Mufti Menk – Boost #07 Only One Sin, Which Will You Drop This Month

			alaykum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh my brothers and sisters, I am here on the rooftop of a Masjid Al
haram in Makkah, Kurama
		

			and Subhan Allah who are blind, I mean, just contemplating and thinking about this wonderful month
of Ramadan
		

			and what it has in it for us,
		

			Blessings of Allah, the Mercy, the goodness, everything descending.
		

			All the good things from Allah, the sustenance and so much that Allah has blessed us with so from
this most blessed place on Earth. Masjid Al haram in muckety muck Kurama, the best of all the
massage.
		

			Here every single prayer that you read is multiplied, is multiplied 100,000 times, every single
prayer you read here is multiplied 100,000 times
		

			more than any other Masjid besides a masjid remember we
		

			and the masjid in
		

			Jerusalem, Philistine Masjid Al Aqsa.
		

			So, it's amazing how, when you're in a blessed place in a blessed month, it's really a gift of Allah
subhanho wa Taala it's really a gift of Allah subhanho wa Taala Allah Almighty make it easy for all
of us.
		

			sitting and thinking over the blessings of the month of Ramadan, the blessings of the place, the
blessings of the fever that I have, and the
		

			the bone aches and everything else that comes with it. And hamdulillahi rabbil Alameen I thank
Allah. And I always say that Allah subhanho wa Taala has his way of purifying us. Sometimes Allah
purifies us by the bad that people speak about us. They see so much of evil, as a means of Allah
cleansing us, they don't know you and it's not between you and them. Sometimes it's through
sickness, through hardship, through difficulty through calamity and so much more.
		

			That is all part of the gift of Allah Almighty.
		

			You know, this man, think of one sin, one sin that's really bugging you, that you need to get rid
of. Get rid of it. Be strong, give it up.
		

			Think of one thing that you have to give up.
		

			That would be a huge achievement for a man. And every we think of one thing
		

			and we we think of one thing
		

			and we gave it up for the sake of Allah, something were supposed to have given Allah He we would
achieve so
		

			Subhanallah something really amazing
		

			opportunities that unlike if someone is saying in the comments there that you have a slip No, I've
slipped but I'm not well at all. I'm just smiling because these are my brothers and sisters are
here.
		

			But to that having been said My beloved brothers and sisters are not well but Alhamdulillah thank
Allah.
		

			I chose to come and sit here beautiful tranquility of this lovely
		

			part of the masjid on the rooftop where people are actually making a laugh. It's a huge circle of
Allah Tala is the circumambulation of the karma. That happens mashallah, in an anti clockwise way.
		

			Yeah, so this Ramadan, I think it's important for us to
		

			look at it from the perspective of doing something that we're supposed to do and giving up something
we're supposed to be giving up. So today I want to talk about a sins sins that
		

			the sins that we are perhaps we need to get rid of free get rid of one at least one meanwhile,
		

			it would really be of great benefits.
		

			And if we had to pass say 10 romance
		

			and we gave up 10 cents, it would be amazing. It will be amazing. 10 major things that we need to
give up.
		

			You know, and you know what it is? And perhaps you can think of one big thing you need to do and do
it you're weak and you're not doing something you have to do when you're not doing it in a way you
have to do it come this is the time yella be strong and it's coleford Charla So, I thought I'd come
on for a few minutes to speak to you guys.
		

			I really wanted to
		

			do a beautiful recording from this rooftop
		

			in a proper manner, but I don't have the permission to actually do major recording here. So I won't
break the rules. But the minor recordings are permissible that which is just personal. And that
doesn't include any major backgrounds and so on. So I was just speaking to one of the guys hear you
authority, and he told me that, don't worry, you can just stick to whatever are allowed.
		

			So if you need fill me, you need permissions. Although this is technically it's not filming, it's
just a live session. Many people go online, but I think when you're sitting properly and you want to
put up your stand and so on, it becomes a bit hectic, so I'm holding it in my hand.
		

			And we're speaking to you Mashallah. I just want to say something amazing, you know,
		

			the facility that is here in Makkah, is absolutely stunning. It's amazing, you know, to cater for
millions of people, for every prayer is mind boggling. I was speaking to some of the policemen here,
and I was watching them as well, and they stand for hours and 1000s of them. Yesterday, I offered a
few of them ZamZam, and they said no, no, no, don't worry. And it was almost time to start the fast.
And they were just standing, standing, making sure that everything is right, no one does something
that they're not supposed to do. Because remember, there are people from different parts of the
world.
		

			And what happens is
		

			people are educated differently, so they may not understand restrictions on what to do and what not
to do. So it's something crazy.
		

			I didn't how much of sacrifice they make,
		

			in order to serve the people who are just coming to Rakhine Medina for Amara and visiting the
prophets, masjid and salaam to the Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu sallam.
		

			So we have to give credit where it's due, and promise you the facility as you land. In fact, even
before you land the visa into Saudi Arabia has been made so simple, so simple.
		

			And it's just amazing. Many people don't appreciate we're quick to say the negatives, but the
positives need to be acknowledged big time.
		

			And mashallah the Imams and the people who are here and the amount of
		

			money they spent, is absolutely
		

			mind boggling.
		

			Some might say, well, you know, the hotels are very expensive and things are very expensive. The
answer is look, if you would like a luxury place, you need to have money. But if you would like a
place within Mecca, it's not that luxury, or it's not that close, you will get a very cheap
accommodation, according to your budget, but it will be a little bit further away. No big deal. So
don't complain about it being $1,000 a night right next to the harem. In peak season, when there is
another place for $100 a night in as easier for example, which is a few kilometers away. So we
wanted always to be close, to be cheap. And to be luxurious. You can never have those three
		

			together, you got to sacrifice one of those three. For accommodation in Mecca or Medina, you can
never have three things together. You can't have cheap, luxurious and close to the masjid. You have
to sacrifice one of them. It can be cheap and luxurious, but distant from the masjid or it can be
luxurious and close to the masjid but expensive or it can be close to the masjid and cheap, but it
won't be luxurious at all.
		

			And it's limited. So you have to decide, you know, you can't have everything all in one. You can't.
And that's why I say when people say Oh, but it costs a lot. Well, it depends on how and what you'd
like to do.
		

			Also, it depends on when you've booked if you book early, well in advance, you get it relatively
cheaper.
		

			But if you if you book late lastminute.com You pay an arm and a leg and generally travel has become
expensive for anything and everything not just for Makkah and Medina So Alhamdulillah I must say
that, you know, if you sit and watch how they have cordoned off some areas and they have only
allowed people enter haram to do certain things and so on. It's just amazing. I now know exactly how
it works. And I salute the guy so Allah it's
		

			it's something that you have to you have to witness in order to appreciate people get frustrated and
so on.
		

			So I want to close by making a dua that Allah bring all of you and your families and your loved ones
here to Makkah and Medina May Allah Almighty bring you guys here and make it easy for you
		

			May Allah Almighty really grant you the best of this world and the next May Allah subhanho wa Taala
		

			guide all of us and give us goodness, I mean
		

			let me just recap what I said today that it's trying to give up one sin. One thing
		

			that we have
		

			one thing that we were trying to get rid of, we can get rid of it the moment one thing we can get
rid of, we have to get rid of it as soon as possible Inshallah, one thing one thing, one sin, quit.
And perhaps one thing you have to do to it. This month of Ramadan be strong, because there seems to
be a few people who are here waiting. They've probably watch this live from somewhere. Come around
to say salaam greet the brothers. In the meantime, love you all. Salaam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa
barakato.
