00:03:46--> 00:03:49

time. And that is the month of Ramadan.

00:03:50--> 00:03:55

The best of month, it has the best of nights

00:03:56--> 00:04:53

and the glorious days of cm. And in that month, there is one night that is better than 1000 month, not equal to but better and Allah knows only how much better it is, doesn't that visitor doesn't that month deserve that we prepare ourselves for it that we start getting ready because the month will come and he will leave and we have lived that hamdulillah so through so many Ramadan's that came and went, and we know how fast Subhanallah every month is one thing and the month of Ramadan passes so quickly and so fast, so we have to be prepared. We have to be prepared for that month. Allah subhanho wa Taala specified this month Shahara Ramadan and Lady Yun Zi Luffy Hill Quran who

00:04:53--> 00:04:59

then the nurse you obey United min alHuda word for con Shahidan income Shahara failure soon

00:05:00--> 00:05:51

This is the month that Allah subhanaw taala revealed the best gift to mankind. And that is the Quran Allah within the guidance of Allah subhanho wa Taala the photon that clarifies our way and guide us through life. And it is worthy for us to celebrate this month to celebrate every minute to celebrate every day to celebrate every night to celebrate our pm to celebrate our CM and not miss one beat and that month in sha Allah. So how do we prepare ourselves? What are the deeds of Ramadan that we need to prepare ourselves for? Of course the first day the first deed is clear is a CF Yeah, you're Latina Manu, coochie ballet como como come equity Valhalla the name in public home, la isla Contacta

00:05:51--> 00:06:40

con Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said in the Hadith, the authentic hadith man Samarra, Madonna Imana YT seven, a wolf, your Allahu Mata condemning them they, whoever fasted this month, believing in Allah believing in the revelation of Allah Subhana Allah to Allah, believing in the commandment of Allah subhanho wa Taala and seeking the reward from Allah disabled educating Allah subhanho wa Taala who fear Allah who met a condom in them there, that every single sin that that person has done up till that point is wiped out a clean slate, we ask Allah subhanaw taala and yup, Surah Gouverneur wedge pura Kathrada La ilaha illa who was Hannah, who in condemning of volley mean,

00:06:40--> 00:07:34

couldn't look no dama Hapa every single son of Adam is a sinner and all we hope for is for Allah subhanho wa Taala to forgive our sins, but the fasting brothers and sisters we have to prepare ourselves for not just the physical preparation for CME not just to get ready physically for fasting the days and standing up in prayer and night, we have to prepare our hearts for the CME because CME is multiple levels of cmo Alpha cotton I did. So yeah, I'm on call for Yamaha. Jawara CM will listen. And then we'll see I'm not sure what the CM is multi level practice. And it starts with the heart, the heart practices so yam practicing fasting, so yam means to avoid to abstain to hold back.

00:07:35--> 00:08:32

And the Siyam of the heart is to cleanse our heart from heparan. From Hassard. From piano from Kevin, is we have to cleanse our hearts from every possible affliction every disease of the heart that we are afflicted with Miss Lulu and Utah Hara Palutena or Bella Alameen. Of these are the diseases of envy. This is disease of Hazzard disease of, of jealousy, disease of hatred or animosity, enmity between the brothers and the sisters in Eman Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam told his Sahaba that Leila Takada was revealed to him. And he was about to go out and tell the companions and this OMA when it's exactly and then two people were fighting. Two people were

00:08:32--> 00:09:23

we're not we're avoiding each other two people were not speaking to each other. And Allah subhanho wa taala, lifted this knowledge, lifted this knowledge because of that, that is a lesson that in this month, we have to cleanse our heart and repair our relationship, we have to repair every and every broken tie. And starting with a crab wound starting with with with the with the people that are our kin, and then move on and on. Beyond that, we if we have a broken relationship, this is the time to repair it even before the month starts. So we can enter the month with cleanse heart with clean heart. And we have to also start understanding the fasting of LGR of our faculties of our

00:09:23--> 00:09:59

hearing of our vision of our tongue. And these are the most important things that we have to practice during that month. We have to let our tongue abstain from labor, from the Mima, from Kevin, that we have to cleanse our tongue from backbiting, from spreading bad news, bad evil things about our brothers and sisters that they don't want to be spread. We have to, you know, just just basically tie our tongue down and we need to continue that in this month. But

00:10:00--> 00:10:11

The preparation for that starts now starts now before the month so when we enter the month our tongues are cleansed from these evil deeds and from the evil words.

00:10:12--> 00:10:36

And also let our eyes and our hearing abstain from every haram starting now starting starting anytime before the month of Ramadan and continue that into the month of Ramadan. So we can practice our fasting completely on all levels, the way that ALLAH SubhanA wa Taala ordained that for us.

00:10:38--> 00:11:24

Another thing we need to prepare ourselves for is what to do, what are the things that we need to take advantage of during this month, the unique opportunities that Allah subhanaw taala sends in this month, Lila Hina for her to Fatah, radula Allah has seasons that Allah sends to our to us so we can expose ourselves to it and we can take advantage of it. I mean when when someone tells us that there is a sale and it's 90% off people would rush you'll see them standing in line all the way to the street trying to get advantage of it. This is a season this is the season of Missouri This is the season of Hassan ad and this is the season of Quran this is SHA Ramadan Allah the own Zilla V

00:11:24--> 00:12:16

Hill Quran. So we need to focus during this month specifically on the Quran on the revelation on the book of Allah subhanho wa taala. recited, understand it, learn as much as possible from it. This is the month that we need to absolutely dedicate every spare time that we have in our day to the book of Allah subhanho wa Taala it was the Sunnah of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam that Gibreel alayhi salam himself would come to Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam during the month of Ramadan every year, and he will review the entire book of Allah, the entire Quran with him at least once and in the final year of the life of the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. Jabril previewed

00:12:16--> 00:12:54

it twice. We need to do as much as possible, at least plan. Plan ahead. Make sure that every day you read at least one desert. Some people may finish the Quran in this month. Some people may finish it twice. Some people finish it three times some people finish it and the first 20 days and then another finish another hutzpah and the last 10 days it is all good. It is all higher. But Let our hearts be ready. Let's are let's make a schedule. Let's make a work schedule that we will adhere to to during that month to recite the book of Allah subhanho wa taala.

00:12:56--> 00:13:42

And other than just resuscitation we have to also remember that it's not about just our tongues, uttering the words and reading the words in the Quran. It is about Alanna Dubay it is about to implement Quran in our lives. When I shadowed one Allah Allah how Allah via said was asked, what was the what was the character of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam, how was he like? And she was asked that after he passed salatu salam ala she said kind of hula hula Quran. His character was all in the Quran. If you want to know the character of Your Beloved Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, read the Quran, read this Quran and know what's in it. And Allah subhanho wa Taala will guide you to the

00:13:42--> 00:14:08

character of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, we have to implement it in our lives, we have to believe in it. We have to entice our entire family to be dedicated to the Quran and during that month, and we ask Allah subhana wa Taala to help us and to be our aid for that month for that for that task, and it is the most important inshallah during this month after the obligation of cm and pm.

00:14:09--> 00:14:12

The other thing that we need to prepare ourselves for

00:14:13--> 00:14:16

for that month is October.

00:14:18--> 00:14:59

We all have sins brothers and sisters. We all couldn't have no Adam A Hapa, like we said, and this is the month of forgiveness. This is the month of acceptance. What better opportunity can we wait for so we have to review ourselves, review our deeds, but if you our actions, review how we get our risk and where we spend it. review every single act that we do what we say to people, and then make Toba make sincere Toba to Allah subhanho wa Taala Yeah, you're Latina and Manu tubo Illa Allah He told her to Nasu Ha, Allah subhanho wa Taala tells us

00:15:00--> 00:15:46

To return to Him, and Allah is is so happy when we return to Him. Allah is happy when we make Toba in Allah, Allah Allah fre habito Bettiah honeycomb like Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, just like a person who had his he was in the middle of the desert, had nothing in the world except what's on the on the camel that he has with him. And then all of a sudden the camel ran away and he couldn't see the camel anymore. It was certain death for that person, no water, no food in the middle of nowhere. And then he looks and looks and runs and he will not he doesn't see the camel and he gave up and he sits there just to waiting for death to come. And all of a sudden he sees that

00:15:46--> 00:16:34

camel coming right back to him. How happy that person is. How do you imagine the the joy and the happiness that that person will have when they when they see their their saving of his of their lives coming right to them. Allah is happier than that person as Rasul allah sallallahu wasallam when we returned to him, with Allah, hello honey, Allah does not need our tilbyr Allah does not need us to come back to him. Allah has opening the door and opening the arms of Allah subhanaw taala Elisa chemically che to receive us because He Allah Subhana Allah to Allah loves his a bed loves his servants so much. So let's take advantage of a Towba brothers and sister and it told her has to be

00:16:34--> 00:16:55

to to regret the deeds that we were doing before to recognize it, to regret it in our heart and to make an absolute vow to Allah Subhana Allah to Allah first and to ourselves that we will not return to it that we sincerely will not go back to the sins nests of Allah and your inner now Allah told that he or Bella Allah me.

00:16:56--> 00:17:00

Another thing we need to prepare ourselves for is a sadaqa.

00:17:01--> 00:17:46

We know that the deeds of from our bond are multiplied and accepted more than any other time of the year. And we have to budget for this month. Now I'm not saying don't donate and don't give before Ramadan couldn't go higher in sha Allah wa Kulu Bismillah him bulan and Allah is panna with Allah, it is all good and it's all accepted in sha Allah with Allah Subhana Allah to Allah if it came from a sincere heart and his sincere intention. But please let's budget in the month of Ramadan. Some of us may may get tired of fundraiser after fundraiser after fundraiser after fundraiser. But this is an opportunity after an opportunity after an opportunity after an opportunity that we all need to

00:17:46--> 00:18:35

need to take advantage of. So let's budget our heart and budget our wallet for this month and prepare ourselves to be generous during this month because Allah subhanho wa Taala opens the gates of Jannah during that month and we want to enter through it and closes the gates of hell of hellfire during that month and we want to stay away from that. And Rasool allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was described can Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam Edward doneness Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was the most generous of all people while can enjoy Dumay Hakuna fishery Ramadan, but he was most generous, most generous the peak of the peak of his generosity salatu wa salam ala

00:18:35--> 00:19:24

late in the month of Ramadan can Edward demeanor reveal more Salah he was more generous as he was described by the Sahaba then then the wind or the rain that comes to save the land. And it doesn't ask where you know it gives any gifts and it does not ask why and how it just continues to give and give. And that was the generosity of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam method Latina Hakuna Vita Villa de Sevilla you cannot tell you have gotten under that Sebastian Irby you can lead some bullet a mirror to harbor Allah who you'll die for Lima Yasha. We all know this verse that Allah subhanho wa Taala told us that those who spend their wealth, their money feed for the sake of Allah

00:19:24--> 00:19:59

subhanho wa Taala like one grain that gives rise to seven years of grain, and in every one there is 100 of them. So that's 700 folds, but then Allah subhanho wa Taala said, Well Allah who you buy for Lima ye SHA, Allah multiplies that that 700 times, many times and Allah knows how much for those who believe who he pleases Subhana wa Tala. This is this. What's coming is the month of multiplication. What's coming in the month of Baraka

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

What's coming is the month that Allah subhanaw taala put Baraka in our actions and in our donations and in our deeds. We ask Allah Subhana Allah to bless us with this month and to aid us to do the best that we can during this month. According to Holyhead stock for Allah Allah Emily welcome, Farah 1000 Mr Feeny.
