			Alhamdulillah, Alhamdulillah,
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:19
			wanna Shalom Allah,
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:26
			Quran
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:32
			in
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:06
			Oh, if um in a shape on it, Abu
asmaadi o call an Abu
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:08
			SallAllahu,
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:13
			alaihi wasallam,
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:19
			Man Samara, Mahana Imana was
disavow Makala SallAllahu,
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:23
			alaihi wasallam. Sallam,
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:26
			respected ulama iqram,
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:28
			elders and
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:32
			beloved brothers in Islam.
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:37
			Each and every one of us is aware
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:41
			that very soon,
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:44
			the guest of Allah, subhanho wa
taala,
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:47
			this great opportunity
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:51
			of mercy and forgiveness from
Allah
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:55
			in the form of the blessed month
of Ramadan,
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:57
			will be departing us
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:00
			that month,
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:06
			rasulallahu, alayhi wa sallam,
Anna saladi, Allahu taala, who
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:07
			says
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:13
			that he said that Ramadan atakumu,
Ramadan, Ramadan has come to you.
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:22
			Tuftala, Kofi Abu NAB wa Tubal,
lufi Shapin, Liman adraka, Ramadan
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:25
			falam, than you. Allahu ID
alaykum, atah o Kuma,
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:27
			Kala, Salama, alaihi, salam,
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:32
			the month wherein he said, Allah
throws open the doors of Jannat
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:35
			and Allah locks up the doors of
Jahannam,
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:38
			and the shayateen also locked up.
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:44
			And so conducive is this month
towards acquiring the mercy and
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:46
			forgiveness of Allah.
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:50
			That despite being Rahmatullah
Alameen, a mercy for humanity,
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:54
			Janab rasulallah said, May that
person be distanced from the Mercy
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:58
			of Allah who finds the month of
Ramadan and still fails to gain
		
00:02:58 --> 00:02:59
			the forgiveness of Allah
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:04
			in these dying moments of this
month,
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:07
			what is essential, my respected
brothers,
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:14
			is that we cannot allow a sense of
complacency to overtake us.
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:17
			In mashallah, we exerted ourselves
greatly.
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:23
			Little bit more ibad Will do, and
then the Hilal of Eid will be
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:26
			cited, and then we can go back to
the type of life that we're
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:26
			leaving before.
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:31
			But the real concern now should be
my respected brothers
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:36
			that we don't know whether Allah
has accepted our Amal or not.
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:43
			Ali radi, Allahu Taala used to
say, kunu ni Kobol IL, Amal Ashad
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:49
			the ihtimam. Minkumbal, Amal Alam
tasma, abulahi taala in namahita,
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:50
			Kabal allahumen al muttaqin, he
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:53
			used to say,
		
00:03:54 --> 00:04:00
			have more ihtimam, more concern
and more worry for the acceptance
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:02
			of your Amal even more than the
Amal itself.
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:09
			Did you not hear that Allah says
in his Quran, in namayata, Kabul,
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:11
			allahumen al muttaqin,
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:16
			that Allah will only accept from
those with taqwa,
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:21
			Allah will only accept from those
with piety. Allah will only accept
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:25
			from those who have tall look and
link in connection with Allah.
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:35
			Malat Obey Rahim Allah
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:42
			used to say, muttaqin.
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:46
			He says, if it were told to me
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:50
			that just one of your Amal has
been accepted,
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:56
			even though it may be smaller than
the grain of mustard seed, it's
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:59
			just that much assurance I got.
This is more of.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:02
			Lover to me than the whole world
and whatever it contains,
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:07
			because Allah Dalai said that the
precondition and prerequisite for
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:13
			the acceptance of Amal in namaya,
takaabin, Allah accepts from those
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:13
			with taqwa,
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:21
			Salafi, salaheen, it is mentioned
Kanu yada Oh. Allah has sit at the
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:25
			Ashur Anya Valley. Ram Shahar,
Ramadan, summa, Yadav, Allah has
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:27
			sit at the Ashur Anya. Tata Bala,
hum in hum,
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:32
			they would make dua to Allah dala
for six months of the year. Six
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:37
			months before Ramadan, they would
make dua to Allah dala that Allah
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:42
			must keep them alive to experience
the beauty of Ramadan, and then
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:46
			for the next six months, they
would make dua to Allah that Allah
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:48
			must accept from them, the ivankat
in Ramadan.
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:56
			So this is not a time or a period
where respected brothers, where we
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:57
			can afford to become complacent.
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:03
			We have to be taking stock of
ourselves. Allah. Allah says, kuti
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:08
			Bali, Kumu, Siyam, Kaala, lahina,
Min kabli, Kum laala, kutakun,
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:14
			this fasting and this month of
Ramadan was given to you for what
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:17
			lalakum, tat tapun, so that you
develop tapwa,
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:21
			so that you develop a link in a
connection with Allah.
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:25
			So each one of us has to be taking
stock.
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:31
			Ulama explained beautifully. They
say Ramadan is a training for us.
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:37
			They say, if you look
symbolically, a person fast in
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:38
			Ramadan,
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:45
			and then on the day after Ramadan
is the day of Eid, it's a day of
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:51
			happiness, a day of rejoicing.
They say this same scenario
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:57
			represents the life of a moment in
this world. A dunya, kuloha,
		
00:06:57 --> 00:07:02
			shaharu, Siya mill, muttaqin, wai
du fi him yo Malita, Rabbi, him.
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:08
			They say that the life of a person
in this world represents the month
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:14
			of Ramadan. Like in Ramadan, you
stayed away from haram and you
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:19
			stayed away from the disobedience
of Allah. In the same way,
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:23
			acquired training in Ramadan, so
that your whole year, your whole
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:28
			life in this world, is spent with
the consciousness of Ramadan. And
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:32
			when can you relax? When is your
enjoyment? When is the Iftar of
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:37
			your fast when is your eID? Eid is
the day when you will meet Allah
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:41
			Abu Asmaa. Allah was asked,
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:46
			how will the meeting with Allah be
for those who had pleased Allah?
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:48
			He says,
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:52
			the meeting with Allah for those
who are pleased Allah will be like
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:56
			a person who has been separated
from his family for a very long
		
00:07:56 --> 00:08:01
			time, and after a long period of
separation, the manner, the love,
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:04
			the affection with which that
reunion takes place, is how the
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:07
			meeting with Allah will be for
that person who had pleased Allah
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:14
			in this world, like the poet says,
For yo makal ADINA, fasum Yo makal
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:19
			Adina La La Kafi had in Tahu,
zubione, now Susumu
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:29
			wakadu, alati Dahari Ko to Allah
kuliha wakadumadha vayomzami,
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:32
			he says, I fasted
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:38
			my entire life. What fast I fasted
away from my lazaat, from my
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:43
			desires, away from the
disobedience of Allah and the day
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:44
			when I need my Allah,
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:48
			the day when I meet my Allah, is
the day when I will make it start
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:53
			from my Rosa, the Rosa of
abstention from the disobedience
		
00:08:53 --> 00:08:57
			of Allah, subhanho wa taala. He
says Fast, fast for this short
		
00:08:57 --> 00:08:58
			day,
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:02
			referring to the life of this
world, because this world, when
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:06
			compared to akhirat, is totally
insignificant. He said, fast was a
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:07
			short day.
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:12
			And tomorrow, on the Day of
Judgment, when others will be in
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:15
			fear, when others will be swimming
in their perspiration, that is the
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:19
			day you will be making many that
is day. That is the day of your
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:22
			Istar, that is the day of your
eID, the day when you will meet
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:28
			Allah on one occasion, Sahaba,
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:31
			halam, Batum,
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:38
			Mau, walumaya, pool, Allahu. Lil
mumini, wah, wah, meaning Allahu.
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:40
			He said, Oh my Sahaba,
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:42
			should I not tell you
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:48
			what is the first thing Allah will
say to the mumini on the Day of
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:48
			Judgment?
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:53
			What is the first thing that Allah
will say to those who had pleased
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:53
			him,
		
00:09:54 --> 00:09:56
			and what will be their response?
		
00:09:57 --> 00:09:59
			YALI, mumini, na Yom Ki.
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:02
			Allah will adjust the
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:09
			believers in the day of judgment,
and Allah will say to them, did
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:13
			you love to meet me? Did you
aspire to come back to your law?
		
00:10:14 --> 00:10:16
			Were you waiting for this meeting
with your Allah?
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:28
			Raj Islam, said, Man Aha balaka,
Allah, Asmaa, Allah, Abu Asmaa,
		
00:10:29 --> 00:10:32
			that person who loves to meet
Allah, Allah loves to meet him
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:33
			also.
		
00:10:34 --> 00:10:37
			And that person who dislikes
meeting Allah, Allah dislikes
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:38
			meeting him also.
		
00:10:40 --> 00:10:42
			When will we like to meet Allah?
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:45
			When will that day be a day of
Eid?
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:48
			When will the day be a day of
star?
		
00:10:50 --> 00:10:54
			When the light in this world is
brought on the SIFAT of Ramadan,
		
00:10:56 --> 00:11:02
			bishar Rahim, Allah, it was told
to him in the common yet abunafi
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:03
			Ramadan,
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:08
			a group of people who are
mentioned to him, who exert
		
00:11:08 --> 00:11:09
			themselves,
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:14
			engage themselves in Ibadan, in
the month of Ramadan, only
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:23
			his response to this was based
Allah hakani, Lafi Ramadan in the
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:26
			way he said,
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:29
			How ungrateful
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:32
			and how terrible are the people?
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:36
			How disgraceful are a people
		
00:11:38 --> 00:11:40
			who take advantage of the Mercy of
Allah,
		
00:11:41 --> 00:11:43
			who take advantage of the clemency
of Allah
		
00:11:44 --> 00:11:47
			by worshiping Allah only in
Ramadan,
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:50
			and by exerting themselves only in
Ramadan,
		
00:11:52 --> 00:11:55
			and by putting that cover or that
cloth over the shaitan box
		
00:11:57 --> 00:12:02
			and those instruments of Vice only
in Ramadan, and by coming to the
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:05
			masjid for Salah with Jamaat
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:10
			and getting up in the dead of
night and crying before Allah
		
00:12:10 --> 00:12:12
			subhanho wa Taala only in Ramadan,
		
00:12:14 --> 00:12:16
			and once the ilalabi decided,
		
00:12:18 --> 00:12:21
			then They returned back to what
they were doing before
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:25
			he said, how terrible such a
people are.
		
00:12:27 --> 00:12:31
			The true one of piety is that
person who will strive and exert
		
00:12:31 --> 00:12:33
			himself in Ibadan throughout the
entire year.
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:40
			For him, the day of meeting Allah
subhanho wa taala, will be a day
		
00:12:40 --> 00:12:45
			of happiness and joy. When NaVi
salaam mentioned this to Sahaba
		
00:12:45 --> 00:12:48
			that the one who loves to meet
Allah, Allah loves to meet him,
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:53
			Sahaba said Alisa rasulallah on
the
		
00:12:55 --> 00:12:55
			way of Allah,
		
00:12:56 --> 00:13:00
			everyone of us naturally dislikes
death.
		
00:13:01 --> 00:13:03
			Everyone of us naturally is afraid
of death.
		
00:13:05 --> 00:13:08
			So does this mean that we do not
want to meet our Allah, that
		
00:13:10 --> 00:13:11
			we do not love to meet our Allah?
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:14
			Amir 1000 said, no.
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:20
			What I mean is a person who had
pleased Allah in this world, when
		
00:13:20 --> 00:13:22
			the time comes for him to leave
this world,
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:25
			the Malaika of Allah will come
down.
		
00:13:26 --> 00:13:29
			You wonder why this comes. 500
Malaika will come with bouquets of
		
00:13:29 --> 00:13:33
			flowers to make a step ball of
this person. And then they will
		
00:13:33 --> 00:13:36
			start giving him Basharat and
gayatris. Allah has kept this for
		
00:13:36 --> 00:13:37
			you, and Allah
		
00:13:39 --> 00:13:43
			has kept that for you. Hamidah
cannot feel just say,
		
00:13:44 --> 00:13:52
			oh, praiseworthy enough you are in
a
		
00:13:54 --> 00:14:00
			praiseworthy body. Come out now.
Come out now, and be happy
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:05
			in front of you the gardens of
Jannat light. In front of you the
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:10
			streams and the rivers of Jannat
light. And more than this, you're
		
00:14:10 --> 00:14:14
			Rav Allah, who is happy with you,
and he's not angry with you. He's
		
00:14:14 --> 00:14:15
			waiting to meet you.
		
00:14:16 --> 00:14:21
			When this moment, hears this glad
tidings, then he will aspire to
		
00:14:21 --> 00:14:25
			meet Allah. The vistas says, Allah
will aspire to meet him also.
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:29
			On the other hand, Allah save us
		
00:14:31 --> 00:14:35
			that person who had displeased
Allah at the time when he has to
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:38
			leave this world, the Malay of
Allah will come down
		
00:14:39 --> 00:14:41
			on one occasion, Ibrahim, Khalil,
alaihi
		
00:14:42 --> 00:14:43
			salam,
		
00:14:45 --> 00:14:47
			he met Morocco moths, the angel of
death.
		
00:14:50 --> 00:14:51
			He told him
		
00:14:53 --> 00:14:59
			that show me in what form you come
to take the nafs to take the soul
		
00:14:59 --> 00:14:59
			of.
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:01
			That person who had displeased
Allah
		
00:15:04 --> 00:15:05
			malakumo told him
		
00:15:06 --> 00:15:07
			that O Ibrahim
		
00:15:08 --> 00:15:11
			alaihi salam, you will not be able
to bear this.
		
00:15:12 --> 00:15:14
			Ibrahim alaihi salam, insisted.
		
00:15:15 --> 00:15:16
			So. He told him, turn around.
		
00:15:17 --> 00:15:18
			When he turned around.
		
00:15:19 --> 00:15:25
			Then he said, Now look, if I will
look back for Surah to insan in
		
00:15:25 --> 00:15:32
			Aswad, rigilavara, Sufi sama ka
Abu bahima, Antara, iminas, Suat
		
00:15:32 --> 00:15:35
			tak dakun Li sharimin, just adihi
lahi bunaa,
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:40
			if Rahi walai Salam fell down
unconscious because in front of
		
00:15:40 --> 00:15:41
			him
		
00:15:42 --> 00:15:45
			was a person in completely black,
		
00:15:46 --> 00:15:53
			his feet on the ground, his head
in the sky, the most terrible and
		
00:15:53 --> 00:15:58
			fearsome sight you could possibly
see underneath each strand of hair
		
00:15:58 --> 00:16:03
			of his body. Fire was fire was
burning, and smoke was being
		
00:16:03 --> 00:16:08
			emitted from this entire
structure, or this entire being in
		
00:16:08 --> 00:16:13
			front of him. When I Salam
recovered, he said, if Allah had
		
00:16:13 --> 00:16:18
			prepared no other azab for the for
the disbelievers, and if Allah had
		
00:16:18 --> 00:16:20
			prepared no other azab for those
who were disobedient to him.
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:24
			Besides the sight of you coming
towards them, this would have been
		
00:16:24 --> 00:16:24
			sufficient.
		
00:16:26 --> 00:16:31
			They would say to this person,
cannot feel just a little Khabib,
		
00:16:32 --> 00:16:37
			Okuru Ji wa abshiri, the hamim
you. Wagasa, wakaran in shatihi,
		
00:16:37 --> 00:16:37
			Aswad
		
00:16:38 --> 00:16:43
			o faulty ROH you in a faulty body,
come out now and know that in
		
00:16:43 --> 00:16:47
			front of you lies the boiling
water of Jahannam, lies the blood
		
00:16:47 --> 00:16:51
			and pus of Jahannam, and lies
various other types of azab. This
		
00:16:51 --> 00:16:55
			person, when he hears this, will
dislike meeting Allah. Allah will
		
00:16:55 --> 00:16:59
			dislike meeting him also. To
complete the divide we were
		
00:16:59 --> 00:17:00
			mentioning earlier,
		
00:17:01 --> 00:17:04
			Allah Allah will say to the
believers, did you look forward to
		
00:17:04 --> 00:17:08
			meeting me? They will say, Yes,
oh, Allah. Then Allah, Allah will
		
00:17:08 --> 00:17:12
			say to them, Lima, why is it you
are looking forward to meeting me?
		
00:17:12 --> 00:17:18
			They will say, Allah, rajona
Asmaa, we hope for your
		
00:17:18 --> 00:17:26
			forgiveness and we hope for your
mercy, Allah will say, my and my
		
00:17:26 --> 00:17:29
			forgiveness and My Mercy has
become waji. For you,
		
00:17:30 --> 00:17:36
			let us live a life in this world
so that our meeting with Allah can
		
00:17:36 --> 00:17:39
			take place in this manner where
Allah is happy to meet us and we
		
00:17:39 --> 00:17:41
			are happy to meet Allah subhanho
wa taala,
		
00:17:42 --> 00:17:47
			the concern my respected brothers
should be whether our Ibadah and
		
00:17:47 --> 00:17:50
			whatever what level we have done
has been accepted by Allah
		
00:17:50 --> 00:17:54
			subhanho wa taala. The point we
want to make my respected Brothers
		
00:17:54 --> 00:17:59
			is, what are the signs of
acceptance? How can we gage
		
00:17:59 --> 00:18:03
			whether our Ramadan has been
accepted. Ramadan.
		
00:18:04 --> 00:18:11
			Manslava. Ramadan, why were you
had this nap, Sahu and Nahu,
		
00:18:11 --> 00:18:13
			either after Ramadan, Lamya
Sillah,
		
00:18:15 --> 00:18:27
			woman Sava. Ramadan, what were you
had this NAFTA, who fasted in the
		
00:18:28 --> 00:18:31
			mandar Ramadan,
		
00:18:33 --> 00:18:34
			and he changed his life.
		
00:18:35 --> 00:18:42
			He turned back to Allah. He
developed a loving Allah, and who
		
00:18:42 --> 00:18:42
			SallAllahu,
		
00:18:43 --> 00:18:47
			sallam, on one occasion of Islam
as Sahaba.
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:52
			Oh, my
		
00:18:53 --> 00:18:56
			Sahaba. Do you know who is one who
has made over?
		
00:18:58 --> 00:19:00
			Unfortunately, we have
		
00:19:01 --> 00:19:05
			a completely misguided concept of
what is Tovah. To many of us,
		
00:19:05 --> 00:19:09
			Allah, protect us. Tovah is some
big night,
		
00:19:11 --> 00:19:15
			oh man of Ramadan, or some
occasion when we come into the
		
00:19:15 --> 00:19:19
			masjid, ask Allah for forgiveness.
But in the heart is the
		
00:19:19 --> 00:19:24
			determination that once I leave,
or once the IRA decided, or once
		
00:19:24 --> 00:19:27
			the spirit has passed, then my
life will be exactly as it was
		
00:19:27 --> 00:19:33
			before this type of Toba, Hassan
vahim, Allah used to say that we
		
00:19:33 --> 00:19:38
			have to make a step far to Allah
over our stepfa, we have to ask
		
00:19:38 --> 00:19:41
			Allah to forgive us for the manner
in which we ask Him to forgive us,
		
00:19:44 --> 00:19:48
			our merciful Allah, our kind
Allah, through open the doors of
		
00:19:48 --> 00:19:54
			mercy in the suburb of months, let
not our analogy. Let not our
		
00:19:54 --> 00:19:57
			example be in the kitazana I have
written
		
00:19:59 --> 00:19:59
			the.
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:01
			That certain type of worm
		
00:20:02 --> 00:20:08
			I forget the name, it spends its
entire life in feces and in filth.
		
00:20:10 --> 00:20:14
			One day, this worm, for some
inexplicable reason,
		
00:20:15 --> 00:20:17
			ventured out of the feces and the
stools,
		
00:20:19 --> 00:20:24
			and for the first time in his life
It felt the sweetness of fresh
		
00:20:24 --> 00:20:25
			air.
		
00:20:26 --> 00:20:30
			For the first time in his life, it
saw the blue yonder. For the first
		
00:20:30 --> 00:20:33
			time in its life, it felt the
coolness of the fresh breeze.
		
00:20:34 --> 00:20:37
			And after we experienced this
sweetness
		
00:20:38 --> 00:20:43
			for some inexplicable reason,
because it was inherent in the
		
00:20:43 --> 00:20:44
			nature of this worm.
		
00:20:45 --> 00:20:49
			It turns around and it goes back
into the feces.
		
00:20:50 --> 00:20:52
			Let that not be our example,
		
00:20:53 --> 00:20:57
			that in Ramadan we felt the
sweetness of crying the dead of
		
00:20:57 --> 00:21:02
			night. In Ramadan we felt the
sweetness of learning our gaze. We
		
00:21:02 --> 00:21:06
			felt the sweetness of staying away
from music in Haram. We felt that
		
00:21:06 --> 00:21:10
			special connection in Taluka,
Allah subhanho wa Taala that comes
		
00:21:10 --> 00:21:15
			in the obedience of Allah subhanho
wa taala. And then once the IRA
		
00:21:15 --> 00:21:16
			decided,
		
00:21:17 --> 00:21:21
			then we forget all this, and we go
back towards masiya, and we go
		
00:21:21 --> 00:21:24
			back towards the disobedience of
Allah, Tala, kavradi, Allahu
		
00:21:24 --> 00:21:27
			taala, who said, that person who
fast in Ramadan and has made his
		
00:21:27 --> 00:21:29
			mind up that my life is changed.
		
00:21:30 --> 00:21:35
			He has made his mind up. He says
this person will enter Jannat
		
00:21:35 --> 00:21:40
			without any isaba reckoning. And
that person who fast in the month
		
00:21:40 --> 00:21:43
			of Ramadan, why you had this NAFSA
who
		
00:21:45 --> 00:21:46
			and he tells himself,
		
00:21:47 --> 00:21:52
			never mind, stay away from my bad
habits. Each one of us knows what
		
00:21:52 --> 00:21:55
			those bad habits are. There's no
reason to mention them and no need
		
00:21:55 --> 00:21:58
			to mention them. We know what our
weaknesses are.
		
00:21:59 --> 00:22:03
			If we are telling ourselves in our
hearts that for this month, I will
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:08
			stay away from them. And one thing
hilabi decided going to go back. I
		
00:22:09 --> 00:22:16
			am going to carry one as was
before. He says, this is a sign
		
00:22:16 --> 00:22:19
			that Allah has not accepted your
fasting of the month of Ramadan.
		
00:22:19 --> 00:22:20
			May Allah
		
00:22:22 --> 00:22:31
			protect us. Abu, Nadra, Rahim,
Allah used to say, Arban,
		
00:22:32 --> 00:22:35
			he said four things, four
opportunities. Allah gives a
		
00:22:35 --> 00:22:35
			believer
		
00:22:36 --> 00:22:40
			if he experiences them, if he is
blessed by Allah. Allah with them,
		
00:22:41 --> 00:22:46
			and a change does not come in his
life, then this is a sign. This is
		
00:22:46 --> 00:22:50
			a sign that Allah has not accepted
it from him. The first thing he
		
00:22:50 --> 00:23:00
			mentioned Mansa Ramadan. Mansa
Ramadan, walam, yel Praza min,
		
00:23:00 --> 00:23:04
			that person who fasted in the
month of Ramadan and his life did
		
00:23:04 --> 00:23:09
			not change. Good does not increase
in his life. Ramadan came and went
		
00:23:10 --> 00:23:13
			and didn't bring some sort of a
change in his life. He said, This
		
00:23:13 --> 00:23:17
			is a sign that Allah has not
accepted his fasting of Ramadan.
		
00:23:18 --> 00:23:22
			We have to make Tova. This is the
month of Tovah. But Allah doesn't
		
00:23:22 --> 00:23:28
			just want any Tovah. Tova to the
Abu Bakr Al wahis to say, and
		
00:23:28 --> 00:23:37
			today, Ali Kal Alvi mAh, Abu
Asmaa, satil, what is Tova? Sun na
		
00:23:37 --> 00:23:41
			Suha, that inside your heart cries
out. I broke the command of my
		
00:23:41 --> 00:23:46
			Allah. I displease my Allah. If my
Allah is angry with me and I die
		
00:23:46 --> 00:23:49
			in this condition, what is going
to happen to me? He says, The
		
00:23:49 --> 00:23:53
			earth should become straightened
for you, despite its vastness, and
		
00:23:53 --> 00:23:56
			your heart should be full with
grief, like those three Sahaba who
		
00:23:56 --> 00:23:59
			did not take part in kabuk, the
manner when they were boycotted
		
00:23:59 --> 00:24:03
			for 50 days. There's no time to go
into the details, what kth and
		
00:24:03 --> 00:24:07
			what concern passed over them? He
said that should be your KPIs to
		
00:24:07 --> 00:24:11
			complete the divide of Abdullah
bin Masood Adi Allahu, talah sama
		
00:24:11 --> 00:24:14
			Sabah. Do you know who is a
		
00:24:16 --> 00:24:21
			person? Allah is a no vest. Then
Nabi Abu Asmaa said, that person,
		
00:24:22 --> 00:24:36
			the curse of the hadith is that he
		
00:24:37 --> 00:24:42
			made Tova, but his dressing didn't
change his akhlaq didn't change
		
00:24:42 --> 00:24:46
			his character. Didn't change his
company, did not change. His way
		
00:24:46 --> 00:24:49
			of life, did not change. Then
Muhammad Sallallahu, Islam says
		
00:24:49 --> 00:24:51
			this person has not made Toba.
		
00:24:52 --> 00:24:58
			Toba is a regret over the past and
Ahad and promised with Allah that
		
00:24:58 --> 00:24:59
			we will not return back to that.
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:04
			Us to open the books of history
and see the lives of those people
		
00:25:04 --> 00:25:08
			who truly made Sova. Time is very
limited just one incident from the
		
00:25:08 --> 00:25:11
			time of Umar, the Allahu Talan, we
will mention and on that we will
		
00:25:11 --> 00:25:15
			terminate at the time of Umar, the
Allahu taala. And who there was,
		
00:25:15 --> 00:25:19
			one youngster who used to worship
Allah excessively. He
		
00:25:21 --> 00:25:26
			was always in Ibadan, always in
obedience of Allah. Because of
		
00:25:26 --> 00:25:29
			this, Omar developed a liking for
this youngster. He was a very
		
00:25:29 --> 00:25:32
			handsome youngster. He would leave
the masjid late at night to go
		
00:25:32 --> 00:25:36
			home to make kidmat of his elderly
father on the way. There was one
		
00:25:36 --> 00:25:41
			woman, very, very beautiful. She
became attracted to this
		
00:25:41 --> 00:25:46
			youngster, so she made her mind
up. She made her mind up to entice
		
00:25:46 --> 00:25:50
			him towards haram. Each day, she
would beautify herself, and she
		
00:25:50 --> 00:25:53
			would try and create all sorts of
excuses to draw the attention of
		
00:25:53 --> 00:25:56
			this youngster. One day, it was
such that he fell into her trap
		
00:25:57 --> 00:26:01
			and he ventured into her house.
And as he ventured into our house,
		
00:26:02 --> 00:26:07
			the verse of the Quran came in
front of him in the ladina taco is
		
00:26:07 --> 00:26:16
			the people of taqwa, those moments
of weakness we will have the touch
		
00:26:16 --> 00:26:19
			of shaitan will be called us, but
Allah. Allah says, What is the
		
00:26:19 --> 00:26:23
			sign of when the moment of
weakness has occurred and you
		
00:26:23 --> 00:26:26
			realize, immediately you retract,
immediately you change,
		
00:26:26 --> 00:26:28
			immediately you move away from the
Quran.
		
00:26:29 --> 00:26:32
			And this verse of the Quran came
in front of him. This young step
		
00:26:32 --> 00:26:33
			fell down unconscious.
		
00:26:35 --> 00:26:38
			This woman with her servant
carried him, left him at the door
		
00:26:38 --> 00:26:39
			of his elderly father and
		
00:26:41 --> 00:26:44
			went to doctor the door and went
away. The father opened the door
		
00:26:44 --> 00:26:48
			and saw his son lying unconscious.
It took a few hours to revive that
		
00:26:48 --> 00:26:52
			youngster. When he woke up, his
father said, what happened? So? He
		
00:26:52 --> 00:26:55
			said, Oh, my father, good happened
to me? He said, Oh, my son, tell
		
00:26:55 --> 00:26:58
			me what happened. He was
embarrassed. His father insisted.
		
00:26:58 --> 00:27:03
			The son related the incident, and
then, the father asked him what
		
00:27:03 --> 00:27:08
			verse of the Quran calls you to
retract. He said, in La Nina
		
00:27:08 --> 00:27:09
			shaitan is
		
00:27:10 --> 00:27:14
			saying this. The youngster
breathed at his last and passed
		
00:27:14 --> 00:27:14
			away. The
		
00:27:17 --> 00:27:21
			coffin was prepared and the
youngster was buried that night.
		
00:27:22 --> 00:27:25
			The next morning, the message came
to Omar the Allahu Taala and who
		
00:27:26 --> 00:27:29
			he hastily went to the home of the
youngster, and he said to the
		
00:27:29 --> 00:27:31
			Father, why didn't you tell me
last night?
		
00:27:32 --> 00:27:34
			Why didn't you tell me about his
Janaza also?
		
00:27:35 --> 00:27:39
			So the father said. Aminul mumini,
it was late at night. They would
		
00:27:39 --> 00:27:40
			not delay in burning the deceased,
		
00:27:42 --> 00:27:46
			nevertheless, Oman says, take me
to his grave. Omar of the Allahu
		
00:27:46 --> 00:27:49
			Taala goes and stands in front of
the grave of this youngster. And
		
00:27:49 --> 00:27:55
			he addresses him, Yashar waliman,
far from a farmer of the heat and
		
00:27:55 --> 00:27:59
			Natan. That person, that person
who in the invitation of the
		
00:27:59 --> 00:28:03
			disobedience of Allah comes in
front of him. Remembers that day
		
00:28:04 --> 00:28:07
			when he will have to stand in
front of Allah and give account
		
00:28:07 --> 00:28:11
			for his life. That person who
fears standing in front of Allah,
		
00:28:11 --> 00:28:16
			Allah will give him two jannats.
He recites this verse of the Quran
		
00:28:16 --> 00:28:20
			from the grave. The youngster
replies, omir al muminin. Allah
		
00:28:20 --> 00:28:25
			has given me both jannats. Allah
has given me both jannats, this
		
00:28:25 --> 00:28:30
			month of mercy, this month of
forgiveness, Allah has given us my
		
00:28:30 --> 00:28:34
			respected brothers, let it not be
a platform for us to return back
		
00:28:34 --> 00:28:38
			to what we were doing before, but
make this firm abud. That is the
		
00:28:38 --> 00:28:42
			reason my respected brothers,
until our company does not change,
		
00:28:42 --> 00:28:47
			until those we spend our time with
does not change, until our
		
00:28:47 --> 00:28:50
			dressing does not change, until
our lives do not change, until we
		
00:28:50 --> 00:28:54
			don't make a conscious effort to
introduce in our lives those
		
00:28:54 --> 00:28:57
			things which are going to be
conducive towards the mercy and
		
00:28:57 --> 00:29:01
			the forgiveness of Allah and those
Amal which are going to take us
		
00:29:01 --> 00:29:05
			closer to Allah Tala, then very
respected brothers to have ista
		
00:29:05 --> 00:29:08
			Kamat is going to be very
difficult. That is why, let us
		
00:29:08 --> 00:29:11
			try, Inshallah, to the Barkat of
Ramadan to introduce the Hanka of
		
00:29:11 --> 00:29:16
			Kalim daily in our homes, so that
everyday kala Kalam, uda sulasa
		
00:29:16 --> 00:29:20
			comes in our homes. Let us try to
the Barkat of Ramadan to make this
		
00:29:20 --> 00:29:23
			firm determination, at least three
days every month we will spend in
		
00:29:23 --> 00:29:27
			the path of Allah Tala, so that
three through the three days, the
		
00:29:27 --> 00:29:31
