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.
