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 hell 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 hell. 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 hell 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 alaykum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
