for inviting me and I have to say you have a very good way of convincing people to join you as a
speaker that hamdulillah it was very tight day for me because I'm getting ready to travel for Umrah
		
00:00:41 --> 00:01:22
			but I just couldn't say no for this amazing opportunity. And it's only eight minutes or 10 minutes
which is true. So does that come Allah who hate what I wanted to talk about or my reflection is
actually from the Quran and from the idea that we are going to be hearing it again and again and
again. But it's always good to hear something again, but hear it with a different ear and with a
different heart, as I say. So the voice I'm going to share with everybody is the verse about fasting
and so it will walk you Halina Amman katiba equal Muslim come up with Ebola lithiumion publikum La
La Contacta con gonna start one by one all you who believe all believer you and me
		
00:01:23 --> 00:02:06
			could you barely consider fasting has been has become obligation cortiva is an obligation and one
other word of obligation usually used in the Quran, come up with the Valentina publikum as it has
been prescribed and be an obligation on the people before you LOL concept. So you may attain the
core. Two things three things in this verse and this is something for everyone. As we are reading
the Quran in getting ready to read the Quran with more focus on Ramadan is not going to be the first
time in sha Allah when we need to do again even if it was one ayah a day is you take the ayah and
then you try to underline some of the highlight the important words in that verse that Allah
		
00:02:06 --> 00:03:01
			subhanaw taala wants me to pay attention to it twice so I learn and this is actually one of the ways
that may Allah reward all my teacher taught us how to study Hadith and how to study the Quran. So in
here you're letting me know you want me so I am a believer, then Allah is talking to me directly is
not indirectly. So what is he telling me? Could you body okay, a cm fasting is become an obligation.
Why? That's the question. So I said fasting okay, why? Now this is the most important Lala content
taco so you may attain taco and may Allah Allah con in the Quranic language is not. So you will make
it a choice. It is actually that's the reason. That's the reason. So here I am. Number one goal in
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:44
			Ramadan, it's always good to put goals, practical ones, and let's raise the bar. It's Ramadan, and
as shutaura just shared and the shayateen are chained. So it's only me and me. That's what I say to
myself. So taqwa and I need to raise the bar. I'm not going to fast like I fasted yesterday. Like I
fasted, I'm sorry, last Ramadan, I'm not going to fast. The same way I fasted, let's say last
Monday, or when I made up the days I have to make up. This is going to be Ramadan fasting. So that's
the goal. This fasting is going to be different, in which way I am going to change.
		
00:03:45 --> 00:04:36
			From the beginning to the end, I wake up, I already made my intention. I stopped eating and
drinking, I am a fat, I am Muhammad. I am Sarah, as the day goes by, and I'm fasting and are
struggling. And you all know, especially in the beginning, or at the end, when we get exhausted, no
much, not much left in me sometimes we say. And as I am going through this process of jihad process
of struggle for no other reason, other than he told me, it's an obligation. Nobody, no Muslim fast
in Ramadan for any other reason than Allah subhanaw taala said so. Which is amazing, actually. Then
I need to say he wants me to be on a tepee. The fact and this is really good for everybody. The fact
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:59
			I am fasting, I'm already on my topic, because I'm not eating and drinking. And no one has seen me
except him. I can easily tell everyone, I'm fasting. And then when I go close the door I can eat. So
here I am. What is it? What is it? What Turkic what is the person of taqwa? What is it? What is it
you are Allah conscious and many
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:52
			Many, many definitions of Taqwa. But one of the ones I really love, which is called No, Habib, he
says is you act by or you do an act of worship of Allah or an act of obedience, based upon the light
of Allah meaning what he told me and I want his reward. That's what I am doing. I am not eating or
drinking, because he told me to do and I want the reward. So I'm already on my turkey. However, what
level I am, am I see? Am I be? Am I a? Am I a plus? Am I the best? So my goal, I'm starting with
Taqwa don't want anyone to think that you know what you don't know what I have done before. And what
what Ramadan is going to do to me? No, you're fasting Hamdulillah. And even for those who cannot
		
00:05:52 --> 00:06:38
			fast, you still get the same thing. Because if you were able to fast you would have fast. And that's
why Allah subhanaw taala gave you another form of worship. For those who can't fast, like a chronic
reason. It's basically you you pay the video or the money. So taqwa, I started in the morning, I
held food, drink, and marital relationship. Of course, this is the basic. Now I am talking because
nobody else is seeing me. But what do I want to do in that? I want to raise the bar, increase,
increase, increase, and I want to be a plus and I'm going to take you through stages. May Allah
Subhana Allah give it to us. Scholars of the heart teaches you.
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:41
			There's three levels of fasting.
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:45
			A CRM with Earth, meaning,
		
00:06:46 --> 00:07:33
			CRM will one everyone I'm not going to eat, I'm not going to drink and there is not going to be a
marital relationship or intimate relationship during the time of fasting. That's everybody. Now my
fasting is correct. I'm with Turkey. I am an entry level of Taqwa. Now, I want to improve. So what
should I do? Now the second one CM will house I'm going to fast. The first thing of the special you
know that leads people you know when you get something that you are special, they get you from a
certain door, or they will serve you differently, or they speak to you differently in dunya your
special VIP. I'm going to want to be a VIP with Allah subhanaw taala why not? Why not? We are we all
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:39
			want to be special. But my special this time I want to be special with ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada.
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:43
			So Yamaha was those people?
		
00:07:44 --> 00:08:34
			Your OB I mean, make everyone, everyone every Muslim, at least this level, every sense in me, going
to be fasting from the disobedience of Allah. My eyes will not look at anything not pleasing to
Allah. My ears will not hear anything that is not pleasing to Allah, my mouth, my tongue will not
uttered a word. But what pleases Allah subhanaw taala. Again, I'll do my best of try. I'm not an
angel. This may not happen day one, day two, but that's my goal. I keep looking at my goal. And I
say where am I? Where am I? Of course, the private part. My leg is not going to walk to anywhere
that's not pleasing to Allah. My hand is not gonna write. Good not gonna write text, right? post
		
00:08:34 --> 00:09:06
			anything but pleasing to Allah. Now I moved from the ordinary fasting to the special fasting,
imagine 30 days training camp. Every day. You're about to write something and you say I'm fasting in
Islam and fasting, I'm not going to do this. I want to be special on a VVIP with ALLAH SubhanA wa
Tada, I'm not going to do that. And then you're on the computer or doing your work, something comes
up and you just closed lower your gaze and then you moved it. Now your your eyes fasted, same thing
with the ear.
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:09
			Now the third one,
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:59
			this is not easy, but I say this to myself before anyone. Nothing is impossible for Allah Medallia.
Kawakubo Aziz Madico Allah Hibiya Azeez I keep reminding myself, nothing is hard and impossible for
Allah subhanho wa Taala nothing. He can look at me. He can look at you look at us and he says, You
know what? They really wanted us give it to them. And that's by itself. When I ask Allah to help me
by itself is an act of worship your law. Please give me the VVIP now I'm going to call it the real
VVIP you're flying on a private jet now. Now you are going to be absolutely entering from a
completely different door. What is that your law? So Yamaha schoolhouse as they call it? The fast
		
00:09:59 --> 00:09:59
			thing
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:41
			You have this special of the special See, like 1000 people become 500 Here is less than 1% I'm gonna
say it, let's all make dua, may Allah make it happen, that's when my heart will fast also. So the
first one my mouth, my mainly my mouth, my stomach and the private part, second one is the rest of
the senses. Third one plus these two now my heart will fast and this meaning, thoughts, feelings
will have nothing but what pleases Him and about him?
		
00:10:43 --> 00:11:33
			Nothing but whatever pleases Him and about him. I got upset with someone, I keep thinking, No, I'm
fasting the VVIP I am not your law, please forgive them. Your love please make me patient, your
Allah into sub O Allah Who are the one who is who is the patient and the owner of patients, the
giver of the patient give me You are the one that all forgiving make me Forgive my heart focus and
thought will be all around Allah subhanho wa Taala not easy, but not impossible. If I put it as a
goal, and I'm going to move from the ordinary to the VIP, and then I want to be the VVIP and Allah
knows I'm sincere. And Allah knows I'm trying. And Allah knows, I put all my effort, he will never,
		
00:11:33 --> 00:12:22
			I say this with full certainty he will never let me down. May Allah subhanaw taala make us all of
those who are the VVIP so will colossal How was the special of the special European last thing I
want to say as you go through the verse, and the next and the next, a Yama and MA do that. Pay
attention to this word. It's only if Allah said few days, days that you can count it's only 30 days,
I am not going to die. If I did not look at her, I am not going to die. If I held my or I protected
my ear from anything that's not pleasing to Him. I am not going to die. If I guarded my heart, a
Yemen medulla, keep reminding yourself, you're going to say I'm tired. This is getting too hard.
		
00:12:22 --> 00:13:07
			Remember for us living in the West, life doesn't change. Work stays the same school stays the same.
Many of our students may Allah make it easy for them have exams, everything stays the same. But
Allah is above all this. So a yam on Mondays I keep telling yourself it's only a few days, only a
few days, not much left, keep going and a lot we make it easy. A Yemen my blessings and Allah
subhanaw taala also goes then chakra Madonna Lady onzie Rafi Quran that's another underlying
Ramadan, the month, the month of the Quran, I have to have a different relationship with the Quran,
I am not going to say do this and do that everyone is different, but I have to this is what you have
		
00:13:07 --> 00:13:55
			to tell yourself in your list. I have to have a special relationship with the Quran. This Ramadan is
going to be different. I finished half Jews last year, I'm going to do wonders this year, I did five
cut my class to you. I'm going to do seven, I understood one page, I'm going to do three pages. I am
going to graduate this year to a higher level. I want to be VVIP this year VVIP in my soul in my
fasting VVIP in my relationship with the Quran. When it gets hard and difficult, I keep reminding
myself it's few days, not much left. And then the last one you read a lot you read a lot will become
really useful. When you read you become a lot also remember this, Allah wants the east for you and
		
00:13:55 --> 00:14:40
			he doesn't want the difficulty for you. That means Allah will make it easy. This is easy. He used
it. It's not my word. It's his word. He said it you read a lot will be commonly used. So when I get
tired when it gets very hard, I can go to taraweeh it's 20 it's long. I keep saying it's he's going
to make it easy. He said you he wants is for you and push yourself and then the finale. Now we are
talking about Ramadan, and in three days it will be like this. And remember this, too will be like
this, and you're going to hear the announcement of a tomorrow or took muted so you finish the month.
