What go away, Evelyn?
Get
his
till
and
that when Allah
loves a person,
Allah grants him understanding of deen.
And Allah grants that individual
this inclination for this world,
And Allah grants that individual
a keen recognition
of his own shortcomings.
This is exactly
the key of Ramadan.
That the Muslim doesn't change for Ramadan.
A Muslim changes himself or herself
for life.
As Allah makes mention in the Quran, all
believers
respond to Allah
and the Rasul of Allah,
to that which gonna bring life to the
dead heart, that sick heart,
that heart that is void of Allah.
Come back to Allah.
Don't drown yourself in this love of this
world.
Come back to Allah
and the Rasul of Allah.
That's gonna bring life to that heart of
yours
because ultimately know
that Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, you and your heart
is a barrier
that Allah wants.
Allah wants that heart of yours. So Ramadan
calls for us to fix this heart.
Ramadan calls our hearts to guidance, to noor,
to humility,
to a heart that is satisfied
with his Allah. He's at peace with the
Quran. He's at peace with the Nur of
Iman.
Therefore, ibn Raha, Rajab Al Hanbali,
He says,
When you live for Allah,
you will enjoy a sweet life.
On the other hand,
whoever lives for yourself and only your desires,
you will see in your life
potholes
like a reckless life.
Because ultimately
Allah wants you to come back to Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
Therefore one person wrote so beautifully
Ramadan in the English
words, Ramadan,
r a m a d a n.
Ramadan
are remember,
a Allah,
in morning,
afternoon,
day and night. SubhanAllah.
And the Emeralds are terms here
and the Arabi is a term here. Ramada.
Ramadan, the root letters, Ramadan, but put taken
ultimately
to come closer to Allah,
but to cleanse his heart
of all the sicknesses
and the sins thereof.
Because Allah gives an excuse for us as
college of taqwa.
Allah wants us to be this environment of
masjid.
Like a fish.
Feels lekker when it is in the pond
or in the sea. Likewise,
Allah wants us to be in the environment
of Ibadah.
Therefore,
the Ulamah explained to us
that Iman and Taqwa is so important
because Allah makes reference in the Quran.
If people of community can bring Iman and
Taqwa in their lives.
We will open up for them blessings
of the heavens and the earth.
So, yeah, Allah is showing us.
When we are fasting, we are fasting
We are fasting with that faith in Allah
and are hoping for whatever Allah is going
to give us of the rewards they
Ramadan and we're standing in taraweeq at that
time. We are making that sacrifice
because we go to work a day or
we are studying at college.
And now we are putting in an extra
hour and a half or two for the
pleasure of Allah.
What is Allah going to give us in
return?
That is why Ramadan is known as the
college of Taqwa.
Because what can you what can you achieve
with Ramadan?
Your salah's became become
timely salah.
Try to make every salah of yours on
time.
You start engaging in tilaawat of Quran, also
a sign of taqwa.
Timeless salah,
Tilawat of Quran.
You engage in the Dhikr of Allah, the
Tasbeeh of Allah.
You engage, you think about tawba, you make
2 rakas. Tawba to Allah. You ask you
for forgiveness.
When you enter the masjid, you engage in
tahiyya
to masjid
because your logging is tazkiya to nufus.
I want to grid
my heart of all impurities. I want tazkiya.
I want pureness of heart.
You stand up for tahajjud
because you are waking up for sukhoor.
So you stand up a little bit early
to make 2 rakats of tahajjud,
and you put complete your trust in Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
But Imam Khazali,
he adds more things to the
where he says, true fasting is when you
start to talk less.
When you start to talk less, that is
a sign of real taqwa.
And when you see that yourself every taraweeq,
you do not skip a taraweeq
because you want the maximum
benefit from the barakat of this month of
Ramadan.
Therefore,
it is said, Rasool Islam said,
If you do not give up any kind
of
ugly speeches in Ramadan,
That Allah is not in need of you
staying away from food and drink. In other
words, Allah is not in need of your
fast
because you're not going you're not making that
extra effort yourself.
How to control the tongue of yours? In
other words, Imam Khazali says, let your mouth
fast.
And what is that? Train the tongue too
fast.
Because when Imam Khazali,
Rahmatullah,
look into the words of Rasulullah,
where the Raslav said every day
before sunrise,
your limbs reminds the tongue fear Allah.
Your limbs reminds the tongue fear
If you speak nice, the limbs itself responds
nicely for the day.
And if you are crooked,
the whole body feels paralyzed.
Train the eyes too fast.
Train the tongue too fast.
Train the mind to fast. Let every limb
of your fast.
It reminds me of that day when Bilal
was engaged in a optional fasting, a nafal
fasting.
And it was Rasool Sazerah's habit to never
eat alone.
When he saw Bilal,
he said, oh, Bilal, come and sit with
me and eat something.
And Bilal said,
Carry on.
And Rasulam said, Bilal.
And he then uttered out all Rasulullah of
Allah in this.
And fasting today, optional fast.
Rasulullah was so happy with that he's fasting.
Rasulullah told him,
Do you know
that while you're at the state even of
not all optional fasting,
your body limbs, your parts of your body
is
glorifying
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
So imagine
if that is optional fasting,
what are we doing to this body of
ours?
SubhanAllah.
Whilst we are giving it also a break
for the entire day,
And we are engaged in Ibadah, recitation of
the Quran, dhikrullah.
What does that do to the body? SubhanAllah.
Therefore, Allah says in Surah Zumr.
Oh my devoted slaves,
it is ultimately me that you ought to
bring taqwa for.
When you engage yourself in the taqwa,
timely salah, tilawat Quran,
then what happens?
You will be disinclined
to anything that is reminding you of other
than Allah.
You'll be slowly disinclined towards that.
And what will happen?
You Abu Duha, you will not want to
worship the small gods.
Instead you will be surrounded only with Allah
and the nur of Allah.
That Basharat comes your way. Glad tidings comes
your way.
Because the prophet said,
The
true fasting the true essence of fasting
is not just to stay away from food
and drink.
But true fasting is when you stay away
from idle talks.
True fasting is when you stay away from
offensive talks.
As Rasool Islam said, rather be alone
than to be in a bad group
and be in good company.
Company of Allah,
company of zikrullah,
company of Quran,
company of good talks,
then also to be alone.
My dear friends, in Islam,
Quran mentions clear to us
after greatness of salah,
waladinaum
anillahuwimu'aridoon.
A true believer is that you always shuns
vain talks.
Allah
Allah
directly
and
You fasted only for my sake.
You fasted only for the love and the
pleasure of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
What is your reward? Say Allah.
I am your rewards.
Imagine
that Allah is saying, I am your rewards.
You have left your food
and your drinking
and your desires.
Only for me,
I am your reward.
A zoo. They can't say the back.
Allah. Allah
becomes your reward.
Allah becomes your eyes by which you see.
Allah becomes the ears by which you hear.
Allah becomes your limbs by which you move.
Allah becomes your thoughts by which you think.
And then when you lift up your heads
and communicate to Allah,
you will see Allah answering
every dua of yours.
When you are asking Allah for protection,
you will see Allah backs you up because
when you become Allah's,
Allah surely becomes yours. Therefore, it is said
that the fasting person
is like
angels
that don't eat and drink.
Their sustenance is Ibadah.
You start enjoying. You start to understand
the verse where Allah says,
I have only created man and jinn
to be subservient
to Allah, to submit to Allah, to be
an Ibadah of Allah, and thus you feel
in the month of Ramadan.
Therefore it is said,
How well you spend as a believer the
month of Ramadan.
The whole year can go well with you
in the similar way of the acts of
also individual
Quran.
And near the Muslim Ummah in South Africa.
And all they want for from us
is to continue out to us, especially when
breaking your fast.
For the liberation
of Aqsa Al Mu
Barak.
But we have to speak about them
because
we see things unfolding
and it's going from bad to worse. The
worst that you have ever ever ever witnessed
in your entire life. This is what we
are seeing there on the ground.
He said that Gaza
is experiencing
what is said to be
the greatest
starvation
in human history.
Can you imagine that?
Just for your information,
this morning,
2 countries
throw down containers
of food
because there's no way to enter through the
grounds.
These people are vulnerable.
Just picture for one moment as I talk
further, I'll come back to the point.
Containers remind me forget the containers.
What comes to my mind, we started to
fast. How much days?
4 days. 4 days we fasted now.
Those people has been fasting for 4 months.
Those people don't know what is sukhoor,
a morning breakfast.
They don't know what is iftar.
They don't know what's a real juicy date.
They don't know what it is.
For this 4 months,
In the week I saw
a clip you must have seen. It touched
me.
That the mother,
they're receiving
dry rooty.
Dry rooty.
She's putting into her mouth. She's thanking Allah.
She says for weeks, she haven't tasted
that. They bought some Egypt and some other
country
humanitarian aid.
That thing just fell down.
People are
because survival, they're all running.
They are running because
there's something for them.
As they are running,
the footage is showing
a horror bomb
come down
on that containers
and whoever was around it to pieces.
Have a heart.
Pause and reflect.
Then I see young children.
This will be video of young children
running with a carrier.
Bags of rice that is now in Habas.
They are taking amidst the
the sand, the hot sand, and the rice
coralty strike the rice,
putting it into their carrier bags. Perhaps that's
gonna be there. They're only survivor wherever they
find themselves.
Prayer by your touching my brothers.
Those people are in dire needs.
As I told you few weeks ago already,
it hurts my heart.
The complete silence of the Muslim world.
But what hurts it even more?
Imagine the borders of Egypt.
Egypt.
That's supposed to be Muslim,
but it's plastic. It's not
genuine Islam. Plastic sellouts.
So what happens?
One Arab
and his family
has already donated
since the start so much of humanitarian
help. Trucks and trucks and trucks, he doesn't
want to be named because it's only for
the sake of
Allah. But he says his cry that he
had to mention it for the world to
open their eyes.
The trucks is standing there. The guy that
can just open up the gate.
Muslim guy of Egypt, he say he wants
I'm under correction. It's
500
US dollars per truck to come through. I'd
say, Bakshi.
Dya say,
where's the heart for the people that innocent
civilians that is dying
there
in Palestine, in Gaza.
Sellouts.
Greed has become
the there's no more humanitarian
humanity.
There's no more that that the help of
saving lives.
At what state we are living in in
Jerusalem.
So Israel,
they're using food
as a lethal weapon
against Palestinians.
In other words, the whole of Gaza
is under
starvation.
Hunger is killing
Gaza, mal under under nourished malnutrition,
thirst.
Just because
other because
Humanitarians
for different
reasons.
I'll sit by the border deal. I refuse
other containers
that because
us.
We know is
known very it's it's gone viral.
The flower massacre.
The flower massacre is where civilians get it
for food to arrive.
And as they're taking those flower,
a 103 was killed.
700 injured.
Oh, starvation.
Intentional
starvation
on
some Palestine.
This is
intentional starvation.
While I'm talking now here,
they are gonna send
ships to Gaza shores
to sail
whoever of Gaza
wants to. There's the ships for you. There's
food for you. There's clothing for you. There's
shelter for you. And you gotta be go
send it to some Arab lands or wherever.
Your freedom is there. Go.
This white man is writing and saying, please
don't jump into that ship.
Don't jump into that ship.
Is it the time like when Moses was
in front of the sea
and is looking back and his people are
saying, Moses
And it has said Allah's
The last straw of those people of Gaza,
that Allah's with us.
I don't think whoever
was bombed into pieces
and has lost their lives as families, as
brothers, as children, as innocent ones,
Don't think they are dead.
They
are by Allah.
They are hanging by the throne of Allah's
arsh.
They are rejoicing that they have attained martyrdom
because they stood up for Aqsa.
They stood up for
for deen. They stood up for Haq, for
justice,
And Allah loves justice.
What we went through in our apartment
is just
So the whole Arab and Muslim nations can't
provide even bread for Gaza children.
Was starved by Israel to death. 17,000
children torn from their parents.
Oh Allah, this 10 days of Ramadan, the
first 10 days is known as the days
of your mercy.
And as one of your prophets said, oh
most merciful Allah,
I'm going through so much of difficulties and
hardships,
and you are most merciful.
And Allah then answered his plea.
May Allah
answer the plea of our people of Palestine
and Gaza.
Can there be any greater evil than the
massacre starving people
collecting food for their dying children?
Can there be any massacre
greater than that?
You, oh, Israel,
you caged them. You starved them. You bombed
them. You blamed them.
What God chosen
chosen are you?
You are actually God's chosen psychopaths.
Cycle
And as the ummah, we support a one
state solution.
And that one state should be Palestine.
The terrorist Israeli armies open fire from tanks
and drones while receiving humanitarian
aid in Northern Gaza.
And the Israeli military,
they leave bombs that look like canned meat.
Imagine,
they dug as black as bunches,
And they had to look for it because
it's vulnerable
survival.
But as they like
black
as
bombs, but for y'all explode explode if we
ever surrounded us.
Thousands of children in military prisons,
they are sentenced for what?
They are sentenced for throwing stones at the
soldiers
who scare them daily with guns.
My dear friends in Islam,
therefore, get a reminder for me and you.
We all go through phases of life, stages
of life.
Also, Amal
acknowledges also
of the
to advance for
you. But this is to upgrade
the of the recharge a veteran, etcetera.
Likewise, may bruise Islam
My dear friends in Islam, your your series,
your Netflix, your sports, your computer games, your
car racing, your chilling,
So that actor, so that one side may
bruise.
Hundreds of matches has been bombed to rubble,
but it touches us to see
despite the conditions,
those Palestinians
come still together,
and they make a way amidst the trouble.
Because I realize
Allah saw all this because
and if Allah saw all this had Allah's
divine
help
come. They bruised eyes.
Also swack because of the levers to lack.
October.
The Palestinian cause.
And Bruce was all set.
But the
that. But the numbers
because odds the Palestinians
can't come and.
The youngsters
electric
computerized
that detector
detector
for
life.
If you want taqwa,
if you want to upgrade and nurture your
iman,
make an intention to come to the masjid.
Sit in the environment of the Masjid.
Start to reflect
and ponder
and ask Allah, you Allah,
forgive me for my shortcomings.
I acknowledge I am weak, but I want
to remedy my life. This could be your
chance.
This could be your chance for the doors
of Jannah opening, for the doors of Jannah
putting your name there because you do not
know if you're gonna get another Ramadan.
