Majed Mahmoud – Let’s Get Ready for Ramadan

			Rasool allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam tells you an eye what happens on the first night ready?
Allah chains, the devils and restrains the evil Jin Allahu Akbar, all the doors of * will be
locked, not one is open and all the doors of Jannah are opened not one is closed. Then he said a
call or calls you may not hear it, but you will want to feel it. That person will say oh you who
wants to become a better person? Or you who wants to start a new page? A couple This is the day this
is your time, but he makes another announcement who knows there's another announcement well yeah
badly or shut up. On Oh, yeah, who's messing up so bad? Quit it. Stop stop doing the evil or you
		

			who's doing all so much corruption. This is not the time make Toba to Allah subhanho wa Taala then
the end of this hadith the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says, Every night Allah selects
certain people that will never ever go to *. That's it done non negotiable. And this starts from
the first night.
		

			Ramadan is special because a good deal of Ramadan is unlike any other month agreed? Rasul allah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says your enrollment fee Ramadan tanjiro Had you performing or Omura in
Ramadan is equivalent and reward to performing Hajj. Rasul allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he used
to utilize the Ramadan so well. Anything about the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam to the most
part, you have to go to another level of Ramadan. I'll be very frank with you many times when people
say I don't see my schedule changing in Ramadan. You heard that before. Why? Because I already read
Quran I really pray actually really fast, you know, pretty much Mondays and Thursdays. So I don't
		

			see my schedule changing much. That's not a humble way of speaking. That's not that's how you talk.
And that's not how you infer your goals. Because even Rasool allah sallallahu alayhi wa salam ala
moana and everything changed. His charity changed yes or no? You have proof. You have proof.
		

			You sent the only benefit Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam Sahaba said Can I ask you the
nurse? He was the most generous human being ever walked on Earth? But his generosity would to reach
the peak and Ramadan Allahu Akbar. So can you go another level? So what about dawn comes in sha
Allah and other tactics in charity comes in. The number that you give has to make you uncomfortable?
You always go to lunch good which app you always pick the $100 option, but about 100 100 Now Ramadan
175 No actually bigger 1000 Make it 500 And the whole uncomfortableness comes from the Ireland
tonight we'll get on
		

			to Hepburn Allah says you will not reach righteousness until you get from that which you love. And
when you give that what you love, you're not that comfortable. You're right like you had and that's
what you have to go through and Ramadan May Allah grant you all success and you know what schools
for you to hear this when there's not fundraiser right? So this is my first $10,000 inshallah.
		

			Right? So Rasul Allah as I said, chakra Ramadan. The why is it so special? By lady Auntie Luffy
Hill? Quran because it was the month in which the Quran was revealed the Quran, which is the speech
of Allah the Quran, which is collected in the book that you have at home in the Maasai, the Quran,
which is 114 chapters, the Quran that starts from fatty hands with a NAS the Quran is that with
Jelastic, Yama, Yama, the Quran, which every letter that you read this 10 pasinetta, Allah
multiplies the Quran, who then the nurse which guidance is in it, what the anatomy Hooda went for
con, I don't say it's complicated because Allah said Buddha, then he says we're begging acting mean
		

			alHuda and Allah says it's clear. It's not complicated. Quran is not complicated. No, yeah, brother,
but you know, it's actually I'm really struggling. Okay. When you study for your exam, what did you
do? What do you mean when you study for the exam? Did you go to a coffee shop? Yeah, one time you go
to a library? Yeah. Did you put Do Not Disturb? Sometimes? Do you tell your mom and dad please don't
call me unless there's an urgent matter. Yes. So you gave your biology exam so much focus? Yes. What
do you get an A great. Did you do the amount of effort towards the Quran? No, the Quran will give
you what you give it
		

			it gives the Quran five minutes randomness while you're in the drive thru of Dairy Queen.
		

			Okay, it will not give you what you read in the reviews. cron changed my life. I wasn't Dairy Queen.
I didn't change my life. Yeah, because even five minutes you won't get a plus and calculus when he
there five minutes. agreed to be very honest. Allah says well as per the external Quran, the vicar
Allah said we made the Quran easy, easy to memorize, easy to understand and easy to apply. Yes, it's
possible it's not impossible. It's possible. The Haman would decade anybody wants to take this
challenge? Anybody wants to live this verse. Anybody want to put the effort anybody's gonna do
everything they can? So it's there. Allah says By unanimous Buddha. Allah says, well, for conduits
		

			well for call criteria is that to differentiate the truth from falsehood? That's the Quran. Quran
will tell you what's extreme and what's not extreme, not a tech talk. Not to
		

			What's not a TED Talk? Not a guy that comes up mentioned his name. Yeah, because he comes. And then
he shows you two images. He shows on his right side if I'm not mistaken that I had to lower my gaze
on the other image. So the first image, there was a sister wearing Islamic attire. Okay, she had a
cop and everything. Then the next image, a woman wearing a bathing suit, like a two piece, even
though Mike
		

			even the mic lowered their voice.
		

			It says battery. So the other was the first image. You guys hear that? Okay, second image.
		

			I learned my lesson. It's a sight. Hello. So then this guy says look at this extreme, completely
covered head to toe and look at this other extreme, not covered except together. Okay. He said, look
at these two extremes. Can we not be somewhere in the middle? And people like?
		

			him, he chose his brain to be God. You'd see that. He chose what middle? He chose what Gallic agenda
to omit and also he said no, I'll tell you what's the the middle that what's the best law Allah will
tell me what's extreme what's not extreme. Rasul? Allah is Allah Allahu Allah will tell you that
beer is an extreme extremists thing to do or not. Rasool allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam if waking
up for Fudger is too much or not. Allah subhanho wa Taala the fasting animada will kill me or not.
Allah tell me what's right and what's wrong, Al Furqan and Quran because if there's no relationship
with the Quran, then we're completely misguided. If we don't connect local on we're dead.
		

			I know I am around Cleveland Clinic. And I know there are physicians in the crowd. But there is no
connection with the Quran. We're dead. And these are not my words. Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam said, method will lady yes Quran. The example of the one who remembers Allah and the greatest
of remembrance is the Quran. And the one who does not do they care can how you will meet? Is that
the one who is alive and almost dead? Yes, your heartbeats. Yes, you're healthy. Yes, you're strong
but you're spiritually dead. So how to have that resurrection. Go back to the Quran, shahada,
Ramadan and that even Xena field Kurata Ania Allah what will happen to you and I when we connect to
		

			the Quran, what will happen to you and I when we live the Quran, think of OBE Monica one time Rasul
allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and every time you hear that beautiful name, say some la Allahu
alayhi wa sallam, he went to obey. He says, Yeah, obey. Allah told me to tell you see that? Allah
told me to tell you and read to you a surah from the Quran.
		

			So what is obey thinking? As a man you're obeying Allah mentioned to you my name like he told the
read to obey, not as a brother. He actually said my name is Ed Nam, and start crying and crying and
crying. Obey. Brothers and sisters was not known to narrate Hadith like Abu Hurayrah
		

			obey was not known to fight with Khalid obey was not known to donate like a snack. Obey was not
known to serve the profit like Ennis obey was known to be man of Quran. A man of Quran makes Allah
Jalla Jalla mentioned you by name Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says that Allah subhanho wa
Taala has VIP people in relay Lina I mean a nurse VIP status. So that's a habit and who are they are
also Allah? Who are they? Because we want to be part of this. How does it feel in dunya to have a
VIP tag? How does it feel? Right? How does it feel to one oh, this is the speaker's lounge. This is
my tech Subhan Allah pristine in the dunya central debtor's What about with Allah subhanho wa Taala
		

			VIP care by Allah Subhan Allah to Allah, who are they also Allah he says ethylone Quran Allah Allah
Maha Sato. They are the people of the Quran. They take the Quran seriously. They work hard, they
struggle, they struggle. There's a language barrier. They try to learn a few words they tried to,
you know, work hard on their language lab as they tried to understand open up the translation, they
try and watch some videos. Allah love these people, not just that there's a special reward for those
who struggle yes or no special reward. Rasool allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says the one who
reads the Quran very very well as Mufti I have mentioned they are with the angels very high end
		

			elite and the one who reads the Quran why yet Ah, that's what he said. Yeah, Tata like you start Are
you struggling al Hamad Al hamdu is struggling. Bella who agilon You get double the reward
Subhanallah ye the reward of the struggle and the reward of the presentation?
		

			But you try insha Allah that you try, and no one can say I tried it didn't work. Sorry. And as if
they say that's okay. A little bit too confident there. It's fine. You cannot say I tried it didn't
work. Because there's two options. One option is haram. We don't believe in that, that Allah did not
fulfill this promise that Allah fulfills His promise. The other one, you might not be doing it
right? Or not try enough. You see that? Why? Because Allah says whoever works to me I do
		

			Walk back luck. There'll be pretty awesome. Lots more. If you walk to Allah Allah says he will run
to you. But you have to walk. You have to open that book. Yes, it will be a bit embarrassing. It's
okay. It's not really embarrassing. Try open that book. Make mistakes no problem. May Allah make it
easy for all of you say I mean and you know Bill alanine then Allah says Simon shared them in common
Shadowfall your son, whoever witnesses the month of Ramadan, then be sure to fast. Make sure this
has an obligation. Now fasting the month of Ramadan is a word is a pillar of Islam. And if you fast
what happens? Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says mon sama Ramadan whoever fast the month of
		

			Ramadan out of a man out of belief that's a pillar of Islam out of Eman that this is something I
have to do out of a man that God doesn't need it but I need God out of Eman that something as a
Muslim I have to do what I deserve and out of two conditions out of faith and out of hope hope you
look forward to the reward you don't do it just because everybody's doing it. Well if I eat
something I'll look stupid let us know why you fast deserve and you hope for Allah's reward you're
excited for it. If you do these two conditions while you fast what happens? Oh fear Allah who made
the cut them in them they all of your previous sins are extinguished, all of your previous sins are
		

			erased. May Allah Allah was with this Ramadan and may Allah make us fasted Eman and what disobey
Allah Allah Allah mean our faith and hope your love is Smilla and this deen is a balanced Deen
agreed.
		

			So we speak about hope and we speak about fear. Allah says, offering them vocabulary of Allah
forgives the sins accepts your return. Right after that, what does he say? Same verse Shahidullah
Severen punishment. Right and doesn't he never warns you except that he loves you remember that he
never warned you except that he loves you.
		

			If all of our hearts were in accordance to the purest heart on Earth, Allah's value does not
increase.
		

			Allah began the Quran by praising his own self, he doesn't need you or me he began Alhamdulillah he
said, not you alright? So when he says these things to wake you up? Never did he tell you to do
something except that it's good for you. Never did he tell you stay away from something said that.
It's bad for you. You have to believe in that Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa said an authentic
narration.
		

			He said that I had a dream and the dreams of prophets are a form of revelation in truth. It's not
like some random dream that we have. So part of that dream he says to man to God, that I was walking
with an angel into Djibouti Isola. And I saw a group of people being hung being hung from the back
of their feet so they're pretty much upside down.
		

			Then he says, Musa taka tune Ashida who whom their lips were torn, their cheeks were torn apart. To
see to watch their own demo. It was bleeding. Very scary scene. So rasool Allah is Allah Allahu
Allah isn't set to jump in manha hula upside down lips and cheeks torn apart bleeding Who are these
people? I Levine youth the Runa Kubla to * later saw me him they're the ones who break the fast
before the time.
		

			Anybody to her like whatever acid drop it may Allah protect us. If this was the punishment of the
one who breaks it before Muslim? What's the punishment of the one who doesn't even fast?
		

			May Allah protect us for no excuse? Me Allah protect us and forgive us.
		

			Sinning Allah subhanho wa Taala is Rahim. Allah is Allah man. Right after this part I mentioned to
you about the ayah Allah says woman Kanima Leoben of Allah suffer but if you were genuinely sick, or
you were traveling to I don't mean a Yemen or Holland break your fast and make a fort later Allahu
Akbar. You read Allah Hobi common use Allah wants ease for you while I read to become and also Allah
is I don't want things to be difficult on you. Allahu Akbar. He's made the door open for us if
you're sick okay, what determines sickness health you know?
		

			What is it?
		

			Okay, how bad of a sickness can make you break your fast growing? Throwing up? Okay, okay, I see
what does that look like? What else?
		

			A fever what temperature?
		

			Oh my god. Oh 98.9 According to Google, I should be 98.7.
		

			Cent
		

			Excellent. So he says if a doctor tells you or in your situation, you have to have this medication
that certain hours, which will prohibit you or stop you from fasting. That's an example I sent
right. Do you notice something? Subhanallah sometimes, you know, especially with younger kids and
you know middle schooler they come at 7am on a Monday, and they start telling their parents Oh, my
throat hurts. 70 Every Monday Subhanallah I don't think I should be going to school today. Right?
I'm dehydrated. Look at this. Subhanallah so the sickness aspect to the most part
		

			As Dmitri is your self consciousness.
		

			Yanni Do you really think you cannot proceed and fasting? Is it really going to cause you harm? Are
you really going to suffer? This is something between you and Allah subhanaw taala May Allah grant
us good self consciousness. May Allah grant us a high level of Taqwa and Iman Yarrabah. alanine,
then you have the topic of traveling, and also traveling and go into depth and sickness can go into
a lot of depth. But man, this is not the time to go into a lot of depth. But just to share with you
a couple of points to show you Allah Rama. When it comes to traveling, I'll share with you two
opinions ready or two cases, right insha Allah. The first case is if fasting and not fasting while
		

			traveling are the same. Does it happen sometimes, it's just as easy or just as difficult. For
example, someone's traveling from Cleveland to Dallas, actually, let's say Cleveland to New York as
a timezone. Cleveland to New York Mangrum is at 8pm and a little bit technical, but a good example
Magnum is that what time eight, your flight departs at seven, but dinner will not be served until
eight, for example, was the first class right so you're gonna wait till eight to have dinner anyways
in the flight and Melody it is anyways that eight o'clock, if to you is just as easy, then generally
you're encouraged to continue fasting. Fair enough. But what if I want to break my fast there's
		

			nothing wrong with that whatsoever. Fair enough. But I'm going to Allah and an Akron I want to clean
that suffer. That's traveling from A to F especially out of Forgive me at
		

			Cleveland Heights. Well, I'm sorry, what is it wherever it's alright, I went to this place is a
different zip code like this. Now what works? Right? May Allah protect us. So my point being here,
this is an example of the sufferer. Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, the Sahaba said we used
to travel with the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, whether you're able saw him at an after?
Well, after our son, we used to travel and the one who chose to continue fasting never rebuked the
one who broke their fast or you're a weak Muslim, that would never say stuff like that. And the one
who broke their fast, do not repeat the ones who kept fasting or you guys are extremists. It mean,
		

			they respected both. The other and last scenario to share with you is when fasting while traveling
is more difficult,
		

			is more difficult. Here, you might be encouraged to break your fast and this out of respect to Allah
subhanaw taala the ban, no scholar that I'm aware of, because there's I think, almost like an
instrument if I'm not mistaken majority of scholars at minimum. They agree that if you choose to
fast while traveling, even if it's hard, your fasting counts, your fasting counts, don't say Oh, it
doesn't count. But one time also ally sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was traveling with a Sahaba. And
then while they're traveling, some chose to continue fasting and others chose to break their fast.
So far, so good. However, the Hadith says, the saw a moon, those who are fasting, they were
		

			dehydrated, they were exhausted, they were knocked out. The ones who broke their fast were the ones
that set up the tents were the ones that filled the jugs with water, and the ones that fed the
people. So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam said they hadn't moved the room and had been agile
equally.
		

			The ones who broke their fast are the ones who got the pretty much all the reward right? Not doesn't
mean that the ones who did not break their fast, they will not get the reward that he strongly
encouraged that they haven't moved through Niyama will agile, they're the ones who got the reward,
because this was the right thing for them to do. May Allah protect the Seattle behind me. So then we
proceed with the idea. And this is the last part. Allah says when he took me down. So finish the
prescribed days of fasting, if you're traveling, if you're sick, break your fast, but make sure you
make up for it. But when do I make up for it? There's a lot of detail to that right. I'll share with
		

			you one thing. There are still questions. Do I make up for the days I missed? Right after?
		

			And if I do it right after do they have to be one after the other and massage example you broke your
three days of fasting. When you make it up? Do you have to do 123 Back to back and you have to do
ensure one will let's take Aisha Radi Allahu Allah in al-baha in authentic narration. She says an
authentic narration, the days of fasting they had to break for personal reasons and so on. I want to
make them up in
		

			Shaban now the ones who don't know the calendar, like I don't know what you're talking about.
		

			I will know
		

			I know when I go to another hedge that's pretty much a once in a lifetime. Right so the brothers
gonna help us out who told us that the month? Shaban is which number
		

			glad you gotta get on with him.
		

			Chavez ate Ramadan is which month night so she waited 11 months to pick it up.
		

			You see that? She's doing
		

			11 months to make it up and one of the reasons is that you know, I like to be, you know, in a good
state for my husband rasool Allah, Allah Azza wa sallam and she put them in a priority when things
became you know, crunch times, like I gotta I gotta make up the date. I like a lot the Allahu Ana I
mean I don't believe in me. So that's something to appreciate and you don't have to do it in
consecutive order and we respect difference of opinions are valid May Allah protect us. Last part it
took me a while to get beer Allahu Allah Maha calm. Now you're done. The last day of Ramadan. You
know that feeling last day? Muhammad was like five minutes away. The last the last Iftar the last
		

			date that you will have a date as in food, okay, inshallah. And everything hulless and then Allahu
Akbar, Allahu Akbar then goes off. Allah says, willing to Kabir Allah Allah had that come celebrate.
How do you celebrate? Allahu Akbar. You know what happens when people read Quran very well. And so
and what happens? That beer, that beer because it was so fascinating. So when you're done, you're
fascinated. How does Allah help me? Fast? 30 days Allahu Akbar. That's how we celebrate. We relate
success to Allah not to us. Allahu Akbar, my friends thought I will faint by day two, Allahu Akbar.
I did 30 days Allah What do you do capital Allah Allah Maha Allahu Akbar. He helped me with this
		

			another Ramadan. Allahu Akbar it excited and he keeps saying Allah Akbar. Allah, Allah, Allah,
Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah. Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah Allah hin until it's Allah
		

			certified. What do some people do? Forgive me for some examples of sports. People get so proud of
themselves, right? Like one guy he scores a goal and he does this to the people as you do.
		

			What does it mean that you know, this is the guy who scores like Messi
		

			he says this is like this mean as Muslims we don't relate success to ourselves. If greatness happens
from Allah Jalla Jalla so we do like happy
		

			hour that way
		

			Subhanallah don't relate success to yourself this conference goes well it's before the Allah
subhanaw taala if it goes bad it's because of you guys okay. All right me Allah protect you will to
keep their Allah Allah Maha Dokkum wonder Allah come to school rune. So perhaps you're grateful that
Allah gave you another Ramadan to witness? You're so happy shukran Yet Allah Thank you Allah, your
connection with the Quran has never been a strong shukran Yet Allah Allah Allah come to school and
thank you Allah that you made me a Muslim. Thank you Allah that you made me a Muslim. When Allah if
you were told that in a week you will have a check of a million dollars, or that you will have
		

			Ramadan. Now that you know a little bit about Ramadan, you say Ramadan more than a million dollars
because of the Rama. How you don't mean marriage. Now Allah says the regime of Allah the mercy of
God is more valuable than everything you will collect in your life. May Allah Allah was to accept
that and I allow us to witness the month of Ramadan in a way that is pleasing to Allah subhanho wa
Taala this was the verse 185 from the Bacara Allahumma Boliviana Ramadan May Allah allow us to
witness the month of Ramadan. Thank you so much for your patience Jozek Milan seven was Salam
