00:00:02--> 00:00:04

My brothers and sisters, a week of Ramadan

00:00:05--> 00:00:05

is over.

00:00:06--> 00:00:08

Every year before we know it, Ramadan

00:00:09--> 00:00:10

comes to an end. And we have not

00:00:10--> 00:00:13

yet achieved what we wanted to

00:00:14--> 00:00:16

for this beautiful month of Ramadan. For that

00:00:16--> 00:00:16

reason,

00:00:17--> 00:00:19

I want to say tonight, my brothers and

00:00:19--> 00:00:21

sisters, if there is something you planned to

00:00:21--> 00:00:22

do for Ramadan,

00:00:22--> 00:00:25

and you have not yet done it, please

00:00:25--> 00:00:26

let's start doing it now.

00:00:26--> 00:00:29

The amount of Quran you're reading, the amount

00:00:29--> 00:00:31

of Ibadah, acts of worship that you are

00:00:31--> 00:00:34

fulfilling, the amount of tarawih you are fulfilling,

00:00:34--> 00:00:35

perhaps

00:00:35--> 00:00:36

the

00:00:36--> 00:00:37

other acts of worship,

00:00:38--> 00:00:40

something that you always wanted to do, the

00:00:40--> 00:00:41

resolutions

00:00:41--> 00:00:42

that

00:00:42--> 00:00:45

you have made for Ramadan. Make sure you

00:00:45--> 00:00:46

are fulfilling

00:00:46--> 00:00:49

them. Take stock of your deeds and ensure

00:00:49--> 00:00:52

that this next part of Ramadan is going

00:00:52--> 00:00:54

to be even better than these few days

00:00:54--> 00:00:57

that have passed. Many of the Masjids around

00:00:57--> 00:00:57

the world

00:00:58--> 00:01:00

try to complete the Quran in Ramadan. So

00:01:00--> 00:01:03

by now, they finished approximately a third of

00:01:03--> 00:01:03

the Quran.

00:01:04--> 00:01:07

Imagine a third of that recitation is already

00:01:07--> 00:01:07

done.

00:01:08--> 00:01:10

So there is a little bit remaining. My

00:01:10--> 00:01:11

brothers and sisters, Alhamdulillah,

00:01:12--> 00:01:15

Allah has blessed us in such a way

00:01:15--> 00:01:17

that at least we have food for iftar.

00:01:18--> 00:01:20

Did you know there are people out there

00:01:20--> 00:01:22

who do not have food for iftar?

00:01:22--> 00:01:25

They have to open their fast at times

00:01:25--> 00:01:28

with a little bit of water, perhaps not

00:01:28--> 00:01:29

even that in some

00:01:30--> 00:01:30

circumstances.

00:01:31--> 00:01:34

I remember someone asking one of the scholars,

00:01:34--> 00:01:37

can we break our fast just by our

00:01:37--> 00:01:37

intentions?

00:01:38--> 00:01:39

If we are licking our lips with the

00:01:39--> 00:01:41

intention that this is the opening of the

00:01:41--> 00:01:43

fast because we have absolutely

00:01:43--> 00:01:46

no food, no drink to open the fast

00:01:46--> 00:01:48

with. Just imagine that question.

00:01:48--> 00:01:51

The fact that they asked the question already

00:01:51--> 00:01:53

shows that you and I need to do

00:01:53--> 00:01:55

more to reach out to those who don't

00:01:55--> 00:01:58

have. So this Ramadan, make it a Ramadan

00:01:58--> 00:01:59

with a difference.

00:02:00--> 00:02:01

Give out as much as you can in

00:02:01--> 00:02:04

terms of charity. And like I always say,

00:02:04--> 00:02:07

the charity of your choice. May Allah Almighty

00:02:07--> 00:02:10

make it easy for us. Someone you trust,

00:02:10--> 00:02:12

some place that you know

00:02:13--> 00:02:15

the food will get to the recipient. And

00:02:15--> 00:02:17

InshaAllah, in that particular way, we will be

00:02:17--> 00:02:19

able to maximize the reward

00:02:20--> 00:02:22

of this wonderful month of Ramadan. May Allah

00:02:23--> 00:02:25

help us so that we don't waste our

00:02:25--> 00:02:27

nights and our days, and may Allah

00:02:28--> 00:02:29

make us maximize

00:02:30--> 00:02:32

khair. As salamu alaykum warahmatullahi barakatuh.

00:02:30--> 00:02:32

khair. As salamu alaykum warahmatullahi barakatuh.
