Ebrahim Bham – Seeking the objectives of Ramadhaan

			hamdulillah
		

			Alhamdulillah wa Salatu was Salam ala Mala V Avada
		

			a Mavado for Villa humulus shaytani R rajim Bismillahi Rahmani Raheem. Xiang, Ramadan and muddy
wounds Rafi the Quran, Quran Linas mineral Buddha recon, settler colonialism. My dear respected
brothers and elders. We begin by praising Almighty Allah subhanho wa Taala and sending salutations
upon our beloved Nebia Kareem sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, we are approaching the month of Ramadan.
And there are many objectives which Allah subhanho wa Taala and our beloved Maria Karim sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam has mentioned about Ramadan. In today's talk, as I like to enumerate my points
because of the attention deficit odor that we have in today's time, we don't have much
		

			concentration. So I'm going to say Inshallah, today, amongst the objectives mentioned in the Holy
Quran and the Hadith of Maria Karim sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, I will present three important
objectives that we should try and pursue in the month of Ramadan. The first of which is, Allah
subhanahu, wa Taala has made us an amalgamation of both body and spirit. Both we have to fulfill our
material needs and our spiritual needs, we have two needs, we have our physical needs, and we have
our spiritual needs. The sad part and the tragedy is today, you and I, we have only given preference
and priority. And it's only regarded our material and physical needs, as the be all and the end all
		

			of our existence. And we feel that that is the only thing that we have to fulfill, we have no added
responsibility. And this is a gross mistake. And, and, and today, together with our material needs
and our physical needs, we have to fulfill our spiritual needs. And today, one of the tragedies is
that our material and physical needs in our physical desires, they've been given so much of
importance, we have been so much enticed towards it, whether it be through the means of advertising,
everything is calling you toward the fulfillment of your desires, and the fulfillment of your
physical needs, obey your thirst, just do it. All of that has got a subtle message. Just fulfill
		

			your desires fulfill your material needs, your physical needs, there is nothing else that matters.
But the reality of the situation is just as we have to fulfill our physical and material needs,
within the confines of Sharia, which Allah has told us, that will allow you for either the acquiring
of others to fulfill your needs, is a religious obligation. But beyond that, there is another
obligation. Beyond that, these are the need that we have to fulfill, in the very same Hadith, which
we got to speak about the fulfillment of our material needs. That same idea tells us sellable
halali, for either to battle for either the acquiring of other risks, these are religious
		

			responsibility, battle for either after your primary religious obligation, and what is that the
fulfillment of your spiritual needs, and spirituality is not nourished is not fulfilled, by material
things well, it is to do with the heart. And the heart is the center of the fulfillment of our
spiritual needs.
		

			And that heart that is why our happiness, the fulfillment of our spirituality, the fulfillment of
our spiritual needs, it's got to do with the heart, happiness, contentment, satisfaction,
spirituality has got to do with the heart. We have never ever heard anyone saying that. You know, my
ears are happy today. Oh, my nose is very satisfied and very pleasurable today, why it is good not
to do with the physical organs. It's got to do with the heart, even our happiness, which today
everyone strives for, is got to do with the heart is a little bit of a humorous incident. Let me
briefly make mention of it. They say a king became depressed. So the Hakeem that was treating him
		

			say, very easy that you can come to, you know, cure him is let him wear that Porter of someone who
is very happy. Let him wear the photo of someone that is very happy, and immediately he will be
cured. So the aches and the courtiers of the king. They said, Well, this is a very easy task. Let us
look at it. We'll try and work towards it. They went to all the ministers, the people who are close
to the
		

			He said, Give us one of your quarters. Why? The Hakeem had said that the king was really someone
very happy, and he will be good. You see, we got that doesn't have Kuta we are not happy.
		

			You can as much as you want to take, but we are not happy. So they increase the search every way
they went. Everyone had the same situation where we put enough quarters, but we're not fully happy.
Everyone could challenges. So eventually they went out towards the village. One day they saw a
person who was you know, taking a bath on the streams on the river. And he was like, you know,
laughing and he was very happy. He gave every reason to feel that he was happy. And he said, here we
found the person. So they went to him and said, Give us one quarter of yours, you will become very
wealthy, you know, their quota, we will give it to the king, the king will reward you. She said why
		

			do you need it? He said this is the reason he said they want the quota of someone who was very
happy. He said I'm very happy. But I got no quarter.
		

			Everyone who had put there was not happy, the person who was happy no could you see the happiness is
to do with the heart. Whether spirituality has got to do with our turning towards Almighty Allah,
chakra Ramadan, Allah the wounds Illa feel Quran. Ramadan is the month in which the Quran was
revealed, telling us increase your Taluka with the kalam of Almighty Allah subhanho wa Taala
quotevalet camassia even fasting which is in Ramadan, Allah Allah says I have made it compulsory
upon you.
		

			That you turn towards Almighty Allah, you gain the fulfillment and you gain the recognition of
Almighty Allah subhanaw taala. For others, this is such an important part of our life. If we do not
fulfill the spiritual needs, these are vacuum in our life. That vacuum manifests itself in various
ways. My own view, that many times people that go into drug addiction is because they feel that
there is a vacuum in our life and we are fulfilling it with something that gives us pleasure,
something that gives us some sort of added dimension in our life, not realizing that that vacuum
that you are seeking to fulfill. That vacuum that you are seeking to fulfill was supposed to be
		

			filled. In what in remembering your Creator. Allah, you think Rila heated indoor guru says Allah in
the Holy Quran. You know the word Allah is a very amazing word in the Arabic language, Allah. It is
like someone telling you listen to me, I'm telling you something very important. Allah is telling us
in the Holy Quran, Allah Allah be very careful. I am warning you, I am emphasizing upon you. Only in
the remembrance of Allah will find contentment.
		

			Only in the remembrance of Allah Tala will not find contentment, peace, satisfaction, contentment,
of real happiness, real contentment or only coming out of Almighty Allah. If you neglect the
remembrance of Allah, Wallah, he you will never gain through happiness, through contentment through
satisfaction. And I asked you the question, that how can you gain happiness? How can you gain
satisfaction? When you disobey the creator of happiness? How can you gain satisfaction when you
disobey the creator of satisfaction and happiness? Therefore, Allah subhanho wa Taala warns us from
an arahant decree for inner humare chatons Anka says the lions in surah Taha we ever turns away from
		

			remembering Allah, I will make his life restricted.
		

			Allah wants us if you don't remember Allah subhanho wa Taala you will find there will be a
restricted life. There will be no fulfillment, no contentment, no happiness, and even your needs,
your even your material needs will not be fulfilled. Because sometimes you're gonna be getting sauce
limited Lisa
		

			will end up in prosperity and wealth is not to do with the amount of wealth that you got, but it's
got to do with the heart.
		

			And if you're not remembering Allah subhanho wa Taala you will not find this Ramadan is the month
for us to turn towards Almighty Allah to fulfill the spiritual needs level maths we gave priority
		

			to our material needs let for once in a month of Ramadan, put everything on the backburner, turn
towards Almighty Allah read Quran, the mixture of Almighty Allah subhanaw taala make with the Quran
make it our try to understand the proper meaning of the Holy Quran. You know people today I said he
said I saw people making such divided in Ramadan. If it is not that I saw it myself, perhaps I would
not have believed it. I will give you one example I saw with my own eyes. I sent a Ramadan once was
a very pious person, you know, Shah Abdulaziz and I put it in Pakistan once. It was widely assumed
that he made one of the Quran a day and I saw it myself. He used to start after he shut up
		

			He used to sit because of his knees and he used to sit and make the out of the Holy Quran in the
field numbers. It used to see him leading like this. From Mishra till before the world he used to be
in the field numbers. And before the world he used to tell me used to lie down and tell someone read
Quran while I'm you know, sleeping, so you should sleep a little while before Afters already saw
numbers start again with nothingness from Zaha Kalasa I saw it with my own eyes. I not see we can do
that much. But Allah has emerged irrespective of his turn towards Almighty Allah subhanaw taala in
the month of Ramadan, fully strengthened our relationship with Allah. The first thing, the second
		

			objective, the second goal.
		

			Also meet mentioned in the hadith of Nebia. Kareem saw Selim, maybe occur himself some said who was
shot.
		

			It is a month of kindness and compassion. For others kindness and compassion has such great
		

			emphasis in our Sharia in Allah.
		

			Allah loves those who are caring. Maybe I can install some tool Ayesha Ayesha er could work o
Alikum, bereft go and adopt kindness. Because in Allah Rafiq, you Hippogriff, when you came in a
lift Mother, your terminal. Allah Allah loves kindness, and he gives for kindness, that which he
does not give for harshness, maybe a cream sauce, Solomon said in a hadith, what are these maybe a
cream sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said is that whenever Allah subhanahu wa taala loves a household,
in Allah that hamper Beatty, whenever Allah loves our household at the Hala Hala hemolymph He brings
kindness into the home. Whenever you want to know whether Allah loves you or not. See how you are
		

			communicating with the people in the house. If you are communicating with kindness and compassion,
no it is a sign that Allah Muhammad is appointed house. But if in that house people are shouting at
one another, they are harsh with one another. They are not showing compassion to one another. They
know that Allah Tala has Ramadan mercy is away from the dose.
		

			That is how do we gain kindness and compassion. The one thing that I always tell people is very
difficult to gain kindness and compassion when you are eating three square meals a day.
		

			That's the reality why we can gain compassion. And you all heard about the French Revolution. When
the French Revolution started in the people who in the hierarchy, they were told that the people are
protesting because they're hungry. They don't have bread. So what is the hierarchy in the monarchy?
Tell them if you don't have bread, tell them to an intake.
		

			They couldn't understand if people were hungry, then forget kick. They didn't have nothing to
fulfill their hunger because they were separated. When we are having three full meals a day, where
are we going to gain compassion and kindness.
		

			And there is a reason why we don't have compassion and kindness towards people. I mean today look at
the situation in the world. In the age of mass media, 30,000 people are killed in the world can do
nothing and sit in silence.
		

			It is a it is a clear indication that we have no care and compassion in our
		

			ways that kindness and compassion to turn towards people to look at the difficulty to understand the
difficulty to come to the assistance. This was a hallmark of our faith. Maybe I can even say Allahu
alayhi wa sallam has made mention of it so much that you turned towards in the vehicle himself from
one day to people, it is compulsory for you to give silicone every joint of your body you have a
Salah we don't have the wealth Sahaba
		

			himself who said I'm not saying that you must only give wealth, just be kind and compassionate.
Sometimes helping a person instead of taking a person across the road who is only Seneca and if you
can't do that, oh my Sahaba smile at your next Muslim brother. Smile at your next Muslim brother.
		

			Be careful of the sisters Anyway, what I'm saying is spreading to next Muslim brother. And Allah
Allah says in that is also a set of every good word that
		

			we do in the kindness and compassion to come to the system. And we were kind of the ultimate one
incident come to mine every day after fajr Uber currently allowed us to go to one play particular
place, even while he was asleep. So over the allotted one day save me go in ways Omar was overcome
by Khalifa going went to our outskirts of the city and went and saw him entering the house of
someone now more of the Allahu trimas Curiosity also became you know arouse what exactly is
happening here. So after why we went to the house and said, you know, find out found out is a blind
woman, she could not take care of our own needs. The Khalifa used to come every morning sweeper
		

			house that time You never used to get you know water. He used to make arrangement with regard to the
water and keep everything for her with regard to her needs and go away and one of the
		

			Last time we started saying, who could have left such be accepted difficulty for the people at
legacy for people to follow you afterwards? After Abu Bakr Radi Allahu Turmel passed away. The
narrations make mention one aspect of the narration says the Kumara via Lacan went away and help and
assist them. He said the way our worker used to go and help and assist them, let me go in helping a
sister.
		

			And when he when they're, you know, he wants to put whatever he could. He left some dates. And they
turn
		

			what they put to the person who used to talk before and O'Meara Villatoro used to think she's a
blind woman, what does she know who is fulfilling her needs? Whether it is Abu Bakr, Omar, what what
difference does it make? And she said
		

			when he left the dates, he took out the boots
		

			when he left the date, it took out the books and he left it in such a way that could be easier for
me to to where is our kindness and compassion to be able to come to the assistance of other people
and that'd be a courage to ask them said who was showering was it is a month of kindness and
compassion brothers let us build our kindness and compassion which unfortunately we know more hand
and then maybe occurring saucer said who was shot was server. And the third reason and the third
goal that we could work towards achieving in the month of Ramadan.
		

			Maybe a cream sauce and I'm saying who are shadow server
		

			was someone who thought Jana, it is a month of patient and the reward of patience is Jana. Now today
you and I when we look at patients from our indo Pakistan background, many of us are there not
everyone, we look at somebody in a very restricted and confined way. So for us, somebody is
		

			someone does us something bad, who makes up a recording someone slaps you on one cheek to give the
other cheek or to to hate for you to slip. That's not the right concept. I'm just giving you our
understanding of southern or you face any difficulty that comes upon you. You are supposed to make
someone now in the Arabic language and from the Sheree terminology summary is much more vast. It is
a quality that encompasses the two things that I've made mentioned. Yes makes about a foreign
difficulty that comes upon you makes about a phone the inconvenience that come upon you from other
people what spirit Allah says Allah Tala makes them out upon what the people are telling you and
		

			abusing you is also part of seven, but it is much more of us than that. It encompasses it
encompasses resoluteness it encompasses perseverance was starting to come out with me
		

			before sefaz upon what Allah subhanho wa Taala is compiled, commanded you. It encompasses
callousness, courage, self control, all of that is part of Southern maybe let me just give you the
root word of Sabah. The word Sabbath comes from the Arabic word sebab sebab is the aloe vera tree.
The LM aloe vera tree grows in the desert and it grows in very harsh terrain in harsh circumstances
and environment. Most of the time, the environment in the desert is there is no water, there is
drought there is there is it. And despite all of that, the aloe vera tree grows in such an
environment. And it still provides of course the aloe vera is used for healing properties. Despite
		

			growing in such harsh terrain, harsh circumstances harsh environment, the aloe vera tree still
thrives and prospers and still gives its healing properties despite the circumstances and the harsh
terrain in which it grows. That our Allama say is the meaning of southern despite the circumstances,
despite the situation in the challenges are more men and a believer remains steadfast upon the
commands of Allah Tala. No matter what happens.
		

			Zephyr RB Wascana Jan Yaga qua hookey kitna hysa heavy farmers aka Babu says affirm the last Mughal
Empire was a very a man of letters. So one of his poems he read, don't regard Zephyr as a human
being. She said Aisha Jada Khurana Rahim. She said to me Jose Padana. Who doesn't remember Allah in
times of ease and doesn't fear Allah in His anger? What does it mean? A believer is always conscious
of Allah, irrespective of the circumstances. He is persevere him upon every aspect of the commands
of Allah despite the challenges. For them. I have written that someone who has three manifestation
server upon difficulties, which is a very popular meaning of server and I won't have the time to go
		

			into the reward with regard to that, although we always be
		

			dua everyone must make this dua maybe a cream sauce from told his uncle Abbas, who Abbas always ask
Allah for Lafayette ask Allah for Afia ease and well being don't ask Allah for difficulty. So we
never ask Allah for difficulty but when one point of Saba is somewhat awkward difficulty, you know,
second thing when I'm I have written sub adata Atilla
		

			server and discipline in complying with the commands of Allah subhanaw taala. So you have to comply
this Bible Bukhari, maybe occuring sosman has made mention of the reward of making was doing a poll
morning. Similarly with regard to the discipline required in Ramadan with regard to good deeds, that
is also the suburb of the UK, the symbol of discipline to do that. And the last one is suburb and
Marcia Tila, the seventh, the self control required to save yourself from prohibitions and haram.
When you are seeing haram or doing haram. It requires self control to stay away from it. So you see
a woman who catches your fancy and is attractive, and you feel like looking at her. It is some of
		

			that self control that makes you cast your gaze down and said No, Allah in the Quran says, Woman in
your booth woman up sorry, tell unto the believers that they must cast the gaze down whenever there
is a fitna.
		

			So that is a three aspects and the Vietnamese also have said that this particular aspect is some of
the verb will Jana this one is a month of summer and the reward of summer is Jana that we conclude
with a hadith that maybe a Kareem Salah Julio Salman said, you know the Monica comes to Allah
subhanho wa taala. They say well now, how do we record the reward of a person who is fasting, the
person reads to raucous numbers, he reads have to para we can record it read two records that have
so far your person is doing nothing. How do we record his deeds? He's staying away from things he's
not doing something? How do we record it? This is where the Hadith comes in. That Allah Allah tells
		

			a melodica Oh, my angels, you can't record it.
		

			Uh, so booty. Fasting is for me.
		

			Only I know that difficulty of the person went through fasting is only one good deed that is no
reality is no name and fame in it.
		

			You can go eat in one corner of the household. There is only one good deed that there is no pride,
and that is possible. Therefore the tele sales of Elijah don't record it. It's for me, I myself was
recording
		

			and that is the seventh, which is part of which we must try to achieve. Let me conclude three things
and objectives and putting in front of you strengthen our relationship with Allah subhanaw taala
have kindness and compassion inculcate kindness and compassion, which may be occurring testosterone
made mention of his an objective and adopt southern was several syllable agenda. He was talking to
one
