			You can create perhaps content that might be
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:04
			content of laughter
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:06
			for as long as it's within the limits,
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:08
			that's okay. But try and make it beneficial
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:10
			somehow, either for your deen or your dunya.
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:14
			Your worldly life, alhamdulillah, you benefited people by
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:15
			saying something, doing something,
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:19
			or for your religion, your faith, your connection
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:19
			with Allah,
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:22
			some Quran and so on, mashaAllah. We have
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:25
			the imams of the haram this year. Amazing.
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:26
			Awesome. I had the good
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:30
			gift of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala of being
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:32
			in Makkah for a short time in Ramadan
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:33
			and Madinah Munawwara.
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:36
			Trust me, I heard some recitation.
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:38
			I did not want it to stop. When
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:40
			the imam was going into ruku, I felt
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:42
			a I felt a pain that he should
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:44
			have continued. What was the name of this
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:45
			imam?
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:47
			Anyone knows one of the new imams in
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:48
			Makkah?
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:51
			I can hear someone saying Shamsan, one of
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:53
			them. Another one?
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:56
			Sheik Badr. I can hear these names. Look,
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:58
			we know who they are. Sheikh Badr at
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:00
			Turki, in my opinion, may Allah protect him,
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:02
			preserve him. Listen to his recitation.
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:05
			I love it so much. I fell in
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:07
			love with this guy. I can't stop
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:10
			watching, listening and repeating over and over again.
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:13
			For some reason, everyone is impacted and affected
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:13
			differently
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:15
			by different reciters
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:17
			and at different times it's another reciter. You
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:19
			might find someone else in a few months
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:22
			time. But for now, for me, this man
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:24
			did it in the month of Ramadan such
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:26
			that I was moved and motivated.
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:28
			Imagine the Quran,
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:30
			the recitation of the Quran,
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:33
			listening to the Quran. If you're not good
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:36
			at reciting it, minimum listen to it. Try
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:39
			to repeat the words. Wallahi, it brings pain
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:41
			to the hearts. When I see young boys
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:43
			and girls, sometimes little children
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:44
			memorizing
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:48
			song after song after song with words at
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:50
			times that are so embarrassing, I don't even
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:53
			think they themselves know the words. I remember
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:55
			a young person
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:58
			who was singing a little song with words,
		
00:01:58 --> 00:01:59
			and I said, do you know this? Do
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:01
			you know what it means? And they said,
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:03
			no because it was in another language. So
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:05
			how are you saying it? Well, I just
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:08
			learned what it's saying, you know. Imagine, it's
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:09
			a fact.
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:10
			They learned the words
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:13
			without knowing what they mean because it was
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:15
			in another language, and they learned it.
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:16
			Well,
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:19
			how much effort did you put to learn
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:21
			this Quran? It's the month of Ramadan. Didn't
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:23
			we say Allah says shaharoo Ramadan? Allahviunzilafi'il
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:25
			Quran.
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:27
			The month in which the Quran was revealed.
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:30
			That's one of the most important facts about
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:33
			Ramadan. That's why Allah says it in the
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:33
			Quran.
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:36
			Can't we make an effort to memorize a
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:38
			little bit? Trust me my brothers and sisters,
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:39
			we can do it by the will of
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:42
			Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala. May Allah Almighty grant
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:44
			every one of us goodness and ease.
