00:00:00 --> 00:00:02
			It's important for us to constantly ask Allah's
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:06
			forgiveness every day. 1 of the most blessed
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:08
			times that you could actually call out to
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:08
			Allah
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:10
			is the time of suhoor.
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:13
			That is a time, the last 3rd of
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:16
			the night, the time of tahajjud, the time
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:18
			just before the Fajr Adhan
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:19
			is called.
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:22
			And at this particular time, the hadith says
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:38
			Allah Almighty descends to the lowest heavens in
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:41
			a manner that is befitting His majesty
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:44
			and He calls out when the last 3rd
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:46
			of the night remains.
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:49
			He calls out saying, is there anyone seeking
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:51
			forgiveness that I may forgive him? Is there
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:54
			anyone who is repenting that I can accept
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:57
			the repentance? And is there anyone asking me
		
00:00:57 --> 00:01:00
			anything that I can give them? Now the
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:03
			good thing about Ramadan is we're mostly awake
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:05
			at the time for suhoor in order to
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:07
			eat the pre fast meal.
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:11
			And that time, we don't realize that actually
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:13
			we should be also seizing the opportunity
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:15
			to do 2 more things.
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:17
			Number 1 is to call out to Allah
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:19
			with your needs because Allah is calling out
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:21
			at that time. Answer Allah to say, yes,
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:23
			I am the 1 who needs. I am
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:25
			the 1 who's repenting. I'm the 1 who's
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:26
			seeking forgiveness.
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:29
			That would definitely be a bonus.
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:31
			And together with that, the second thing is
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:33
			it is the time of tahajjud which is
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:34
			the best prayer
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:35
			after
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:37
			the Faraf prayer
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:39
			and the wittiri. This is the best in
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:41
			terms of the voluntary prayers
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:42
			and the prophet
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:45
			used to read it quite regularly.
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:47
			If you were to look at
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:50
			what you can do to earn the pleasure
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:52
			of Allah, he mentions in the Quran
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:54
			in Surat Sajda.
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:12
			Allah speaks of those men and those people
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:14
			who liven up their homes with the remembrance
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:16
			of Allah and those whom Allah loves. 1
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:18
			of their qualities is
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:22
			their sides forsake their beddings at night.
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:25
			They call out to Allah
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:26
			with hope
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:27
			and
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:32
			with fear fearing his punishment and hoping in
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:34
			his mercy. And they spend a lot from
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:37
			what Allah has given them. They spend in
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:39
			good causes. They look after people. They take
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:41
			care of the needs of others, financial and
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:42
			monetary.
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:44
			And Allah takes care of them.
