			Assalamualaikum My name is Mrs.
sunblind from Tanzania. I have two
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:15
			questions. The first is I have
been fasting for many years. But
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:20
			since the last two years, I can't
fast and I feel very uneasy as I
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:24
			have pulmonary hypertension,
wherein I need to take medication
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:29
			every for us. What should I do?
The second question is what is the
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:34
			best repentance dua that I can
make for my sins. As far as
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:38
			fasting in the month of Ramadan is
concerned, we all know that it is
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:41
			compulsory for us to fast in the
month of Ramadan, but certain
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:45
			people who are sick and they're
unable to fast in the month of
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:50
			Ramadan, because of health issues,
then they need to make up for the
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:53
			Miss fast. And Allah subhanaw
taala says in the Glorious Quran
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:58
			in surah Baqarah Chapter number
two that whosoever amongst you a
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:01
			sick from an academy in Cambodia
than Allah Allah seven five
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:05
			determine am whosoever amongst you
sick or his traveling, then he
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:09
			should make up for the fast later
on. So if a person is sick, and
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:13
			because of his health issues, he
is unable to fast he needs to make
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:16
			up for the Miss fast later on
after the month of Ramadan when
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:20
			he's healthy. Or if a person is
traveling he's exempted from
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:25
			fasting, certain people who have a
terminal illness and they have no
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:30
			hope of recovery. So what should
such a person do? Allah subhanaw
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:33
			taala says in the glorious
Frankfurter Bukhara chapter number
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:37
			two, while a lady named at Hakuna
who fit the atom bomb on the skin,
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:40
			Allah Subhana Allah says in surah
Baqarah Chapter number two wisdom
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:44
			184 What Allah let into your
corner who Vidya to Tama miskeen.
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:50
			And as for the one who has a
terminal illness referring to the
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:55
			old people, then they need to feed
one poor person for every missed
		
00:01:55 --> 00:02:00
			PFASs. Now, as far as your medical
issue regarding pulmonary
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:04
			hypertension is concerned, you
should see to it that if you can
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:09
			fast the month of Ramadan, you
should try to fast in the month of
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:13
			Ramadan. And if you're unable to
fast, then you should make up for
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:16
			it later on. Now, as far as
pulmonary hypertension is
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:18
			concerned, what is pulmonary
hypertension? Pulmonary
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:24
			Hypertension is where in the
pressure in the blood vessels
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:29
			leading from the heart to the
lungs, it is very high. And this
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:36
			results in the left side of the
heart muscle becoming weak and
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:41
			which results in the left side of
the heart muscle being unable to
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:45
			pump blood and oxygen to the body
effectively.
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:50
			It is a serious medical condition.
In many instances, this is a
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:54
			serious medical condition. So if
you can fasten the mantle from
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:58
			God, this is the best and what I
would request you to do is that to
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:02
			ask your doctor that if it is
possible to take the medication
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:08
			before so hold ad after Iftar or
during the night during the non
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:14
			fasting us or you can ask your
doctor if it is possible to take a
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:18
			heavier dose before suhoor or
after you break your fast. So in
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:23
			this way, you would fast the month
of Ramadan and it is only a matter
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:27
			of one month you should explain to
your doctor the importance of
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:30
			fasting in the month of Ramadan
and tell your doctor it is only a
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:33
			matter of one month. And if you
have a solution wherein you can
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:37
			take your medication before school
or after Iftar This is the best if
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:41
			you need to take your medication
every four hours. Then in this
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:45
			situation. If your situation is
severe, then you are exempted from
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:50
			fasting, but more mental health is
fine. After the month of Ramadan,
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:54
			you need to make up for the most
fast if your illness is a terminal
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:58
			illness and you have no hope of
recovery that in this situation.
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:04
			You need to feed one poor person
for every day of as fast as I
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:07
			mentioned, as Allah subhanaw taala
says in Surah Baqarah Chapter
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:11
			number two was number 184 while in
Medina ut Hakuna Ophelia
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:14
			compartment Miskin as for those
people who have a terminal
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:19
			illness, they need to feed a poor
person for every missed fast and
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:23
			as far as feeding a poor person is
concerned, there are basically
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:26
			three ways the first is that you
call the poor person to your
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:32
			house. The second is that you give
the poor person cooked food and
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:35
			the third is that you give the
poor person raw food. So in this
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:41
			way, inshallah it is good for you.
But I would request you that to
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:46
			try to find a way out and fast the
month of Ramadan by taking
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:50
			medication before before or after
Iftar but if you have a terminal
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:53
			illness, inshallah you're exempted
from fasting but every misfiles
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:57
			during the month of Ramadan, you
need to feed a poor person. This
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:59
			was the response to your first
question.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:03
			I'm into your second question,
what is the best dua, repentance
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:06
			dua that you can ask from Allah
subhanho wa taala. There are
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:10
			several dua that are mentioned in
the Glorious Quran and authentic
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:12
			hadith so our beloved Prophet
Muhammad, peace and blessings be
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:17
			upon Allah subhanaw taala says the
Glorious Quran in surah Al Imran
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:19
			Chapter Three was number 147
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:23
			Robina for Finland I don't know
whether what is Serafina Fe M
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:24
			Marina,
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:31
			or our Lord, forgive our sins, and
forgive our transgressions in our
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:36
			duties to you. And Allah subhanaw
taala also mentioned another
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:41
			divine sutra chapter 23 Regarding
forgiveness, so we should turn to
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:45
			Allah subhanahu wa taala and ask
forgiveness from Allah subhanaw
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:50
			taala Allah Sumatra seems to me
new chapter 23 Verse 218. Rob been
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:53
			fairly what hon. What and the
whole Rahimi?
		
00:05:54 --> 00:06:01
			Oh my Lord, forgive me and have
mercy on me. For you are the best
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:02
			in order to show mercy
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:06
			and in several places in the
Glorious Quran, Allah subhanaw
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:11
			taala mentioned that he is the
most forgiving and he's the most
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:14
			merciful, but we need to turn to
Allah subhanaw taala and we need
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:18
			to ask repentance from Allah
subhanahu wata Isla, there are
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:21
			several hadith of our beloved
Prophet Muhammad, peace and
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:24
			blessings be upon him, which
mentioned certain to us that we
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:27
			can ask Allah subhanaw taala as
far as repentance is concerned,
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:29
			there's a hadith of our beloved
Prophet Muhammad peace and
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:33
			blessings be upon when I saw the
Allahu anha she asked our beloved
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:36
			Prophet Muhammad peace be upon
that what is the best word that we
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:39
			can do during the last nights of
Ramadan? And our beloved Prophet
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:43
			Muhammad peace be upon him? He
said Allahumma in Nikka sin would
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:49
			to Hezbollah for five one day, oh
my lord, you love Allah, my Nikka
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:53
			fool when Oh my Lord, You are the
oft forgiving you love to forgive,
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:56
			so please forgive me. This is one
of the best words that we can
		
00:06:56 --> 00:07:00
			recite as far as repentance from
Allah subhanho wa Taala is
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:04
			concerned. Besides this, we can
also decide a bit fiddly Oh my
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:08
			Lord forgive me. And besides this,
you can also decide a Stubblefield
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:14
			Allah wa to be Lee. Oh my Lord, I
ask forgiveness from you and I
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:18
			turn to you and repentance. So
there are several dua there are
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:22
			several supplication that we can
do to Allah subhanho wa taala. As
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:26
			far as asking forgiveness from
Allah subhanho wa Taala is
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:29
			concerned as far as repentance
from Allah subhanaw taala is
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:32
			concerned, our beloved Prophet
Muhammad, peace and blessings be
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:35
			upon us to ask forgiveness from
Allah subhanaw taala no less than
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:40
			100 times a day. How many times do
we ask forgiveness from Allah
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:45
			subhanho wa taala. So, the more
returned to Allah subhanaw taala
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:51
			the more Allah subhanho wa Taala
he loves it. And whenever,
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:55
			wherever we are, we should
constantly keep reciting as
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:59
			Telford Allah wa Rabil Philippe
whether we are at home whether we
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:03
			are in the car, whether we are at
work constantly, we can keep
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:08
			reciting a bit fiddly, as well as
a stock for lower to lay. We
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:14
			should keep our tongue moist with
these words of repentance. And if
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:18
			we sincerely repent to Allah
subhanho wa Taala Allah subhanho
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:21
			wa Taala you will inshallah
forgive our sins, but we need to
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:26
			sincerely repent to Allah subhanho
wa taala. And as far as repentance
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:30
			is concerned, there are four
criteria of repentance. The first
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:36
			is that we need to stop the act
immediately. The second is that we
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:39
			need to ask forgiveness from Allah
subhanaw taala for that particular
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:45
			act. The third is that if we can
repay it, we should repay it back
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:48
			for example, if you've robbed
something from someone, we should
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:51
			return it back to him. And the
fourth is that we should make a
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:57
			strong resolution that we will not
do that sin again. These are four
		
00:08:57 --> 00:09:01
			criteria of repentance, and if we
are sincere repentance from Allah
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:05
			subhanaw taala Allah subhanaw
taala he will Inshallah, forgive
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:11
			us one of the best times to do
dua, and to ask for repentance
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:14
			from Allah subhanaw taala. It is
during the touch of prayer, it is
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:18
			during the night prayer during the
last 1/3 of the night. This is the
		
00:09:18 --> 00:09:21
			crucial time and I would request
the brothers and sisters that to
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:25
			make it a regular habit that to
offer the night prayer that
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:29
			touches prayer, especially during
the last 1/3 of the night. And if
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:32
			we ask forgiveness from Allah
subhanaw taala during this time in
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:36
			sha Allah, Allah dua in sha Allah
as applications, it will be
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:40
			answered by Allah subhanho wa
taala. So I hope that answers your
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:40
			question.
