The Beloved brothers and sisters in Islam.

We just passed through the most precious and the most blessed part of the year, month of the year and that is the month of Ramadan.

And this month, is worth to stop and reflect. After we finish the

worship the pm will see

the Quran of this month to reflect back on on our deed on what has been achieved and what we gained out of the month of Ramadan. And what would be the proper

way

to give

our farewells to this great season. Allah subhanho wa Taala Allah sent to us every year.

Some of the adapt that Allah Subhana Allah told us when we finish

a great a bad

is to actually finish it.

With it's still far with asking Allah Subhana Allah to Allah for forgiveness.

We ask Allah Subhana Allah to Allah forgiveness, for our shortcomings, for our TaxSlayer for the things that we could have done better, but we did not do.

We ask Allah Subhana Allah to Allah forgiveness, because what we have done, is not worthy

of Allah Subhana Allah to Allah has

place in majesty. So Allah

We ask Allah Subhana Allah to Allah forgiveness because maybe during our fasting

we committed sins we slipped here and there

Abu Hurayrah

although the Allahu and narrated that the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said about the CM, a labor to direct Cassia when he still follow your apparel, that backbiting sometimes the talk that we may not pay much attention to burns the cm

on the CM that we worked hard for, it gets burned by words that we utter.

But then he said well he still follow your actor. Oh, and he can get patched by so far, by asking Allah's forgiveness. And then he said Turman, stata and yeah TBC I'm in maraca failure fine. So whomever can patch up, their CEM let them do that is the best to never go into riba but still far we don't know what we slipped through.

If we don't know what we have done, we don't know our shortcomings.

And that was the way of the Sahaba Ridwan, Allah, Allah him. They were more concerned

about the acceptance of their deeds when they do them.

Then doing the deeds itself because they were diligent, they were always keen on worshipping Allah Subhana Allah to Allah, but they had a seller for solidaridad Allah Allah Allah him. They had a special attention, special caring for the acceptance of the deed caboodle.

Allah says you tune in and I tell what, Allah, Allah praise those who do their good deeds and their hearts are trembling, their hearts are fearful that they might not be accepted. We should never take it for granted. That what we do

is accepted we ask we hope with ALLAH SubhanA wa Taala we always have ml and Raja with Allah Subhana Allah to Allah and Allah Subhana Allah to Allah in sha Allah will accept and Allah will accept from Saudi in Allah will accept from Alberta clean Allah will accept from Allah Holocene but we in our own hearts we should not take it for granted.

When we do the deeds, we should be aware and diligent. So our loss is at its highest level. So we do the deeds in the best way.

In Amaya to kabbalah hoomin and motor clean indeed Allah will accept from those who have Taqwa.

And then as we finish the month

Allah told us what to do. At the end of Ramadan.

Allah says wali to can really took me into wanting to cut bill Allah Allah Maha dalkom. While I didn't accomplish Quran, two things Allah said that you do at the end of this month, the crolla dimension of Allah subhanho wa Taala the remembrance of Allah during the month, our tongues, our hearts, were diligent, we were always mentioning Allah subhanho wa Taala day and night.

Our bodies were in the masjid our hearts were in the masajid

the Quran was on our tongue and then our ears all month long.

And then something gets turned off.

Allah says when you finish the counting of Ramadan when you finish that month, the two can be or Allah Allah Maha dotcom, that's why they eat starts with the tech beer. Start with Allah subhanho wa Taala

when Allah Quran, the Quran and then we give thanks we give hand we give gratitude to Allah subhanahu wa Tada. We thank him for making us Muslims. We thank him for giving our hearts though heed. We thank him for guiding us to fasting Ramadan. We thank him for pm Ramadan. We thank him for making us alive for giving us life into this Ramadan and we also pray that Allah subhanaw taala will give us life for many Ramadan to come in sha Allah so we continue to get better and improve our a better. While in Chicago, Tom says he didn't come Allah Subhana Allah says when you thank me, I wouldn't give you more. So you thank Allah Subhana Allah to Allah for this Ramadan, Allah will give

you more Ramadan's.

We have to show gratitude to Allah subhanho wa Taala for the gift of Ramadan for the gift of Riba in Ramadan for the gift that he allowed us to come here or other masajid to stand before Him in PM. To hear the Quran and recite the Quran during that month, too fast to observe that great a better than a great worship that ALLAH SubhanA wa Taala has.

This is Allah Subhana Allah to Allah bounty, this is his favor upon us.

We don't have favor upon Allah subhanaw taala that we observed the fast and we stood in PM, Allah Subhana Allah to Allah says in the Quran, Yamuna I like an Islam who let him know Allah Islam, Allah Who Yamuna Alikum and had their complete Islam.

They think and he ALLAH SubhanA speaking about some of them when FPN when we learn some of the Arab and he would say they think that they are doing you a favor that they are Muslims.

Allah

He has done them a favor by guiding them to Islam.

But Allah who you know I like him and her dad calmly Eman

for Iman Allah Subhana Allah to Allah for that So heed

that Allah subhanho wa Taala put in our heart and for that we thank Allah subhana wa Tada for that we give him hand and that's why we say Alhamdulillah he led he had another warmer canal in the Alola and Hidin Allah

so

we ask ourselves

at the end of this month

as we bid farewell

and long for the next one

did we benefit from Ramadan? The drama Bong

leave us with anything or do we just opened a page and we just closed the book and turn the page and moved on

to another month and and back to our routine.

The scholars,

Rahim Allah Allah, they play certain criteria and certain scales, where we each and every one of us can measure and see if we benefited from Ramadan

when he learned methanol Allah if you are training

for let's say a race

you have a scale you have a timer you know if you can either swim that distance or run that distance at a certain time, and then you at the end of the training you see if you improved

if you've gotten better

and so on and so forth.

But what are the scales of Ramadan? How do we know? How do we know for ourselves that we benefited that we have gotten better during the month of Ramadan that Ramadan elevated us that Ramadan lifted us up?

That we are at a different MACOM at a different station after Ramadan than we were before Ramadan?

Your Allah man said there's three different criteria, the three different scales and of course that is different opinion but these three different scales are easy to apply and easy to understand for each and every one of us.

The first one is the scale of Tober

the scale of repentance, the scale of coming back to Allah subhanho wa Taala what do they mean by that

each child of Adam each son and daughter of Adam each one of us have sins This is a fact Keba could be enormities while he has to be learners our Hola Hola, Sofia. Or it could be small sins, things that we have shortcomings things that we don't do well.

And Ramadan

is the season for Toba?

In Allahu Bucha wellbeing, Tata hurry. So in Ramadan

most of us have done things

and quit things and abandoned things that maybe we have done before Ramadan.

We have

things that we do there were shortcomings and we said we aren't going to try hard during those 30 days or 29 days from Oban not to do them. We're gonna abandon this. This vein talk we're gonna event bandhan wasting time. We're gonna abandon running our tongue for people's in about bulk by people they barely hear the biller

or I'm going to do better I'm going to do my Sunon I'm going to do daily Quran that I have not done for a while.

Whatever that is, we do better during that month each one of us have a higher level in Ramadan we all feel that

if that level of Tober

carries on to after Ramadan, then we have benefited from Ramadan.

If we returned right back to exactly what we were doing before Ramadan, then we have not benefited in that scale from the month of Ramadan.

That is one

of the scales that each one of us every Ramadan, we should improve and we should repent to Allah subhanho wa Taala and we should have sins that we will abandon forever before Allah subhana wa taala.

The second scale

is the one probably the most important skills of benefit during the month of Ramadan

and that is a scale that Allah subhanaw taala specified very clearly in IATA CIN and the verses of Siam in Surah Baqarah 183 when Allah says, Yo Yo Alladhina amanu

publikum la isla come that the Khun

are you who believe fasting of Ramadan of course fasting has been ordained has been been obligated upon you. Just like those who before you why? Lila gone? That Akun that you might achieve? Taqwa. Allah says that's the goal. That's the objective of your CRM is to have Taqwa is to increase your taqwa

is to go higher up in the taqwa before Allah subhanho wa taala. So the most important skill probably of Sudan if we benefited from cm

is Do I have more Taqwa? now than I did

before Ramadan?

Do I have more taco now in Chawan than I did in Shaban?

What is taqwa?

How do I measure that?

That

is measurable only by how our relationship with Allah Subhana Allah to Allah is like,

and how we look at ALLAH SubhanA wa tallas observation upon us. And every single act that we do

the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam when he wanted to define it, he said, and he pointed at his chest with both hands, he said at Taco Hoonah at Taco Hoonah at Taco Hoonah. That was right here. Taqwa is in the heart. No one can see your taqwa.

The core is not a garment that we what we put on. It's not a clothes that we wear. It's not something that we behavior that we put on.

It's the heart. It's an act of the heart.

And there are many definitions and details of what Taqwa is like. One of the most beautiful ones is how are you gonna be totally been robbed the Allah who defined it. He said a Taqwa.

He'll have fulminant jellies. While I'm a little bit Tenzin, we're Reba Bill Colleen, while he stated that will yell merhige. He said there are four things about Taqwa. If you're achieved, you have achieved Taqwa. First, and how phenomenal jelly fearing Allah subhanho wa Taala

the old majesty Subhanallah to have the fear of Allah. The essence of the word Dukkha is to shield Dukkha

to shield ourselves from the anger the wrath, and the punishment of Allah subhanho wa Taala by obeying Him

by observing every act we do before Allah

and how feminine jellied well I marry with Tenzin and to follow a 10 seed at Tenzin is two things, Quran was sunnah

to follow the book of Allah Subhana Allah to Allah and the Sunnah of his messenger Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam toquilla must atone Allah says in the Quran, it duckula farmer that as much as you can lie you can be for Allahu nevsun Allah Azza.

wa jal Bill cleave to have a state of content, the higher the state of satisfaction, pleasure with Allah subhanho wa taala. For whatever he has given us, as far as health as far as wealth, as far as children, as far as whatever, we are happy because that's what Allah subhanho wa Taala has chosen for us. That's what ALLAH SubhanA wa Taala has decided that that is good for us and we are pleased with ALLAH SubhanA which is choice. We are pleased with what Allah Subhana Allah Allah has gifted for us.

We are Abida river what is now be the syrup

Even if what we are giving is literally in our own eyes, but we are happy with it. That's part of taqwa,

Reba Labdoo Angra Bay

for renewable clean.

And the fourth one holy stare dad will yo mera haze. And

the person who have Taqwa is always prepared for departure.

The person who has stuck on their heart

always packed their bags of dunya and ready to leave

anytime.

Because this life

can end at any time Allah He brothers and sisters, no one knows.

No one knows what would happen.

And then he is aware of that fact. I will note that he has that fact in front of his eyes, or her eyes, day and night. That this prayer could be my last prayer. This Ramadan could be my last from Oban. This charity that I paid can be the last opportunity for me to be a charity. So that's when they do what they're doing. They do it diligently and sincerely, and they do it with enthusiasm and do it with Subhanallah was great love to Allah subhanahu wa that.

The final scale is the scale of is the Karma

is a stickler on the straight path is when we do all of that when we elevate our Taqwa when we repent to Allah subhanho wa Taala is to hold the study. And when Medina contoura Buddha Allah who through master karma, that we have to hold steady on that path, we have to continue to be on that to start on that path is one thing, but to actually hold steady and stay on that path is another thing that takes a special Eman that takes a special Aqeedah that takes a special diligent from the Muslim and it's the karma. That's why Allah subhanho wa Taala for those who have still karma will give them we'll give them a lot of pleasure. We'll give them a lot of support in this dunya at the time of

death and when they are resurrected. We ask Allah Subhana Allah to Allah to be of them in a Latina called Robin Allah who is so messed up that unnecessarily him will mela eager to alert a half wallet as well as she will bill Jannetty late he can turn to I don't know only yell can fill at dunya waffleh Hera wala configure Malatesta here and Phu Kham wala configure method down New Zealand means our food and Rahim Hakuna Matata smart own what stuck for Allah Hello Athena li Walakum Fayer fossa Mustafi

come forward inshallah.

hamdulillahi rabbil Alameen wa Salatu was Salam ala Muhammad wa ala alihi wa sahbihi Germain

your brothers and sisters I would leave you with a very short story of the Quran probably one of the shortest stories of the Quran but it's highly relevant, highly relevant to our month of Quran to our month of Ramadan.

It is a very important story and very critical story in Surah Kalar off and it's recited and it's narrated and only two is and that's the story of one of the Aruna ma of Benny surah, in whose name is not mentioned

that Allah subhanho wa Taala gave them in, gave him an M and gave him the book.

And in that story, Allah Subhana Allah Allah tells us

that we have to contemplate and ponder upon it. Allah Subhana Allah to Allah says, What do I know him? Neither Elijah, Tina who I attina tell them

recite all Mohamed Salah Allah Allah you wa sallam, the story the news of that person that we gave our area to Allah subhanaw taala gave them the book just like someone who has been given the Quran given there and this was a known to be an alum

unless the entertainer who I attina

So what happened? Allah says Finsler Herman ha

He shed it off. And the word was in Silla

in the Arabic to shed something off is just like when the Python the snake sheds off its skin.

And subhanAllah that is very descriptive of the state of that person. That's Allah, Allah Hill. Afia.

Because Allah gave him that aim, and that Quran and the knowledge and Allah gave him everything that a person need to be so high up, and so close to Allah subhanho wa taala. But he did not let it be deeper than skin deep. This was so easy for him to shed off. Why? Because it was not deep in his heart. No one can shed off something that is deep in the heart. But if it is only to the skin, if it's only superficial, then it's easy to take off. And that's what happened with this person. He was taking this knowledge but keeping it out there keeping it on the surface and not getting it in. Fen cela Herman ha

for sure. shaytaan HuFa Kenna Minagawa in and far he followed the shaytaan and he was one of the people who went astray while he as a biller.

Allah says well I'm shooting a lot of fat now who Bihar and if Allah wills he would be elevated with these act.

He had everything to be high to be an Allah I login to be close my neighbor Yin our shahada, he was sorry him.

But what he did did he choose? Well, I can now let the Elan erode

what Tibet hahaha, he decided to stay close to the Earth closed down to the odd this like that snake that stays down there on the bottom

and followed his own desires.

And then Allah gives an example of that person who follows the dunya who follows the the ornamentation the desires of this life. And he said for Mithuna who can tell

his example is like a rabbit, rabbit, breathless, restless dog. And this is a picture of the Sahaba the Arab knew very well of that dog, what kind of dog the Allah subhanaw taala is talking about in the Quran. That painting dog that can never get any rest, always breathless. Allah says in Tamil Allah He and has outed through Korea recoil health. If you try to push that dog away, and try to attack the dog just to keep him away from you. He's panting in his restless and even if you leave that dog away alone, that dog is continues to be continues to be restless and panting. That dog will never know any rest, will never be happy will never be satiated will never be satisfied. Because he

left a out Allah subhanho wa Taala he shed off the gift of Allah subhanho wa taala.

Then he can methodology Mr. Luke Comilla Tina, Tina, brothers and sisters, this is relevant because Allah subhanaw taala gave us gifts during the month of Ramadan. We have to ask ourselves, are we going to shed that off after Ramadan? Are we going to lose that behind after Ramadan? Or are we going to let that goes sink that deep inside of us when he could be unshakable when we will not be able to ever shed that off? We ask Allah Subhana Allah to Allah to keep the gifts of our Ramadan inside our hearts. Deep inside, we ask Allah subhanaw taala to keep the benefits of Ramadan in our hearts to keep the Quran that we recited And Ramadan not just on our tongues, but deep in our heart

to give us the understanding of the Quran to teach us more of his words and more of the wisdom and more of the Sunnah of Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, Allahu Malik Al hamdu Cameroonian Bellini Jelena Chico out the missile tonic Allahumma Habibie llena de manos a unifocal Lumina or Kara Helaine Akufo and for Sukkot alessian.
