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
