Haifaa Younis – Do Your Best in Each of the Best 10 Days of Dhul-Hijjah

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.
