00:00:00 --> 00:00:02
			The first 10 days of Dhul Hijjah teaches
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:02
			me
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:04
			that I need to
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:08
			look at what pleases Allah
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:11
			before anything else. There is no days the
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:12
			good deeds
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:13
			more valuable
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:16
			and more beloved in the sight of Allah
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:18
			than these 10 days that is gonna come
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:21
			including going to Hajj or not going to
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:23
			Hajj. And they asked him walal jihad if
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:25
			he said billillah. Not even if I go
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:27
			now, I go for jihad,
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:30
			Right? Is it this not even this is
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:33
			better than me obeying Allah in the first
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:34
			10 days of the hijrah? And he said
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:37
			no. Unless someone goes for jihad, comes back
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:39
			dead. Didn't come
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:40
			back. Dead.
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:43
			So you everybody in this room and everyone
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:46
			with me online, you have this opportunity to
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:48
			go to Hajj and you didn't go anywhere.
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:51
			Hajji as we say Hajji bi kalbaki
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:54
			do the Hajj with your heart. So you're
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:55
			gonna say,
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:58
			oh, they arrived. Now they said Labayk Allahu
		
00:00:58 --> 00:00:59
			Malabayk.
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:02
			Meaning, I have to say
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:06
			meaning they removed
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:07
			halal
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:09
			from their life for the next,
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:12
			let's say, 6, 7 days, I'm gonna do
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:13
			this here.
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:16
			Whatever you like so much,
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:18
			I'm not gonna say remove it all because
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:20
			you're not trained to this yet,
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:21
			but make it less.
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:26
			2nd, indeed, those 10 days, every good deed
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:27
			you can do.
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:30
			And we're gonna divide the good deeds to
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:31
			2 things easier
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:34
			for you to think and remember. Number 1
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:35
			with Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:39
			Everyone in this room who fasted Ramadan
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:42
			should fast these ten. It's actually 9 days
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:44
			because the Eid you are not supposed to
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:47
			fast. And I said should, may Allah forgive
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:48
			me, it is not an obligation.
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:50
			But if I wanna read
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:53
			to Karam Bi Al Tabba, I really want
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:55
			Allah to be pleased with me and for
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:57
			one reason or the other, he did not
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:59
			invite me for Hajj. I'm submitting to the
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:00
			will that you don't want me to go
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:02
			to Hajj, but I'm doing Hajj in my
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:05
			home, and I'm doing Hajj in my city.
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:05
			Fast.
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:08
			And don't tell me why should I. Don't
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:10
			tell me it's 12 or 16 hours. You
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:12
			fasted last year, and it wasn't you.
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:14
			The year before, it was in July.
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:16
			How did you do?
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:19
			So number 1, fasting, and it would be
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:22
			extremely nice for everybody to invite people for
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:22
			Iftar.
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:25
			Do it don't do only Monday Thursday,
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:28
			And I'm not saying you shouldn't, but I'm
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:31
			really moving you up because don't feel jealous,
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:34
			although you can. In this one, you can
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:36
			feel just from those who are going to
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:39
			Hajj. Because I am gonna people come back
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:41
			and says Hajjumabru, look at them and says
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:41
			Hajjumabru.
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:45
			I did it with my heart. So fasting,
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:46
			your salah,
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:47
			everybody
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:50
			young and old can't be in these 10
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:52
			days exactly what you did in Ramadan.
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:54
			In fact,
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:56
			these scholars debated,
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:59
			big huge debate if you go and read
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:00
			about it. Which one is better?
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:03
			The last 10 nights of Ramadan, the last
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:06
			10 days of Ramadan, or these 10 days?
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:08
			Do you do you know that?
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:10
			Right? Which one?
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:13
			Which one? Is it the the last 10
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:16
			days of Ramadan? All of them? Or these
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:17
			first 10 days is 10?
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:19
			10 days of the Hijjah.
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:23
			Many this many said
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:24
			the Hijjah.
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:26
			Imagine. Why?
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:31
			Oh, just a why? Raise your hand. Why?
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:41
			These 10 days are the 10 first 10
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:41
			days.
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:45
			Now the other group said, yeah, Allah said
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:46
			that, but Allah also said,
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:51
			And
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:53
			is in the last 10 nights.
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:55
			So which one is better?
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:58
			They came and reconciled it. Let's say that
		
00:03:58 --> 00:03:59
			days
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:02
			of the 10 days of the Hijra Hijra,
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:04
			the days are better,
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:06
			and the nights of the Ramadan
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:07
			are better.
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:10
			If you missed things in the last
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:13
			10 nights of Ramadan, whatever the reason,
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:15
			that's fine. Allah gives us
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:17
			opportunities,
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:19
			and your opportunity is next week.
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:23
			So you do good deeds. You're gonna try
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:26
			your best to fast, all of them, especially
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:30
			no way you will miss it. I'm saying
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:32
			this unless you're sick or you have an
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:34
			excuse not to do it, and that is
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:35
			Arafa.
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:38
			You fast the day of Arafa, the sins
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:40
			of the year before and the year to
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:41
			come is forgiven.
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:44
			You know what is deen? You know what
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:47
			they call this deen? And Ahmed made it
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:50
			so complicated, of course. They said this deen,
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:52
			the quality of it or the the the
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:54
			what makes it
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:55
			unique
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:58
			that we do little, and Allah give us
		
00:04:58 --> 00:04:59
			a lot.
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:05
			So I fast one day, one day
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:07
			and Allah forgive before and after of course
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:09
			except major sins.
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:12
			So here you go, I'm gonna fast. You
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:13
			tell yourself from now,
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:15
			like and remind yourself you did it in
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:17
			the Ramadan, then you can do
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:18
			it. Your salah,
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:23
			every extra salah you can do. Don't do
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:24
			just the fa'ud, run away.
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:27
			You missed it. Again, Allah is not gonna
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:30
			have anything extra but it is me I'm
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:31
			missing it. Charity,
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:36
			good deeds, any other good deed.
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:38
			Now you come with people, how the biggest
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:40
			problem, of course.
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:42
			With people,
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:44
			forgive everybody.
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:48
			And and I always say this to myself,
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:50
			I don't wanna hear what you don't know
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:51
			what they did. I know.
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:53
			I say this to myself.
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:55
			Still forgive
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:57
			them because I wanna go to Jannah,
		
00:05:57 --> 00:05:59
			and I want my Hajj
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:01
			inside my house to be Hajjum Abruur. There
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:03
			is no Hajjum Abruur even when you go
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:06
			there, and you still have this garages inside
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:07
			you against somebody.
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:09
			At all.
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:12
			Forgive people.
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:15
			Pardon people. Control this.
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:20
			Live these 10 days with the following hadith,
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:21
			one of the strongest
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:22
			languages Rasool alaihi salatu
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:23
			wasalam
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:25
			used in a hadith
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:32
			Say good or stay quiet.
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:35
			I I don't wanna say that the the
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:37
			slang word we use these days,
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:40
			like literally in the Arabic language meaning stay
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:40
			quiet.
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:43
			And this is an order.
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:46
			Qulul Khayr is an order, order from Rasool
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:47
			alaihi salatu sam is an obligation.
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:49
			I'm not gonna make fun of people,
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:52
			I'm not gonna be teasing people for no
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:52
			reason.
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:54
			I'm not gonna say she is this or
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:56
			he is that. That's not in the 10
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:57
			days of the Hijjah
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:00
			because I don't know if I'm gonna be
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:02
			living to see the 10 days let alone
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:03
			next year.
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:05
			If you today leave today
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:07
			and say You Allah I learned things I
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:08
			didn't know,
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:12
			Alhamdulillah You taught me and I'm gonna do
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:13
			my best to do it and You are
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:17
			really Sadiq Ama Allah You're really truthful in
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:19
			what you are saying, and tomorrow you die
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:21
			or tomorrow I die,
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:23
			I will be resurrected as if I did
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:24
			it all
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:27
			because I am truthful, and he knows I
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:28
			am.
