			Assalamu alaykumu rahmatullahi wa barakatuhalhamdulillahi
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:03
			rubulalameen.
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:05
			We are getting
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:08
			closer and closer to the end of Ramadan.
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:10
			As some scholars will say,
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:16
			The majority of it has passed. However,
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:20
			the best part is still there. Insha'Allah, today
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:22
			is the 20th day of Ramadan,
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:25
			and this night will be the night of
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:25
			21st,
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:28
			which Allahu Alam could be one of the
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:31
			nights of Laylatul Qadr, the night of decree.
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:32
			Rasool
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:36
			alaihis sunnah was actually he
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:37
			went to Atikaf
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:39
			in the Masjid
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:41
			and completely disconnected
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:43
			from this duniya.
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:47
			For us, alhamdulillahi rabbalamin, whoever can do that,
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:48
			that's khair,
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:50
			but it's very understandable and Allah knows that
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:53
			not everybody can do that. But the most
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:55
			important thing is what we do. The focus
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:57
			should be for everyone
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:59
			is acts of worship,
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:02
			pleasing Allah Subhanahu Ta'ala,
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:05
			doing way more. And one of the hadith
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:07
			that the Sayed 'A' is generated that when
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:07
			the
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:10
			10 days or the last 10 nights of
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:10
			Ramadan
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:15
			entered, Arasul 'ala sallam did 3 things. He's
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:16
			up all night.
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:17
			Waaykaba'allah.
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:19
			And he woke up his family, wushaddamizra,
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:21
			and he tied
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:24
			his garment around his waist. It has many
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:25
			meanings.
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:26
			One of the meaning is that he's going
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:27
			to be
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:28
			more vigilant,
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:31
			doing way more than the usual. Another meaning
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:34
			that he will be staying away from his
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:34
			family,
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:37
			his wives. That meaning he's gonna be completely
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:40
			focused on obeying Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. Another
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:43
			hadith also by Saida Aisha, She said she
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:45
			has never seen a Rasool, alayhis salatu wasalam
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:48
			fasting a month total other than Ramadan
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:50
			and staying up all night
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:53
			in one night other than Ramadan and reading
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:56
			the whole Quran in one night except in
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:58
			Ramadan. Alhamdulillahi rubulalmi
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:01
			it's coming, starting tonight, let's all make the
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:01
			resolve.
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:03
			Ask Allah
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:07
			to give us the ability, the energy,
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:10
			the focus to do the best of and
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:12
			take the advantage of this. And don't forget,
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:15
			these 10 nights has the best night later
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:17
			at Al Qadr. Khayr Rum Nen al Fishaar.
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:21
			It's better than 1,000 months. Basically, it's like
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:22
			83
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:25
			years worship in 1 night. Let's all work
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:28
			on it. Most probably it's in the odd
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:30
			nights 21, 23rd, 25th, 27th,
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:33
			20 9th, Allah knows. But usually the best
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:35
			way to do it is
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:37
			focus on these nights,
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:40
			move away anything that is not necessary.
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:43
			Ask Allah to help. Don't forget dua. Don't
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:46
			forget reading more Quran, standing up longer in
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:49
			nights, and don't forget praying for each other
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:51
			and for the ummah. And may Allah subhanahu
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:53
			wa ta'ala give us the best. Ameen.
