			Today on this first Friday after the month of Ramadan, I know that many people feel the sadness many
people feel as though Ramadan is gone. And we left something absolutely amazing behind us. And many
of us feel as though the rewards that we got throughout the month of Ramadan cannot be achieved or
cannot be received from Allah subhanho wa Taala after the month of Ramadan.
		

			And this is where year after year, we remind ourselves and we remind each other that Allah subhanho
wa Taala, the Lord of Ramadan, the Lord of the month of Ramadan, the one who owns the blessings in
the mercy of Ramadan and who owns the forgiveness that we are granted, the one who owns all of the
higher and Baraka that we receive the goodness that we received in our lives. So the month of
Ramadan still remains. And Allah Subhana Allah to Allah continues to bless us throughout the entire
year. So the blessings and forgiveness of Ramadan don't only happen during that one month in the
year, they don't only happen on the last 10 nights or during the last 10 nights of Ramadan. They
		

			don't only happen in the odd nights of Ramadan, and they don't only happen during the night of Laila
to recover. We see that the profits on the longer I leave us seldom encourages us to continue in
doing good continue in seeking out hire. And Allah Subhana Allah tells us that in the end was your
eternal fear it never become.
		

			A loss of hand with Allah mentions in the Quran is what was said before right to compete with one
another, and to strive and to quickly rush towards the forgiveness of Allah subhanho wa Taala. And
so it's not something that ends after Ramadan ends. Ramadan as a month has ended the blessing guest
and the blessing month has ended but Allah Subhana Allah continues, and Allah has the ability to
forgive whenever he wants, and whoever he wants wherever he wants, however he wants. And so Allah
subhanho wa Taala continues and remains He always was and will always be now
		

			the prophets on the long run I think he was seldom taught us that whoever stands during the month of
Ramadan as in whoever brings Ramadan to life men comma Ramadan and Eamon de Silva with firm belief
in a Muslim Hannah who went to Anna submitting to a Muslim Hanoi to Allah and also hopeful for
rewards from Allah in their actions of Ramadan Littlefield, Allah will not to condemn him in dombey
that person will seek will receive forgiveness from Allah subhanho wa tanunda for all of the things
that they've passed in, that they've committed in their past. Now that's one aspect of it. The other
thing my brothers and sisters that we see is
		

			after the month of Ramadan, the Sahaba of the alumni, they became very sad that this blessed month
has left them and so the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam encouraged them to fast this six days
of show one man sauna, Ramadan, and some better who be sitting minchah well Kanika Solomon daddy
couldn't write it is as though the person has fasted the entire year, if they follow up the fast of
the month of Ramadan with six more days of fasting in the month of show what
		

			now, is it compulsory for us to fast throughout the month of Sha one? No, it isn't compulsory. Is it
something that is encouraged and highly encouraged or recommended? Yes, absolutely. Because of the
reward, there's a great reward, and especially those that are seeking rewards and those who feel you
know, maybe I fell short, maybe I could receive more maybe, you know, maybe I deserve more
blessings. Maybe there's a little bit more that I could have done throughout the month of Ramadan
and I just want to seek out more. We see my brothers and sisters
		

			That Allah subhanho wa Taala grants us so much blessing throughout the entire year. It's not only an
Amazon. And so those of us who missed the Ramadan, we can carry over the good deeds. But remember
those of us who only become close to Allah throughout the month of Ramadan, this is a reminder for
all of us. And this is something that most imams don't really focus on. They focus on Oh, you know
if people are sad, because I'm about ended, so there's something more for them to get. And that's
true. That's right, there is something more, there is the reward of fasting the entire year by
fasting six days of chawan. And we have a whole month to actually complete it, except for the first
		

			day which is the David read every other day throughout the month of show when a person can fast
seeking out that reward of having fasted the entire year. However, my brothers and sisters This is
also a reminder, those of us who become practicing are those of us who only start to pray during
Ramadan or those of us who only fast throughout the month of Ramadan or only do very bad. You know
what, there are many Muslims and they come and they say it right they say it their friends know it,
their family members know it, they say, you know, I only really come close to a lot during the month
of Ramadan. Throughout the Yes, the rest of the year. They're far from Islam, far from Allah subhana
		

			wa Tada. This is a reminder that we should not give up at the end of Ramadan. We shouldn't only be
practicing Muslims or good Muslims or devout Muslims throughout the month of Ramadan, we need to
continue doing that throughout the whole year. There are specific times like the six days of chawan
that we can fast and receive, you know, forgiveness from a loss of Hannah who went to Hana or the
day of Asheville at all right, you know, the 10th of Muharram. There are other days like fasting the
Dave out off for those who don't go for hedge which is coming up very soon, right, those who are not
going to be going for hedge and that's probably every single one of us this year, I must have
		

			handled it and it knows best. But you know, that is something that comes up as well. And so my
brothers and sisters, we have to keep in mind that our boss from head to Hana blesses us in so many
different ways on a Friday. This is a blessed day as well recite surah to calf and Allah will put
new in your week. And what that means is that you will, you will have natural goodness from Allah
subhanho wa Taala that comes into your week from week to week to week if we simply recite surah to
calf every single Friday. And that's something that we can easily achieve and easily do every single
morning after so lots of fudge on a Friday or maybe waking up a little bit early or after the Jamal
		

			you know lecture that we're listening to right now we can simply open up the floor and for 20
minutes 30 minutes if people recite slowly and recite sought out to a class and that's the end of it
right? It's so simple to do. It takes a small amount of time throughout the day. And in fact, when
you factor in the time that we're saving, going to the masjid on Juma on Friday coming back from the
masjid the drive that usually have either you're going from work to the masjid or going from home to
the masjid or you're going from work to the masjid and then back home afterwards because maybe you
take the rest of the day off the time that you would save on driving. Why not put that towards
		

			reciting sorta to the gods now, because we're not you know, actually driving to the masjid. So my
brothers and sisters
		

			take advantage of the fact that Allah subhanho wa Taala had all his remains and the fact that Allah
Subhana Allah His blessings will always be there. And the fact that Allah subhanho wa Taala is
looking for those who are going to continuously seek those rewards from him. Remember my brothers
and sisters that the month of Ramadan is a time to train ourselves. It's not just a time where we
turn to a loan or about that and that's the end of it. So we should be still praying an extra
minimum to Sunnah. After salata, Asia, for example, or a minimum of two, you know, America in the
middle of the night sometime, maybe before fudge. For those of us who were not punctual with our son
		

			of budget, remember that the reward of praying those two sooner before it's fallen to the budget,
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam teaches us that those two would occur sooner is better than
this whole world and all that it contains, right? Better than the entire world and all that it
contains. So, so have a look. If we felt that in Ramadan, we were able to pray those two signals,
then maybe we should start with continuing that throughout the rest of the year. Those of us who
started to pray Our prayers throughout the month of Ramadan, regular prayers, try to continue that
throughout the rest of the year. Because that's important for us. It's compulsory, just as fasting
		

			was compulsory. Also, praying our prayers five times a day, especially on time is important to my
brothers and sisters throughout the month of Ramadan also.
		

			Now, throughout the rest of the year, also not just throughout the month of Ramadan. Now, the fact
that we were able to train ourselves into a typical routine in the month of Ramadan means that we
should be able to carry on some of those
		

			didn't remember at the beginning of the month of Ramadan, I always remind every single one of us the
importance of identifying something that will be good for us to carry forward throughout the rest of
the year. So identify certain actions in Ramadan that you were able to do on a regular basis and
carry it forward for the next 11 months. And this is the time to actually do that. One of the
simplest things that we did, my brothers and sisters was fasting. And I know it's not simple. I'll
be totally honest with you. Fasting is not my thing. Some people love fasting, and they feel really,
you know, at ease with fasting, they can eat one meal a day, and they maybe typically do eat one
		

			meal a day. And that's it. But for others, like myself, I don't prefer fasting. Fasting is not
something that I find to be, you know, very easy for me or something that I enjoy so much, right? I
love food. I might not show that I eat so much food, but I love food, I love the flavors, and so on
and so forth. And so my brothers and sisters, we need to be people that carry certain things
forward. And I was doing a little bit of math this morning. I don't have a calculator in front of
me, and my pen is right here. But it was doing a little bit of math this morning. And I was thinking
to myself, let's see if some of you are able to do this. You can read it in the chat. And I see that
		

			a lot of you are asking questions, but this isn't really the time or the platform to be asking
questions. It's Friday, right? We're giving a little bit of a Friday message. So here we go. If
someone was to fast, every,
		

			every single week, Mondays and Thursdays, okay, Mondays and Thursdays that means two days, every
week, how many weeks or in a year.
		

			Let's see if you're paying attention how many weeks are in a year, type it in in the comments
section see who is paying attention during this drama lecture. How many weeks are in the year and
remember it is permissible to respond to the email even in the in the masjid during the hoop of Juma
has the Imam asks, it is permissible to respond very good 52 hamdulillah we have some people that
are paying attention. One of them is called Samsung Galaxy Shama. Alright, so two times 52. Okay, so
two days, every single week, Mondays and Thursdays is soon not too fast. And if we multiply that by
52, that equals How much? Four, two times two is four, and two times five is 100. That's 104 days of
		

			the year. Okay, now, let's subtract eight from that, because eight of those are being fasted during
the month of Ramadan. So that brings us to 9696 days of fasting throughout the year, divide that by
		

			30, right 30 days in a in a month, that gives us three months, and six days, three months,
		

			and six days.
		

			Plus
		

			one month, which means four months, and six days
		

			of the year, a Muslim can easily fast, which means it is easy to fast for one third of the year,
what is the best type of fasting my brothers and sisters, the best type of fasting the profits on
the longer, Elihu SLM teaches us is the fasting of deleeuw, Allah, his son and prophet dealt with
his setup. And he would fast one day and eat the next day, fast one day and eat the next day, which
means
		

			if we were to fast during the month of Ramadan, and then fast every Monday and Thursday, right, and
then let's just say we add six days, six days of show, while for example, right, we could do that.
But let's not get too picky and technical. Technically, here, what we're doing is if we're simply
fasting in Ramadan, and then fasting every Monday and Thursday, what we find is that we would be
fasting one third of the year, four months, and six days of the whole year, we would be fasting.
Now, when you think of that, anyone who says Oh, fasting, the fast food is like impossible to do.
Technically, if we were to fast, the three middle days of the month as well. So three days every
		

			single month, right, the 14th 15th and 16th of every single month of 13 1415 of every single month.
That means three times 12 is what 36, that's an extra month 36 plus four months, that's five months,
and 12 days.
		

			Add the day of actual add the day of alpha and so on and so forth. It would be easy for every single
Muslim to fast half of the year. If we were to simply fast the three days aim and build in the
middle of every single Islamic month, and Mondays and Thursdays and the month of Ramadan. We would
all be able to fast six months of the year or five months of the year, we should say, right, five
months, five and a half months. Do you see how easy it is? How much blessings and rewards and when
you think of it you're like wow, what's fascinating
		

			Two days a week. It's not that hard, technically, especially in the winter months, right, we can get
away with it really easily. So what loss of habitat is blessing? The reason why I'm showing you
this, my brothers and sisters, some of us think that I you know what, it's too hard. How is anyone
logically it's like impossible to think of someone fasting every other day.
		

			The technically what we see my brothers and sisters is that it is possible for us to get the rewards
of fasting for half of the year by simply following a simple formula fast throughout the month of
Ramadan, fast every Mondays and Thursdays which was the son of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam, and fast the middle days of every single Islamic month, and we will get a total of five,
what five months and I don't remember the number is now five months in 12 days, right? So five and a
half months of fasting throughout the whole year. Think of the reward, think of those gates of Orion
that are open for those that Allah Subhana Allah will allow to enter into paradise from those gates.
		

			And that reward is so easily attainable my brothers and sisters because the prophets on the one hand
he was selling them teaches us that the best of deeds are those that are done consistent
consistently, even if they're small. The best deeds are those that are done consistently. A Duomo,
ha what income as the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam says, and so my brothers and sisters, when
we think of little rewards, or little actions, little deeds that we can do that have such a great
reward. Sometimes we don't realize the amount of Baraka that Allah subhanho wa Taala puts in our
lives and I know people will start doing the math and saying, Well, you know what, some of the
		

			middle days of the month are going to overlap on a Monday, they're going to overlap on a on a
Thursday, that's fine. The point is there is that we are trying to do something that is extra for
the sake of Allah subhana wa tada that we never did in the past. And so those of us that want to try
and do this, especially in the months that are you know, the winter months that are the days are
shorter, my brothers and sisters, it's so easy to actually do that. So we see here that Allah
subhana wa Baraka is put into so many different areas of our lives, we just need to take advantage
of it. To conclude my brothers and sisters, I want to remind every single one of us first of all,
		

			that this month of Ramadan that attended Allah was a very, very beneficial month for every single
one of us not only in terms of rewards, but we do need to thank every single one of our community
members or our brothers and sisters around the world who have contributed towards our mustard. I
will get the final amount in the details soon from the accountant in sha Allah to Allah and let you
know how much we were able to raise throughout this month of Ramadan.
		

			I haven't been given the final number yet inshallah. But maybe next Friday in sha Allah I'll have
that. So my brothers and sisters, I do need to remind every single one of us first of all, just Kuma
level height on May Allah Subhana which added bless you and your family for your contributions
towards the masjid for the sake of Allah subhana wa tanunda not for anyone else, not for anything
else but solely for the sake of Allah subhanho wa Taala that's the first thing. Secondly, my
brothers and sisters, you know, this month of Ramadan was absolutely amazing in terms of it being
something still filled with blessings, despite not being able to congregate as a community. So we
		

			have to remember to continue to make dua out to a bus of Han with Allah to allow us to return to the
mustard to allow us to congregate. I remember in the drive thru, we had a drive thru, you know,
		

			gift sharing at the masjid on the day of read.
		

			And so many people came in and I tried to you know, try to speak or give them or greet every single
one of the families that came into the parking lot and left or as they were leaving, and hamdulillah
that was a blessing. And I do need to thank every single one of you from my family to yours
Jazakallah level halen or even Mubarak to every single one of you. And may Allah subhanho wa Taala
accept all of your efforts. But it was amazing to see people with tears in their eyes, because they
missed the mustard. And I'll share this with one of you one of the brothers told me he says every
single Friday at the time that I typically would leave and go for Juma. He says he still goes and
		

			drives up to the masjid pulls into the parking lots and then turns around and goes out. Another
brother told me he still goes to the masjid and just you know, send Allah and send them upon the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam when he's there because it reminds him It's Friday and that's
something that's good to do. And he continued that up right hit continue going on the route to the
mustard and then returning from it on the Friday and hamdulillah that's something that's amazing. So
community members are still you know, seeking nearness to Allah subhanho wa Taala by trying to still
find that connection with the masjid in whatever way shape or form that they're capable of doing.
		

			But still, my brothers and sisters remember that it's a Friday and every single Friday is a time
that we usually raise some funds to keep up the maintenance of the masjid. So please do remember to
contribute towards them.
		

			mustered today. And every single Friday, you know, let's try to contribute a little bit, myself and
everyone included towards our Masjid here in Milton, those who are asking about the website, you
remember it very clearly. Alhamdulillah Aigner milton.com, right, we'll pop it up right here in
front of you on Facebook and Instagram, Facebook and YouTube, on Instagram, you can type it in over
there, I'm not going to do any fundraising of hamdulillah. You know, we did that during Ramadan. And
we pushed really hard and we want to be very thankful to every single one of the community members
who contributed. But Lastly, I do want to remind us that the programs at the masjid are ongoing. So
		

			for example, next week, we will continue our Friday night program from next Friday in Charlotte,
Canada, we also do have the, you know, put on classes, those of you who are attending the classes or
your children, were attending the classes with Chef with Eva, or the other teachers, please do, you
know, email them and find out the updates with regards to that I'm sure that emails are sent out
already. Also our youth program if you go to our website, so please do go to the mustard website not
only to donate, but to stay updated with what's happening. So on June 13, until July 26, we are
resuming our way ama sessions. This is a special summer semester that is taking place online, we
		

			figured we would launch another semester, we typically don't run a semester in the summer. So we're
doing it this year from June 13 until July 26. So it's going to be starting in two weeks in shot
Montana, myself and brother Ahmed Hussain will be teaching the class it is it is titled then and

So when he talks about, for example, Spain and the Muslims in that region of the world, I'll talk
		

			about it and also show pictures of my travels to some of these parts of the world and certain
regions of the world that we are going to talk about from the then and then now and learn about how
the Muslims are in the current situation in those worlds in those countries around the world right
now as well. So this is open to family members, primarily to youth, right, we say boys and girls
between grades seven and 12. So it's geared at that age range. And we are not charging per student,
we're actually going to be charging per household. So if you have one child, or five children who
are within that age range, it doesn't matter. We are going to be charging per household. You know,
		

			if your parents want to sit with their children and listen in as well, that's fine. But we always
