All praise is due to Allah we praise Him, we seek his aid and we ask for his forgiveness. We seek refuge in Allah from the evils of ourselves and the evil consequences of our actions. Whomsoever Allah guides done can lead astray and whomsoever Allah leaves to go astray, non non kin guide, I testify that there is none worthy of worship. None is worthy of our ultimate love and devotion, but Allah alone, and I testify that Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa ala he was telling him is his servant, and His Messenger or you who believe, fear Allah as you should be feared, and I not except in a state of submission, as Muslims, all mankind be dutiful to your Lord, Who created you from a single

person. And from him he created his wife and from them both you created many men and women, and fear Allah through whom you demand your mutual rights and observe the rights of your kin. Surely Allah is Ever and all watched over you are you who believe, keep your duty to Allah, fear him and speak the truth. He will direct you to righteous deeds and will forgive your sins. And whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger has indeed attained a great achievement. The best words are the words of Allah. And the best guidance is the guidance of Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa aalihi wa salam. And the worst things in the religion are the newly invented matters. For all the newly invented message matters in

religion are an innovation and bidder and every bidder is misguidance.

All praise is due to Allah subhanaw taala who allowed us to live the month of Ramadan to fast and pray recite the Quran and do that. And this is such a great blessing from Allah subhanaw taala that we should be grateful for, and we should be mindful of, we should be appreciative of and the best way to be thankful to Allah is to remain steadfast. The Lord of the month of Ramadan is the Lord of all the months throughout the year. He is Allah subhanho wa taala.

And our relationship with Allah subhanaw taala is not limited to a specific time, a specific month, or a specific time of the day or the night. Our relationship with Allah subhanaw taala is all about him. And that is the deepest part of who we are as believers, Allah made Islam an integral part of the central part of our being. And that's our fitrah the way Allah designed us the way the way Allah Subhana Allah created us our basic element is belief in Allah. Our basic element is love of Allah. And this is something that is not limited to any specific time or any season. It is the very essence of who we are. And we are supposed to be true to it. And it doesn't make any sense that we worship

Allah during the month of Ramadan, and that we increase in devotion. And when the month of Ramadan is over, we change our ways. And we disconnect from Allah subhanaw taala either completely or even partly, we're supposed to be with Allah subhanaw taala completely we're supposed to be thankful for this wonderful gift of the Quran, of the wonderful gift of Ramadan itself. And the way we ungrateful is by remaining steadfast. We show that gratitude in our attitude, we show it in our steadfastness, consistency in worshipping Allah subhanaw taala. And knowing that does not continue their devotion to Allah does not continue their worship, they're actually jeopardizing what they have achieved in

Ramadan. And Allah subhanaw taala says in the Quran, he warns against us, undoing the good that we have done in our lives. He says what ethical no can let you know about the Hustla harm, embed your call within and gather. Do not be like the one who has boats who has brought some threads together in the form of fabric and then went to undo it. Went to destroy it. We're not supposed to do that. We don't want to sabotage what we have already achieved in the month of Ramadan. We are supposed to be grateful and thankful. And there is one thing that keeps us steadfast. There is one thing that keeps us consistent

in worshipping Allah subhanaw taala remembering that Ramadan is not just the hype, and the seasons of worship are not just about transient feelings, or about fleeting emotions.

The month of Ramadan is about fulfilling and

expressing our love of Allah, our belief in Allah, our devotion to Allah subhanaw taala. This is what the month of Ramadan is about. And this transcends the month of Ramadan, this extends to everything else. So our essence is this love of Allah, and this belief in Him. And we are supposed to be true to that. And what shows and what demonstrate that this is the essence of us is that the strongest relationships that we Muslims and we believers have is the relationship of faith. Those who believe in Allah, those who believe in the truth, those who devote themselves for the sake of the truth, and they decide to live the truth in their life. These are the ones that are closest to

us more than our blood relationships. These are our brothers and sisters. Why? Because the reality of the human being is their souls and their hearts. The reality of who we are is the soul and the heart. And the ones who are closest to us. The ones that are the ones that are closest to us in our faith and our belief in the state of our hearts, and embracing the truth are the ones that are truly closest to us.

But the flesh and the blood is just a vessel is just the vehicle in which we live in this world. Our essence is the spiritual connection is that relationship that is based in the heart.

And so thus it actually shapes our lives. It shapes the relationships, it defines our lives, it defines who we are. And this is something we are supposed to be we're supposed to remain true to. When it comes to persons, when it comes to ideologies, when it comes to races, when it comes to people, when it comes to principles, when it comes to times when it comes to practices when it comes to ways of life. When it comes to cultures.

Everything that is in line with the truth, we embrace it, we align with it.

And we identify with it

and it becomes our ally. It becomes the the ones that we that we connect ourselves with.

Why? Because it aligns itself with Allah subhanho wa Taala anything that goes against the truth, anything that goes against the the truth of morality and the beautiful principles from Allah subhanho wa taala. Automatically, they have antagonized us against them, not in the sense that we are going to do injustice, not in the sense that we are going to commit atrocities, but in the sense that this thing has put itself opposite to the truth. And as a believer, the only alignment that we have, the only connection that we have is that with the truth is that with goodness, because truth is good by definition.

And that's why Allah subhanaw taala is good himself in Allaha Yebo lyac But Allah yerba, the prophets of salaam says Allah is good, and he only accept that which is good. So principles like the truth, like good, are synonymous.

And they are synonymous with the reality and the essence of humans we are designed according to that our Phaedra is the truth Allah says in the Quran, for at the module, Caledonia Hanifa footrot Allah He lucky fatahna Salah yah that Abdullah,

erect your face erect, erect the truth of who you are, your whole manner, erected and align it with the straight forward religion, the only straight path, the only true way of living.

This is the fitrah the natural way according to the natural design, according to which Allah subhanaw taala designed, designed humans. So the truth is who we are, in essence, what is good is who we are, in essence, that's who we are humans. So we have this affinity, we have this brotherhood with the truth, we are of the same essence, in reality in the deepest recesses of who we are.

But what happens in life, we start to migrate from that, we start to depart from that and get further away from it. And what the way the reason Allah Subhanallah sent Islam and the truth of Islam is to remind us of that truth that we are designed according to and we are supposed to come back to it. And when we come back to it, we recognize Allah, we know Allah, we align ourselves with Allah and with the commands and the words of Allah subhanaw taala. That's the reality of Islam. And that's the reason

Latif our relationship with Allah, and our relationship with every one who aligns themselves with the truth from Allah subhanaw taala anything, or anyone who aligns themselves and that align align themselves with that truth, automatically. We have this natural affinity to them, we have this natural brotherhood relationship wound relationship to them.

The only relationship with the womb, the most powerful that we have as human beings is that of the truth

before any blood relationship.

So anything that aligns itself away from that has automatically taken the opposite direction.

And has put itself in a position of in a position of opposition to the truth and automatically to us.

So over affinity is not about blood. It's not about race. It's not about color. It's not about language. It's not about a history. It's not about culture. It's not about

tendencies, and should preferences. It's not about that it's essentially about the truth. And this is not a departure from human nature. This is actually that's the real alignment with the essence of human nature and the truth of human nature. And that's a blessing from Allah that He designed us this way.

And this affinity, our affinity with worshipping Allah subhanaw taala. This is why he's not limited to Ramadan, because that's who we are. We don't become true to who we are only in Ramadan. But afterwards, in the rest of the months, we adopt or we assume another kind of identity or personality, that's not true.

That doesn't work.

So the farther we have come the closest possible to who we truly are closest to the truth in Ramadan, that means we have put ourselves in a very good position to be able to sustain that even after Ramadan. So that in sha Allah, if Allah gives us a long life, and we are able to come to witness another Ramadan, we can take this process to the next level. And we keep ascending in our approach in our journey to Allah subhanho wa taala. That's the point behind it.

So remember, we have this affinity to the truth, we have this affinity to Allah subhanaw taala because that's how we are designed any departure from that is alien to the humans. And what shaytan does, he takes us away from that nature. He strives to take us away from that nature. And the self is a system that is conducive either to good or to evil. Either to align itself with the truth, or to be taken away and kidnapped into another way that makes us estranged from ourselves takes us away from who we truly are. And that's what Islam was sent to fix. Allah says about the self, whenever sin Warmaster what have Allah Maha foodora How taqwa and Allah has made the self in the best way,

and the best fashion and design. And Allah gave it the capacity Allah gave it the tendency and the potential for good and for evil. The self is open, it's neutral.

Then Allah gave us a one nature.

That is good and Allah, Allah intensified that and Allah confirmed that with his revelation, and with his own guidance, and also with the support of the angels.

As the Prophet SAW Selim said in the Hadith,

in a little mela Killam, mutton, Alberni Adam Molly shaytani lemma that she the heart of the human being sometimes is influenced by an angel, but sometimes it's influenced by the devil.

So Allah so that's the nature that we want to hold on to not only in Ramadan because there's no difference between Ramadan and the rest of the months in terms of our alignment with the truth and our honesty and truthfulness towards Allah subhana wa Tada. This is something that is not supposed to change from month to month, or from time to time.

And that's the only way we can be true to ourselves and that's the only way we can be truly moral.

Otherwise if we don't align ourselves with that we become picky and choosey in terms of with which truth we embrace and which morality that we adhere to, it becomes a very selective

style but without any objective and without proper grounds for that.

It becomes merely a matter of influence other external influence or an internal influence from some kind of, of a of a tendency or a pro

reference. But the truth is impartial. The truth is objective is not subject to all of those different changes and different influences. The truth is The truth is absolutes. That's why morality is absolute. The truth is absolute doesn't change from country to country, from a culture to culture, from time to time, what is true is true.

And we are supposed to embrace that eternal truth. We're supposed to come and, and connect with this universal, transcendent truth and align ourselves with it.

That's what all the prophets and messages were sent for.

So the way we can remain steadfast after Ramadan is to realize that our relationship with Allah subhanaw taala is not seasonal. That's who we are.

It's not some kind of a temporary influence that we uphold for some month or for some time or for some days. And then we go back to what we call normal which is not normal.

The normal state of humans is to worship Allah subhanaw taala and align ourselves with him.

And all other affiliations, all other affinities, all other connections, or other profit preferences are actually alien to human nature. And they blemish and they distort the original purity that Allah designed humans again according to and our job in this life is to make the migration back to that purity that Allah put and instilled inside of us and made it our essence.

That's why we have for example, one of the Muslim scholars remember Nakayama Josie, Allah him Allah Tala want to hear he wrote a very beautiful book and he called it Berea College Latini. He called it the the two parts of the two avenues or the two lanes towards migration, the migration and what he means your migrate to your fitrah to your reality of the Photron he says there is two lanes that you're supposed to follow in that. And that's the way you align yourself with the love and devotion to Allah subhanaw taala. And the second lane is the example of the prophets of Allah, when you send them you make a migration, back to your heart back to your fitrah back to your pure nature, which is

going to teach you back in your path, the migration back to Allah and back to paradise. That's why Islam really is without, without making it complex.

So

it is gratitude that whatever we have achieved in Ramadan, that we remember we have done it for Allah, not for Ramadan.

And we have done it as an expression of our devotion and love of Allah. And that we are supposed to remain steadfast we're supposed to keep it. And we're supposed to express the yearning to Allah subhanaw taala throughout the year, by standing in his presence, and standing with humility, before him, bowing and prostrating before him seeking His mercy. Seeking His love, seeking His forgiveness, seeking His blessings

and seeking His acceptance

and fasting every now and then for the sake of Allah says Allah loves fasting. We fast for the sake of Allah, we volunteer to fast. And in the month of Chawan. We have this sunnah of fasting the six days and the prophets, Allah Salam said, Whoever first Ramadan, and six days of SHA one as if this person has fasted the whole year, it will be written for you as if you are fast, fast the full year.

And that's a great reward

from Allah Subhana Allah and it shows us a special reward not like any other fast.

But we do that again, because

it's a reminder that we don't only worship Allah and Ramadan, we worship Allah subhanaw taala throughout our life, because that's who we are.

And that's who we are supposed to be. And that's why we do it. So it's not seasonal. It's not dependent on circumstances, or on a hype here and there. It is who we are, it is what this life is about. It is why we are here on earth for

everything else is just a distraction. If it's not in line with this.

We don't want to take Islam as an extra coloring that we add an extra flavor or use that we add to to our lifestyle. Islam cannot be auxilary Islam cannot be on the shelf. Islam cannot be some kind of icing on the cake. Islam is the cake itself. That's what Islam is. It's what really matters. It's what this whole thing is about. Now everything else is consistent frills.

And, and the marginal stuff. That's what we're supposed that's how we're supposed to approach Islam.

We don't want to affiliate and connect ourselves to the things that don't really matter. Because if we do that we push Islam to the side. And again,

we want to, we want to realize, and live the fresh nature of Islam itself, which brings about its universality. Its natural, feel that it's real, it's really natural.

Without us contaminating it, with our own selfish desires, and preferences, and maybe our cultural

inclinations, and then with political engagement, and so on and so forth. Islam is available to everyone in their essence is available to everyone in the revelation that Allah subhanaw taala sent down and it's available because the whole universe speak about speaks about Allah and speaks about this truth and we are supposed to meet that truth and embrace it and engage with it.

We ask Allah subhanaw taala to accept from all of us and forgive all sins along with Phillimore and you know
