			way
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:25
			back home, warming up in LA how Rasulullah who are co defendants I was in Hawaii, about
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:38
			when Allah subhanho wa Taala prescribed fasting the month of Ramadan and he said yeah, you handle
Adina
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:47
			Latina and then cootie Valley como su Yan Khanna, cootie ballerina in publikum La La Quinta de cool
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:50
			when he prescribed fasting the month of Ramadan
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:55
			and he told us the objective behind it.
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:58
			There it is to achieve Taqwa.
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:03
			After that he explained what this month is,
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:07
			but not by referring to it as a month.
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:13
			And so he did not say SubhanaHu Attallah that it is a month
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:16
			but rather he said a year model that
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:24
			he said that it is a limited number of days.
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:26
			And there's a reason for that.
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:30
			And that is to remind us
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:37
			that these are a limited number of days. Yes, it's one month
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:40
			but it's a month
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:44
			that is made up of days that come and go.
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:47
			And so today
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:51
			we have already passed a 10th
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:54
			of the month of Ramadan.
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:57
			10 days have gone by
		
00:04:58 --> 00:04:59
			when it was only
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:03
			As if it was yesterday that we had started the month.
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:13
			And in this way, another 10 days will go by, and then another 10 days will go by and before we know
it
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:17
			before we know the month will be over.
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:23
			And so the question is, where do me and you stand
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:27
			at this point in the month of Ramadan?
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:32
			What What have we so far put forward?
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:36
			In our skill of good deeds?
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:38
			Where do we stand?
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:44
			Where do we stand in our relationship with Allah subhanho wa taala?
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:52
			Is our state today like it was before Ramadan beginning?
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:55
			Where
		
00:05:56 --> 00:06:02
			is our relationship with the book of ALLAH SubhanA wa, Medina, the Koran
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:06
			this month, which is the month of the Quran?
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:10
			Have we even opened up the Quran?
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:12
			To start reciting it?
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:17
			What is our relationship?
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:24
			What is our relationship with our fellow brothers and sisters?
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:29
			What is our relationship with our parents,
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:34
			with our children, and so on and so forth. And so this
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:43
			is a time now to stop and ask ourselves what have we done so far?
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:47
			Now is the time my dear brothers and sisters,
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:52
			to start filling our accounts with good deeds.
		
00:06:54 --> 00:07:03
			If we haven't done it so far, then now is the time now is the time to work hard and not to put it
off and see later.
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:07
			Because before we know it, the month will be over.
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:10
			And this is why
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:14
			this is why the people in the Grievers
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:18
			the people who are not with us today,
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:20
			they wish
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:24
			that they could come back to this dunya to spend
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:27
			only a single night of the month of Ramadan.
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:38
			And that's why if you Josie Rahim Allah Allah he says, he says By Allah, by Allah, if the people of
the greens
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:42
			were told to make a wish,
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:45
			they would wish
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:48
			a single day of the month of Ramadan.
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:56
			And likewise, AB Raja, he says that the greatest witch of the dead,
		
00:07:57 --> 00:08:07
			their greatest wish is to live is to live for an hour to come back to this dunya for an hour, to
make up
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:12
			to make up for what they missed of repentance,
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:17
			of good deeds, while the people of the dunya
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:22
			while the people of the dunya they are wasting their lives,
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:26
			spending their lives
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:33
			in that which does not benefit them. Rather some of them are even spending it in that which harms
them
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:36
			committing sins.
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:38
			And it is mentioned
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:42
			that there was a man who wants went to a graveyard.
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:47
			And after he made dua,
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:50
			he prayed to rockers.
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:54
			And then he laid down on his side.
		
00:08:56 --> 00:08:57
			And he went to sleep.
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:04
			So one of the inhabitants of the green rooms, he came to him in in his dream.
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:08
			He came to him in his dream and he said
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:22
			now while at allong that you guys, the people who are alive, you do good deeds, or you have the
opportunity.
		
00:09:24 --> 00:09:27
			But you don't know meaning you don't know
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:32
			the reality of life after death.
		
00:09:34 --> 00:09:35
			Whereas we
		
00:09:37 --> 00:09:38
			know now what?
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:43
			As for us in the graves, we know the reality.
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:46
			We know the reality of life after death.
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:50
			But we don't have that opportunity
		
00:09:51 --> 00:10:00
			to do even a single good deed. And then he said to him, these two records of yours that you prayed I
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:08
			I wish that they are in my record of DNS. They are more beloved to me than the dunya and all that is
in the dunya
		
00:10:11 --> 00:10:27
			Bartok Allah What do you have a conflict Quran when? Whenever anyway yeah can be Matthew He made it

00:11:10 --> 00:11:15
			Woman sobre el NSG he walked over a surah who was the head Dean
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:25
			for toquilla vida de la Rocky movies sit we were Najwa Yeah, young lady in Tapachula cool now saw
the thing.
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:30
			I've never had my dear brothers and sisters.
		
00:11:33 --> 00:11:36
			It is very saddening, and very unfortunate
		
00:11:38 --> 00:11:41
			that we have to spend yet another Ramadan
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:44
			away from one another.
		
00:11:45 --> 00:11:50
			With our misogyny having to shut their doors on us.
		
00:11:53 --> 00:11:55
			This is our second Ramadan.
		
00:11:56 --> 00:12:00
			Although this Ramadan was different in that we started it
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:03
			in the massager
		
00:12:05 --> 00:12:06
			and then we had to
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:09
			we had to close its doors.
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:12
			And so many of us are frustrated.
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:17
			It's a difficult time. And it's not easy.
		
00:12:18 --> 00:12:22
			Especially having tasted the sweetness of Rebadow.
		
00:12:24 --> 00:12:26
			In the houses of Allah subhanahu wa taharah.
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:31
			And then to have that to be stripped away from us.
		
00:12:33 --> 00:12:35
			And it's not easy, and it's difficult.
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:46
			But the reality is that we need to remind ourselves that this is yet another test from Allah
subhanahu.
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:50
			This is a test from Allah subhanahu wa taharah.
		
00:12:52 --> 00:12:59
			And how does a believer deal with the tests and the trials that Allah subhanho wa Taala makes them
to face
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:01
			it will call you and he mentions
		
00:13:03 --> 00:13:07
			that people with respect to the trials and the tests of Allah.
		
00:13:09 --> 00:13:10
			They're not all at the same level.
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:15
			But rather, they're on four different levels.
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:20
			The first is the level of those who are impatient.
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:24
			They become frustrated.
		
00:13:25 --> 00:13:29
			They can't handle that test at trial. And they're always complaining.
		
00:13:31 --> 00:13:36
			The second level is the level of those who are patient.
		
00:13:38 --> 00:13:39
			They put up with a difficulty
		
00:13:40 --> 00:13:44
			that tests they realize it's from Allah, and I'm going to be patient.
		
00:13:46 --> 00:13:47
			But that's where they stop.
		
00:13:48 --> 00:13:56
			Deep down inside. They're not satisfied. They're not happy. But they said you know what I'm gonna,
I'm gonna bear with it picture.
		
00:13:58 --> 00:14:00
			He says the third level are those
		
00:14:02 --> 00:14:03
			who are not only patient
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:09
			but who move on to the level of satisfaction,
		
00:14:10 --> 00:14:11
			contentment,
		
00:14:12 --> 00:14:25
			they're satisfied. They're content. They're happy, at the decree of Allah subhanahu wa Tahara
whatever Allah has decreed for me, I'm satisfied with it, I'm content.
		
00:14:27 --> 00:14:33
			But then there is a fourth level and a fourth category of people
		
00:14:34 --> 00:14:36
			who go above and beyond
		
00:14:37 --> 00:14:41
			and these are those closest to Allah subhanho wa taala.
		
00:14:42 --> 00:14:50
			They are those who are not only patient who are not only satisfied and content with the decree of
Allah.
		
00:14:51 --> 00:14:52
			But then on top of that
		
00:14:55 --> 00:14:58
			they are grateful to Allah subhana wa Tada
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:00
			grateful for what
		
00:15:02 --> 00:15:07
			they are grateful to Allah subhanho wa Taala for sending them this test in this trial.
		
00:15:08 --> 00:15:33
			Not only are they happy, not only are they satisfied, but they actually thank Allah that all I thank
you for meeting me to go through this. Why? Because peace tests and these trials, it opens the eyes
of the true servants of Allah subhanho wa Taala
		
00:15:34 --> 00:15:42
			it opens their eyes. For some of them, it makes them to return back to Allah subhanahu wa Tada.
		
00:15:43 --> 00:16:05
			For others, it makes them to realize that they were living a life of a blessing. And once it was
taken away, they are grateful to Allah for showing them that this was a blessing from you, Oh Allah,
and now you have taken it away from me. If you had not taken it away from me, I would never have
been able to thank you for it.
		
00:16:08 --> 00:16:10
			So my dear brothers and sisters
		
00:16:16 --> 00:16:19
			we have to remember, first and foremost
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:23
			that everything is in the hands of Allah subhanho wa taala.
		
00:16:27 --> 00:16:31
			That if we have to spend another Ramadan like this,
		
00:16:33 --> 00:16:38
			then this was a decree of Allah subhana wa Tada that could never have been averted.
		
00:16:40 --> 00:16:52
			No matter what we did, no matter how capable we were, we would never be able to we would never have
been able to avert what Allah subhanho wa Taala had planned.
		
00:16:54 --> 00:16:57
			Therefore, we have to stop complaining
		
00:16:58 --> 00:17:07
			and stop putting the blame on Allah subhana who was at it? Stop objecting to the decree of Allah
subhanahu wa Tada.
		
00:17:08 --> 00:17:09
			Let us
		
00:17:11 --> 00:17:23
			well, who knows Arun? Allah is never questioned, why does he do this? Why does he do that? But
rather it is a we who will be questioned about what we do.
		
00:17:25 --> 00:17:28
			What I said an Takahashi and we're hiring.
		
00:17:29 --> 00:17:33
			Perhaps we may see something as being evil as being negative.
		
00:17:36 --> 00:17:42
			But it is better for us. So we have to realize that the decree of Allah
		
00:17:43 --> 00:17:47
			it is for our own good. Secondly,
		
00:17:49 --> 00:17:53
			we have to reflect over why this has happened.
		
00:17:54 --> 00:17:56
			And so there is no doubt
		
00:17:57 --> 00:17:58
			there is no doubt
		
00:18:00 --> 00:18:02
			that blessings
		
00:18:03 --> 00:18:10
			are stripped away from us. Because we have become distinct from Allah subhanho wa taala.
		
00:18:12 --> 00:18:15
			It's because of our own demons. It's because of our sin.
		
00:18:17 --> 00:18:25
			We need to reflect deeply over this. Because once we reflect over this, we'll know how to get
ourselves out of this situation.
		
00:18:28 --> 00:18:39
			And that is by turning back to Allah subhanahu wa taala there's no doubt that the only way for
adversities and calamities to be lifted
		
00:18:40 --> 00:18:49
			is by turning back to Allah subhanahu wa Tada sincerely repenting to Allah from our sinful lives
		
00:18:50 --> 00:18:56
			and getting back into good terms with Allah subhanho wa taala. Thirdly
		
00:19:01 --> 00:19:01
			thirdly
		
00:19:06 --> 00:19:08
			we also need to realize,
		
00:19:10 --> 00:19:11
			we also need to realize
		
00:19:15 --> 00:19:31
			that most of us will only truly value a blessing from Allah. Once it is taken away from us. And this
is the reality of most of us. It's only a handful of the servants of Allah
		
00:19:35 --> 00:19:42
			who sank Allah subhanahu wa Tada in both good times and difficult times.
		
00:19:44 --> 00:19:46
			It is only the true servants of Allah
		
00:19:49 --> 00:19:55
			who realize the value of the blessings of Allah not just when they're taken away,
		
00:19:56 --> 00:19:59
			but also when we're enjoying them.
		
00:20:01 --> 00:20:05
			And we're living in prosperous times.
		
00:20:06 --> 00:20:08
			But for the vast majority of us,
		
00:20:09 --> 00:20:17
			we only truly value the blessing once it's taken away from us, and we see that in this month of
Ramadan
		
00:20:18 --> 00:20:22
			this is one of the things that fasting it teaches us
		
00:20:23 --> 00:20:24
			when
		
00:20:26 --> 00:20:29
			when we're stripped of our food and drink
		
00:20:32 --> 00:20:33
			and we have to fast
		
00:20:35 --> 00:20:53
			this reminds us that there are those who don't have anything to eat or drink, not only in Ramadan,
but throughout the year. This is one of the things that fasting teaches us to value, the blessings
of Allah subhana who, what?
		
00:20:54 --> 00:20:56
			And likewise, there's
		
00:20:57 --> 00:20:59
			no Ramadan together.
		
00:21:00 --> 00:21:04
			No communal is Thor's no totally.
		
00:21:05 --> 00:21:07
			No ethic as a perhaps,
		
00:21:09 --> 00:21:10
			no eat together.
		
00:21:13 --> 00:21:17
			These are blessings of Allah, that today
		
00:21:18 --> 00:21:23
			we are valuing why? Because now they have been taken away from us.
		
00:21:25 --> 00:21:29
			Now let us remember that there are those
		
00:21:30 --> 00:21:32
			of our brothers and sisters
		
00:21:33 --> 00:21:46
			who have had these blessings stripped away from them, not just in the month of Ramadan, but
throughout the year. And not just a second Ramadan before but perhaps
		
00:21:48 --> 00:21:57
			for years on end, those of our brothers and sisters who have been imprisoned unjustly throughout the
world,
		
00:21:59 --> 00:22:14
			and those of our brothers and sisters, who perhaps are isolated in hospitals, not able to be
together with their loved ones, or participate in the misogyny in the Salawat.
		
00:22:15 --> 00:22:19
			And in all of these communal gatherings
		
00:22:21 --> 00:22:25
			we should remember them and be grateful to Allah subhanahu wa jahana
		
00:22:26 --> 00:22:30
			for the blessings of Allah subhanahu wa. Finally,
		
00:22:32 --> 00:22:35
			finally, as we sit at home,
		
00:22:38 --> 00:22:40
			unable to come
		
00:22:41 --> 00:22:43
			to the houses of Allah subhanahu wa Tada.
		
00:22:45 --> 00:22:46
			Let us remember
		
00:22:49 --> 00:22:52
			that one of the best forms of a bad
		
00:22:53 --> 00:22:54
			is not
		
00:22:56 --> 00:23:01
			that he bad that you do in front of others, but rather,
		
00:23:02 --> 00:23:16
			the most beloved form of liberta in the sake of Allah is to do it away from the seat of people. And
so today, me and you have that opportunity. Take advantage of it, because
		
00:23:17 --> 00:23:21
			it's not something that comes it's not something that comes all the time.
		
00:23:23 --> 00:23:26
			So take advantage of this time in solitude.
		
00:23:28 --> 00:23:29
			At home,
		
00:23:30 --> 00:23:35
			behind the most half, reciting the Quran, take India.
		
00:23:36 --> 00:23:42
			Take advantage of this time, get up to pray, salata, tarawih, at home,
		
00:23:44 --> 00:23:47
			and clear Malaya, to 200
		
00:23:48 --> 00:23:49
			in solitude.
		
00:23:51 --> 00:23:57
			And remember, that one of those who are shaded by the shade of Allah,
		
00:23:59 --> 00:24:02
			on a day in which there will be no shade except the shade of Allah
		
00:24:03 --> 00:24:04
			is the one
		
00:24:05 --> 00:24:13
			who remembers a loss of Hannah who went to Hannah in solitude, all by himself, away from the eyes of
the people.
		
00:24:16 --> 00:24:19
			And because of him being alone with Allah,
		
00:24:20 --> 00:24:36
			he sheds tears out of fear of Allah subhanahu wa Tahara and he crimes and because of this, Allah
subhanho wa Taala will shade him under his shade. On that day. We ask Allah subhanho wa Taala
		
00:24:38 --> 00:25:00
			to make us from among those whose deeds in this month of Ramadan have been accepted. We ask Allah
subhanahu at 100 to make us from among those who raise to do good deeds in whatever remains of this
month. We ask Allah subhana who were to her to gather us and unite us once again and remove this
