			Allah
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:40
			Muhammad
		
00:00:58 --> 00:00:59
			All praises to Allah,
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:01
			all praises to Allah,
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:03
			all praises to Allah, all praises to Allah
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:04
			who guided us to this,
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:07
			who guided us to Islam and to iman,
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:09
			and to his Mubarak house on this Mubarak
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:12
			hour of this Mubarak day of this Mubarak
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:14
			month, and we were not to be guided,
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:16
			was it not that Allah had guided us?
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:19
			Oh, Allah, to you is praised as his
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:21
			commensurate with the majesty of your countenance and
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:22
			the greatness of your authority.
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:24
			Oh, Allah, we do not limit you with
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:26
			any praise we can come up with ourselves,
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:28
			rather we admit that you are the only
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:29
			one who knows the true extent of your
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:30
			praise worthiness.
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:34
			And may the peace and blessings of Allah
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:34
			be
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:36
			upon his servant
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:38
			upon his servant and messenger,
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:41
			our master Sayyidina Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:43
			May the peace and blessings of Allah
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:47
			be upon him, and upon his noble companions,
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:50
			and upon his pure wives, and upon his
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:52
			Mubarak and blessed family and progeny, and upon
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:54
			all of those who follow all of their
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:55
			way until the day of judgment.
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:00
			It's the fatha of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:02
			and the grace of Allah ta'ala that we
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:04
			should reach this Mubarak hour,
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:07
			This Mubarak hour of Jum'ah in the last
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:08
			10 days of Ramadan,
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:09
			nonetheless.
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:11
			It's very possible
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:13
			that this is going to be
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:16
			the last jumu'a that we will have in
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:17
			Ramadan.
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:19
			Next Thursday night,
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:22
			we will go and we will await the
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:24
			reports of the moon sighting, we will try
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:26
			to see the moon ourselves, and we await
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:28
			the reports of the moon sighting. And if
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:30
			the moon is sighted
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:32
			in this continent or in this hemisphere,
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:35
			then Eid will be next Friday,
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:37
			and the blessing of Ramadan
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:39
			will be over.
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:41
			We will no longer fast as a mass,
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:43
			as a group. Some of us will fast
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:45
			individually, but as a group, we will no
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:46
			longer fast.
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:49
			The shayateen will no longer be chained up,
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:51
			we will no longer have the salatul taraawih
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:52
			in the masjid.
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:54
			We will no longer have this blessing with
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:56
			us, and life will go on as
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:57
			usual,
		
00:02:57 --> 00:03:00
			as life must go on, as everybody cannot
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:03
			fast every day, this is not the commandment
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:04
			of Allah and there are other things we
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:06
			have to finish in our life before we
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:07
			pass from this world.
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:09
			But the blessing of Ramadan will be over,
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:11
			and then those who took advantage of it
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:13
			will have taken advantage,
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:15
			and those who want it back will not
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:17
			be able to have it back until next
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:20
			year, and nobody is guaranteed next year, not
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:23
			myself, not yourself, not the old amongst us,
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:25
			not the young amongst us, not the rich
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:28
			amongst us, not the poor amongst us. So
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:30
			it behooves us for the couple of moments
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:32
			that are left in the rest of this
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:34
			day to take as much advantage as we
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:36
			can. This Mubarak Jumu'ah,
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:38
			the best day upon which
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:41
			the sun has risen. This Mubarak Jumu'ah,
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:42
			the day that
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:45
			will call all of his creation again once
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:46
			more for judgment.
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:49
			This Mubarak Jumu'ah, in which there's a
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:51
			there's a moment
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:52
			that Allah
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:54
			gave to this in which
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:57
			its duas are to be answered. Make du'a
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:58
			that Allah
		
00:03:58 --> 00:03:59
			makes us amongst the faizin,
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:01
			that he makes us amongst those who enter
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:04
			Jannah without hisaab, that he forgives us our
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:06
			sins, that he makes us amongst those that
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:07
			he accepts.
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:10
			Because Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, once he accepts
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:12
			a person and once he is pleased with
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:15
			a person, there's nothing in the creation afterward
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:17
			that can touch that person. And it doesn't
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:19
			have to do with you and me, brothers
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:21
			and sisters. You and I are not worthy
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:23
			of acceptance. It has to do with Allah
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:23
			ta'ala.
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:26
			You and I may love Allah ta'ala, but
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:28
			if he doesn't love us back, it's worthless,
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:30
			brothers and sisters. It has no worth whatsoever.
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:33
			Ask in this Mubarak hour that we receive
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:34
			the love of Allah
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:37
			so that he can accept us. Then the
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:39
			day we enter Jannah, then the day of
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:41
			judgment, then the day we die, then the
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:43
			day we achieve whatever we achieve. All of
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:46
			those days become irrelevant in front of this
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:48
			day, brothers and sisters. All of it is
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:50
			possible on this day. Allah ta'ala's hand is
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:51
			outstretched
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:54
			to give to his creation. Whoever is there
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:56
			to ask, is there somebody to ask him?
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:58
			Is there somebody to ask him? Or all
		
00:04:58 --> 00:05:00
			all of us right now busy thinking about
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:03
			buying and selling and trading and cars and
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:04
			houses
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:05
			and and other,
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:07
			you know, what we're gonna eat in iftar
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:09
			tonight and what we're gonna do, you know,
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:11
			when Ramadan is over and what we're going
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:12
			to do when we run away from the
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:15
			masjid at the first opportunity possible. Brothers and
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:18
			sisters, this is not a opportunity to waste.
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:20
			Not only that, not only is this the
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:23
			Mubarak day of Jum'ah, not only is this
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:25
			the Mubarak day in this hour in which
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:26
			this hour of Istijaba,
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:28
			in which this hour of Ijaba
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:30
			exists, in this hour of god answering the
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:33
			prayers of his believing servants.
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:36
			Not only that, but on top of that,
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:39
			this is the last couple of days of
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:39
			Ramadan.
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:40
			Masha'Allah,
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:43
			the first three nights from the last 10
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:45
			days of Ramadan have passed.
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:48
			And in fact, 10 days may very likely
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:48
			be
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:51
			9 days. If the moon is
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:54
			sighted on Thursday night, what will happen? The
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:57
			last 10 days of Ramadan will be 9
		
00:05:57 --> 00:06:00
			days. The Sahaba radiyaaa ta'ala anhu were a
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:03
			people unlike you and I. The Sahaba Radhiyahu
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:05
			ta'ala Anhoom would pray that the moon is
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:07
			not sighted so that they could fast another
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:10
			day, pray another day, and have another day
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:11
			of the blessings of Ramadan.
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:14
			In fact, they were they were almost want
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:16
			to be delinquent to even sight the moon
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:18
			out of fear that the moon would be
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:19
			sighted early and that they would miss a
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:20
			day of Ramadan.
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:22
			Because of this, the messenger of Allah sallallahu
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:24
			alaihi wa sallam
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:26
			made his statement that
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:32
			that the 2 months of the 2,
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:34
			they're not they're not to be deficient in
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:37
			any way. Meaning what? Even if it's 29
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:38
			days, even if these 10 days become 9
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:39
			days, Allah will give every person from this
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:47
			umma, an amount of reward that is prorated
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:49
			for that extra day that they had missed,
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:51
			just so that people would not feel so
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:52
			that they would not feel huzun, so that
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:54
			they would not grieve or worry because they
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:55
			missed the potential day of Ramadan, brothers and
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:56
			sisters.
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:02
			So they would not worry and grieve because
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:04
			of the qadr of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:06
			So this is something that we need to
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:07
			take into account.
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:08
			This Ramadan
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:11
			is something like everything else.
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:14
			It's a hadith of Sahih Bukhari in which
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:17
			the messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:19
			said, all matters are to be judged by
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:22
			the way that they end. All matters are
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:24
			to be judged by the way that they
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:26
			end. Just like a believer will be judged
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:28
			based on the state that they died in.
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:29
			If someone
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:32
			died in the obedience of Allah Subhanuwa Ta'ala,
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:35
			Allah will judge them as one of the
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:38
			obedient. If someone died in faith, Allah Ta'ala
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:40
			will judge them as one of the faithful.
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:41
			And if someone's soul is taken,
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:45
			if the angel of death comes and takes
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:47
			a person's soul and they're engaged in an
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:49
			act of rebellion or their heart is in
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:50
			a state of blackness
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:54
			from Kufrin, from disbelief, and from ingratitude to
		
00:07:54 --> 00:07:56
			the lord, just like that, Allah, subhanahu wa
		
00:07:56 --> 00:07:58
			ta'ala, if they take them in that state,
		
00:07:58 --> 00:07:59
			then it's not a good end. It doesn't
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:01
			matter what good things a person did in
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:03
			their life at that point. We all seek
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:05
			a good end. May Allah ta'ala give all
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:06
			of us
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:09
			and the of every we ask Allah
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:12
			to give a good for every every deed
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:15
			that we do. The of Ramadan, brothers and
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:16
			sisters,
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:16
			happens
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:18
			when? On the day of when
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:21
			the people gather together, but there are some
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:24
			prerequisites for that. As we mentioned last year,
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:26
			and we'll mention again and it's worthy mentioning
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:28
			again.
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:32
			Allah ta'ala says remind the
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:42
			Suratul
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:08
			Indeed
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:10
			indeed successful is the one who has purified
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:11
			himself.
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:15
			Successful is the one who has purified himself,
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:17
			the one who has purified herself
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:19
			and mentioned the name of their lord and
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:22
			then stood in prayer. The tafsir of this
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:24
			according to imam Malikirajama'a
		
00:09:24 --> 00:09:27
			from the salaf radiAllahu ta'ala Anhu is that
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:30
			the tazeki that's referred to here is the
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:31
			zakatul fitr.
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:33
			Do you not see that the messenger of
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:34
			Allah sallallahu
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:37
			alaihi wa sallam had made farth on this
		
00:09:37 --> 00:09:40
			ummah had made farth on this ummah. The
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:43
			sida of Farb, the sida of Amr, both
		
00:09:43 --> 00:09:45
			of them come in the Athar of the
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:48
			messenger of Allah salallahu alaihi wasallam.
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:50
			That he made fard on this ummah and
		
00:09:50 --> 00:09:52
			he made wajib on this ummah, the payment
		
00:09:52 --> 00:09:55
			of zakatul fitter. Do you not see it?
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:56
			It comes in the author of the prophet,
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:59
			salallahu alayhi wa sallam, that this
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:01
			zakatul fitter
		
00:10:01 --> 00:10:02
			was legislated.
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:05
			How? As a tuhrah talisaimi
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:06
			minallahuwihwarrafat,
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:09
			as a tuhrah.
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:11
			The word we give for the obligatory
		
00:10:11 --> 00:10:12
			for the obligatory
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:16
			charities of Islam is what? Zakat. And what
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:19
			does mean? It doesn't mean charity. Charity the
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:20
			word for charity is what? Sadaqa.
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:24
			What does zakaat mean? Zakaat literally means a
		
00:10:24 --> 00:10:24
			purification.
		
00:10:25 --> 00:10:27
			And the legislation of the zakatul fitr is
		
00:10:27 --> 00:10:28
			what?
		
00:10:31 --> 00:10:34
			The one who was commanded to abstain from
		
00:10:34 --> 00:10:36
			eating and from drinking. The one who was
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:39
			commanded to abstain from the shahawat of the
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:41
			private parts. The one who was commanded to
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:42
			abstain
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:44
			from those things that make the eyes filthy,
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:47
			those things that make the ears filthy,
		
00:10:47 --> 00:10:49
			those things that make the limbs filthy,
		
00:10:50 --> 00:10:51
			those things that make the,
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:54
			the the the stomach and the private parts
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:55
			of a person filthy.
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:58
			Those people who were commanded to abstain from
		
00:10:58 --> 00:11:00
			those things that make the heart filthy.
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:02
			Why is it haram to look at the
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:04
			haram? Because the eyes are a road to
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:06
			the heart. Why is it haram to listen
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:08
			to the haram? Because the ears are a
		
00:11:08 --> 00:11:10
			road to the heart. Why is it haram
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:13
			to eat the haram? Because the stomach is
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:15
			a road to the heart. Why is it
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:17
			haram to walk to the haram or to
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:20
			touch the haram? Because those things are a
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:23
			road to the heart, and Allah ta'ala described
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:23
			in his book,
		
00:11:24 --> 00:11:25
			the day of judgment as,
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:33
			That is a day that neither will your
		
00:11:33 --> 00:11:36
			money benefit you. Doctors and engineers, businessmen,
		
00:11:37 --> 00:11:39
			your money won't benefit you.
		
00:11:40 --> 00:11:43
			Preachers and teachers, your money won't benefit you.
		
00:11:44 --> 00:11:46
			People, if you have a job, your money
		
00:11:46 --> 00:11:48
			won't benefit you. And if you don't have
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:48
			a job,
		
00:11:49 --> 00:11:51
			this this day this day may give you
		
00:11:51 --> 00:11:53
			difficulty on that day. It's not going to
		
00:11:53 --> 00:11:55
			make a difference to you whether you have
		
00:11:55 --> 00:11:56
			money or not.
		
00:11:59 --> 00:12:01
			If you don't have sons, if you don't
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:03
			have a big posse and a crew with
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:05
			you when you go, when you roll around
		
00:12:05 --> 00:12:07
			like a hoodlum or like a gangster, it
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:10
			won't matter. Call all of your crew. Allah
		
00:12:10 --> 00:12:11
			ta'ala tells Abu Jahl,
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:13
			Jahal,
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:17
			Call all of your posse, call all of
		
00:12:17 --> 00:12:20
			your gang. You're gonna you're gonna threaten somebody?
		
00:12:20 --> 00:12:20
			Call all of you. You're gonna threaten the
		
00:12:20 --> 00:12:20
			messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam? Call
		
00:12:20 --> 00:12:21
			your posse, call
		
00:12:25 --> 00:12:28
			call your crew, call your gang, call your
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:31
			IMF and World Bank, call your your United
		
00:12:31 --> 00:12:34
			Nations and NATO. Call every army in the
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:36
			world. Call all of them to gather against
		
00:12:36 --> 00:12:36
			Allah subhanahu
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:41
			Let him call everyone that he wishes to
		
00:12:41 --> 00:12:42
			call.
		
00:12:42 --> 00:12:43
			We're
		
00:12:44 --> 00:12:46
			calling the angels that guard the gates of
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:46
			the hellfire.
		
00:12:47 --> 00:12:49
			Who's going to fight that fight brothers and
		
00:12:49 --> 00:12:49
			sisters?
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:50
			That day,
		
00:12:54 --> 00:12:56
			that day, neither your crew is going to
		
00:12:56 --> 00:12:58
			help you, neither your sons are going to
		
00:12:58 --> 00:12:59
			help you nor is your wealth going to
		
00:12:59 --> 00:13:00
			help you.
		
00:13:03 --> 00:13:05
			Except for the one who comes to Allah
		
00:13:05 --> 00:13:06
			ta'ala with
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:09
			a intact heart, with a pure heart, with
		
00:13:09 --> 00:13:12
			a clean heart, with a whole heart. Why
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:14
			were all of these things made haram? Because
		
00:13:14 --> 00:13:17
			they all are inroads to the heart. This
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:19
			zakatul fitr is what? Which one of us
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:22
			kept the fast in this holy month in
		
00:13:22 --> 00:13:23
			such a way that our heart was untainted,
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:26
			that it didn't think haram? It didn't think
		
00:13:26 --> 00:13:28
			an act of rebellion or an act of
		
00:13:28 --> 00:13:29
			impurity against the lord
		
00:13:30 --> 00:13:31
			Everybody
		
00:13:33 --> 00:13:34
			everybody
		
00:13:35 --> 00:13:36
			If you're one of those people, then make
		
00:13:36 --> 00:13:38
			dua for me. Everybody
		
00:13:39 --> 00:13:42
			had some sort of dilution or some sort
		
00:13:42 --> 00:13:45
			of impurity mixed into their heart into the
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:48
			sacred month. But don't fear, Allah ta'ala's mercy
		
00:13:48 --> 00:13:50
			is there to help you. You are not
		
00:13:50 --> 00:13:52
			perfect, you fall short, Allah ta'ala will give
		
00:13:52 --> 00:13:54
			you the tools that you need to make
		
00:13:54 --> 00:13:55
			it through this life, to make it through
		
00:13:55 --> 00:13:56
			this
		
00:13:56 --> 00:13:58
			to make it through this Ramadan, to make
		
00:13:58 --> 00:13:59
			it through this fast.
		
00:14:00 --> 00:14:02
			So he legislated the zakatul fitr as a
		
00:14:02 --> 00:14:03
			fard, as an obligation.
		
00:14:04 --> 00:14:07
			The inward reality is what? You give $8,
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:09
			you give $10, you put it in the
		
00:14:09 --> 00:14:11
			Manila envelope and drop it in the box.
		
00:14:11 --> 00:14:13
			It doesn't go to the masjid. It doesn't
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:15
			pay me. It doesn't pay the light bills.
		
00:14:15 --> 00:14:18
			It doesn't pay the whirling fans. What is
		
00:14:18 --> 00:14:20
			the zakatul fitter? It's a
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:24
			It is
		
00:14:24 --> 00:14:25
			a a purification
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:29
			for the one who fasted from those things
		
00:14:29 --> 00:14:31
			that they did in the fast that were
		
00:14:31 --> 00:14:34
			irrelevant to the fast, as well as the
		
00:14:34 --> 00:14:34
			indecency
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:37
			that went through the tongue, and went through
		
00:14:37 --> 00:14:38
			the eyes and the ears, and that passed
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:40
			through the heart of the person who is
		
00:14:40 --> 00:14:40
			fasting.
		
00:14:41 --> 00:14:43
			This is a way of purifying it that
		
00:14:43 --> 00:14:44
			you take out this
		
00:14:44 --> 00:14:46
			blessing from Allah to Allah and you say,
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:49
			I return this blessing because I did something
		
00:14:49 --> 00:14:52
			around another to not deserve it. And what
		
00:14:52 --> 00:14:53
			is the outward meaning of this?
		
00:14:56 --> 00:14:58
			And it is a way to feed the
		
00:14:59 --> 00:15:01
			the the person who is poor, the person
		
00:15:01 --> 00:15:03
			who is completely broke. And
		
00:15:03 --> 00:15:06
			others relate that the messenger of
		
00:15:08 --> 00:15:10
			Allah said, in as many words,
		
00:15:13 --> 00:15:16
			your brothers and sisters who are poor, because
		
00:15:16 --> 00:15:18
			the id is for them and it's for
		
00:15:19 --> 00:15:20
			us as well, that those of us who
		
00:15:20 --> 00:15:22
			Allah has given wealth. It's for all of
		
00:15:22 --> 00:15:24
			us. It's for all of
		
00:15:24 --> 00:15:25
			us. The deen is egalitarian.
		
00:15:26 --> 00:15:28
			There is no one in the deen that
		
00:15:28 --> 00:15:30
			is elite because of their money or because
		
00:15:30 --> 00:15:33
			of their lineage or because of their birth.
		
00:15:33 --> 00:15:35
			The only elite person in this deen is
		
00:15:35 --> 00:15:37
			who? It's the one who has fear of
		
00:15:37 --> 00:15:39
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala in his heart.
		
00:15:45 --> 00:15:47
			Verily, the most honored and noble amongst you
		
00:15:47 --> 00:15:48
			in the sight of Allah
		
00:15:49 --> 00:15:51
			is the one who has the most taqwa.
		
00:15:51 --> 00:15:54
			Verily, Allah ta'ala is all knowing and well
		
00:15:54 --> 00:15:55
			informed of what you do.
		
00:15:56 --> 00:15:57
			So what is this what is this
		
00:15:58 --> 00:16:02
			zakatul fitr? It's there inwardly to purify you,
		
00:16:02 --> 00:16:03
			and outwardly,
		
00:16:03 --> 00:16:05
			what is it for? So that your brothers
		
00:16:05 --> 00:16:08
			and sisters, there are people in the that
		
00:16:08 --> 00:16:10
			are sitting with you right now, that you
		
00:16:10 --> 00:16:11
			pay your bills and they're not able to
		
00:16:11 --> 00:16:14
			pay their bills, that you buy good food
		
00:16:14 --> 00:16:16
			for yourself and your family, and they're not
		
00:16:16 --> 00:16:17
			able to buy good food for themselves and
		
00:16:17 --> 00:16:20
			for their family, that you you own your
		
00:16:20 --> 00:16:21
			houses and they don't own their houses.
		
00:16:22 --> 00:16:24
			They're not even able to pay the rent.
		
00:16:24 --> 00:16:26
			There are many brothers and sisters that would
		
00:16:26 --> 00:16:28
			have loved to be in Jumuah right now,
		
00:16:28 --> 00:16:30
			but they don't have gas money. And even
		
00:16:30 --> 00:16:32
			if they did, it would be irrelevant because
		
00:16:32 --> 00:16:33
			they don't own a car and they live
		
00:16:33 --> 00:16:35
			on the other side of town. This is
		
00:16:35 --> 00:16:37
			something that exists. There are people like that
		
00:16:37 --> 00:16:39
			all over the world right now. There are
		
00:16:39 --> 00:16:40
			people who will dig through the garbage in
		
00:16:40 --> 00:16:43
			order to have their iftar. There are people
		
00:16:43 --> 00:16:44
			like that all over the world, and there
		
00:16:44 --> 00:16:46
			are people like that in your city right
		
00:16:46 --> 00:16:48
			now also who cannot afford these basic things.
		
00:16:48 --> 00:16:50
			The Eid is for them as well. So
		
00:16:50 --> 00:16:52
			you pay the zakatul fitr, it doesn't go
		
00:16:52 --> 00:16:54
			to me, it doesn't go to the masjid,
		
00:16:54 --> 00:16:56
			it doesn't go to the board members or
		
00:16:56 --> 00:16:59
			to the president or to paying bills. It
		
00:16:59 --> 00:17:01
			goes to your brothers and sisters who are
		
00:17:01 --> 00:17:03
			in need so that the aid can be
		
00:17:03 --> 00:17:04
			an aid for them as well as it
		
00:17:04 --> 00:17:06
			is an Eid for you and I. Allah
		
00:17:06 --> 00:17:08
			ta'ala said in his book,
		
00:17:11 --> 00:17:13
			verily successful is the one who
		
00:17:13 --> 00:17:16
			purifies, the one who pays this zakatul fitter.
		
00:17:18 --> 00:17:20
			How do you go to the
		
00:17:20 --> 00:17:23
			The sunnah of going to the is how?
		
00:17:23 --> 00:17:24
			To turn on the radio,
		
00:17:25 --> 00:17:27
			to put on your favorite tape. Say, Sheikh,
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:28
			don't jump
		
00:17:29 --> 00:17:31
			on my back. I don't listen to music.
		
00:17:31 --> 00:17:33
			I put in a nasheed tape. Okay. You
		
00:17:33 --> 00:17:35
			put in a nasheed tape. You put in
		
00:17:35 --> 00:17:36
			your favorite reciter.
		
00:17:36 --> 00:17:38
			Even as much as the virtue of reciting
		
00:17:38 --> 00:17:39
			the Quran
		
00:17:39 --> 00:17:40
			is. Right? The sunnah on the day of
		
00:17:40 --> 00:17:42
			Eid, when you go to the Musalla of
		
00:17:42 --> 00:17:44
			Eid, is not what? It's not to listen
		
00:17:44 --> 00:17:46
			to the Quran or to recite the Quran.
		
00:17:46 --> 00:17:47
			It's what? This takbir,
		
00:17:58 --> 00:18:00
			That you repeat this Takbeer over and over.
		
00:18:00 --> 00:18:03
			There are several different narrations of it whichever
		
00:18:03 --> 00:18:05
			one you prefer, you can recite
		
00:18:05 --> 00:18:08
			That you recite the magnification of the praises
		
00:18:08 --> 00:18:08
			of Allah
		
00:18:10 --> 00:18:12
			and you recite the hamd of Allah
		
00:18:13 --> 00:18:15
			the praises of Allah because this day is
		
00:18:15 --> 00:18:18
			a special day. What is the step? The
		
00:18:18 --> 00:18:20
			first thing is that the the person who
		
00:18:20 --> 00:18:22
			is successful is the one who pays the
		
00:18:22 --> 00:18:24
			fitter. And then on the day of Eid,
		
00:18:24 --> 00:18:27
			when you're going to the of Eid, instead
		
00:18:27 --> 00:18:29
			of chit chatting in the car, the sunnah
		
00:18:29 --> 00:18:30
			is to walk for those who are able
		
00:18:30 --> 00:18:31
			to walk.
		
00:18:31 --> 00:18:34
			But if you're not able to walk, chit
		
00:18:34 --> 00:18:36
			chat instead of chit chatting in the car,
		
00:18:36 --> 00:18:37
			say the say the Takbir.
		
00:18:38 --> 00:18:40
			You're the father of a family,
		
00:18:40 --> 00:18:43
			say the You're the mother of children, say
		
00:18:43 --> 00:18:45
			the The sunnah is for the men to
		
00:18:45 --> 00:18:47
			say it out loud, not screaming, but to
		
00:18:47 --> 00:18:49
			say it out loud. And the sunnah for
		
00:18:49 --> 00:18:51
			the sisters is what? To say it silently
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:53
			to themselves. Let your children see that you
		
00:18:53 --> 00:18:55
			practice the sunnah of the messenger of Allah
		
00:18:55 --> 00:18:58
			sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. Or are you embarrassed
		
00:18:58 --> 00:19:01
			that somebody might see you? Brothers and sisters,
		
00:19:01 --> 00:19:04
			somebody is seeing you. Allah ta'ala sees you.
		
00:19:04 --> 00:19:06
			Allah ta'ala sees you.
		
00:19:13 --> 00:19:15
			Allah sees you on this day of celebration.
		
00:19:15 --> 00:19:17
			This is the sunnah of the messenger of
		
00:19:17 --> 00:19:20
			Allah and his pure companions radhiyallahu ta'ala Anwum.
		
00:19:20 --> 00:19:23
			Come like this. Allah ta'ala even bears witness
		
00:19:23 --> 00:19:25
			to the beauty of this action and of
		
00:19:25 --> 00:19:27
			this practice in the Quran. What does he
		
00:19:27 --> 00:19:28
			say? He says,
		
00:19:29 --> 00:19:31
			successful is the one who takes out the
		
00:19:31 --> 00:19:32
			zakat.
		
00:19:34 --> 00:19:36
			Then he mentions the name of his lord,
		
00:19:36 --> 00:19:38
			meaning he makes the thikr, the stakbir on
		
00:19:38 --> 00:19:39
			the way to Eid.
		
00:19:40 --> 00:19:40
			Eid.
		
00:19:41 --> 00:19:43
			And then he prays the salah to Eid.
		
00:19:48 --> 00:19:50
			Indeed, you you you you prefer the life
		
00:19:50 --> 00:19:53
			of this dunya. You prefer the material of
		
00:19:53 --> 00:19:55
			this world. If I were to say I'm
		
00:19:55 --> 00:19:56
			going to give a $1,000,000
		
00:19:57 --> 00:19:57
			after
		
00:19:59 --> 00:20:00
			the after the to anyone who waits for
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:02
			an hour, everybody would be here. The one
		
00:20:02 --> 00:20:04
			who is not going. Right? You know, you're
		
00:20:04 --> 00:20:05
			supposed to make
		
00:20:05 --> 00:20:06
			you're supposed
		
00:20:06 --> 00:20:07
			to you're supposed
		
00:20:08 --> 00:20:11
			to encourage people to give to the poor.
		
00:20:11 --> 00:20:12
			People will grab the one who's leaving. The
		
00:20:12 --> 00:20:14
			person will say, I'm going to my job.
		
00:20:14 --> 00:20:15
			Say, listen, Akhi. Stay here. You won't even
		
00:20:15 --> 00:20:17
			need a job after this. Right? You won't
		
00:20:17 --> 00:20:19
			even need it. At least for several years,
		
00:20:19 --> 00:20:20
			you won't need a job. Just stay. Don't
		
00:20:20 --> 00:20:22
			worry about it. You'll get another job before
		
00:20:22 --> 00:20:24
			then. Encourage one another. But if I were
		
00:20:24 --> 00:20:27
			to say what? That there is going to
		
00:20:27 --> 00:20:28
			be a darsa of the hadith of the
		
00:20:28 --> 00:20:30
			messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. That
		
00:20:30 --> 00:20:32
			we are going to explain a page from
		
00:20:32 --> 00:20:34
			the book of Allah ta'ala, the tanzil that
		
00:20:34 --> 00:20:36
			came from above the Saba Asamawat and the
		
00:20:36 --> 00:20:37
			Arshadim.
		
00:20:37 --> 00:20:39
			I'm going to explain a hookum from the
		
00:20:39 --> 00:20:42
			sharia, from the sacred sharia of Allah ta'ala
		
00:20:42 --> 00:20:44
			and his messenger, sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. Not
		
00:20:44 --> 00:20:46
			many people would stay. A good number of
		
00:20:46 --> 00:20:48
			people would stay. Not many people would stay,
		
00:20:48 --> 00:20:51
			brothers and sisters. Allah knows this. He's
		
00:20:51 --> 00:20:51
			a
		
00:20:53 --> 00:20:56
			You prefer the the life of this world.
		
00:20:58 --> 00:21:01
			But the akhirah is better than this world.
		
00:21:01 --> 00:21:03
			The akhirah is more intense than this world.
		
00:21:03 --> 00:21:04
			Even the person who is going to jahannam,
		
00:21:05 --> 00:21:07
			the punishment is much more intense. If a
		
00:21:07 --> 00:21:09
			person lives a horrible life in this world,
		
00:21:09 --> 00:21:12
			he will remember from the fire of Jahannam
		
00:21:12 --> 00:21:14
			this world as a jannah, as a paradise
		
00:21:14 --> 00:21:16
			for him when he sees what's in store
		
00:21:16 --> 00:21:17
			for him on that side.
		
00:21:20 --> 00:21:23
			That the is better than this world and
		
00:21:23 --> 00:21:25
			it lasts forever. This is what this is
		
00:21:25 --> 00:21:27
			all about. This is a celebration
		
00:21:28 --> 00:21:30
			even if you don't have mommy and baba
		
00:21:30 --> 00:21:33
			to give you a gift on id, even
		
00:21:33 --> 00:21:34
			if you don't have any relatives in the
		
00:21:34 --> 00:21:37
			masjid, even if you don't have anything to
		
00:21:37 --> 00:21:40
			celebrate from this material world. Why? Why?
		
00:21:57 --> 00:21:59
			Allah says, O mankind,
		
00:22:00 --> 00:22:02
			indeed has come to you, a righteous exhortation
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:04
			from your lord,
		
00:22:08 --> 00:22:10
			and a cure for the sickness that's in
		
00:22:10 --> 00:22:11
			the hearts,
		
00:22:11 --> 00:22:12
			the sick hearts,
		
00:22:12 --> 00:22:15
			the one heart that is chasing after money.
		
00:22:15 --> 00:22:17
			In this book of Allah, there's a cure
		
00:22:17 --> 00:22:19
			for that. This heart which is plagued and
		
00:22:19 --> 00:22:22
			riddled with the cancer of hasad, with the
		
00:22:22 --> 00:22:24
			cancer of of jealousy,
		
00:22:24 --> 00:22:27
			that cancer that eats up a person's good
		
00:22:27 --> 00:22:30
			deeds like fire eats up dry firewood.
		
00:22:30 --> 00:22:32
			There's a cure for that in here, for
		
00:22:32 --> 00:22:34
			the ujub and the kibr, for
		
00:22:34 --> 00:22:35
			the the the
		
00:22:36 --> 00:22:39
			the the the takabbur, for the arrogance, that
		
00:22:39 --> 00:22:40
			same arrogance which led
		
00:22:41 --> 00:22:42
			shaitan to be shaitan
		
00:22:42 --> 00:22:45
			and which led every person who went astray
		
00:22:45 --> 00:22:47
			from the of his Lord. There's a cure
		
00:22:47 --> 00:22:49
			for that in this book. There's a cure,
		
00:22:49 --> 00:22:52
			there's a in this book. Even for the
		
00:22:52 --> 00:22:54
			person who doesn't understand even a lick of
		
00:22:54 --> 00:22:54
			Arabic.
		
00:22:55 --> 00:22:56
			And that's most of us. And if we
		
00:22:56 --> 00:22:58
			think that we're from so, you know, so
		
00:22:58 --> 00:23:01
			called Arab countries and so we understand the
		
00:23:01 --> 00:23:04
			Quran. It's not necessarily true. To understand the
		
00:23:04 --> 00:23:06
			language of the Quran is not easy. The
		
00:23:06 --> 00:23:09
			usages in the Quran are not normal usages,
		
00:23:09 --> 00:23:11
			everyday usages of the Arabic language. There are
		
00:23:11 --> 00:23:13
			many of us that don't understand even a
		
00:23:13 --> 00:23:15
			lick of the Quran. There are many of
		
00:23:15 --> 00:23:17
			us that don't understand but half of it
		
00:23:17 --> 00:23:19
			or a quarter of it. Despite that fact,
		
00:23:19 --> 00:23:21
			even if you don't understand a link of
		
00:23:21 --> 00:23:22
			it, this is something I asked the the
		
00:23:22 --> 00:23:25
			youth group kids, I asked people from time
		
00:23:25 --> 00:23:26
			to time, How do you feel when you
		
00:23:26 --> 00:23:28
			go to salatul tarawi and you hear the
		
00:23:28 --> 00:23:30
			Quran? Do you understand any of it? No.
		
00:23:30 --> 00:23:32
			How do you feel when you leave? I
		
00:23:32 --> 00:23:33
			feel good.
		
00:23:33 --> 00:23:35
			Of course you feel good. What else are
		
00:23:35 --> 00:23:36
			you doing? It's a,
		
00:23:40 --> 00:23:42
			and a guidance and a mercy for the
		
00:23:42 --> 00:23:44
			believers. Of course, you're going to feel good.
		
00:23:44 --> 00:23:46
			You feel clean when you lead, even if
		
00:23:46 --> 00:23:48
			you didn't understand the link of it. Why?
		
00:23:48 --> 00:23:50
			Because you stood in the obedience of Allah
		
00:23:50 --> 00:23:52
			subhanahu wa ta'ala. You may or may not
		
00:23:52 --> 00:23:54
			have been created to be the most knowledgeable
		
00:23:54 --> 00:23:56
			person in the world. You may or may
		
00:23:56 --> 00:23:58
			not have been created to be the shaykhotafsir,
		
00:23:59 --> 00:24:00
			alama fahama.
		
00:24:00 --> 00:24:02
			That may be the case, that may not
		
00:24:02 --> 00:24:04
			be the case. But you were created and
		
00:24:04 --> 00:24:06
			I was created to be a servant of
		
00:24:06 --> 00:24:07
			the Lord. And when the slave stands in
		
00:24:07 --> 00:24:10
			front of his master in obedience, the entire
		
00:24:10 --> 00:24:12
			universe is perfect and as it should be.
		
00:24:17 --> 00:24:20
			Say, because of the the grace of Allah
		
00:24:20 --> 00:24:21
			ta'ala,
		
00:24:21 --> 00:24:23
			the grace of Allah ta'ala, and the mercy
		
00:24:24 --> 00:24:26
			of Allah ta'ala, the grace of Allah and
		
00:24:26 --> 00:24:26
			because
		
00:24:28 --> 00:24:29
			His
		
00:24:30 --> 00:24:30
			mercy,
		
00:24:31 --> 00:24:33
			Let them enjoy that. Let them be happy
		
00:24:33 --> 00:24:35
			about that. Let them be excited about that.
		
00:24:37 --> 00:24:39
			Let them celebrate that.
		
00:24:41 --> 00:24:42
			It is better than all of this money,
		
00:24:43 --> 00:24:45
			all of this property, all of this dunya,
		
00:24:45 --> 00:24:47
			all of this all of this ego,
		
00:24:47 --> 00:24:49
			all of this power, all of this status
		
00:24:49 --> 00:24:51
			that we spend our entire
		
00:24:51 --> 00:24:54
			lives gaining. And the angel of death visits
		
00:24:54 --> 00:24:55
			you one day, *, the
		
00:24:56 --> 00:24:57
			entire thing is gone. Like it never existed
		
00:24:57 --> 00:24:58
			in the first place. It would have been
		
00:24:58 --> 00:24:59
			better if it never existed because those things
		
00:24:59 --> 00:24:59
			you never had, you'll never be asked about
		
00:24:59 --> 00:24:59
			them on the day of judgement. Because you
		
00:24:59 --> 00:24:59
			had them,
		
00:25:02 --> 00:25:04
			now, you'll never be asked about them on
		
00:25:04 --> 00:25:05
			the day of judgment.
		
00:25:05 --> 00:25:07
			Because you had them, now the benefit is
		
00:25:07 --> 00:25:09
			gone as if it never existed.
		
00:25:09 --> 00:25:11
			But the burden of it still remains on
		
00:25:11 --> 00:25:16
			the back of every person to give an
		
00:25:16 --> 00:25:20
			answer for what they did with those things.
		
00:25:21 --> 00:25:24
			Say because of the grace of Allah ta'ala
		
00:25:24 --> 00:25:26
			and his mercy. That mercy that comes down
		
00:25:26 --> 00:25:29
			in the holy and sacred hour of Eid.
		
00:25:29 --> 00:25:31
			That holy and sacred hour of Eid when
		
00:25:31 --> 00:25:34
			all of the Muslims gather together. This is
		
00:25:34 --> 00:25:35
			why it's a sunnah to pray the Eid
		
00:25:35 --> 00:25:36
			outside
		
00:25:36 --> 00:25:37
			because it's
		
00:25:38 --> 00:25:40
			When you gather for the day of Eid,
		
00:25:40 --> 00:25:41
			you are not the only ones that are
		
00:25:41 --> 00:25:43
			there. There are Muslims that you have not
		
00:25:43 --> 00:25:45
			seen for the entire year that will be
		
00:25:45 --> 00:25:47
			there. They're not the only ones that are
		
00:25:47 --> 00:25:50
			there. The jinn come, the angels come, the
		
00:25:50 --> 00:25:52
			angels are commanded to come and join the
		
00:25:52 --> 00:25:55
			Eid prayer. It's entirely an open thing. It's
		
00:25:55 --> 00:25:57
			something that's witnessed by the heavens and by
		
00:25:57 --> 00:25:59
			the earth, by the trees, by the grass,
		
00:25:59 --> 00:26:01
			by the rocks. It's a commandment and they
		
00:26:01 --> 00:26:04
			enjoy witnessing it. Why? Because it's a place
		
00:26:04 --> 00:26:05
			where the rahmah and the mercy of Allah
		
00:26:05 --> 00:26:08
			ta'ala comes down on his creation. It's a
		
00:26:08 --> 00:26:10
			reason why the rain comes down on the
		
00:26:10 --> 00:26:11
			heads of the believers.
		
00:26:11 --> 00:26:13
			It's a reason why Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:26:13 --> 00:26:16
			gives us another another chance, gives us another
		
00:26:16 --> 00:26:18
			day. That there's still some good, there's still
		
00:26:18 --> 00:26:20
			some good left in this creation
		
00:26:20 --> 00:26:23
			amidst everybody being so so so driven by
		
00:26:23 --> 00:26:26
			their nafs and so driven by their and
		
00:26:26 --> 00:26:28
			their vain desires that everybody says, well, I
		
00:26:28 --> 00:26:30
			believe this and another person says, I believe
		
00:26:30 --> 00:26:33
			that. People make things up. People make things
		
00:26:33 --> 00:26:35
			up and lie against Allah
		
00:26:36 --> 00:26:38
			There are no longer virtues left, it's just
		
00:26:38 --> 00:26:40
			values. To the point where if you believe
		
00:26:40 --> 00:26:42
			in good, there's a 100 people in front
		
00:26:42 --> 00:26:44
			of you who believe in something other than
		
00:26:44 --> 00:26:46
			good, and we all sit together and say
		
00:26:46 --> 00:26:47
			that this is equal.
		
00:26:48 --> 00:26:50
			Gave every single one of us an.
		
00:26:51 --> 00:26:54
			He gave us a intellect, a rational faculty,
		
00:26:54 --> 00:26:56
			which is there to judge, to be the
		
00:26:56 --> 00:26:57
			difference between what is good and evil and
		
00:26:57 --> 00:26:58
			he gave us
		
00:26:59 --> 00:26:59
			a
		
00:26:59 --> 00:27:00
			by which we can
		
00:27:01 --> 00:27:04
			differentiate what's good and bad and even though
		
00:27:04 --> 00:27:06
			the society and the time we live in
		
00:27:06 --> 00:27:09
			will pile every sort of indecency onto you
		
00:27:09 --> 00:27:10
			and tell you to accept that it's good,
		
00:27:10 --> 00:27:13
			as it's good, it's not good. There's a
		
00:27:13 --> 00:27:15
			day in the year that the rahmah of
		
00:27:15 --> 00:27:17
			Allah ta'ala comes down on his creation. Why?
		
00:27:17 --> 00:27:19
			Because there are still a set of people
		
00:27:19 --> 00:27:21
			amongst those who worship Allah ta'ala,
		
00:27:22 --> 00:27:24
			who still say what is right is right
		
00:27:24 --> 00:27:25
			and who still say what is wrong is
		
00:27:25 --> 00:27:28
			wrong, who listen to the truth, who hear
		
00:27:28 --> 00:27:30
			the truth, who watch and see the truth,
		
00:27:30 --> 00:27:32
			and who speak the truth and carry the
		
00:27:32 --> 00:27:35
			truth, the holy truth, the holy and sacred
		
00:27:35 --> 00:27:37
			truth, and the vessel of their hearts where
		
00:27:38 --> 00:27:39
			with them wherever they go, this is an
		
00:27:39 --> 00:27:42
			occasion of Allah's rahma coming down. And even
		
00:27:42 --> 00:27:44
			if that doesn't describe all of us, even
		
00:27:44 --> 00:27:46
			if it only describes one of us, that's
		
00:27:46 --> 00:27:48
			the day we go and we see who
		
00:27:48 --> 00:27:51
			is that one person because of whom if
		
00:27:51 --> 00:27:53
			Allah accepts from him, he will accept from
		
00:27:53 --> 00:27:53
			everybody.
		
00:27:54 --> 00:27:55
			This is why even if you don't have
		
00:27:55 --> 00:27:57
			nice clothes on the day of Eid, you'll
		
00:27:57 --> 00:27:59
			still feel happy. This is why if you
		
00:27:59 --> 00:28:01
			don't have someone to give you presents on
		
00:28:01 --> 00:28:03
			the day of Eid, you'll still feel happy.
		
00:28:04 --> 00:28:05
			This is why if you don't have the
		
00:28:05 --> 00:28:07
			fancy party where all the cool people are
		
00:28:07 --> 00:28:09
			going on the day of Eid, you'll still
		
00:28:09 --> 00:28:10
			feel happy. If you don't have the best
		
00:28:10 --> 00:28:12
			thing to eat on Eid, if you're broke
		
00:28:12 --> 00:28:14
			on Eid, you'll still feel happy because it's
		
00:28:14 --> 00:28:17
			not something that you celebrate from this world.
		
00:28:17 --> 00:28:20
			It's something that comes down from above the
		
00:28:20 --> 00:28:23
			and from above the brothers and sisters. This
		
00:28:23 --> 00:28:25
			is something that requires preparation.
		
00:28:26 --> 00:28:28
			This is not something that happens for free.
		
00:28:28 --> 00:28:30
			There are how many days? 7 days, 6
		
00:28:30 --> 00:28:32
			days left in Ramadan.
		
00:28:32 --> 00:28:34
			Don't let it go by like the other
		
00:28:34 --> 00:28:35
			23
		
00:28:35 --> 00:28:36
			went by.
		
00:28:36 --> 00:28:39
			Work hard. Read the book of Allah ta'ala.
		
00:28:39 --> 00:28:41
			Shut the TV off. Shut the phone off.
		
00:28:41 --> 00:28:44
			Stop using the Twitter and Facebook and YouTube.
		
00:28:44 --> 00:28:46
			You can watch a video of cats some
		
00:28:46 --> 00:28:48
			other day. This opportunity is not going to
		
00:28:48 --> 00:28:50
			come by again. We laugh about it in
		
00:28:50 --> 00:28:52
			this world. On the day of judgement, we'll
		
00:28:52 --> 00:28:54
			cry about it. Wallahi, we'll cry about it.
		
00:28:54 --> 00:28:56
			We wish we could have those precious moments
		
00:28:56 --> 00:28:58
			and hours that we could go back. Nobody
		
00:28:58 --> 00:29:00
			gets to come back. Nobody gets to come
		
00:29:00 --> 00:29:02
			back. This is your chance. Do what you're
		
00:29:02 --> 00:29:04
			going to do and be what you are
		
00:29:04 --> 00:29:05
			forever and ever afterward.
		
00:29:06 --> 00:29:07
			Shut all of those things down for these
		
00:29:07 --> 00:29:08
			days.
		
00:29:10 --> 00:29:12
			Flee to Allah to Allah. Come to this
		
00:29:12 --> 00:29:14
			house. Come to the masjid. Bring your pillow
		
00:29:14 --> 00:29:16
			and sleeping bag. If all you do is
		
00:29:16 --> 00:29:17
			come and sleep in this masjid with the
		
00:29:17 --> 00:29:19
			niyah that you don't want to, pollute your
		
00:29:19 --> 00:29:22
			heart in these holy and sacred days, Allah
		
00:29:22 --> 00:29:24
			will reward you and write for you your
		
00:29:24 --> 00:29:26
			sleep as if it's an ibadah brothers and
		
00:29:26 --> 00:29:28
			sisters. It's not a joke. It's not a
		
00:29:28 --> 00:29:29
			joke.
		
00:29:29 --> 00:29:31
			Flee to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala so that
		
00:29:31 --> 00:29:33
			he can reward you. And for the sake
		
00:29:33 --> 00:29:35
			of Allah ta'ala, don't do anything to blow
		
00:29:35 --> 00:29:37
			it. When the moon is sighted or when
		
00:29:37 --> 00:29:39
			the 30th day of Ramadan is complete, you
		
00:29:39 --> 00:29:42
			know there's no salatul tarawih tonight. You know
		
00:29:42 --> 00:29:43
			that you're not going to have to,
		
00:29:44 --> 00:29:45
			you know,
		
00:29:45 --> 00:29:47
			strain yourself tonight, that you're going to eat
		
00:29:47 --> 00:29:49
			and drink, and tomorrow is a nice day,
		
00:29:49 --> 00:29:51
			when you're picking up your nice clothes, when
		
00:29:51 --> 00:29:53
			you're sorting the presents for your loved ones
		
00:29:53 --> 00:29:54
			and for your children,
		
00:29:54 --> 00:29:56
			spend some time in the ibadah of Allah
		
00:29:56 --> 00:29:58
			ta'ala. It's a sunnah of the messenger of
		
00:29:58 --> 00:30:00
			Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
		
00:30:05 --> 00:30:07
			It's narrated by a number of by Jama'a
		
00:30:07 --> 00:30:11
			Abhi Muhamdideen, including Imam al Shafri, including ima
		
00:30:11 --> 00:30:12
			imam Abujaafarat
		
00:30:12 --> 00:30:13
			Tawawi,
		
00:30:13 --> 00:30:14
			people who are mujdahideen.
		
00:30:14 --> 00:30:16
			It's a sahiyah hadith of the prophet sallallahu
		
00:30:16 --> 00:30:18
			alaihi wa sallam. Whoever gives life to the
		
00:30:18 --> 00:30:21
			2 nights of the 2 i'ids, whoever stands
		
00:30:21 --> 00:30:24
			in prayer, whoever reads Quran, whoever makes zikr,
		
00:30:24 --> 00:30:26
			whoever makes dua and shows the worry and
		
00:30:26 --> 00:30:28
			concern of his akhirah on those 2 nights,
		
00:30:28 --> 00:30:30
			their heart will not die on the day
		
00:30:30 --> 00:30:32
			that the darars die on the day of
		
00:30:32 --> 00:30:32
			judgment.
		
00:30:33 --> 00:30:35
			Don't spend it as a time of heedlessness,
		
00:30:35 --> 00:30:37
			brothers and sisters. It is for those who
		
00:30:37 --> 00:30:38
			are in the atika of a sunnah that
		
00:30:38 --> 00:30:40
			they not leave the Muartakaf.
		
00:30:40 --> 00:30:42
			Legally, they can leave at the time of
		
00:30:42 --> 00:30:43
			Maghrib on the last day or when the
		
00:30:43 --> 00:30:45
			moon is sighted. But it is a sunnah
		
00:30:45 --> 00:30:48
			that they stay in the masjid until the
		
00:30:48 --> 00:30:50
			fajr is prayed, and then when they leave,
		
00:30:50 --> 00:30:52
			they leave straight to the musalla of Eid.
		
00:30:52 --> 00:30:54
			Why? Because what did we start the khutba
		
00:30:54 --> 00:30:56
			with? Al umurubil kawateem.
		
00:30:56 --> 00:30:58
			All matters are the way that they end.
		
00:30:58 --> 00:31:00
			If you don't end this Ramadan in a
		
00:31:00 --> 00:31:02
			good way, don't expect the good of it
		
00:31:02 --> 00:31:04
			on the day of judgment. Be very careful
		
00:31:04 --> 00:31:07
			to vouchsafe it. Pay your zakatul fitr. Make
		
00:31:07 --> 00:31:09
			your takbir. Don't do anything to ruin it
		
00:31:09 --> 00:31:12
			before the hour of of acceptance comes down
		
00:31:12 --> 00:31:14
			on the Muslims, on the believers. Don't do
		
00:31:14 --> 00:31:15
			anything to ruin it before you pass from
		
00:31:15 --> 00:31:17
			this world. May Allah give all of us
		
00:31:17 --> 00:31:18
			so much tawfeeq.
		
00:33:05 --> 00:33:05
			Muhammad
