Imam Inessa email loss of Hanover to Allah have mercy on him. reports that Abu Hurayrah relates to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, the messenger of allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam saying the words that I just read to you, where the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam

would alert his community

and share with them the news of the arrival of the month of Ramadan.

The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam

wood every time I remind his community

of the, this beautiful gift, the arrival of this beautiful guest and gift that Allah subhanaw taala has endowed upon this ummah.

No one has the month of Ramadan, and very often we mentioned this hadith in the first Jumeirah in Ramadan, yet, that's going to be about five days into the month of Ramadan. So I wanted on this last Friday before the month of Ramadan, the last Friday of the blessing month of Shaban to remind you of this and maybe discuss today in sha Allah Allah in the hotbar. Later tonight, some meaningful ways we can prepare for the arrival of this honorable guest of ours.

So that way, we don't miss out on anything and that we are actually ready when the announcement of the arrival of the month of Ramadan is made. So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in the Hadith, he said to the Companions to his community, some Allahu alayhi wa sallam, to the companions to the Ummah, to all of us.

Something that needs to echo

in the psyche of every believer throughout the year, but it's specifically around this time.

The province of Allahu alayhi wa sallam said Atacama Ramadan

Ramadan has come to you.

Ramadan has arrived. And the Prophet very often would refer to the month of Ramadan not as as the month of Ramadan shahada Ramadan no Ramadan.

So the Prophet said, Atacama Ramadan Ramadan has come to you. And then the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam praises this month, says Sharon Mobarak it is a blessing and sacred month. Shadow Mubarak is a blessing month for of Allah azza wa jal la la cosa Yama, Allah azza wa jal

the Almighty,

the majestic, the sublime Subhanallah what the honor has enjoined upon you Allah made it obligatory upon you too fast to have to observe fasting during this month.

So one thing that makes it a special besides it being in and of itself, a blessed month, it is the month that we are we experienced and observe fasting for Allah Allah equals Yama, then the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam goes further.

And obviously the province has said LEM is referring to the verse in Surah Baqarah, where Allah azza wa jal quotevalet from Muslim Allah addresses the believers yeah you Allah Dena M and Katya on April cm

fasting was enjoined upon you and made obligatory upon you come aquity vida, Nadine Amin public come, as it was upon those who are before you, except that Allah azza wa jal has

given this ummah, the special gift of the month of Ramadan being the month that we are obligated to fast

and no one in the world

observes this act of worship known as fasting like we do.

No one in the world

and no other month is worthy of us fasting that is better than this month.

The month of Ramadan

is a gift and we ought to realize how fortunate we are so much so that I personally know people who are not Muslim who fast the month of Ramadan

and that their experience when they fast the month of Ramadan, especially when they do dry fasting. That was stressful. When they fast like we fast, what they experienced when they report to us and share with us.

The spiritual experience of these individuals who are not Muslim, by the way,

is different from any other time of the year.

So Allah Subhana Allah Allah says, shahada Ramadan Allah the only the field

The month of Ramadan. One of the reasons this month is blessed is because it's the month during which the Quran was revealed some of the Quran

so the Prophet said attack comes after Ramadan. Shalom olarak so blessed month, Allah azza wa jal enjoying the party to fast this month. Then the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam shares the good news of this month being specifically the month, during which two factor coffee here at wearables summit Wi Fi Rewi of wearable Jana, there are two narrations one narration, the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam says the doors or the gates of heaven, are opened.

And another narration the Prophet says the gates of Jannah are open specifically.

Which means that those are open the gates of heaven are open and the gates of Jannah are hope open.

What does that mean? What does that imply?

It implies that your actions your good deeds as well as

the most essential.

As a matter of fact, the essence of worship which is dua is heard and it's accepted during the month of Ramadan. That is why Allah azza wa jal in the Quran, in the middle of these verses that talk about the month of Ramadan that talk about fasting, Allah azza wa jal brings up his response to his servants, who were wondering whether he is close to them,

so that they would whisper

their prayers and their supplications or whether Allah azza wa jal

is remote, that they have to raise their voices, and that Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam didn't have an answer. It was Allah azza wa jal who supplied him with the answer. Allah has just said to him, well either so eloquently bad Yanni, this verse, which again, came in response to the companions of the prophets of Allah who Ali was salam, inquiring about Allah azza wa jal distance from them.

Allah azza wa jal himself responded to them, saying what either so Allah carry Daddy and Me if My servants ask you about Me or Muhammad,

in the Corrib, I am indeed very close to them. Not only is Allah close to us, Allah azza wa jal in the Quran tells us he is closer to us than our jugular veins. Can't get any closer

to him the Corrib Oh ye with our third day there and I answer and I respond to the prayer and supplication and the requests and the wishes of anyone that turns to me.

So the prophet tells us to factor he was summer the gates of having a wide open

the gates of Jannah are wide open.

What we call a coffee Abuja him and the gates of hell are shut.

So the believers, those who observe faster and respond to the call of Allah subhanho wa taala. They're the safest in this month.

Then the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam mentioned the fact that also

the devils

and demons are chained and restrained in the month of Ramadan. They don't have as much effect on the believers. That is why you and I experienced a boost a spiritual boost.

Our spiritual energy increases during the month of Ramadan, and somehow miraculous miraculously, by the Grace of Allah, the Almighty you and I are capable of by the Grace of Allah subhanho wa Taala of things that throughout the year, we make all kinds of excuses not to do.

Somehow we managed to read the Quran every day and listen to it somehow, we managed to pray every prayer on time somehow, we fill up the massage and then we come more frequently, to Salah to Gemini, somehow we pray at the amillennial or tarawih every single night somehow, we stay many state

to raise their hands and supplicate and cry out to Allah subhanho wa Taala somehow we fast. Every single day somehow we quit some of our bad habits.

Somehow we change our lifestyle somehow we are much more committed and regular with our meals. Somehow we connect socially

better during the month of Ramadan.

Somehow we do all of that.

Yet many managed to still go to work, go to school

and live their lives. And on top of that, our energy level increases. And tonight is sha Allah to Allah.

And our Friday

night program, we're going to shed some light.

Tonight we're going to actually talk about the mystery of some of these things that we are able to do,

that we should prepare ourselves for.

Then the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam talks about how the month of Ramadan has a night that is better than 1000 Night.

Whoever misses out

the higher the goodness of this night, then that person is truly deprived from all good.

So my dear brothers and sisters, what do we need to do? I know that of Hamdulillah you know, and by the way, please do not feel guilty and Chautala and second football talk about how we should maintain positive spirit and maintain faith and certainty in the Promise of Allah azza wa jal to the believers in sha Allah God, but my dear brothers and sisters, by all means

anything that you can do, especially to make our children now our neighbor has realized the greatness of this month

I don't have any issues with that.

Declutter the month of Ramadan after all is an honorable guests.

Clean up, prepare, decorate, celebrate, welcome the month of Ramadan prepare. I have no issues with people picking up their their favorite type of dates, so long, they do not support

the savages

or those who support the savages that should sacred blood

in the sacred land.

So prepare your favorite

dates and nuts.

Figure out your entire plan when it comes to your grocery and shopping. Get all of that out of the way today and tomorrow, by all means.

But there are other things that we need to focus on as much if not more.

The number one

is making sure that we cleanse that we cleanse and we declutter

spiritually, just like we clean our homes and we organize and we Declutter. We need to declutter mentally and emotionally and most importantly, spiritually, there are certain things that have been weighing heavily on us that have been cluttering our minds that have been really

polluting our souls, we need to get rid of that. Some of them are bad habits. Some of them are addictions, some of them are obsessions.

Some of them are grudges and disputes and conflicts that we have with other people. Some of them are us being distracted by everything else in our lives from our most important relationship and that is our relationship with Allah subhanaw taala we have other relationships and attachments that are getting in the way of us being consistent with our prayers of us being more committed to our Salah more committed to our dhikr more committed to Allah subhana wa Tada.

practices

that Allah subhanaw taala doesn't approve of that are getting between us and Allah azza wa jal. We need to really address these issues. So today tomorrow whatever it is, sit with yourself and tell yourself what is getting between me and Allah subhana wa Tada

and try to read yourself from it. Number two.

plan you're

a badass your recovery process the month of Ramadan, comes every year male models will allow us to experience it again and again and again man Allah azza wa jal allow us to reach this month in the best of his state and the spirit

Allahumma salmonella Ramadan was Salim Ramadan Elena,

the month of Ramadan comes every year for us to recover spiritually

to be able to recover whatever from whatever damage happens between us and Allah subhanho wa Taala that requires plan for us we need to plan so figure out your plan. What are you planning to do to improve your relationship with Allah subhanaw taala and to have better connect

So with Allah subhanaw taala in the month of Ramadan, may Allah subhanaw taala make that easy for us I mean out of anatomy

focus on acts of kindness and charity and other forms of worship.

Obviously, reading Quran praying Sofitel Are we praying our Salah on time, these are great acts of worship, but try to actually add something to it more to it than what you have been doing in the past. So, give.

Give generously give from your money get from your time, give from your expertise, volunteer, get involved.

Don't always just be someone who receives services but rather I want you to experience the power, the beauty

and the sweetness of service serving others. So if your local community your local masjid, your local organization has opportunities for you, Rush.

Rush to it, jump on it, be part of it.

Number for

the month of Ramadan is the month of June.

And us as individuals in our Ummah is desperately in need of

so familiarize yourself with the prophetic prayers that Allah subhanaw taala taught us what we have in the Quran. They're beautiful. They're beautiful prayers and supplications Allah azza wa jal mentioned in the Quran, there are beautiful prayers the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam taught us and then there are some things that are personal to you. Create a list of do out for yourself something that you would do, or your you would say every single night, every single morning, no matter how Allah is effective. One of my students one time told me about something that she did. May Allah Subhana Allah bless her.

She did it. She made a list of five prayers, five things that she was praying for every single night of Ramadan, don't take a chance and just wait for the 27th night because you never know which night it's going to be. Right. So every single night she made dua, I said and then what happened? She said Allah Subhana Allah answered every single one of them, except one.

I said in which one was it?

She said it was the one about making Hajj.

I said Subhan Allah may Allah Subhana Allah answer that door as well because the reason I reached out to her is because someone asked me to see if that individual

wants to go for Hajj.

Somehow, so I learned a lesson from that. I said, Okay, next year, I'm gonna do the same thing.

Wallahi twerks

I swear by a lot works. Prepare your draft list. Because when you do this, it shows that level of seriousness that you are really serious and committed, that you desperately want. Whatever it is for yourself, for your children for their future, for their safety, for their success, for their salvation in the Hereafter, whatever you're making.

Just be consistent. And Allah Subhana Allah

Allahu

Allah loves to hear the voice of His servant making dua again and again and again repeated and don't ever give up. Don't give up after the 27th night a lot of people will stop

because you never know when the answer is about to come and we're told in the heavy that there are people who make dry they keep making dry and when it was about to be answered they stop it's like when you go you call someone and then the phone is ringing and when they're about to pick up your hang up

don't do that.

So be consistent. Last but not least connect with those who share that same space called home with you with your family members connect with them chicken with them get to know what their especially our children as your mama we need to know how they're experiencing Ramadan what it means to them connect with them connect with your spouse connect with your in laws connect with your neighbors connect with your community members connect with your Amma May Allah subhana wa Tada purify our souls may Allah make us of those who listen to follow the best. Listen to a poodle has a cold was Sophia Rola honey welcome euro in the hula hula Rahim.

hamdulillah Kapha salatu salam ala the Lydian of SAPA well that this Ramadan particularly you

comes

under circumstances that we may have experienced something similar to in the past.

Something similar, but each and every single one of these experiences is different.

The plight of our brothers and sisters in Gaza

is something that is on the mind of every conscious, moral, morally sound

believer.

And I know that some of us may feel awkward or guilty, even

welcoming the month of Ramadan or celebrating or preparing anything you feel you've you, you feel like can I feel normal?

Can I even be excited?

So one thing that we have to keep in mind, my dear brothers and sisters

is that what a doula has the Promise of Allah subhanaw taala will be fulfilled

and if you read or study history, you will know

and Al Aqsa

well, we'll move on to mocha Jessa to meet Holly as well a Cramo Allah azza wa jal Minang yet Ahmed Khanna fie Hammond relative Allahu La Walla.

Walla Hilah Helidon Yana Allah Humphrey Harish?

What to call up Jesu wa Hubbell Allah azza wa jal min and Allah shut off to Hariri her. But the fairy and her Illa Montana Abdon Harless Allah azza wa jal was shahada Ramadan, for certain lady had a shot off, they shut off whoo de la la has origin

I'll translate.

If you study history, you will know that the sacred

land

is honorable

and beloved to Allah Subhana Allah that Allah azza wa jal will not allow

corrupts

people

to rule it, and to dominate forever,

that they will never find peace

and that it would take people who are true servants of Allah subhanho wa taala.

People who subjugate their passion to none except Allah subhanaw taala

so the month of Ramadan is an opportunity for you and I to become true servants of Allah azza wa jal because Allah in the Quran said

to binary Suraj is that when you become corrupt, we will send upon you my our own servants, it dies Atlanta, our servants.

So the month of Ramadan is a chance for you and I to renew that commitment of a booty to Allah Subhana Allah to Allah so that we can qualify to be

the people that Allah azza wa jal promised and Allah azza wa jal made all kinds of promises to the believers in the month of Ramadan, insha Allah to Allah, my series every night will be about the promises of Allah Azza wa taala.

Because we need to be reminded of it.

And what this should do my dear brothers and sisters in spite of whatever we're going through, we should always be hopeful and believe in the promise of Allah Subhana Allah to Allah and know that victory eventually will be handed to the true servants of Allah azza wa jal and remember that when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in the Sahaba were under siege, whether it's good, or during the Battle of the Trench, or under the worst circumstances, the Prophet SAW Selim always gave glad tidings to the Sahaba and Allah azza wa jal showed the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, the future and what Allah azza wa jal had promised him, no one had those who were second guessing them,

those who are doubting them, those who are mocking them, those who are laughing, those who were abusing them. None of them thought that in less than 100 years, that the Muslim armies are going to be at the border of Paris.

No one but the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam and the believers around him knew

You

know?

So, remember all believers, that our job is to do whatever is within our capacity.

And right now what is within our capacity is to become true servants of Allah subhanaw taala help in whatever capacity we can are brothers and sisters and turn to do something that no one can take away from you. And do not belittle or underestimate the power of in this particular community. We should know the power of we should just have experienced something I gave you an example this morning after fajr May Allah subhanaw taala continue to cure and continue to grant she fat to all of our community members who are suffering from any ailment, especially in specifically I pray for Murad Han May Allah subhanaw taala continue to bless him and give him recovery. If anyone wants to really just be

reminded of the power of look at his case, and shot with and we ask a lot of you just to continue to bless him and to continue to

you know, give him full, full and speedy recovery and bring him and his parents back to our myths insha Allah Huhtala as you as you Allahumma Surah Conan and will see me and also by feeling that he has to feel asleep Allah whom I love will not run with Hara Jiang Paraiba, wa Jalla if you know Swati him nos Eva Allahu Malik can remember or other Muslim in Allahumma la Capitola you will get better in Allah who may in anaerobic if you know what I mean, when we're when we're either Muslim either becoming shorter him Allah who was eliminated Ramadan was celibate Ramadan Allah Allah, Allah who may have a younger hermetic history as the Helena shenana kula will attack in fusina tophatter I

Salam Wani kumara hematoma law Sadam Ali kumara many more

Salam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato. Are you on the f1 Mysuru DISA has a cm to be to be a near one of the conditions for the fasting to be accepted is that you have your intention to fast the day any day of from the month of Ramadan from the night before. So please you know, watch out inshallah to Allah. Sunday night, maybe the first night of Ramadan Sunday night maybe the first night of Ramadan, so stay tuned, inshallah to Allah. If there is a confirmed sighting Inshallah, that means we are going to have totally on Sunday night and Monday will be the first day of Ramadan. There is no confirmed sighting of the moon anywhere in the world.

Old then Monday will be the 30th of Shaban and Monday night will be the first night of taraweeh here at MIT inshallah Tada so look out, but it's very important just to stay to be

to remain tuned to show methodical semi

psycho come. So a few things Ramadan related inshallah one is the feed a family program that we always do every month during Ramadan. If lately you can put the slide up there but if not, what we asked the community to is that when you're going to try to feed local families in the community, and it's $300 per month for the whole month of Ramadan to feed a family. You can do that through the kiosks outside, you can bring a check to the office, you can do it online inshallah. But you're able to feed a family for $300 hamdulillah we've been able to cover almost 120 families but there's still about 300 families that need your help. So inshallah if you're able to you don't have to do the full

sponsorship, you can do a partial sponsorship and give it back to the community you live in inshallah. Tonight there are two events there's a missed info session for all high schoolers. So if you're interested in going to miss Nashville this year for the tournament, that meeting is mandatory it's going to be after maghrib in the NYC community room so come out to that and then after I show we have the last healthy living before Ramadan with a focus on Ramadan inshallah about the spiritual and health benefits of the month with Chef Sookie and doctors the man says I'll be right after Isha. And then tomorrow we have Ramadan cleanup. So from 10am to 2pm We'll be cleaning the masjid

preparing it for Ramadan. If you weren't able to attend last week, you will be able to attend tomorrow. I'm Charlotte. So bring your family your friends make it a Saturday event for you. And we'll be going from 10am to 2pm 2pm. And then lastly, there's emergency medical response training also happening tomorrow from 10am to 5pm. So if you're an organizer, a volunteer staff for different organizations masajid here at NYC or elsewhere, or if you're a regular regular community member that wants to learn these things and be able to be on your feet when situations happen that will be going on tomorrow from 10am to 5pm Zach
