vatu, Hal lufi shayatin. The doors
of Jannat are open for this month. The doors of Jahannam are closed
for this month. It comes in one rewired every night of Ramadan,
Allah frees 1000 souls from Jahannam, such 1000 people for
whom Allah had decided azab and punishment in jahannam. Every
night of Ramadan, 1000 such souls are free from Jahannam on the
night of Thursday, that is the eve of Juma in Ramadan, 1 million
souls are freed from Jahannam in the last night of Ramadan, as many
souls as Allah has freed from the first night of Ramadan. That many
souls on the last night of Ramadan, Allah frees from
jahannam. This is that month every night of Ramadan, Allah descends.
And Allah calls out, is there anyone that has a DUA? Is there
anyone that has any need? Is there anyone that wants to turn to his
Allah? Allah is listening. Allah is ready to answer the Hadees,
which we mentioned in the beginning. Janab, rasulallah,
sallAllahu, alayhi wa sallam, Abu Samit Wadi Allahu taala, who says
Rasulullah sallallahu Islam, said, atta akum shahru, Ramadan, the
month of Ramadan has come. Shaharu Baraka it is the month of Barakat.
It is the month of blessings. Yav Shah kumullahufi, fayanzur, rahma,
Allah, enshroud you with his rahmat and His mercy in this
month. Why to feel khataya Allah wipes away your sins in this
month. Vaystaji, Bukit, dua Allah accepts and answers your duas and
your entreaties in this month, to what extent nuza Ul majal is
wondering why it comes Musa Ali, Salat was salaam addresses, Allah,
Tala Ya Rabbi, Akram, Tani beta, kalum, Bahal, Atay tahadan,
mitlanik, OMA Ya Allah, I am your Kalim. I am the one whom you spoke
to directly. Did you give such a reverence? Did you give such an
honor to anyone else besides me? Allah Dalai dresses him, O Musa,
indali, Ibadan, is the man. There are some slaves of mine who I will
bring about in the last section of time. In other words, they will be
from the last ummat ukimo Hum bishari, Ramadan. I will bless
them, and I will honor them with the month of Ramadan. Faida,
samath, Umma tu Muhammad, sallAllahu, alayhi wa sallam O
Musa, when the Ummat of Muhammad, sallAllahu, alayhi wa sallam will
fast Wabi Yaga, shifa hum was farrad al Wan their lips, their
lips will become parched. Their lips will become dry as a result
of thirst. Their faces will change color as a result of hunger.
Unfortunately, our kartib of fasting nowadays is such that we
have such a hearty sari that it is impossible for us to really
experience hunger. Many places, the fast takes on the shape of an
early breakfast and a late lunch. That is the whole Mizar and the
whole mansha of that fast is lost.
Hasan Basti Rahim Allah, just to digress one rewind he mentions, he
says, One day in Jannat, a Jannati will be leaning against one of the
holes of Jannat. They will be sitting on the banks of a river of
honey. She will be filling water in the goblets. She will be
filling honey in goblets and giving him to drink. And then all
of a sudden, she will address him, and she will say that one day in
the life in the dunya, you were fasting for the sake of Allah. It
was a very, very hot day, it was a very long day, as a result of
which excessive thirst and hunger had overtaken you at that
juncture. At that time, Allah addressed his Malaika faba
habikal, Malaika, Allah boasted about you to his angels. Unguru,
iladi, Taraka, zojatahu, walaza, Tahu, washahuata, Hu wataa, mahu
Washa Raba, who mean ajali, ragbatan, Pima Indi ally does his
angels. And said, look at that slave of my.
Time he left his passions, he left his desires. He left his Halal
wife. He left his food, he left his drink. For my sake.
There was no other motivation. Ragbathan FIMA Hindi. He desired
my Jannat. He desired the reward from me. Ashidoya, malaikati, oh,
my Malaika you become a witness. And me refer to Allahu that I have
forgiven him. And then this whole says that it was because of the
fast of that day Allah made your mafirat and Allah made your
nikahhood. Me, that is just one whole janai Rasulullah sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam said
Inal Janata LA to say yanu minal sanati, ILA Sana nidukholi,
Ramadan,
coming back to that point which I made in the beginning, one is what
preparation we make for Ramadan. Look at the preparation which
Allah makes for Ramadan.
Jannah Sullivan says when one Ramadan finishes from that time to
the next Ramadan, in preparation for Ramadan, Allah orders that
Jannat should be beautified.
Jannat is prepared for the next Ramadan.
And when the night, or the eve of Ramadan comes, a wind blows in
Jannat. The Name of the Wind is mutira,
as a result of which the leaves of the trees of Jannat start shaking.
The doorknobs of Jannat start shaking, and they emit a music,
the like of which no insan or Jinnah has ever heard. Jannat
starts calling out allahummajal, fihada Shari, minaribadi ka
sukana, Allah, Allah from Muhammad, Muhammad, sallAllahu,
Sallam in this month, let my residence be prepared. Waya,
kulna, Hulu la een the hula een of Jannat. The beautiful maidens of
Jannat, they start making dua Allahumma, jaal kihada, Shahar,
Mina, ibadika, azwaja Oh ALLAH in this month of Ramadan, let our
husbands from the Ummah, sallAllahu, alayhi wa sallam, be
prepared. And then Rasulullah, sallAllahu, alayhi wa sallam said,
mansana fisha, Hari Ramadan, falam, yashrab, Fi Muslim, walam
yarmi fihi mo minan bibutan, walam Yamal, fee khatiyatan, zova ja
hula, hulatin, Miyata, haura, wabana Who customan, filjanna,
minza haben wafidin waya was a ver Jed lo Anna, dunya, kulaha, jumiat
fajaril, Laj fihi, Lanta Kun feel like a marvati. Anzi minute dunya
o kamakala SallAllahu, alayhi, wa sallam,
jalavera, sallallah. SallAllahu, sallam said that ummati of mine,
who fasted
the time of of the talk of Juma is very limited, but this is the
point we want to make, my respected brothers, then
Rasulullah sallallahu Islam describes what is a fast
shaitan and Nazis with every one of us
in this month, doors of Jannat are open. Jahannam is closed. Watu
walufi is shayateen. The Shayateen are taken and locked up.
Every opportunity Allah gives us to gain His nearness, to gain his
forgiveness, to gain his love to gain his mercy to such an extent
that rahmatulla means SallAllahu, alayhi wa sallam, that personality
you from head to toe was rahmat and mercy. He also makes badwa.
May Allah has done so much for you. May Allah has done so much
for you by giving you this month. By Allah is so willing to forgive
you. Still, if you turn your back on a line this month, still, if
you don't appreciate Ramadan,
then janai Rasulullah mean he says burden. Liman ad Ramadan, Kalam
yukpalahu. May he be distance, may he be curse who finds Ramadan and
still faints to gain makkarat and forgiveness from Allah, fayed,
Alam yok for FIFA. He says, if in Ramadan you cannot be forgiven,
then when are you going to be forgiven?
Fasting, my respected brothers of the month of Ramadan and the
nights of the month of Ramadan are not just there that externally, we
fast in the day and at night, attend the tarawih Salah in
whatever fashion we are attending it and we carry on as.
Were carrying on before Ramadan, lesra, sriam, Meena, tamiva,
sharab, janavi. Rasulallah said abstention from food and drink is
not fasting. Abstention from food and drink is not fasting in Nava,
Siyam, Mina, love, we were Rafat. He said, fasting is abstention
from the sins of the tongue. Fasting is extension from the sin
of the eyes and the hearts.
Malam yada, hola Zul, Walla, malabihi, pale salila. He Haja
fian yada, mahu wa sharava Hoo. He says, If you will not leave out
speaking lies hurting the feelings of others. Falam yarumi nan
bibotan, you will not stop slandering people. You will not
stop making debit
you will carry on maligning and hurting the feelings of others,
even in Ramadan.
Vain Jabal radi, Allahu Taala and who Allah Raso Sala Salam is
dispatching him to Yemen.
And even while dispatching him, NaVi, salaam says to him, umaz,
when you come back to Madinah, lalakand, Tamura, masjidhi, Haza
wavi, kabari, o Maharaj, when you come back to Madinah, you will not
find me. You will find my masjid and my Kabal.
We cannot imagine the impact this must have had on the heart of that
Sahabi. They love Rasulullah some more than their own lives.
So he says on Abhi of Allah, give me some advice. What advice?
Parting advice. Parting advice.
What does Rasulullah Sam say to him? Alaihi Shiv Dil Nissan o
mahaz, guard your tongue. Guard your tongue. Mahas bin Jabal
is confused. This is parting advice. You will never see
Rasulullah sallallahu Sam again. And what is NaVi salaam saying to
him, guard your tongue.
He feels that this is not such an important advice. Allah rasoo Sala
Islam, seeing the expression on the face of mahas bin Jabal, he
says, O mahas,
do you feel that it is insignificant what I have told
you? Hakilatka um mukaya, WAAS ohal Yakub, bunas
ohal Yakub, bunas Allah, manakhirim, finari, Jahannam, Illa
hasa idu al sinati him, he said, O mahas, there is nothing that will
be more conducive in causing my ummati face down to be thrown into
Jahannam, besides the utterance of his tongue, nothing will be more
conducive in taking my ummat, despite their taqwa, despite their
piety, Despite their fasting, despite their salah, despite their
ibadahs, nothing will be more conducive than causing them face
down to be thrown into Jahannam, besides the accidents of the
tongue, he said that person who will not control his tongue in the
month of Ramadan Allah has no need for him to leave his food and
leave his dream.
Fast is not the fasting of only abstention from food and drink, my
respected brothers, we have to fast spiritually, protection of
the eyes, protection of the ears, protection of the heart and
Hindus. Hadith Rasulullah sallallahu, sir. What is he
saying? He says, If you keep that type of fast, if you keep that
type of fast mansana, protect your nafs, stay in the environment of
the masjid, stay in Allah's obedience. Lamya, Malfi,
khatiyatan, don't break the order of Allah. Don't hurt the feelings
of others. Don't slander anybody. Don't make grievance about
anybody, then what will Allah give you? Zova Ja hula, hola Latin,
near tahora Every night of Ramadan, Allah will make your
Nikah with 100 holes of Jannah, wabana, hokasan Fill Jannah, and
Allah will build you for each pass like that. For each fast like
that, each night, Allah will build you a palace in Jannat made out of
gold, silver, rubies and emeralds, such a valuable palace that if
this whole world and all its wealth had to be placed in that
palace, it would be as insignificant as if you had a farm
in this world and there was one small pen in one corner, one small
shed in one corner, as insignificant as that shed is in
relation to this farm, this entire dunya is so insignificant in
relation to that palace which Allah will give you each.
Night of such a fast
let us not deprive ourselves, my respected brothers, this month is
not an ordinary month. This is a month that has to be valued. This
is a month where we have to exert ourselves. Musa is salaam to
complete that rewind.
Allah says to him, umusa, when Omar the Muhammad, sallAllahu,
sallam, will fast, their lips will become parched and dry. Their
skins will change color because of hunger.
The time of Iftar will come, they will raise up their hands and make
God to me. O Musa, you are speaking to me now between you and
me, there are 70 veils. When Muhammad, sallAllahu, sallam, at
the time of histar, will raise his hand, then there will not be a
single veil between me and them.
This is the month of work, the month of blessings, the month of
mercy, the month when Allah is ready and willing to forgive us.
Let us take lesson from the Sahaba of Rasulullah, sallAllahu, alaihi
wasallam, what Ramadan represented to them, my respected brothers,
unfortunately, we have restricted and confined our understanding of
what Ramadan is. The summat is in a plight. The summat is in problem
in every direction we can see. Our preparation for Ramadan is to fill
our freezes. Our preparation for Ramadan is taken very lightly.
Think of our brothers and our sisters throughout the world who
are in such a situation where Ramadan, instead of being
something to look forward for, in Ramadan, instead of being a month
where they can fast with ease, without fear for their lives,
without fear for their mothers and their sisters, they are living
with the threat of moths. They are living with the threat of hunger
and difficulty and starvation. They are living in peril from
every direction. Ramadan does not constitute respite for them. Their
fast also is turned against them. Such conditions this ummat is
facing in this present day and age, we have to revert back
to the time of Rasulullah, sallAllahu, sallam, what Ramadan
constituted for Sahaba. This is the month my respected brothers of
fasting in the day of Quran at night
hazard Malana says Khan Saab Rahul Ali, one of our elders, he says,
Quran mutaharikshe. He says the Quran is something of Harkat. The
Quran was revealed in Harkat. The Quran was revealed in movement,
some before hijrat, some in hijrat, some after hijrat, some in
Badr, some in Ohad, some in Fatima, some in taboo, some in
khandak, as Sahaba, exerted themselves as Sahaba and
rasulallah, sallAllahu Sallam underwent difficulty and hardship
in propagating the message of Allah. They were faced with
circumstances, and on those circumstances, Quran was revealed,
he says, We want to sit in one place.
We want to restrict the Quran, and we want to fulfill the right of
the Quran. The Quran was revealed in Harkat. The Quran will come
alive through Harkat.
We have taken this month as a month let us stay at home. Let it
be a month for us to make our ibadahs. Let it be a month for us
to increase our tilas of Quran. No doubt, definitely, it has to be a
month of ibadah. It has to be a month of increasing our Tirath of
Quran. But take lesson from the plight that he is facing this
ummat. The circumstances have turned against this ummat, because
this ummat was an ummat of Harkat. The summat was ummat of movement.
Allah wahi, narahali, Islami, daylah, fador, uma al Kitab. Islam
is on the move. Islam is on the move. Take the Quran of Allah and
move.
What better month than the month of the Quran, than the month of
Ramadan, to take the kitam of Allah and to take the deen of
Allah and move in the path of Allah,
Badar, 313, on one side. Prettyable situation. 70 camels,
two horses.
One way they come. They had five swords shared between them. If
someone had a short sword, the other one had a shield, someone
had one shoe, that one had another shoe, 313, facing the might of an
army, 1000 strong.
Own.
It was a suicide mission.
They had went out to attack the caravan of Abu sufya, and they
were not expecting to face the might of the Quraysh. Yet, what
was the preparation that Janabi Rasulullah Islam did? He didn't
send back for reinforcements. He just asked them one question, oh
my Sahaba, are you ready to hand yourself over to Allah and His
Rasul Salaam?
Are you ready to hand yourself over to Allah and His Rasul
Salaam? Abubakar stands up and says, we are ready. Oman stands up
and says, we are ready. Still, he repeats the question why he is
referring to Ansari Madina. They had taken the oath in Aqaba that
they will serve Nabi ABA, Sala Ali, salam, and they will serve
Islam in Medina. Badr is 170 kilometers away from Medina.
Sadhguru, mahazadi, Allahu Anhu stands up and says, ya rasulallah,
salaam, are you referring to us? Ansar? He says, Yes, I'm referring
to you, Ansar, are you ready to hand yourself over to Allah and
his rasala isallam. He says, Iran. Lana kolulaka, kam kala ko Musa
Ali, Musa idhab, antawarab, buchara, innaha, Huna, kaidun,
wala kin Isha, Natal, and naqib al bihad, Naha wala barkil hemadi
upon Allah From Tia rasulallah, he said, on the way of Allah. We will
not say like the Bani Israel. Said to Musa alaihi salam, the deen of
Allah is dying. You and Europe, go. We are going to sit here. We
will not do like the Jews. We will not do like the Bani Israel. We
will say to you, you and Europe, go. We are with you. We are on
your right, we are on your left. We are in front of you. We are
behind you. Why? Because we brought Iman on you. We brought
Iman on you. We accepted that you are the true Nabi of Allah, and
because of that, our wealth is not ours anymore. This life is not
ours anymore. It has to be given to Allah and his rashallah and the
propagation of this Deen on NaVi of Allah, if you order us one by
one to jump off the mountain and die, we are prepared without
question. If you order us one by one to jump into the river and the
sea and drown, we are ready to do so without question. If you order
us one by one to mount our camels and ride to varkhimas in Yemen, we
are ready to do so on the way of Allah, You go ahead. Join ties
with whom you want to join ties. Make war with whom you want to
make war. Make peace with whom you want to make peace. Take from our
wealth and what our our lives, whatever you want. Walla, what you
will use of our lives and our wealth is more beloved to us than
what you will leave behind.
Then, when this Muhammad was ready, that was the tayari, that
was the preparation, not numbers, not weapons, we have handed
ourselves over to Allah and His Rasul Salaam. When he heard this,
then the sulasama smiled, and sarva went ahead, and Allah
referred to that day as yomul. On 313
illiquid people Allah made the decision that Islam will spread
through the four corners of the world. My respected brothers, that
day was in this month of Ramadan. It was the 17th of Ramadan that
Allah made the decision in the heavens that Islam will spread six
years later, Fatima Allah Sallam walked into Makkah, that city from
which he had been expelled. Allah, Allah, Allah brought his Nabi
about salal Islam back to Makkah, victorious, and then Makkah and
Madina became the base by which Islam spread to the four corners
of the world. Fatima also took place in Ramadan. This was not a
month when the Kumbh sat back. I will terminate on one rewire my
respected brothers, Usmani Ravi Allahu Taala and who he stands on,
the member of masjid and Abu
appreciate the veracity of this. This is Madina. This is madinawa.
These are Sahaba. And he is addressing them, and he is saying
that, Oh, my brothers of Madina, do not let your brothers of Sham
and do not let your brothers of Iraq and do not let your brothers
of Egypt do.
Go ahead from you do not feel that you are in Madina, so that you do
not have to strive in the path of Allah while they are striving. Oh,
my brothers. Asmaaan is adjusting them. He says
that one day, one day you will spend striving in the path of
Allah is better than 1000 days Walla. It is better than 1000 days
that you will spend fasting in Madina and crying every night for
1000 nights in Salah in Madina. Better than that is one day that
you will spend striving in the path of Allah take the lesson that
Sahaba took this month of mercy. Make it a Zaria of mercy for the
whole humanity. Make it a Zaria of mercy for America, for Australia,
for Europe, for Asia, for Africa. Go out in the path of Allah like
Sahaba stove in Ramadan. Brother was in Ramadan. For temaka was in
Ramadan. Sahaba did not make this a month to sit in the masjid. Only
they went and brought Islam alive in the four corners of the world,
and their grave scattered throughout the entire world, is a
living testimony of this Swami, Allah Tala. Give each and every
one of us, the tawfiq, to appreciate this month, to fast
externally and internally, and to use this month to strive in the
path of Allah after.
