00:01:40 --> 00:01:42
			It was only as if
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:44
			it was a short while back.
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:50
			That we were bidding farewell to the month of Ramadan
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:57
			and today we are welcoming the month of Ramadan once again
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:03
			a year has gone by
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:08
			from one Ramadan to the next
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:12
			and the year of your life has gone by.
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:19
			And that My dear brothers and sisters is the very nature of this life in which we live.
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:22
			It's a cycle.
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:26
			One year comes in one year goes
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:30
			and we are constantly
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:33
			in this never ending cycle
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:37
			that will one day soon come to an end.
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:42
			And this is how this dunya is
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:46
			it was only yesterday
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:52
			that you're welcoming a new born into this world.
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:56
			And today you're praying his janazah
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:02
			it was only yesterday that you received your birth certificate.
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:05
			And today you are receiving your death certificate.
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:10
			Yesterday when you were born
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:13
			you came into this dunya crying
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:17
			while those around you were smiling and laughing.
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:27
			Tomorrow the people around you will be crying as they're burying you into your grave
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:34
			My dear brothers and sisters
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:39
			as the month of Ramadan approaches
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:42
			and is on our doorstep.
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:45
			There are a few pointers
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:49
			that we need to keep in mind
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:55
			a few pieces of advice that I ask Allah subhanho wa Tada
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:58
			to benefit each and every single one of us.
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:00
			The first point
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:04
			is that the true believer
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:08
			he looks forward. He longs for He yearns
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:11
			for the coming of the month of Ramadan.
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:15
			He looks forward to it.
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:17
			He longs for it.
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:27
			Because he knows that it's an opportunity for the INDATA of Allah subhanho wa Taala it's an
opportunity to get closer to Allah subhanahu wa Tada.
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:31
			And so just like businessmen,
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:35
			they don't make profit all at one time throughout the year.
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:42
			But rather, they look forward to certain seasons in which
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:46
			they look forward to making a lot of profit.
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:54
			Likewise, Allah subhanho wa Taala has made certain times of the year to be profitable
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:57
			to gain reward
		
00:04:58 --> 00:04:59
			to stock up those rewards
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:01
			To invest in our athletes
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:21
			and so it is mentioned in another Ramadan, a woman will not mean well hormonal and fragile. The
Ramadan is a profit for the believer, but it is a loss for the weekend. This is why the self
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:27
			they would make dua to Allah subhanho wa Taala
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:40
			six months prior to the coming of the month of Ramadan asking Allah subhanahu wa taala to give them
the opportunity to witness the month of Ramadan
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:43
			Secondly,
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:48
			this year has been a tough one
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:51
			this year that has gone by
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:55
			has taken with it many
		
00:05:58 --> 00:06:00
			there were those who were with us last Ramadan
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:03
			who are no longer with us today.
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:06
			And they are many
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:12
			whether they be friends, whether they be relatives, whether they be family.
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:18
			Whether they be scholars, we all know
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:20
			of someone
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:23
			who was with us last Ramadan
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:26
			and they are not with us today.
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:30
			What does that teach us?
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:33
			It teaches us
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:37
			to take this month of Ramadan seriously.
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:47
			Why because if you were with us last Ramadan and you are with us this Ramadan, it may be that you
won't be here next Ramadan
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:55
			so what's the time to take advantage of it's not a time to waste.
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:10
			Many of us we've gotten into the habit of spending hours upon hours behind that screen behind our
phones. It's time to put those phones down
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:15
			and spend hours behind the most have
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:18
			spent time in the masjid.
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:27
			If you are alive today it is a blessing from Allah subhanho wa Taala not to waste.
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:45
			If the masajid here are open this Ramadan for us, but yet they are closed for many in other parts of
the world. It's a blessing for us. The others have been deprived of don't let it go to waste.
		
00:07:46 --> 00:08:00
			Don't say I'm going to spend Ramadan at home this year, just like I did last year. If the mystery is
open, then we're excused you have come pre the daily follow what come pre salata tarawih
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:05
			thirdly
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:10
			beware
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:15
			beware of something very dangerous,
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:18
			that has afflicted many Muslims today.
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:21
			This is something
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:26
			that we may say, You know what? It doesn't affect me.
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:28
			So it's not a big deal.
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:39
			But I'm sure each and every single one of us we know of Muslims, whether it be family, relatives,
friends, people we know
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:42
			who have fallen into this
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:45
			and this is
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:48
			neglecting,
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:52
			neglecting fasting the month of Ramadan.
		
00:08:55 --> 00:09:00
			Fasting the month of Ramadan is one of the pillars of Islam that the deen of Islam stands upon.
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:09
			And yet there are those Muslims who claim to be Muslims, and yet they don't care about fasting this
month.
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:16
			In a hadith in which the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam narrates
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:19
			a dream to his companions,
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:25
			certain scenes, certain horrible scenes that he saw in a dream.
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:50
			He told his companions that he was with these angels who are taking him from one place to another.
He says until I was at a mountain and I heard loud voices. And I asked Who are these are what are
these voices? What are the sounds? And so the angels told him. This is the howling of the people of
the Hellfire.
		
00:09:52 --> 00:09:56
			Then I was taken to a place where there were people
		
00:09:57 --> 00:09:59
			who were hanging from their hamstrings.
		
00:10:02 --> 00:10:09
			with their mouths with the quarters of their mouths ripped and torn and dripping with blood.
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:12
			And so I asked Who are these?
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:16
			And so they said,
		
00:10:17 --> 00:10:26
			these are people who would break their fast meaning in the month of Ramadan before the proper time
was to break the fast
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:35
			meaning that these people intentionally did not fast, intentionally broke their fast in the month of
Ramadan.
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:41
			So the scholars of Islam unanimously agree that anyone
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:47
			who abandons fasting the month of Ramadan, even if it be one day
		
00:10:48 --> 00:10:51
			without a legitimate excuse,
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:59
			then it is a major sin. Some of these scholars even doubted whether such people were Muslim or not.

00:12:16 --> 00:12:18
			My dear brothers and sisters,
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:21
			the last point I wanted to share with all of you
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:25
			as we approach the month of Ramadan
		
00:12:27 --> 00:12:27
			is
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:31
			something very, very important and that is
		
00:12:33 --> 00:12:34
			the importance
		
00:12:36 --> 00:12:38
			of learning
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:40
			and seeking knowledge
		
00:12:43 --> 00:12:45
			of the rulings pertaining to the month of Ramadan
		
00:12:47 --> 00:12:49
			especially the rulings pertaining to fasting.
		
00:12:53 --> 00:13:04
			And so when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, tabula, help me for you or Allah called
the Muslim, that seeking knowledge is an obligation upon each and every single Muslim.
		
00:13:05 --> 00:13:09
			What this means, is seeking knowledge
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:16
			of that, which will make our data correct and valid.
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:19
			Otherwise, seeking knowledge
		
00:13:20 --> 00:13:21
			is a virtue.
		
00:13:22 --> 00:13:33
			Traveling to seek knowledge and spending years to seek knowledge and becoming a student of
knowledge, that is a virtue that is not obligatory upon each and every single Muslim.
		
00:13:36 --> 00:13:46
			But what is obligatory upon each and every single Muslim, is to gain at least that much knowledge
that will make our Ibadah
		
00:13:47 --> 00:13:51
			acceptable and valid in the sight of Allah subhana, whom.
		
00:13:52 --> 00:13:54
			And so fasting is one of the pillars of Islam.
		
00:13:56 --> 00:14:03
			Fasting is one of the pillars of Islam, and it has certain rulings that are connected to it.
		
00:14:04 --> 00:14:15
			That no Muslim who has reached the age of puberty and same has any excuse for being ignorant of
these rulings.
		
00:14:16 --> 00:14:20
			So just like Salah has certain rulings attached to it,
		
00:14:22 --> 00:14:33
			that are obligatory upon each and every single Muslim to be aware of. Likewise, fasting has certain
rulings that each and every single Muslim must be aware of.
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:42
			But among these rulings, that is of utmost importance, is that which is related to what
		
00:14:43 --> 00:14:49
			makes the fast valid and what breaks the fast and so many,
		
00:14:50 --> 00:14:57
			many ask concerning what breaks the fast does this break the fast does that break the fast
		
00:14:59 --> 00:14:59
			and slow
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:07
			Want to leave us with three golden rules and three principles? If we were to understand these
principles
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:22
			and memorize them, they will help us to resolve many questions that come to us during the month of
Ramadan, concerning what breaks fast. The first of these principles is
		
00:15:24 --> 00:15:32
			that nothing breaks the fast except that which has been mentioned by Allah or the messenger
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
		
00:15:34 --> 00:15:51
			And so that which breaks the fast is among those things which are known as the matters of totally
FIEA that which is dependent upon either a verse in the Quran or Hadith a statement of the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wasallam. So if anyone comes to you and says this breaks a fast,
		
00:15:53 --> 00:15:55
			and he doesn't quote for you an idea or Hadith,
		
00:15:57 --> 00:16:08
			then you have to ask him, What is the evidence from the Quran, or from the Sunnah, that this
particular thing, it breaks fast. The second principle is
		
00:16:09 --> 00:16:12
			that your fast only breaks,
		
00:16:13 --> 00:16:15
			we with three conditions.
		
00:16:17 --> 00:16:34
			If you know that something breaks a fast, it doesn't break the fast except if three conditions or if
one of these three conditions are met. The first is that you do so while in a state of remembrance,
meaning you don't break your fast forgetful.
		
00:16:35 --> 00:16:40
			So if you break your fast, forget fully, it doesn't break the faster, faster still valid.
		
00:16:41 --> 00:16:42
			The second condition is
		
00:16:43 --> 00:17:15
			that you break your fast, you break it with knowledge, meaning you know that this thing breaks fast.
It's not based upon ignorance. If you break your fast not knowing that this thing breaks your fast,
then your fast is still valid. And the third is that you break your fast, willingly, meaning that no
one forced you to break your fast. If someone forces you to break your fast, and you have no other
choice,
		
00:17:16 --> 00:17:20
			then your fast is still valid. The third principle,
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:25
			the third principle is
		
00:17:27 --> 00:17:33
			concerning what enters into our body. And this is where many people get confused.
		
00:17:35 --> 00:17:51
			So we say that as long as something enters into your mouth or your nose and reaches your stomach,
then it breaks your fast. Because these are the normal passage ways to the stomach.
		
00:17:53 --> 00:17:54
			It doesn't matter what
		
00:17:55 --> 00:17:57
			it doesn't matter what you swallow it
		
00:17:58 --> 00:18:03
			as long as it enters to through the mouth or through the nose, then it breaks your fast.
		
00:18:05 --> 00:18:06
			But now how about
		
00:18:07 --> 00:18:11
			things that enter your body through other than that normal passageway?
		
00:18:13 --> 00:18:26
			This is where many people get confused. And we get question after question. Does the spring break
the fast does that thing break the fast and these things are mostly medical related.
		
00:18:28 --> 00:18:30
			And so things entering through the ear,
		
00:18:31 --> 00:18:34
			things entering through the eyes,
		
00:18:35 --> 00:18:38
			things entering through injections.
		
00:18:39 --> 00:18:40
			The rule is
		
00:18:42 --> 00:18:47
			that anything that enters to your body through other than the normal passageway
		
00:18:48 --> 00:18:55
			if it provides nourishment to your body replacing food and drink then it breaks a fast
		
00:18:56 --> 00:19:00
			but if it does not provide nourishment to the body, then it does not break the fast.
		
00:19:03 --> 00:19:05
			And so based upon this we understand
		
00:19:07 --> 00:19:12
			that what many people are asking about these days about the COVID vaccine.
		
00:19:13 --> 00:19:29
			It is a vaccination injection that does not provide nourishment to your body. Therefore it does not
break the fast. And so if you have an appointment during the month of Ramadan, you don't have to
cancel it. The injection does not break the fast.
		
00:19:31 --> 00:19:49
			As for those injections that do break the fast then they are injections like IV injections where the
purpose of it is to give you nourishment to replace food and drink that you cannot take. And so we
ask Allah Subhana Allah to Haida
		
00:19:51 --> 00:19:55
			to give us knowledge of our deen We ask Allah subhanahu wa to Hannah
		
00:19:56 --> 00:19:59
			to allow us to reach the month of Ramadan
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:48
