Allah, what I want to talk to you is the title and I really need you to think of the title many of
the things you hear is you probably have heard it again and again and again. The question always has
to come to everybody.
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:59
			And please and I really ask you sincerely brothers and sisters if I have say something you disagree
with, please feel free to correct me. Every year we hear the same thing. Every year we hear the same
thing about Ramadan. Every year this Masjid I am sure in every Masjid in the LA area and in Orange
County is full of people am I correct? And you barely if you come late, you barely can find a place
and everybody enjoy the Imam reading and when the last night and everybody's crying with the DUA. Oh
no. This is all beautiful. Right?
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:03
			What's happened on the day of aid
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:11
			as if we did nothing for 30 days
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:15
			as we did nothing for 30 days, am I correct?
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:18
			Back to the same thing
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:27
			whatever I did before Ramadan I'm doing look at and again we really need to be honest with ourselves
because we will not change
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:58
			you look at how we go to the aid salah the way we park the way we agree to do we agree to we don't
greet how do we look at people How do I dress? Do I listen to the hotbar do I really changed who I
really established this relationship for the last 30 days three zero. They in day out and fasting
I'm struggling I'm praying I'm reading Quran I'm doing all these things. Why didn't I change?
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:10
			Let me ask everybody and I want to see hands here. How many of you confidently say that I am
definitely a different person from last Ramadan
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:34
			confidently again, I can put you on this on the spot. Because if you were in this small classes I
usually give I would have asked you and told me show me May Allah make it true and put Baraka but
give me one example. I'm going to do it here. Anybody from the Sisters of the brothers that
hamdulillah there were many hands. What was it
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:40
			that made you raise your hand? something practical? I don't want titles.
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:44
			You know, I was like I am a more McDuffie and I was like Creedy
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:50
			mashallah, give me an example. So give me an example.
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:14
			Alhamdulillah so I have more resilience. I am praying more since last Ramadan. Again, I'm not going
to go to the details. But in general, why I'm saying this. There is about three weeks to Ramadan,
roughly speaking, right?
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:16
			What is your goal?
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:21
			And don't tell me I'm going to fast everybody will.
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:45
			And if you cannot fast you're going to pay money. I'm going to come to Ramallah to the taraweeh
everybody does. I'm gonna finish the Quran. Almost everybody will does or will try. What will make
you special in the sight of Allah from everybody else in this room, let alone from every Muslim out
there.
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:59
			That's what I need. When I said I, Allah and Ramadan. I normally analyze even titles. Who are you?
When I said I
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:00
			Who Am I?
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:42
			And I'm not talking about my name. What do I do? Where do I live? How many children I have? I'm not
talking about this. I'm talking who I am. And please listen to me. In the sight of Allah. Allah know
the chef just shared with you a lesson and talk with Aloka Annika Tara, Olympic Winter off. I know
your rock, you all know it. You worship Allah as if he's seeing you. And if he doesn't, if you are
not seeing him, he sees you. So he's seen me? Yes, everybody. Do you have any doubts? Alhamdulillah
What do you think he's saying about you? And me?
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:56
			Is he going to look at me? And he's gonna say near my lab? Do you know who? awaba What a servant of
Mine she is? Or he is. They always returned to me.
		
00:05:58 --> 00:05:58
			Am I
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:07
			can I say it confidently? I would love to say yes. If I say yes, I'm a big liar. I'm talking about
myself.
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:43
			So the first step in preparing for Ramadan, there is external preparation. For example, you haven't
fasted since last year to make sure this week you fast a day or two to get yourself ready. You
haven't did any haven't done any PM, any night Salah since last Ramadan do at least two or three
this week and the week after, because it is not a switch that tomorrow is Ramadan, you turn on the
switch and suddenly everything changed, nothing will change. So I need to get ready. That's
external.
		
00:06:44 --> 00:07:13
			And subhanAllah. Because of the baraka of Ramadan, we all get more energy. Sometimes we will look at
ourselves and we say, Oh no, I'm doing it. But it's due. It's happening. I'm working and I'm
preparing the Iftar And the ironic the children go to the masjid come home at 11 and then I go to
sleep a few hours and I'm up and then I do so. And you say subhanallah I don't know how I do it. But
I'm doing it. The baraka from Yvonne that's external.
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:15
			This is everybody.
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:23
			What will make you or me different in the sight of Allah and on Day of Judgment?
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:27
			Don't settle for let's just get to Jana.
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:33
			That's not the ambitious people. Nobody just settle for a one bedroom apartment in this life.
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:36
			Through
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:53
			you're a student, it's okay. I got my first job I need to move. Now I got a promotion I need to buy
a house. Turn when I'm going to live in an apartment. Don't we say that? There's nothing wrong with
it. As long as everything is halal. Why in Jannah not the same thing.
		
00:07:55 --> 00:08:06
			If I want to be in the highest level your OB I mean all of us. I have to do something externally.
And more importantly, something inside me.
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:26
			Many people don't have it. That's what made Satan Abu Bakr different than anybody else. What did he
say about him? Massa Baca Komaba Corinne B Kathy salamin asada. He was talking to the Companions,
including Sade Naramata and say Natalie, and he said, Well, Booker did not
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:34
			became where he is right now because he does more soul more fasting and more prayer.
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:38
			Well, I can see in one corner of your Kobe,
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:42
			something reside and he lived in his heart.
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:57
			That's the first thing you need to look internally. What Who are you with Allah? What do you have
inside you? For Allah only?
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:09
			Make it practically easier and are going to ask everybody but don't answer me has asked between you
and Allah. But go home and answer this question. What did you give up?
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:36
			What did you give up? Have something you love, and you have access to it? But you gave it up for
Allah? Like you're gonna give up your food and drink in three weeks? For about 12 hours roughly for
Allah only that's why we're fasting. But what did you give up? From this dunya let alone internally
for the sake of Allah.
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:41
			You you need to define who are you?
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:46
			And again, I'm talking about the internal your relationship with Allah.
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:52
			What do you do extra between you and Allah, and many people don't do
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:56
			that's me.
		
00:09:57 --> 00:09:59
			Then the most second important question
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:01
			Who is Allah?
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:09
			And I really mean it. And I want to hear a question and I don't want to hear the 99 names of Allah.
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:18
			Because that's the usual answer. Who's Allah Semia? Who is Allah, Allah Halim? We all know that. Who
is Allah in your life?
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:22
			And I really need an answer. Yes.
		
00:10:24 --> 00:10:33
			Your Creator, as you're, how old are you? Five, at a five year old, this is amazing. And a five year
old,
		
00:10:34 --> 00:10:45
			beautiful. 10 years old, even nicer. Because if I 10 year old, I know, Allah is the Creator. Allah
is the Creator.
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:49
			Allah is the Creator, then this is not my phone.
		
00:10:51 --> 00:10:54
			This is Allah's phone, give it to me.
		
00:10:56 --> 00:11:15
			This is not my water. This is he gave it to me. So at this age, if every child, Muslim child,
wherever this he or she live, knows this, when are not very good start. Now I need the adults. Who
is Allah for you?
		
00:11:18 --> 00:11:21
			Who's he? I don't see a hand.
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:41
			That's the names of Allah. And I said, this is what I said, Don't give me the names. names we all
know in if I want to get into this detail, you will know how much we know it. But in reality, may
Allah forgive me? Number one, do I really know Allah is my Sustainer.
		
00:11:43 --> 00:12:04
			I'll give you an example. And I'm going to give an example related to woman if I believe in my
depth. In the bottom of my heart, Allah is the sustainer then when I leave an interview, and they
didn't give me the job, why do I say they didn't give me the job because of A and B and C and D.
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:13
			My name is Muhammad. I wear hijab, they didn't like my accent, or I didn't graduate from this or
that. Why?
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:23
			That I know Allah is the sustainer. But I'm not practicing this is the first thing should come out
of my mouth is what? My Sustainer
		
00:12:24 --> 00:12:28
			did not want to give me the sustenance through this job.
		
00:12:30 --> 00:12:36
			Did you all get what I'm trying to say? So back again, Who is Allah for you?
		
00:12:38 --> 00:12:42
			And where do you want to be with him? In Ramadan?
		
00:12:43 --> 00:13:05
			There is people they will not be able to come to Tarawa. Simply they work night shifts, they work
night shifts. And this is their source of income, they're not going to quit. They have to take care
of family. Islam tells me they need to work. So these people going to be less than me. If Allah
wants me to attend tarawih
		
00:13:07 --> 00:13:08
			so who is Allah?
		
00:13:10 --> 00:13:11
			Anybody?
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:14
			Yes, please.
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:18
			Okay, I'll take it.
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:29
			Allah has everything for us. I love it. Allah I will add one word if you allow me. I will say Allah
should be.
		
00:13:30 --> 00:13:33
			Should be everything for me.
		
00:13:35 --> 00:13:35
			Should be
		
00:13:37 --> 00:13:38
			is it true?
		
00:13:41 --> 00:13:43
			Really, every single minute?
		
00:13:44 --> 00:13:52
			Again, I'm not I'm not questioning you. May Allah make you stronger. Could you be I don't know you.
But I'm talking in general.
		
00:13:53 --> 00:14:12
			Is Allah everything for me? Is Allah before my job? Allah before my college, Allah before my family,
Allah before my beauty, Allah before my career, Allah before my arrest, Allah before food, Allah
before my coffee.
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:16
			Allah is before my wealth. Yes.
		
00:14:17 --> 00:14:22
			If that's how it is for everybody of us, we will never disobey.
		
00:14:24 --> 00:14:26
			We will never we should be.
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:57
			But we are human. We have desires in our daily life. If you look around us, and when you start
thinking and looking inward, not outward, that people inward at me and yourself. I'm going to see in
my daily life, I'm feeding everything before I feed my relationship with Allah. Am I right?
		
00:14:59 --> 00:14:59
			Am I right?
		
00:15:01 --> 00:15:06
			24 hours a day, but he moves seven hours you sleep
		
00:15:07 --> 00:15:19
			and even the sleep can be for a lot but let's just leave it right so you have 17 hours. How much of
the 17 hours is for Allah? Now again told me my work is a bad
		
00:15:20 --> 00:15:27
			right everybody knows this word. Because it justify a lot of what I do. Excellent. Is it true?
		
00:15:28 --> 00:15:38
			Absolutely it can be. But is it really my work is a bada in every bit in every moment in my job, I
Don't disobey Him.
		
00:15:39 --> 00:15:50
			Then it becomes absolutely after for ship in everything. Everything it is time for my break. I look
at my watch. No, there's two more minutes. He's watching me.
		
00:15:53 --> 00:16:01
			I am going for a meeting. And I don't want to go for the meeting. And I'm gonna say You know what? I
got stuck in traffic. Are you stuck in traffic?
		
00:16:04 --> 00:16:40
			Did you see my point? Who is Allah for you? And what is your relationship? You need to know it now?
It's absolutely fine. If I'm going to say your law and I say this a lot of the time you will know
how weak I am. And you know how far I am from you. And you know how much I really want to get close
to you. Your Allah helped me that's beautiful. But I need to start before I get to Ramadan. And in a
second have come to Ramadan. I need to know where am I? And where do I want to be? And how Ramadan
will help me
		
00:16:42 --> 00:16:50
			I don't want this Ramadan to be the habitual Ramadan I call it the usual again.
		
00:16:51 --> 00:17:07
			And I don't want it to be something that will not change me. Ramadan is you don't what they call
Ramadan. There's so many parables, what they say about Ramadan in your relationship with people from
Allah should be like say you know Yusuf with his brother's
		
00:17:11 --> 00:17:33
			you've come to Ramadan, forgive everybody. Don't worry about what they did to you. And hamdulillah
ALLAH is forgiving me every minute, I'll forgive everybody throughout the whole Ramadan. That's
going to be my motto. And I believe Ramadan, I go to aid and I'm so happy seeing everybody, nothing
in my heart against anyone. And I'm like a new born person.
		
00:17:34 --> 00:17:35
			That's one of the goals of from Allah.
		
00:17:37 --> 00:17:41
			If I go through this, then I learned who's Allah.
		
00:17:43 --> 00:17:55
			I'll take you through one of the names. And then see how when I know the name one, I'm going to
change one of the names of Allah is Allah for all forgiving. Everybody knows that right?
		
00:17:57 --> 00:18:03
			Do I practice this character of Allah? subhanaw taala in my daily life?
		
00:18:04 --> 00:18:07
			Am I forgiving everybody?
		
00:18:08 --> 00:18:17
			For no reason they don't deserve it. Because that's when you talk to people. And you say forgive
him, forgive her. They didn't mean it. But they don't deserve it. I'm not talking about deserve.
		
00:18:18 --> 00:18:24
			I deserve to be a person who forgive. Because Allah forgave me.
		
00:18:26 --> 00:18:29
			How many of us have missed federal solder in your life?
		
00:18:31 --> 00:18:33
			But he's still feeding me.
		
00:18:34 --> 00:18:41
			And he's still giving me the house I want and the child I want and the masjid I want. Do I deserve
it?
		
00:18:42 --> 00:18:43
			Do I deserve it?
		
00:18:45 --> 00:18:46
			But he gives it to me.
		
00:18:47 --> 00:18:51
			So why can I not do it with people for him?
		
00:18:52 --> 00:18:55
			That's the relationship with Allah if you know who he
		
00:18:57 --> 00:19:06
			is, you know who's Allah, everything else becomes. I don't want to say insignificant, but I will say
less significant.
		
00:19:07 --> 00:19:23
			less significant. I'm not like never, ever should come out of my mouth, let alone in Ramadan. What
people will say about me, it should be what Allah will say about me. When you are standing here in
Cairo we
		
00:19:24 --> 00:19:25
			are there
		
00:19:26 --> 00:19:45
			and you came early. And you sat there and you want to enjoy it. And then the masjid becomes so
crowded and you for some reason Allah made you look at the door or make you look at the door and you
see somebody came in and that person is dying to get in and looking. What do you get up and give
your place to that person?
		
00:19:50 --> 00:19:52
			Everyone looking at me What is she saying?
		
00:19:54 --> 00:19:56
			Because if I know Allah has Karim
		
00:19:58 --> 00:19:59
			if I know Allah is it can you
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:14
			Am I know it? I don't know it, I know it. Allah is the generous, the real generous, then I'm going
to say, Let them come. And then of course Shaitan in me is going to call and say, Well, we're going
to pray.
		
00:20:15 --> 00:20:50
			And immediately I'm going to say, the Karim, or find me a place, people will look at you and says,
You're crazy. There is not a single place outside. If I know who's Allah, I'm going to say that
Kareem will reward me whether I prayed it here, or a pray that there are operated outside what I
went home and prayed it because he knows I gave it up for him, not because I know you or I love you,
or you helped me or you're my neighbor, or people will say she's generous. I gave it only for him.
		
00:20:52 --> 00:20:54
			That's the relationship that should be
		
00:20:55 --> 00:21:09
			the relationship with Allah is not you're going to be in that corner. We're going to be here and
you're going to pick up your Quran and you're going to read it and it's going to be the Hummer race,
as I call it. Oh, how many how many times you finished Quran five times? Oh, I did seven.
		
00:21:10 --> 00:21:12
			And you have no idea what you're right.
		
00:21:13 --> 00:21:21
			And didn't move you a bit at a single should notice a single drop of a tear you should
		
00:21:22 --> 00:21:26
			not because the imam is reading beautifully, but because you felt it.
		
00:21:27 --> 00:21:37
			You felt it when Allah says yeah, a baddie, my servant has move you do you ask yourself, Am I a
body? Am I the servant of Allah?
		
00:21:39 --> 00:22:00
			Deeper. My beautiful sisters and my dear brothers, we need to dig deeper. We need to move from this
custom casual, Ramadan custom casual fasting custom casual stairway the imam is reading qualia a bad
year Latina as truffle Allah unforeseen and I'm in the bag attire and I'm sipping my coffee.
		
00:22:01 --> 00:22:06
			This is not Ramadan. This is a habit. And Quran did not yet penetrate your heart.
		
00:22:08 --> 00:22:24
			Penetrate to our hearts it should. Me Allah and Ramadan. Who am I? How I'm gonna get into Ramadan in
what's happened Allah Subhana Allah vs Robbia
		
00:22:26 --> 00:22:28
			he's going to look at me and says Wow.
		
00:22:29 --> 00:22:33
			Versus he's going to look at me and says, till when?
		
00:22:34 --> 00:22:50
			When will I see the change? How many Ramadan I will give you? How many massages? I'll give you how
many lectures I'll give you how many Imams and when give me a deadline. Imagine Allah say this. What
I'm going to say?
		
00:22:52 --> 00:22:52
			Nothing.
		
00:22:53 --> 00:22:55
			Because there's no excuse.
		
00:22:56 --> 00:23:33
			So knowing who you are, and definitely know Allah subhanaw taala or mark other Allah Hakata well are
both called Jamie and Kubla to who Yama Yama was similar to Matsuya to nbme. For sure Allah said
this three places in the Quran, same start marcada Allah haka cadre, they didn't know the real value
of Allah, or who is he? Or they did not honor Him the way He should be honored three times he said
it. And every time he followed it by a statement that if I really read the Quran should have moved
me completely.
		
00:23:34 --> 00:23:41
			When I entered this masjid, and again, everybody, do I feel this is his house?
		
00:23:42 --> 00:23:44
			Or its i o see?
		
00:23:45 --> 00:23:52
			I see oh, why are Rama center Garden Grove names? Or it is his house?
		
00:23:54 --> 00:24:10
			There's a huge difference. When I say a house versus your house, let me know when I say your name.
No, no, no, no, this is not this. It is faultiness house. And if you only know what that mean,
you're telling somebody
		
00:24:11 --> 00:24:31
			come in the masjid with the reverence. It is his house. It is his house. Like say, you know, Zayn
loggedin binnorie The great grandchild of La soiree salatu salam, when he made will do people look
at him, and they see his face changes.
		
00:24:32 --> 00:24:33
			Why it's old.
		
00:24:35 --> 00:24:40
			And they asked him, why your face changes changed, its will do.
		
00:24:42 --> 00:24:50
			And his answer is the person, the servant of Allah, who knows who's Allah? And he said,
		
00:24:51 --> 00:24:58
			looked at them and says, Do you know between whom I'm going to stand
		
00:25:01 --> 00:25:20
			Do you know between whose hand I'm going to be standing that Salah for him? So now for you and me is
duty Alhamdulillah I prayed total and then I go out and I speak for hours with whoever I am seeing
		
00:25:21 --> 00:25:30
			or in the massage that they do 20 Aerocart and I leave after eight because it is not the Sunnah. And
then I go out and I start talking that's the Sunnah
		
00:25:33 --> 00:25:34
			we need to change
		
00:25:35 --> 00:25:45
			we need to welcome Ramadan and I am maybe not yet in a different state but for sure I want to be
different.
		
00:25:46 --> 00:25:50
			You need to name Ramadan for you in a different name
		
00:25:52 --> 00:25:55
			for example, I sinned a lot last year
		
00:25:56 --> 00:26:07
			and I'm going to say your Allah I want this Ramadan for me to be Ramadan McPhee era I want this
Ramadan to be the Ramadan that you will forgive me.
		
00:26:08 --> 00:26:30
			And when I say it, I mean it. And I'm going to do it which means I'm going to be very different from
everybody else. Or this is going to be the Ramadan of orba This is the Ramadan that is going to get
me close to Allah and I mean it which means I'm going to do things very different. Very different.
		
00:26:31 --> 00:26:38
			So here you go. Who are you learn about Allah? And what is Ramadan?
		
00:26:39 --> 00:26:40
			Why Ramadan
		
00:26:41 --> 00:26:43
			in our daily talk What's so special
		
00:26:45 --> 00:26:53
			What's so special? Let me ask you all of you. What's your special everybody is now counting the days
when is Ramadan coming? Why?
		
00:26:54 --> 00:27:11
			I am asking why what's so special? Anybody from the youth here on mashallah, all of you? What's so
special? Why you're waiting for Ramadan? Let's say I'm non Muslim I look at instead what is the big
deal? It's another month. What are you gonna tell me as a Muslim?
		
00:27:13 --> 00:27:17
			Why Ramadan? What's so special? Anybody just see anything?
		
00:27:18 --> 00:27:19
			I'm sorry.
		
00:27:23 --> 00:27:44
			I'm looking for Allah reward. Okay, now think I am I know nothing. I'm not even a Muslim. And I was
like, What is this wherever I go people talk about this month. What's so what's the big deal? What
are you going to tell me? What you will tell me is what you feel. What you will tell me is what it
means for you. So what is it?
		
00:27:45 --> 00:27:46
			Ramadan? What is it?
		
00:27:47 --> 00:27:57
			month I'm gonna fast and I was like, Oh, we fast do so many other people fast differently. But
what's so special about it? Anybody? Yes, please?
		
00:28:05 --> 00:28:06
			Okay
		
00:28:17 --> 00:28:23
			brother Isa, can we have another mic? Because I want everyone to hear it. Do we have another mic?
		
00:28:26 --> 00:28:30
			Because this is what I wanted to hear. May Allah reward you?
		
00:28:31 --> 00:28:42
			Because the word is not only what he said, it's the way you said it. And this is something we all
have to pay attention. It's not only what we say. It's how we say it is it's coming from is
truthful.
		
00:28:43 --> 00:28:56
			Or it's something I read somewhere. Or just something I memorized my mom taught me. I looked it up
and I found it and I liked it or I really felt it. So it is the creator of everything.
		
00:28:57 --> 00:29:08
			The one who can choose whatever he wants to choose. It's mine, not mine. He chose this as special.
And if I'm wrong, correct me. He chose this a special month
		
00:29:09 --> 00:29:15
			to give it to special people to make them special. At the end of it.
		
00:29:18 --> 00:29:22
			Right, we have it yet. Please repeat it because you said it's way better than I did.
		
00:29:24 --> 00:29:25
			But this is one of the ways
		
00:29:27 --> 00:29:28
			that I remember.
		
00:29:29 --> 00:29:32
			We're about to find out. This Smilla
		
00:29:34 --> 00:29:35
			Allah rasool Allah,
		
00:29:37 --> 00:29:41
			the Creator, who has created everything,
		
00:29:42 --> 00:29:45
			chooses special things from among his creation.
		
00:29:46 --> 00:29:59
			He has chosen from among the people, special people, for example in has made them prophets. He is
the creator of time, and he chooses special times and he grants them
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:25
			blessing in their special to him. So we look forward to this time because the Creator has designated
it as a special time. And as such, we're seeking that reward in the special blessing from him in
this special time. So it's the creator of everything, chose a time of the year, time of the day time
of the night and made it special.
		
00:30:26 --> 00:30:35
			who disagree with this statement? Or who agree with this statement? Show me hands because I'm going
to ask you a follow up question. Now everybody put their hand up.
		
00:30:37 --> 00:30:39
			Why this statement is very true.
		
00:30:40 --> 00:30:44
			Because he said it in the Quran. What did he say?
		
00:30:45 --> 00:30:48
			Levy owns it if you hear Quran
		
00:30:49 --> 00:30:54
			the month of Ramadan is the month that the Quran was sent down? Why not another month?
		
00:30:56 --> 00:31:36
			Can Allah have if Allah wanted couldn t send it in Hajj? They'll hedger, shebang, why? And what is
the Quran? Again, change it to the words of Allah, it will make you feel different. It's not the
Quran, of course it is. But to me, it's the words of Allah that he chose to be sent down in this
month. Meaning you are, let's say, cooking or baking a beautiful cake, right? Or you want to buy a
special, beautiful car.
		
00:31:37 --> 00:31:41
			But you want to make it even more special. So you're going to choose what
		
00:31:42 --> 00:32:00
			or let's say your children wants to buy you the car and you always want it so they decide, You know
what, Father's Day or Monday daddy doesn't work and he usually are very relaxed. And when he see
that surprise, he's going to be even happier. Did you get my point? So Allah chose Ramadan on a
spiritual level.
		
00:32:01 --> 00:32:14
			And nobody asked why Ramadan? I have no, I can't even ask the question. Because who am I to ask
Allah why you do this or don't do that. But what is he telling me? It is very special.
		
00:32:15 --> 00:32:22
			I chose that he Subhana to send my word. Right. And why
		
00:32:23 --> 00:32:28
			and why? Why did Allah send me the Quran? Y'all know to guide me it's in the verse.
		
00:32:29 --> 00:32:46
			So here I am wondering, Milan comes in the day, tomorrow when we all look for the announcement. I'm
not gonna say okay, hamdulillah Ramadan, tomorrow, I'm going to be fasting lovely. I'm going to be
going to the masjid I'm going to be spending a while after all, we is all beautiful. They didn't
change us.
		
00:32:47 --> 00:32:54
			Because as I start singing, after 30 days of fasting, tarawih, Oran, they will fade.
		
00:32:55 --> 00:32:58
			See what happened? I need to say, aha.
		
00:33:00 --> 00:33:09
			He gave me another opportunity. As the Hadith the shift started with the person who died in Jihad
and the person who lived one year longer.
		
00:33:10 --> 00:33:32
			And that's why the Sahaba used to say Allahumma by looking at Ramadan, six months before Ramadan,
they make this dua your Allah make me live till I see Ramadan and everybody should do this. Don't
you guarantee you will see it? Can anyone guarantee I'm going to be here day one praying tarawih
		
00:33:33 --> 00:33:34
			only He knows
		
00:33:35 --> 00:33:42
			your Allah Lama Bolivianos Ramadan, and you see it and you mean it? First? Second?
		
00:33:43 --> 00:33:51
			What is your to do list with Allah in Ramadan different than anybody else?
		
00:33:53 --> 00:34:01
			I don't want you to tell me I'm going to again fast to read Quran, Tarawa Hamdulillah. But what is
it special, you're going to do this Ramadan
		
00:34:02 --> 00:34:08
			and up with this, because we will need to get ready for Asia. There are three kinds of people who
fast
		
00:34:09 --> 00:34:24
			three kinds, you will read it in the books of spirituality They say people so lajuan the fasting of
the general the ordinary and there is the fasting of the special people.
		
00:34:25 --> 00:34:47
			Soul will have us and there is the fasting of the special of the special. So how acid houses are is
this is clear to everybody. hamdulillah what is the difference between this what is these names?
Everybody is fasting. Everybody is not eating from this time to this time. What is the difference?
These are three levels.
		
00:34:49 --> 00:34:59
			So Milan, I'll give it to you, everybody, those who will abstain from food, drink intimate
relationship
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:13
			If from this time to this time, right, everybody and if you are not fasting because you have an
excuse, then you are wisdom. Because if you can, you would have done it easy. Yes.
		
00:35:14 --> 00:35:22
			What is those special they will do more than the first group to make them special.
		
00:35:24 --> 00:35:40
			So everybody again think of this Masjid in another three weeks when you come in and look around you
I do this every time I'm in Mecca and Ramadan, especially before they fall. And I say Allah all
these millions have fasted, who's different?
		
00:35:41 --> 00:35:49
			Who special and everybody is in Makkah everybody's doing Salah with the Imam everybody did tawaf,
Yanni, all these acts external.
		
00:35:51 --> 00:36:01
			So the fasting of the special, what do they do differently? Add to the what the base is, what is it?
Who can tell me?
		
00:36:03 --> 00:36:04
			Yes, please.
		
00:36:06 --> 00:36:06
			I'm sorry.
		
00:36:09 --> 00:36:11
			Say too loud, I'll be I'll translate
		
00:36:15 --> 00:36:20
			with your heart, elaborate, because these are actions.
		
00:36:21 --> 00:36:33
			I have to do ABCD or not do ABCD and I'm going to have the fasting of the special. Now come to the
fasting, the special this special. Who can tell me this?
		
00:36:35 --> 00:37:07
			I'll give you a hadith of Roswaal risotto. Sam in sha Allah is going to explain it easy. And then
I'll come to it. Or Swati salatu. Salam was told that two women who were fasting, right, and they
start throwing up and blood came out from them. Right? And they went and said, they wanted to know
is their fasting valid or not? If I'm remembering the story, correct, correct me if I'm wrong,
Sheikh Mohammed. And then he said it and he was told,
		
00:37:09 --> 00:37:16
			why is something different? If I'm remembering? Well, because they are vomiting blood? What do they
do different?
		
00:37:18 --> 00:37:19
			Is everybody ready?
		
00:37:21 --> 00:37:26
			He was told that this woman well known to backbite.
		
00:37:28 --> 00:37:32
			And then the he said, Tell them Allah does not need their fasting.
		
00:37:35 --> 00:37:36
			This special fasting
		
00:37:38 --> 00:37:41
			when you stay away from all the sins?
		
00:37:43 --> 00:37:58
			What is the point? I came in here with acid 12 hours or ran to the masjid three hours I am here. And
as I entered, I looked and I found this woman next to me. And I was like, no, let me move to another
place. Why?
		
00:38:02 --> 00:38:03
			Why did I feel this way?
		
00:38:05 --> 00:38:14
			Because I think I'm better. And I want to go to and pray next to somebody else, that I think we have
more in common.
		
00:38:15 --> 00:38:18
			I'm arrogant. That's a major sin.
		
00:38:19 --> 00:38:24
			Let alone I look at you or you look at me, and we start talking about this. And that
		
00:38:26 --> 00:38:39
			song will help us win your tongue fast and your eyes fast and your ears fast and your hand fast and
your legs fast. And of course the private part.
		
00:38:41 --> 00:38:56
			What is the point you're fasting, and then after Iftar you sat on that couch and you start looking
at this thing on TV or that thing on social media or on online or I'm listening to this or listening
to that
		
00:38:57 --> 00:38:59
			you need to fast from haram
		
00:39:00 --> 00:39:02
			and I'm not talking about halal meat
		
00:39:04 --> 00:39:21
			or or halal or the beha which we are hamdulillah I'm talking about every haram thing. You come here
running to pray, whether Juma or fasting or tarawih and you blocked someone here.
		
00:39:22 --> 00:39:40
			And then you stay talking to your friend or you stay talking to your friend and there is a person
behind you needs to leave ASAP. And he or she or is stuck because of you. You just disobeyed Allah.
Because you hurt a believer
		
00:39:43 --> 00:39:56
			or somebody wants to pray and you want to focus these are very blessed days. And then you're talking
with your friend as there is nobody else in this Masjid but you let alone you're flipping on your
phone and she wants to focus in our sauna.
		
00:39:59 --> 00:40:00
			You want
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:02
			until the special soem
		
00:40:03 --> 00:40:09
			your heart has to fast your eyes, your ears, your tongue, your hand and your legs.
		
00:40:11 --> 00:40:24
			Now the special of this special hottie I mean if I Allah give it to me one day I want to die after
because that's when you fast from anything and everything other than Allah.
		
00:40:25 --> 00:40:45
			You're not going to be focused on what I'm going to eat for a for who I'm going to meet. What is my
plan for tomorrow? All the focus will be how Am I pleasing you? Am I doing the right thing helped me
Allah forgive me your OB even your DUA will be different because you will be focused on him.
		
00:40:46 --> 00:41:36
			If you are going to at least learn this, at least learn this. Beg him beg him and I didn't see as I
said beg him because this is very difficult to give me one day One day in this coming Ramadan. Too
fast of those the special of the special one day Allah then I hamdulillah then believe me when you
go for aid, you're a different person. I will end up with this story. I lived in Harlem where there
in the last time these were in a teacup and there was a woman in front of me I don't know the woman
in front of me or back behind me but anyway, I see her The woman then days her and the Quran Have
you ever Of course you can see she's reviewing nothing Salah stand up nothing nothing any nobody
		
00:41:36 --> 00:41:38
			talks to her she does sound the issue.
		
00:41:39 --> 00:42:23
			Ya Allah the day they said Tomorrow is aid and in when you are in Haram, they there is no
announcements, especially that time there was not even foams that was like about probably 15 years
ago. But how do we know it tomorrow is eight when there is no taraweeh there is no collateral am
your humble Kamala so we know tomorrow's aid. This woman, start crying. Wallah. He like she lost her
child. I couldn't believe it. I was in awe. I've never seen it in my life. ordinary woman. You look
at her you think I and you're all of us much better than her. She starts crying and she was just
looking at me and says in the Arabic language it's done.
		
00:42:24 --> 00:42:27
			This is as you're saying it's done hellos.
		
00:42:28 --> 00:43:10
			That's what I want a new want. That from alone will be different. Ramadan is my beloved coming.
Ramadan is my son who I haven't seen for 10 years. Ramadan is the house I wanted to buy for the last
30 years and I worked very hard and now they gave me the key and I'm gonna go in and may Allah
subhanaw taala give us the CRO BME May Allah Subhana Allah make us of those who listen to the words
of admonition and follow it and may Allah subhanaw taala make us able to practice what we learn. I
seek refuge in Allah, tidy mind your firm and I forget him and may Allah subhanho wa Taala for I
have said anything correct? It's from Allah and Allah only if I have said anything that is not
		
00:43:10 --> 00:43:23
			correct. It's from me my ignorance and the impact of shaitan and my neffs on me, may Allah subhanaw
taala make us live to see Ramadan and may Allah Subhana Allah forgive all our sins Subhanallah homo
