Hamza Yusuf – Ramadan – A Demon-Free Zone

			Bismillah R Rahman Rahim wa salam alaykum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh Allahumma salli ala Sayyidina
Muhammad wa ala alihi wa sahbihi will send them to steamer. First of all, I just want to inshallah
say on behalf of zaytuna College, the faculty, the staff, the students, board of directors, and
myself Ramadan, Mubarak challah to everyone. And we're entering into a demon free zone in sha Allah
and it's one of the great blessings of this ummah, that Allah subhanaw taala gave us shahada
Ramadan, Allah the wounds of fear Quran, who didn't illness you will be in a two minute hotel for
Ken So this is a great blessing and we have chosen as our theme, the healing aspect of this month.
		

			It's both a physical healing as we know now, even our modern science has shown how beneficial
intermittent fasting is, but also healing for the hearts the Quran reminds us well known as zero
minute Quran, Maha Shiva, Ramadan and Momineen. Wherever you see the Vitamina Illa Hazara Allah
subhanaw taala says we reveal piecemeal 10 zeal here is in pieces, we reveal this Quran as a
healing. And in that way, it's the dosage of the Quran. And this is why every believer should have a
daily portion. This is the medicine you take it's in, in our system of medicine, we have what are
called maintenance doses. For people that have chronic illnesses, well, the diseases of the heart
		

			are always at our door. And so the idea of having a daily dose of the Quran is the maintenance dose
for the soul to keep it protected and to constantly be healing the heart. So we here as a turnout
are very appreciative of the immense support that has been shown by all of you and so we just want
to say on behalf of everyone Ramadan Mubarak, and also a reminder inshallah for this Ramadan to
really try to be as focused as possible with the free time that you have on devotion to Allah
subhanho wa taala, Anna, the recitation of the Quran, the night prayers are very important. All of
these things are really, really important aspects of the month. It's a Yemen do that. They're very
		

			quick days that go by, and So may Allah subhanho wa taala, to give all of you the benefit of these
days, and also a reminder that this is a time when the doors of heaven are open. It's one of those
special times the doors are always open, but there's a special opening that occurs in this month.
And so our Prophet said a dua dua, sila Holdeman, that supplication is the weapon of the believer.
So it's very important that we supplicate on behalf of beleaguered peoples, wherever they are, the
the Muslim ummah is really in many places, just going through great difficulty. I think all of us
have been in pain spiritually and and emotionally when we see the extraordinary barbaric attacks and
		

			assaults on the people of Gaza, the civilian population, the death tolls, we ask Allah Subhana Allah
and inshallah to give these people the martyrdom that they deserve. And we Inshallah, I hope for
hope that this month will be a month of healing, but also a month that brings peace, where there's
war,
		

			peace, where there's conflict, healing, where there's illness, and joy and gladness where there's
sorrow, so just akmola Heron was salam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato.
