			can this lead an EM Allah leaves to go astray? There is none who can guide and I bet what is that
there's nothing worthy of worship civil law alone. And then well, Hamlet's a little love wherever
you listen to them, is both a servant and His Messenger.
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:34
			There is a principle in our religion,

			that the one who makes dry
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:45
			and the one who says me and confirms the Dwyer are equal.
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:54
			How do we know this? Allah Subhana Allah in the Quran, mentions a dua of Mousavi Sam will call me
		
00:03:55 --> 00:04:02

			It was Allah emadi him was to the Allah movie him? Well, I mean,
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:33
			I mean, Allah Subhana Allah mentions that do I have Muslim? What he says he complains to Allah
subhanaw taala he says, Oh Allah, indeed you have human fit out when the pharaoh woman was
establishment. You gave them splendor and wealth in this world. Oh Allah, they're using it to turn
people misguided. And then he may drive to a license or a lot destroy their wealth
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:44
			and harden their hearts. So that they do not believe except when the punishment comes to them. The
next verse, Allah Subhana, Allah says, Paul
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:52
			will jump to the water Kuma Allah says I have accepted both of your Diwan.
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:59
			Now how does Allah say I've accepted a plural to have your while
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:12
			When the only person speaking is most of Allah masa, masa said this, but Allah says I've accepted
the both of you. And the scholars interpret this from the Quran.
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:15
			To say yes, Moosa said that
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:22
			his brother had said, mean. So when a lot accepted the day,
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:25
			he said, I accepted both of You're
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:35
			the one who says the DA and the one who says mean, are equal. The one who said I mean, it's as if
he's made the Diwan. Why is this important?
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:47
			Because the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, at tiny gibreel gibreel peace be upon
him came to me. And he said, Yeah, Mohammed.
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:50
			I am making a dua.
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:55
			For admin, I'm making drugs. So you say me and
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:58
			so jabril is going to make two
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:03
			and he tells the Prophet say me and over the door I'm about to me.
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:06
			What is the daughter of God? And
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:08
			he says,
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:10
			look,
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:16
			fella Musa lionni he said, may the nose be dusted
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:26
			other men who knew Oh Mohamed are mentioned in his company, and he doesn't send for that upon you.
Aloma suddenly Allah Mohammed.
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:35
			What does this means? The infamous nose be dusted. I mean, may this person be humiliated? May they
be demeans.
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:46
			So he's make strides against the person whom the profits in the long run, you sent him as mentioned
in his company, and he doesn't send it out upon him. Then he makes another drive.
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:48
			He says,
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:50
			brother, my
		
00:06:55 --> 00:07:13
			fellow musical in Jannah, he sent me his nose be he made this person be humiliated, the one who
loves to see his parents at their elderly age, one or both of them, and does not enter genda. And
the Prophet Mohammed says, I mean,
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:19
			and then he makes a third while he says Roman Emperor in order
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:33
			for them youthful level, he says, may they be humiliated? The one who witnesses are Milan, and does
not attain forgiveness. The Prophet Mohammed said, I mean,
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:45
			this is the best of all the angels gibreel Aeneas Anam making dry. And the best of all the humans,
Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam saying,
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:49
			and so had a lot to understand this a while
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:52
			is to understand
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:55
			the expectations on a person.
		
00:07:58 --> 00:08:16
			If somebody says, I'm not a billionaire, do you look at them as they're less than this person's
like, humiliated? No, how many billionaires are there? there's so few of them. How difficult is it
to be a billionaire, very difficult, right? But imagine, for example, for example,
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:25
			a person who you they open for them, the gates of money, they gave them all the money, they wanted
all the goals they wanted.
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:33
			Sometimes there's athletes they make, they tell you over their career, this athlete made $300
million
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:35
			over his career, you made $400 million.
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:44
			And then you find out that same person is bankrupt and has no money. That same person is on the
streets begging people for money.
		
00:08:45 --> 00:09:08
			Doesn't that person lose the steam in your eyes? You say you had the opportunity to take all the
money? And you didn't you have the opportunity to take care of yourself and you didn't, right?
Because they let go of the opportunity that was very easily attainable. You would look down on this
person. Why? What's wrong with you? Why didn't you take advantage of this amazing opportunity that
you had?
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:14
			And that's what's being said in this Hadith of the Prophet sallallahu. How do you send them
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:28
			that debris? And he said, I'm saying, you have this amazing opportunity for rewards. When the
Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu I used them as mentioned, and you didn't know sense for that and said,
I'm upon him.
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:39
			And so he's saying, may this person be humiliated? Because what a terrible decision that you made
What a stupid decision it is. Something very easy, and you get so much reward and you didn't do it.
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:53
			And then he says the person whose parents are elderly, it's so easy to get the reward. You help them
do this. You help them do that. You're in their service, you're in their companionship. Just a few
years you're spending with them before they pass away.
		
00:09:54 --> 00:09:59
			It's really not that much in the grand scheme of things. He says if your parents are elderly, you
don't enter agenda.
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:06
			is your fault. You have the opportunity, it was a very easy opportunity and you didn't take
advantage of it.
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:22
			And the last thing he mentions that you come to the month of Ramadan, this is the month of
forgiveness. This is the month of the prophet SAW Allah and he sent him says the doors of Jenna are
open and the doors of the Hellfire are shuts.
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:36
			This is a month of incredible ease to attain the forgiveness of Allah subhanho wa Taala and you
don't get the forgiveness, the focus is on you because you had every opportunity to get it.
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:41
			This way the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said in the lie he
		
00:10:43 --> 00:11:02
			never hides. He said there are seasons belonging to the days of a wasp habitat. Just like there are
businesses where they make all of their money in the summer. And businesses they make all of their
money in the winter. Seasonal. He says the days of a long some of them are seasonal. There are days
in which
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:11
			the mercy of Allah subhanho wa Taala is in greater season than other days. And the prophets of Allah
where I do send them says
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:27
			expose yourself to it. When it's the time of season go into it work really hard. receive the reward
from Allah subhanho wa Taala and some of the setups used to say before the month of Ramadan, a
beautiful
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:34
			Aloma celemony in Ramadan Oh Allah give me Salaam give me peace and protection
		
00:11:36 --> 00:12:19
			to Ramadan I allow me to live and witness the month of Ramadan. And then they would say well
suddenly me Ramadan and make Ramadan surrendered to me What does that mean? We make it easy for me
to deal with the month of Ramadan, make it easy for me to take advantage of this month of Ramadan,
it will make it at my disposal that it's easy for me to pray and to fast and to do all the good that
I possibly can, you know may come on easy for me to you know, conquer it by doing all these good
deeds. What does a woman need what are Kabira and accepted from me as something that you owe a lot
have accepted from a deed that is accepted. And so this is this month of Ramadan that we are coming
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:19
			to.
		
00:12:20 --> 00:12:43
			And as we enter it, people have conflicting emotions. There are some people who maybe are very
righteous, they are incredibly excited, and other people who aren't dreadful, and they're saying I'm
gonna miss my coffee, and it's gonna be really difficult on me. And there's most people who are
probably in the middle, you feel some excitement and you'll feel some apprehension.
		
00:12:44 --> 00:13:02
			But when we think about what Ramadan is worth, the value of Ramadan, it should take us from any
apprehension and anxiety and fear towards pure excitement and happiness that this month in sha Allah
is one that Allah will allow us to see.
		
00:13:03 --> 00:13:07
			One of the scholars gave a parable, an example.
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:26
			He said if you brought the cows want to eat, and you gave them gold and silver. They turn away from
it. What am I going to do with this? They don't want to eat gold and silver. And if you gave them
grass and hay, they would love it and they start eating it. Why?
		
00:13:27 --> 00:13:34
			Because they don't understand the value of gold and silver. They don't understand its usefulness. So
it's not worthy for them.
		
00:13:36 --> 00:13:39
			And this is sometimes our relationship when it comes to them. obon
		
00:13:40 --> 00:13:59
			here's the gold brought to you. We don't understand its value. So we turn away from it. It's not
something that we really want. And so he warns us that we are the people that are less prone to die
this is in One Belt, One Road sabetha they are like the cattle only more misguided. They don't
understand the value of what is before them.
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:17
			And the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam make dua that Allah Subhana Allah would allow him to
witness this month of Ramadan. As we're entering to this month of Ramadan, we realize that Allah
subhanaw taala made this month for us why I left them to Tacoma, you may have Taqwa
		
00:14:18 --> 00:14:20
			Tacoma is
		
00:14:21 --> 00:14:34
			a very beautiful term with a lot of meaning behind it. One of the greatest meanings or definitions
of tuck was what I mean, I've never thought about the 117 and a half minute Jenny will Amil with
Tenzin, what
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:51
			was the ideal Moroccan, he said it's reviewing the most majestic and it is about acting upon the
revelation. And it's about being content with even having very little of the dunya and preparing
yourself for the day of departing from this world.
		
00:14:52 --> 00:14:59
			And some of the scholars comment on this, this is what counts is tough what you fear Allah subhanaw
taala with the knowledge that you're getting
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:19
			Allah subhanho data that you feel Allah subhanaw taala with the action of wanting to act upon that
knowledge, you know you're gonna meet Allah subhana wa Tada. So what are you going to do about that?
And fasting is incredibly important, and it's tied to this meeting.
		
00:15:20 --> 00:15:21
			You fast.
		
00:15:22 --> 00:16:01
			When you fast it transforms you into someone who is constantly thinking about meeting Allah subhana
wa tada meaning Allah zildjian the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, he said, the saw me
forgotten, the one who fast has two forms of joy. For Hudson and the fifth, he also has Angelica
europei The one who fast has two forms of joy, the happiness of breaking their fast eating their
food, and the happiness of meeting a loss of Hannah with either the happiness of meeting a lot. So
it's about tough one and tough was about preparing yourself to meet Allah and the Prophet tells you
the joy of fasting is when you meet Allah subhana wa Tada.
		
00:16:03 --> 00:16:12
			And the Prophet sallallahu wasallam said to Aisha, when I had the humble Allah, Allah holy woman,
Kenny and
		
00:16:14 --> 00:16:35
			whoever loves to me, Allah, Allah loves to meet them. And whoever hates to meet Allah. Allah hates
to meet them. I said to the Prophet, O Messenger of Allah, but each and every one of us hates death.
All of us hate today we're afraid of dying. The Prophet said, This is not what I'm talking about. He
said, rather the person who does good deeds,
		
00:16:36 --> 00:17:19
			and they know they believe in a law, they know that that reward of the good deed is with Allah. So
they're excited because one day they're going to meet Allah Subhana Allah and Allah is going to
reward them. And the Prophet said, how the footsie can dominate nasm level in the song for in the
Holy One at Zb. But Allah counts it says, All the deeds of the children of Adam belong to them
except fasting. It belongs to me and I will reward them. When you fast. You don't get the
compensation. Nobody gives you anything in return. You will get your return when you meet Allah
subhana wa Tada. And one of the beautiful benefits of fasting is it increases your top quality and
		
00:17:19 --> 00:17:56
			reminds you you're going to meet a lot. And when the days of fasting are difficult to remind
yourself, it's okay if it's difficult. One day I'm going to meet Allah subhanaw taala. And he's
going to give me what I've endured this difficulty for, he's going to give me a reward for what I've
done. And this is what gives fasting incredible meaning why the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
would make dua to Allah was a Lucas show. In Excel, I asked you for the longing this to meet you
allow me to have that deep desire to meet Allah Subhana, Allah copernico to have those thoughts
running through in order for him
		
00:18:11 --> 00:18:15
			Bismillah Alhamdulillah wa salatu salam ala rasulillah, who early
		
00:18:16 --> 00:18:23
			on it was a woman while the Prophet sallallahu wasallam said to us that
		
00:18:26 --> 00:18:27
			that fasting is a shield.
		
00:18:29 --> 00:18:30
			And there's a lot of
		
00:18:31 --> 00:18:47
			understanding we can take from this very short Hadith of the Prophet sallallahu. I do send them. But
one of the things that fasting shields us from is from an over dependence on the dunya that we're
constantly focused on our physical reality, we forget our spiritual states.
		
00:18:48 --> 00:19:24
			Fasting acts as something that breaks our dependence on the material world. And instead of focusing
always on our bodies, now we have to focus a little bit on our souls. Instead of focusing on our
stomach, we have to focus on our connection to Allah subhanho wa Taala. And this is one of the most
powerful lessons that we can take from fasting. And as we're entering into this month, this is
incredibly important. This month of Ramadan, pre COVID at least people use the as time of
socializing.
		
00:19:25 --> 00:19:32
			This is a time of you turning to Allah subhanaw taala connecting to a loss of penalty, breaking our
dependence on the dunya
		
00:19:33 --> 00:19:48
			and then this month, you know and hamdulillah last month we last year we had no opportunity to come
to the masjid. Now hopefully in sha Allah we have opportunity to be at the masjid and I'm asking
everyone in short what to take this privilege.
		
00:19:49 --> 00:19:50
			Su seriously
		
00:19:52 --> 00:19:56
			COVID is having an effect right now. Someone in our community
		
00:19:57 --> 00:19:59
			used to attend to here as an attendant for a long
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:05
			Time, but they were in the hospital on COVID. Because they had COVID. They were intubated and they
passed away.
		
00:20:06 --> 00:20:08
			And someone else in the community I know.
		
00:20:09 --> 00:20:19
			We're in our area in our community, had COVID was in the hospital was intubated on the ventilator
hamdulillah they're back home, but they can't speak anymore.
		
00:20:20 --> 00:20:58
			So it's not only about the impact of death, there's the impact of other illnesses that come from
this. We have to take this seriously. And so I'm happy that we're going to be able to offer people
to come to the masjid and pray. But let's in our personal lives, not taking additional risks, stay
at home, worship Allah subhanaw taala at home as much as you can come to the masjid and pray and
leave and that's not socialize, it's not the month of socializing, right? Even if there was no COVID
it's not the month of socializing, it's the month of Ramadan. So let's do that inshallah, because
you might not take it seriously, there might be a person here who doesn't take it seriously. But
		
00:20:58 --> 00:21:32
			what might happen is you might get the virus, and you might come here, and then they might say,
well, this brother had the virus and he came to your message and so now nobody can pray the medicine
has to shut down completely because of one person. So not only is it the possibility of might spread
the illness to someone who dies or someone who gets sick, but the possibility might also stop
prayers altogether. So let's please take it seriously even in our personal lives, so that inshallah
we continue to have the opportunity to have drama, we continue to have an opportunity to pray
inshallah, in Ramadan, ask Allah Subhana Allah to keep us safe. School was counted either to keep us
		
00:21:32 --> 00:21:42
			healthy, and to protect each and every one of us. I mean, in the long run, it gets worse and worse.
So do not be under the narrow Sandra username would seem a lot more suddenly was no malice at night
