00:04:14 --> 00:04:18
			Last night, was a very very special night.
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:23
			A night in which a guest arrived
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:28
			the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:34

			which is the night that precedes the day of Ramadan
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:57
			on this night
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:00
			the
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:01

			fella you have to who minha Bab
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:28
			in on this night the gates of hellfire are all locked and not a single gate is left open.
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:33
			What would it hurt to Abu Abu Jana
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:38
			phelim You mean ha Babb
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:46
			and all of the gates of Jannah are opened and not a single one of them
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:53
			philam Uralic minha Bab and not a single one of them is shut
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:58
			while you add the monad in
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:02
			and a caller calls out.
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:06
			Yeah Does the Aloha URI aka dill
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:09
			Oh DOER of good.
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:12
			Now is your time.
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:31
			Get ready. Now is your time come close? Why barely Asscher reacts here and Oduor of evil. Now is the
time to stop your evil. Now is the time to stop.
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:42
			Well Allah He wrote a call Mina na WADA Lika. Frequently Leila, and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam concluded by saying
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:46
			that Allah subhanho wa Taala has those
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:50
			who he frees
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:57
			from the hellfire. And that is in every single night of Ramadan.
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:01
			And so my dear brothers and sisters,
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:04
			now is the time
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:08
			now is the time
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:10
			to start working.
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:16
			Now is the time to get active.
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:27
			Now is not the time to be sleeping. Now is not the time to become lazy. As unfortunately many
Muslims we find them
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:31
			on the first day of Ramadan, and the first few days
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:39
			with their excuse of fasting. They say we're too weak. They say we can't do it.
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:42
			And so they sleep the entire day.
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:51
			And they become lazy on this first day of Ramadan. And so those who are truly deprived
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:57
			of the of the grace, the bounty and the mercy of Allah subhanho wa Taala
		
00:07:58 --> 00:08:02
			are those who when times like Ramadan come,
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:07
			they come and they go
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:09
			without these people
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:15
			having received any portion of the Mercy of Allah subhanho wa Taala
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:20
			having received any of the forgiveness of Allah subhanho wa taala.
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:24
			And so what this shows
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:26
			is that such people
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:32
			they can't make the excuse
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:36
			that I can't do it because
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:41
			the devil is in the shayateen are too strong over me.
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:46
			What this shows is
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:48
			that these people,
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:52
			it is themselves who are to blame.
		
00:08:54 --> 00:09:03
			And so they can't put the blame on anyone else, not even on the shayateen. Why? Because the
shayateen are locked up.
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:07
			So what excuse do you have now?
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:12
			And that's why as Allah subhanahu wa taala tells us that on the Day of Judgment,
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:15
			the devils will come
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:25
			our Shayateen who are with us in this dunya who entice us to do evil. On that day they will come
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:32
			and they will disassociate themselves from us and from our evil.
		
00:09:34 --> 00:09:38
			Work on our Korean woohoo Rob banner, ma Autobytel
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:42
			his partner,
		
00:09:43 --> 00:09:46
			meaning the devil that was with him in this dunya
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:56
			on that day he will say, Our Lord, it was not me who caused him to go astray, wala Kena who?
		
00:09:57 --> 00:09:59
			Well I can can if you boil Allenbury
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:04
			but rather he was for a stray himself
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:08
			and so
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:11
			the keys to Jannah
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:15
			and the keys to the Hellfire
		
00:10:17 --> 00:10:19
			are only in our hands
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:32
			and that's why throughout the Quran Allah subhana wa Tada tells us that those who enter Jannah it is
because of what they did.
		
00:10:33 --> 00:10:44
			We met can we I'm alone, and those who enter the Hellfire be my cursor but add him it was because of
what they themselves sent forth.
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:48
			Whatever we see
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:53
			in the alira when we meet Allah subhanahu wa Tada
		
00:10:55 --> 00:11:01
			it is because of what we ourselves did or did not do.
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:07
			And so now is the time
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:09
			to get up.
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:12
			Now is the time
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:17
			to work hard
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:25
			to put our laziness behind to put our excuses behind
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:44
			and to race in these days, which are days of competition was Sadhguru era NaVi Ratan Mira become and
compete race with one another to the forgiveness of Allah subhanahu wa Tada.
		
00:11:46 --> 00:11:49
			These days my dear brothers and sisters
		
00:11:51 --> 00:11:57
			are days in which the shayateen are chained, they're locked up.
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:02
			And so if they are chained, if they are locked up
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:06
			then what we have to do
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:09
			is that we have to unfasten.
		
00:12:12 --> 00:12:13
			We have to
		
00:12:14 --> 00:12:20
			release ourselves from the shackles of our Shaha
		
00:12:22 --> 00:12:37
			and from our evil knifes because if we persist in evil in this month, then it's not because of the
shayateen because they're they're shut up. They're chained up and locked up and shackled.
		
00:12:38 --> 00:12:43
			But it is because of our evil inclining knifes.
		
00:12:45 --> 00:12:53
			Enough's. Amara Bisou the nafs there is inclined to do evil that doesn't want to do good.
		
00:12:55 --> 00:13:07
			It is this knifes that we need to release from the shackles of its Jehovah its desires and we need
to bring it under control.
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:15
			We need to bring this knifes under our control and not allow it to control us.
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:18
			My dear brothers and sisters
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:26
			now that the shayateen are locked up,
		
00:13:29 --> 00:13:30
			what we need to do
		
00:13:34 --> 00:13:36
			is we need to permanently
		
00:13:39 --> 00:13:40
			unfasten
		
00:13:43 --> 00:13:48
			those chains and those shackles from the grip of shaitan.
		
00:13:51 --> 00:13:53
			Ponder over this hadith
		
00:13:55 --> 00:13:58
			in which the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:03
			describes to us
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:06
			a scene
		
00:14:09 --> 00:14:10
			of someone
		
00:14:14 --> 00:14:16
			who basically has lost all hope.
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:22
			The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says
		
00:14:24 --> 00:14:27
			Lila he assured do for Rohan.
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:30
			be told that you have the hillmorton
		
00:14:33 --> 00:14:35
			Allah subhanho wa Taala
		
00:14:39 --> 00:14:40
			becomes more joyful
		
00:14:42 --> 00:14:43
			and happy
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:47
			at the repentance
		
00:14:49 --> 00:14:51
			of his believing slave,
		
00:14:53 --> 00:14:59
			more happy and more joyful. Then this individual
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:02
			And then the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam describes him
		
00:15:05 --> 00:15:08
			min Raju Lin fee all the way yet in Malacca tin
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:11
			Mara who Rahila to who?
		
00:15:13 --> 00:15:15
			Allah you had to harm who was shot Abu.
		
00:15:16 --> 00:15:17
			Fernanda
		
00:15:18 --> 00:15:23
			for stay cada workout their habit for talaga
		
00:15:25 --> 00:15:37
			had the rocker hula outwash so McCall or Giro, Isla McCarney, a lady come to fee for an arm or a
movement.
		
00:15:40 --> 00:15:42
			The prophets Allah Allahu Allah, you said themselves
		
00:15:44 --> 00:15:53
			that Allah is more joyful, more happy. When one of us turns to him in repentance, then a man
		
00:15:56 --> 00:15:56
			a man
		
00:15:58 --> 00:16:00
			who is out in the desert.
		
00:16:03 --> 00:16:04
			And he's traveling.
		
00:16:07 --> 00:16:10
			And he has gone days and nights out in the desert.
		
00:16:15 --> 00:16:18
			And he comes to a place where he decides to rest
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:25
			with his camel that has everything on it.
		
00:16:28 --> 00:16:33
			his food, his drink, all of His provision is there on his camera.
		
00:16:36 --> 00:16:43
			And so he goes to sleep. And when he wakes up, he finds that his camel
		
00:16:44 --> 00:16:45
			has gone.
		
00:16:47 --> 00:16:48
			He has left him
		
00:16:49 --> 00:16:51
			with all of his provision.
		
00:16:53 --> 00:16:59
			All of his means for survival. There is no water around, there's no food around.
		
00:17:01 --> 00:17:04
			He knows that that's it, it's over.
		
00:17:07 --> 00:17:10
			I have no means of survival. And so he says,
		
00:17:12 --> 00:17:19
			After losing all hope. He says, let me go back to that place where I was resting.
		
00:17:20 --> 00:17:22
			And let me just wait there
		
00:17:24 --> 00:17:24
			until
		
00:17:26 --> 00:17:27
			I have died.
		
00:17:29 --> 00:17:32
			The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says
		
00:17:35 --> 00:17:38
			for another hour or so who Anessa ad Leah moved.
		
00:17:39 --> 00:17:46
			First a cada Wenger who Rahila to who really has to do who water hammer who wash rob
		
00:17:47 --> 00:17:51
			the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says, So he goes back to that place,
		
00:17:52 --> 00:17:56
			lies down, puts his hand beneath his head.
		
00:17:58 --> 00:18:00
			And then all of a sudden, from nowhere.
		
00:18:02 --> 00:18:04
			His camel comes back
		
00:18:06 --> 00:18:07
			and he sees it in front of him.
		
00:18:09 --> 00:18:12
			On it, his food his drink.
		
00:18:13 --> 00:18:21
			And in another narration of the Hadith the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says, and so this man
out of extreme joy.
		
00:18:23 --> 00:18:24
			He says
		
00:18:26 --> 00:18:26
			Ya Rob
		
00:18:29 --> 00:18:41
			and to have the one book that you are my servant, and I am your Lord. He says this The Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says that he says this only out of extreme joy. It's a slip of the
tongue.
		
00:18:43 --> 00:18:54
			The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says, For Allah who should do for Rohan be told batil Abd Al
McMinn Minh had the bureau heal it he was added.
		
00:18:57 --> 00:18:59
			Allah is more joyful, more happy
		
00:19:00 --> 00:19:04
			when one of us turns to him in repentance
		
00:19:06 --> 00:19:07
			than this man
		
00:19:11 --> 00:19:17
			who is joyful and happy after seeing his camel after having lost it.
		
00:19:21 --> 00:19:26
			What is the explanation of this hadith and the explanation of Allah's joy?
		
00:19:29 --> 00:19:31
			What's the relation between the two?
		
00:19:34 --> 00:19:38
			If not call him Rahima Hola. He sums up he sums it up very beautifully.
		
00:19:40 --> 00:19:40
			He says
		
00:19:43 --> 00:19:44
			that imagine
		
00:19:48 --> 00:19:49
			in a war
		
00:19:52 --> 00:19:54
			there's a warrior who's fighting
		
00:19:56 --> 00:19:57
			against the enemy.
		
00:19:59 --> 00:19:59
			But it's all happened
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:00
			seems
		
00:20:02 --> 00:20:04
			that they are defeated in this war.
		
00:20:05 --> 00:20:06
			And so he's taken
		
00:20:07 --> 00:20:09
			as a prisoner of war.
		
00:20:12 --> 00:20:13
			And so he's taken,
		
00:20:14 --> 00:20:16
			shackled, chained up
		
00:20:19 --> 00:20:24
			and taken to a far off land of foreign land and thrown into prison.
		
00:20:25 --> 00:20:29
			He loses all hope of ever returning
		
00:20:31 --> 00:20:33
			to his family, to his land.
		
00:20:36 --> 00:20:37
			But one day,
		
00:20:38 --> 00:20:41
			he finds an opportunity to escape.
		
00:20:43 --> 00:20:48
			He unfastened his shackles, and he manages to escape
		
00:20:49 --> 00:20:51
			from the grip of his enemy.
		
00:20:52 --> 00:20:53
			And he runs and he runs
		
00:20:55 --> 00:20:57
			and he travels back to his land.
		
00:20:58 --> 00:21:00
			And he knocks on his door
		
00:21:01 --> 00:21:08
			after even his family had lost all hope of ever seeing him ever again.
		
00:21:10 --> 00:21:14
			And so they open up the door and they see him
		
00:21:16 --> 00:21:24
			and so imagine the joy that comes to them and to him at that time.
		
00:21:26 --> 00:21:32
			So Abraham says that we are in the same state in this dunya
		
00:21:34 --> 00:21:37
			in this dunya we have come
		
00:21:38 --> 00:21:41
			after having been sent here
		
00:21:43 --> 00:21:45
			by Allah subhanahu wa taharah
		
00:21:46 --> 00:21:49
			shackled by our enemy shaitan
		
00:21:51 --> 00:21:53
			constantly
		
00:21:54 --> 00:21:57
			under the command and the control of shaitan
		
00:21:59 --> 00:22:00
			we can't escape
		
00:22:02 --> 00:22:03
			but when we do
		
00:22:06 --> 00:22:07
			it is then
		
00:22:09 --> 00:22:12
			that we turn to Allah subhanho wa Taala
		
00:22:13 --> 00:22:24
			and so we unfastened those shackles, and we turn to Allah subhana wa Taala running to him, fleeing
to him. Subhana who were to Allah.
		
00:22:25 --> 00:22:30
			So why wouldn't Allah subhanahu wata be joyful at that?
		
00:22:31 --> 00:22:35
			Why wouldn't Allah subhanahu Attallah be short, joyful and happy
		
00:22:37 --> 00:22:40
			when one of us unfasten
		
00:22:41 --> 00:22:44
			the shackles of the enemy of Allah
		
00:22:45 --> 00:22:48
			and goes fleeing to Allah subhanahu wa taala.
		
00:22:51 --> 00:22:52
			My dear brothers and sisters,
		
00:22:55 --> 00:22:59
			if you will, Josie Rahim Allah he says in a very, very beautiful statement.
		
00:23:01 --> 00:23:05
			He says, The 12 months of the year
		
00:23:07 --> 00:23:19
			are like the 12 Sons of Yaqoob. Ali has said, we all know that Jacobi has Salam had 12 sons.
		
00:23:20 --> 00:23:30
			He goes on to say, and just like Yusuf Ali, his Salam was the most beloved son to Yaqoob. Likewise,
		
00:23:31 --> 00:23:38
			among the 12 months of the year, the most beloved to Allah subhanho wa Taala is the month of
Ramadan.
		
00:23:40 --> 00:23:42
			And then he goes on to say,
		
00:23:43 --> 00:23:47
			and just like Allah subhanho wa Taala forgave
		
00:23:48 --> 00:24:03
			the 11 sons, the 11 brothers, of Yusuf Ali his Salam, because of the DUA have one of them, of the of
use of Ali Hassan. He says Likewise,
		
00:24:04 --> 00:24:21
			Allah subhanahu wa taala will forgive you for the 11 months of the year that went by, in which you
sinned and persisted in your sin. Why because of your DUA in the month of Ramadan.
		
00:24:23 --> 00:24:26
			And so my dear brothers and sisters, the month of Ramadan
		
00:24:28 --> 00:24:59
			is the month of turning to Allah subhanahu wa taala in sincere repentance, this is an opportunity
that doesn't come every day. So take it now. Take it now because it's only a matter of days a year
and then I do that. Today you Ramadan has entered and soon Ramadan will be departing without us even
realizing it.

00:26:50 --> 00:26:53
			Allah subhanho wa Taala commands us
		
00:26:54 --> 00:26:56
			addressing the believers,
		
00:26:57 --> 00:26:58
			Oh you who believe
		
00:27:00 --> 00:27:03
			prescribe for you has become fasting
		
00:27:05 --> 00:27:08
			just as it was prescribed for those before you
		
00:27:10 --> 00:27:11
			for what purpose?
		
00:27:12 --> 00:27:21
			To achieve what objective let Allah come tech tycoon. So that perhaps
		
00:27:22 --> 00:27:27
			you may achieve the Taqwa of Allah subhanahu wa Tahara.
		
00:27:30 --> 00:27:32
			My dear brothers and sisters
		
00:27:35 --> 00:27:36
			Ramadan
		
00:27:38 --> 00:27:41
			and the acts are very bad in the month of Ramadan
		
00:27:43 --> 00:27:44
			are different
		
00:27:46 --> 00:27:47
			to the act of a bladder
		
00:27:48 --> 00:27:50
			outside the month of Ramadan
		
00:27:53 --> 00:28:01
			and so worshiping Ramadan is special and what makes it special including fasting is
		
00:28:03 --> 00:28:05
			that these are acts of a baddha
		
00:28:07 --> 00:28:10
			that are directly related to our hearts
		
00:28:12 --> 00:28:14
			they are acts of everybody
		
00:28:16 --> 00:28:17
			which we can call
		
00:28:19 --> 00:28:21
			secluded act of a bad
		
00:28:23 --> 00:28:23
			actor very bad.
		
00:28:25 --> 00:28:27
			There are done in seclusion.
		
00:28:29 --> 00:28:30
			And so even if
		
00:28:31 --> 00:28:36
			you are not in seclusion at home, you are with everyone
		
00:28:38 --> 00:28:41
			outside going to work coming to the masjid
		
00:28:43 --> 00:28:46
			and we're worshiping a lot as a community still even then
		
00:28:48 --> 00:28:49
			our ADA
		
00:28:51 --> 00:28:53
			is a private matter
		
00:28:54 --> 00:28:56
			between ourselves and Allah subhanho wa taala.
		
00:28:58 --> 00:29:01
			And this becomes even more emphasized today
		
00:29:03 --> 00:29:05
			under the circumstances that we are in
		
00:29:06 --> 00:29:07
			where
		
00:29:08 --> 00:29:11
			we no longer have the opportunity
		
00:29:12 --> 00:29:13
			to come together
		
00:29:15 --> 00:29:17
			in this month of Ramadan
		
00:29:19 --> 00:29:22
			and worship Allah subhanho wa Taala as a community
		
00:29:24 --> 00:29:28
			in the houses of Allah subhanho wa Taala in the massage it
		
00:29:30 --> 00:29:31
			what is it
		
00:29:33 --> 00:29:34
			that makes fasting
		
00:29:35 --> 00:29:36
			so different
		
00:29:39 --> 00:29:41
			than all the other activity badda
		
00:29:42 --> 00:29:47
			some which are even greater than fasting, like a Salah praying,
		
00:29:48 --> 00:29:51
			which precedes fasting in virtue
		
00:29:54 --> 00:29:55
			and also in the pillars of Islam.
		
00:29:57 --> 00:29:59
			But yet what makes fasting
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:01
			so different.
		
00:30:02 --> 00:30:03
			Firstly,
		
00:30:06 --> 00:30:08
			all the other acts of a bad
		
00:30:09 --> 00:30:10
			and good deeds.
		
00:30:13 --> 00:30:18
			For the most part, they are things that we are required to do.
		
00:30:20 --> 00:30:29
			We're required to say, our Salah consists of actions, movements, and statements.
		
00:30:31 --> 00:30:58
			On the other hand, fasting is different. We're not being asked to do something or to say something
rather, we're being asked to refrain from certain things. And so what this teaches us is that the
bad of Allah, and the obedience of Allah subhanho wa Taala is not only in doing things in saying
things, but also
		
00:30:59 --> 00:31:09
			by refraining from certain things. And so what fasting in the month of Ramadan, what it teaches us
is how to refrain,
		
00:31:10 --> 00:31:15
			how to refrain from what ALLAH SubhanA what Allah has forbidden.
		
00:31:18 --> 00:31:20
			And so as you're fasting today,
		
00:31:21 --> 00:31:25
			you're staying away from what Allah has made halal,
		
00:31:27 --> 00:31:54
			in general, food, drink relations that are permissible. These are things that Allah has made
permissible for us. But we're being asked to refrain from these permissible things in these days.
And so this will train us to stay away from and to refrain from that which Allah has made haram. And
so this is how we see
		
00:31:56 --> 00:32:02
			where Allah says, Allah, Allah Contacta goon, so that perhaps you will achieve Taqwa.
		
00:32:03 --> 00:32:10
			So if you're wondering, what is the relationship between taqwa and fasting, then this is the
relationship.
		
00:32:11 --> 00:32:12
			Secondly,
		
00:32:13 --> 00:32:15
			what makes fasting different
		
00:32:16 --> 00:32:17
			is
		
00:32:19 --> 00:32:23
			that fasting, and the reward of fasting
		
00:32:24 --> 00:32:25
			is something
		
00:32:27 --> 00:32:29
			that is based upon what is in your heart.
		
00:32:33 --> 00:32:34
			Your Salah
		
00:32:35 --> 00:32:39
			will be accepted, as long as you have the right intention.
		
00:32:40 --> 00:32:52
			But what's more important is the outward Act. There are certain things that will invalidate your
Salah because you did not do or you did not say. On the other hand,
		
00:32:53 --> 00:32:55
			when it comes to fasting
		
00:32:57 --> 00:32:58
			outwardly
		
00:33:00 --> 00:33:04
			everyone could be staying away from food and drink.
		
00:33:05 --> 00:33:10
			Oh word li people could seem as if they are fasting.
		
00:33:12 --> 00:33:35
			But Allah subhanahu wa Tada will not judge us and will not reward us for our fast of Ramadan.
Because of how we are outwardly staying away from food and drink, but rather, Allah will reward us
for fasting in the month of Ramadan. For what is in our hearts.
		
00:33:37 --> 00:33:45
			For what is in our hearts. Firstly, their intention. Why are we fasting? And secondly,
		
00:33:47 --> 00:33:49
			because the fasting person
		
00:33:51 --> 00:33:53
			what he leaves off
		
00:33:54 --> 00:33:57
			of permissible things, is purely
		
00:33:59 --> 00:34:09
			and sincerely for the sake of Allah alone. And that's why the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
says, couldn't do a homily Benny Adam, you will do a half al Hassan
		
00:34:11 --> 00:34:12
			Al Hassan too.
		
00:34:15 --> 00:34:15
			short
		
00:34:18 --> 00:34:21
			URL has to be Ashley and 30 her
		
00:34:22 --> 00:34:25
			the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says
		
00:34:26 --> 00:34:29
			that every deed of the son of Adam
		
00:34:32 --> 00:34:32
			is multiply
		
00:34:36 --> 00:34:37
			is multiplied
		
00:34:38 --> 00:34:48
			up to 700 times is multiplied between 10 and 700 times and then he sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said
		
00:34:49 --> 00:34:50
			Illa
		
00:34:52 --> 00:34:57
			Illa sown for inner who Li will enter edge Zb
		
00:34:59 --> 00:35:00
			except for five
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:00
			fasting.
		
00:35:02 --> 00:35:06
			Fasting was done sincerely for my sake.
		
00:35:07 --> 00:35:13
			And so I will reward him for it. And then the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says,
		
00:35:14 --> 00:35:15
			Allah says,
		
00:35:16 --> 00:35:17
			yada,
		
00:35:19 --> 00:35:23
			yada other who shall Water Water Hannah who mean actually?
		
00:35:25 --> 00:35:32
			How is it that fasting is different than the other activity better? Don't we do this for the sake of
Allah?
		
00:35:35 --> 00:35:38
			Allah says, in this hadith could see
		
00:35:40 --> 00:35:48
			that the fasting person refrained from food and drink, and his desires,
		
00:35:49 --> 00:35:58
			for whose sake only for my sake, and that is why I will reward him a special reward for that.
		
00:35:59 --> 00:36:00
			And so in this dunya,
		
00:36:02 --> 00:36:03
			everyone seems to be fasting.
		
00:36:08 --> 00:36:09
			But not everyone's heart
		
00:36:10 --> 00:36:11
			is the same.
		
00:36:13 --> 00:36:24
			Some may be just fasting because those around them are fasting. Some may be fasting, because they
don't want others to say, why aren't you fasting?
		
00:36:26 --> 00:36:31
			And that's why fasting in the month of Ramadan
		
00:36:32 --> 00:36:33
			is so much different
		
00:36:35 --> 00:36:36
			than the other acts of a bad
		
00:36:38 --> 00:36:39
			my dear brothers and sisters.
		
00:36:43 --> 00:36:48
			This is why even if you have the right intention to fast,
		
00:36:49 --> 00:36:52
			you may end up missing out on the reward.
		
00:36:53 --> 00:36:58
			And what you get out of your fast is nothing but hunger
		
00:37:01 --> 00:37:10
			and tiredness. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said Rob buzzsaw Amon, Lai Salah who means to
yami il ju
		
00:37:12 --> 00:37:16
			Waru Baca Eman Lai, Salah hoomin Creo me he Illa Sahar,
		
00:37:17 --> 00:37:22
			the perhaps a fasting person, all he gets out of his fast is hunger.
		
00:37:24 --> 00:37:29
			And the one praying at night, perhaps all he gets out of it is
		
00:37:31 --> 00:37:32
			staying up all night
		
00:37:33 --> 00:37:36
			and getting tired and fatigued.
		
00:37:38 --> 00:37:42
			And so it all comes back down to our intentions.
		
00:37:43 --> 00:38:06
			It all comes down to our intentions. We have to rectify our intentions From today onwards for this
month of Ramadan. Why are we fasting not only because Allah commanded us to do so. But also and more
importantly, because we are we are trying to do this for the sake of Allah
		
00:38:07 --> 00:38:10
			to attain the pleasure of Allah subhanho wa Taala
		
00:38:11 --> 00:38:17
			when sama Ramadan II man and what he said and who fear Allah Houma, Taka dam in them,
		
00:38:18 --> 00:38:26
			who is the one who has all of his sins forgiven in the month of Ramadan, the one who fasts sincerely
		
00:38:27 --> 00:38:34
			out of Eman and looking forward to the reward with Allah subhanho wa taala.
		
00:38:36 --> 00:38:41
			And so my dear brothers and sisters, let us worship Allah subhanho wa Taala
		
00:38:43 --> 00:39:23
			not just outwardly but more importantly, from deep down from deep down inside, let this month of
Ramadan as we enter the first day, let it be an opportunity for us to reestablish that relationship
with Allah subhanho wa Taala let it be a chance and an opportunity to flee back to Allah subhanho wa
Taala unshackling ourselves from what is holding us back and that is our evil desires. Let us make
this month of Ramadan an opportunity
		
00:39:25 --> 00:39:45
			as we sit in seclusion at home, let it to be an opportunity to worship Allah subhanho wa Taala
sincerely without showing off to others, sincerely so that we will be rewarded by Allah subhanho wa
Taala instead of
		
00:39:47 --> 00:39:58
			getting nothing out of our fasting and our our praying to Malaysia other than hunger and fatigue. We
ask Allah subhanho wa Taala
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:01
			to grant us
		
00:40:03 --> 00:40:05
			to grant us good hopes
		
00:40:08 --> 00:40:09
			in him Subhanahu wa Taala
		
00:40:11 --> 00:40:15
			This is a time for us to think of Allah positively.
		
00:40:17 --> 00:40:24
			And so many of us are thinking why would Allah deprive us of coming to the masjid this Ramadan
		
00:40:26 --> 00:40:28
			and so my dear brothers and sisters
		
00:40:32 --> 00:40:37
			I am optimistic and every believer needs to be optimistic
		
00:40:40 --> 00:40:42
			in Allah subhanahu wa Tada
		
00:40:44 --> 00:40:46
			and we must believe
		
00:40:49 --> 00:40:50
			that Allah subhanahu wa Tada
		
00:40:51 --> 00:41:01
			will shower down his mercy upon us in this month of Ramadan and will bring this crisis to an end
soon.
		
00:41:03 --> 00:41:05
			It is something that the believer believes in.
		
00:41:07 --> 00:41:09
			It is something that we are certain of
		
00:41:10 --> 00:41:14
			the relief of Allah subhanho wa Taala is soon
		
00:41:15 --> 00:41:16
			it's not far away.
		
00:41:17 --> 00:41:22
			It's sooner than we think. And so we ask Allah subhanahu wa taala
		
00:41:23 --> 00:41:25
			to shower His mercy upon us
		
00:41:27 --> 00:41:29
			we ask Allah subhanho wa Taala
		
00:41:30 --> 00:41:31
			to open up
		
00:41:34 --> 00:41:36
			the gates of his houses
		
00:41:38 --> 00:41:45
			on earth just like he has opened up the gates of His mercy last night and the gates of Jana
