Ibraheem Menk – Ramadhaan in Isolation

00:00:05 --> 00:00:26

			hamdulillahi Rabbil alameen wa sallahu wa salatu wa Sallim wa ala India you are Emanuel serene
Nabina Muhammad wa ala alihi wa sahbihi Marine along Marisa Ilana Dr. Salah one has either Salah or
BS in water. With me, Bill hi Robbie canister in. We thank Allah
		

00:00:27 --> 00:00:45

			for having gathered us here online once again. And we ask Allah subhanahu wa tada to surround us
with the matter and to cause his mercy and His Sakina to descend upon us, and to raise us with the
MBR alayhi wa Salatu was Salam and those whom he has mentioned with them, I mean,
		

00:00:46 --> 00:01:43

			the brothers and sisters in Islam, Allah Buddha to gll, He created us alone, and we will ultimately
return to Him alone. And this is why he says, what occurred to move to Florida, and you will have
come to us alone, come outside of the United Kingdom, what Amala in the manner that we created you
the first time, so Allah, Allah created us alone, and we will return to Him alone. In between that
time, a human being lives with family begins to develop, builds a home has a social responsibility
has a job does so many deeds in the life gets attached to this dunya. And as a result, when this
human being wants to leave the dunya it becomes very difficult for them. Remember, the people of the
		

00:01:43 --> 00:01:44

			past
		

00:01:45 --> 00:02:39

			from amongst them was a man who was asked that Mallanna krahula note, why is it that we despise
death so much for Cara Lee and my Kumamoto dunya come wahala to ohakune it is because you have built
your dunya and you have destroyed your earth here for in the context of hoonah and tentec Illumina
Rahmani lowcarb. So you despise, to go from that which is built to that which is destroyed and
derelict. So, those who have left the those who have left the earth healer, and have not built it
whatsoever, ultimately what happens is they have destroyed the earth here. So they look at that
which they have in this world, I have a home, I have a family, I've got children, I've got parents
		

00:02:39 --> 00:03:34

			and it becomes very difficult for such a person to leave this Jr. But ultimately we will all leave
and when we leave we will leave isolated and alone. Now, since we are still breathing and we still
have life within us, let us understand that this Ramadan may be a very different one to the ones
that we usually spend, it is a Ramadan in which many of us will be at home we will not manage to go
to the masjid we will not be able to be with family and friends at the big star dinners etc. But it
is a Ramadan of isolation where a person will be cut off from the rest of the world in this
isolation is a reminder for us that we were ultimately created alone and we will return to Allah
		

00:03:34 --> 00:04:00

			alone. So let us prepare for that day. So you see when a human being builds these relationships in
the in this world. He lives with family, he lives with friends, he thinks he will never leave it. He
will never go away. But the fact is that on the day of PMS, these very relationships that you valued
and held so close to you.
		

00:04:02 --> 00:04:34

			They will not benefit you in any way whatsoever. Yo my lion feral man while I've been your wealth,
no will your children help you in any way whatsoever? 11 atoma Have you been studying except for a
person who comes with a clear heart a clean heart to Allah subhana wa Tada. So, Ramadan is a time
for the reformation of the heart and we know this because Allah subhanho wa Taala says,
		

00:04:35 --> 00:04:41

			Yeah, you have levina Amano quotevalet con cama cama, cootie barra de la de
		

00:04:42 --> 00:05:00

			la la contenta con so that you may attain God consciousness and where does the consciousness of
Allah subhanho wa Taala come from? It comes from your heart. So when you go to Allah subhanho wa
Taala your children, your wealth, your health.
		

00:05:00 --> 00:05:53

			You're everything that you have in this dunya it will not benefit you what so ever, except for the
condition of your heart that you meet Allah subhanho wa Taala with. And it is for this reason that
yes, Ramadan is a month of the Quran. So we need to concentrate on the Koran and we need to recite
the Quran as much as possible. But in addition to this, let us make this a llama bond with a
difference, since it will be a Ramadan in which we are isolated. Let us ponder every single day over
set in a yet have Allah subhanahu wa Tada. Look into the meanings of these verses, sit and think
deeply about them, and try to understand how we can implement these verses into our lives. Because
		

00:05:53 --> 00:06:42

			you see, so many llama bonds have passed. We always hear people say Ramadan is the month of the
Quran. And we see people reciting Hutton, after Hutton after Hutton, but they don't seem to derive
the benefit that they should out of the score. And ultimately, it is the spoken word of your maker.
He's sending messages to you. He's telling you something, what is he saying? Isn't it of importance
to us. So let us make it a month of pondering over the Quran, implementing that which we see in the
Quran into our lives. You see, if we did this from the beginning, then we would not have people who
are weak muslimeen and people who do not implement their faith into their lives. But we would have
		

00:06:42 --> 00:07:14

			had strong Muslim men who ultimately exemplify the Quran in the lives when they go out to the
people. They talk to them in such a manner that the people want to know why they behave in this
manner. They are so beautiful in their mannerisms and characteristics. Unfortunately, we don't do
this we recite the Quran, read it over and over and over again. But we don't implement it into our
lives. So let us make this a month of implementing the Quran into our lives.
		

00:07:15 --> 00:08:11

			Secondly, let us make this a month in which we make reparations with our family members, remember,
some of us have cut off ties with others, others are not talking to their family members. Why?
Because so many years ago you said such and such a thing to me. So I will not talk to you in and
then for various reasons. The people want to fight and argue with each other to the extent that
brothers will not talk to sisters. Fathers will not talk to their sons. Why is this the case?
Remember that this is a time in which anyone can go and we need to understand this. It needs to be
driven home very, very loudly and clearly. Because it is indeed Yes, the dunya is a time in which
		

00:08:11 --> 00:09:01

			anyone can leave this world. But now is a time more so in which a person close to you can pass on.
Do you want someone to die, not speaking to you meet you on the day of piano or something in their
heart against you. rather go to that person, make an effort resolve your disputes. today. If you
cannot go to them, you're in isolation, give them a phone call. Tell them brother sister Forgive me
even if you are not wrong, and make reparations Isn't it time that some of us let go of the hatred
that we feel for each other? Remember, ultimately, we don't know when we will go to Allah subhana wa
Tada. So, before we do, let us make these preparations and turn to audible is that you will gela
		

00:09:01 --> 00:09:26

			indeed it is shaytaan that comes in between the human beings and whispers to them tells them to
cause all sorts of problems and trials and tribulations amongst themselves. This is not the way of
the Sahaba the Allahu anhu when you look at the companions, or the lover, and when you find a worker
and they had the arguments, and they go to a pseudo lasala Why didn't you sell them and
		

00:09:27 --> 00:09:59

			the Allahu anhu lets it go. He lets it go immediately. Why? Because they knew that we are not here
forever. And today. Unfortunately, we don't seem to understand this we are at each other's throats
fighting each other if not killing one another. May Allah Subhana Allah protect us. So number one,
it's a month of the Quran number two, it's a month in which we need to make reparations and not only
in the month and within the month, but before we get
		

00:10:00 --> 00:10:02

			that month. Thirdly,
		

00:10:04 --> 00:10:59

			your own beam and yourself, your heart, your habits that you've been engaged in, try to rectify
them, change them, become a better human being worshipped Allah subhanahu wa tada gets rid of the
bad habits that you have. And some of us may think that it is very difficult, I've got so many bad
habits, then start with one or two, get rid of them, let it be a month of change that will be
physically visible in your lives after you have exited this month. Dear brothers and sisters in
Islam, this is definitely a message about the month of Ramadan which will be a month of isolation,
but at the same time, remember that some of us will not even get to see the month of Ramadan. So the
		

00:10:59 --> 00:11:52

			time for change is not in Ramadan, we are not waiting for it to come, let us change now. None of us
are guaranteed beyond this moment. None of us know whether we will live or we will die. So and I'm
not scaring and making you fearful here, but we need to understand the reality. So let us make
changes now. If we cannot get rid of all of the harm in our life slowly but surely make a sincere
intention right here right now that before I reach the month of Ramadan, I'm going to get rid of
this habit and Allah subhanahu wa tada will give you the tofik and the ability. So indeed it is a
short message but I hope that it was concise and to the point and we can all benefit from this insha
		

00:11:52 --> 00:12:12

			Allah we will be coming with more reminders in the days to come. We've Neela tada We ask Allah
subhanho wa Taala to forgive us all and to grant us the ability to reach Ramadan and to spend
Ramadan in the most beautiful and amazingly I mean, sort of love or sell them out robotic and and
and be unemployment while he was here as you may
