00:00:00 --> 00:00:02
			On the 27th of Ramadan, you're
thinking about how you haven't
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:05
			done enough this Ramadan. Ramadan
is finishing, and you didn't read
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:07
			as much quota, and you didn't do
as many prayers as you wanted. You
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:10
			wasted your Ramadan, and Allah
must be so upset with you, and
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:14
			you're not even trying to make dua
as much as you could be, because
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:17
			you're like, I don't deserve to. I
want you to know that you have
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:20
			more hope in yourself than you
have in Allah, and that's not a
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:24
			lot of hope, considering how much
you're struggling with your
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:27
			internal thoughts. Ibn Al Taylor
teaches that when you say things
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:30
			like, Okay, I didn't read as much
Quran as I did last year,
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:33
			Therefore Allah must not want me
to pray to Him. Allah must not
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:35
			want to answer my prayers. I don't
deserve to turn back to Allah. I
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:38
			don't deserve to ask and ask and
ask because you care about
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:40
			yourself. You're focusing on
yourself. You don't you don't
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:43
			think you're getting up, you don't
believe that your deeds are
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:47
			enough. And he teaches that you
you have more hope in your own
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:51
			deeds than you have in Allah's
mercy. Allah's Mercy is greater
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:57
			than your mistakes. Don't have
hope in your own deeds. Have hope
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:58
			in Allah's mercy.
