We are gathered here in this beautiful hall
to commemorate this great occasion of Eid al
Fitr with the millions of Muslims throughout the
world. And on this occasion, we know that
it is important for us to say these.
We start off when the Ramadan Ramadan ends.
We start off right then and there making
that view wherever we can in our cars,
in our homes, when we are shopping, it
is.
Thereafter, when we come to the prayer before
starting it, we say the
that we are all familiar with. And in
the prayer itself, we add an additional
7 that we want to the first maghara,
an additional 5 in the second one as
well. And it is also sunnah of the
prophet.
And when a person begins the, the first
has 9 that he wants, and he sent
me one as an additional 7. And he
asked myself why we pray
dimension in the Quran where Allah
says, when he took me
A set number of days. And once God
completed that term, then they've been.
What is this set for? It is for
the fact that he has guided to follow
Islam. He's allowed you to practice and
fast therein and gain the rewards of fasting
this blessed month. So we make them
And when a person is saying,
they are acknowledging that Allah
is greater than everything. The grandeur of Allah
is greater than everything. And the most of
all, for many of us, we were studying
or we were working.
And despite the fact that these days were
difficult, we fasted these days, and we said,
Allahu Anba, however important these things are, my
worship to Allah
is greater than this.
Allah is greater in my hunger.
Allah is great in my thirst.
Allah is great in my sleep. Many of
us were sick deprived in this one, and
that what it what it means to say
what he took, we earned that, what he
took, and
the greatest gift that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
has given us before anything else is that
that is dragged us to become Muslims.
The New Year because a person, they find
themselves in the month of Ramadan. They are
fasting from the beginning of the day until
the end of the day or until the
time of the sun sets.
And similarly,
a person would fast the entire month, and
they would have their major dikah on the
days of age in the film of which
is today. The minor one at the end
of the day is gonna be days of
Ramadan when you take that first date and
you take that first sip of water. And
the major one on the day of arraigns
in Fiddler, the major is not. And in
these days, we are abstaining from eating and
drinking.
And if we look at it for ourselves
and Muslims, when we get into Jannah, we
are abstaining from those things in a dunya,
which is displeased into Allah's
as Muslims in this dunya.
Similarly,
the days of Ramadan, they came as they
went.
How many of us can remember the fact
that it was the 1st day of Ramadan,
and now we find ourselves already at the
end?
And similar will be our life as well.
As Allahu Alaihi says in the Quran,
will be like a blink of an eye.
Many of us can remember a time in
which we were receiving
praise gifts. And before we knew it, we
are the ones that are now giving great
gifts to our children and to our grandchildren.
And I'm pleased to be done. It will
be over so that strides as good as
we can before,
it is it is, before our life ends,
and strive to do as much as good
as we can in this dunya.
Another point as well is that he want
to
be
a person that achieves the quality of
appreciating the ima and the balances of Allah.
And for many of us this morning,
we might have had the inclination
to eat breakfast for the first time in
a whole month. And we when we took
this breakfast for the first time, perhaps some
of us were second guessing. Are we fasting
or not? And we took this to our
mouth. We realized, actually, we can eat today
and we ate it in how much more
enjoyable was it in that moment. A lot
of times, we don't appreciate the small blessings
that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala has given us
throughout the day, and that is one of
the great blessings that we gave in the
month of Ramadan.
The final point of address that we will
mention in
don't actually understand what it means to submit
to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. If you found
yourself actually having fasted this month and nobody
else saw that you fasted, this is a
proof of your Islam because you did this
only for the sake of Allah
You're not one that is simply
Subhanahu Waqqai'ala. And we ask Allah Subhanahu Waqqai'ala
to make us from those from those individuals
that as it is mentioned in the hadith
of the prophet
extreme
joy. One moment of joy and that moment
in which they break their past. When you
break their past, you take that first stage,
a moment of joy. And another moment of
joy, on the day of.
Enjoy this day.
