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

My brothers and sisters, I remind myself I

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

knew that Ramadan is

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

about fasting. It is not about feasting.

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

So don't get involved in food.

00:00:14--> 00:00:17

I know there are people who for example,

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

samosas.

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

When I was living in the there was

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

this place which the shop which, sold samosas.

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

There would be literally a riot in front

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

of that shop every

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

day in Northern.

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

People fighting each other, parking cars in all

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

kinds of odd ways, yelling and screaming at

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

each other. How ugly and how dirty is

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

that?

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

Right? Now imagine this is that is in

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

one place, but the point is that this

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

kind of attitude

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

of being,

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

you know, overly greedy,

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

of,

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

demanding that your,

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

if you have servants, then the servants, otherwise

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

your your your people in the house, your

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

your

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

the women in the house who usually do

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

the cooking, so your mothers, your wives,

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

sisters, whoever,

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

that they should provide this fancy meal. And

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

so, therefore,

00:01:04--> 00:01:06

at the time of iftar,

00:01:07--> 00:01:09

which is the time for making dua, closer

00:01:09--> 00:01:11

to that time, all through the day, they

00:01:11--> 00:01:13

are also fasting, they are also Muslim.

00:01:14--> 00:01:16

Instead of focusing on

00:01:16--> 00:01:18

more Ibadah, more

00:01:18--> 00:01:20

Quran, more Zika,

00:01:20--> 00:01:22

instead of focusing on

00:01:22--> 00:01:23

pleasing Allah

00:01:24--> 00:01:26

about, they are focused on pleasing you, and

00:01:26--> 00:01:28

they're focused on providing this great meal. Otherwise,

00:01:28--> 00:01:30

you would become a nuisance in their lives.

00:01:30--> 00:01:32

Please don't destroy yourself.

00:01:32--> 00:01:34

Shaitan has a way of destroying Amal.

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

Either he will prevent you from doing the

00:01:36--> 00:01:40

good deed or he will adulterate that good

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

deed and he will corrupt that good deed

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

by something which reduces the reward that you

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

would have got. Don't allow shaitan to do

00:01:47--> 00:01:49

that. One of the finest and most successful

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

ways in which Shaitan

00:01:51--> 00:01:55

adulterates and destroys and corrupts our fasting is

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

by this,

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

by people fighting over food, by people putting

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

unnecessary pressure on

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

people in the home to provide these fancy

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

meals.

00:02:06--> 00:02:07

Please keep it simple.

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

A simple sahu,

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

simple iftar,

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

and then go and pray taravi. It is

00:02:13--> 00:02:14

good for your health, it is good for

00:02:14--> 00:02:16

your belly, it is good for people. In

00:02:16--> 00:02:19

the Masjid, it gives you concentration in salah.

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

You're not getting tired, you're not yawning, and

00:02:21--> 00:02:22

you're not,

00:02:23--> 00:02:25

you know, suffering from excess eating.

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

Keep it simple

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

and leave

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

your family, leave if you have servant, leave

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

your servants,

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

Leave them, give them free time also

00:02:37--> 00:02:38

to please Allah

00:02:39--> 00:02:42

Let them be focused on pleasing Allah. Then

00:02:43--> 00:02:45

then then they will make dua for you,

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

for your

00:02:46--> 00:02:47

ibadah also to be accepted.

00:02:48--> 00:02:49

Don't put pressure on them.

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

become better, not worse.

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

become better, not worse.
