Ammar Alshukry – The Race is on – Compete in Ramadan

			hamdu lillah wa salatu salam ala Rasulillah Allah as we just says with regards to Paradise, a few
that ik affiliates and alpha cinematography soon in that let the competitors compete for that let
the competitors compete and right now we're in the month of Ramadan, we're in the month of fasting
and charity and, and pm and all of these really beautiful avenues to worship Allah azza wa jal
unless Harbottle de la and home when they would have these avenues they would compete. So you have
the famous story that everybody knows about the law and who the prophets of Allah Allah said to them
is its fundraising and Amara de la and her saying to himself, today's the day that I'm going to be
		

			Abu Bakr and so he brings half of his wealth, and the prophets of Allah sent him asked him what he
left behind for his family, and he says, I left behind half of my wealth, and then a workload the
law and who comes with everything and a worker isn't competing with anybody. And the Prophet
sallallahu Sallam asked him well, what what did you leave behind for your family? He says, I looked
behind the line His messenger and so I'm gonna rely on her at that moment concedes defeat that he's
never going to be a worker with well, the line when anything you have the one complaint that I've
come across, and this is really an amazing narration, the one complaint that was hobbled the law and
		

			whom the poor Sahaba they complained about the rich Sahaba is with regards to the charity that the
rich can give, but the poor can't give. They said to the province, Allah, Allah, they send them they
fast, like we fast and they pray, like we pray, we can do that. And we can fast like them, and we
can pray like them. Were equivalent in these acts of worship, but at the same time, they can worship
Allah azza wa jal, they can journey to Allah through an avenue through a lane through a track that
we don't have access to. And they're coming to the province of Alberta sentiment, they're
complaining about that. And just to really appreciate how amazing that that that feeling is, you
		

			know, when was the last time you were sitting in a fundraiser and you didn't have money and this
person is giving 505,000 And whatever amount they're giving, and you are sitting there fuming,
you're upset, you're hurt at the notion that you don't have the ability that people right now are
worshipping Allah azza wa jal, they are getting rewards in their account for something and you don't
have the ability to compete with them in that that is what the poor companions are complaining about
to the province of the lighthouse and and that is something that that transferred over to the next
generation the tablet in so you have someone like a Muslim and hola and who is narrated that he you
		

			know, he would pray pm anyone who's praying in the night, he would slap his thigh if he got drowsy.
He didn't have access to five hour energy drinks or anything like that yet a stick that he would
slap his thigh and he would wake himself up and then he would make a statement that you know, it
always gives me goosebumps he says Elon must have them hammered do the companions of Muhammad think
that they will have him exclusively in the Astra and yesterday it'll be doing do they think that
they will have him exclusively in the afternoon? No, by Allah, we are going to crowd them at the
pool Hatay Island what unknown Hala Fujairah we are going to be there so that they know that the
		

			ones who came behind them, the ones who came after them are men. Even amongst the prophets, you find
this notion of competition the Prophet sallallahu Sallam he says to the Ummah to xojo do dilute
marry women that are loving and produce many children. Why for in the McCarthy era become Roman
numeral cuyama. Because I want to boast the greatest number of followers on the Day of Judgment.
Musa it is said on when he meets the prophets, Allah Lyta send them on the day of the launch. Musa
alayhis salam weeps on the prophets, Allah light is in them departs and they asked him, Why are you
weeping? And he says, this young man was sent after me and more of his Omar wanting to enter
		

			paradise than my own money. Even a little further, you know, the ASVAB of the newsreel of the of the
verses of leaders of Qatar was the province of a lady said, I'm told the Sahaba of a man from the
omen that lived before us. And he worshipped Allah as he did for 1000 months. Every day he would go
out during the day when he would campaign in the path of Allah. And every night he would stand in
prayer, and so on this Hobbit of the law on him heard that story. They didn't just, you know, cool
story. They were saddened by that. Because this was a person from a previous OMA who was able to
worship Allah azza wa jal in a way that they wouldn't be able to because they simply we simply don't
		

			have those lifespans. You know, are the amount of the lifespan of Domo, the Prophet sallallahu
Sallam are between 60 and 70. And so we don't have who of us lives for 80 years, let alone to
worship Allah as we did for 80 years. And so as an accommodation for the short lifespans that we
have Allah as ADA says, Laila to artificial Allah so you're told us that we have one night that is
equal to the worship of 1000 months, this is all and from the beautiful competition and so we
learned in Ramadan that not just to do the best that I can, but to look at those who are better than
me, and to challenge myself to be better than them. Because this is this is the competition for
		

			Athleta. If you daddy company attend office and maternity soon, may Allah azza wa jal make us those
who compete during this month. The finish line is Jana. The race is on
