Salam Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh my brothers and sisters to taraweeh yes are done by the will of Allah subhanho wa Taala we have actually progressed one fast is done. I hope that you made dua when you were opening your first because Subhan Allah, the Hadith of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says Lissa in Farhatullah, the person who is fasting has two points of joy, joy, tremendous joy Farhatullah indefinitely he, well, Farhan indelicato are being the first point of joy is when he is opening his fast and this is divided into two categories, the daily opening of the fast at the end of each fast end, at the end of the month, when there is an Eid, there it will fit
on the major Eid of the declaration of the termination of the month of Ramadan. Those are the two points of tremendous joy, the first being when we open the fast and I explain both of those, and the second being when he meets with his Lord SubhanAllah. So on the Day of Judgment when you meet Allah subhanho wa Taala you will be so happy when you see the reward of the fast. Now remember, if Allah Almighty has kept such a great reward in something, it means that particular thing is of benefit to you in this world first, and men in the hereafter. In this world, it will really shape you into the best possible person, it will give you so much of benefit calmness, contentment, serenity, so much
of joy, happiness, so much of fulfillment, because of what is supposed to be happening in this beautiful month of Ramadan. So I hope and I pray that Allah accept from us our acts of worship. Also, we should always ask Allah O Allah, except our acts of worship, except our fasting. We've tried, we've done our best. We've, we may have made a few mistakes, but we did not do that intentionally. Obviously, I'm not talking about the mistakes where a person might eat. Although there is a ruling in that regard. If you have put something in your mouth or eaten without remembering. Then the Hadith says it's okay.
It's Allah Who fed you your fast does not break it was totally unintentional, or it was totally out of forgetfulness. But that having been said, remember that when we make little blunders in our lives generally, we ask Allah to forgive those sins we know we committed those we do not know we committed the major, the minor and all of them
and ultimately we want genital for those. So remember to enjoy your taraweeh remember to enjoy. That is the night prayer as well as the car that you are supposed to be engaged in. That is the remembrance of Allah subhanho wa taala. And at the same time, always look at the meanings of the beautiful verses that are recited at least one or two of those verses. If you were to look at one or two of the verses that are recited during the evening prayer every single day, it will change your life Subhan Allah may Allah Almighty grant us every form of goodness, and inshallah I look forward to seeing you again tomorrow. Yesterday I was not feeling so well today I much better although not
yet. 100% But inshallah we will be back with a bang tomorrow by the will of Allah. Salam aleikum wa rahmatullah.
