Mirza Yawar Baig – Baypath University Ramadan event

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

			Salam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato.
		

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

			Alhamdulillah
		

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

			wa Salatu was Salam ala Rasulillah
		

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

			Paula Ali, he was FFIV Oman water.
		

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

			I begin in the name of Allah subhanho data.
		

00:00:21 --> 00:00:24

			Our creator, sustainer, maintainer protector
		

00:00:25 --> 00:00:34

			and I send salutations on our Master Muhammad, peace be upon him. The last and final messenger of
ALLAH SubhanA wa says
		

00:00:37 --> 00:00:44

			14 158 years ago a window opened in the heavens, and God spoke to man.
		

00:00:45 --> 00:00:57

			Allah subhanaw taala general who sent His first revelation to his beloved messenger Muhammad
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, through the angel Jibreel Ali Salam peace be upon him.
		

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

			This was not the first time this had happened, but was to be the last.
		

00:01:04 --> 00:01:17

			That initiative of reestablishing the direct connection between the Creator and His creatures,
between God and humans, between Allah and you and I is Islam.
		

00:01:18 --> 00:01:25

			Islam is for all human beings, irrespective of ethnicity, color, race, or origin.
		

00:01:27 --> 00:01:31

			Those who accept this connection and benefit from it are Muslims.
		

00:01:33 --> 00:01:36

			The first word revealed was read.
		

00:01:38 --> 00:01:41

			Here Cora, Miss Mira, bicolor. The HELOC
		

00:01:42 --> 00:01:45

			read in the name of your Rob
		

00:01:46 --> 00:01:48

			who created everything.
		

00:01:49 --> 00:01:50

			The word Rob is a very
		

00:01:53 --> 00:02:01

			all encompassing word, which means creator, Project maintainer. Sustainer. To whom is our richer.
		

00:02:03 --> 00:02:09

			The word read has many meanings. It can mean to read as in a book, read the book.
		

00:02:11 --> 00:02:13

			It means to recite something which is written.
		

00:02:14 --> 00:02:18

			It also means to read the signs that you see around you.
		

00:02:19 --> 00:02:30

			Sometimes, these are the expressions on the face of Your Beloved, which tell you without a single
word being spoken, what is happening in the heart.
		

00:02:31 --> 00:02:38

			Sometimes the expression strikes terror in yours. I know that from 739 years of watching those
expressions,
		

00:02:39 --> 00:02:54

			sometimes gestures, the tone of voice movements and demeanor tell those who can read them far more
and far more truthfully, the real story. That is why they say the body doesn't lie.
		

00:02:56 --> 00:03:31

			The command read that was given to our beloved prophet muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam peace we
want him was to encourage him and all those who were to hear that command from him to read the signs
of the Creator Allah subhana wa Jalla Jalla did Allah who the Glorious and Magnificent in his
creation and to marvel at his power, his work His mercy and His wisdom and to accept him as the only
one worthy of worship. When we see the signs of Allah subhanaw taala we love Him and we obey Him.
		

00:03:33 --> 00:03:36

			Allah subhanho wa Taala about this said
		

00:03:37 --> 00:04:03

			so Sunnery him is Tina feel. Okay, Buffy unfussy him had yatta yatta Allah home and the whole hug
for our love exp we are up Becca and who Allah could Alicia in Shaheed he said which means we will
show them Our signs in the universe and within themselves until it becomes clear to them that this
Quran
		

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

			is the truth.
		

00:04:06 --> 00:04:11

			Is it not enough that your Lord Your job is Witness over all things?
		

00:04:14 --> 00:04:15

			I asked you to
		

00:04:16 --> 00:04:17

			stay with me in this
		

00:04:19 --> 00:04:21

			imagine a blood didn't clot.
		

00:04:23 --> 00:04:26

			hemophiliacs don't need to imagine that they know it.
		

00:04:28 --> 00:04:30

			Imagine if your hair had nerves.
		

00:04:32 --> 00:04:35

			You would need to go under general anesthesia to get a haircut.
		

00:04:36 --> 00:04:37

			Likewise your nails
		

00:04:39 --> 00:04:42

			cut a nail a little more deeply and you will know what I mean.
		

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

			I did it.
		

00:04:46 --> 00:04:47

			This one.
		

00:04:49 --> 00:04:54

			Imagine veins without venous valves non return valves.
		

00:04:55 --> 00:04:59

			Your blood will clot your blood would puddle in your feet
		

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

			oxygenated blood was mixed with an oxygenated blood.
		

00:05:07 --> 00:05:17

			Imagine if rain and snow didn't descend in single drops and flicks did you think about that? What is
the benefit of rain coming down and drops.
		

00:05:19 --> 00:05:25

			But instead, if it all came down in one mass, I'll tell you what it means. Numbers.
		

00:05:26 --> 00:05:43

			Longmeadow has an area of 9.7 miles square miles 9.7 square miles, where we are sitting. So let's
take 1010 square miles. That is 6400 acres. One inch of rain per acre weighs 113 tons
		

00:05:44 --> 00:05:48

			in 2023, long way to receive 58 inches of rain and snow.
		

00:05:50 --> 00:06:03

			Imagine if this that would weigh 723,200 tonnes. Imagine if all that fell in one mass from 15,000
feet elevation,
		

00:06:04 --> 00:06:12

			we would have a massive lake of 10 square meters 10 square miles, no longer.
		

00:06:15 --> 00:06:21

			But Allah subhanaw taala sends a wrench and rain down as a sign of His mercy. Not always Ross.
		

00:06:22 --> 00:06:31

			Imagine if you were given complete control total control over all bodily functions. Make your
heartbeat as long as you want to.
		

00:06:34 --> 00:06:37

			You know what that would mean? It would mean you could never sleep.
		

00:06:39 --> 00:06:47

			could not sleep. Because if you slept, your heart, your digestive system, your brain function, your
vascular system, everything would shut up.
		

00:06:50 --> 00:06:53

			Imagine that if Allah gave you everything you asked for.
		

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

			Whatever you ask, Allah will give you.
		

00:06:58 --> 00:07:00

			You I think that will be wonderful.
		

00:07:01 --> 00:07:13

			But from my vantage point of being at least 40 years ahead of most of you here, I can tell you that
I distinctly remember some things that I begged and pleaded Allah for
		

00:07:14 --> 00:07:15

			and he didn't give me
		

00:07:16 --> 00:07:17

			and today
		

00:07:19 --> 00:07:24

			I thank you very much that he didn't give me what I begged and pleaded for
		

00:07:28 --> 00:07:34

			we thank Allah for what he gave us, and we thank Allah even more for what he did not give us.
		

00:07:37 --> 00:08:00

			Yet I know that I got reward for asking that. Because dua is a rather is worship. supplication is
worship, and Allah is Allah subhanaw taala rewards you and rewards me and us separately just for
supplication and then he gives us that which he knows is better for us.
		

00:08:02 --> 00:08:07

			And that is why Allah subhanaw taala ordered us and invited us to read the signs
		

00:08:08 --> 00:08:19

			where he said in a vehicle is some our the wall or the walk dealer field early on. Rila Tilly will

00:08:23 --> 00:08:27

			movie him with Africa rune West Africa ruled
		

00:08:29 --> 00:08:32

			the world or Bernama kala
		

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

			Suba
		

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

			Suba Naka, Akiva, when
		

00:08:40 --> 00:08:49

			Allah said which means, indeed in the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the alternation of
the day and the night there are signs for people of understanding
		

00:08:50 --> 00:09:15

			who are those people? Allah said, they are those who remember Allah subhanaw taala was standing and
sitting and lying down on their sides. And they reflect on the creation of the heavens and the
earth, and they research and they study that. And then they say, Oh, our OB, or our Lord, You have
not created all of this without purpose. Glory be to You. protect us from the punishment to the
fire.
		

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

			I'm a wildlife photographer, and I spend a lot of time in the bush.
		

00:09:21 --> 00:09:27

			To read science correctly is literally for me sometimes a matter of life and death.
		

00:09:29 --> 00:09:33

			When I'm walking in the African felt, and I see Line tracks,
		

00:09:34 --> 00:09:39

			I can read them and see which direction they are going are going in.
		

00:09:42 --> 00:09:47

			Whether the pugmarks are of a lion or lioness,
		

00:09:48 --> 00:09:52

			whether the animal is walking slowly or running, whether it is hungry or not.
		

00:09:54 --> 00:09:59

			Or I can tell myself that these are not really lion tracks and
		

00:10:00 --> 00:10:11

			They don't indicate the presence of the overland down the road. They are merely creations of a
accidental chance wind that passed on the road.
		

00:10:14 --> 00:10:27

			However I choose to interpret the signs, it won't change the fact that I'm about to walk into a
lion. What will change is whether I'm prepared or not.
		

00:10:28 --> 00:10:31

			What will change is whether I can get a good photograph,
		

00:10:33 --> 00:10:34

			or the land next to kill.
		

00:10:37 --> 00:11:05

			To read signs is important because sign is not merely about color, or a symbol or a shift. A sign
has meaning it points to a destination and warns us about consequences. We read signs every day when
we drive and if we fail to read the sign or miss read it, there are consequences, sometimes very
serious, that we have to bear. Why then don't we see this with respect to our Creator.
		

00:11:07 --> 00:11:19

			He just to awaken our connection with Allah subhanho wa Taala the Glorious and Magnificent, our
Creator, our protectors Sustainer maintainer provider to whom we will all return.
		

00:11:21 --> 00:11:26

			It is to care to re connect with him that Allah subhanaw taala sends Ramadan
		

00:11:27 --> 00:11:43

			about his month of fasting he said Yeah, you are loving Amano. Gudivada, who was cmo Kamakoti
Valentina in public on the Isla Comdata phone. He said, Oh, you believe fasting is prescribed for
you as it was prescribed for those before you.
		

00:11:44 --> 00:11:49

			So that you might become booked taco you might have Taqwa you might become conscious of God in your
life.
		

00:11:51 --> 00:12:19

			That wise the blessed state of being where a person is always conscious of his or her connection
with Allah subhanaw taala and reveals in that feeling and ensures that they never do anything that
can dull the strength of that connection, or separate. Taqwa produces tranquility. And knowing that
the one in charge is the one who loves me, and has the power to do absolutely everything.
		

00:12:21 --> 00:12:22

			We can have
		

00:12:23 --> 00:12:33

			other situations you can have somebody who loves you very much, but has no power can't do anything.
Or you might have somebody who has a lot of power, who doesn't care.
		

00:12:35 --> 00:12:36

			What's a good word?
		

00:12:40 --> 00:12:42

			Good, yes, who doesn't get a hold of it.
		

00:12:45 --> 00:12:51

			But in this case, we have the one who has all the power, and he loves us.
		

00:12:54 --> 00:13:14

			Obedience is the way to express our love for Allah subhanaw taala. And fasting teaches us this lest
we obey Allah subhanho data because we know that he loves us, and He wants the best for us. And he
knows that what he knows what that is far better than we ever can.
		

00:13:15 --> 00:13:34

			So we do what He commands us to do, and we stay away from what He commands us to stay away from. We
know that he needs nothing, and nothing can benefit him or harm him. So when he shows us a way of
life, it is for us, and we are honored to live it
		

00:13:35 --> 00:13:44

			on the authority or one of the companions of Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam the Prophet Muhammad peace
be upon him. A Buddha refer to the Allah no may Allah be pleased with him.
		

00:13:46 --> 00:14:34

			Who said who quoted from Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam from ALLAH SubhanA wa della, what we call
Hadees could see where Allah says, all my slaves, I have forbidden oppression, for myself, and I
have made it forbidden amongst you, so do not oppress one another. All my slaves, all of you are a
stray except those whom I have guided to seek guidance from me and I will guide you, all my slaves,
all of you are hungry, except those whom I have fed. So seek food from me and I will feed you, all
my slaves, all of you are naked, except those who might have clothes. So see clothing from me and I
will clothe you, all my slaves, you commit sins by day and by night and I forgive all sins. So seek
		

00:14:34 --> 00:14:53

			forgiveness from me and I will forgive you, all my slaves, you can either harm me not benefit me,
all my slaves. If the first of you when the last of you when the humans of you and the Jinn of you
are all as pious as the most pious heart of any individual among you. This would not increase my
kingdom by an iota
		

00:14:54 --> 00:15:00

			or my slaves. If the first review and the last of you on the humans have you on the agenda view.
We're all as we
		

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

			Git as the most wicked of any individual among you, this would not decrease my kingdom by one iota.
		

00:15:08 --> 00:15:20

			All my slaves is the first of you, and the last of you and the humans of you and the Jinn of you
were all to stand together in one place, and ask of me, whatever you wanted.
		

00:15:21 --> 00:15:33

			And if I were to give everyone what he requested, then that would not decrease what I possess,
except what is decreased of the ocean, when a needle is dipped into it.
		

00:15:34 --> 00:15:42

			Obviously, it is, but your deeds that I account for you, and then I recompense you for them.
		

00:15:43 --> 00:15:47

			So he or she who brings who finds God let him praise Allah
		

00:15:48 --> 00:15:57

			and the one who finds other than that, let him blame no one but himself. This is Allah
		

00:16:00 --> 00:16:10

			Allah introduced himself and he said and I will recite the Arabic and the translation will be on the
screen that's what
		

00:16:13 --> 00:16:14

			Oh, hola

00:18:34 --> 00:18:34

			Ramadan
		

00:18:36 --> 00:19:01

			is the bootcamp to reboot our lives and transform them and place them on the highway to success. In
Ramadan, we stay away during the hours of daylight, even from things that are normally permitted
only to emphasize for ourselves the importance of staying away from that which is prohibited
throughout our lives. Ramadan shows us what we can do if we wish,
		

00:19:02 --> 00:19:14

			if we wish to please the one to whom we owe everything and who we hope to meet one day in a state
that is pleased with us.
		

00:19:16 --> 00:19:58

			I ask Allah Subhana Allah Jalla DeLallo the Glorious and Magnificent to bless this gathering, ask
Allah subhanaw taala to bless each and every one of you and to be pleased with you and never to be
displeased. I ask Allah subhanho wa Taala to enable us to enjoy this month of Ramadan in a state of
good ima of good faith, have good health and have sufficient time and the tofield and the guidance
to use that time in order to get close to Allah subhanaw taala I ask Allah subhanaw taala to grant
every wish you make with higher and Apphia because he knows what is best for you and me. I ask Allah
subhanaw taala then, in addition to that, to grant you from his treasures, which have no ending, ask
		

00:19:58 --> 00:19:59

			Allah subhanho wa Taala
		

00:20:00 --> 00:20:46

			To fill our hearts with this cashier with his great with his glory and majesty, and with his all and
with his, with his with with with a fear of disobeying him in any way. I ask Allah subhanaw taala to
be pleased with every single one of us here, and to make each one of us here, a means of guiding
others to him Gentle, gentle, ask Allah subhanaw taala that on the day when we meet him, that we
meet him in a state, which is pleased with us for that this day. The last day of our lives is the
