Salam Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh

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

Bismillah Alhamdulillah wa Salatu was Salam ala Rasulillah while

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

alihi wa sahbihi women who Allah

00:00:18 --> 00:00:22

we praise Allah subhanaw taala and we send peace and blessings on his

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

Noble Messenger Rasul allah sallallahu alayhi wa salam,

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

we ask Allah subhanaw taala to make this a gathering that He is

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

pleased with,

00:00:35 --> 00:00:41

to guide us to the best of what we learn and to give us Tofik to act

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

upon it

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

in a way that would be pleasing to Him, following closely in the

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

footsteps of Rasulullah Salallahu Alaihe Salam

00:00:51 --> 00:00:56

we thank Allah subhanaw taala that he has brought us to the threshold

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

of Ramadan

00:00:58 --> 00:01:03

and we ask Allah subhanaw taala Allahumma belovedness Ramadan,

00:01:04 --> 00:01:08

Allah help us to reach Ramadan which is still a day or two away.

00:01:09 --> 00:01:13

We ask Allah subhanaw taala to increase us in useful knowledge

00:01:14 --> 00:01:19

that will benefit us with him. We ask Allah subhanaw taala to open

00:01:19 --> 00:01:23

our hearing channels of the heart to his words.

00:01:25 --> 00:01:29

Alarm after ACMA Samia alumina lithic

00:01:30 --> 00:01:34

Allama John lamina Ladino testimonial corner for your tabula

00:01:34 --> 00:01:40

Asana your Allah make us among those who listen to the words of

00:01:40 --> 00:01:46

admonition and to follow the best of them in the best of ways

00:01:47 --> 00:01:53

Allama Zina Ilma Allah increases in useful knowledge.

00:01:55 --> 00:02:01

So today inshallah we are going to cover surah number 97, which is

00:02:01 --> 00:02:05

Surah Al Qadr, which is very relevant because we are just

00:02:05 --> 00:02:07

starting Ramadan in a day or two.

00:02:09 --> 00:02:14

So Surah Al Qadr is another one of the early makin sutras which we

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

have been covering. And as we have emphasized over and over again,

00:02:20 --> 00:02:26

that we should transcend time and distance and put ourselves in the

00:02:26 --> 00:02:31

position of the Sahaba who were being challenged by different

00:02:31 --> 00:02:37

situations and dynamically, Revelation was coming down Quran

00:02:37 --> 00:02:42

was being revealed, to give them strength, to handle their

00:02:42 --> 00:02:47

questions, and to provide guidance and strength for them. So in that

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

background,

00:02:49 --> 00:02:55

Allah subhanaw taala revealed the surah which is Surah Al kodra.

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

And this talks about a very, very special night, the night called

00:03:02 --> 00:03:08

Laylatul Qadr. Because this night, has an immense status and virtue

00:03:08 --> 00:03:09

before Allah subhanaw taala.

00:03:11 --> 00:03:16

The original the first Laylatul Qadr with its ultimate blessings,

00:03:17 --> 00:03:21

marked the beginning of the revelation of the Quran, to say

00:03:21 --> 00:03:26

you're gonna Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. It was an event

00:03:26 --> 00:03:32

that was unparalleled in human history, for its grandiose for its

00:03:32 --> 00:03:38

splendor, and the unparalleled significance that this knight

00:03:39 --> 00:03:43

would have on the life of mankind as a whole.

00:03:44 --> 00:03:50

Its greatness, and its eternal impact throughout human history,

00:03:51 --> 00:03:56

and the outcome of this night are far beyond human perception.

00:03:58 --> 00:04:04

Now, as we've covered previously, in this, the series that we did on

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

the Syrah, the revelation of the Quran, that Tenzin did not come

00:04:10 --> 00:04:14

directly from Allah subhanaw taala to rasool Allah salAllahu Alaihe

00:04:14 --> 00:04:21

Salam it came in stages. Now perhaps, there is a wisdom behind

00:04:21 --> 00:04:25

it, behind this 10 zeal as Allah subhanaw taala calls it with the

00:04:25 --> 00:04:30

nuzzle, that means it is step wise revelation.

00:04:31 --> 00:04:36

And if we reflect on it, what are we talking about? We are talking

00:04:36 --> 00:04:42

about the kalam of Allah. We are talking about a Safar of Allah

00:04:42 --> 00:04:45

subhanaw taala. We are talking about something that's not

00:04:45 --> 00:04:49

created, it's not part of creation. This is Allah himself

00:04:49 --> 00:04:50

his words.

00:04:52 --> 00:04:57

So anything that is all Allah

00:04:58 --> 00:04:59

is true.

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

Heavy,

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

literally, for created things to bear directly.

00:05:09 --> 00:05:13

If you remember the story of Musa alayhis salam, which Allah

00:05:13 --> 00:05:17

subhanaw taala has recounted in the Quran, Allah subhanaw taala

00:05:17 --> 00:05:18

says

00:05:20 --> 00:05:28

well, M magia Musa the me part in what Kalama who? Rob boohoo, Paul?

00:05:28 --> 00:05:38

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

well let me know, uh, well, meaning.

00:06:10 --> 00:06:15

Allah subhanaw taala says and Musa alayhis salam came to the time and

00:06:15 --> 00:06:22

the place that we had appointed. And his Lord spoke to him. And he

00:06:22 --> 00:06:27

Musa alayhis salam said, Oh my lord, oh my Rob, show me yourself,

00:06:28 --> 00:06:29

that I may look upon you.

00:06:31 --> 00:06:34

And Allah subhanaw taala said, you cannot see me.

00:06:35 --> 00:06:40

But look upon the mountain which was there. If it stands still in

00:06:40 --> 00:06:43

its place, then you shall see me.

00:06:44 --> 00:06:48

So when Allah subhanaw taala when his Lord's glory was cast upon the

00:06:48 --> 00:06:54

mountain that originally he made it collapse to dust, and musalla

00:06:54 --> 00:06:56

Salam fell unconscious.

00:06:57 --> 00:07:01

Then when Musala salaam recovered his consciousness, he said,

00:07:01 --> 00:07:06

Subhanak Glory be to You, Ya Allah, I turned to you independent

00:07:06 --> 00:07:12

repentance took to a lake. Well, Ana, a wilderness, meaning I am

00:07:12 --> 00:07:17

the first of those who believe. So just that the jelly of Allah

00:07:17 --> 00:07:23

subhanaw taala. In his reality, if the veil is removed, creation

00:07:23 --> 00:07:29

cannot bear that. Similar that is the journey from Allah similar as

00:07:29 --> 00:07:33

the effect of the kalam of Allah the Quran as Allah subhanaw taala

00:07:33 --> 00:07:37

says elsewhere in the Quran he says, Lo in

00:07:38 --> 00:07:44

the core Allah jabber little Laura Ito who are she am Moto sadiya

minha Shatila with Tilly Callum Thurlow not booty boo Herlin sal

00:07:50 --> 00:07:57

Allahu Miata facto rune. Allah says, had we sent down this Quran

00:07:57 --> 00:08:01

on a mountain you are Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would

00:08:01 --> 00:08:07

surely have seen it, humbled Harsha and shattered asunder, out

00:08:07 --> 00:08:12

of fear and off Allah this is the mountain Everest ranges of

00:08:12 --> 00:08:14

mountains cannot bear

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

the words of Allah subhanaw taala. Allah smart Allah says, such as

00:08:20 --> 00:08:25

the parables the examples, which he puts forward for mankind, that

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

they may reflect.

00:08:28 --> 00:08:34

So think of it this way. If that which is finite, which is created,

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

encounters the infinite,

00:08:38 --> 00:08:40

it is reduced to zero.

00:08:41 --> 00:08:47

Because even in mathematics, anything divided by infinity is

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

zero.

00:08:49 --> 00:08:53

So anything that's exposed to Allah subhanaw taala directly,

00:08:54 --> 00:08:56

would become nothingness.

00:08:57 --> 00:09:01

And that is one of the wisdoms in which

00:09:02 --> 00:09:06

the Quran was sent as a gradation of Revelation.

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

So from Allah subhanaw taala.

00:09:11 --> 00:09:18

The Kalam his words, were first transferred to the first creation.

00:09:19 --> 00:09:24

First thing that was created was a column. So Allah

00:09:25 --> 00:09:30

transferred his column to the column and order the two right

00:09:31 --> 00:09:37

from the column. The column of Allah was transferred to love

00:09:38 --> 00:09:45

fools, as Allah subhanaw taala says, Bell, who are called Majeed,

00:09:45 --> 00:09:52

fee lo him fooled. This is the Quran it is in the love manifold.

00:09:52 --> 00:09:54

So from Allah subhanaw taala

00:09:55 --> 00:09:59

to the column from the column to love from our food

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

And then from law, my foods, the garden tablet, it was sent in its

00:10:06 --> 00:10:11

entirety, the total Quran into the summer would Dunia

00:10:13 --> 00:10:17

which is the lowest of the seven heavens, the heavens that

00:10:17 --> 00:10:22

encompasses our cosmos, the known universe, that the heavens that we

00:10:22 --> 00:10:28

see. And specifically, as some of our scholars have said, that it

00:10:28 --> 00:10:32

was sent to the buyer to the house of might

00:10:34 --> 00:10:38

an honor, which is in the lowest heaven. So it was sent in

00:10:38 --> 00:10:44

Lillington kodra from LA Alma falls entirely into Vitalizer. In

00:10:44 --> 00:10:50

the first heaven here, somehow dunya and then from there, it was

00:10:50 --> 00:10:53

transferred gradually over 23 years

00:10:54 --> 00:10:57

to say your dinner Gibreel Allison,

00:10:59 --> 00:11:04

and from Sayidina Gibreel Ali Salam over that those 23 years to

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

say your dinner, Mohamed Salah Allahu alayhi wa sallam, over a 23

00:11:10 --> 00:11:15

year period, portion by portion. And this as you know, historically

00:11:15 --> 00:11:20

extended from the IR 610 to 632 of the Common Era.

00:11:22 --> 00:11:26

Our soul, Allah salAllahu Alaihe Salam had already been prepared to

00:11:26 --> 00:11:30

receive this because even that required a preparation. If you

00:11:30 --> 00:11:35

remember from the Syrah that he was made to love halwa and OSLA.

00:11:35 --> 00:11:39

He would he would retreat from everything, preparing him, and for

00:11:39 --> 00:11:43

six months before the Revelation, he was getting these dreams, these

00:11:43 --> 00:11:45

special dreams which would come true.

00:11:46 --> 00:11:51

So he was already being prepared for all to receive this. And yet

00:11:51 --> 00:11:55

when it came down, look what the effect was. He was shaking.

00:11:57 --> 00:12:01

He was afraid. He couldn't complete his his tour on the

00:12:01 --> 00:12:07

mountain he came down running. He even after all the preparation. It

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

was so heavy. He was scared. He came down. He told our mother

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

Omona Surya,

00:12:15 --> 00:12:21

Khadija Khadija or the Allah Juana that I'm afraid for myself, cover

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

me, cover me.

00:12:24 --> 00:12:28

Imagine that first encounter and we don't have time to go into

00:12:28 --> 00:12:32

details of that. But what an experience it was for somebody who

00:12:32 --> 00:12:36

had been prepared. His heart had been cleansed twice.

00:12:37 --> 00:12:41

He was being prepared for this and yet it was so heavy.

00:12:44 --> 00:12:49

Now, there may be other wisdoms behind the gradual revelation of

00:12:49 --> 00:12:53

the Quran, as Allah subhanaw taala tells us about some of them,

00:12:53 --> 00:12:58

because the kuffaar of Makkah, brought forward this argument

00:12:58 --> 00:13:03

because they were trying to find, you know, false, they said, We're

00:13:03 --> 00:13:09

call AlLadhina kifaru Lola news Zilla la Hill Quran or Joomla Tang

00:13:09 --> 00:13:10

Wahida

00:13:11 --> 00:13:16

Allah says those who disbelieve say Why is not the Quran revealed

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

to him all at once?

00:13:18 --> 00:13:23

Allah subhanaw taala says, gather early, early to third beta be here

00:13:23 --> 00:13:27

for the UK. What till now who 30

00:13:28 --> 00:13:34

We reveal it in stages in parts, that through age we may strengthen

00:13:34 --> 00:13:38

your heart means we will give you a revelation that's relevant to

00:13:38 --> 00:13:43

what's happening gradually so that you don't feel alone. It will

00:13:43 --> 00:13:47

strengthen your heart. And that's why we have revealed it gradually.

00:13:47 --> 00:13:51

So this is one wisdom. Also elsewhere Allah subhanaw taala

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

says

00:13:53 --> 00:13:59

well, Koran Farakka now who lit Takara who needs Takara, who Alan

00:13:59 --> 00:14:06

Salah Moog thing when does Xena Hooton Z Allah and it is the Quran

00:14:07 --> 00:14:11

that we have revealed in parts gradually, so that you can recite

00:14:11 --> 00:14:16

it to people at intervals so that they can understand it, they can

00:14:16 --> 00:14:21

memorize it, and we have sent it down in stages. So the Quran came

00:14:21 --> 00:14:26

down in stages. So with that background, we start with the

00:14:26 --> 00:14:30

surah Allah subhanaw taala starts with the surah and now older

00:14:30 --> 00:14:36

bIllahi min ash shaytani R rajim Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim in

00:14:38 --> 00:14:39

who fie Laila till

00:14:41 --> 00:14:47

Allah subhanaw taala says Indeed, it is We Who have sent this Quran

00:14:47 --> 00:14:53

down from on hi from LA Elma foods on the glorious Night of Power,

00:14:54 --> 00:14:56

the Night of Decree Leila Toluca.

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

And as we know that first revelation

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

It came in the month of Ramadan. And we all know that. Now there

00:15:06 --> 00:15:12

are differences of opinion. The strongest opinion is that it came

00:15:12 --> 00:15:17

down that first revelation on the 21st of Ramadan. And there is

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

another opinion that it came down on the 27th. So it was one of

00:15:21 --> 00:15:25

those last 10 Nights. How do we know that it was in Ramadan that

00:15:25 --> 00:15:29

it came down because we went over it last time Allah subhanaw taala

00:15:29 --> 00:15:36

says in Surah Baqarah Shaha Ramadan and the Uzi Luffy Hill

00:15:36 --> 00:15:43

core earn who the LIN by iannetta Minella Huda will fall upon

00:15:44 --> 00:15:50

Ramadan is the month in which was revealed the Quran. So that's the

00:15:50 --> 00:15:55

end of that discussion. It came in Ramadan as a guidance to mankind

00:15:55 --> 00:16:00

as clear proofs of guidance and as the criterion of right and wrong.

00:16:02 --> 00:16:07

Allah also says elsewhere in the Quran in surah, a de Haan

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

Allah subhanaw taala says in the movie lay letting Mbarara cotton

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

in can.

00:16:19 --> 00:16:26

The ring, verily We have sent down this Quran from on high on a

00:16:26 --> 00:16:30

blessed night Night of Qadr in the month of Ramadan, and we are ever

00:16:30 --> 00:16:34

warning people who disbelieve and who do evil.

00:16:36 --> 00:16:41

So that's the first idea then Allah subhanaw taala says, women

00:16:42 --> 00:16:45

at the raw can madly lead to coddle

00:16:46 --> 00:16:49

And what will explain to you

00:16:51 --> 00:16:55

what will explain to you the magnificence the importance, the

00:16:55 --> 00:17:01

significance of what little cutter the night of glory and decree is?

00:17:02 --> 00:17:08

So Allah subhanaw taala asks a rhetorical question. There is no

00:17:08 --> 00:17:13

answer to this question. He says, How can it be explained to you so

00:17:13 --> 00:17:18

this is the style of the Quran, to emphasize something that is so

00:17:18 --> 00:17:24

great, that it cannot even be comprehended? It's its greatness,

00:17:24 --> 00:17:29

its holiness, its sublimity of this night. It's beyond human

00:17:29 --> 00:17:34

understanding. And it is known fully only to Allah subhanaw

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

taala.

00:17:35 --> 00:17:42

However, we can ponder over the essence of revelation itself, and

00:17:42 --> 00:17:47

it's far reaching effects on human lives and values. And we can

00:17:47 --> 00:17:53

appreciate how great this event was, along with the night when it

00:17:53 --> 00:17:54

took place.

00:17:57 --> 00:18:02

Allah subhanaw taala says on that night, every matter of

00:18:02 --> 00:18:06

significance was made plain and distinct.

00:18:07 --> 00:18:10

New values and standards were established.

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

And it was and is one of the most beautiful signs of the grace, the

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

favor and mercy that Allah smart Allah bestow bestowed on mankind.

00:18:26 --> 00:18:32

Allah subhanaw taala says, Laila to cut the Hawaii room mean l

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

Fisher.

00:18:34 --> 00:18:39

The Night of Qadr is better than 1000 months.

00:18:40 --> 00:18:45

That is that worshiping Allah in that night is better than

00:18:45 --> 00:18:50

worshiping him continuously for 1000 months, which translates as

00:18:51 --> 00:18:57

83 years and four months. Most of us don't live that long. You get

00:18:57 --> 00:19:00

that reward better than that in one night.

00:19:02 --> 00:19:08

That night, little credit is great, because, number one, it was

00:19:08 --> 00:19:12

honored by Allah subhanaw taala He is the Creator he honors time he

00:19:12 --> 00:19:18

honors space alum declared for months to be sacred. Allah

00:19:18 --> 00:19:22

declared certain places like the Haramain and vital markers to be

00:19:22 --> 00:19:27

sacred, Allah subhanaw taala declared certain days like Arafa

00:19:28 --> 00:19:34

and Yama II don't otherwise as special and Allah subhanaw taala

00:19:34 --> 00:19:39

decreed the Night of Qadr to be very, very special and honored by

00:19:39 --> 00:19:44

the descent and revelation of the Quran, which includes the greatest

00:19:44 --> 00:19:50

of all truth Tauheed of Allah subhanaw taala in an ideology, the

00:19:50 --> 00:19:56

basis of values and standard, a comprehensive code of moral,

00:19:57 --> 00:20:00

social and ethical behavior, all of

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

which promote peace within ourselves and in the world at

00:20:06 --> 00:20:07

large.

00:20:08 --> 00:20:13

The night of color is great, because there is the descent of

00:20:13 --> 00:20:17

the angels in a special way, along with Gibreel Alayhis Salam, in

00:20:17 --> 00:20:24

particular, by as Allah says, By the leave or the command of the

00:20:24 --> 00:20:29

Lord in the original light, bringing down the revelation, and

00:20:29 --> 00:20:36

then again every year, there is a special descent of angels and the

00:20:36 --> 00:20:41

roar Gibreel Ali Salam on this night. Now this 1000 months can be

00:20:41 --> 00:20:44

taken literally as we said at three years and four months of

00:20:44 --> 00:20:50

worship, or it can be taken figuratively meaning for all time,

00:20:50 --> 00:20:54

it's better than worship at any time and for a very long time.

00:20:55 --> 00:20:59

Also, this night is great, because Allah subhanaw taala calls it a

00:20:59 --> 00:21:07

Rama. He says about Laylatul Qadr Ramadan Mirrabooka in who who was

00:21:07 --> 00:21:14

semi Haleem this night was Quran was sent this night as the mercy

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

from your Lord. Indeed He alone is truly the All Hearing the All

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

Knowing.

00:21:23 --> 00:21:27

So Allah subhanaw taala is telling us why these night This night is

00:21:28 --> 00:21:34

so great, and then tells us what is going on in the unseen world in

00:21:34 --> 00:21:38

a dimension that we don't have access to. He says in the next

00:21:38 --> 00:21:46

idea, the next Zelo mela cutover row fee is near robbing him Ming

00:21:46 --> 00:21:53

Cooley umber. In this night, the angels in the row which is

00:21:53 --> 00:21:57

understood as Gibreel la salaam, descend by Allah's permission and

00:21:57 --> 00:22:02

command with all decrees and commands could lay.

00:22:06 --> 00:22:12

This can also be interpreted as that there are special angels that

00:22:12 --> 00:22:15

are reputed to be sent down and some of the scholars have said

00:22:16 --> 00:22:20

that there are certain angels which surround you know, the, the

00:22:20 --> 00:22:26

far furthest your load tree as its strength as it's translated in the

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

in the

00:22:28 --> 00:22:29

Mirage

00:22:33 --> 00:22:39

the Sidra to moonta that there are certain angels there, that they

00:22:39 --> 00:22:42

are even made to descend on this night

00:22:48 --> 00:22:53

with an as you know, the angels are made of new. So, when they

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

descend, there is a light there is a note that comes with the

00:22:56 --> 00:23:00

descent. There is a note that comes with the descent of Gibreel

00:23:00 --> 00:23:05

Palestina there is a new that comes that came the ultimate node

00:23:05 --> 00:23:10

with the descent of the 10 zeal of the Quran. And this gives a

00:23:10 --> 00:23:14

special spiritual light till the break of dawn.

00:23:16 --> 00:23:23

Now, some of our scholars Mujahid are the Allah Han said that this

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

is a night of hokum which means the commands of Allah come down it

00:23:28 --> 00:23:32

is the light is the night in which the decrease the pada and Qadr

00:23:32 --> 00:23:38

concerning all things for the coming year that is coming, such

00:23:38 --> 00:23:44

as the risk, the provision, the deaths and other divine decrees

00:23:44 --> 00:23:50

which will come to pass. Such as we've gone through this COVID This

00:23:50 --> 00:23:53

was decreed in the last little cadre.

00:23:55 --> 00:23:59

Allah subhanaw taala says about this night in Surah de Haan he

00:23:59 --> 00:24:07

said, Fi ha You Franco Kulu Omran Hakeem Amara Minar, hindi na in

00:24:07 --> 00:24:09

Kunta Morosini.

00:24:11 --> 00:24:17

On that night, with its command, every matter of wisdom was decreed

00:24:17 --> 00:24:21

and made clear with the distinction between right and

00:24:21 --> 00:24:27

wrong Good and Evil by a command from us, for verily, we always

00:24:27 --> 00:24:32

have been sending down messengers and messages for the guidance of

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

mankind.

00:24:34 --> 00:24:39

So there is also the descent of commands on this night. Allah

00:24:39 --> 00:24:46

subhanaw taala says Salah moon here had Nakula fudge. That night,

00:24:46 --> 00:24:51

the night of little cuddle is Salam is peace. All that night,

00:24:52 --> 00:24:58

peace and goodness from Allah to his believing slaves until the

00:24:58 --> 00:24:59

appearance of dawn.

00:25:02 --> 00:25:08

This Salam is also interpreted as meaning that the angels give the

00:25:08 --> 00:25:13

greetings of Salaam, on those who are standing and worshiping Allah

00:25:13 --> 00:25:13

in this night.

00:25:14 --> 00:25:19

It also means the salam, the peace that comes with the night itself,

00:25:20 --> 00:25:23

wherein there is no evil on account of the shayateen

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

it also means that there is a special Sakina a tranquility and

00:25:30 --> 00:25:33

stillness in the hearts

00:25:34 --> 00:25:39

that is instilled in the hearts of the worshippers so that they can

00:25:39 --> 00:25:45

truly remember Allah Subhana Allah in the growth him in EBA in Munna

00:25:45 --> 00:25:51

jet in the app with full focus. It also means by the salam that

00:25:53 --> 00:25:57

salaam peace descends on this earth as a result of the

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

revelation of the Quran.

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

Now, my dear brothers and sisters, as we said, Imagine when the Quran

00:26:05 --> 00:26:10

was being revealed to the first generation, the Sahaba, at the

00:26:10 --> 00:26:13

time of Rasulullah, sallAllahu Lisanna. It was an act of

00:26:13 --> 00:26:17

Revelation. They didn't know what was coming next. They didn't know

00:26:17 --> 00:26:21

what was going to happen. It was dynamic, it was interactive, you

00:26:21 --> 00:26:24

know, they faced a situation, Quran would come according to

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

that, they asked a question, Quran would, would come, they faced a

00:26:28 --> 00:26:32

battle, they went through a battle Quran would descend, so it was

00:26:32 --> 00:26:37

responding to the needs to the challenges to the questions. So

00:26:37 --> 00:26:42

they live the Quran. They experience the Quran, as it was

00:26:42 --> 00:26:46

actively being revealed. And it impacted every aspect of their

00:26:46 --> 00:26:53

lives. And imagine the consolation in the strength they must have

00:26:53 --> 00:26:57

received from the revelation of the Quran, in their moments of

00:26:57 --> 00:27:00

weakness in the moments of challenges when they felt

00:27:01 --> 00:27:04

helpless. Allah will send the Quran

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

what a beautiful time in history to have lived.

00:27:11 --> 00:27:15

The subsequent generations, we're left with the book

00:27:16 --> 00:27:21

that addresses the hearts of the people who open their hearts to

00:27:21 --> 00:27:22

it.

00:27:23 --> 00:27:29

And gives them a perfect and unique system that fulfills all

00:27:29 --> 00:27:35

needs, spiritual, social, cultural, and it is suited to all

00:27:35 --> 00:27:41

times and situations. Because time is a creation of Allah, past

00:27:41 --> 00:27:47

present future is all the same to Allah subhanaw taala space is all

00:27:47 --> 00:27:51

the same to Allah spanner. That's why his word is eternal for all

00:27:51 --> 00:27:57

times. And it is adaptable to all places. And it shows the path of

00:27:57 --> 00:28:04

guidance, and it sets limits in every fundamental aspect of our

00:28:04 --> 00:28:05

lives.

00:28:06 --> 00:28:11

That is the manifestation of His mercy, and the wisdom of the one

00:28:11 --> 00:28:13

who knows everything.

00:28:16 --> 00:28:20

little cousin, my dear brothers and sisters occurs every year

00:28:21 --> 00:28:24

commemorating the first revelation

00:28:26 --> 00:28:32

every year, it is a night of joy, of immense value. It has a special

00:28:32 --> 00:28:37

honored status and position and rank in the dimension of time,

00:28:38 --> 00:28:41

full of prayer and worship and blessings.

00:28:42 --> 00:28:47

So we are commanded by Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam not to

00:28:47 --> 00:28:52

forget or neglect this great event. He Salallahu Alaihe Salam

00:28:52 --> 00:28:57

has taught us how to commemorate it and commemoration is not by

00:28:57 --> 00:29:02

lights, and by sweets and by eating and indulging, it is with

00:29:02 --> 00:29:09

our souls that we may always find the closest communion connection

00:29:09 --> 00:29:13

with Allah subhanaw taala on this night, and that we always link

00:29:13 --> 00:29:17

back out hearts to that great event. The first day little

00:29:17 --> 00:29:20

covered when the Quran was revealed.

00:29:22 --> 00:29:27

So when does little Crowder occur? This is the most commonly asked

00:29:27 --> 00:29:31

question. Unfortunately, the most commonly asked question, when is

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

relative kodra

00:29:33 --> 00:29:38

the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam was told about little powder. And

00:29:38 --> 00:29:42

one night he came into the masjid to inform his Sahaba about

00:29:42 --> 00:29:43

Laylatul Qadr.

00:29:44 --> 00:29:49

Guess what was happening in the masjid? Two of the Sahaba were

00:29:49 --> 00:29:54

quarreling, arguing, I don't want to use fighting but arguing with

00:29:55 --> 00:29:55

each other.

00:29:58 --> 00:30:00

And the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam said

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

Had I came to tell you about to inform me about a little cupboard,

00:30:05 --> 00:30:09

but I was made to forget it because of the quarterly.

00:30:11 --> 00:30:12

What is the lessons from this?

00:30:14 --> 00:30:19

That what we do here has an impact in the unseen world.

00:30:20 --> 00:30:26

And that Allah does not like believers to fight or quarrel with

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

each other. Because when they do, the blessings are removed.

00:30:31 --> 00:30:35

The blessings are removed. Allah subhanaw taala took this

00:30:35 --> 00:30:37

information from the heart of Rasulullah sallallahu

00:30:39 --> 00:30:40

just as he had given it to him.

00:30:44 --> 00:30:48

Perhaps then he said, perhaps it is better for you that you don't

00:30:48 --> 00:30:53

know. Why is that better? Because if you knew one specific night,

00:30:54 --> 00:30:57

you would go all out on one night and neglect neglect the rest of

00:30:57 --> 00:31:00

the nights, whereas Allah is the rub off.

00:31:01 --> 00:31:06

Every night he deserves to be worshipped like that every night,

00:31:06 --> 00:31:07

and of course every day.

00:31:09 --> 00:31:13

So what do we know about local culture when it occurs? It occurs

00:31:13 --> 00:31:18

in the month of Ramadan. Every Ramadan and this comes from

00:31:18 --> 00:31:22

Abdullah Abner Amar about the Allah Juan and some say this is

00:31:22 --> 00:31:26

moku from him. And there are other narrations which take it back to

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

rasool Allah cellulitis. So that's the general that it's in Ramadan.

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

The second generality is the Prophet sallallahu alayhi. Salam

00:31:34 --> 00:31:40

said look for it in the last 10 nights of Ramadan. So now we have

00:31:40 --> 00:31:46

restricted it to the last 10 nights. And then he particularized

00:31:46 --> 00:31:51

it in other Hadith by saying it occurs in the odd nights, so it's

00:31:51 --> 00:31:56

more specific. So you said look for it in the ninth, the seventh

00:31:56 --> 00:32:01

to the fifth, the third or the you know, or the last night. So which

00:32:01 --> 00:32:07

means the ninth night, the lab seventh, fifth, third, and the

00:32:07 --> 00:32:11

last night, we turn it around the other way. This means when nine

00:32:11 --> 00:32:15

are left when seven are left, when five are left, the other way to

00:32:15 --> 00:32:20

put it is look for it on the 21st night, the 23rd night, the 25th

00:32:20 --> 00:32:24

night, the 27th night, the 29th night or the last night.

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

Now,

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

going by this it appears that it varies each year. Among those

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

nights that it's not fixed on one night.

00:32:37 --> 00:32:39

There is a narration from

00:32:40 --> 00:32:43

say your dinner, I will say that Hodari or the Allah Han

00:32:44 --> 00:32:50

that the Prophet salallahu alayhi salam early on in Ramadan came out

00:32:50 --> 00:32:56

to perform at the caf in the first 10 nights of Ramadan. And the

00:32:56 --> 00:32:57

Sahaba joined

00:32:58 --> 00:33:03

when the last of those first 10 Nights came Gibreel Ali Salam came

00:33:03 --> 00:33:06

to the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam and said y'all rasool Allah,

00:33:06 --> 00:33:11

that which you seek you're looking for is ahead of you. In other

00:33:11 --> 00:33:14

words, it hasn't come. So Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam

00:33:15 --> 00:33:19

then continued his ethic, AF and asked the Sahaba to continue at

00:33:19 --> 00:33:21

the car for the second 10 Nights.

00:33:22 --> 00:33:25

At the end of that Gibreel Allah Salam came again and said the

00:33:25 --> 00:33:29

rasool Allah, that which you look for, is ahead of you.

00:33:30 --> 00:33:35

So then he continued desire to cough for the last 10 nights and

00:33:35 --> 00:33:36

the Sahaba continued that.

00:33:39 --> 00:33:40

And then he said,

00:33:41 --> 00:33:48

I was made to forget it, but I was shown the night and I saw myself

00:33:48 --> 00:33:53

doing Sajida to Allah subhanaw taala and salah, and there was mud

00:33:53 --> 00:33:59

on my and water on my forehead, I saw myself doing such that in mud

00:33:59 --> 00:34:00

and water.

00:34:02 --> 00:34:03

And that was the night

00:34:04 --> 00:34:05

of

00:34:06 --> 00:34:11

between the 20th and the 21st, which means the 21st night, it had

00:34:11 --> 00:34:15

been clear all day. And in the night, suddenly a cloud came and

00:34:15 --> 00:34:18

it rained. And when the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam did his

00:34:18 --> 00:34:23

Fudger and he got up the Sahaba saw water and mud on his forehead.

00:34:23 --> 00:34:25

And that was the 21st night.

00:34:27 --> 00:34:28

So

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

she was mad.

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

The Prophet salallahu alayhi salam taught us that there are some

00:34:37 --> 00:34:42

signs during the night. He says

00:34:43 --> 00:34:48

that there is a purity and the glow. Now this glow doesn't mean

00:34:48 --> 00:34:52

that the skies are lit up. It is a spiritual glow that people who

00:34:52 --> 00:34:55

have clarity in their hearts who have reached a certain level of

00:34:55 --> 00:34:59

this gear feel something special about

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

This night.

00:35:01 --> 00:35:07

He says that there is he described it as a bright tranquility in the

00:35:07 --> 00:35:12

night, like you would have on a night with a calm, moonlit night.

00:35:13 --> 00:35:17

Then he described the temperature as being moderate. He said it's

00:35:17 --> 00:35:19

not too hot, and not too cold.

00:35:20 --> 00:35:25

And he said that you on that night you will not see any shooting

00:35:25 --> 00:35:30

stars and emit yours. And as we know, mute yours are cast at the

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

shayateen as they tries to reach certain levels of dimensions. And

00:35:35 --> 00:35:39

he says there will be no shooting stars in this night, till the

00:35:39 --> 00:35:45

morning. And then he gave us a sign that once the sun rises, if

00:35:45 --> 00:35:50

you look at the sun, you can tell because he says it rises like a

00:35:50 --> 00:35:55

full moon. In other words, it doesn't come out with bright rays

00:35:55 --> 00:35:58

because the shayateen are prevented from from rising with

00:35:58 --> 00:36:03

it. So it comes out as a big disk, like a full moon, but it's not

00:36:03 --> 00:36:07

like shiny, shiny where you can put your eye on it. So that's a

00:36:07 --> 00:36:11

sign after limited color. So this is what we know about when

00:36:11 --> 00:36:17

possibly little cutter can be each year. But as I said before, the

00:36:17 --> 00:36:23

more important question to ask is, what should we do for little

00:36:23 --> 00:36:24

cutter?

00:36:25 --> 00:36:31

So the Prophet salallahu Salam has urged us to spend this night each

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

year and ibadah. In devotion in worship. He said, Seek the night

00:36:37 --> 00:36:42

of other in the last 10 nights of Ramadan. And then he said we're

00:36:42 --> 00:36:48

men karma de Latin later till Kadri Iman, the sermon woofer

00:36:48 --> 00:36:53

Allahu Mata Katama mean them be the to whoever stands in the Night

00:36:53 --> 00:36:54

of Qadr

00:36:55 --> 00:37:01

spending it in worship, with a pure intention out of faith, with

00:37:01 --> 00:37:08

devotion, expectant of its full reward will have his past sins

00:37:08 --> 00:37:13

forgiven. This is narrated, it's a multifocal nollie narrated by Imam

00:37:13 --> 00:37:14

Bukhari and Imam Muslim.

00:37:16 --> 00:37:21

So he Salallahu Alaihe Salam made a special effort not to miss the

00:37:21 --> 00:37:24

little cover. And as we said in that previous narration,

00:37:25 --> 00:37:29

why one month in the beginning, he meant he did add to cart for the

00:37:29 --> 00:37:34

whole month. But after that every year, unless he was traveling, he

00:37:34 --> 00:37:36

would do a tick off in the last 10 nights

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

of each Ramadan

00:37:40 --> 00:37:45

to find little codons, and in the last year of his life before our

00:37:45 --> 00:37:49

soul, Allah salAllahu Alaihe Salam was taken to his eternal abode

00:37:49 --> 00:37:53

with Allah subhanaw taala. He did have to cough in the last 20

00:37:53 --> 00:37:54

Nights.

00:37:56 --> 00:38:01

So what did he do in his eye to cough our mothers tell us that he

00:38:01 --> 00:38:06

used to stay away from his wives in the attic if he did not

00:38:06 --> 00:38:10

approach them, he kept away from everything he used to isolate

00:38:10 --> 00:38:15

himself for the worship of Allah subhanaw taala with full focus and

00:38:15 --> 00:38:19

that's what the Sahaba did. That's what Omona our mothers did.

00:38:21 --> 00:38:27

So spending the night in worship in Salah in tilava in the out in

00:38:27 --> 00:38:29

Managua in in dhikr.

00:38:30 --> 00:38:31

All night

00:38:35 --> 00:38:39

I'm gonna say that tonight Aisha Radi Allahu Anhu. Now just think

00:38:39 --> 00:38:40

of this.

00:38:41 --> 00:38:44

Once the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam was asked by I believe it

00:38:44 --> 00:38:47

was Abdullah, Muhammad, even Alaska, the Allah Allah. Ya

00:38:47 --> 00:38:52

Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam, who do you love the most?

00:38:52 --> 00:38:55

He said, I Asia or the Allahu Anhu.

00:38:57 --> 00:39:02

Then he said, and who do you love, after thinking that it would be

00:39:02 --> 00:39:07

him? Then he said her father. So you had an old Bukhara said

00:39:07 --> 00:39:12

differently Alon. So this is the person whom he loved the most. So

00:39:12 --> 00:39:17

you know, I shut up the Alana asks him and may Allah grant her the

00:39:17 --> 00:39:19

highest of Jannah and the companionship of Rasulullah

00:39:19 --> 00:39:23

sallallahu alayhi salam, she asked for our benefit. She said Ya

00:39:23 --> 00:39:27

rasool Allah, what if I find a little cuddle? What should I say?

00:39:28 --> 00:39:31

So it's such an innocent question, what should I say? What's the best

00:39:31 --> 00:39:34

thing to say? And he salAllahu alayhi salam then gave her this

00:39:34 --> 00:39:40

gift. Now he's giving a gift. So he had almost Celine is giving a

00:39:40 --> 00:39:42

gift to the one he loves the most in this dunya

00:39:43 --> 00:39:48

he said Yeah, I shall say, Allah whom in full one to Habibollah for

00:39:48 --> 00:39:51

for our funny. Oh Allah.

00:39:52 --> 00:39:57

Indeed, you are the one who pardons who loves to pardon. So

00:39:57 --> 00:39:58

pardon me.

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

What does pardoned mean?

00:40:03 --> 00:40:07

That he leaves no sign of any sin that we committed.

00:40:09 --> 00:40:14

It's not just forgiveness, because it's forgiven. You're not going to

00:40:14 --> 00:40:17

be punished for it, but it remains that it's on your record.

00:40:18 --> 00:40:23

But the pardoning they assume, is this there is no punishment, and

00:40:23 --> 00:40:26

it's also erased, there is no record that it ever happened.

00:40:26 --> 00:40:34

Allah in nigga 412 Hibbeler for, for our fine knee as much as you

00:40:34 --> 00:40:38

can, as much as you can all night, sincerely reflecting on it

00:40:38 --> 00:40:43

reflecting on what you want apple for thinking about all the things

00:40:43 --> 00:40:47

we have done from the most major and going down the line to the

00:40:47 --> 00:40:50

most. If there is minor, there is no minor because it's against

00:40:50 --> 00:40:55

Allah subhanaw taala greatness that we commit sins. So this is

00:40:55 --> 00:40:56

what needs to be done.

00:40:57 --> 00:40:59

How can we guarantee

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

that we don't miss a little cover?

00:41:05 --> 00:41:15

If you worship all night, 21st 23rd 25th 2729 Last night,

00:41:15 --> 00:41:18

does that guarantee that you will not miss the little color?

00:41:20 --> 00:41:22

Well, let me propose to you this.

00:41:23 --> 00:41:28

In this dunya even in this country, the audit even may be

00:41:28 --> 00:41:31

different because one started fasting on Friday one started on

00:41:31 --> 00:41:35

Saturday. So you're odd, maybe somebody else is even so who is

00:41:35 --> 00:41:40

right. So what is the way of capturing little cutter? Now you

00:41:40 --> 00:41:46

get the answer. Don't miss the bad don't come down in level of Ibadah

00:41:46 --> 00:41:50

in any of the last 10 Nights, that's the surefire way of not

00:41:50 --> 00:41:51

missing it.

00:41:52 --> 00:41:56

And don't go all out on odd and not so much. Make sure that you do

00:41:56 --> 00:42:01

the same every night, all night. Now if you're an air to calf,

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

that's easy.

00:42:04 --> 00:42:07

But if you're not not to cough, you should still make that plan.

00:42:08 --> 00:42:12

Catch up, make your daytime schedule of work easy. So you can

00:42:12 --> 00:42:16

get some rest so you are fresh at night, you take little pallulah

00:42:16 --> 00:42:20

you sleep at night. So you are charged up for the night.

00:42:21 --> 00:42:23

Don't spend night, the night

00:42:24 --> 00:42:27

eating and talking and chit chatting

00:42:28 --> 00:42:32

just between you and Allah subhanaw taala you and Allah

00:42:32 --> 00:42:36

subhanaw taala eat very lightly, don't waste time. Don't have a

00:42:36 --> 00:42:40

thought and so or half hour and half hour, five minutes and five

00:42:40 --> 00:42:44

minutes if that's what you need. Because time

00:42:46 --> 00:42:50

especially Ramadan, and especially little cutter, this is our

00:42:50 --> 00:42:50

capital.

00:42:51 --> 00:42:55

This is our capital, you need to invest your capital

00:42:56 --> 00:42:58

for the Accra don't let any of that go.

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

I ask Allah subhanaw taala to grant us accepted worship

00:43:07 --> 00:43:10

of the little brother that is coming to give us Tofik the health

00:43:10 --> 00:43:16

and the ability to worship him sincerely, Iman and read the seven

00:43:16 --> 00:43:21

with full devotion and expectant of his reward and forgiveness all

00:43:21 --> 00:43:27

night and that he accept this encounter and ennoble and clap.

00:43:27 --> 00:43:32

give clarity to our hearts by removing our sins, and that out of

00:43:32 --> 00:43:39

his mag, mag magnanimity, and his greatness and His generosity, that

00:43:39 --> 00:43:44

he also accept all of our past Lella Toluca even though though we

00:43:44 --> 00:43:47

may not have been as

00:43:48 --> 00:43:50

giving it its full right,

00:43:52 --> 00:43:59

because Allah can still give the same blessings. May Allah subhanaw

00:43:59 --> 00:44:04

taala make this Ramadan, a means of blessing for all of you for all

00:44:04 --> 00:44:09

of us for our ummah. May Allah smart Allah bestowed the full

00:44:09 --> 00:44:10

blessings of Ramadan

00:44:11 --> 00:44:16

on us, open our hearts to his revelation to the understanding

00:44:16 --> 00:44:20

and Tofig to follow it. May Allah subhanaw taala help us and deliver

00:44:20 --> 00:44:24

us from Ramadan and from Laylatul Qadr in a state where we are

00:44:24 --> 00:44:28

completely forgiven. And of course, I remind myself and to you

00:44:28 --> 00:44:34

and you to do Toba completely all the time before from all of our

00:44:34 --> 00:44:38

sins. So we enter Ramadan in a state of purity. And we ask Allah

00:44:38 --> 00:44:43

subhanaw taala as mercy for our entire ummah of Rasulullah

00:44:43 --> 00:44:47

sallallahu alayhi salam, and for mankind in general specially in

00:44:47 --> 00:44:50

these challenging times.

00:44:51 --> 00:44:56

However, as we mentioned last time, this COVID has given us

00:44:56 --> 00:44:59

special blessings has given us extra time to prepare

00:45:00 --> 00:45:04

And in sha Allah in Ramadan, the schedule will continue where you

00:45:04 --> 00:45:08

don't have so much work that you are socially isolated. So you can

00:45:08 --> 00:45:13

focus on our last month Allah please please use your time in a

00:45:13 --> 00:45:19

way that it would have weighed in should have significance in the

00:45:19 --> 00:45:23

sight of Allah subhanaw taala and remember each other in your DUA

00:45:24 --> 00:45:28

whenever you be generous with dua for each other. Because the

00:45:28 --> 00:45:31

prophets Allah Allah, Allah Islam teaches us that when you do the

00:45:31 --> 00:45:35

half for your brother or sister in their absence, there are angels
