Mohammedan sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was shut down to Hakuna Matata, Hakuna Matata Hakuna Bala now

00:01:23--> 00:02:01

this being the first Juma of the explicit month of Ramadan. I want to begin with a hadith of our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam because it was his common practice that especially for this month of Ramadan, he would greet his companions with this month. Now this wasn't always the general practice of our Prophet salallahu alayhi wasallam for every act of worship, he wouldn't for example, greet his companions or his followers after the obligatory prayers. And this is something which is prevalent in some communities, that when they offer one of the obligatory prayers in congregation, they greet one another after the Salah. It's not from the Sunnah. Maybe you can do it once or twice

00:02:01--> 00:02:38

as a one off thing but it's not from the Sunnah of the Prophet son alone, he will send them wooden greetings companions during the time of Hajj. For those people that don't perform Hajj wouldn't just go and greet them on any and every occasion. But one time in which he would speak to them and he would greet them. At the beginning of a season of worship is this month of Ramadan. What is collected in the Muslim Imam Muhammad in the center of the Mammon necessity on the federal level before a lot of the law what under our Prophet said sort of the law while he was selling them for the commission mobarak for the commission Ramadan Mubarak, for the law when it comes

00:02:39--> 00:03:25

to photography ababu sama, wa Taala Kofi available jehane mahalo fi shoppin fi Laila to Roman official, man holy Messiah raha for the Quran, he said that indeed that has come upon you a blessed month, the month of Ramadan, and a large surgeon has obligated upon you to fastest month within this month on large scale regionals open wide the gates of Paradise, and he has closed shut the gates of the fire. And he has ordered and commanded that the devils be chained. And then he sits on a log while he will send them within this month is a single night, it is equal to 1000 months, whosoever is prevented from attaining the good of that night than they have been prevented from all good. So

00:03:25--> 00:04:02

the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would speak to his companions, he would address them and he would speak to them about the importance of the explicit man. And that's because this man has an amazing opportunity for reward. And it has many lessons, and many things that we can take and benefit from it. And all of those lessons go back to a single point. And that is the point that I want to bring to your attention in this hotbar. If you think of all of the footballs that you've heard over the years concerning this month of Ramadan, and the different aspects and the different virtues and the different benefits, the different acts of worship that you've heard of being spoken

00:04:02--> 00:04:34

of, in the context of Ramadan, from charity to fasting from prayer to the recitation of the Quran, from Toba and seeking a large xeljanz forgiveness. If you think about the do's and the don'ts and the concessions that are offered in this month of Ramadan, they will come back to a central point. And that is one thing that trauma bond brings to us and to our attention is the beauty of Islam. The beauty of the Sharia. There are many occasions in which you can see the beauty of Islam, the few are as big and as

00:04:36--> 00:04:59

emphasized as the month of Ramadan. The beauty of Islam. This is a month in which we're told to excel in our good deeds. And that is from the beauty of our religion, that Allah subhanaw taala has given to a seasons and times and places in which we need to up our efforts. We need to put in some more time some more effort into attaining a large amount of pleasure

00:05:00--> 00:05:40

This month of Ramadan is a prime example of that. We as humans, all of us without exception of people of sin, we sin by D and we sin by night we sin an open and we sin in secret. We sin alone and in seclusion, and we sin openly and publicly. And in congregation, we have so many sins that if you were to try to write them down, to remember them to enumerate them, it would be beyond our capabilities. And that is our nature as humans. And a large religion has given us opportunities throughout the none greater than the month of Ramadan, to seek forgiveness, for those deed for those sins that we've committed. Our Prophet told us a little lower, it was seldom, and perhaps one of the

00:05:40--> 00:06:00

most oft quoted ahaadeeth when it comes to this month of Ramadan, men sama Ramadan, Eman and the Saba of your Allah who Metapod them among them a woman Hama, Ramadan Eman and de Saba warfare Allahumma to put them in them a woman commonly referred to the man and mighty Saba of your Allahumma Taka.

00:06:01--> 00:06:45

Whosoever fasts this month of Ramadan, having a man believing in a large set of agenda, knowing that Allah is alone worthy of worship, and then making the worships and CD for him and having the stab hoping in the reward from Allah, knowing that Allah is the one alone who gives and grants reward, but at the same time fearing his punishment, in case the good deeds or our good deeds are accepted, at the same time fearing his punishment, his anger and his wrath in case we fall below that minimum level that is desired of us as Muslims, Whosoever has those two components of faith and hope and fear. And the fastest month of Ramadan, Allah will forgive them for all of their sins. And whosoever

00:06:45--> 00:07:25

stands the nights of Ramadan, in taraweeh prayer, praying to a larger agenda, again with those two conditions of Eman and hope and fear that a large religion will forgive them for all of those sins. But such as the greatness of this month that our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam then went on to see and whosoever stands just the one night of Lila to recall, just that single night, but they have a man and belief in Allah. And they have those components of hope in the laws reward and fear from Allah punishment, then Allah will forgive them for all of their sins. And that is why our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam who already had all of his sins forgiven, who already didn't need to

00:07:25--> 00:07:40

feel a loss punishment was already given salvation by a loss of Hannah Montana, in this month of Ramadan, he too would exam he too would realize that this is too good of an opportunity to pass by Abdullah Abbas or the Allahu anhu.

00:07:42--> 00:08:22

Turner Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam adroitness what kind of Adama, Kumasi Ramadan, our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was the most generous of people. Outside of Ramadan, he was the most generous of people. No one ever came to him to ask for something, except that he gave it to them. And if he didn't have it, he would ask for someone else to give it to them. No one would come to him with some need, or some issue or some problem or some advice that he needed, except that they would find the profits and a lot while he was selling them open and willing. He epitomized generosity in all of its forms. But then he said he was the most generous when it came in the month

00:08:22--> 00:09:02

of Ramadan, you will think that generosity couldn't be surpassed, there was a more that he could do. But in the month of Ramadan, he would do more. He would do more not only in charity, but in terms of his players in terms of his recitation of the Quran, in terms of generally coming closer to Allah subhana wa tada as an example for me and you. And that is part of the beauty of our religion. A large religion has given us this amazing opportunity to gain reward given us this opportunity for us to seek forgiveness for our sins. And you may think that it's only one Ramadan, that is only one month, there is only a few days of fasting or a few nights of prayer. But there is a big difference

00:09:02--> 00:09:38

between those people who fast, even one month of Ramadan, as opposed to those people who are large, there was a decree that they passed away last year, and then are able to see another month of Ramadan, and what is clicked in suddenly blue. Imagine the Muslim measurement on the authority of God hegner obey the law, the law one, he said that there were two companions in the time of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. One of them was more ardent in his worship strove more in his worship than the other, and that one who strove more died, passed away. And then a year later, his brother, his friend, also passed away, but hard on your loved one was one of the 10 companions,

00:09:39--> 00:09:59

promised paradise and amazing senior companion. He said that I saw the two of them in a dream, and I sold the one who died a year later, even though he apparently seem to be less in motivation less in his acts of worship, he was given a greater reward than the one who died the year before. So he mentioned this to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam

00:10:00--> 00:10:40

And the profit settings on a low hourly or send them did mock this man who died a year later. Please so many prayers that his brother didn't pray. I did not this one who died a year later, fast another month of Ramadan, that his brother was unable to pray fast. The companion said yes, so messenger of Allah, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. So the difference between the two is like the difference of the heavens and the earth. That amazing opportunity, that one month of Ramadan, that someone else wasn't able to give, wasn't able to have a larger which gives the reward, its differences like the heavens and the earth. And that is part of the beauty of our Sharia. But also

00:10:40--> 00:11:20

from the beauty of our study are that this month of Ramadan brings to our attention is that the Sharia is easy. It is a Sharia and a religion of mercy is the Sharia when things have been made into such an extent, that there are things that we can manage with and cope with a loss of data tells us in the Quran, Masha, Allah, Allah, demon Herat, Allah hasn't placed any difficulty burden upon you in this religion that you can't bear. Yes, there is effort. And yes, there is a need to push ourselves in this month of Ramadan. And we don't do anything in this life, except that there's some effort that is part and parcel of that action. But at the same time, this religion is easy. Any

00:11:20--> 00:11:57

component that we find too difficult to bear that has adverse effects upon our health or our well being the shady outcomes, and it makes it easy for us. And it's not just in the normal bank, but outside of Ramadan as well. The harita van Chateau de la grande inside Buhari, just to show you the beauty of this religion. She said that we were traveling with the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and we were coming back from a battle from an expedition of war. And we stopped at a place to rest. And we were at a time in our journey where all of our water had finished, didn't have any water left that we were carrying. And the place that we stopped to rest also didn't contain water.

00:11:58--> 00:12:35

But as we were there and as we were resting. I lost a necklace. She said what are your long run how I lost a necklace that was dear to me. So I was trying to find it and I couldn't find it. So I told the profits on a low while he was sent them and he began to search for it. And then the profits on a lot while he was still him spent so long searching for it that the evening session and it was too late to continue to travel. The whole army is now stationary because of a necklace belonging to an Chateau de la Juana. The companion some of them became agitated and upset, they don't have water. They don't have water to drink. They don't have water for the animals. There's no watering holes

00:12:35--> 00:13:11

nearby, and they don't have water for will do don't have water to make model. So they came to Abu Bakr rhodiola one and they said it's because of your daughter and her necklace. The women in this predicament Abubakar on your loved one sensing the frustration of the companions who came to the Prophet son alone while he was sent him and his daughter, Alisha rhodiola, Juana, and the Prophet son alone, while he was sent him was sleeping in the lap of Asia. And he began to see to his daughter, it's because of you and your necklace that you held up a whole army, no water to be found or water to be drunk. And the whole army is now waiting because of you and your necklace. And then

00:13:11--> 00:13:30

she says he began to poke me to show me how severely upset he was. And she said that I did remove because of fear that I will disturb the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was sleeping in my lap. They spent the night there. And in the morning when they woke up for a job, and they needed to make Waldo Alonzo will send to them the verses of the Mo.

00:13:31--> 00:14:10

And this is the beauty of the Sharia. Whenever we're in a situation and the difficult place that we think that there's no way out, there surely are always comes and it facilitates ease. In the Sala many of our elders and our brothers are sitting on chairs. That is from the concession that is Sharia from the beauty of the Sharia, and the procedure of the law and the companion. He said that I came to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and he complained of hemorrhoids piles and I couldn't pray because of this condition. So the Prophet said to me is on a low while he was selling them suddenly enough for them to stop it either for inlanta started Fila gym free standing but if

00:14:10--> 00:14:46

you can't please standing then please sitting down and if you can't please sitting down then play lying down on your site. The profits on a low Arlene was Silliman yet a third example of this and what is clicking on say hello Buhari. When the people were getting ready to perform Hajj. He passed by an elderly man, a man was origin age, he was leaning on the shoulders of his two sons on either side, and they were walking with Him and He was dragging his feet. The Prophet sets on a lot while he was tell them what's wrong with this elderly man. Why is he walking like this? Why doesn't the ride Why doesn't the rest? Why are his two children dragging him along and he's in Ramiz going for

00:14:46--> 00:14:59

lunch. They said O Messenger of Allah he made an oath to Allah that He would only make Hajj walking on his feet. He made an oath to Allah, that he would travel from Medina to Mecca, walking on his feet and he's an old man he can walk

00:15:00--> 00:15:41

Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in Allah and Tara Devi had enough Salah honey. Indeed Allah is free and rich from this man having to punish himself. Allah doesn't need him to go through that extent of ordeal and difficulty harm his life, his health makes so much difficulty for his own children. Omar doesn't need that kind of worship, rather tell him to go and write. And this is the beauty of the Sharia. And that is when a large soldier in the army speaks to us about fasting he says, For men, kana Maria one Oh Allah suffer for it the two men a man or whosoever from amongst you is sick while they're traveling, then make up those days after the month of Ramadan. And if you

00:15:41--> 00:16:21

can't make up those days because of your elderly age, or because of some other condition that you have the new feed or poor person for every single day that you missed. That's from the beauty of the Sharia. And from the beauty of the Sharia is when you take that concession, Allah gives you exactly the same reward as if you were fasting. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in the shekel, Abdullah Muslim, Carla Mahoney, Latina, Dr. Boone, tabula, who have Paloma Komiyama. When a person has a condition, when they have a valid excuse that prevents them from doing any act of worship. A large religion says to the angels that write down the good deeds, right for this person, the best of

00:16:21--> 00:16:23

the actions that they use to perform

00:16:25--> 00:17:03

any action, not just any deed, the best of the good deeds that they used to perform. And that is from the beauty of the Sharia. So when we in this month of Ramadan, our sisters who don't fast because of their monthly cycles, our elders who don't fast people who have medical conditions that prevent them from fasting, if you're traveling for a valid reason, and you have to travel, then those are all concessions in the Sharia. And that is from the beauty of Islam. And this is what we learn in Ramadan, that this religion is a religion, that is amazing. So how do we, what is the Sharia? What is it given to us as individuals in order to maximize this opportunity of Ramadan, on

00:17:03--> 00:17:42

the one hand, we're told to strive and to excel and to do as much as we can. And then on the other hand, we're told that this religion is easy, that it facilitates mercy that it makes makes things comfortable for people. And so the way that we balance between the two is also from the beauty of this religion. And that is that Allah subhana wa Taala has gifted to each and every single one of us to command our own schedule, to determine what it is that we can and cannot do. A large surgeon has told us all of the opportunities that are available to us, all of those doors of good deeds and those gates of reward that are before us. But then a large surgeon only obligated fasting upon us,

00:17:43--> 00:18:20

and everything else he left for us to choose, so that it fits in with what is easiest for us. Because there's some of us weren't able to fast. And some of us will complete the turabian prayer maybe. And maybe there's other people because of their work schedule and how early they have to wake up in the morning, that it's not easy for them to do the actions and the good deeds, that are the people who don't have those same commitments are able to perform. The beauty of the Sharia, in every single aspect is that it gives to you the ability to choose what is better for yourself on the condition that you do so with sincerity, that you do so to the best of your ability. So when the

00:18:20--> 00:18:57

spinners or when the people used to come to scheffel Islam, even the taenia Rahim Allah they used to ask him, what is the best type of hedge that you can perform? Is it the hedging which you make tomra? And then you come out over time and you make the hedge the tomato? What is Iran? Or is it a fraud, which type of hedge is best, he would reply, the one that is best for you is best. If it is easy for you to do the two things separately, that is better. If it's not, then it is better for you to combine them. And if you can only make Hajj alone with that camera, then do so. And that's how it is in the month of Ramadan. Allah Subhana Allah has given to us many opportunities of good deeds and

00:18:57--> 00:19:36

those good deeds. Yes, we know that we should read as much or an preferably finished the Quran once if not twice, or three times, that we should pray as much as we can, and give as much charity as we can. But that may not always be possible in the case of every person, you know your best and Alonzo which knows your sincerity. And Allah subhanaw taala knows if you're performing those actions to the best of your capability, but from the beauty of the shinier and from the ease of the Sharia. And from the amazing nature of this religion that a large surgeon has given to us is that there are so many small deeds that we can perform that if we were to concentrate upon them in this month of

00:19:36--> 00:20:00

Ramadan small actions that we take for granted small deeds that we often overlook and neglect. They contain amazing amounts of reward. things that we take for granted that we do every single day that outside of Ramadan have become habitual and routine to us. If we were to spend some time focusing on them in this month of Ramadan. They are gates to amazingly what from amongst them is missing.

00:20:00--> 00:20:38

Although everyone makes what do we make will do multiple times a day. But the window that is being referred to is what is called is Babel. perfecting your dough, making model properly and calmly doing it to such an extent that you make sure that you wash each and every single limb properly as it should be watched the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and he spoke about the gates of Genoa, the gates of Paradise are eight gates, each one of those cases for a single act of worship, there is a good for the people of fasting called Aurora Yang, and there is a good for the people of jihad and for the people of charity and for the people of prayer. And then the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa

00:20:38--> 00:21:19

sallam was asked about those people on that day of judgment will be allowed to enter from any of the eight gates that they choose, only gates will be open before them. And he will think that it takes amazing amounts of deeds and amazing actions of worship, to be able to take that honor. But the Prophet told us sallallahu alayhi wa sallam that whosoever makes widow, and they perfect they will do they do it to the best of their ability, do it properly. And then afterwards they see a shadow Allah, Allah Illallah Muhammad Rasul Allah, Allah will open for them all of the eight gates of gender simple action that we take for granted in this month of Ramadan, if you're busy, if you don't

00:21:19--> 00:21:57

have time or if you're at work, but you're going to make Waldo irrespective of where you are just taking some extra time a couple of minutes more and doing that we'll do properly has amazingly what Not only that, but then when it comes to our Salah, if normally we're busy and we only pray the follow up records, only the obligatory part of the salah and we miss our Sooners, this is an amazing opportunity for reward, the prophet Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam karate and federal hero Mina dunya mafia, those two records of Salatin fudger are better than this world and everything within it. And whosoever please 12 optional records a day Allah will build for them a palace in paradise.

00:21:58--> 00:22:36

Not only that, believe in in our Salah when we're praying, another issue that's become habitual to us. We pray and we rushed and we pray and we rush. And so many times our mind mind is so busy and preoccupied that we rarely Connect only connect very little with our Salah, in this month of Ramadan, an act of worship that again is easy to perform, that you're going to be performing anyway. You take two or three minutes extra, and you slow down the pace and you think about what it is that you're reading. It contains amazing reward. The Hadith in Sahih al Bukhari, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, when he saw companion into the question, and he played himself was praying. And

00:22:36--> 00:23:09

then as he stood up from record, he said something allowed him and hamidah robina Well, I can hand over our Lord all praises do to you. He said it in such a way that the Prophet sets an alarm while he was sending them to Middleton with a Latina Malika, here to the to the Runa. Home to buena one, I saw over 30 angels, each one of them racing to be the first one to write down that good deed, just because of the way that he said it. One single statement of the Salah over 30 angels raced towards it. And that had it isn't so

00:23:10--> 00:23:46

it is an amazing opportunity for reward, reciting the Quran. When you're traveling to work or you're coming back from work when you have a few moments to spend. It's not a condition of the plan that you have to have it open all the time and to read from cover to cover. Yes, that's something that we should do. And we should into perform in this month of Ramadan. But those times where that opportunity isn't available to read what you know from memory is also equally rewarding. So to live last, that sort of the role of a snow that we think is not enough to read, then the Prophet Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam that it is equal to a third of the Quran. That's all you can know and

00:23:46--> 00:24:25

only can read. Once you're busy Once you're at work once you have a few moments to spare, it is an amazing amount of good deeds, making the kind of alarms that were generally remembering Allah subhana wa tada those simple statements that flow so easily from the tongue. It most of us don't have the mind or the the ability to remember that it's something that we need to do. It is an amazing source of reward. The Prophet told us sallallahu alayhi wa sallam single hamdulillah just pleasing Allah signal hamdulillah fills the skills of good deeds, to see Subhana Allah He will be hemmed in seeing all Glory be to Allah all praises to him Subhana Allah He will be humbly a lot of

00:24:25--> 00:24:59

plans for you a tree in paradise to say Subhana Allah He will be humbled the use of Hannah Laila when the Prophet told us on a loved one, it was seldom in the last hydrated emammal Buhari collected in his famous book of Hadith. He said that there are two statements of Han Allah who will be harmed Subhana Allah, Allah or lien that are beloved to Allah, they are light upon the tongue, but extremely heavy upon the skills to say Subhan Allah He will be handy 100 times the Prophet said on the lower leading or send them will forgive for you all of your sins, even if they're like the froth of the ocean. takes you two minutes, three minutes.

00:25:00--> 00:25:41

Wherever you want to see Subhanallah he will be handed 100 times and it gives you forgiveness for all of your sins, to say Subhana Allah 100 times the Prophet told us sallallahu alayhi wa sallam will write for you 1000 good deeds all removed from you 1000 since these are things that don't take more than a minute or two to complete, to c'est la, La quwata illa Billah kunzelmann koulos in general, he said that it is from the treasures of Paradise, to say that how noble La quwata illa Billah to show you how amazing this opportunity of reward is, our mother, the wife of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam Julia rhodiola when she said that one day the Prophet sallallahu alayhi

00:25:41--> 00:26:20

wa sallam left for Salatin fudger and I was sitting in my place of prayer, remembering Allah, making Vicar of Allah. And then he returned many hours later, once the sun had risen, and I was still in the same exact spot, remembering a large soldier should make him think of Allah. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said to her, have you spent all of that time in that same position, remembering Allah azza wa jal? She said yes. So messenger of Allah, I've been making decode the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam By Allah, I have said four statements only for things during that whole time, that are heavier in the skills than all of that record that you made. All of that

00:26:20--> 00:27:04

out of making record for things I said, they are heavier in the skills that everything that you just did. So panela he will be handy, either the holiday worried or NFC was in a terace me that the climax or praises due to Allah by the number of his creation, and by the, by the weight of his throne, and by how much he's pleased by himself. subhana wa Taala. And by the number of his words, seeing this simple liquor which doesn't even take you 1015 seconds, gives you more reward than 234 hours of sitting there and making them the opportunity for reward is amazing. Doing things that we can do in the month of Ramadan. Visiting people who are sick, visiting people who want to take your

00:27:04--> 00:27:40

family has an amazing reward the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam whosoever visits their fellow Muslim, a larger region will keep them within the hillfort regenda. They said what is the headphone general messenger of Allah, He said it is in the trees of paradise. It's as if they plucking the fruits of gentlemen, simple actions that we can perform, that a large soldier has shown us that in the beauty of Islam, it's not just about the great actions that we should also be attempting to perform as much as we can. But don't let it be an opportunity or an excuse when you're busy when you're working. When for many hours during the day, you're preoccupied with other things that you

00:27:40--> 00:28:14

have to do. That is also part of your role as a husband or a mother or father, as your role as a Muslim that you're preoccupied with. Don't let it be an excuse to not also worship Allah subhana wa tada with those simple small deeds that you can perform. And the reward is amazing outside of Ramadan. And as we know, in the month of Ramadan, those rewards are multiplied male, large soda makers from amongst those people who use our time wisely and allow us to benefit and maximize our time.

Cambodia, Laos salatu salam ala rasulillah. Earlier he was talking to a woman who Allah who seldom at the Sleeman kathira Mbah the mazing nature of our religion, the beauty of our Sharia is something which Allah subhanaw taala has built in to our religion. And one of the amazing lessons that we learn from this month of Ramadan and it is perhaps the greatest lesson that we learn. It is the learner it is the lesson of submission, to submit to Allah subhana wa Tada. That is the most basic component of faith, the most basic component of our religion, and our worship and our duty to our Lord in Crete. Allah subhana wa tada is the duty of submission. And what submission means is that

00:29:21--> 00:30:00

when we hear that a large soldier has commanded us with something was prohibited us from something we submit willingly and we submit immediately when a large soldier speaks about the Prophet Ibrahim Ali Salam in the Quran, he describes in surah baqarah and he says, If God Allah hora boo Islam, Allah Islam to the mean, when Allah commanded him and he said to him submit, he said, immediately I submit to the Lord of all creation, and that is why man Allah describes him in the Quran, he says in the Ibrahim aterna Ibrahim, who was one man was like a nation. Why? Because the trials that he was given the tests that a la police before

00:30:00--> 00:30:41

Him, whole nations whole communities would fill those tests. But Ibrahim a single man would pass those tests. And that's why he's like the nation. Every single test that Allah mentions in the Quran that was placed before Ibrahim alayhi salam, he passed with flying colors, because he submitted when a lot commends him to leave his wife and child in the desert. he submits. When Allah commands him to go and to sacrifice his son with his own hand. he submits, when Alonzo and gentlemen is told by his people, his own parents, his own family, that is going to be thrown into the fire, because they don't like what is preaching, he submits to the will of Allah subhanho wa Taala. And that is Islam.

00:30:41--> 00:31:19

That is the lesson of Ramadan. So now that a large region has told us to fast 1718 hours, we wake up so early in the morning despite having worked despite having children despite having families and chores, and responsibilities, and then we stay awake till after midnight because we're in the masjid, praying Torah. That is a sign of our submission. We don't have any qualms we don't have any issues. We don't have any problems within our heart doing so it is a testament and a sign of our faith. And that's not only something that we have to do in Ramadan, but in every single aspect of the Sharia. That is the test of Eman how willing you are to submit to something that you hear from

00:31:19--> 00:31:52

Allah, or from his prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam. Finally, my dear brothers and sisters in Islam, as you know, this month of Ramadan is a month of charity in the month of giving it as a month of generosity and our profits on a low quality when seldom would be at his most generous in this month. And there are many causes vying for your attention. And all of them are worthy from our brothers and sisters in Palestine to our brothers and sisters in Syria and in Burma, and across the world. And even those brothers and sisters who are needy within our own community, but also from amongst those causes that is extremely important is your own question. And the need for you to

And there are large social shows His mercy upon us and our families. And our large origin makes it a month in which we achieve emancipation from the fire and salvation in this life and the next under a large social grants us our parents, our families, our children, all of our brothers and sisters, the highest ranks of gender, wrestlers, oh God makes easy for our brothers and sisters across the world, their affairs that a large soldier brings peace and stability to them that Allah subhanaw taala
