Haifaa Younis – Ramadan Series Day 09 – The Month of Worship

			Salam Alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh one of the names of Ramadan that has been given by the
scholars is the month of obedience Sha, Sha, Sha hula
		

			and what is obedience? And why Ramadan is called this so let's look at our daily life in Ramadan at
hamdu Lillahi Rabbil alameen most of the Muslims fasting Of course some are not for reasons unless
fantana allow them not to. So the first act of obedience he told me, Allah cookie Valley camassia
fasting has been prescribed on you so I am obedient to Allah subhanaw taala number two is again
majority of the people if not everybody is so keen do their best to do extra Salah in Ramadan, Tara
with the Knights honor or even play emulate even more, most different out to everybody. Subhan Allah
are very charitable. So Allah ordered me but not made it as an obligation but made it as a highly
		

			recommended action is to perform Knights honor, as Swati salatu salam taught us when Alma Ramadan
imana wati seven the person who stand up in Salah in the night,
		

			out of faith and out of waiting for the reward from Allah ofera hamata coordinamento the previous
sins have been all removed except the major sins. So these are all acts of obedience charity,
everybody is very charitable in Ramadan, a lot of them personify we're gonna come to it later and
one of the names so what I am doing here, Allah told me worship me, and I and you and all of us are
obeying and I want to focus on one thing here is the month of obedience, the month of worship of
Allah subhanho wa Taala. And what is an act of worship? Because once we understand the act of
worship, a lot of the anxiety and worries many Muslims go through because they cannot do everything
		

			they want to do in Ramadan will be completely lifted. So la vida acts of worship, act of obedience
is basically defined in a manner even taymiyah defined it beautifully. And he said every
		

			kulu my head Wallah, everything Allah loves. Number one, everything a lot loves, mineral equality
will fall from actions and singing,
		

			external and internal, every word, every action, internal external, Allah loves, that's an act of
worship, I am obeying Allah. And this is going to make us look at acts of worship very different.
Because most of us look at act of worship obedience as basically prayer fasting, charity, the ones
I've mentioned in the beginning, which is absolutely right, it's in the first it's the external, but
there is a lot of actions that we can do internally in our hearts without changing anything
externally, the love of Allah, the fear from Allah, the hope in Allah, the removal of
		

			hate and the removal of grudges from our hearts to please Allah, these are all act of worship
charity Of course, it is act of force should be a rule holidaying, excellent treatment of the
parents are act of worship, whether they are alive, then that's a huge opportunity. Or they have
faster way than I can still do excellent job for them. An excellent act of worship for them by
praying for them making do out for them. So Ramadan is a month where I am in every breath in me, I
am in a state of obedience to Allah. And let us not forget the most important part or time of
Ramadan, which is the last 10 days and the heavy that we shared with you on the planet that Sade
		

			Ayesha had reported that he used to get tired he used to work much harder. He used to struggle much
more in the last 10 days way more than the before one and the act before meaning the days before. So
here I am and you in Ramadan couple of things I will learn from this name. Number one, the act of
worship to Allah pantalla the month of obedience is not necessarily only the external ones. So if I
am sick and I cannot fast I should know
		

			feel I am missing because there's many other things I can do. And I will be rewarded by Allah plus
the reward of not fasting because he told me to, and that's act of obedience. So the woman during
her menstrual cycle should not feel sad. And how is that a trauma bond? On the contrary, the month
of obedience is when I obey Allah in what he told me do and don't do. And he told me not to fast
when the woman or told the woman not to fast when it is her menstrual cycle. So when I am not
fasting in that state, I am obedient to Allah. And at the same time I have to look at many other
actions. I can do kulu my of Ebola, everything that a lot love, external and internal is an act of
		

			worship and act of obedience. So and if you all remember last year we did the whole 30 days about
actions of Allah Allah, Allah, Allah humble masini Allah loves those who act and speak and conduct
their life was excellence with generosity. A lot Love is a saw the king those who are truthful. So
in Ramadan, if I make a promise to Allah and I work hard, not to say but what is the truth, I am an
act of worship. It's an internal and I don't say anything but truthful. I am an act of worship, I am
obeying Allah. I don't say anything that is this obedient to Allah, language that does not please
Allah, I am obeying Him and the obedience of Allah and Allah told of us who is or to a sinner. And
		

			this is very important for us to learn after Ramadan is not only a normal bond, the act of obedience
to Allah spawn tada is constant till we die. And a lot older Rasul Allah has sought to sell what a
Buddha Rebecca had time to kill your pain, and worship your Lord, till the moment of death, till
death comes to you. And every creation of a law, human being
		

			Angel angels, every act, every other creation of Allah, the birds, the animals, the trees,
everything is in a state of obedience to Allah, in state of worshipping of Allah, we're in mission
in life said behold, there is nothing but in a state of glorifying Allah. That's an act of
obedience. That's an act of worship. So what the Ramadan teaches me from this name, that in every
breath, in every action I am doing in my day, I can make that an act of worship, I'm preparing food
for my family, that's an act of worship, if I do it, for the sake of Allah to please Allah in the
way pleases Allah, if I am working, because I need to support my family, if my work is pleasing to
		

			Allah, that my status or me inside my work is pleasing to Allah. That's an act of worship. So let us
all handled later on by this name. submit to Allah Subhana Allah will learn that we can obey Him in
way more than just fasting and prayer and giving charity although these are special, the fasting is
an obligation, but we can expand it. And if we cannot do that one or that one, there is a lot more
opportunity to do what I would rob Bhattacharya to actually attain and worship your Lord till death
comes to you. May Allah accept from all of us.
