Ramadan 2022 Reflections – Day 8

Bismillah Alhamdulillah wa salatu salam ala Rasulillah about my brothers and sisters I continue to remind myself and knew about this beautiful month that Allah subhanaw taala has rewarded us with has blessed us with and I remind myself I knew that it may be the last time we get this reward, it may be the last time that we will get Ramadan alkhoury and therefore let us be very conscious of it and let us not waste even a single moment of it in doing anything which does not directly result in the pleasure of Allah subhanaw taala and reward. Ramadan al Karim comes to remind us that the meaning of being Muslim is to submit ourselves to the Hakama of Allah. Allah subhanaw taala told us very

clearly I will live in a 102 coleauxv cilmi car fatten wallet at the children in the whole of Komodo mobian Allah zero you will believe

enter into Islam completely and fully and do not follow the footsteps of shaitan verily He is for you and open enemy manifest open enemy. My brothers sisters, I remind you of myself the ayat is is addressing those who believe it's not addressing the people that Allah is razza you are not suitable for silica unless you are looking at ama which means that if we simply think that we say Allah Allah Allah, Allah Muhammad, Allah this is enough it is not enough lehle Allah Muhammad Rasul Allah must be manifested in our actions. It must become clear to us in our through our actions that we believe in Allah subhanho wa taala, and in resource our salah, and in the meeting of meeting with Allah

subhanho wa Taala after we die, and we are resurrected, and this is what Roseanne comes to teach us. So let us focus on this. And remember that all goodness begins with this the foreign Toba and so make a lot of Mr. Foreign make a lot of power, and remove every Moon curve, every Massiah every sin every disobedience of our lives, remove it from our

lives, right? Completely remove this, do not have any of this in our lives, whatever Allah does not like we do not do.

It doesn't matter who else likes it? What is the culture? What is this what is that makes no difference. For a Muslim the culture is the culture of Islam, it is not the culture of Arabia or the culture of India or the culture of America or somewhere. It is the culture of Islam and the culture of Islam is that we obey Allah subhanaw taala my brothers and sisters, this is what Ramadan comes to teach us. This is one that comes to teachers and for us too, it is important therefore, for us to learn this loss of anatella told us do not die except as a state except in a state of Islam do not die and unless you have submitted yourself to Allah subhana wa

that submission begins with Salah it continues into the cart and therefore that is the time we normally give our Kenyan Ramadan Of course I got going to you at any time in the year when they need not be your only rather, but we give it to maximize the benefit from the extra reward that Allah subhanaw taala gives for all good works during this month on Hamdulillah. There's no nothing wrong in giving our zakat in Nevada. So please give that and give more. Please understand that whatever you give to Allah subhanaw taala, Allah subhanaw taala will return that to you in this life and will reward you in the next life.

So therefore, consider all opportunities to give as opportunities. People talk about donor.

You know, they talk about donors that have been we're talking about giving donations to different organizations, we will talk about donor fatigue. Only donors who don't understand Allah only donors who don't know the akhirah only donors who have no belief in the market, I can get fatigued with giving. How can why don't why doesn't anybody talk about investor fatigue? You talk about donor fatigue, because you do not see a donation as an investment. A donation is an investment.

Right? Have you ever heard this word investor fatigue? No, we still never don't have it. Why? Because we see donor donating we see charity as net cash outflow. This is a very wrong concept. Karen charity is not net cash outflow charity is saving with Allah subhanaw taala charity is investing with Allah subhanho wa Taala who gives a minimum reward of one is to 10 minimum and then he gives one is to 700 and then he gives without without his app, so make Ramadan the month of giving rasuna Salah Salem use was was always extremely generous in Ramadan he was they said he was like the wind which brings lead which brings blessing. Let us try to follow in the footsteps of

Muhammad wa salam
