00:00:00--> 00:00:01

Spend it reflecting, pondering,

00:00:02--> 00:00:03

changing something.

00:00:03--> 00:00:04

Like Aisha asked

00:00:05--> 00:00:07

the prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, and

00:00:07--> 00:00:08

we've said this before.

00:00:09--> 00:00:11

If I were to see or witness or

00:00:11--> 00:00:14

be fortunate enough to be in this night

00:00:14--> 00:00:16

of decree, what should I do? What should

00:00:16--> 00:00:17

I say?

00:00:18--> 00:00:19

He says,

00:00:24--> 00:00:25

say, oh Allah,

00:00:25--> 00:00:28

you are most forgiving. You love to forgive,

00:00:28--> 00:00:29

so forgive me.

00:00:30--> 00:00:31

So if you achieve forgiveness,

00:00:32--> 00:00:35

it's amazing. It's the biggest achievement you could

00:00:35--> 00:00:37

ever have from the month of Ramadan

00:00:37--> 00:00:39

is to be able to

00:00:40--> 00:00:41

have the blessings

00:00:41--> 00:00:44

of standing in worship during the night of

00:00:44--> 00:00:46

decree, even for a portion of the night.

00:00:47--> 00:00:49

Not every one of us can stay awake

00:00:49--> 00:00:52

all night every night. Yes. Not not every

00:00:52--> 00:00:54

one of us can stay awake throughout the

00:00:54--> 00:00:56

night on any night. There are some people

00:00:56--> 00:00:58

who need their sleep. You may,

00:00:58--> 00:01:00

but keep it minimum.

00:01:01--> 00:01:03

It's sooner to liven the entire night.

00:01:03--> 00:01:06

But if you really are a person who's

00:01:06--> 00:01:08

unwell or you need that sleep, it's

00:01:09--> 00:01:11

not wrong. You may do so. But

00:01:11--> 00:01:13

at least spend a portion of the night

00:01:13--> 00:01:15

doing something special.

00:01:15--> 00:01:17

Is there not something special you're going to

00:01:17--> 00:01:19

do? Going to read a page of the

00:01:19--> 00:01:21

Quran that you don't normally do? Going to

00:01:21--> 00:01:24

read a little bit more today? Going to

00:01:24--> 00:01:26

engage in extra acts of worship?

00:01:26--> 00:01:27

SubhanAllah.

00:01:27--> 00:01:29

Something to please, unlike you with charity, maybe

00:01:30--> 00:01:31

make peace with someone.

00:01:32--> 00:01:35

Family members and many others that they may

00:01:35--> 00:01:37

be, promise Allah to change your bad ways

00:01:37--> 00:01:38

and habits.

00:01:38--> 00:01:41

Any one of these beautiful deeds,

00:01:41--> 00:01:43

the reward will be multiplied

00:01:44--> 00:01:46

so much that Allah says this night is

00:01:46--> 00:01:48

better than a 1000 months.

00:01:50--> 00:01:50

SubhanAllah.

00:01:51--> 00:01:53

Imagine Allah has given us favor.

00:01:53--> 00:01:54

We have read

00:01:55--> 00:01:56

like Nuh for

00:01:56--> 00:01:57

example.

00:01:58--> 00:02:00

It is said he lived with his people

00:02:01--> 00:02:02

for 950

00:02:02--> 00:02:04

years and lived beyond that even more.

00:02:06--> 00:02:08

And we have lives that are between 60

00:02:09--> 00:02:10

70 years plus minus.

00:02:11--> 00:02:13

The average lifespan is far less than what

00:02:13--> 00:02:16

it was then. So Allah is doing you

00:02:16--> 00:02:18

a favor. If you have to witness

00:02:19--> 00:02:20

10 nights

00:02:20--> 00:02:21

of

00:02:21--> 00:02:22

decree

00:02:22--> 00:02:26

throughout 10 years or 10 Ramadans, it would

00:02:26--> 00:02:28

be more than 830,

00:02:28--> 00:02:30

between 830 to 840

00:02:32--> 00:02:33

years

00:02:33--> 00:02:35

of Ibadah and worship.

00:02:35--> 00:02:36

Can you imagine?

00:02:37--> 00:02:38

It brings a smile to the face.

00:02:39--> 00:02:39

Masha'Allah.

00:02:40--> 00:02:41

shower upon us always. I mean.

00:02:40--> 00:02:41

shower upon us always. I mean.
