			Bismillah Alhamdulillah wa salatu salam ala Rasulillah Dear brothers and sisters As salam o Alaikum
Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh. And welcome to this episode of Islamic cap. I'm your host, Fatima
barkatullah and hamdulillah we've reached the month of Ramadan. How? How's your Ramadan going? Do
you let me know, you can call in to the studio. The number will be on the screen in a moment. And
you can also send your questions through WhatsApp to the studio. I'm here at your service to help
you navigate and answer some of your questions regarding Islamic practices during this month, and
any questions that you may have about Islam.
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:04
			So brothers and sisters, how have you been this Ramadan? How has it begun for you?
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:17
			Have you been preparing work? Did you feel prepared when you started? I know that many of us, once
Ramadan has started, can often start feeling that we're falling short.
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:24
			But we shouldn't allow that to happen because Subhanallah Ramadan is like a treasure trove for us.
		
00:01:26 --> 00:02:00
			You know, every single moment every single second is something that we should be trying to benefit
from, is something that we can benefit from. When rewards are multiplied. We when we are fasting
we're in a special state. And Allah subhanaw taala rewards us just being in that state just from
withholding from food and drink. And doing that with the intention of fasting. Allah subhanaw taala
is rewarding us for every moment. But beyond that Ramadan is the month of the Quran, isn't it?
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:16
			And we had a question that came into the studio about the Quran. And sister, she was asking, Can I
read the Quran in English instead of in Arabic during the Ramadan period?
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:26
			And in answering that, I think I can highlight to you what I call the three R's, the three R's of
Quran connection,
		
00:02:27 --> 00:03:03
			and that those are reading, reflecting and reciting. So the sister is asking, Can I, you know, read
the Quran in English throughout the month of Ramadan? The answer to that is, of course, a person can
read the translation of the meaning of the Quran in English. And they should do that, especially if
they don't understand Arabic, they should do that, in order to reflect on the Quran, and that's the
second of my three R's. read, reflect and recite. But reading the Quran
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:31
			is actually rewarded in the Arabic language, right? So reading the Quran in its original words,
because Allah subhanaw taala he revealed the Quran in Arabic, right, the the Quran is the speech of
Allah, and it's in Arabic. And so in order for us to be rewarded for every letter for every word
that we read, and for the baraka that we gain from reciting Quran,
		
00:03:33 --> 00:04:08
			the Shiva that the Quran is, you know, the Quran is healing, in order for that to take effect. We
read the Quran in Arabic, and that's what is actually, you know, what we will be rewarded for. So, I
would encourage everyone, whether you understand the words in Arabic or not, you should read the
Quran from the most half from the, you know, the physical copy of the Quran, if you can or from your
phone. You know, nowadays there are apps from your tablet, read the Quran
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:11
			properly in the Arabic
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:59
			In addition to that, we should be trying to reflect on the Quran, that the bar what is known as the
bar. And in order to do that we might take you know, rely on things like translation of the Quran,
or a tafsir book of Tafseer which is the exegesis of the Quran. And that's also something that Allah
subhanaw taala encouraged in the Quran, do they not ponder over the Quran? Allah Subhana Allah asks
us, right. So yes, in Ramadan, we should spend time reading the Quran in our own languages as well.
But that's that doesn't replace reading the Quran in Arabic. That's very important for us to note,
you know, obviously if a person can't
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:50
			Read the Quran in Arabic, they don't have the ability to read, then you know they can do the best
that they can and read a translation of the meaning. But you have to realize that it doesn't
replace, it's not as to the same standard or to the same level. It doesn't have the reward attached
to it, that reading the Quran in the Arabic language does. And then the third thing is reciting of
the Quran. And what I mean by that is tilava and reciting deer reciting the Quran, in the Salah.
That is also something that we are encouraged to do during Ramadan, as the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam told us whoever stands in prayer in Ramadan with Eman and hoping for reward, we have faith
		
00:05:51 --> 00:06:08
			and hoping for reward then Allah subhanaw taala will forgive their sins, all of their previous sins.
And in order to do that, that Qian when we stand in prayer, you know, especially the prayers that we
do after the Isha prayer,
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:15
			the Tarawih prayer or the Tahajjud prayer, the prayers the extra, the Nawab fill prayers that we do
after Isha
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:42
			we should try to spend time reciting Quran in those prayers, you know, whether you're doing it at
home or whether you're doing it in the masjid, of course in the masjid, the Imam is reciting. But
when you're doing at home, you know you can also recite without, you know, whatever you've
memorized, whatever you've memorized, this is a chance for you to recite that.
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:49
			And Allah Subhana Allah knows best. So I've got another question here.
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:52
			Let me have a look.
		
00:06:54 --> 00:07:04
			Somebody is asking Salam aleikum? Please Is it okay to listen to Quran on mobile phone and follow it
by reading with Quran
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:44
			I mean, there's nothing wrong with listening to the Quran in somebody else reciting it on the phone,
for example, listening to a party reciting the Quran and then following it, within the most half.
There's nothing wrong with that, you know, that could be one way of learning. But again, it doesn't
replace you actually reciting and reading the Quran. Right? Brothers and sisters, when we do deeds,
you know, we're using our limbs, we're using our tongue, we're using our bodies, we're using our
hands, our feet, we're using our energy
		
00:07:45 --> 00:08:27
			to worship Allah Subhana. Allah, these actions are a sign of our iman. And so things like reading
the Quran, they can't be replaced. Simply by listening to the grant, that is not the same thing
because one is passive. One is active, right? So, of course, there's nothing wrong with listening
and following. That's something people could benefit from maybe, you know, if they're just revising
something, or if they want to just follow maybe they don't know how to read. That's completely
understandable. But again, it doesn't replace actually actively reading. Okay, another question I
have here.
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:38
			When distributing inheritance or writing a will, is it allowed to leave more for one son than the
other.
		
00:08:40 --> 00:09:09
			So, in when it comes to the shares of inheritance, when it comes to family members, these are fixed,
right? So depending on who your heirs are, who you leave behind, whether you've got children or not,
whether you've got a spouse, all of these factors will be factored in. And there are specific shares
that have been mentioned for members of the family. Okay.
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:21
			But and so, for those members of the family who have been mentioned, and who are included in the
fixed shares of inheritance,
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:36
			you wouldn't be allowed to give one member of the family more than another, right? of your own
accord. In other words, if you have two sons, if a person has two sons, for example, and they are
his heirs,
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:45
			it wouldn't be allowed to write in the will that you want one son to have more than the other. It
doesn't work like that.
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:59
			In within your lifetime. If you've given them a gift, something like this, that's different and even
then, you know, the Sharia encourages us, to be fair between our children, you know, to give if you
give one sense
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:18
			don't think she'd give another son unless one is more needy than the other. Right? If so, if
somebody has more of a need, and you might in your lifetime, I mean, while you're alive, you might
want to give some one child something, because they have a particular need, another child doesn't.
But after death,
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:45
			the shares of inheritance are already have already been assigned and fixed. So we don't tamper with
those. However, you have a third of your wealth that you can assign to some cause or some other
person may be who's not included in your inheritance, etc. Right? But when it comes to the actual
heirs, their shares are
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:54
			already fixed. So that's not something that you should be tampering with. An Allah Subhana Allah
knows best.
		
00:10:55 --> 00:11:04
			I'm gonna look at some of the other questions that have come in. What is the purpose of fasting? One
of the questions that's come in is what is the purpose of fasting?
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:06
			And
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:09
			subhanAllah? That's a good question.
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:43
			Allah Subhana Allah made fasting, one of the following the month of Ramadan, one of the five pillars
of Islam, one of the five essential things that every Muslim has to do, right. So the five pillars
of Islam, or of course, the shahada, which is the testimony of faith. A shadow Allah ilaha illallah
wa shadow anna Muhammad risotto Allah making that statement and believing in that the second pillar
of Islam is establishing the Salah. Right? The five daily prayers
		
00:11:44 --> 00:12:02
			Fajr the harasser, Maghrib and Isha. The third pillar of Islam is fasting, fasting the month of
Ramadan. So this one month, one lunar month, in the year, we fast every single day, from dawn until
sunset.
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:47
			What is the purpose behind it? Subhanallah there are so many benefits, but Allah Subhana Allah Allah
specifically says that he revealed this in order for us to attain taqwa in order for us to attain
God consciousness. And if we reflect, we can think of some of the ways in which fasting helps us to
attain God consciousness. You know, in this world, most people, when you look on the streets, when
you're out and about, most people are walking around in a state of Afula. They're in a state of
heedlessness, they don't really conscious about the fact that they have very limited time on this
earth. And that one day, they're going to meet their Lord one day, they're going to have to answer
		
00:12:47 --> 00:12:55
			for everything that they've done. And one day they will end up, you know, being judged by Allah and
then
		
00:12:56 --> 00:13:04
			having a life of eternity, either in Jana or Johanna, right? Most people are not conscious of that
most people are not thinking about that.
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:29
			But Antiqua means that we do become conscious of that we become very acutely conscious. And we walk
around in such as such a way that we don't forget that. And subhanAllah fasting has that effect,
doesn't it? Have you noticed that when you're fasting, you start feeling that hunger, but first,
it's almost like a constant,
		
00:13:30 --> 00:13:44
			a type of ache that you're feeling, that is a constant reminder that you're a believer, a constant
reminder that you've got to be careful, constant reminder to control yourself, right.
		
00:13:45 --> 00:14:01
			Fasting has so many health benefits as well. I mean, apart from spiritual benefits, there are so
many health benefits to fasting, our body gets a break, you know, our digestive system actually gets
a break. And so what happens it actually goes into this,
		
00:14:03 --> 00:14:30
			this kind of state where it starts to clean and detoxify itself. This is something that you can read
about if you read about fasting. You know, at the moment, there's a huge trend of intermittent
fasting people are fasting as a diet anyway, right? So they have like 16 hours of No, no food,
usually it's not a dry fast. Hour fasting is a dry fast, dry fast means no food or drink.
		
00:14:31 --> 00:14:48
			You know, people when they do it for health reasons, they sometimes do it with no food only. But
there are also benefits to dry fasting that have been cataloged and you can look those up.
Physically there are many benefits again, the body gets a break, it starts to cleanse itself.
		
00:14:49 --> 00:14:59
			Actually people you know who studied longevity, they actually talk about how fasting is one of the
means to increase a person's health and lifespan
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:09
			You know, of course we know that these things are written, but Allah subhana, Allah gives us fasting
as, first of all as a spiritual,
		
00:15:11 --> 00:15:13
			you know, healing. But,
		
00:15:14 --> 00:15:19
			of course, there are so many physical benefits to it as well, it diminishes our,
		
00:15:21 --> 00:15:24
			our desires as well, right? When we're in a state of fasting,
		
00:15:26 --> 00:16:17
			our animalistic desires are diminished. And so because we're constantly reminded that we're in that
state, it helps us to lower our gaze, for example, it helps us to be more in control of desires that
may be, we find hard to control. And that's why the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam recommended
didn't hear that if a person couldn't get married, when he speaking to a young person who couldn't
get married, you know, he said, get married. And if you can't, fast, because fasting helps you
control that desire. Right? Those are just some of the benefits of fasting. Allah subhanaw. Taala
also says that fasting is for him. It's one of the most sincere deeds that we could ever do, right?
		
00:16:17 --> 00:16:57
			Allah will personally reward it. Why? Because when you pray, when you do other actions, even when
you give sadaqa, for example, it's something that somebody could know about, somebody could see and
observe. And so there's always a slight danger that you might be doing it to show off. But when it
comes to fasting, nobody really knows that you're fasting, right? Only Allah subhanaw taala really
knows and you and so if you fast, it's one of the most sincere acts that you could do you give up
food and drink something that's beloved to you, for the sake of Allah.
		
00:16:58 --> 00:17:06
			And those are just some of the special things that fasting gives us. Okay, let me see.
		
00:17:08 --> 00:17:17
			A Salam aleikum? Is that a particular dua to say before so whoever? I don't know of a particular
specific blog to say before, so whoever,
		
00:17:18 --> 00:18:09
			but you know, we should be making as much to as possible. And, you know, brothers and sisters,
sometimes we think, and we want a specific blah for everything, right? And, in reality, Allah
subhanaw taala loves for us to call on him sincerely, from the bottom of our heart, in any language
that we know. Right? So the best dua is actually the DUA that comes from your heart in which you are
as humble as possible in front of Allah, and that you're speaking from the heart, in your language.
So never, never hold back waiting to find the perfect dua in Arabic. Right. And, of course, for
those listeners, who who may be new to this terminology, is supplication. So when you call upon
		
00:18:09 --> 00:18:14
			Allah, and that's something you can do 24/7 Wherever you are,
		
00:18:15 --> 00:18:41
			at any point in time, right, it's our connection with Allah that we can have at any time. And so in
Ramadan, of course, you should increase in dua, one of the doors that we could say, you know, the
doors that are mentioned fall a little further, for example, right along my * for one to hebbal
alpha five for Anna, that's a dua that we should be doing all night as much as possible, you know,
		
00:18:42 --> 00:18:52
			when we're trying to seek little cover anyway. Right. So that's one I could mention. But
specifically for suhoor. You know, really, we should be making as much thought as we can.
		
00:18:53 --> 00:19:06
			The time of horror is, of course, part of the last third of the night. So it's a very special time
when do as onset, especially if you're doing it closer to Fudger, right just before the dawn.
		
00:19:07 --> 00:19:16
			So don't lose that opportunity. Make the most of that opportunity and make dua in your language from
the bottom of your heart.
		
00:19:17 --> 00:19:18
			Because I come allow, Harun
		
00:19:19 --> 00:19:27
			salam Wa alaykum Can I follow the Hadoop or tarawih from Makkah from my television?
		
00:19:29 --> 00:19:59
			I don't know what the question means by follow. If you mean Can I watch it? Can I benefit from
watching it? Of course, that's fine. You can always watch and you can benefit from listening and
it's wonderful, isn't it to to have a look at what's happening in Makkah and Medina etc. But if you
mean, can you actually pray and have the imam from Makkah and Medina as your Imam through the
television, then no, that's not something that you can do. And that's not something that you are
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:11
			expected to do at all, it's actually better for you, or actually wouldn't be a correct way of
praying, right? What you should do is pray. If you don't know much Quran,
		
00:20:12 --> 00:20:38
			you pray your own prayer, if you don't know much Quran, and this is an official prayer, in other
words, the 100 prayers that you're doing, you can have almost half you can actually have either a
small copy of the Quran in your hand, or if you have Quran on your phone, you can actually recite
from that, okay? Or some people you know, they have like a stand, they keep a stand and they put
almost half there.
		
00:20:40 --> 00:20:47
			So that when they stand up, the must have is in front of them with a tablet is in front of them, and
they can recite from it.
		
00:20:48 --> 00:21:17
			But brothers, doesn't it kind of show you the importance of memorizing Quran, right? When Ramadan
comes, you realize your own shortcomings, don't you when it comes to memorization of Quran, and you
kind of wish I wish I knew this surah I wish I knew Surah Baqarah I wish I knew these beautiful
tours of Quran so that instead of relying on a must have I could actually sound and just recite, you
know, with all of my heart for this for Allah Subhana Allah Allah I could recite.
		
00:21:18 --> 00:21:33
			And so in a way, it should remind us all that even after Ramadan, we will do our best to memorize
Quran so that we can stand in, and we can recite from our memory.
		
00:21:34 --> 00:21:42
			So I hope that answers the question. Just like love heron. We're going to see if there's another
quick question I can squeeze in before the break.
		
00:21:44 --> 00:21:51
			Please, if someone mistakenly eat something when fasting in Ramadan is here to repay the fast
		
00:21:52 --> 00:22:12
			if you forget that you're fasting, and you eat something, or drink something, right, you forgot that
you're fasting, and you just eat or drink something, then that is something that's completely
forgiven as soon as you realize you should wash your mouth out, remove the taste from your mouth and
continue fasting and there's nothing, nothing to repay.
		
00:22:18 --> 00:22:38
			But if that fast is broken, right? So for example, somebody knows that they're fasting, and they
swallow something. Right? Or they break their fast deliberately, then they've got to make up that
fast afterwards. Okay, they've got to make up that fast afterwards.
		
00:22:39 --> 00:23:20
			Okay, brothers and sisters, we're going to go to a break and after the break, I will continue to
answer your questions to Zach Kamala heron, Salam o alaikum, Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh as salaam
alaikum, brothers and sisters, and welcome back, I just wanted to reiterate, for all of you that the
fast of Ramadan are obligatory, you know, it's very important to realize that breaking fast in
Ramadan on purpose, deliberately is a major sin is considered a major sin. And it's something that
we've got to be very aware of and careful about, it's not something to be taken lightly.
		
00:23:21 --> 00:23:49
			Just as all of the five pillars, you know, the five pillars of Islam, we mentioned three of them,
and the others are, of course, Zakah, right, paying the zakah a certain percentage of our wealth
every year, once it goes over a certain amount becomes do upon us, for the poor people, right? And
of course, hedge once in our lifetime, if we are able, if we're able, if we can afford it, and if we
have the ability and the means to do so.
		
00:23:51 --> 00:24:21
			Those five pillars, brothers and sisters are the basic minimums. Those are the things that every
Muslim is required to do. No other deeds are as important as those, right? So that's why you know,
those are the ones that we should be emphasizing in our communities and making sure that we're not
falling short on and the fast of Ramadan is one of those. In fact, there's a beautiful Hadith in
which the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said to women, that if a woman
		
00:24:22 --> 00:24:59
			you know, prays a five prayers, and she fasts her month of Ramadan, and she Gods her chastity, and
She obeys her husband, and she obeys her husband, then she will be she will be allowed to enter
Jannah from whichever thought that she wishes Subhanallah Can you imagine? Can you imagine what a
beautiful Hadith that is? You know, so, for those of us for women out there, you know, if we take
this hadith to heart, we can see that there are a few simple things and
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:17
			that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam has emphasized if we can, you know, take heed of them,
then in sha Allah, Jana is ours, My Allah Subhana Allah, Allah unite us all, in Jannah together,
brothers and sisters, you can call into the studio.
		
00:25:18 --> 00:25:28
			So do do call in, and you can send your questions in through WhatsApp, in Sharla. I'm gonna
endeavored to do my best to answer them. There's a question that a sister sent in to me.
		
00:25:30 --> 00:25:41
			This is there's a question that sister sent into me earlier, which I must answer. She was asking, Is
it okay to do a baby shower? Right? So basically a party
		
00:25:43 --> 00:26:24
			for anticipating the birth of her baby? Is it okay to have some kind of party, you know, gather her
friends and celebrate, you know, they'll probably bring gifts for the baby, for the mother. And
that's it's like a western tradition if you like, right? Is there anything wrong with us doing that?
And the answer to that is that, you know, when it comes to personal celebrations like that, that are
not related to religion, okay, they don't have a religious history that don't have a religious
significance, right? They're not kind of Christian, or Jewish or any other religious kind of
festival or linked to that at all right?
		
00:26:25 --> 00:26:31
			Then, those kinds of personal celebrations, they're fine, you know, it's fine for a person to
		
00:26:33 --> 00:26:38
			have a party for any reason, right for any reason that they want to celebrate something.
		
00:26:39 --> 00:27:21
			So there shouldn't be any issue with having a party for that. However, I would actually encourage
brothers and sisters instead of having a baby shower, to have an appy occur after the baby is born,
right to instead put your energy into preparing for some kind of party to have after the baby is
born. When you're having the Akiko, which is, you know, where we sacrifice an animal and we
distribute the meat to sheep for a boy, one for a girl. And we can invite all our relatives, our
friends, on that occasion, because that is the Sunnah of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
right?
		
00:27:22 --> 00:27:43
			I would actually encourage us instead to do that. And there's a number of reasons for that. First of
all, you know, obviously, it's the Sunnah. That's the actual prescribed way of kind of welcoming a
child and it's a nice opportunity to distribute the meat to gain the reward for that, you know, the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, Every child is ransomed by their Akiko, right.
		
00:27:45 --> 00:28:37
			So it is something that it has that significance. But the other reason is, brothers and sisters that
I've actually known of people who had a baby shower, which is before the baby is born, how at the
party, people brought so many gifts, anticipating that it was going to be a girl, for example. And,
you know, very kind of girls, baby girl gifts and all sorts of things. And then sadly, the baby
passed away during labor, right. So the baby was stillborn. And then of course, that couple ends up
having a house full of baby gifts that they've had from before that now sadly, they they can't use
and also is a constant reminder to them of their loss.
		
00:28:38 --> 00:28:57
			So I think, you know, instead of having some kind of party before the baby's born, I think there's
great wisdom in having it after the baby is born. And Allah Subhana Allah knows best. And of course,
pica is a sunnah, which is the best thing that we could be doing, right.
		
00:28:58 --> 00:29:01
			Okay. I believe we have a caller.
		
00:29:03 --> 00:29:07
			Salam o aleikum. Caller, please tell me where you're calling from.

Precious time. You're with us?
		
00:29:38 --> 00:29:40
			Of course. So how are you spending this time with Allah?
		
00:29:42 --> 00:29:46
			Trying my best sister. Yeah, that's fine question was now.
		
00:29:49 --> 00:29:50
			I'm not getting the most
		
00:29:51 --> 00:29:59
			I'm trying to do at home. Now. Every day. Before I'm a dancer, I normally do to work
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:02
			for sugar on which is thank you
		
00:30:03 --> 00:30:04

00:30:05 --> 00:30:09

00:30:11 --> 00:30:13

00:30:15 --> 00:30:29
			Okay sister Can you can you please make sure that your television or any kind of sound is has been
turned down? Can you do that everybody says I'm upstairs, downstairs and can you make sure you're
not using a speakerphone?
		
00:30:30 --> 00:30:32
			No it's on okay.
		
00:30:33 --> 00:30:41
			Yeah, so could you could you just repeat that question please? Just so clear on the question. Sorry.
So before Ramadan
		
00:30:42 --> 00:30:53
			after Isha I swear to god no offI for for sugar Allah. Thank you for thank Allah. Yeah. And to recap
for the Toba. Okay,
		
00:30:54 --> 00:30:57
			so now I have to return it.
		
00:30:59 --> 00:31:02
			So do I do it before
		
00:31:03 --> 00:31:04
			or after?
		
00:31:07 --> 00:31:07
			Okay,
		
00:31:09 --> 00:31:12
			do you pray that we prayers in the masjid? No, no, I'm
		
00:31:14 --> 00:31:15
			okay.
		
00:31:17 --> 00:31:19
			Okay, does that Kyla Heron system
		
00:31:20 --> 00:31:30
			do you have is that your question? Yes. Yeah, yeah. Okay, Charla please keep listening and inshallah
we will address your question.
		
00:31:32 --> 00:31:38
			Okay. So the system is asking, she it's her habit to pray to God.
		
00:31:39 --> 00:31:58
			For to thank Allah subhanaw taala after Isha and it's a habit to pray to the gods. As Toba, seek
forgiveness from Allah after Isha. And that's something that she does on usually throughout the
year, and now she's asking in Ramadan, what should she do?
		
00:31:59 --> 00:32:46
			Well, look, sister, that's something that you when it comes to Nuffield prayers, right. The more you
do the better, right you're doing nothing prayers, your you know, it's extra right after especially
after Isha. We're encouraged to do as much as possible. Right. If you're praying in the masjid, you
should pray as long as the Imam is praying from beginning to end and leave when the Imam leaves or
stop when the Imam stops and you will have the reward for praying all night. If you're praying at
home, then you know it's up to you. It's really up to you. However many rock out you'd like to pray.
This is completely up to you. And of course, there isn't like a specific you, you know, you've
		
00:32:46 --> 00:32:51
			assigned that this is my salah for you know, Toba, this is my falafel.
		
00:32:53 --> 00:33:09
			You can do that with your throwaway press, right? You can make Toba within your tarawih prayers, you
can thank Allah within your tarawih prayers. So there's no kind of need to make a distinction in
those prayers in that way, you know, as far as I know.
		
00:33:10 --> 00:33:50
			But if you like you could you know, have the prayers that you pray after Isha that you want to do
specifically for Ramadan, and then pray extra prayers. But like I said, there's no prescription in
terms of the number of records that you do. Do as much as you can. What's more important is that we
do it with full conviction, we have full concentration, and we do it for the sake of Allah alone.
We're not doing it to show off you know, not doing it to show anyone etc. The sincerity the who show
these are the more important things and Allah Subhana Allah knows best.
		
00:33:51 --> 00:33:58
			So, what other questions do we have? What is the dua for protection from every evil?
		
00:33:59 --> 00:34:10
			There are a number of the US one is I O will be kalimat Allah He term mean Kali Shaitan in wahama,
Wyoming kuliah in in lamb.
		
00:34:11 --> 00:34:20
			And the meaning of that is to be Kalamata Allah, Hi, Tom. I seek refuge in the Perfect Words of
Allah.
		
00:34:22 --> 00:34:27
			In Kali Shavon, Anwar Hama from every shaitan from every Satan,
		
00:34:28 --> 00:34:32
			evil, evil spirit, you could call, you know, Shavon
		
00:34:34 --> 00:34:43
			Shavon in wahama, and every thing that can harm right woman could die in in llama, and every kind of
		
00:34:44 --> 00:34:49
			evil eye, right, somebody having ill ill intent
		
00:34:50 --> 00:34:58
			and is having Hassard and jealousy towards us, right, and the evil effects of that. So that's quite
a comprehensive da
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:01
			which you can look up.
		
00:35:02 --> 00:35:11
			Apart from that, you know, there are the doors like they were sewers of the Quran like Surah Surah
NAS
		
00:35:14 --> 00:35:41
			how the belimbing the shaytani R rajim Bismillahi Rahmani Raheem Kula with a bit of B nas moluccana
Nurse Illa in miniature real was was a nurse Allah the US we Sophie subordinates mineral Giannetti
one nurse, so it's a nurse and then of course before that so it's a follow up these are these are
sewers that are also to us right that we can recite for protection from evil. Okay
		
00:35:45 --> 00:35:46
			Sonoma Aleikum
		
00:35:49 --> 00:35:52
			I'm watching the program from Mozambique pay Masha Allah.
		
00:35:53 --> 00:35:54
			My question is
		
00:35:58 --> 00:36:02
			during such that, do I close my eyes or leave them open?
		
00:36:04 --> 00:36:11
			I've never really thought about that question to be honest, sister. Do I close my eyes? Or do I
leave them open?
		
00:36:14 --> 00:36:43
			In sha Allah, I'm going to find out about that in more detail. But as far as I know, there's no
specific kind of prescription for that. Right. During the Salah in general, we keep our eyes open,
right? We look down, but we keep our eyes open. When it comes to the search that I believe that
there's no specific prescription for that, you know, it's kind of up to you.
		
00:36:44 --> 00:36:48
			But I will look into that further. So do listen out in a future show in sha Allah.
		
00:36:50 --> 00:36:56
			I think we have another caller. So let me go straight to the caller. Salam Alikum. caller please
tell us
		
00:36:58 --> 00:37:46
			please tell us where you're calling from. I'm calling from what foods I hope you're good. have
handed in that what food Okay, so how is Ramadan in Watford sister? Ramadan, love Hamdulillah.
Ramadan is good Ramadan leaves. It's raining at the moment. So it doesn't feel like we really
fasting it's not difficult. Alhamdulillah hamdulillah Yeah. And the days are not as long as they
were previously Right. Like absolutely some easier and at the same time, it's it's more tricky as
well. In what way So, previous Ramadan, because the time before Suhur and Iftar was very short. I
would for example stay all night long reading the Quran, but now it's a bit longer. So you go to bed
		
00:37:46 --> 00:38:03
			and you wake up again. And it's a bit more difficult. Yes, you're right. So having that kind of
broke broken sleep. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Baseball do that humbly life. So Sister, how can I help you
today? So I have a question regarding
		
00:38:04 --> 00:38:27
			the supplications that the lamb are doing in Makkah at the moment. During the Tao we they do a very,
very long supplications with the people praying. And I wonder if it's possible to record it. And
today when we're not home when it's time for me to do my taraweeh to play so I can also listen to
the same supplications or not.
		
00:38:28 --> 00:38:37
			Did you say recitation? The supplication to do all that they do have a supplications? Yes. So you
mean like at the end in the western prayer?
		
00:38:38 --> 00:38:54
			Yes, they do very low one out loud on TV. And I wonder if it's a possibility to record it. So when
it's time for me to do because I don't speak Arabic to those who do the same or to listen and you
know, hold my hand like they do on TV.
		
00:38:56 --> 00:38:57
			Okay, does that
		
00:38:58 --> 00:38:59
			thank you for your question sister.
		
00:39:02 --> 00:39:23
			So I think, you know, when it comes to the Salah, right when you're within the Salah, and your trip
and you want to raise your hands and you want to make dua, then you shouldn't have something playing
in the background, you know, that would not really be the right way to do it. Right? It really it
would be that you do your best and you make your doors yourself, okay.
		
00:39:25 --> 00:39:56
			But when it comes to like generally if you want to just record it if you want to record a door by an
Imam, I remember when I lived in Egypt, you know, Sheikh Mohammed Gibreel would come to the masjid
the honorable Alas, the first Masjid in Africa. And he would do these beautiful long doors right?
And yeah, I have a recording of those dua dua that he would do. Because it's so comprehensive and
beautiful. You just want to capture it I completely understand
		
00:39:57 --> 00:39:59
			and then to listen to it.
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:13
			separately, you know, not within the Salah, but you know, on your own, within your own time to
listen to that da to repeat that da after him, you know, and and say, I mean,
		
00:40:14 --> 00:40:26
			they should be nothing wrong with doing that, especially if you're trying to learn those doors,
right, you're doing it with the intention of learning those doors of benefiting from those doors. So
in that sense, you know, there's nothing
		
00:40:28 --> 00:40:30
			any no issue with that, right.
		
00:40:31 --> 00:40:47
			But when it comes to within the Salah, then you wouldn't have some thing playing in the background,
you know, that wouldn't really be the right way to do it is better for you to spend some time there
sister memorizing some of those guys,
		
00:40:48 --> 00:40:51
			and making it out of your own court from your own heart, you know,
		
00:40:53 --> 00:41:02
			that's actually better than feeling that you have to follow a perfect kind of formula of dua, right,
that some other person is reciting.
		
00:41:04 --> 00:41:49
			I hope that makes sense. You know, of course, any kind of recording that we have, we can benefit
from it, we can use it to learn from it. But when it comes to the actual act that we're doing that
we'll do our that we're making, we should make it ourselves, you know, we should especially in the
Salah, it's something that we should do ourselves, we can't rely on recordings, and then you know,
outside of Ramadan, I think like I said earlier, it's real motivation for us to start memorizing and
learning more, you know, attending a class or going to some learning more Arabic learning, you know,
more kind of Quran et cetera just so that we can be able to do these things ourselves right we can
		
00:41:49 --> 00:41:53
			be able to recite and do these dials ourselves
		
00:41:54 --> 00:42:01
			does I can love her and I hope that answers your question. Let me try to squeeze in one more
question
		
00:42:06 --> 00:42:13
			sister is asking what are the good things you can do in the month of Ramadan? So Pamela there's so
many good things right.
		
00:42:15 --> 00:42:55
			Of course, making your fast and making it as perfect as possible not saying any bad words and not
getting into any fights very difficult but don't do it. Get it Get off social media you know if it
if it encourages you to fight it encourages you to get into a negative mind space. Increasing your
vicar every moment you can make liquor right whether you're standing in a queue try to maximise on
every single moment by making liquor give more sadaqa the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would
give so much sadaqa in Ramadan even more than usual. give sadaqa find different types of causes and
give sadaqa to different types of causes. Some people would like to pay their Zakah in Ramadan
		
00:42:56 --> 00:42:57
			that's perfectly fine as well.
		
00:42:59 --> 00:43:45
			Increase in your night prayers right so the prayers after Isha try it for there not to be any night
where after Isha you have not prayed at least to record of prayer, if not the whole taraweeh you
know in the masjid from beginning to end with the Imam only leaving when the Imam stops. If you do
that, inshallah you have the reward of praying all night. So increasing in prayer increasing and
reading Quran, reciting Quran reflecting on the Quran, increasing in vicar, increasing in your good
deeds and giving food and helping people to break their fast, you know, giving food to break
people's fast. That's also hugely rewarded, but I've just tried to highlight as much as I could in
		
00:43:45 --> 00:43:53
			the time that we have Ramadan Mubarak brothers and sisters and Sharla I'll see you next time. Salam
alaykum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
