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.
