			at what he
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:10
			said of Allah.
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:22
			My dear respected elders and brothers Alhamdulillah with the grace of the Almighty Allah subhanho wa
Taala. We are on the last Juma of this Ramadan.
		
00:01:23 --> 00:02:10
			And there is no doubt whatsoever in the minds of many people that this is a man that went very, very
quickly. Some weeks before we were on the threshold of Ramadan. And we were thinking that how it
will go and how we will cope, how we will manage how Allah will make it play out for us. But Allah
tala has been so kind that the month has gone very well. By and large, we have had a month of mercy,
a month of blessings a month in which people have tried the utmost to comply with the commands of
Allah subhanho wa Taala and embolized minima local abode koshish Allah tala Kurosaki. Allah tala is
Judo, Jihad conda tala kabu Karim. Allah in the Holy Quran has made mentioned a Yama module that
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:53
			Allah has made this month for a short period of time. Now many times people have this whole
situation. When they come towards the end of Ramadan. They will mahtim carnage. You know, it is a
time of mourning. The month has come now Mubarak month is going away. But this is not an aspect of
mourning. Allah has designed this month to be for this period of time. Remember what I'm saying
Allah has designed this month to be for this period of time. Allah Allah k hickmott a. k Ramazan,
Sylph, eight Martinez, Pura, Salma, Allah Allah
		
00:02:54 --> 00:03:48
			Allah tala did not keep our fasting month to be so short, that we do not feel some difficulty. Step
we can take the lessons of Ramadan and that Allah Do not come near Raka K to na was may or may not
good chapter Jihad naka napery or Hama Krishna put Saba castle No, it not come near catalana is
Monaco, or Allah tala scriptless Yaga llama Nibbana tatami Malabo, and Allah did not keep it so long
that we cannot bury it become too tedious. No, no, Allah has kept Ramadan in such a way that it is
not so short, that we don't find some difficulty. We don't bear the lessons Elias kept it at the
right time, at the right type of length. And a lot didn't keep it so long. Like you know, many
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:52
			people who say Ramazan could be the entire 12 months we wouldn't have been able to manage.
		
00:03:53 --> 00:04:40
			We don't make that wish, because Allah Allah didn't wish it. So the first thing that we have to do
is to thank Allah that Allah gave us this opportunity. And it is a month towards the end. When we do
have eat, it is a day of happiness. So we show happiness that Allah gave us Ramadan, so don't have
this particular type of attitude, that it is a time of mourning. It's not it's a time of celebrating
and a time of happiness, that Allah at least gave us this opportunity to be able to witness and we
make dua that Allah subhanho wa Taala accepts it. That's the first point that I would like to make.
The second point is many times we know that there is ama ama is one thing. And a Boolean of ama is
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:59
			another thing ama he is *, or this ama aka Boolean research is. One is you have ama but having
the Amal doesn't guarantee acceptance. This is a very important point. You can have great amount of
power you can have great amount of deeds
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:22
			But it does not guarantee acceptance and that is a reason why towards the end when we come towards
the end of anything we seek Allah tala to help and to honor that Allah must accept sometimes the
Amal can be tremendous sometimes you see in history Allah has made mentioned in the name of the Holy
Quran. What lolly

			Tina, Tina fansler familia have

00:05:36 --> 00:06:32
			whatever our fermata lu comma salary caliber, Allah Allah says read in the Holy Quran and give the
example of that person whom Allah had favored. And he followed shaytan he became Allah tala uses the
word for Masanobu commissary. He's example is like a dog example of a dog. And who was it? Well, I'm
being bahara 300 years he made a budget of Allah. And then towards the end of his life, he became
tempted by the corruption and by the money that people have given him, any he with his own words
started cursing mousseline, salatu salam, Allah tala made him and changed him that his tongue became
big, you know, lolled around like that of a dog after 300 years of ibaadat and Allah subhanho wa
		
00:06:32 --> 00:07:08
			Taala gives his example and said he is like a dog for medicinal chemistry. After 300 years of
divided in the Hadith, in Bukhari Sharif, there is one chapter that is known by the Fulani shahidan,
the chapter is entitled, don't call a person shahida until you know whether or not Allah has
accepted or not. The chapter is entitled blah, blah, you calphalon shadid don't call a person
Shaheed. And in there there is an intern of his model. This man Johanna, hold on aboard. Both
gentlemen, Cecilia Delaney sharpish, I
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:24
			showed so much bravery. Then the people came to me and said you're a celebrity no one was more brave
than his man. No one was more brave than his man. He outdid everyone in the in the better sepsis era

			sub says euro dollar water or Nivea cream sauce Lim, Nikita this man.
		
00:07:34 --> 00:08:18
			His man is in gentlemen. And people looked at said What is the reason? I'm saying? And then once
Having said that, I was wondering why didn't Muslim say this? And he said I went after this man. And
he was fighting. And then when he became wounded, you know, he became wounded. He could not bear the
pain of his wound. So he started slitting his wrists to commit suicide. So I told him his man, you
know, why are you doing this? You had shown such bravery for the sake of the dean. And what it is
man turned around and said he said metal Dean Kelly a cobbler rotta I was worth fighting for Dean. I
was fighting to show how brave my tribe is. Metal stlr hataoka Yeti cow kitchen Mr. Joe Kabila have

			a delicacy rasa
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:58
			jagtar Satya Nadella? How brave is my tribe. That's the reason why I am fighting. And he slipped his
wrist and he died in that way. That is why we don't know for others. Whether or not Allah accept or
not. We have expectations. We have hope. That is why Ibrahim alayhi salatu salam, when he finished
and he built the Kaaba and the beta Allah, Allah has made mention of that particular situation when
he had built the tower. And Allah has made mention of his do i do is that you and I, we continue
reading till the Day of Tiamat where is the euro for Ebola Ebola?
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:13
			At what is smile? And recall the time when the primary Salatu was salam, the Kaaba, right. And he
left it up the construction of the Kaaba, and he and his son his smile, and after they completed
made dua.
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:47
			Oh Allah help us. And voila, you you accept from us. Because you are all seeing all hearing.
Sometimes you wonder, sometimes you wonder if there was anyone in this earth that could have
claimed, who could have claimed instead of a law you have to accept for me if there was anyone in
this dunya who could have said what law you have to accept from me. Look at what I had done. You
told me to leave my
		
00:09:48 --> 00:10:00
			place of my birth. I left it You told me to leave my second place of birth which was in canal in
Palestine. And you told me to come to my time Aqaba that time it was a pure desert.
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:35
			There was no vegetation. There was no food. There was no water. I did et Allah. You told me there
after. Leave my one small son. Leave my wife there there is no water. Oh Allah I did it. I will now
you came after what you told me slaughter my son. I was prepared to do that. Y'all know you have to
accept if anyone in the world could have laid claim to acceptance by guarantee it could have been
Ibrahim alayhi salatu salam, but even that great human being when he is making dua after all of that
trials and efforts, he's saying we're a banana company
		
00:10:37 --> 00:11:15
			except for me, what does it show us? Where is our pride with regard to the little liberty that we
make? Therefore this aspect that we do not know? Whether or not Allah will accept or not, is
supposed to create in US humility, not pride after all of this all of Ramadan we don't show pride.
We say well now we beg of you you acceptance yes we have done whatever we put we try to do but we
don't have any guarantee Allah after all, you are the ones who accept and Allah tala has made this
clear in the most beautiful passage in Surah najem who are moving
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:17
			from Manila
		
00:11:18 --> 00:11:27
			to Martina to phoebo Tony mahato Oh human being he knows you Allah tala sub Papa sub k bar ma pata
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:54
			paradissa Pepe, Allah tala puja or janta Allah tala janta. Up apne. Market pig metal with antimagic.
Multiple, Allah knows up for your conception. Allah knows you when you are scattered into the earth.
Allah knows you when you are in the womb of your mother. Allah knows you for that was a coup and
fusa come don't praise yourself up Natalia Medan who
		
00:11:56 --> 00:12:35
			he knows who he is. So the second thing My dear respective brothers, we all una whatever little
effort we have made. We do not know whether Allah will accept whether Allah subhanho wa Taala will
reject many times we feel Allah the month of Ramadan had come such a month of blessing. We didn't do
sufficiently the little that we had done was not sufficient and worth your presenting in your case.
And in your court. Allah you accept it. So this is the second thing is we make dua for Allah tala to
accept. And we don't show any arrogance with regard to what we had done no pride, because of the
fact that we don't know whether Allah will accept or not, it creates humility in us. The third thing
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:47
			is because of this aspect that we don't know whether Allah will accept or not, our entire ibadah and
our entire attitude towards the end of anything is unimaginable hope
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:54
			that we end off between hope and fear. This is the way it
		
00:12:55 --> 00:13:18
			is said that the one who has both these attitudes, fearing Allah and having hope inshallah he will
be saved the Via corinthos in one day, so a person he was, you know, on that particular time he was
on his deathbed and let me occur himself Some ask how do you find yourself? What is your attitude?
He said, Yes.
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:59
			I feel a fool about my sins, but I'm hoping for less mercy. Maybe Kareem Solomon said these two
attitudes never gather in a person but Allah tala gives him safety from what he is fearful for. And
Allah tala gives him what he expects. We end off any deed in any aspect as we come towards the end
of Ramadan. We do so with these years. One is a fear that Oh Allah, we didn't do sufficiently
whatever we had done was stingy with a lot of insincerity. It was stingy with not doing the proper
way. Allah you forgive us Allah, but we also have also have hope. Islam they have maybe a year but I
		
00:14:02 --> 00:14:11
			am Allah Allah said, or Allah tala, Samira. dosa milker chillin to inshallah immediately Allah
subhanho wa Taala
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:53
			karenga inshallah, and this is not something that we have this hope, after all, whatever people have
done, why have they done it? Sometimes we make a joke, you know, we make a joke with regard to some
of the some of the girls and the woman in our community. We also say, you know, doop doop without
the brook who say she got she got the Duke but you got no Brooke but but why did she wear the Duke?
She wasn't because of Allah subhanho wa Taala Why did she win it? That also was for the sake of
Allah subhanho wa Taala. What do we know that Allah tala will accept that there are people here who
sometimes who are young, we have not been fasting was not for us, but they get fast. There are
		
00:14:53 --> 00:14:59
			people and we hear that there are places in the world where people at Camp Rosa for 1920 hours
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:23
			After all, what did they use it for? They did it for the sake of Allah Allah. So why we are afraid
we also have expectation. And in this regard I always like to quote this incident of Dr. Abdullah
Rafi Rahmatullah Lee, who was a halifa of Manila tanura to lolly and move to Texas up on his
obituary had written this incident. He said a person one day came to Dr. Avila sobre la, and he said
him to
		
00:15:24 --> 00:15:24
			Mr.
		
00:15:26 --> 00:15:32
			Nakamura, he Allah subhanho wa Taala hamari coochie coo coo coo nickering hamana
		
00:15:33 --> 00:16:12
			hamana must be beta hamara somos de Amoeba beta. So he came to tell Dr. palesa everything what we do
is all useless. We have not done anything correctly. Our numbers is not right. Our salad was not
right. Our CRM was not right. It was so weak it's not worth your presenting before love to duck
septilin tk comes over to her ligonier kanakia Baker McKenna kitara don't say it is useless. It is
weak. It is not worth your presenting before Allah don't say it is we for whatever kathira give us
here to Baker Baker to Dr. Sapna Kaga nahi bakery to marry sister Sammy sister.
		
00:16:14 --> 00:16:18
			If it is so useless makes it there in front of me to hope they're here.
		
00:16:23 --> 00:16:23
			But
		
00:16:26 --> 00:16:38
			is it How can we make sense in front of anyone we only makes it in front of Allah tala. To set. The
fact that you only make sister in front of Allah tells you that that sister is valuable. Her sister
to sit
		
00:16:39 --> 00:16:39
			next
		
00:16:41 --> 00:16:41
			to you.
		
00:16:44 --> 00:17:20
			The fact that you can do it in front of anyone shows that it is valuable. So whoever has done
something with your respective brothers in the month of Ramadan, why did we stay away from food? Why
did we get up in the early hours of the morning? Why did we make that away after it was something
for the sake of Allah tala. And while we don't have evidence with regard to it, we don't have pride
with regard to it. We have expectation that insha Allah Allah would accept it inshallah. So that is
the third thing is our ibaadat and our n is between Badal Sophie Raja. And then in conclusion, I
would just like to make mention of another important point to see
		
00:17:21 --> 00:17:44
			our Allah have made mentioned there are two types of ibaadat doc is simply about a barrage harassing
or indirect, one is direct and one is indirect. Direct is what you and I know. No direct is namaz,
zakaat, etc, all of that is directly about it. We do it solely for the sake of Allah, Allah has
commanded it, it's a direct divided,
		
00:17:45 --> 00:17:58
			then there are other activities, which are not a bad word in its own sense. In its own sense, it's
not about it, but it can become a bar that was correct
		
00:17:59 --> 00:18:27
			terminology, method, methodology and neot right. So many of the mundane activities of our life, like
for example, our worldly activities, we opening up our business, we go and eat, we go and drink
water for the sake of survival. All of these are activities, which are mundane activities will
perahera separate me, Nick and others say need cassata to get
		
00:18:29 --> 00:19:21
			justice on a risky hierarchy talaash. Now, that particular aspect of indirectly but it becomes
reported, if our intention is correct, and the methodology is correct, but that indirectly bad, it
can be camouflaged, it is something that is very tricky. up his near to do concora what intention
are you opening your business? What intention are you doing business? Are you doing it because the
commander of Allah which will make it a budget or are you doing it just to increase my wealth? What
are you doing? That particular indirectly but it is very, very tricky. It can be bothered it can be
Willie motors. Now, the fact of the matter Allah Allah has made us human beings, that we cannot make
		
00:19:21 --> 00:19:26
			direct deposit all the time. soap is granted when a mama's man naomasa
		
00:19:29 --> 00:19:44
			yarraman we can be in a car for 11 months, we can be in salad all the time, we can be by the 24
hours. Now the allameh have made mentioned and listen to this point as we go towards the end of
Ramadan a very important point.
		
00:19:45 --> 00:19:47
			This indirectly bothered
		
00:19:48 --> 00:19:55
			to make it the proper pattern that our risca halaal becomes for the sake of Allah that it becomes.
		
00:19:57 --> 00:19:59
			Our eating comes for the sake of Allah that it becomes an
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:33
			But for that, because it is can be camouflaged, because it can be other motives, the direct ibaadat
that we have done in Ramadan recharges our battery and after recharging our battery, it helps us
after gaining the momentum after gaining the Baraka from our directory, but the dead directly but
then helps us make our intentions for right forward in the indirect divider to become really bad.
		
00:20:34 --> 00:20:52
			So all what we have done in Ramadan, now we have built that particular type of dedication and
loyalty to Allah. So that now when we come out of Ramadan, and by the very nature of human being, we
are not going to be in 24 hours in a bar that in the in the masjid and in Salah. Now those mundane
activities, who spoke as a manager,
		
00:20:54 --> 00:21:34
			that directly butter that you learn from from the salad, from your seeker to tilawat it helps you
heart. Now when you go and do your mundane activities, inshallah your intention must be correct. I'm
doing it for the sake of Allah subhana wa Tada. And in that we did his department, and Allah
Mohammed mentioned, at least the karma to folk alpha carotene, and steadfastness indeed, after
Ramadan, it is even more greater than 1000 miracles is the comet indeed is both greater than 1000
miracles. So with these few themes, which I've made mention of today, Vijay respectable is a Yama
module that Allah has kept Ramadan to be for a certain period of time. Let us celebrate that we
		
00:21:34 --> 00:22:16
			don't want that. The second thing is fear with regard to peculiar and how do we gain in we asked
Allah tala spell and grace with regard to acceptance. The third thing is below Hope you are Raja.
Our attitude is now at this particular time between the fear of Allah and hope in the mercy of Allah
subhanaw taala. And the fourth thing I made mentioned, between the example of direct and indirect
how do we draw from our directory but to be able to help our motivation and our intention and our
sincerity in our day to day life that will happen more frequently after Ramadan than what it is in
Ramadan. May Allah Allah give us a topic of understanding and making Amel just a small important
		
00:22:16 --> 00:22:34
			point is also the aspect of setup or to the fitter that we have to comply with it is wajib for us to
give sericata before the fudger of Eden, whomsoever has not been able to be have not been able to
give please to give it the posters have been posted with regard to the amount
		
00:22:36 --> 00:22:58
			and with regard to the motivation, brothers are kindly requested to keep that in mind. Even
inshallah today after Juma they would be a collection with regard to the center to Repertory
Theater, please see that we comply with it also before that it's Allah May Allah subhanho wa Taala
accept all our efforts in in the month of Ramadan. May Allah give us many more Ramadan's inshallah,
so that we can always benefit from the Ramadan the mercy of Almighty Allah subhanho wa Taala
