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

I request if you don't have anything very

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

important to please be seated because this is,

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

extremely important.

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

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

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

out of his mercy,

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

that are better than others. And every once

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

in a while, we got those seasons,

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

and they are gift from

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

to accumulate

00:00:50 --> 00:00:50

as many

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

as possible.

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

When we have a wedding, we have

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

a graduation, we have a big thing going

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

on in our life, we plan way ahead.

00:01:03 --> 00:01:05

If we really understand

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

and know the virtue

00:01:08 --> 00:01:11

and the weight of these 10 days that

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

they are coming, wallahi, we will start planning

00:01:13 --> 00:01:14

2 months before.

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

Right after Ramadan, we will start planning for

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

this.

00:01:19 --> 00:01:20

Why?

00:01:20 --> 00:01:21

Because these days,

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

they are

00:01:26 --> 00:01:27

so important,

00:01:27 --> 00:01:28

so precious

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

that Al Aweem himself,

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

Allah swore by them.

00:01:35 --> 00:01:35

Allah

00:01:37 --> 00:01:40

can swear by any of his creation. But

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

we as Muslims, we are not allowed to

00:01:42 --> 00:01:43

swear except by

00:01:44 --> 00:01:45

Allah. We have a

00:01:46 --> 00:01:47

we have a habit in our countries.

00:01:48 --> 00:01:49

I don't know about

00:01:50 --> 00:01:52

a lot of the Arab countries. They swear

00:01:52 --> 00:01:54

by their father, by their mother.

00:01:54 --> 00:01:56

They swear by the Kaaba. They swear by

00:01:56 --> 00:01:58

the many things. This is not allowed.

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

This is not allowed.

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

First of all, the Muslim

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

supposed to be always truthful and does he

00:02:05 --> 00:02:08

does not need to swear. But if you

00:02:08 --> 00:02:11

have to swear, you only swear by Allah

00:02:11 --> 00:02:12

But Allah

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

he could swear by anything he want.

00:02:18 --> 00:02:20

So he swore by these days when he

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

said,

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

open the books of tafsir

00:02:25 --> 00:02:27

and look what does

00:02:27 --> 00:02:31

mean. You will find that this means the

00:02:31 --> 00:02:32

first 10 days of their hija.

00:02:33 --> 00:02:35

The first 10 days of their hija. This

00:02:35 --> 00:02:37

is one of the main things that make

00:02:37 --> 00:02:40

these days very virtuous is that Allah

00:02:41 --> 00:02:42

himself swore by them.

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

2nd,

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

if you read the a hadith

00:02:50 --> 00:02:51

about the reward

00:02:52 --> 00:02:54

and the virtue of these days, you will

00:02:54 --> 00:02:55

see that Rasool Allah

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

who is the most eloquent person ever,

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

used words about these that he never used

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

any about any other days.

00:03:04 --> 00:03:06

He said in the most famous hadith,

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

No days, in the first hadith, he used

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

the word,

00:03:20 --> 00:03:21

most beloved.

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

No

00:03:24 --> 00:03:26

is most beloved to Allah

00:03:26 --> 00:03:30

than the amal, than the righteous deeds done

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

in these 10 days.

00:03:31 --> 00:03:34

One hadith, he used the word ahab.

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

Another hadith, he used the word aafal.

00:03:37 --> 00:03:40

Another hadith, he used the word aavam.

00:03:41 --> 00:03:42

Greater,

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

more superior

00:03:45 --> 00:03:49

about the amar saliha done in these 10

00:03:49 --> 00:03:52

days. Now, listen to this. The Sahaba's mind

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

immediately went to jihad.

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

They immediately

00:04:01 --> 00:04:02

not even jihad.

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

Not even jihad.

00:04:07 --> 00:04:08

Rasulullah SAW Alaihi Wasallam said, not

00:04:17 --> 00:04:18

these 10 days. Rasulullah

00:04:19 --> 00:04:20

made one exception.

00:04:21 --> 00:04:22

One exception

00:04:23 --> 00:04:25

of a person that has two characteristics.

00:04:26 --> 00:04:27

The only

00:04:27 --> 00:04:30

that is more beloved to Allah

00:04:30 --> 00:04:32

than the actions in these 10 days is

00:04:32 --> 00:04:34

a man or a person who goes to

00:04:34 --> 00:04:35

jihad

00:04:35 --> 00:04:37

and he will not come back

00:04:37 --> 00:04:39

with himself or with his money.

00:04:41 --> 00:04:43

What does that mean?

00:04:44 --> 00:04:46

That means if a person went to jihad

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

from 11th Al Hijjah,

00:04:52 --> 00:04:54

All the way 1 year he kept on

00:04:54 --> 00:04:55

making jihad

00:04:55 --> 00:04:56

till 1

00:04:57 --> 00:04:59

of the next year. And he

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

came back. He came back. The amal in

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

these 10 days, the person who was giving

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

sadaqah in these 10 days, the person who

00:05:07 --> 00:05:08

was

00:05:09 --> 00:05:10

sadaqa in these 10 days, the person who

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

was fasting in these 10 days, the person

00:05:11 --> 00:05:12

who was reading Quran in these 10 days

00:05:12 --> 00:05:14

is better than that pujayd.

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

That's what Dadi said.

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

If he comes back, the only that

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

is better than the done in these 10

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

days is he goes and he never comes

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

back.

00:05:25 --> 00:05:28

Allahu Akbar. I want you to feel what's

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

coming up.

00:05:29 --> 00:05:30

I want you to feel it.

00:05:34 --> 00:05:36

Rasool wasallahu alaihi wa sallam, he did not

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

say

00:05:37 --> 00:05:40

and then he said between brackets except Ramadan.

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

No days

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

no days open.

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

The

00:05:50 --> 00:05:53

last 10 days of Ramadan are very virtuous,

00:05:53 --> 00:05:54

they said,

00:05:54 --> 00:05:57

the nights, the last 10 nights of Ramadan

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

are the best nights of the year. But

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

daytime

00:06:01 --> 00:06:02

daytime,

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

the best that the first 10 days of

00:06:05 --> 00:06:07

Dhul Hijjah are better in the daytime time

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

than the last 10 days of Ramadan.

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

And

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

the

00:06:21 --> 00:06:22

No days.

00:06:24 --> 00:06:26

3rd reason for the virtue of these days.

00:06:27 --> 00:06:28

The only

00:06:28 --> 00:06:31

time of the year that all

00:06:32 --> 00:06:33

5 pillars of Islam

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

are

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

gathered

00:06:36 --> 00:06:37

are these 10 days.

00:06:39 --> 00:06:40

Shahada, it's everyday.

00:06:40 --> 00:06:41

There is

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

right?

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

There is of

00:06:45 --> 00:06:48

there is all the time. The there is

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

and there's

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

That's the only time of the year that

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

all 5 pillars

00:06:54 --> 00:06:54

meet.

00:06:55 --> 00:06:57

No other time of the year. You might

00:06:57 --> 00:06:59

have 4 of them, maybe in Ramadan. But

00:06:59 --> 00:07:02

you will never have the hajj except in

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

these 10 days.

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

Another reason that these 10 days are precious

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

is that they have

00:07:08 --> 00:07:09

in them.

00:07:12 --> 00:07:14

The day that Allah

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

boast to the angels about all the people

00:07:17 --> 00:07:19

in and he tells them, look at my

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

slaves coming from everywhere

00:07:21 --> 00:07:22

asking me.

00:07:23 --> 00:07:24

Tell them I've forgiven

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

everything.

00:07:25 --> 00:07:27

May Allah forgive all our sins.

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

In these days also,

00:07:32 --> 00:07:34

the best day of the year, the hadith

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

of Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam,

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

the best day of the year is

00:07:43 --> 00:07:44

ish.

00:07:48 --> 00:07:50

Somebody said it. Some people think it's alifah,

00:07:50 --> 00:07:52

but it's not alifah.

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

It is

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

The hadith said the best day of the

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

year is.

00:08:03 --> 00:08:05

The day of. Now Arafa is

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

big, but if you ask according to the

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

hadith, the best day of the year is.

00:08:10 --> 00:08:13

So it is included in these 10 days

00:08:13 --> 00:08:14

also.

00:08:17 --> 00:08:18

Now, if Allah

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

kept me alive

00:08:22 --> 00:08:24

to witness these days, which

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

we always go by the moon sighting.

00:08:27 --> 00:08:28

So approximately,

00:08:29 --> 00:08:30

if today is 27,

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

tomorrow 28 of

00:08:35 --> 00:08:36

the. Sunday will be 29,

00:08:37 --> 00:08:38

so either Monday

00:08:39 --> 00:08:42

or Tuesday. If the is 30 days, then

00:08:42 --> 00:08:44

it will start Tuesday. If the is 29

00:08:44 --> 00:08:46

days, then it will start Monday.

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

And usually,

00:08:49 --> 00:08:50

the you

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

will know ahead of time when is the

00:08:52 --> 00:08:53

Eid because there's 10 days. So

00:08:54 --> 00:08:55

you will find out.

00:08:55 --> 00:08:57

And the minute I find out,

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

then

00:08:59 --> 00:09:01

I have to start or from have to

00:09:01 --> 00:09:03

start planning from now. Because if it is

00:09:03 --> 00:09:06

Monday, I'm ready. I have the plan already.

00:09:06 --> 00:09:08

What we gonna do? Number 1, Before

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

we start

00:09:13 --> 00:09:15

the Ibadat, we have to

00:09:15 --> 00:09:16

clean the house,

00:09:17 --> 00:09:18

cleanse.

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

Please

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

don't

00:09:23 --> 00:09:25

go into these days

00:09:26 --> 00:09:27

and you

00:09:28 --> 00:09:31

have any kind of ill feelings toward anybody,

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

please,

00:09:32 --> 00:09:33

whoever it is,

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

the closer it is,

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

the closer the person to you

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

in relationship,

00:09:40 --> 00:09:42

the more he or she is deserving of

00:09:42 --> 00:09:43

your forgiveness.

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

If you have problem with your parents, number

00:09:45 --> 00:09:47

1, make sure you clean it before you

00:09:47 --> 00:09:49

go into these days. You have problem with

00:09:49 --> 00:09:51

your spouse, with your wife, with your

00:09:59 --> 00:10:01

Masjid, make sure you go into these days.

00:10:01 --> 00:10:04

Before these days come, you text your brother,

00:10:04 --> 00:10:06

you call your brother and tell him, brother,

00:10:06 --> 00:10:08

for the sake of Allah, please, let's go

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

in the best 10 days of the year

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

with a clean heart. So Allah subhanahu wa

00:10:12 --> 00:10:14

ta'ala will forgive me and you. We all

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

know

00:10:16 --> 00:10:17

If we just

00:10:21 --> 00:10:22

sallam said

00:10:22 --> 00:10:23

that my

00:10:25 --> 00:10:27

will be on hold on hold.

00:10:30 --> 00:10:33

When Monday Thursday, the presented to

00:10:35 --> 00:10:37

Allah everything will be lifted except

00:10:37 --> 00:10:38

except

00:10:38 --> 00:10:40

the people who have.

00:10:41 --> 00:10:43

They have fight with each other. They do

00:10:43 --> 00:10:45

not speak to each other. Their

00:10:45 --> 00:10:47

are on hold. So I worried I worked

00:10:47 --> 00:10:49

so hard in the 10 days of their

00:10:49 --> 00:10:52

hija. I fasted, I we're gonna mention all

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

the things. And I did everything.

00:10:54 --> 00:10:56

And then they're all standing right here because

00:10:56 --> 00:10:58

I have a fight with my cousin for

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

5 years. He borrowed a $1,000. He never

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

gave it to me.

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

His wife fought with my wife and we

00:11:04 --> 00:11:07

because the kids said something and we haven't

00:11:07 --> 00:11:08

spoken in in in 6 months.

00:11:09 --> 00:11:12

Everything on hold. So what is that amal?

00:11:12 --> 00:11:15

What did that person do that deserve that

00:11:15 --> 00:11:16

my will be on hold?

00:11:18 --> 00:11:19

All it takes

00:11:20 --> 00:11:22

I'm not telling you become best friends and

00:11:22 --> 00:11:24

go visit each other every single day.

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

May Allah give you in these 10 days.

00:11:28 --> 00:11:30

Done. For the sake of Allah,

00:11:31 --> 00:11:33

like I always repeat, maybe that person does

00:11:33 --> 00:11:35

not even deserve it. He's so bad. She's

00:11:35 --> 00:11:38

so bad. But I'm not working with you.

00:11:38 --> 00:11:40

I don't deal with you. I deal with

00:11:40 --> 00:11:41

Allah. He ordered me. I'm doing it for

00:11:41 --> 00:11:44

him. So then the will become easy because

00:11:44 --> 00:11:46

for Allah, we do anything.

00:11:47 --> 00:11:50

So start these days by forgiving everybody.

00:11:51 --> 00:11:52

Go in there with clean heart.

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

2nd,

00:11:54 --> 00:11:56

we always start start to the I cannot

00:11:56 --> 00:11:57

tell you,

00:11:58 --> 00:12:00

read Quran and you are not praying on

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

time.

00:12:01 --> 00:12:03

We always start to the because

00:12:04 --> 00:12:05

this is the first thing we would be

00:12:05 --> 00:12:06

questioned about is the

00:12:07 --> 00:12:09

Then the and the sunan come. But the

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

main thing is the

00:12:11 --> 00:12:13

So my brother, my sister,

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

if

00:12:14 --> 00:12:17

you are neglectful of your salat,

00:12:17 --> 00:12:19

make sure this should be the start of

00:12:19 --> 00:12:20

praying

00:12:27 --> 00:12:27

on

00:12:29 --> 00:12:29

time.

00:12:30 --> 00:12:32

Sister, when you hear the adhan

00:12:33 --> 00:12:34

on your phone

00:12:34 --> 00:12:35

at home,

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

immediately

00:12:42 --> 00:12:43

days,

00:12:46 --> 00:12:47

please, please,

00:12:48 --> 00:12:50

just in these 10 days, train yourself.

00:12:51 --> 00:12:53

I'm looking at the faces, and I I

00:12:53 --> 00:12:56

know that these faces are people of fajal

00:12:56 --> 00:12:57

and jamaah. I most of them.

00:12:58 --> 00:12:59

For the brothers who do not come to

00:12:59 --> 00:13:01

fajal and jamaah, fajal in congregation,

00:13:03 --> 00:13:04

please, let's make it a habit these 10

00:13:04 --> 00:13:06

days. Let's start coming to the masjid

00:13:07 --> 00:13:08

these 10 days.

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

Everything

00:13:10 --> 00:13:14

is multiplied. Everything is multiplied. How Yeah, Allah.

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

Who can guarantee me I'm gonna live and

00:13:16 --> 00:13:17

witness

00:13:18 --> 00:13:19

another time, another

00:13:22 --> 00:13:23

hasanam.

00:13:23 --> 00:13:24

So

00:13:26 --> 00:13:27

those 10 days, let's make a

00:13:34 --> 00:13:35

That every and

00:13:36 --> 00:13:38

at least because the rest of the days,

00:13:38 --> 00:13:39

the rest of the salawat maybe I'm at

00:13:39 --> 00:13:41

work, but at least

00:13:42 --> 00:13:43

I am at home,

00:13:44 --> 00:13:45

or before I go to work or when

00:13:45 --> 00:13:47

I come back at work, at least those

00:13:47 --> 00:13:47

10 days,

00:13:48 --> 00:13:49

in the

00:13:51 --> 00:13:52

masjid. Agree, brothers?

00:13:53 --> 00:13:54

Let me hear you.

00:14:04 --> 00:14:05

So everybody,

00:14:07 --> 00:14:09

these 10 days in the Masjid, plus, you

00:14:09 --> 00:14:12

know, you you attend the the lectures and

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

the halakat and Allahu Akbar, you are surrounded

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

by the angels just like we are right

00:14:16 --> 00:14:19

now. Allah will mention your name. SubhanAllah. A

00:14:19 --> 00:14:22

lot of reward. Lot of reward. So first

00:14:22 --> 00:14:22

is

00:14:24 --> 00:14:25

in in jamaal.

00:14:26 --> 00:14:27

2nd,

00:14:29 --> 00:14:29

whom

00:14:30 --> 00:14:31

some people

00:14:31 --> 00:14:33

are neglectful of the sun,

00:14:34 --> 00:14:37

maybe they neglect sun at, dhor, maybe they

00:14:37 --> 00:14:38

neglect sun at,

00:14:39 --> 00:14:39

maybe

00:14:49 --> 00:14:50

concentrating on the sunnah.

00:14:52 --> 00:14:52

Why?

00:14:53 --> 00:14:54

Because the sunnah,

00:14:55 --> 00:14:57

you know, if there's any holes, any defects,

00:14:57 --> 00:14:59

any shortcomings in my,

00:14:59 --> 00:15:00

I was neglectful.

00:15:01 --> 00:15:04

I always get distracted in my salat.

00:15:04 --> 00:15:06

Like the hadith said, said, does my have

00:15:06 --> 00:15:07

any

00:15:08 --> 00:15:10

Allah would ask and he is the all

00:15:10 --> 00:15:12

knowing, does my slave have any extra

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

to cover for all these holes that happened

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

in the

00:15:16 --> 00:15:18

If there's nothing, then you have a problem.

00:15:18 --> 00:15:20

But if you have a lot of going

00:15:20 --> 00:15:21

on, then we'll take from here and cover

00:15:21 --> 00:15:23

all these holes here.

00:15:23 --> 00:15:25

So increase the increase

00:15:25 --> 00:15:28

the nafil in these days as much as

00:15:28 --> 00:15:29

as you can.

00:15:30 --> 00:15:30

Then

00:15:31 --> 00:15:32

we come to

00:15:34 --> 00:15:36

Because the surah alaihi wasallam, keep in mind,

00:15:36 --> 00:15:37

he said,

00:15:42 --> 00:15:45

comes under righteous deeds is everything good.

00:15:46 --> 00:15:46

Everything.

00:15:48 --> 00:15:49

What is

00:15:51 --> 00:15:52

the longest righteous deed?

00:15:55 --> 00:15:56

What is it?

00:15:58 --> 00:15:59

Right? Fasting.

00:16:02 --> 00:16:03

15 hour

00:16:04 --> 00:16:07

righteous deed. Salat maybe 5, 10 minutes.

00:16:07 --> 00:16:08

But

00:16:10 --> 00:16:11

15 hour righteous

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

deed is siyam. Can I fast the whole

00:16:14 --> 00:16:17

9 days? Allahu Akbar. Why not?

00:16:18 --> 00:16:19

There's

00:16:30 --> 00:16:32

days. Cut. And there's a hadith and Hafsa.

00:16:32 --> 00:16:34

Wife of Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, it

00:16:34 --> 00:16:36

says says he never left

00:16:36 --> 00:16:38

fasting the 9 days.

00:16:38 --> 00:16:41

How can we reconcile between both? Two wives

00:16:41 --> 00:16:42

of the prophet,

00:16:43 --> 00:16:44

one is saying he never.

00:16:54 --> 00:16:56

On the days of Aisha,

00:16:57 --> 00:16:59

maybe Rasool was not fasting.

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

They combined by they reconcile between the 2

00:17:04 --> 00:17:06

hadith. They said, in order to reconcile between

00:17:06 --> 00:17:08

2 hadith because they are both,

00:17:09 --> 00:17:11

fast as much as you can.

00:17:12 --> 00:17:14

Fast as much as you can.

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

And another interpretation, they said when Aisha said

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

he never fasted the 9 days, she he

00:17:20 --> 00:17:23

meant she meant that he never fasted the

00:17:23 --> 00:17:24

whole 9 days.

00:17:24 --> 00:17:25

Because

00:17:27 --> 00:17:28

when Rasool said,

00:17:30 --> 00:17:32

a righteous deed is most beloved to

00:17:34 --> 00:17:36

Allah in these days. And we all know.

00:17:36 --> 00:17:37

Rasool Allah

00:17:38 --> 00:17:40

said in the hadith al Qudsi, siam is

00:17:40 --> 00:17:42

for me. Yeah. It's so rewarding.

00:17:44 --> 00:17:45

And we all know

00:17:47 --> 00:17:49

There nothing equivalent to siyam.

00:17:50 --> 00:17:52

No nothing equivalent to fasting. And we all

00:17:52 --> 00:17:53

know

00:17:59 --> 00:18:02

Allah will keep him away from * 70

00:18:02 --> 00:18:03

years.

00:18:03 --> 00:18:06

So there's It's a very virtuous deed. We

00:18:06 --> 00:18:08

all know and we have no doubt that

00:18:08 --> 00:18:10

fasting is a great deed,

00:18:10 --> 00:18:11

is a great amal.

00:18:12 --> 00:18:14

So what do I do? Fast as much

00:18:14 --> 00:18:16

as I can. I wanna fast the whole

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

nine,

00:18:17 --> 00:18:19

I wanna fast 3, 4, 5 days,

00:18:20 --> 00:18:21

problem. But

00:18:24 --> 00:18:26

if you wanna say brother

00:18:28 --> 00:18:30

bother me a lot and I can't fast

00:18:30 --> 00:18:32

all these days. I would recommend and I

00:18:32 --> 00:18:33

would tell you please,

00:18:34 --> 00:18:35

fast 9th.

00:18:36 --> 00:18:37

At least fast

00:18:38 --> 00:18:39

9th, which

00:18:40 --> 00:18:41

is the day of of

00:18:42 --> 00:18:42

Arafah.

00:18:44 --> 00:18:46

Definitely, we'll have some talks before that,

00:18:46 --> 00:18:48

but just in case

00:18:48 --> 00:18:51

Rasulullah said, whomsoever fast the day of Arafah,

00:18:51 --> 00:18:52

what happened, Sheikh?

00:18:53 --> 00:18:53

What happened?

00:18:54 --> 00:18:55

2 years

00:18:56 --> 00:18:57

of sins are forgiven.

00:18:58 --> 00:18:58

1

00:18:59 --> 00:19:00

passed, one coming.

00:19:02 --> 00:19:03

You're talking about

00:19:05 --> 00:19:07

12 hours of fasting.

00:19:09 --> 00:19:10

Let's do some math. I like the math.

00:19:10 --> 00:19:12

12 hours of fasting will delete

00:19:13 --> 00:19:14

24 months.

00:19:15 --> 00:19:16

Yeah. Any one

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

hour will delete 2 months

00:19:20 --> 00:19:21

of 2 months of

00:19:22 --> 00:19:23

of sins.

00:19:25 --> 00:19:28

Yeah. Any one minute will delete one day.

00:19:30 --> 00:19:32

Allahu Akbar. So how can I let that

00:19:32 --> 00:19:35

go? Make sure you you fast, your children,

00:19:35 --> 00:19:37

everybody in the family fast.

00:19:39 --> 00:19:41

If I fast the whole days,

00:19:42 --> 00:19:42

If I

00:19:43 --> 00:19:45

can't, just at least the 9th.

00:19:46 --> 00:19:47

But because

00:19:48 --> 00:19:49

if you are

00:19:51 --> 00:19:53

I'm intending to fast the whole 9 days

00:19:53 --> 00:19:53

because

00:19:54 --> 00:19:55

I need a lot of.

00:19:56 --> 00:19:57

I need

00:19:57 --> 00:19:59

so bad every I can

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

grab. I have no clue if my siyam

00:20:02 --> 00:20:04

was accepted in the past 30, 40 years,

00:20:04 --> 00:20:06

Allahu Alam. So I need so bad. So

00:20:06 --> 00:20:09

I'm looking forward for these days to come.

00:20:09 --> 00:20:11

I know it's very hard. You know why?

00:20:11 --> 00:20:12

It's harder than Ramadan.

00:20:13 --> 00:20:16

Why? In Ramadan, everybody's fasting and if you

00:20:16 --> 00:20:18

don't fast, it's a sin. Here, if you

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

don't fast, it's not a sin.

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

In Ramadan,

00:20:22 --> 00:20:24

it helps you, it encourage you. The shayateen

00:20:24 --> 00:20:25

are chained.

00:20:26 --> 00:20:28

Chained. They're gonna come to you and tell

00:20:28 --> 00:20:29

you, forget about bajur.

00:20:30 --> 00:20:31

This guy talks too much.

00:20:32 --> 00:20:35

In Ramadan, he was chained. Now he's gonna

00:20:35 --> 00:20:36

tell you, listen, this is optional.

00:20:37 --> 00:20:38

You don't have to fast.

00:20:39 --> 00:20:41

You're a you're a big sheikh. You have

00:20:41 --> 00:20:43

a lot of hasanat. No, no, no, no.

00:20:43 --> 00:20:44

I have I don't have any.

00:20:44 --> 00:20:46

I need every single.

00:20:47 --> 00:20:49

So whatever you can, as much as you

00:20:49 --> 00:20:52

can, again, I repeat, it's not a sin.

00:20:52 --> 00:20:54

It's not a sin not to fast. If

00:20:54 --> 00:20:55

you fast,

00:20:55 --> 00:20:58

if you don't fast, you're not sinful. But

00:20:58 --> 00:20:59

you know when the the when the kid,

00:20:59 --> 00:21:01

he wants to get a plus

00:21:01 --> 00:21:04

in the exam, he finished all the exam,

00:21:04 --> 00:21:06

all the questions, and then the end, there

00:21:06 --> 00:21:08

was a bonus question. If you answer it,

00:21:08 --> 00:21:09

you get 10 points.

00:21:10 --> 00:21:11

I want those 10 points

00:21:12 --> 00:21:13

because I don't know what I did up

00:21:14 --> 00:21:14

there.

00:21:15 --> 00:21:17

So fasting is one of the greatest Ibadah.

00:21:17 --> 00:21:19

There's one beautiful hadith that said, whomsoever

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

his life ends

00:21:22 --> 00:21:23

while he was fasting,

00:21:23 --> 00:21:24

he will enter.

00:21:26 --> 00:21:28

Whomsoever his last last was,

00:21:29 --> 00:21:31

this is a sign of good

00:21:32 --> 00:21:34

end. It's a sign of a good end.

00:21:36 --> 00:21:36

3rd,

00:21:38 --> 00:21:38

there's

00:21:46 --> 00:21:49

we are going to revive it. Ready?

00:21:49 --> 00:21:51

Are you ready? Because what happens when you

00:21:51 --> 00:21:52

revive a sunnah?

00:21:53 --> 00:21:54

What happens?

00:21:54 --> 00:21:55

What

00:21:56 --> 00:21:57

happens when you revive a sunnah?

00:21:59 --> 00:22:02

Everybody who did it, you will get the

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

same

00:22:02 --> 00:22:04

reward. What is that sunnah?

00:22:04 --> 00:22:07

Anybody wanna guess? What is that sunnah that's

00:22:07 --> 00:22:08

neglected in these days?

00:22:24 --> 00:22:27

All 10 days you hardly see anybody doing

00:22:27 --> 00:22:28

it. Umar

00:22:30 --> 00:22:33

used to walk in the market and scream,

00:22:33 --> 00:22:35

and everybody start repeating and, you know, they

00:22:35 --> 00:22:36

remember, oh, takbir,

00:22:37 --> 00:22:40

said, no amel is most beloved to Allah

00:22:40 --> 00:22:42

than any amel done in these days.

00:22:47 --> 00:22:48

So say abundantly,

00:22:53 --> 00:22:56

Extra. Hardly anybody does it. So when you're

00:22:56 --> 00:22:58

coming to the masjid for fajr,

00:23:07 --> 00:23:09

All we mentioned that before. I will repeat

00:23:09 --> 00:23:10

it just to remind you.

00:23:11 --> 00:23:12

Look at

00:23:13 --> 00:23:13

the

00:23:14 --> 00:23:17

in the Quran where Allah mentions the word.

00:23:18 --> 00:23:19

Remembrance.

00:23:19 --> 00:23:20

You will find

00:23:20 --> 00:23:22

right next to it the word

00:23:38 --> 00:23:39

Everywhere you see

00:23:39 --> 00:23:40

dhikr,

00:23:40 --> 00:23:42

every Ibadah is limited to a certain time,

00:23:42 --> 00:23:45

a certain place, certain amount except dhikr,

00:23:46 --> 00:23:46

unlimited.

00:23:47 --> 00:23:48

The

00:23:50 --> 00:23:51

same Allah said

00:23:53 --> 00:23:56

He mentioned all the but he never said

00:23:56 --> 00:23:59

except about zikr. And when Allah subhanahu wa

00:24:02 --> 00:24:04

ta'ala wants to talk about the munafiqeen,

00:24:05 --> 00:24:06

the hypocrites,

00:24:08 --> 00:24:09

the hypocrites,

00:24:09 --> 00:24:11

he did not say they do not remember

00:24:11 --> 00:24:14

Allah, the hypocrites. No. They do remember Allah.

00:24:14 --> 00:24:15

But what happened?

00:24:30 --> 00:24:33

They still remember Allah but kaleel. Yeah. And

00:24:33 --> 00:24:35

the one who remembers Allah, kaleel, is one

00:24:35 --> 00:24:37

of the munafiqeen, one of signs of nifaq.

00:24:38 --> 00:24:38

Kaleel.

00:24:39 --> 00:24:40

Just hardly.

00:24:40 --> 00:24:41

SubhanAllah.

00:24:42 --> 00:24:44

So all day long in these 10 days,

00:24:44 --> 00:24:44

and

00:24:45 --> 00:24:46

this is not only on the 10 days.

00:24:46 --> 00:24:49

The 10 days are a charge for the

00:24:49 --> 00:24:50

rest of your

00:24:53 --> 00:24:53

life.

00:24:54 --> 00:24:56

If you know the virtue of these four

00:24:56 --> 00:24:56

words, means lecture by itself. The most beloved

00:24:56 --> 00:24:59

words to Allah. Lecture by itself.

00:24:59 --> 00:25:01

The most beloved words to Allah.

00:25:05 --> 00:25:06

Said,

00:25:06 --> 00:25:08

to say these words is better than the

00:25:08 --> 00:25:10

whole dunya and everything in it.

00:25:12 --> 00:25:14

And the most beloved words to Allah

00:25:14 --> 00:25:15

And

00:25:15 --> 00:25:16

once he was holding

00:25:17 --> 00:25:19

a branch with leaves and he shook it

00:25:19 --> 00:25:22

and the leaves start falling. He said, you

00:25:22 --> 00:25:23

see how the leaves are falling? They said,

00:25:23 --> 00:25:24

yes,

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

He said, when you say

00:25:28 --> 00:25:31

all your sins will fall just like the

00:25:31 --> 00:25:32

leaves are falling from this branch.

00:25:33 --> 00:25:35

So how can I waste any Does not

00:25:35 --> 00:25:36

even need

00:25:40 --> 00:25:41

All the time?

00:25:41 --> 00:25:43

So we mentioned salat on time.

00:25:43 --> 00:25:45

We mentioned siyam, fasting.

00:25:45 --> 00:25:46

We mentioned

00:25:47 --> 00:25:48

zikr of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

00:25:53 --> 00:25:55

Some of us are going to Hajj this

00:25:55 --> 00:25:56

year, which is the best Tamil

00:25:57 --> 00:25:58

ever to be done in these 10 days.

00:25:58 --> 00:26:00

But some of us cannot go for one

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

reason or another. They cannot afford it financially.

00:26:03 --> 00:26:05

Some people cannot afford it physically, and they

00:26:05 --> 00:26:06

could not go.

00:26:11 --> 00:26:13

I could not go to Hajj, but I

00:26:13 --> 00:26:15

can get the of Hajj.

00:26:17 --> 00:26:19

We've been practicing this sunnah and this masjid

00:26:19 --> 00:26:20

every Sunday.

00:26:20 --> 00:26:21

Every Sunday,

00:26:22 --> 00:26:23

we sit down, we pray

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

We have a small and we stay and

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

we pray 2 raka. Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam

00:26:28 --> 00:26:29

said

00:26:30 --> 00:26:31

First condition.

00:26:32 --> 00:26:34

My brothers, you pray in

00:26:35 --> 00:26:37

2nd, you stay in the same masjid,

00:26:37 --> 00:26:39

in the same place. You can move in

00:26:39 --> 00:26:41

the masjid but the same masjid.

00:26:41 --> 00:26:45

3rd, remembering Allah. Whether it's a reading Quran,

00:26:45 --> 00:26:45

making

00:26:47 --> 00:26:49

remembering Allah. 4th, you wait till the sun

00:26:49 --> 00:26:51

to rise. After that, at that specific time

00:26:51 --> 00:26:54

it's to pray. So you wait 10, 15

00:26:54 --> 00:26:56

minutes after that and you pray 2 raka.

00:26:56 --> 00:26:56

What

00:26:57 --> 00:26:58

happened? Hajj

00:26:58 --> 00:26:58

and

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

umrah.

00:27:06 --> 00:27:08

The reward of Hajj and Umrah without spending

00:27:09 --> 00:27:11

leaving your your family, without leaving your your

00:27:11 --> 00:27:14

town, without leaving anything. Hajj and Umrah.

00:27:15 --> 00:27:17

Why don't I have 9 Hajj?

00:27:18 --> 00:27:20

9 Hajj these days.

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

Look,

00:27:22 --> 00:27:23

aim high. Aim high.

00:27:24 --> 00:27:25

If it was told to us, if you

00:27:28 --> 00:27:30

stay till shuruq, honestly, between you and me

00:27:30 --> 00:27:32

and the people who are watching.

00:27:34 --> 00:27:35

I'm not gonna tell anybody.

00:27:36 --> 00:27:37

But if it was told to us, if

00:27:37 --> 00:27:39

you stay to every single day and you

00:27:39 --> 00:27:40

pray to raka,

00:27:41 --> 00:27:41

$5,000,

00:27:45 --> 00:27:47

You would call your family overseas,

00:27:47 --> 00:27:49

make sure I'll come this 10 days. Plane

00:27:49 --> 00:27:50

was giving $5,000

00:27:52 --> 00:27:54

Everybody will tell everybody come.

00:27:55 --> 00:27:56

Giving $5,000

00:27:56 --> 00:27:56

in

00:27:58 --> 00:27:59

epic. But when you say

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

brother, it's okay

00:28:01 --> 00:28:02

next year.

00:28:05 --> 00:28:07

Are you taking the $5,000 with you? No.

00:28:07 --> 00:28:09

But you're taking Hajj al Umrah with you.

00:28:09 --> 00:28:10

Right?

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

So

00:28:12 --> 00:28:13

let's aim high. Be

00:28:21 --> 00:28:22

inshallah,

00:28:22 --> 00:28:23

anybody would like to join,

00:28:24 --> 00:28:26

We're gonna finish the Quran in these 10

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

days.

00:28:27 --> 00:28:29

Who's with me

00:28:29 --> 00:28:30

in reading?

00:28:30 --> 00:28:32

10 days, 3 jizzur a day.

00:28:33 --> 00:28:34

I would check up on you. Raise your

00:28:34 --> 00:28:36

hand. Who would like to go with me?

00:28:48 --> 00:28:49

A day.

00:28:49 --> 00:28:51

You sit down after fashr, we're gonna sit

00:28:51 --> 00:28:54

for anyway. Right? So we read 2, 3

00:28:56 --> 00:28:56

every

00:28:57 --> 00:28:58

letter every letter

00:28:59 --> 00:29:02

And this is in regular days, not in

00:29:02 --> 00:29:04

the days that there are the most beloved

00:29:04 --> 00:29:07

to allah, what is the multiplication on that

00:29:07 --> 00:29:08

day? It's only known

00:29:08 --> 00:29:11

to the raheem. And for the sisters, I

00:29:11 --> 00:29:12

don't want the sisters to think that we

00:29:12 --> 00:29:13

will not get the.

00:29:14 --> 00:29:16

One of our was asked,

00:29:16 --> 00:29:19

and Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is all. He's

00:29:19 --> 00:29:21

the just. He said, the sister, same thing

00:29:22 --> 00:29:24

She will get the reward. She gets up

00:29:24 --> 00:29:27

and the sister is supposed to have a

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

in her home, right? Have her own place

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

at home. This is why she prays all

00:29:31 --> 00:29:32

the time. So if your sister gets up

00:29:32 --> 00:29:34

for fajr and she stays in her

00:29:35 --> 00:29:37

remembering Allah till shuru and she prays to

00:29:37 --> 00:29:39

rakah, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala did not make

00:29:39 --> 00:29:42

this only for the men. No.

00:29:46 --> 00:29:47

Male or female.

00:29:48 --> 00:29:50

Sister will get the same same reward.

00:29:51 --> 00:29:52

Now

00:29:53 --> 00:29:54

we come to a very

00:29:58 --> 00:29:59

a

00:30:05 --> 00:30:07

We all know the virtue of charity.

00:30:13 --> 00:30:15

Our brothers and sisters are suffering all over

00:30:15 --> 00:30:17

the world, and we all know that. And

00:30:17 --> 00:30:17

I'm sure

00:30:18 --> 00:30:20

sure if you're like me, you have a

00:30:20 --> 00:30:22

member of your family overseas that is

00:30:23 --> 00:30:24

miskeen

00:30:24 --> 00:30:25

or a faqiyyah. Right?

00:30:27 --> 00:30:28

Who doesn't have that?

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

Our our our countries are are boiling.

00:30:34 --> 00:30:35

How beautiful it is

00:30:36 --> 00:30:38

to send them something in these 10 days

00:30:39 --> 00:30:41

so they can, just like you,

00:30:42 --> 00:30:44

are happy and looking forward for the Eid,

00:30:44 --> 00:30:46

they will also be looking forward for the

00:30:46 --> 00:30:47

Eid. My cousin

00:30:49 --> 00:30:51

in Texas, he send me 500 dollars. May

00:30:51 --> 00:30:53

Allah reward him. May Allah bless him. May

00:30:53 --> 00:30:56

Allah, Allahu Akbar. Such a beautiful dua they're

00:30:56 --> 00:30:57

making for you in these 10 days.

00:30:58 --> 00:31:01

And that 2, 300, whatever you can afford,

00:31:01 --> 00:31:03

it's not gonna bother you at all

00:31:03 --> 00:31:05

at all. If you go outside right now

00:31:05 --> 00:31:07

and you see the kids while they're praying,

00:31:07 --> 00:31:10

they shatter your your your windshield.

00:31:11 --> 00:31:13

The 300 dolls come from nowhere.

00:31:16 --> 00:31:18

The car did not start tomorrow, new battery,

00:31:18 --> 00:31:20

new starter, 34100 comes.

00:31:20 --> 00:31:22

But when we say send to your brother,

00:31:23 --> 00:31:24

help your sister, help an orphan,

00:31:36 --> 00:31:37

kinds of stuff. The is

00:31:40 --> 00:31:40

the only

00:31:41 --> 00:31:42

thing that, you know,

00:31:42 --> 00:31:44

you deposit here and you withdraw in the

00:31:44 --> 00:31:45

akhirah.

00:31:45 --> 00:31:48

Such a great, great, great. The only that

00:31:48 --> 00:31:50

you will take with you is your that

00:31:50 --> 00:31:51

you gave. The rest of the money is

00:31:51 --> 00:31:53

gonna stay and we're gonna be wasted by

00:31:53 --> 00:31:53

your children.

00:31:55 --> 00:31:57

This, I'm investing

00:31:58 --> 00:31:59

now for the akhirah.

00:31:59 --> 00:32:02

Find a family. You know, the aid comes

00:32:02 --> 00:32:04

and some of our family members do not

00:32:04 --> 00:32:06

have new clothes, do not even have food

00:32:06 --> 00:32:08

to eat. So

00:32:08 --> 00:32:10

when I send that 50, $100, whatever it

00:32:10 --> 00:32:11

is, whatever you can afford,

00:32:14 --> 00:32:15

Whatever you can afford.

00:32:15 --> 00:32:18

But don't let these days And let's say,

00:32:18 --> 00:32:19

let's assume you wanna give

00:32:20 --> 00:32:20

$500.

00:32:22 --> 00:32:24

Divide it on on 9 days

00:32:25 --> 00:32:26

so you will be giving

00:32:27 --> 00:32:28

a every single day.

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

Every single day a on your way out

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

at the masjid,

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

dollars.

00:32:35 --> 00:32:37

Don't let a day pass by without giving

00:32:37 --> 00:32:38

a a

00:32:39 --> 00:32:41

dollar, whatever you can, with the intention that

00:32:41 --> 00:32:43

reward is not by the amount.

00:32:44 --> 00:32:45

The reward is by the intention.

00:32:46 --> 00:32:48

Allah knows that I can't afford what you

00:32:48 --> 00:32:50

can afford and he can't afford what she

00:32:50 --> 00:32:53

can afford. Allah knows but Allah wants to

00:32:53 --> 00:32:56

know Allah knows that you are trying your

00:32:56 --> 00:32:58

best to please him. This is what matters.

00:32:59 --> 00:33:01

This is what matters. So whatever you can

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

afford.

00:33:03 --> 00:33:05

I know brothers that send the money

00:33:05 --> 00:33:08

overseas already and they told their family, please

00:33:08 --> 00:33:10

don't give it now. Wait.

00:33:10 --> 00:33:12

Wait till the 10th of the and then

00:33:12 --> 00:33:13

you give

00:33:14 --> 00:33:16

it. Because they're investing.

00:33:17 --> 00:33:18

Great investment

00:33:18 --> 00:33:19

with

00:33:20 --> 00:33:21

Allah And the last one just because of

00:33:21 --> 00:33:22

the time,

00:33:24 --> 00:33:26

because the the the hadith is open.

00:33:27 --> 00:33:29

Any I'm just reminding you and reminding myself

00:33:29 --> 00:33:30

of some of the but

00:33:31 --> 00:33:32

any

00:33:32 --> 00:33:34

my young brothers in the

00:33:34 --> 00:33:37

crowd, saying yes to your father, helping your

00:33:37 --> 00:33:38

mother at home.

00:33:39 --> 00:33:40

This is

00:33:41 --> 00:33:42

being obedient to your

00:33:44 --> 00:33:45

parents. This is You'll be rewarded immensely for

00:33:45 --> 00:33:46

it.

00:33:47 --> 00:33:49

Any kind of obedience to the parents is

00:33:50 --> 00:33:51

Smiling in your

00:33:53 --> 00:33:55

brother's face is So the last is one

00:33:55 --> 00:33:57

of probably one of the best.

00:33:57 --> 00:33:58

And now especially

00:33:59 --> 00:34:01

with the days being

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

shorter,

00:34:11 --> 00:34:12

When does

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

start?

00:34:15 --> 00:34:16

Start after Isha.

00:34:17 --> 00:34:18

You finished your Isha.

00:34:19 --> 00:34:21

You finished of Isha.

00:34:21 --> 00:34:23

Then after that, you decided I wanna pray

00:34:23 --> 00:34:24

2.

00:34:24 --> 00:34:26

Is that considered? Yes.

00:34:27 --> 00:34:29

Is in now.

00:34:30 --> 00:34:32

You finished all your duties, now you wanna

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

pray.

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

The best

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

is the last part of the night which

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

is

00:34:38 --> 00:34:39

before

00:34:40 --> 00:34:41

before

00:34:41 --> 00:34:43

let's say 5:35,

00:34:43 --> 00:34:44

whatever.

00:34:45 --> 00:34:46

5:15,

00:34:47 --> 00:34:48

5 o'clock,

00:34:48 --> 00:34:50

I get up and I pray 2 raka,

00:34:51 --> 00:34:52

4 raka,

00:34:52 --> 00:34:53

whatever you can

00:34:54 --> 00:34:57

handle. Keep in mind, every amil is multiplied

00:34:57 --> 00:34:58

in these days.

00:35:00 --> 00:35:02

There are brothers amongst us here. I know

00:35:02 --> 00:35:03

they don't want me to name them. They

00:35:03 --> 00:35:06

get up every single night with 1 juzuk.

00:35:08 --> 00:35:09

Wake up brother.

00:35:09 --> 00:35:11

There are people next to you. They are

00:35:11 --> 00:35:12

dealing with Allah.

00:35:13 --> 00:35:14

They're making tijarah.

00:35:16 --> 00:35:17

One juzah a night.

00:35:17 --> 00:35:20

They get up with 1 juzah every single

00:35:20 --> 00:35:22

night, 1 hour, 1 hour and a half.

00:35:23 --> 00:35:25

Why not me? They're not better than me.

00:35:25 --> 00:35:27

They're not better than me.

00:35:27 --> 00:35:29

This is what we should race and compete

00:35:29 --> 00:35:30

and and

00:35:32 --> 00:35:34

and and to Allah. You're making 1 hour.

00:35:34 --> 00:35:36

I'm gonna get up 1 hour and a

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

half.

00:35:37 --> 00:35:38

This is the way to Allah Subhanahu Wa

00:35:38 --> 00:35:39

Ta'ala.

00:35:44 --> 00:35:45

I don't know if I'm gonna make it

00:35:45 --> 00:35:47

another day or not or so. I was

00:35:47 --> 00:35:48

talking to a brother yesterday,

00:35:50 --> 00:35:51

and he,

00:35:52 --> 00:35:54

we know each other for 20 years.

00:36:02 --> 00:36:04

Him, well, I'm gonna turn 50 next month.

00:36:04 --> 00:36:06

I know exactly when is your birthday.

00:36:07 --> 00:36:08

And brother, you remember

00:36:09 --> 00:36:11

20 years ago when you see when you

00:36:11 --> 00:36:12

used to see a guy who's 50 years

00:36:12 --> 00:36:13

old, we used to say,

00:36:14 --> 00:36:16

that guy is gone 50 years.

00:36:16 --> 00:36:18

He's he's dead. When he used to be

00:36:18 --> 00:36:21

kids, right? Like 9, 10 years old, and

00:36:21 --> 00:36:22

you see somebody 50, 55,

00:36:23 --> 00:36:24

finish.

00:36:25 --> 00:36:27

Now when we become 50, we talk about

00:36:27 --> 00:36:28

the guys who are 90.

00:36:28 --> 00:36:29

Oh.

00:36:29 --> 00:36:30

SubhanAllah.

00:36:30 --> 00:36:32

So days are going by so fast,

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

so fast.

00:36:35 --> 00:36:37

I have no no clue. I want to

00:36:37 --> 00:36:39

accumulate as much as I can.

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

Now,

00:36:41 --> 00:36:43

we are healthy. We are we can move.

00:36:43 --> 00:36:45

We can do things. Let's take advantage.

00:36:47 --> 00:36:49

I mentioned the story before. I will mention

00:36:49 --> 00:36:50

it again. SubhanAllah. Zubaydah,

00:36:51 --> 00:36:51

the wife

00:36:54 --> 00:36:55

of Harun Rashid. Zubaydah, the wife of Harun

00:36:55 --> 00:36:57

Rashid, she made

00:36:57 --> 00:36:58

She made

00:37:05 --> 00:37:06

the people

00:37:13 --> 00:37:15

in Mina. And we all know that Rasool

00:37:15 --> 00:37:17

alaihi wasallam said, the best you could ever

00:37:17 --> 00:37:18

give is

00:37:19 --> 00:37:19

water.

00:37:20 --> 00:37:21

So

00:37:22 --> 00:37:24

she providing water provided water not to everybody,

00:37:24 --> 00:37:24

to the

00:37:27 --> 00:37:28

huge reward. Huge.

00:37:29 --> 00:37:30

So she died.

00:37:31 --> 00:37:33

Somebody saw her in a dream.

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

What happened to you

00:37:38 --> 00:37:39

She said,

00:37:40 --> 00:37:42

I'm in the highest place in general. So

00:37:42 --> 00:37:43

the person who saw in the dream, he

00:37:43 --> 00:37:45

said, is it because of that water you

00:37:45 --> 00:37:46

did in? She said,

00:37:47 --> 00:37:48

no, there's nothing.

00:37:54 --> 00:37:57

It was those 2 short I used to

00:37:57 --> 00:37:58

make in the middle of the night.

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

2 in the middle of the night.

00:38:02 --> 00:38:03

Not

00:38:04 --> 00:38:05

small, quick. 2

00:38:05 --> 00:38:07

rakas. Because like,

00:38:08 --> 00:38:10

he left Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, one of

00:38:10 --> 00:38:12

the hadith, he said, he left the comfort

00:38:12 --> 00:38:14

of his bed, the beauty of his wife,

00:38:14 --> 00:38:15

and he got up

00:38:15 --> 00:38:16

to pray for me.

00:38:18 --> 00:38:20

So this does not go to waste.

00:38:22 --> 00:38:24

Either before before you sleep

00:38:24 --> 00:38:25

or when you get up before

00:38:27 --> 00:38:29

and in your sujood, ask Allah

00:38:29 --> 00:38:31

whatever you want. After you make your salaam,

00:38:31 --> 00:38:34

raise your hands. This is when Allah descends

00:38:34 --> 00:38:35

to the first heaven in a way that

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

befits his majesty. And he's asking, what do

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

you want so I can give you? What

00:38:39 --> 00:38:41

do you want, You want You

00:38:41 --> 00:38:42

want Jannah.

00:38:43 --> 00:38:43

You want,

00:38:44 --> 00:38:47

righteous children. You want a good husband.

00:38:47 --> 00:38:48

You want money.

00:38:48 --> 00:38:49

You want forgiveness.

00:38:50 --> 00:38:52

What do you want? Allah is asking. And

00:38:52 --> 00:38:53

me and you are snoring.

00:38:56 --> 00:38:58

Snoring. And then he asked the brother, oh,

00:38:58 --> 00:39:01

I'm having so much problems, so many problems

00:39:01 --> 00:39:02

with my wife, so many problems with my

00:39:02 --> 00:39:04

with my husband, so many problems with my

00:39:04 --> 00:39:06

children. Yeah. He get up in the middle

00:39:06 --> 00:39:07

of the night and ask Allah,

00:39:09 --> 00:39:11

is there anything else, brother?

00:39:12 --> 00:39:13

Yeah, Allah.

00:39:15 --> 00:39:17

We want solutions and we don't wanna do

00:39:17 --> 00:39:17

anything.

00:39:17 --> 00:39:19

And he's he told us, alayhis salatu wa

00:39:19 --> 00:39:21

sallam, he told us the solution. Allah is

00:39:21 --> 00:39:24

asking, what do you want? Can you imagine

00:39:24 --> 00:39:26

somebody say, come to the masjid at 4

00:39:26 --> 00:39:29

o'clock in the morning and there will be

00:39:29 --> 00:39:30

00:39:31 --> 00:39:31

has $50,000,000,000

00:39:32 --> 00:39:34

and he's gonna ask you, what do you

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

want?

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

We'll be here at 3 o'clock just to

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

be on the safe side, maybe there's no

00:39:40 --> 00:39:41

space.

00:39:48 --> 00:39:50

Is saying, what do you want?

00:39:51 --> 00:39:53

Let him see you at that time raising

00:39:53 --> 00:39:53

00:40:01 --> 00:40:02

children. Cry.

00:40:03 --> 00:40:05

We want stuff and we don't wanna do

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

We want so many huge list every one

00:40:08 --> 00:40:10

the Rahim, the Rahman, the Kawi, the Abim

00:40:14 --> 00:40:15

is asking.

00:40:16 --> 00:40:17

And we have so many

00:40:19 --> 00:40:21

needs. Let him see you at that time

00:40:21 --> 00:40:22

raising your hands or let him see you

00:40:22 --> 00:40:24

with your head on the ground and the

00:40:24 --> 00:40:26

00:40:26 --> 00:40:27

just like

00:40:28 --> 00:40:29

our just like our

00:40:30 --> 00:40:31

The place of sujood used to be so

00:40:31 --> 00:40:33

wet. The wife of

00:40:33 --> 00:40:35

the of the Ozai, remember Ozai,

00:40:36 --> 00:40:37

a

00:40:37 --> 00:40:38

woman came

00:40:38 --> 00:40:39

to visit her.

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

And she while she was walking in her

00:40:42 --> 00:40:44

room, she stepped on something wet. She told

00:40:44 --> 00:40:44

her,

00:40:45 --> 00:40:48

Somebody, maybe one of the children here have,

00:40:48 --> 00:40:49

you know, urinated in your husband's

00:40:50 --> 00:40:51

when he prays.

00:40:51 --> 00:40:52

She said,

00:40:52 --> 00:40:54

this is not urine.

00:40:54 --> 00:40:55

This is his

00:40:55 --> 00:40:57

tears from the night.

00:40:58 --> 00:40:58

This is his tears. This is his tears

When is the last time you cried?

00:41:10 --> 00:41:11

When is last time you

cried?

00:41:19 --> 00:41:21

Came and fooled us and we thought that

00:41:21 --> 00:41:22

jannah

00:41:23 --> 00:41:23

is in my pocket.

00:41:25 --> 00:41:25

Right?

00:41:26 --> 00:41:28

Every time we imagine jannah, I see myself.

00:41:28 --> 00:41:30

And every time I close my eyes and

00:41:30 --> 00:41:33

imagine *, I see everybody I know that

00:41:33 --> 00:41:35

sin but I never see myself. I am

00:41:35 --> 00:41:37

No me, no for me.

00:41:38 --> 00:41:40

Guarantee, Jannah is in my pocket. I pray

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

fajr in Jannah. I'm done.

00:41:42 --> 00:41:43

I gave $1,000

00:41:43 --> 00:41:46

to Epic last week. Finish. Jannah is guaranteed.

00:41:50 --> 00:41:52

Please, a lot of people, a lot of

00:41:52 --> 00:41:54

people do not know the weight of these

00:41:54 --> 00:41:54

10 days.

00:41:55 --> 00:41:55

Please,

00:41:56 --> 00:41:58

00:41:58 --> 00:42:00

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

00:42:05 --> 00:42:06

Brother Omar is not here.

00:42:06 --> 00:42:08

He comes to Fajr. He's from Tanzania.

00:42:09 --> 00:42:12

On my way to Arlington last year,

00:42:12 --> 00:42:13

I was driving to Arlington. It was 1

00:42:13 --> 00:42:14

hour drive.

00:42:15 --> 00:42:16

A brother called me from New York and

00:42:16 --> 00:42:18

he said, brother, can you please record just

00:42:18 --> 00:42:19

2, 3 minutes? I wanna send it my

00:42:19 --> 00:42:20

group on WhatsApp.

00:42:22 --> 00:42:24

Quick recording about the hija. So I was

00:42:24 --> 00:42:26

driving, I recorded to him and I sent

00:42:26 --> 00:42:26

it.

00:42:27 --> 00:42:30

Brother Omar, this was last year, you're talking

00:42:30 --> 00:42:33

about now we are it's August last year.

00:42:33 --> 00:42:35

Brother Omar came from Tanzania. He said, brother

00:42:35 --> 00:42:37

Bajoul, I got a message from

00:42:38 --> 00:42:40

Tanzania, and the guy sounds like you.

00:42:41 --> 00:42:43

He got the same message I recorded to

00:42:43 --> 00:42:46

the guy from Tanzania. Tanzania. And today, somebody

00:42:46 --> 00:42:48

called me from India. They got the message

00:42:48 --> 00:42:49

that I recorded from

00:42:50 --> 00:42:51

on go on the way to Arlington from

00:42:51 --> 00:42:52

India.

00:42:52 --> 00:42:54

The point I'm trying to make is do

00:42:54 --> 00:42:56

not belittle the the small that you make,

00:42:57 --> 00:42:58

that you do. Send something.

00:42:59 --> 00:43:01

You never know who's gonna benefit from it.

00:43:02 --> 00:43:03

A lot of people are aware of Ramadan.

00:43:03 --> 00:43:06

Everybody knows about Ramadan. But when these days

00:43:06 --> 00:43:08

come, not too many people know. So may

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

Allah

00:43:08 --> 00:43:11

keep us alive to witness these days, and

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

may Allah

00:43:12 --> 00:43:14

make us from their people in these days

00:43:14 --> 00:43:15

to work their best, Insha'Allah.
