			on this Plessey day of Friday, Yeoman Juma the first Friday of this month of Ramadan, we praise and
thank our Lord and creator loss of Hannah guatamala, for having given us all the ability to once
again within our lives, witnesses place it month, and we ask Allah subhana wa Taala that just as he
has allowed us to witness this month, he makes it a month in which we take maximum benefit of the
opportunities that Alonso region has placed before us that he makes it a month in which we fast and
we pray, and we give charity and we sat down and make to her and to all of those other good deeds
that earns the pleasure of Allah subhanho wa Taala. And through those deeds that are larger, which
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:50
			will frees us and our parents, our wives, our children and our families. And everyone in this oma
from the fire of *. Indeed, it is from the greatest blessings of Allah subhanho wa Taala. That
alarms that Virgil has chosen me and you selected us, and given us this great opportunity to witness
the month of Ramadan. And because the vast majority of us have witnessed many Ramadan's, some of us
maybe this is our 10th 20 3040, maybe even 50 of Ramadan, and maybe even more. Sometimes the problem
and something comes upon you so many times, is that its significance drains within your eyes. You
think that it is insignificant because it is something which you expect to come upon you over and
		
00:02:50 --> 00:03:30
			over again, just like most of us take for granted the fact that we've pray five times a day, every
single day, because it's something that happens every day and so many times. It's something which we
take for granted. Even though we know that our Prophet told us and Allahu Allah, he was telling him
that when a person dies, and is within the grave for them, just to come back and pray two quick
short rockers would be more beloved to them than everything else in this world. Before me and you,
we take it for granted. The month of Ramadan is like that as well. Because we've witnessed so many
Ramadan's and it comes and goes every single year. And we because of the deception of shaitan. Many
		
00:03:30 --> 00:04:11
			of us think and expect and believe that we will witness many more Ramadan's May Allah give us that
opportunity. But we take it for granted. And so we think that it's something that we can take
lightly. But our Prophet told us on Allahu alayhi wa sallam in a hadith that is narrated by his
servant and the illustrious companion Ennis Immanuel Malik. rhodiola Wang, he said, sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam if you're not the Huracan, whatever dolina for her to rock Mattila for in the dilla
Hina for her team, a rough method, you'll see will be harming your shadowman rebar there was an
Allah And yesterday our article and you me in our article, he said, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam do
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:24
			good deeds perform good deeds throughout your life, but take benefit and grasp the opportunities of
the mercy of Allah subhanho wa Taala. For there are times and seasons when Allah azza wa jal bestows
more.
		
00:04:26 --> 00:05:00
			And that mercy He gives to whomsoever He wills from amongst his slaves. So ask Allah azza wa jal
that he conceals your sins and mistakes and that he lays your fears. Allah subhanho wa Taala from
the seasons of His mercy is this month of Ramadan. And that's why the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam, even though he was the greatest of people when it came to the worship of Allah subhanho wa
Taala. And there was no one more subservient, more submissive to his Lord and creator than our
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam even though if you were to look at all of the various
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:39
			Many different acts of worship that we as Muslims can perform. If you were to look at prayer, if you
were to look at the recitation of the Quran, if you were to look at charity, if you were to look at
good character, any act of worship, you would find that there is no greater example than our Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and that was just his usual normal South anytime throughout the year.
But even he sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in this month of Ramadan came upon him, he would Excel, and
he would do more, and he would become more generous, and he would spend more time praying, and he
would give more charity, and he would spend more time reciting and understanding and reflecting upon
		
00:05:39 --> 00:06:20
			the Quran. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam did this as an example for us. It is difficult
for me to summarize all of this in the single hotbar. But I want to take a single aspect, a single
aspect from the life of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, in terms of the act of worship that
he used to perform, and how it is something that we need to concentrate on at the beginning of this
month of Ramadan. And that is the connection of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam with the
book of Allah subhanho wa Taala with the Quran, not just in terms of its recitation, because insha
Allah Most of us in sha Allah, if not all of us, in this month of Ramadan, we will attempt to recite
		
00:06:20 --> 00:07:02
			Quran and inshallah the vast majority of us at the very least, will finish this recitation at least
once we will finish reciting the Quran from cover to cover a single time at least insha Allah Allah,
that is a goal and aspiration that we all have. However, the thing that I want to focus on is how
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, not only did he used to recite the Quran, and more, and
concentrate on his recitation, but he would spend more time studying the Quran, analyzing its
meanings. Because if there is a problem that we faced today in our oma in general, whether it's us
as Muslims in our personal lives, or with our families, or as a community and as an oma, it is that
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:40
			we have become distanced from the Quran, not distance in the sense that we don't have a Quran at
home. Because in fact, we probably have more copies of the Quran now than our parents probably did,
or our grandparents. Now everyone has a copy of the Quran on their mobile phone, on their tablet, on
their computer, on their laptop. And even if you don't, there are many websites, that with the click
of a button, you can find the Quran, it is available, the way that it's now been bound, the
calligraphy, the type of of cover that we have, all of these things are much better than they used
to be before. The problem isn't that there are less copies of the Quran, although we can find the
		
00:07:40 --> 00:08:21
			Quran or perhaps even for some of us that we don't miss fight the origin. But one of the greatest
problems that we face as an oma is that we have become distanced from the meaning of the Quran, that
we don't understand the Quran, from the smallest of sewers to the greatest of sorrows, from verse
number one to the last verse in the Quran. We have a difficulty and there was a problem that we face
that we don't understand the Quran and because we don't understand the Quran, we cannot reflect over
its meanings. We cannot contemplate and ponder over the message that Allah azza wa jal wants to give
to us. And so the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he says in the famous Hadith, in the month of
		
00:08:21 --> 00:09:04
			Ramadan, he would be more generous than he would be at any time. And the reason for his generosity
was that gibreel alayhis salam would come down, and he want you the rest who are on the word that is
given is that he would study the on on with the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, not just simply
its recitation, not simply revising, its memorization. The word they are also means to study and to
analyze. It means to ponder and reflect. And this is the problem that we face. Our Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was someone who when he recited the Quran, it would affect him, because
he understood the meanings. And he contemplated over the meanings of the Quran. And there are many
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:45
			narrations of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam, that, that tell us that this was the case in
Ramadan and outside of Ramadan in the hadith of Abdullah bin or Miss rhodiola, who uncollected in
the Sahara of Eman Muslim, he said that I came to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and he
said to me, are we being Miss ruled with sight? And to me? So I replied, and I said up our lake and
we're on a council, how can I recite the Quran to you a messenger of Allah, when the Quran was
revealed upon you, it was revealed to you and you want me to recite to you, by Allah in the Hebrew
and the smuggler whom in it, he said that sometimes I like to hear its recitation from someone else.
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:48
			So even my throat or the Allahu, and this great,
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:59
			scholarly companion, began to recite from the beginning of surah to Nisa, and he recited and he
recited until he reached a verse in which alonza which says
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:43
			For k for either jitna min call the meeting Misha head wandjina because hula is shahida then what
will your case be? When we bring from every single nation, a witness, and we will make you a
Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam a witness amongst all of them. When he reached this verse him
and said, I heard the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam say, has book enough, and because of the
aura, and the presence and the respect that had been through the heart of the Prophet salallahu,
alayhi wasallam, as he was reciting, he was lowering his head would look directly at the face of the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, but when he said a woman was rude enough, he said, I raised my
		
00:10:43 --> 00:11:23
			head, and I saw tears flowing from the eyes of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam. Because the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa cenomanian, recited this verse, He understood that he replied to him,
that Allah was addressing him, that our time will come on the Day of Judgment, when all of the
prophets will give testimony against all of the nations. But those nations will not accept the
testimony of their own province, they will ask for witnesses to be brought to attest to the
truthfulness of the prophets that Allah sent to them. So Allah subhanho wa Taala will make us this
oma witnesses against them. Why? Because Allah has told us the stories over and over again in the
		
00:11:23 --> 00:12:04
			Quran, we will bear witness against them, but who will be our witness who will bear testimony for us
who will testify on our behalf, that responsibility will fall upon the shoulders of only one man,
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam and even though this is something which Allah is speaking
about many centuries in the future about the process alum died 1400 years ago, this incident is
about the Day of Judgment hundreds of years to come. Yet still the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam was affected, that he made him cry. And this is only one such incident. In another incident,
the hadith of Buddha rhodiola when he said that I was with the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:51
			one night, praying for your family in print 100. And by Allah, He only recited one verse, one verse
the whole night, didn't move from it. And that is the verse that Allah Subhana Allah says, into the
boom for him, not a burden, that if you choose to punish them, Allah, then these are your slaves.
You can punish them if you wish, or enter the home for indika until Aziz will hack him. But if you
choose to show them mercy and forgiveness, the new are all mighty, all wise. The Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam understood that this verse was applying to me I knew that if Allah subhanho wa
Taala chose to punish us, then who can stop Allah subhanho wa Taala who can delay his punishment?
		
00:12:52 --> 00:13:34
			Who has the audacity to stand between us and Allah, and demand that our mana punishes into a deep
wound for him number a burden. They are your slaves or law, but because of the love and the mercy
and the care of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam that he showed to his oma, he repeated this
verse over and over again. And under the narration, Sahih Muslim the same verse that is repeating
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam began to cry, and he said Aloma Almighty Almighty, Allah,
this is my nation, my nation. So Allah subhanho wa Taala said to the angel jibreel Allah His salam,
go to Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa send them and ask him what makes him cry. And Allah knows what
		
00:13:34 --> 00:14:16
			makes him cry. Allah hears and he sees and he knows, but as an example to me, and you go and ask him
what makes him cry. So Djibouti rally his son, um, came and he said to the Prophet, sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam, he asked him and Mohammed, what makes you cry? So he told him, that he was fearful
his oma, the mayor knew, if Allah azza wa jal chooses to punish us He will punish us that Allah
subhana wa Taala may entrance into the fire. So Jubilee, rally his cinnamon back to Allah, and he
told him what made him crying. So Allah subhanho wa Taala said to Jubilee will go back to him and
say in nurse an OB Kofi Matic will Anna sue me We will make you pleased we will make you happy when
		
00:14:16 --> 00:14:59
			it comes to your oma and we will never harm him. But look at how the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wasallam interacts with the Quran. Look at how when he recites this verse, the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam repeats this verse is unable to proceed and continue because of the weight of the
verse because of how heavy it is. Because of the burden that he feels even though this verse does
not apply to him, sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam, his position with Allah is guaranteed his places and
Jenna has already been reserved. It is about me and you. But so the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam This is how he would interact with the book of Allah azza wa jal in yet another example, in
		
00:14:59 --> 00:14:59
			the hadith of Allah
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:44
			Chateau de Allahu anhu. She said, the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam came to me one
night. And he said to me today, Arusha, let me worship My Lord. Don't disturb me. So I saw the
Allah. And he replied, and she said, Indeed, I love a messenger of Allah, that which you love. So
she said, he began to pray. And as he was praying, he began to cry. And he cried so much, that his
cheeks became wet with his tears. And then his beard became wet with his tears. And then he went
into record, and he continued to cry. And he came out of record, and he continued to cry. And he
went into su June, and he continued to cry. He cried so much, that the ground around him became
		
00:15:44 --> 00:16:25
			moist and wet with his tears. He cried, and he continued this way, until the time of fragile came
in. And as the time of fragile came in Bilaal rhodiola, who didn't have the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam, he came to call the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, to tell him that the time
of Fujian is approaching. He came in and he found him crying. He found him in the state. So be
routed to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam a messenger of Allah, do you do quiet like this?
Look for Allah who look at them in them because I'm at Aha. And Allah has forgiven you for all of
your sins already. Past, present and future. This is how you cry. So the Prophet said to him,
		
00:16:25 --> 00:17:02
			sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, I found an akuna abdon Shakira, should I not be a grateful servant of
Allah? But on zealot Allah your Laila to react when you don't demand? Aha, one of them you forget
via for very this night, Allah azza wa jal revealed to me verses woe to the one may he be destroyed
the one who recites these verses and doesn't think about them. those verses are the final passage of
soda early and moron in which Allah azza wa jal says enough he helped somewhat he will walk the
laughing lane he won a hurdle in the above, Allah Xena has grown Allah
		
00:17:04 --> 00:17:09
			wanna jump obey Him, wait for Karuna for your help some of you will have
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:52
			heard about Allah Subhana can subpoena other banagher indeed, in the creation of the heavens and the
earth, and indeed in the changing of the day and the night, there are signs for the people of
understanding science for the people who reflect, ponder and think those who remember Allah once
they are standing. And once they are sitting, and once they are lying down, and they think about the
correlation of Allah. They think about the creation of the heavens and the earth and it really leads
them to that realization that Oh Allah our Lord, You didn't create this in just in mockery in play.
So glory, mute you Allah, and save us from the punishment of the Fire. And the verses continue and
		
00:17:52 --> 00:18:33
			continue this passage of the arm, stop the Prophet sallallahu He will send them made him cry for a
whole night cry to such an extent that the ground around him his word, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
Look at how the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam would interact with the Quran. Look at how when
he recited a verse, it wasn't just simply about verbalizing or or saying the words, but rather it
was about the meaning. What is the message that Allah azza wa jal wants me and you to take away in
another Hadith in the narration of what had been Abdullah rhodiola who and he said that a group of
companions one day was sitting with the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and some of them said
		
00:18:33 --> 00:19:18
			to him, you know sort of love shipped, shipped out of stone Allah, O Messenger of Allah, you have
become old messenger of Allah, your hair has become white. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
replied and he said, share your Bethany who don't refer to her. It is Surah Hood of the Quran and
surah similar to it, that have made me grow old that have made my my beard go white, my hair go
white. In another generation, he said Shay Bethany houden will walk you know, one more salad, where
am I at a sir alone or in the Shem Sukkot, we're on these five soldiers of the Quran, who would work
in masala Ahmed sir, alone is a sham so called Iraq. These are the souls that have made me go
		
00:19:18 --> 00:19:56
			around. Imagine that the recitation of the Quran is physically ageing him. The Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam doesn't say I have become old, because chronologically my body clock has become
older, doesn't say I become old because of the stress of my family and my oma and all of those many
things that he had to deal with. Because of these five sores, because of the way he understood them,
the way he internalized them, the way that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam pondered over
them. And more than one scholar has mentioned to me and rahimullah that the reason why this was in
particular I mentioned is because they speak about the punishment of Allah and they speak about the
		
00:19:56 --> 00:19:59
			day of judgment and the punishment that Allah azza wa jal has in store
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:37
			For those people that he chooses to punish, may Allah save us from that. So the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam interacted with the Quran. And it wasn't just the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wasallam, but his companions and the scholars who follow them, when they would recite the Quran, it
wasn't just simply about the recitation of the Quran, in fact is narrated for more than one
companion. And for more than one scholar, that they would actually frown upon those people who
simply recite the Quran so fast that they don't understand a single word, or they recite the Quran
simply to finish its recitation, even though it's recitation in and of itself is virtuous, and there
		
00:20:37 --> 00:21:18
			is much reward to be gained. But when it becomes your habit and you're accustomed to recite the
Quran in this way, very few, very little of its meanings enter into your heart. And the greatest or
one of the greatest purposes of the Quran is for you to understand the Quran is for you to interact
with the Quran, ponder, reflect, contemplate over the Quran, Abubakar on the Allahu and he said that
when I heard the verse being revealed may YAML, so a huge survey. whosoever does evil, he will be
punished. He said I came to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and I said O Messenger of Allah.
Are you an alum nochmals who and who from amongst us has never committed evil. Allah says if you
		
00:21:18 --> 00:22:00
			commit evil, you will be punished. Abubakar is afraid, who from amongst us doesn't commit evil. So
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, Abubakar do not become sad, do not become ill do not
have hardships in your life. That is the way Allah subhanho wa Taala is punishing you for those
mistakes. Meaning the for the believers in this life, the trials that we go through, they expiate
our sins, they cleanse us from those mistakes and those sins and Allah subhanho wa Taala will punish
the disbelievers with the fire, but the companions used to interact with the Quran. And consumable
Muhammad Rahim Allah, the nephew of Arusha, radi Allahu Allah He said, that I would often go on
		
00:22:00 --> 00:22:40
			Enter upon eyeshadow, the Allahu Allah. This was many years after the death of the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he said, I entered upon her one day during the daytime, and she was
standing and praying. And she was reciting a single verse, and she kept repeating it over and over
again. And all she would do was cry. And there is the verse in Surah toto femen Allah who are Lena
Baba karma or the sermon that Allah has conferred his favor his blessings upon us, and he has saved
us from the punishment of the scorching fire. He said that I sat with her, waiting for her to finish
that I could speak to her. But she took so long, and she kept on crying and repeating this verse
		
00:22:41 --> 00:23:21
			that I left her house, and I went to do some other chores that I had to do. And then I came back
later and I found in exactly the same position, crying over exactly the same verse of the Quran.
This is how the companions or the Allahu anhu would interact with the Quran. This is how the
recitation of the Quran and its meanings and it's understanding what affects them rhodiola Hanuman
Jain and it wasn't just them, but even the scholars who came after them. And what even more Abdullah
Aziz Rahim Allah who tada the great and illustrious Allah and Holly if of the Muslims. His wife
Fatima, says that I saw him one night praying, he would stand in prayer. And he started reciting
		
00:23:21 --> 00:24:02
			surah to one of the smallest soldiers of the Quran. There's probably not a person here except that
he's memorized alpari malpighia a woman adrar common carrier, but she says that when he reached the
verses, yo Mei akun nurse who called for rush in my booth, what a cool analogy by Luke and Raven
elmen fouche on that day, meaning the Day of Judgment, when the people will be like moths, which are
dispersed, and under day meaning the Day of Judgment, when the mountains will be like fluffy one.
She said he began to cry, and he cried so much and so loudly that he collapsed. He found down and he
cried so much that I feared that he was about to die. And then when he stopped crying, I thought he
		
00:24:02 --> 00:24:08
			was actually dead. But then I heard him continue to cry and cry. And he didn't stand up again until
the other end.
		
00:24:09 --> 00:24:50
			Until the Adana furjan over two verses of the Quran that we recite, and we recite them often within
our prayers, and we hear it's recitation by the Imam, the scholars of Islam, when we hear these
stories, sometimes we're amazed about the profound effect that they had upon them. This wasn't them
showing off. It wasn't them putting on a display. This was how they were there when the Quran would
be recited to them or when they would recite it themselves. It would affect them in this way.
Surbiton, bonanni Rahim Allah tala, one of the scholars of the past, he would cry so much when he
would recite the Quran that he began to lose his eyesight that affected his vision. So the doctor
		
00:24:50 --> 00:24:59
			came to him to see what was wrong and he said that the only cure is for you to stop crying. sabbat
said in that case, I will continue to cry. For there is no goodness
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:42
			In an eye, which kind of shed tears, there is no goodness in an eye. When he hears the recitation of
the verses of Allah, it is moved to shed tears. Allah Muhammad Rahim Allah, Allah said that I was
with the baton rahima Hello to Allah. I was with the Hebrew serene. And when the Quran would be
recited to him, he will often faint and collapse, he would faint. And he Mamet says, I know by
Allah, that if anyone was able to stop himself from crying in public, or stop himself from
collapsing and fainting in public, it would have been able to sorry, he disliked that in public
people should see him cry, well that people should seem affected in this way. But he was unable to
		
00:25:42 --> 00:26:24
			stop himself. This was how the spoilers of a lot of the scholars of Islam interacted with the speech
of Allah subhanho wa Taala. This is how it affected them. We are at the beginning of this month of
Ramadan and if there is anything which is closely associated to this month, and which is synonymous
with this month, it is the shadow Ramadan under the Orion, this is the month of Ramadan in which we
will reveal the Quran. In Tanzania who feel a little odd. We revealed this whole arm to you on the
Night of Decree leader to cuddle. There is nothing that you can achieve that is greater, more
beneficial in this month of Ramadan than connecting back with that book of Allah subhanho wa Taala
		
00:26:24 --> 00:27:01
			not just simply in its recitation, but more importantly in understanding its meaning, and
understanding and pondering and contemplating over what it is that Allah azza wa jal is saying to me
and you, we ask Allah subhana wa Taala that he softens our hearts and that a large soldier makes us
from amongst those people who recite the Quran and understand the Quran and contemplate over the
Quran. And that he makes us from amongst his chosen selected few that are the people of Allah, the
special people of Allah for they are the people of the Quran barakallahu li walakum phylloquinone

that we're trying to accomplish and during this month of Ramadan, he will come and try to place a

that the month of Ramadan is the month in which the devils are chained. But some of the scholars
said that the devils that are being referred to in this hadith are the devils that roamed the earth.
As for the Shang pan or the devil that a large Virgil has placed with each and every single one of
us, our Korean, the one that whispers to us, the one who tells us to sin and disobey. Those devils
		
00:27:59 --> 00:28:36
			are still there. They are still with us, even though they have become weaker in this month of
Ramadan. But for me, one of the things that they will try to do is distance you from the book of
Allah subhanho wa Taala. I don't expect anyone here to recite the whole of the tough seal to read
the whole, the whole of the Tafseer of the Quran. I don't expect anyone here to memorize all of the
Quran. I don't expect anyone here to listen to an explanation of all of the Quran. But each and
every single one of us must make that determination and discipline ourselves from this very
beginning of Ramadan. That at the very least by the time this month ends, the soul knows that we
		
00:28:36 --> 00:29:16
			know that we recite that we've memorized that we teach to our children Surah Fatiha ayatul kursi
sort of follow up analysis last these tours of the Quran. At the very least, we should understand
what they mean. At the very least we should know what they mean. At the very least when we recite
them, we should be able to stop and ponder over the meanings. It is a beginning Yes, but it is a
beginning that insha Allah is blessing and I will spare you to continue after this month finishes.
Don't let this month of Ramadan go go by, like many Ramadan's have passed before. The normal man
comes with full of enthusiasm, and full of vigor and passion and energy. But by the time Ramadan
		
00:29:16 --> 00:29:53
			finishes, we look back with regret and remorse that we didn't achieve our goals. We didn't meet our
expectations and our targets. We found short we were deficient in the way that we should have
worshipped Allah subhanho wa Taala. Make goals that are realistic for yourself, include your family,
your children, and make sure that in this blessed month, you connect with the Quran. And alongside
that to all of the many good deeds that Allah subhanho wa Taala has placed before you this
opportunity that olara surgeon has placed before you in the strength blessed month of Ramadan and
from the greatest of those acts and the most noblest of them is to give charity and on that note we
		
00:29:53 --> 00:29:59
			ask you that on this place today of john, this first day, this first Friday of the special month of
Ramadan that you give
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:34
			generosity to your Masjid and you donate generously to the way of Allah subhanho wa Taala perhaps by
giving this charity Allah subhana wa tada will purify our hearts and cleanse our souls, and that
Allah subhanaw taala will make it easy for us for the rest of this month to continue to worship Him
in a way that pleases Him and in a way that grunts has his his mercy and wants his freedom from the
fire of * for us and our families. Somehow not because the phone was Salam ala mousseline hamdu
Lillahi Rabbil alameen, wa sallahu, wa ala nabina, Muhammad Ali, he was a beginner's mind.
