my dear beloved, brothers and sisters, we start by praising
Allah subhanho wa Taala and sending the best of peace and
blessings upon our noble Prophet Muhammad Allah is Salatu was
Salam.
And I remind myself and yourselves to fear Allah subhana wa Taala the
way he should be feared, as Allah subhana wa Taala called us to this
in the Noble Quran. When he said, Are you who believe fear Allah the
way he should be feared, and do not die except in the state of
submission to Him? We ask Allah subhana wa Taala to die in the
state. I mean, you're blind I mean.
After last week's hotbar
I spoke about
how Ramadan can be wasted before even comes
and Ramadan. In summary, we said to summarize the whole hotbar so I
can make it an introduction for today's
wasting Ramadan before it even comes, is by lacking.
A plan for Ramadan
is by not preparing for Ramadan
is by not overcoming certain addictions before Ramadan is by
not adjusting our schedules before Ramadan is by not changing our
food and eating habits before Ramadan
is by not reaching out to our families, our friends, our
relatives people that deserve our Wasson that we need to reach out
to like our parents or uncle's or aunts, our siblings, right we need
to do all of this before Ramadan because we cannot afford to waste
a single day of this holy month of Ramadan. This month have mercy and
forgiveness. We cannot enter Ramadan and the first day is
filled with migraines and headaches because we're food
deprived because we cannot have coffee or tea because we didn't
adjust our sleep schedules before it we cannot afford afford this
Ramadan we have to be ready to perform ready to worship, ready to
show Allah the best of us to show Allah Subhana Allah to Allah that
we are worthy of his Rama so that perhaps we might be written from
those who are Otakar those who Allah had written to be from the
Hellfire but Allah chooses to put with his words with his mercy into
Janet and for those panela into Jana
in Ramadan. So in order for us to be worthy of this, we need to show
Allah the best of us and we can only show Allah the best of us
with a proper plan.
So today's football, this was the summary of last week. You can go
back to it for reference. But today's hotbar is about reform.
Ramadan is a month of reflection upon the past and reform. We plan
to change certain things in our life. We plan to change certain
bad habits. We plan to subdue, we plan to turn away from everything
that this will be is Allah subhanaw taala turn our backs to
it and go and approach Allah subhanaw taala with a pure heart.
If anyone wants to make a change in their life, it is the month of
Ramadan.
These months that we are in right now, Rajab and Shaban.
They also have significance like in Rajasthan Shaban, we have a
list of our marriage, which is one of the greatest things that
happened to Muhammad Sallallahu wasallam. But also, in this month,
something very interesting happened in the history of Islam.
And that is this change of the Qibla
the changing of the Qibla.
And I'd like to reflect on a small story, just a short story.
Something that happened after the Qibla changed
during the month of shahada and obviously
the Qibla changed it was towards the Masjid Al Aqsa
in Al Quds, and then it switched to Al Masjid Al haram in Mecca. To
recap, and when this happened, the Sahaba not the Allah who
approached the prophets Isola and they told him you know, Rasul
Allah, look at their concern. Yada sunnah Allah.
We inshallah can change the Qibla but what about the Sahaba is that
died before us that never prayed because Salah was not an
obligation when they died. They believed in Allah. They believed
in Mohammed Salah Salem, they believed in jaaneman Na, but they
didn't know that they should be praying.
And what about the Sahaba that prayed their whole life towards
the Masjid Al Aqsa?
And they didn't hear this verse, look at their concern.
But Allah subhanaw taala was his divine wisdom, decreed for this to
happen before Ramadan. So this verse can come down Allah Subhana
Allah Allah revealed the verse to the heart of the prophets I seldom
inst as soon as they said this, he said, one that can Allah Who Lilia
Eman Womack can Allahu Lille, Dr Eman accom. And Allah was not and
will not lose your Eman. Allah will not let your faith be in
vain. Allah will not let your actions be for nothing. Whatever
you did, well now if I am in hiding for now you Kuru whatever
you do from good, you will never be deprived of it because you did
it sincerely for Allah.
And I'm saying this
because when we reflect on this happening before Ramadan, there
has to be a significance in the revelation of this verse. It
didn't come down this time out of coincidence No, it came down
because Ramadan is the month where people approach it and they say is
this Ramadan going to be different?
And they go through a spiritual dilemma where they tell themselves
and a lot of people we all go through this one we say this
Ramadan is going to be different. I hear the show. He tells me okay,
do good. Pray. Okay, start praying fast. Okay, start fasting, open
the Quran I start opening you know, I opened the Quran, but I
don't feel it.
I don't get better. I'm the same person.
As a matter of fact,
the shirt is telling us Ramadan Ramadan, but what I'm waiting for
his aid. I'm waiting for Ramadan to finish.
If that's our state of mind, then there's a big problem.
We should be waiting for Ramadan more than we should be waiting for
it. That's a huge issue.
And this is the problem, the spiritual dilemma that all of us
go through before Ramadan is that we do not think or sometimes we do
not feel like we are going to meet it the way we should. And we're
not going to benefit from it the way we want to benefit from it.
But we should never let this get to our hearts.
We should never
feel like
there is no hope, or fall into despair from the mercy of Allah or
feel like we will never improve.
We need to keep trying and trying and trying until we get better. We
need to show Allah that Allah, although I tried and I failed, and
I tried and I failed and Ramadan has passed. And before this, I
fasted many Ramadan's. And I never, I always fell back on my
heels. I didn't do what I wanted to do. But yeah, Allah, I'm not
going to give up, I'm going to show you the best of me Allah.
Allah will not let our Eman go in vain. When that can Allah Julio
via e manacle. But at the same time shaitan has another trick,
because there's two poles to the tricks of shaitaan. One is to fall
into despair, and think that there's no hope so that you do not
do anything for Allah.
And then the other trick of shaitaan is to feel content with
your actions, not content with the decree of Allah, because that's
good to be pleased with the river. You know, to be pleased with the
decree is one thing, but to be pleased with your performance, to
be completely content with the actions and the deeds you did to
say like I'm gonna learn fast, and I pray and Allah How could I read
the Quran 710 times that Ramadan, and I do Hamdulillah you know, I'm
good. There is also a trick of shaitaan that's just as bad as the
first shaitaan once both of us will either one or the other. If
she thought sees willpower and drive, he's going to let you fall
into the other, which is being happy with yourself, contempt with
your own actions. And if shaytaan sees that you lack drive and
willpower, he's gonna want you to give up and fall into despair and
lose hope in Allah and His mercy.
And they're both tricks of shaitan.
But we need to know,
like the verse that was revealed in this blessed month of Shaban
before the blessing of the holy month of Ramadan, when I can
Allahu Lille di Manickam Allah will never lose your Eman.
Whatever you do for him, will never be in vain.
In Allahu Allah, you will be agile Rahman Aksana, Allah, Allah will
never lose the actions of those who did righteous deeds, they will
never be in vain.
But some may say, Well, I try. And I come and I hear I hear from
people who come to me and tell me, you're probably like, young, you
know, I try but Ramadan is just, I never feel it. It's not in my
heart. You're saying it? Yeah, it's supposed to be that way. But
I don't feel it. It comes and goes, it doesn't increase me and
anything.
You need to go through this in order to extract the sickness from
your heart. Yeah, one.
And we can relate to a typical like, like the surgery that a
surgeon performs in a hospital, when
the surgeon extracts what can cancerous cells from inside the
body.
The first thing they have to do is cut through skin and flush, that's
perfectly fine.
The skin in the flesh they cut through in the beginning is good
they have there is no problem in it, but they have to damage it.
And they have to get through it. So they can get to the sickness
and extract it.
We need to get through it ourselves. We need to perform and
to show Allah that your Allah will not give up. And when Allah sees
his determination, in our in our actions, when Allah sees our
willpower, when Allah sees the drive that we have, then perhaps
Allah may enter this Iman that we longed for, for very long. That we
wanted we strive for, we're dedicated. We went through Allah
with normal days, normal times. We did things without feeling that
connection, but it pays off at the end. Get one. Yeah, Howard, it
will pay off. When Allah sees that you washed your inside with enough
actions, then Allah subhana wa Taala will bring you to him.
Allah will take your hand, and we'll take you to him and we'll
come to you the same way you came to him and will approach you the
same way you approached him and we'll give you the same way
You gave for his sake. We ask Allah Subhana Allah Allah to show
us the straight path. We ask Allah to forgive us and have mercy on
us. We ask Allah subhana wa Tala to take our hearts in this blessed
month of Ramadan, and this Ramadan that we're approaching and cleanse
our hearts from hypocrisy. cleanse our hearts from deceit. cleanse
our hearts from oppression, cleanse our hearts from anything
that displeases Him subhanho wa Taala Akuto master mountain while
stuff with Allah and He will come for stuff.

man.
My dear beloved brothers and sisters, I remind myself and
yourselves to fear Allah subhanho wa Taala approaching this holy
month
and I remind myself and yourselves to begin preparing if we did not
already, because it is already late to start preparing for
Ramadan.
Right now, Ramadan is about two weeks away, it's already late.
Right now.
We need to pick up our sleeves. And we need to get ready to
approach this month with a plan. We need to show Allah subhanho wa
Taala that we are determined to please Him. We want to learn his
word. It is not too late to change. It is never too late. We
should never fall into despair from the mercy of Allah no matter
what we did in the past. Because the same way.
We were heedless in the past. One moment of awakening.
One moment a spark in the mind or in the heart of a believer is
enough to extinguish the darkness of the heedlessness that happened
in the past. Everything that we forgot all that bad deeds that we
did. All the rights of people that we neglected everything can
disappear with a moment of reform, with a moment of return to Allah
with a moment of true submission to Him.
True submission to Him, not fake submission. Tron.
When I say reform, I do not mean tilba
tilba is but a single step in the process of reform. Toba is like
apologizing for a mistake. Reform is never making the mistake again.
Reform is committing with a plan to never ever fall into that same
mistake again. Although we do mistakes, but we learn from them
and we don't fall in the same ones. Can we make other mistakes?
Yes, but as long as we fall into different mistakes
and we continue to ask Allah for forgiveness and we continue to
fulfill our covenants with Allah by reforming our ways and turning
to Him then we are good inshallah. And this is what this Ramadan
should be. Today, we need to commit to Allah subhanaw taala and
make this blessed month of Ramadan unlike any Ramadan we met before.
Unlike any Ramadan, we entered this Ramadan, we will enter it
with a plan this Ramadan, we will not fix our sleep schedules brush
up on our Arabic
get rid of certain addictions, certain bad habits on the first
day of Ramadan. No, we are going to do them today. So in Ramadan,
we're using the time wisely. We enter the month and we exit the
month maximizing the edger the reward that we can attain in this
blessed month, because perhaps Allah may bestow His forgiveness
on us and exit us from the hellfire and right from for us to
be from the people of Ghana. We ask Allah to make us from the
people of Ghana. We ask Allah to forgive us to have mercy on us to
show us a straight path to guide us to guide our families, to guide
our children, to guide our spouses to guide our parents and our
grandparents. We ask Allah subhanaw taala to unite us with
all of them in general for those we ask Allah to show us the
straight path. We ask Allah subhanaw taala to uplift the
situation of the OMA the Ummah that is suffering all over the
world, starting from China all the way to Yemen.
unto Morocco, and everything in between, we ask Allah subhanaw
taala to uplift the hardships from this ummah, we ask Allah subhanho
wa Taala to unite us in his blood gathering in the Masjid Al Oxon
Mbarara. We ask Allah subhanaw taala to allow us to live the time
where we see a Masjid Al Aqsa, free from the hands of occupation.
We ask Allah subhanaw taala to forgive us, we ask Allah subhanaw
taala to show us the straight path, we ask Allah subhana wa ala
to unite the Ummah on Kalamata Tauheed La Ilaha illa Allah,
