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

The

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

first thing

00:00:23--> 00:00:25

I want to say to you is

00:00:26--> 00:00:26

that

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

this month,

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

which is fast disappearing,

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

came for one reason only and that reason

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

was to connect us to Allah

00:00:38--> 00:00:39

Because we know what Allah

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

said.

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

All you who believe,

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

fasting has been prescribed upon you as it

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

was prescribed for those before you.

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

For what? So that you may become.

00:01:02--> 00:01:03

Who are?

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

Are those

00:01:06--> 00:01:08

for whom all the promises of Allah

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

in the Quran

00:01:10--> 00:01:11

starting from

00:01:16--> 00:01:17

2.

00:01:23--> 00:01:25

Allah said, this is Allah's book,

00:01:25--> 00:01:27

and in this there is idayat and there

00:01:27--> 00:01:29

is guidance for the muttaqo,

00:01:29--> 00:01:30

Not Muslim.

00:01:31--> 00:01:33

To be Muslim is to enter the door.

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

That's it.

00:01:34--> 00:01:36

If you want benefit, you have to do

00:01:36--> 00:01:37

more than that.

00:01:38--> 00:01:39

And 2,

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

and this is not Ibtih, I

00:01:43--> 00:01:44

am just speaking to vayat

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

from Surat Al Aq where Allah said,

00:01:48--> 00:01:50

For the Mu'takhi Allah

00:01:51--> 00:01:53

will extract him from his difficulties.

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

Allah will do that.

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

Allah did not say you make the effort

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

then I will do it, Allah said Allah

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

will extract him as long as he has

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

takwa?

00:02:04--> 00:02:07

Allah will extract him from his difficulties. Allah

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

will save him from difficulties.

00:02:10--> 00:02:11

He does not need to do anything.

00:02:12--> 00:02:14

Ibrahim alaihi wasalam was sitting trussed up completely

00:02:14--> 00:02:15

tied up in the

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

in the cup of the trebuchet

00:02:19--> 00:02:21

to save his life from the fire. What

00:02:21--> 00:02:23

effort did Ibrahim make?

00:02:24--> 00:02:26

Nothing. 0. He couldn't make it. He was

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

tied up and

00:02:27--> 00:02:28

what effort did he make?

00:02:29--> 00:02:31

Allah saved him.

00:02:32--> 00:02:34

So Allah is saying this, this is the

00:02:34--> 00:02:37

reason the month came. So we must become

00:02:37--> 00:02:39

utaqeen and therefore as the month is almost

00:02:39--> 00:02:40

disappearing,

00:02:40--> 00:02:42

as our chef said, it's almost gone. Today

00:02:42--> 00:02:43

is the

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

first

00:02:44--> 00:02:46

of the odd nights.

00:02:47--> 00:02:48

Tomorrow will be the 21st

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

fast.

00:02:50--> 00:02:52

If we have 29 days, it means another

00:02:52--> 00:02:53

8 days. If we have 30 days, it

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

means another 9 days

00:02:57--> 00:02:58

and it's gone.

00:02:59--> 00:03:02

Ramadan will come again until Allah keeps this

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

world,

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

But whether I will be there and you

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

will be there, we don't know.

00:03:07--> 00:03:10

So every Ramadan, the best thing to do

00:03:10--> 00:03:11

is to treat it as if this is

00:03:11--> 00:03:12

my lust.

00:03:13--> 00:03:15

Because one Ramadan, whether it is this one

00:03:16--> 00:03:17

or whether it is another one a 100

00:03:17--> 00:03:19

years from now or 10000 years from now,

00:03:19--> 00:03:21

depending on what life Allah gives you,

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

one Ramadan will be the last.

00:03:26--> 00:03:26

Yes,

00:03:27--> 00:03:28

but we don't know that.

00:03:29--> 00:03:30

So the safest

00:03:30--> 00:03:31

way of

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

addressing

00:03:34--> 00:03:36

and being in any Ramadan is as if

00:03:36--> 00:03:38

it is the last. Take full advantage of

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

every minute, every second

00:03:40--> 00:03:42

because Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala opened the roads

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

of Jannah, he shut the roads of Jahannam,

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

the reward for far salah is 70 times

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

the reward in normal times, the reward for

00:03:49--> 00:03:51

for far the ibadah, not only salah, far

00:03:51--> 00:03:53

the ibadah, the the reward for nafir I

00:03:53--> 00:03:55

badaah is equal to that of far.

00:03:55--> 00:03:57

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala changed the shayati.

00:03:59--> 00:04:02

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala did not level the

00:04:02--> 00:04:05

playing field. He skewed the playing field in

00:04:05--> 00:04:06

our favor.

00:04:09--> 00:04:11

And despite that, if we cannot

00:04:12--> 00:04:14

take advantage of that and

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

if we cannot

00:04:16--> 00:04:20

get Allah forgiveness, then it is truly, truly

00:04:20--> 00:04:21

sad.

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

Right?

00:04:23--> 00:04:24

So effort has to be made.

00:04:25--> 00:04:27

Now this effort must be made, 1st and

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

foremost, condition of the effort is

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

the of the effort, The reason why you

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

make the effort.

00:04:34--> 00:04:37

This has to be pure. The intention must

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

be pure.

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

Right?

00:04:43--> 00:04:43

The

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

We know the hadith from

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

the Bukhari and Muslim both

00:05:04--> 00:05:07

agreed upon by narrated by

00:05:11--> 00:05:13

said the worth of the deed, the reward

00:05:13--> 00:05:15

of the deed is based on its intention.

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

One of the 3 major hadith in the

00:05:22--> 00:05:24

collection of hadith and the these these 3

00:05:24--> 00:05:26

are called 1 third of the entire,

00:05:28--> 00:05:29

treasure of knowledge.

00:05:30--> 00:05:31

And that is called the hadith of the

00:05:31--> 00:05:32

salas,

00:05:32--> 00:05:33

the hadith of the 3.

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

Hadith said, which

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

means

00:05:38--> 00:05:40

that on the day of judgment, 3 people

00:05:40--> 00:05:43

will be presented to Allah before everybody else.

00:05:44--> 00:05:45

The first of them will be a scholar,

00:05:45--> 00:05:47

will be an alim of Islam.

00:05:48--> 00:05:50

And he will be asked,

00:05:51--> 00:05:52

what did you do?

00:05:52--> 00:05:54

And he will say, You Rabb,

00:05:55--> 00:05:57

I studied your kitab, I studied your book,

00:05:57--> 00:05:58

I studied your your deen,

00:05:59--> 00:06:01

and I taught this deen to people

00:06:02--> 00:06:03

only to please you.

00:06:04--> 00:06:05

And it will be said to him, you

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

lied.

00:06:07--> 00:06:08

You are a liar

00:06:09--> 00:06:11

because you did all of this so that

00:06:11--> 00:06:13

you will be called a great a great

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

scholar and this was done.

00:06:16--> 00:06:19

Because in this world, you were known to

00:06:19--> 00:06:21

be people people give you names.

00:06:29--> 00:06:30

So you want all these names.

00:06:31--> 00:06:33

Here, there is nothing for you, and this

00:06:33--> 00:06:35

person will be thrown into the hellfire. The

00:06:35--> 00:06:37

first person to go into hellfire will be

00:06:37--> 00:06:38

a scholar of Islam.

00:06:40--> 00:06:42

The second one will be somebody

00:06:43--> 00:06:44

and same question will be asked to your

00:06:44--> 00:06:46

body to do, and of course Allah knows.

00:06:46--> 00:06:48

This is to establish the hudjah against the

00:06:48--> 00:06:49

slave.

00:06:50--> 00:06:52

Take it from your own mother. What did

00:06:52--> 00:06:53

you do? And now you are telling me

00:06:53--> 00:06:55

what I did. What was you did yourself.

00:06:56--> 00:06:57

And he will say, I

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

fought in your path until I gave my

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

life in your path. So I was shahid,

00:07:03--> 00:07:04

feezabid light. It was said to him, it

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

will be said to him, no, you

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

lied.

00:07:08--> 00:07:10

You did that so that you will be

00:07:10--> 00:07:12

called a great warrior. And people will say,

00:07:12--> 00:07:13

oh, what a brave man and so on

00:07:13--> 00:07:14

and so on. This was done.

00:07:15--> 00:07:17

You want all the awards and rewards and

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

whatnot.

00:07:18--> 00:07:19

Here, there's nothing for you and he will

00:07:19--> 00:07:21

be thrown into the hellfire. Who is this?

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

Somebody who the world sees

00:07:24--> 00:07:26

or saw or recognized as a shahid fe

00:07:26--> 00:07:27

samir lah.

00:07:28--> 00:07:30

And the third one will be somebody,

00:07:30--> 00:07:31

he will recall and ask what did you

00:07:31--> 00:07:33

do? He will say, Arab, you gave me

00:07:33--> 00:07:34

wealth and I spent it in your path.

00:07:34--> 00:07:35

I did this, I did that, I built

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

this budget, I built the hospital, and then,

00:07:37--> 00:07:38

you know, help this one.

00:07:41--> 00:07:42

And it will be said to him, you

00:07:42--> 00:07:42

lied.

00:07:45--> 00:07:46

You did all of that, so you will

00:07:46--> 00:07:48

be known as a

00:07:48--> 00:07:51

philanthropist, as a great generous person. This was

00:07:51--> 00:07:53

done in this world. Maybe you got, you

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

know, God knows.

00:07:55--> 00:07:57

Nobel Peace Prize or whatnot. Right?

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

Here, there's nothing for you, and he is

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

in the hellfire.

00:08:03--> 00:08:04

So

00:08:06--> 00:08:07

I remind myself that you continuously

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

check our intention,

00:08:10--> 00:08:12

why am I doing what I am doing.

00:08:13--> 00:08:15

Don't get involved in unnecessary

00:08:16--> 00:08:18

debates and arguments and so on and so

00:08:18--> 00:08:19

forth. Did we see the moon here? See

00:08:19--> 00:08:21

the moon there? I always say, Muslims don't

00:08:21--> 00:08:22

have moon sighting, they are moon fighting.

00:08:25--> 00:08:26

Clearly, I mean,

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

the hadith of Rasool was very clear. Nabi

00:08:28--> 00:08:29

said,

00:08:29--> 00:08:31

see the moon and start start fasting. See

00:08:31--> 00:08:33

the moon and stop fasting.

00:08:33--> 00:08:35

And he said if the sky if the

00:08:35--> 00:08:37

sky is cloudy, complete 30 days,

00:08:38--> 00:08:39

right, of the previous month

00:08:40--> 00:08:43

of Raja of Shawan or

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

30 complete.

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

Now people say, oh, no. No. You see,

00:08:47--> 00:08:48

those days they

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

please,

00:08:50--> 00:08:52

the Hindus have a lunar calendar which is

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

3000 years old.

00:08:54--> 00:08:58

They had a calendar 2000 years before Rasulullah

00:08:58--> 00:08:59

came to this world.

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

That calendar will give you all the moon

00:09:02--> 00:09:05

dates for another another 1000 years. It's not

00:09:05--> 00:09:06

new.

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

Whoever told you that moon calculation is new,

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

that is talking through his head.

00:09:12--> 00:09:13

It is the oldest thing in the world.

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

You see the moon was born now?

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

The moon.

00:09:19--> 00:09:21

So why did Nabi Sadat al Dinw say

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

this?

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

When I said to this in our interfaith

00:09:24--> 00:09:26

work, I said this to in one workshop,

00:09:27--> 00:09:29

and one of the rabbis, he literally had

00:09:29--> 00:09:30

tears in his eyes. He said, why can't

00:09:30--> 00:09:32

he say, because you people are keeping alive

00:09:32--> 00:09:34

a tradition that we lost long ago. He

00:09:34--> 00:09:36

said, this was part of our religion.

00:09:37--> 00:09:38

Part of the of the Judah part of

00:09:38--> 00:09:39

Judaism was

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

we were connected to the to the to

00:09:41--> 00:09:43

the environment, to the to the to nature.

00:09:43--> 00:09:45

We were we also had lunar calendar we

00:09:45--> 00:09:46

used to follow. Then somebody said, no, no,

00:09:46--> 00:09:48

it's very inconvenient. We don't know last minute.

00:09:48--> 00:09:49

Let's fix everything.

00:09:50--> 00:09:53

This desire to control everything which is not

00:09:53--> 00:09:54

in our control,

00:09:54--> 00:09:56

This is the problem.

00:09:57--> 00:09:59

What is the problem with going with what

00:09:59--> 00:10:02

Afghanistan said? No problem. It's a little bit

00:10:02--> 00:10:03

inconvenient for I agree with you. It's a

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

little bit inconvenient for us, so bear the

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

inconvenience.

00:10:06--> 00:10:07

The sign of love

00:10:08--> 00:10:09

is to do more.

00:10:09--> 00:10:12

The sign of love is to be to

00:10:12--> 00:10:13

take on inconvenience

00:10:14--> 00:10:15

for the one you love.

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

Right?

00:10:18--> 00:10:20

It's not to have everything in your no.

00:10:20--> 00:10:22

I will I will meet you when when

00:10:22--> 00:10:24

when it suits me. So then who do

00:10:24--> 00:10:26

you love? You or the one you're talking

00:10:26--> 00:10:26

to?

00:10:28--> 00:10:30

So don't fight with all this. Alhamdulillah,

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

we follow

00:10:32--> 00:10:34

the moon sighting for the barakah of the

00:10:34--> 00:10:37

sunnah of the word of Nabi alaihis salam,

00:10:37--> 00:10:37

not

00:10:38--> 00:10:41

because it is modern or or not modern.

00:10:42--> 00:10:44

No. Those reasons are that's nonsense. Whoever is

00:10:44--> 00:10:46

saying that has not understood the thing. We

00:10:46--> 00:10:48

follow it because it is the barakah of

00:10:48--> 00:10:49

the word of Rasool.

00:10:50--> 00:10:52

If anybody thinks that there is no barakah

00:10:52--> 00:10:53

in the word of the rabbi, then we

00:10:53--> 00:10:55

have nothing to to say to you. Do

00:10:55--> 00:10:56

what you want.

00:10:58--> 00:11:00

Don't get involved in all this.

00:11:00--> 00:11:01

Stay with religion.

00:11:02--> 00:11:04

Stay with connecting with Allah

00:11:05--> 00:11:07

reading the Quran, listening to the Quran, reflecting

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

on the Quran, reflecting on on our own

00:11:09--> 00:11:10

lives. Allah

00:11:12--> 00:11:12

where are you going?

00:11:13--> 00:11:15

Let's ask ourselves this question, where am I

00:11:15--> 00:11:17

going? Where is my life leading me?

00:11:18--> 00:11:18

Right?

00:11:19--> 00:11:21

Take this time, Take this. Alhamdulillah, Allah gave

00:11:21--> 00:11:23

00:11:23--> 00:11:24

masjid, this beautiful environment.

00:11:26--> 00:11:28

Take full advantage of that.

00:11:30--> 00:11:32

Don't get anybody ask you any of this

00:11:32--> 00:11:35

this disputing questions. Please, forgive me.

00:11:35--> 00:11:37

I don't know. Go ask somebody else.

00:11:38--> 00:11:39

Yes. Very simple. I don't know. Go go

00:11:39--> 00:11:40

00:11:41--> 00:11:41

00:11:44--> 00:11:45

We have one Allah.

00:11:46--> 00:11:48

We have 1 Rasool. We have 1 Kitab.

00:11:49--> 00:11:51

That's enough. We we don't need any disputes.

00:11:52--> 00:11:53

Right? Don't dispute.

00:11:54--> 00:11:57

In have ikhlas of near and let us

00:11:57--> 00:11:59

00:12:01--> 00:12:02
