00:01:40--> 00:01:42

My brothers and sisters and elders,

00:01:42--> 00:01:44

let me wish you a beautiful and

00:01:45--> 00:01:47

abundant reward from Allah

00:01:49--> 00:01:51

for our and Quran

00:01:52--> 00:01:53

and

00:01:53--> 00:01:55

the and so on and for the good

00:01:55--> 00:01:56

behavior and may Allah

00:01:57--> 00:01:59

reward you and me and all of us

00:01:59--> 00:02:00

in keeping

00:02:00--> 00:02:03

with his majesty and grace. We ask

00:02:03--> 00:02:05

to forgive our shortcomings and faults.

00:02:06--> 00:02:08

Let us remember, however, that Ramadan did not

00:02:08--> 00:02:09

come for Ramadan.

00:02:10--> 00:02:13

Ramadan came for the rest of our lives.

00:02:13--> 00:02:15

So let us take a few minutes and

00:02:15--> 00:02:15

ask ourselves,

00:02:16--> 00:02:17

how did Ramadan

00:02:18--> 00:02:19

transform me?

00:02:20--> 00:02:20

Because if

00:02:22--> 00:02:24

it's just a day change, then today we

00:02:24--> 00:02:25

are out of Ramadan already.

00:02:26--> 00:02:27

But if we get transformed,

00:02:28--> 00:02:30

then this will last for us and last

00:02:30--> 00:02:33

with us for the rest of our lives.

00:02:33--> 00:02:34

And therefore,

00:02:34--> 00:02:36

Ramadan is and was

00:02:38--> 00:02:40

an attempt and a and a, opportunity

00:02:40--> 00:02:41

for

00:02:41--> 00:02:44

habit change and attitude change and life change.

00:02:44--> 00:02:45

And therefore,

00:02:45--> 00:02:47

we should become with the own as a

00:02:47--> 00:02:49

result of having

00:02:49--> 00:02:50

passed 1 Ramadan.

00:02:51--> 00:02:53

In Ramadan, we stayed away from what is

00:02:53--> 00:02:54

normally halal,

00:02:55--> 00:02:58

and this reinforces for us the importance of

00:02:58--> 00:03:00

staying away from what Allah

00:03:01--> 00:03:03

made haram for the rest of our lives.

00:03:03--> 00:03:05

So let us look at our.

00:03:06--> 00:03:07

What did we believe? Let us look at

00:03:07--> 00:03:08

our actions,

00:03:09--> 00:03:10

what we eat, what we drink,

00:03:11--> 00:03:13

what we earn, where we earn from.

00:03:14--> 00:03:15

Let us look at our relationships

00:03:16--> 00:03:18

with our parents, with our siblings,

00:03:18--> 00:03:20

spouses, children,

00:03:20--> 00:03:22

friends, families, and so on. How do we

00:03:22--> 00:03:24

treat our neighbors? How do we behave in

00:03:24--> 00:03:24

society?

00:03:25--> 00:03:27

And ask the same question,

00:03:28--> 00:03:28

which we

00:03:29--> 00:03:31

which was the reason for our existence through

00:03:31--> 00:03:33

Ramadan, which is, does it please Allah?

00:03:33--> 00:03:35

We did not eat and drink and so

00:03:35--> 00:03:37

on during a certain period of the day

00:03:38--> 00:03:40

for one reason only, because that was pleasing

00:03:40--> 00:03:41

to Allah.

00:03:42--> 00:03:44

And this is to reinforce that in the

00:03:44--> 00:03:46

rest of our lives that whatever we do,

00:03:46--> 00:03:49

we do it only and only to please

00:03:49--> 00:03:49

Allah

00:03:52--> 00:03:54

In Ramadan, we came to the masjid in

00:03:54--> 00:03:57

big numbers for Tarawi, which is a nafil.

00:03:59--> 00:04:01

Let not the masjid complain to Allah

00:04:02--> 00:04:04

that after Ramadan, it has been abandoned

00:04:05--> 00:04:05

because

00:04:06--> 00:04:07

is for.

00:04:08--> 00:04:10

Was. For we all came. So what about?

00:04:12--> 00:04:13

So let us come for the

00:04:14--> 00:04:16

just like we used to come for.

00:04:16--> 00:04:18

For 1 month, we gave. We didn't miss

00:04:18--> 00:04:20

one single day. So let us make sure

00:04:20--> 00:04:22

we do that. Let us pray at least

00:04:22--> 00:04:24

make this and say that I will pray

00:04:24--> 00:04:26

at least one salah by JAMA everyday.

00:04:27--> 00:04:29

The best thing is to pray salah and

00:04:29--> 00:04:30

salah

00:04:30--> 00:04:33

because then we get the reward of praying

00:04:33--> 00:04:34

the whole night. You pray salah and

00:04:35--> 00:04:36

then you pray the next day.

00:04:37--> 00:04:40

Then we get the reward for worshiping Allah

00:04:40--> 00:04:42

the whole night. This is the best way,

00:04:42--> 00:04:44

but at least one salah by JAMA.

00:04:45--> 00:04:47

Any masjid, I'm not saying come here, whichever

00:04:47--> 00:04:49

masjid, but make sure that you pray at

00:04:49--> 00:04:52

least one salah by JAMA every day

00:04:53--> 00:04:53

and more.

00:04:54--> 00:04:56

In Ramadan, we donated to causes,

00:04:57--> 00:04:58

especially Gaza.

00:04:59--> 00:05:01

Remember that those causes are still there.

00:05:03--> 00:05:05

The suffering of Gaza is still there.

00:05:06--> 00:05:08

While we eat and drink and so on

00:05:08--> 00:05:10

and enjoy food and

00:05:10--> 00:05:12

and our festivities and and happiness today with

00:05:12--> 00:05:15

our brothers, sisters, families, let us remember that

00:05:15--> 00:05:16

the people in Gaza are still starving.

00:05:17--> 00:05:20

So let us eat and drink in moderation

00:05:20--> 00:05:22

and make dua for those people

00:05:24--> 00:05:25

And make it

00:05:26--> 00:05:29

make sure that this food, nothing is wasted.

00:05:31--> 00:05:33

Also, remember that we

00:05:33--> 00:05:35

in, we spent money

00:05:35--> 00:05:36

to feed people.

00:05:37--> 00:05:39

But remember, people are not anacondas. They don't

00:05:39--> 00:05:40

eat once in a year.

00:05:41--> 00:05:43

So those who are hungry are still hungry.

00:05:43--> 00:05:45

So let us continue with our charity

00:05:46--> 00:05:48

for Gaza, for other places

00:05:48--> 00:05:51

to ensure that we set up systems whereby

00:05:51--> 00:05:51

people,

00:05:52--> 00:05:53

nobody needs to go hungry

00:05:54--> 00:05:55

to bed.

00:05:55--> 00:05:56

Believe me this, Umrah,

00:05:58--> 00:06:00

without taking a single cent from anybody,

00:06:00--> 00:06:03

we as Muslims have enough money to make

00:06:03--> 00:06:06

sure that no Muslim ever goes to bed

00:06:06--> 00:06:06

hungry.

00:06:07--> 00:06:09

If somebody is going to bed hungry, it's

00:06:09--> 00:06:10

because of us.

00:06:10--> 00:06:13

So let us not become the reason

00:06:13--> 00:06:15

why they will complain to Allah.

00:06:17--> 00:06:20

In Ramadan, we fasted also with our tongues

00:06:20--> 00:06:21

and our eyes and our ears.

00:06:22--> 00:06:24

We control our anger. We smiled at people.

00:06:24--> 00:06:25

We are patient.

00:06:26--> 00:06:27

Let us continue to do that for the

00:06:27--> 00:06:29

rest of our lives. Habit change.

00:06:30--> 00:06:32

That is the purpose purpose of Ramadan. Backbiting,

00:06:32--> 00:06:34

slander, profanity, cursing,

00:06:35--> 00:06:38

useless talk, pornography, smoking, vaping,

00:06:39--> 00:06:42

lottery, gambling, interest based dealings are still haram.

00:06:43--> 00:06:45

They did not become halal today on on

00:06:45--> 00:06:47

the day of Eid. So let us understand

00:06:47--> 00:06:49

and remember that. Avoid all of those things

00:06:49--> 00:06:51

because that is the purpose of our creation

00:06:51--> 00:06:53

to please Allah

00:06:55--> 00:06:56

In Ramadan, we prayed.

00:06:57--> 00:06:58

Let us remember

00:06:59--> 00:07:00

that every night

00:07:02--> 00:07:03

is in that respect,

00:07:03--> 00:07:05

which is that Allah

00:07:05--> 00:07:07

descends to the first heaven and Allah

00:07:08--> 00:07:08

asks,

00:07:09--> 00:07:11

who is there? Who wants anything from me?

00:07:11--> 00:07:13

Let him ask. Who is there? Who needs

00:07:13--> 00:07:15

my protection? Let him ask. Right? The the

00:07:15--> 00:07:16

the

00:07:16--> 00:07:18

meaning of the hadith. I'm not quoting the

00:07:18--> 00:07:18

exact hadith.

00:07:19--> 00:07:22

That remains, and that is there for us

00:07:22--> 00:07:23

every single night.

00:07:24--> 00:07:25

So we did that in Ramadan.

00:07:26--> 00:07:28

Let us make this into inshallah,

00:07:29--> 00:07:31

a beautiful habit to say that every day

00:07:31--> 00:07:34

you will pray at least 2 rakat of

00:07:34--> 00:07:34

tahajjud,

00:07:35--> 00:07:37

wake up half an hour before 45 minutes

00:07:37--> 00:07:39

before the salah time for salah al fajr

00:07:39--> 00:07:41

starts. Pray 2 rakat of tahajjud, read some

00:07:41--> 00:07:43

Quran, go to the masjid for salah al

00:07:43--> 00:07:45

fajr. Make this into a habit and it

00:07:45--> 00:07:48

believe me, it will bring so much barakah

00:07:48--> 00:07:49

in your lives. You will not you will

00:07:49--> 00:07:52

not you will never forget that. Right? So

00:07:52--> 00:07:53

do that. It's very easy and much to

00:07:53--> 00:07:54

be

00:07:54--> 00:07:56

done. Now, Abu Hurair

00:07:57--> 00:07:58

narrated that Rasoolullah

00:07:58--> 00:08:01

said, whoever fast during the month of Ramadan

00:08:01--> 00:08:04

out of sincere faith and hoping to attain

00:08:04--> 00:08:05

Allah reward.

00:08:09--> 00:08:12

Allah will forgive all his past sins.

00:08:12--> 00:08:13

And therefore, we ask Allah

00:08:14--> 00:08:15

for his forgiveness

00:08:16--> 00:08:16

and for

00:08:18--> 00:08:20

him to forgive us and to,

00:08:21--> 00:08:23

release us and to free us from jahanam.

00:08:24--> 00:08:26

In conclusion, last,

00:08:26--> 00:08:28

don't let differences

00:08:28--> 00:08:30

and debate divide you in this

00:08:31--> 00:08:31

Ramadan.

00:08:32--> 00:08:33

Make of Allah

00:08:34--> 00:08:35

don't spend your time

00:08:36--> 00:08:39

talking about this tafsara, that tafsara, this politics

00:08:39--> 00:08:41

and that politics. All of that is a

00:08:41--> 00:08:43

complete and total waste of time.

00:08:43--> 00:08:45

Right? You can if you can if you

00:08:45--> 00:08:47

can influence something, go influence it. If you

00:08:47--> 00:08:49

cannot influence this, don't waste your time talking

00:08:49--> 00:08:52

about all that. Makes no difference to anybody.

00:08:52--> 00:08:54

Whatever is happening is happening. What you can

00:08:54--> 00:08:56

do and I can do is talk to

00:08:56--> 00:08:56

Allah

00:08:57--> 00:08:59

because Allah can change and only Allah can

00:08:59--> 00:09:02

change. Let's do that. Pray spend time in

00:09:02--> 00:09:04

salah, spend time in sujood, spend time in

00:09:04--> 00:09:05

zikr,

00:09:05--> 00:09:08

and don't waste your time in in in

00:09:08--> 00:09:11

debates and discussions and, you know, moon sighting

00:09:11--> 00:09:13

and moon fighting and whatnot. Please don't do

00:09:13--> 00:09:14

all that.

00:09:15--> 00:09:17

Forgive each other. Very, very important. Forgive each

00:09:17--> 00:09:20

other. Whatever somebody it doesn't matter. Forgive them.

00:09:20--> 00:09:22

Talk to people. If you haven't talked to

00:09:22--> 00:09:24

somebody for some time, go talk to them,

00:09:24--> 00:09:25

call them, especially

00:09:25--> 00:09:28

people with whom we are related by blood.

00:09:28--> 00:09:29

Very, very important.

00:09:29--> 00:09:31

And finally, make a lot of dua for

00:09:31--> 00:09:34

the people of Gaza, Sudan, Yemen, the Rohingya

00:09:34--> 00:09:35

of Myanmar,

00:09:36--> 00:09:38

the Uighurs of China, and there's a long

00:09:38--> 00:09:38

list.

00:09:40--> 00:09:41

Help this Ummah of Muhammad

00:09:41--> 00:09:42

So

00:09:42--> 00:09:44

let's pray. Let's make dua that Allah

00:09:45--> 00:09:48

should free the Muslims from oppression, that Allah

00:09:48--> 00:09:50

should make all of us obedient to him.

00:09:51--> 00:09:54

That Allah should fill our lives with his

00:09:54--> 00:09:55

and

00:09:55--> 00:09:56

that

00:09:56--> 00:09:58

Allah should protect us, number 1, and most

00:09:58--> 00:10:01

important from his disobedience, which is the biggest

00:10:01--> 00:10:03

of the calamities, and then from all the

00:10:03--> 00:10:05

that we know and that we don't know.

00:10:03--> 00:10:05

that we know and that we don't know.
