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.
