Almighty make us all from the people of taqwa.
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:58
			Secondly, it is incumbent upon all of us to thank Allah subhanho wa Taala for the numerous bounties
that Allah the Almighty, our beloved maker has conferred upon us the numerous bounties even if we
were to try and count those favors of a loss of a high net worth. We would fail to enumerate all of
the failures of philosophy behind them, as he himself says in the noble core and

			My dear respected elders and brothers in Islam, the aroma of Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam,
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:25
			the Nation of Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is indeed a blessing.
		
00:03:27 --> 00:04:02
			For all of us on hold oma, we keep constantly moving from virtue to another virtue, we keep moving
from one Mercy of Allah subhanho wa Taala, to another Mercy of Allah subhanho wa Taala upon
filmmaker, Allah, the Almighty Isaiah JAL, he created all of his creation, and then afterwards, he
gave superiority, he gave virtue to some of his creation over others, as Allah Subhana Allah says in
the noble Four

shell of us behind the hood, upon which he ascended in a manner that befits His Majesty and His

00:04:45 --> 00:04:59
			Allah subhana wa tada created the melodica created the angels, all of the angels and then others

been given the responsibility of the rains and the provisions is Rafi alayhi salatu salam who has
been given the responsibility of blowing the trumpet, he has already placed the trumpet on his lips,
waiting for the command of Hamas.
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:32
			To blow it to signify the commencement of the Day of Judgment. Allahu Akbar
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:54
			jabril alayhi salatu wa sallam was given superiority, oh all angels, Allah the Almighty made him up

making him the greatest prophet of all, and by making him the best of mankind.
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:48
			All of this is from the virtues from the blessings of Allah subhanho wa Taala.
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:57
			Likewise, my dear respected elders and brothers in Islam, Allah the Almighty did not create all of
time equal.
		
00:07:58 --> 00:08:18
			Allah subhanahu wa taala attached word choose to some days over other days, to some months over
other months to some nights over other nights, the best of days. According to the hadith of
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is Friday is the day that you and I we are seated in.
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:25
			Lagos lm is reported to have said hydro Yeoman.
		
00:08:26 --> 00:09:02
			Yeoman Juma that the best of days upon which the sun has risen is Friday. It was in this day, it was
on this day that other man in salatu salam was created. And it was on this day that other Miley
salatu salam was admitted entry into Jenna and also it was on this day that are the modern salatu
salam was taken out of Jenna. From the man's mature respected elders and brothers in Islam, Allah
the Almighty has attached so much of virtue and given preference to the month that we are rapidly
heading towards the month of Ramadan.
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:24
			And now comes about the topic for today's sermon. Make this Ramadan count the topic for today's
sermon in sha Allah will be make this Ramadan count money respected elders and brothers in Islam.
The month that we are headed towards the blessed month of Ramadan is a month known as Sharon.
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:32
			It is known as the month of the Quran. It is known as shadow tarawih. It is the month of Dharavi it
is known as shadow.
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:59
			It is known as the month of generosity and the month of spending it is known as shadow damage. It is
known as the month of delay because most of us will be involved in night worship towards Allah
subhanahu wa Tada. This is why Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was overjoyed when he was
expecting Ramadan when the month of Ramadan was near Rasulullah sallallahu
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:06
			Who seldom used to be so overjoyed he used to be excited, waiting for the month of Ramadan.
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:12
			Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is reported to have said
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:23
			Sharon Mubarak a month is coming towards y'all. The month of Ramadan, a blessed month.
		
00:10:25 --> 00:10:26
			Allah Allah.
		
00:10:27 --> 00:10:33
			Allah subhanho wa Taala has made obligatory upon all of your fasting in that month to
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:39
			the doors of the heavens will be opened in that month.
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:47
			The dose of jahannam will be slammed shut in that particular month.
		
00:10:50 --> 00:10:58
			Many narrations and other narrations to it has been mentioned that the devil's will be locked up
they will be chained and locked up.
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:06
			And in that blessed month in the month of Ramadan, there is a night there is a night
		
00:11:08 --> 00:11:11
			it is better than 1000 months.
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:17
			There is one night that is better than 1000 months madhurima.
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:34
			Whoever is deprived from the blessings of that night, or that month is indeed the one who is utterly
deprived. May Allah subhanho wa Taala not make us from the ones who are deprived of the blessings of
the month of Ramadan. I mean,
		
00:11:35 --> 00:11:36
			as
		
00:11:37 --> 00:12:14
			a pious predecessors, they used to pray to Allah subhanho wa Taala very sincerely, very earnestly
Allah give me a chance to attain the month of Ramadan the coming month of Ramadan before you take my
life, Allah. Allah prolong my life so that I attained the coming month of Ramadan because the month
of Ramadan is such a blessing month. Such a noble guest all of us we need to prepare ourselves
starting from now it's not too late to welcome that noble guest who is headed our way above
		
00:12:17 --> 00:12:30
			my dear respected elders and brothers in Islam. Have you ever thought about the virtue of attaining
the month of Ramadan? Have you ever thought about the virtue of attaining the month of Ramadan
Hadith is anybody imagine?
		
00:12:31 --> 00:13:27
			isn't even imagine the Hadith goes along the lines of these words to men go to Rasulullah sallallahu
alayhi wasallam they go to the supervisor Nevada salah and they proclaim jasola law we wish to
accept or embrace Islam to men embrace Islam on the same day from these two men, one of them used to
exert himself excessively excessively in good deeds. He used to involve himself in jihad. He used to
involve himself in that he used to exert himself more than the second individual and this first
brother, he passes away as a Shaheen. He dies on the battlefield. He passes away as a Shaheed Amata
the second individual he passes away A year later, after the first individual passed away as a
		
00:13:27 --> 00:13:28
			Shaheed. Now
		
00:13:29 --> 00:13:32
			as a hobby by the name of obey the law.
		
00:13:33 --> 00:13:35
			He saw a dream.
		
00:13:36 --> 00:13:45
			This is a long line, he saw a dream. In that dream he saw himself in front of the gates of Jenna
Allahu Akbar.
		
00:13:48 --> 00:14:39
			He saw a dream and he saw himself in front of the gates of Jenna, and he saw these two individuals,
the one who passed away as a Shaheed and the other individual who passed away who died a normal
death one year later, both of them were also in front of the gates of Jenna. While she was observing
the scene, an angel comes out of Jenna and admits the second individual. The individual who passed a
year later after the Shaheed the individual who died a normal death, he admits him first into Jenna
and closes the gates and goes away. After a while, the angel comes back again and then admits the
individual who passed away as a matter as a Shaheed Allahu Akbar. He goes in second and then he
		
00:14:39 --> 00:14:40
			closes the gates and moves away.
		
00:14:42 --> 00:14:49
			After some time the angel comes again and now faces called hora de la Juan and and informs called
hora de la one. Yeah.
		
00:14:51 --> 00:14:59
			Go back for your time has not come. You may go back because your time has not come the minute the
angel said that.
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:23
			Pearl Harbor, woke up from his slumber from his sleep. And he was shocked at the dream that he
witnessed. He goes about telling people because he's sharp, He's surprised. He ends up going and
informing Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam about the dream of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam very calmly asks called Haro the wrong one.
		
00:15:24 --> 00:15:39
			What is it that surprises you from the dream that you witnessed the long line who, because of his
ardent desire, not because he was questioning the dream of questioning the decree of Oz behind him
with
		
00:15:41 --> 00:15:52
			his ardent desire was to find out what was the special deed that the second individual had done to
make him intergender before Shaheed
		
00:15:53 --> 00:16:27
			so he informs the sort of lights on the lawn Why don't you say to them as to in regard to why he was
surprised now what we need to understand my dear respected elders and brothers in Islam, that the
status of a Shaheed is not ordinary, the rank of A Shaheed is not something ordinary, it is natural
for the long run to be amazed because the daraga the rank of Russia, he is much much higher. So he
was surprised as to how did the second individual go into gender before the Shaheed because a
Shaheed
		
00:16:29 --> 00:16:38
			is an individual who have lost behind a horse wa Taala blesses with six special traits, six special
qualities. Number one,
		
00:16:39 --> 00:17:03
			before the first drop of his blood, spills onto the ground, all of his sins will be forgiven, and he
will be able to see his place in Genoa Allahu Akbar. trait number one, trait number two, there will
be no punishment for the Shaheed in the grave. No other for him in his grave. Number three,
		
00:17:04 --> 00:17:21
			he will not be scared he will not be terrified on the day even all of mankind will be terrified and
will be running Helter Skelter. This man will become the Shaheed he will not be scared he will not
be terrified.
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:49
			Russia he is a person who will be given a crown of honor on the Day of Judgment, trait number four,
he will be given a crown of honor on the Day of Judgment, that crown will be so special, it would
glitter and it would have jewels and gems in custard all around the crown. And just one from the
crowd is more valuable than this whole world and all it contains
		
00:17:51 --> 00:18:21
			trait number five, Allah Subhana Allah will bless him with the most beautiful of spouses he could
ever imagine. This is quality number five, and the final trait is that he will be given the
permission to intercede on the behalf of 70 of his family members to get them out of Jannah into
Jenna Allah the Almighty will permit him to do that. But this is the daughter of a Shaheed so no
wonder palheiro
		
00:18:23 --> 00:18:45
			was surprised. He was amazed how come the second individual antigen before the Shaheed Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam then asks called harrovian Mohan Yamaha did not the second individual
witness one whole year after the Shahid palheiro the other one replies in the affirmative, he says,
but of course he
		
00:18:47 --> 00:18:52
			did that individual, not witness another month of Ramadan.
		
00:18:54 --> 00:18:56
			The law one replies by law, yes, of course.
		
00:18:57 --> 00:19:46
			Then did that individual not pray this kind of a prayer did he not make such more than that
individual palheiro the one who replies Bella yaroslava then Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
goes on to say along the lines of these words, that the difference between the Shaheed and the
individual who stayed a year back who witnessed another month of Ramadan who involved himself in
other acts of worship. The difference between these two individuals is like the heavens and the
earth a law. My dear respected elders and brothers in Islam, this narration should fill our hearts
with hope. This month of Ramadan, make it count. Do the very best. be your best in this month of
		
00:19:46 --> 00:19:59
			Ramadan. turn over a new leaf begin a new chapter. Turn to Allah subhanho wa Taala in sincere Toba
before it's too late My dear respected elders and brothers in Islam because I wish to ask
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:01
			Ask your question now.
		
00:20:02 --> 00:20:23
			And I hope that this question serves as a reality check for you and me to wake all of us up from the
drunken haze, that this dunya this worldly, this materialistic, worldly life has intoxicated us. The
question is, what if this is your last Ramadan?
		
00:20:26 --> 00:20:30
			What if this is your last Ramadan?
		
00:20:31 --> 00:21:17
			What if molecule mouth? That is never going to happen? But hypothetically What if molecule mouth has
come to you and told you I give you time until the end of Ramadan? Right after the day of eat, I
come to visit you to take your soul. How would you and I behave in this month of Ramadan mature,
respected elders and brothers in Islam? in reality we don't we cannot even guarantee that we will
last till the end of Ramadan. We cannot even guarantee that we would last till we reach home after
Juma that is an impending reality My dear respected elders and brothers in Islam, and it is upon us
to remember this excessively just as how our beloved Master Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is
		
00:21:17 --> 00:21:23
			reported to have said Hadith is intermediate a coup de gras Heidi Milla de Jani Alma,
		
00:21:25 --> 00:21:36
			make excessive remembrance of the destroyer of pleasures, make excessive remembrance of the
Terminator of pleasures, which is death, which is almost
		
00:21:38 --> 00:22:09
			My dear respected elders and brothers in Islam The more we remember death, the more we make
remembrance of death, that that would shatter the fake waves of pleasure that this dunya adorns
herself with none of us can guarantee for how long we will last many respected elders and brothers
in Islam. What if by the time we reach our homes molekule mouth is standing by the doorway waiting
to take our lives the question that you and I need to be asking ourselves, are we ready to meet a
mouse
		
00:22:10 --> 00:22:59
			because molekule mouse will not give you a second extra even if you cry tears of blood if you're
supposed to pass away if you're supposed to die at 106 pm on the sixth of June 2014. So we hit
molekule mouth according to the will of Allah subhanho wa Taala he will be there on the dock. We
will not even get a second extra but we have been intoxicated with this materialistic dounia we run
behind dounia we are behind dunia we have forgotten Allah subhanho wa Taala Are we ready to meet
Allah subhanho wa Taala so my dear respected elders and brothers in Islam turn to Allah the Almighty
before it's too late, make use of the blessed month of Ramadan that we are headed towards.
		
00:23:02 --> 00:23:16
			So let us prepare for the month of Ramadan. From the preparations for the month of Ramadan, I would
like to highlight on one important aspect and that is in regard to our Salah.
		
00:23:19 --> 00:24:02
			My dear respected elders and brothers in Islam, Salah is what differentiates us and the Kufa Sala is
what differentiates a Muslim from a cafe. But many of us have lost the understanding of the value of
solar. We think of solar as a burden. We think of solar as something that we need to get over with
Allahu Akbar, Salah is the link between us and Allah subhana wa ala between our beloved maker, we
should enjoy Salah we should wait for Santa say we finished we should wait earnestly for solid
answer and then
		
00:24:03 --> 00:24:06
			a whole day revolves around Salah.
		
00:24:07 --> 00:24:19
			Look at the difference of the importance we attach to sola and the importance the Sahaba Rwanda
Allah Allah Himeji marine attached to Salah
		
00:24:23 --> 00:24:25
			It was during the sale of Amaro de la one.
		
00:24:28 --> 00:24:32
			One morning tomorrow the long line goes to the masjid
		
00:24:33 --> 00:24:34
			for Salah.
		
00:24:36 --> 00:24:47
			He goes to domesticate the Sahaba one light Allah Allah image mine have gathered because the Amira
meaning is the one who generally conducts the Salah. He will be the man
		
00:24:49 --> 00:24:59
			or woman, the long line moves forward to conduct a solid solid refresher. He makes sure that the
sufu align all of the rows
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:09
			I like something we will touch towards the end of the football. He makes sure that the subwoofer all
aligned and then he turns to tie tech be
		
00:25:11 --> 00:25:13
			as he ties takbeer
		
00:25:15 --> 00:25:21
			the criminal abou Alma juicy above the fire worshipper.
		
00:25:22 --> 00:25:37
			He comes and stabs rumor. rhodiola one with the with a double tip dagger he stabs aroma rhodiola one
multiple times. Tomorrow the long line who knows he doesn't want to leave.
		
00:25:38 --> 00:25:50
			But he's weak because blood starts gushing out of the wounds of the stabbing by the individual.
Tomorrow, the long line who feels dizzy feels weak. Immediately he leans onto
		
00:25:52 --> 00:25:57
			the low line and pushes forward Abdurahman even out for the long line who to conduct the solid,
		
00:25:58 --> 00:25:59
			the Sahaba
		
00:26:01 --> 00:26:15
			and some of them quickly help over the long run and rush him to his home. Although the long line the
minute he reaches his home, he falls unconscious. Why because of the heavy bleeding he falls
unconscious. The so However,
		
00:26:17 --> 00:26:45
			they finished the salah and they rushed to the house of meaning, they see that he has fallen
unconscious. Now it is almost daybreak, the sun is about to rise. Now they are wondering how are we
to make ameerul momineen How are we to make over the long line gain consciousness? What are we to do
today? What would you and I think let's keep some smelling salts perhaps to help the person gain
consciousness. The Sahaba
		
00:26:46 --> 00:27:02
			mind immediately come to a conclusion that ameerul momineen had this importance that he attached to
Sala nothing on earth could prevent him from fulfilling his Salatu Allah Subhana Allah so the Sahaba
		
00:27:04 --> 00:27:28
			go by Roberto de la one who is unconscious now and say yeah ameerul momineen It is time for Salah
amirul momineen It is time for Salah Omar Oh the long line immediately gets up from his slumber
Allahu Akbar. Is it time for Salah Is it time for Salah. This was the importance they attached to
Solomon he respected elders and brothers in Islam, but we on the other hand, placing multiple alarms
		
00:27:29 --> 00:27:33
			we find it difficult to lift the tiny blanket and make it to the message of
		
00:27:38 --> 00:28:17
			the law who gets up Is it time for Salah Is it time for Salah Have you all finished? He asked the
Sahaba Allah Allah the Sahaba they reply Yes, we finished our Salah then please bring some Bring
some water ablution and then he makes a fresh ablution and remember, why is he still bleeding he's
still bleeding from his wounds, he makes a fresh ablution and then immediately prays solid will
further mature, respected elders and brothers in Islam for a slight headache or a slight fever. We
tend to miss so many followers May Allah Subhana Allah forgive us all.
		
00:28:19 --> 00:29:00
			Even at the crucial moment, he is bleeding heavily. The importance that he attaches to Salah is
admirable that is how you and I we need to behave with Salah with that blessed relationship between
us and a wa Subhana Allah. So my dear respected elders and brothers in Islam from the prepared
preparations for the month of Ramadan, please establish your Salah please establish your Salah on
time with the congregation. These are all things which would take time to touch but I just want to
touch on one very important etiquette in regard to solve something that most of us are now
neglecting. And that is in regard to straightening your rose.
		
00:29:03 --> 00:29:15
			Hadith in Bukhari Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is reported to have said straighten your
rose for straightening of the Rose is part of perfecting your Salah in another innovation.
		
00:29:16 --> 00:29:48
			Salim is reported to have said straighten your rows for straightening of the rows is part of
establishing your Salah is in Muslim Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is reported to have said
straighten your rows and do not differ in your rows lest your hearts will begin to differ. Our sales
call is in Bukhari and Muslim Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was aligning the rows before he
was straightening the rows and he saw a man whose chest was a bit forward. In other words, he had

00:29:49 --> 00:30:00
			alayhi wa sallam immediately said all slaves of Allah all slaves of Allah straighten your rose all
Allah subhanho wa Taala
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:47
			will cause this unity amongst your straighten your rows or allow the Almighty will cause this unity
amongst your heart behind and what Allah say was all my dear respected elders and brothers in Islam,
if there are gaps in the Rose shaitan the occurs Devin, he starts going through the rows like a tiny
lamb, causing mischief and corruption amongst the Salah. He causes disunity amongst the hearts. He
plays around with our minds. It is upon us to straighten our rows. Today Today we see individuals
due to the heat perhaps or because he's got this favorite spot in the mustard. What come what may he
does not want to leave that spot in the masjid or is because of the heat he wants to be right under
		
00:30:47 --> 00:31:14
			the fan. Even if there is a gap in front of him, he is not ready to move forward and fill the gaps.
muddy respected elders and brothers in Islam, the majority of the Ummah, they say that it is
obligatory straightening of the rows and filling the gaps standing shoulder to shoulder feet
together is obligatory and if the congregation does not see to it that all of the gaps are filled.
The whole congregation is considered as sinners, Allah save us all.
		
00:31:17 --> 00:31:57
			The scholars also say My dear respected elders and brothers in Islam, that it is upon us to
straighten our rows based on our heels, we should look back back at our heels and our heels should
be aligned together. Today we have some brothers who align the rows based on their toes. Now, the
problem with the toes is perhaps some people have got longer toes and some people have got shorter
toes. So how are you going to align the rows based on your toes, but heels everybody has got has got
almost the same heel. So you align your rows based on your heels. And if there is a gap try to fill
up the gaps. Like I said before, at times we have brothers towards the back and especially on days
		
00:31:57 --> 00:32:30
			of Juma on the days of Juma on Friday because most of the flows in the masjid are full. We have
brothers who stay right at the back right at the back with whatever flow it may be because right
after the man gives Sarah the vote to rush out of the masjid. This is their relationship with Allah
subhanho wa Taala they come to the masjid waiting to rush out my dear respected elders and brothers
in Islam, we must give importance and priority to the first row we must give importance and priority
to the first row Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is reported to have said,
		
00:32:35 --> 00:33:25
			as low as a nation as long as a group keeps delaying themselves or keep going behind from the first
row. In the sense, the HUD is along these words, the nation that delays themselves, Allah subhanho
wa Taala will delay for them. Now Avi Rahim Allah He writes in his shadow of that Hadith, he
explains in regard to the idea that it is in regard to individuals who delay from coming to the
first row. If they delay coming to the first row, Allah subhanho wa Taala will delay in regard to
sending goods to them in regard to conferring his blessings and virtues upon them. So we need to
compete with one another. There should be a heavy competition amongst ourselves to make it to the
		
00:33:25 --> 00:33:36
			first row of domestic because the first row is the row that is given word to my dear respected
elders and brothers in Islam, not the last row, not the row by the door so that you can rush out
right after Salah
		
00:33:39 --> 00:33:45
			marry respected elders and brothers in Islam I hope I have touched on the importance of aligning
your rows.
		
00:33:46 --> 00:34:25
			This is also part of perfecting your Salah and preparing In other words, perfecting your Salah is
part of the preparation that we can prepare for the month of Ramadan so that we can welcome that
blessing guests who is about to visit us soon. And so that we can make that blessed month of Ramadan
count this time and my dear respected elders and brothers in Islam as a closing note, I admonish
myself and then all of your to turn to Hamas behind who Allah before it's too late. And like we
mentioned about death before medical mode comes in front of you and before the sun rises from the
west. With either one of the two occurrences were to occur, the dose of Toba will be slam shot. And
		
00:34:25 --> 00:34:30
			even if you were to cry tears of blood of us behind what Allah would not accept our Toba.
		
00:34:32 --> 00:34:46
			Allah forgive all of our sins, and may He the almighty accept all of our good deeds. And may He
unite us just as how he united us here this afternoon with our beloved prophet muhammad sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam in the gardens of genda
