00:01:02 --> 00:01:04
			We are gathered here in this beautiful hall
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:07
			to commemorate this great occasion of Eid al
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:09
			Fitr with the millions of Muslims throughout the
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:12
			world. And on this occasion, we know that
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:14
			it is important for us to say these.
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:18
			We start off when the Ramadan Ramadan ends.
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:21
			We start off right then and there making
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:24
			that view wherever we can in our cars,
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:26
			in our homes, when we are shopping, it
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:26
			is.
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:32
			Thereafter, when we come to the prayer before
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:34
			starting it, we say the
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:37
			that we are all familiar with. And in
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:40
			the prayer itself, we add an additional
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:42
			7 that we want to the first maghara,
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:44
			an additional 5 in the second one as
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:46
			well. And it is also sunnah of the
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:47
			prophet.
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:50
			And when a person begins the, the first
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:53
			has 9 that he wants, and he sent
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:55
			me one as an additional 7. And he
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:57
			asked myself why we pray
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:02
			dimension in the Quran where Allah
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:04
			says, when he took me
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:16
			A set number of days. And once God
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:18
			completed that term, then they've been.
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:22
			What is this set for? It is for
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:24
			the fact that he has guided to follow
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:27
			Islam. He's allowed you to practice and
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:31
			fast therein and gain the rewards of fasting
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:33
			this blessed month. So we make them
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:36
			And when a person is saying,
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:38
			they are acknowledging that Allah
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:42
			is greater than everything. The grandeur of Allah
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:45
			is greater than everything. And the most of
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:47
			all, for many of us, we were studying
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:48
			or we were working.
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:51
			And despite the fact that these days were
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:53
			difficult, we fasted these days, and we said,
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:57
			Allahu Anba, however important these things are, my
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:58
			worship to Allah
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:00
			is greater than this.
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:03
			Allah is greater in my hunger.
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:06
			Allah is great in my thirst.
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:09
			Allah is great in my sleep. Many of
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:11
			us were sick deprived in this one, and
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:13
			that what it what it means to say
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:15
			what he took, we earned that, what he
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:15
			took, and
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:19
			the greatest gift that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:22
			has given us before anything else is that
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:24
			that is dragged us to become Muslims.
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:42
			The New Year because a person, they find
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:44
			themselves in the month of Ramadan. They are
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:46
			fasting from the beginning of the day until
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:48
			the end of the day or until the
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:50
			time of the sun sets.
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:51
			And similarly,
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:54
			a person would fast the entire month, and
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:56
			they would have their major dikah on the
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:57
			days of age in the film of which
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:59
			is today. The minor one at the end
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:01
			of the day is gonna be days of
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:03
			Ramadan when you take that first date and
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:05
			you take that first sip of water. And
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:07
			the major one on the day of arraigns
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:09
			in Fiddler, the major is not. And in
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:11
			these days, we are abstaining from eating and
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:12
			drinking.
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:15
			And if we look at it for ourselves
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:18
			and Muslims, when we get into Jannah, we
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:20
			are abstaining from those things in a dunya,
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:22
			which is displeased into Allah's
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:59
			as Muslims in this dunya.
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:00
			Similarly,
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:02
			the days of Ramadan, they came as they
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:03
			went.
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:05
			How many of us can remember the fact
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:07
			that it was the 1st day of Ramadan,
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:09
			and now we find ourselves already at the
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:10
			end?
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:14
			And similar will be our life as well.
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:16
			As Allahu Alaihi says in the Quran,
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:19
			will be like a blink of an eye.
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:21
			Many of us can remember a time in
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:22
			which we were receiving
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:25
			praise gifts. And before we knew it, we
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:27
			are the ones that are now giving great
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:29
			gifts to our children and to our grandchildren.
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:31
			And I'm pleased to be done. It will
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:33
			be over so that strides as good as
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:34
			we can before,
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:37
			it is it is, before our life ends,
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:39
			and strive to do as much as good
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:41
			as we can in this dunya.
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:45
			Another point as well is that he want
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:46
			to
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:47
			be
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:51
			a person that achieves the quality of
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:55
			appreciating the ima and the balances of Allah.
		
00:05:58 --> 00:06:00
			And for many of us this morning,
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:02
			we might have had the inclination
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:04
			to eat breakfast for the first time in
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:06
			a whole month. And we when we took
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:09
			this breakfast for the first time, perhaps some
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:11
			of us were second guessing. Are we fasting
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:13
			or not? And we took this to our
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:16
			mouth. We realized, actually, we can eat today
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:18
			and we ate it in how much more
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:20
			enjoyable was it in that moment. A lot
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:23
			of times, we don't appreciate the small blessings
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:25
			that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala has given us
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:27
			throughout the day, and that is one of
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:29
			the great blessings that we gave in the
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:30
			month of Ramadan.
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:32
			The final point of address that we will
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:33
			mention in
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:46
			don't actually understand what it means to submit
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:48
			to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. If you found
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:52
			yourself actually having fasted this month and nobody
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:54
			else saw that you fasted, this is a
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:56
			proof of your Islam because you did this
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:57
			only for the sake of Allah
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:00
			You're not one that is simply
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:11
			Subhanahu Waqqai'ala. And we ask Allah Subhanahu Waqqai'ala
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:13
			to make us from those from those individuals
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:15
			that as it is mentioned in the hadith
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:16
			of the prophet
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:25
			extreme
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:28
			joy. One moment of joy and that moment
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:30
			in which they break their past. When you
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:32
			break their past, you take that first stage,
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:34
			a moment of joy. And another moment of
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:36
			joy, on the day of.
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:39
			Enjoy this day.
