AI: Summary ©
We start off by praising Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala, the one who is worthy of all
of our praise and our gratitude is Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, who gives us these blessed
moments
to redirect ourselves to him.
It's Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala who has given
us who has given us a month Ramadan
and from the month Ramadan,
these final 10 days
to cleanse our hearts
and rejuvenate our hearts in his remembrance.
We then some peace and blessing upon the
prophets of Allah, the
one that was sent
as a mercy to mankind, as a mercy
to the world,
but how to perfect every aspect of our
lives. We send peace and blessing upon the
companions of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
and his family members, those who helped him
aiding him, Ahmedabad, thereafter.
In the Quran, Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala in
Surah Hadidi.
He says,
In this one ayah,
Allah subhanahu takes our lives
and
captures
all 60,
70 years in one eye.
He says,
verily the life of this world is a
few stages. Every single one of us
goes through these different stages.
It starts off at a young age.
The first stage
and the unique thing about this is that
when you progress from one stage to another
stage,
the same thought comes to your mind.
Based as the first stage is
of lieb. Lieb is that kind of play
which is meaningless.
A young child sits with his toy, presses
the button, the toy pops out, the child
laughs and pushes it back again, and repeat,
and repeat
and repeat. There's no meaning to it.
But then when this child becomes
5, 6, 7, 8 years old,
they go into the second stage and laws
of hand does says,
this type of play, it has some meaning
to it.
He understands
what a basketball is.
And he thinks, okay,
If I play, then one day I will
play for my middle school, and one day
I'll play for my high school, and I
may be the 1st Muslim brown, you know,
Indian Pakistani
in the NBA.
But this type of play, there's meaning to
it. There's reason behind it. And if you
tell somebody in this second stage,
go and,
you know, sit with your brother or your
sister who's in the first stage that plays
meaningless play, they will say, no way.
That's a waste of time.
And every stage that you go to, you
look back at the previous one with the
same mindset, that's a waste of time. What
I'm doing right now, this is what matters.
Schooler,
that type of play is everything. You ask
them how's life, and they will say, life
is good in
my streaming and
my,
you know, my games
top, that type of play, their Twitch
is meaningful.
But a time comes
where they're now going to high school
subhanahu says, this was the first two stages.
Then he go then Allah subhanahu
says, the next stage is
about Zena, beautification.
This person now will spend hours in the
gym
just so the chest sticks out a little
bit more.
Just so the guns pop.
They go online and they watch tutorials
of how many many different ways there are
to tie a hijab,
how to get ready with somebody else, how
to put on makeup.
They will stand in front of the mirror
ask this person, how about you go and
play some video games and they say, no,
That's a waste.
That's a waste of time right now. It's
all about
looking the part and being
the center of attention.
A law of wonder says, but that stage
is for a short period of time as
well. Then
this person
enters their 20s and maybe 30s and a
law of wonder says at that point,
competition.
What cars you drive?
What neighborhood do they live?
Where did they go for vacation? It's about
competition.
You're now
keeping up with the Hussain's.
You're keeping up with the Frisco standards.
You know, if I pull into the parking
lot and my car is not
like everybody else's. If I don't drive a
Tesla in Frisco, then there's a problem.
It's all about.
When you have a wedding now, it's about
which hall are you booking.
If you're gonna invite people over for Eid,
then what's for food?
You have Iftar,
what's the menu like?
It's all about And
this tells us that this then drops down
within our children as well, that we compete
with our children.
And we're often saying to our children, but
that
his son got better grades and his her
daughter went into so and so school. They
got a mission here. Why are you at
Collins?
Why are you at UTD?
But the last
one that says, The law of wonder says,
then
this person goes into
the final stage,
where
their hair starts to become white, their bones
become weak,
weak,
and they no longer care about what other
people are doing. All they care about is,
having
having their children close
by and putting some sort of price tag
on their life.
What do I have to show for my
life now?
50 years, 60 years, 70 years, are my
children around me? This person will now call
their children multiple times today. Berta, Berta, Berta,
Berta.
At one time, they didn't have time for
Berta, but now, they're calling multiple times. Why?
Because I need meaning for my life.
And everything that you're chasing after in these
stages, where you think this is the purpose
of my life,
the focus
of my life,
Allah Subhanahu says, a day will come where
all of this will be meaningless.
And
so it's your
wealth
and your children, which you accumulate
to show meaning
to your life,
it'll be of no benefit.
Except for the person
who comes to
Allah
with a sound heart.
Now a sound heart,
in the month of Ramadan, if you think
about it,
the complete focus of the month of Ramadan
is right here.
Purpose of fasting and the purpose of fasting
every by every reminder we're told. So that
you gain you gain piety, you
gain God consciousness.
Sitting with the companions and he says, he
taps on his chest and he says, is
right here in your heart.
Subhanahu tells us, there are those people
whose hearts are dead.
Maintain it, it will slowly, slowly give away.
Like your car at home, like your house,
anything. If you do not maintain it,
what
will happen? It will slowly tether away.
Put upon their heart.
Becomes a cluster,
and this cluster solely becomes a cancer, and
this cancer completely overtakes their heart to a
point.
Allah subhanahu
wa'anhu
says,
but they have a seal on their heart
that now they won't understand.
In another place in the Quran, Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala says, it's not their eyes that
become blind, but it's their hearts
that become
blind.
This rust on our hearts
solely, solely
depletes us from any type of spirituality.
It's the prophet sallallahu is saying prophet sallallahu
is saying to us, when you have
an excess of sin,
naturally,
your will
be
at its low.
You won't feel like worshiping.
Come into the masjid or reading Quran or
anything about Islam.
And we all have those ups and downs.
But then Allah Subhanahu gives us the month
of Ramadan.
And the purpose of Ramadan is
to revive our hearts.
It's not about our body.
It's not about
our stomachs
or what goes in our mouths,
But it's about the condition of our hearts,
and if in this month of Ramadan, if
you look at the condition of your heart
and you ask yourself,
is my heart sound?
If I meet Allah
tomorrow
and I'm told,
the only way the condition, the prerequisite
of your wealth, of your children being a
benefit is that you have a sound heart.
Can I say to Allah that my heart
is sound?
Because in one hadith of prophet, salallahu alaihi
wa sallam tells us,
He says, in the body there is a
piece of meat.
If this is right,
this is the head, the engine,
the nerve center.
This is what matters.
The whole body will be fine.
But
if it goes bad,
the whole body falls suit.
If this piece of meat
is good, then your body wants to obey
Allah
But if this piece of meat goes bad,
then your body is inclined to disobeying Allah
And the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam then
says,
That piece of meat
is your heart.
And this takes constant
monitoring
and constant checking up and
reflecting on the state of your heart. Imam
Ghazali
says that for a heart to disconnect from
Allah, what stops a heart from connecting to
Allah
He says there are 5 things.
But he's talking about an adult who acts
like a child.
Who's heart
is still connected to the wrongs.
And you say that
draw
up
prepare your heart for a loss.
He says, a heart number 2, a heart
that doesn't seek guidance.
It's distracted
from a loss.
It's like a little
child.
Law subhanahu wa ta'ala with this dunya.
Their heart is entertained for a short period
of
time.
Of
time.
Go towards the dunya with your back to
it.
And go towards the
facing it. Why? Because
both of them have people that are dedicated
to it. There are people that are dedicated
to dunya, and there are people that are
dedicated to here after. Don't get distracted
and divert your heart
just number 3.
A heart that
is completely unaware of a law.
Who hasn't even tried,
searching for a law,
who hasn't been connected to a loss
yet. And a lot of times, this is
us.
And he says the solution to that is
follow the straight path. Look for guidance.
One that is dirty
from sin.
And these comes to mind that we mentioned
before, that those dots are put.
But now,
the month in Ramadan comes to cleanse your
heart. The
to cleanse
your heart.
The other day in the,
she was
saying that the word Ramadan, Ramadan comes from
the word of scorching hot,
burning.
And Scholar say that Ramzan gets this name
because
that's the scorching hot heat your heart needs
to burn away that.
Says,
the 5th thing that blocks a person's heart
from connecting to a lost of Hanukkah
is a veil.
The veil of this dunya.
There's
a hijab
and say, what you have to do is
lift the hijab,
open your eyes, and connect your heart to
Allah
Understanding
the laws
in the Quran tells us
Where your hearts are gonna find peace and
where your hearts are gonna be revived
is with the remembrance of Allah.
A lot of times people ask that, how
do we maintain
Ramadan after Ramadan is gone? What's our exit
plan?
And a good way to maintain Ramzan
is to remember the feeling you have right
now in your heart.
Content, the feeling of content, the feeling of
content, the feeling of content, the feeling of
content, the feeling of content, the feeling of
content, the feeling of accomplishment, today, alhamdulillah, you
prayed all 5 of your salah, you came
for, you visited the masjid, you did good
in your life, and you feel a
sobriety.
You have this feeling that today I
accomplished
what will help you maintain Ramadan. Here, Allah
says, that when your heart
finds contentment,
it's because
you remember Allah
And that's the only place that your heart
will find contentment. If you look for it
anywhere else,
and this is our problem,
we try to find peace in the wrong
places.
If you went to a grocery store trying
to buy a car, they will look at
you as if you're crazy.
And if you went to a car dealership
trying to buy a gallon of milk,
they probably kick you out.
You and I are looking for content.
You and I are looking for peace. You
and I are looking for tranquility of our
hearts in the wrong place.
Whether it's in our wealth, whether it's in
our career, whether it's in entertainment, whether it's
in social media, popularity,
you have to draw a story.
That's not where you find
peace of heart. That's not where you will
revive your heart. And until you don't come
to the right place,
and the right place is in the house
of a loss of a loss of a
right here
is a heart hospital.
This right here is where hearts come to
life.
Every day here, open heart surgery happens.
Every day here, a person's heart is revived
and reconnected to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
So at the end of month of Ramadan,
you look at your heart and you ask
yourself the question,
what is the state of my heart?
And if my heart is not connected to
Allah, then how will I meet Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala? And if I have a seal
on my heart, and if my heart is
blind, then it's time
to wake up.
It's time to revive my heart.
In the in the hadith narrated by Imam
Ahmed Raqqari,
the prophet salallahu alaihi wasalam said, that if
you would like to soften
your heart,
if you would like to work on your
heart,
the way that every part of our body
sometimes can be deceased, the heart has its
own diseases.
But if you like to soften your heart,
there was Allah says
2 things.
Number 1,
feed the poor.
In other hadees, it says
that, if you want to find me, if
you're looking for me,
you will find me
with the
and then the pops of law where someone
says,
orp.
And
with these acts and acts like
this,
connecting yourself with the Quran, connecting yourself with
the house of Allah,
your hearts will be revived. Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala in the Quran,
while he orders us and informs us, he
says,
Oh, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, we ask for
your mercy upon the Muslim Ummah. Oh, Allah
we ask that you help the Muslim Ummah
wherever they may be. Oh, Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala, we ask that you help our Muslim
brothers and sisters in Palestine. Oh, Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala, we ask that you change their
condition. Oh, Allah Subhanahu wa'ala, they do not
have food, so feed them. Oh, Allah Subhanahu
wa'ala,
they do not have anybody to stand up
for them. Oh, Allah Subhanahu wa'ala, you are
the one
who watches over us. You are the giver
of peace, oh, Allah. SubhanAllah. We ask you
to give them peace. Oh, Allah. SubhanAllah.
The day of Eid is just 3 days
away. Oh, Allah. We ask that you give
our brothers and sisters
the happiness
on the day of Eid in Palestine.
Oh, Allah subhanahu wa'ala let them celebrate
this day. Oh, Allah subhanahu wa'ala our celebration
will be incomplete. Our celebration
will be empty and hollow without their celebration.
Oh, Allah subhanahu wa'ala give them victory. Oh,
will Allah give them respite. Oh, will Allah
be there for them. Oh, will Allah in
this month of Ramadan any actions that we
have done that is pleasing to you, oh,
Allah, we ask that you accept it. Oh,
Allah, we ask that you accept our fasting,
you know, you accept our qiyam, that you
accept our that you accept
our that you accept our charity, that you
accept our reading of the Quran. Oh, Allah,
we come to you broken. Oh, Allah,
but you are the turner of hearts. Oh,
Allah, we ask that you turn our hearts.
Oh, Allah, we ask that you turn our
hearts. Make
Iman
beloved
to
us
and
beautify
in
our
hearts.
Oh,
Allah,
make
kufar
and
disobedient.
Oh, Allah, do not let us go back
to our sins. Oh, Allah, do not let
us go back to our old habits. Oh,
Allah, we cannot afford to be the same
people that we were 30 days ago. Oh,
Allah, let this month of Ramadan be a
month that we change ourselves,
hearts, that we change our spirituality,
that we change
our. Oh, Allah,
we ask that you forgive our sins. Oh,
Allah, we ask that you overlook our shortcomings.
Oh, Allah, we ask that you pardon our
mistakes. Oh, Allah, we seek protection from the
fire of jahannam. Oh, Allah subhanahu when the
shaitaan is released in a few days. Oh,
Allah. We ask that you protect us from
it. Oh, Allah subhanahu. The way that we
have called out your name
in the month of Ramadan, make us people
that call out your name outside the month
of Ramadan. Oh, Allah. Because we called out
your name in this dunya, we ask that
you call out our name in the paradise.
Oh, Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. Let every Sajdah
of ours
come to your arsh. Oh, Allah. Let every
dua of ours go straight to your throne.
Oh, Allah,
we ask for agenda and actions that bring
us close to Jannah. Oh, Allah, we seek
protection in the fire of Jahannam. Oh, Allah,
we
do everything in our struggle that we've been
through this past month. It's just so that
you can be pleased with us. Oh, Allah.
Be pleased with us.
Oh, Allah. Be pleased with us.
