			And sisters, the crescent moon has been cited and within the blessed month of Ramadan 1445 Hijiri
has graced us once again. It is a time of reflection, a period of purification, and a season to
reconnect with Allah subhanho wa taala. So Ramadan is not just any month my dear brothers and
sisters, it is a divine invitation to transform our lives to deepen our faith and to cleanse our
souls across the year. We've been falling prey to the traps of the devil. They've been slipping,
we've been drifting. So Ramadan is this beautiful opportunity to get our bearings to get our
priorities straight, and to reconnect with Allah subhanho wa Taala It is a beautiful gift from Allah
		

			azza wa jal, it offers us the chance to recalibrate, to reset our spiritual clocks and to realign
our lives with our makers will. So let us embrace this month with open hearts to quick reminder
firstly, for myself and then all of you all, it is a time to leave behind the burdens of our past.
It is a time to leave behind those burdens. It is a time to mend our ways. It is a time to forge a
path closer to Allah subhanho wa Taala This is our annual spiritual bootcamp a time for spiritual
upliftment a time when the Quran was sent down as guidance to mankind as Allah says in the Quran,
shahada Ramadan Allah the own Zilla fi Hill Quran, the Quran was sent as clear proof of guidance
		

			with regards to what is right and what is wrong. So, therefore, this Ramadan with the brothers and
sisters, let us not let it slip away. Let us commit to change as you can see, last Ramadan went past
1444 Hijiri. And look at how time flies here we are at the at the beginning of Ramadan 1445 Hijiri.
And before you know it this month will also also leave us so therefore let us commit to change and
the change that starts within our hearts. We need to commit to that kind of a change, a change that
starts within our hearts and radiates outwards into our actions, our limbs, and we need the help of
Allah subhanho wa Taala with regards to this, so it has turned to him in sincere Toba asking for His
		

			forgiveness, asking for His Mercy asking for his guidance for his help so that we mend our ways. Let
us use the sacred month to reflect on our good deeds to reflect on our deeds good and bad. to
scrutinize our intentions. Why am I doing this deed? Am I doing it sincerely for the sake of Allah?
Or have I got ulterior motives? Is there another agenda so to scrutinize our intentions because the
deeds that are done with pure intentions sincerely, purely solely for the sake of Allah those are
the deeds My dear brother, my dear sister that are going to be accepted by Allah subhanho wa Taala
so therefore scrutinize your intentions and at least intend firmly to purify our hearts by the
		

			brothers and sisters. When you talk about habits this month of Ramadan offers us a beautiful canvas
to paint a new beginning a new chapter. It is the perfect time to instill and cultivate good habits.
It is the perfect time to discard bad habits and to discard anything, anything that distances us
from Allah subhanho wa Taala therefore let us dedicate more time for Salah let us dedicate more time
for reading the Quran. Let us dedicate more time to spread kindness through smiles through a kind
and good word through positive actions, every positive action every positive word counts media
product media system.
		

			And how do we ensure that these habits last beyond Ramadan, we start small, we stay consistent and
be remembered that every step taken towards Allah no matter how small is a monumental leap in our
spiritual journeys. Therefore it is intend firmly that we start with Ramadan and that we hope to
carry forward these habits these good deeds, these positive words making them a part of our essence
our very being our very our very DNA our very being from within us Subhanallah
		

			And when you reflect upon and Ramadan it is also a time of unity of community. It is a time when we
all get together, bound by our faith, bound by our brotherhood, bound by our sisterhood. So
therefore it is used this month month to extend our hands in generosity. Let us engage in acts of
charity, in Acts of sadaqa. Let us pay out our Zakah during this blessed month, and help those in
need look around you my dear brother, Medea Sister, you and I, we have been blessed Subhan Allah, we
have been given surplus, we've been given an abundance. But there are those who are struggling to
make ends meet. Their primary concern is the next meal. How are we to put it on our tables? How are
		

			we to feed our children, but we don't have to worry about that. Subhanallah why because Allah has
given us in surplus. So this is a month to prove that your Allah you've given us so much. We are
indebted. We want to be grateful. We want to give, and by giving, you're going to receive more, no
one has ever become poor by giving Subhanallah the more you give, the more you're going to receive.
The more you give, the more Allah the Most Generous is going to multiply and give you back in
return. For in giving, we receive and in forgiving, we are forgiven. In giving, you're going to
receive not from the recipients. We don't need their gratitude. We don't need credit from them. We
		

			don't need worldly accolades and medals and whatnot we want to receive from the Lord of all worlds
from Allah. So in giving be received from him and in forgiving. We are forgiven but Allah subhanho
wa Taala let us also remember the power of dua. This month many brothers and sisters is such a
powerful and blessed month as we make our way towards the last night Subhanallah I will perhaps talk
about it later, but you have little other the night of power within the last 10 nights. And dua is
our direct line to Allah Subhanallah especially when we wake up before during tahajjud in the last
third of the night, but Allah descends to the lowest heaven asking us if we have any requests. So
		

			this Ramadan let your donors be profound. Let them be sincere and let them reflect on your deepest
hopes, your deepest desires for yourself, your loved ones and for the entire Ummah of Muhammad
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, my dear brothers and sisters, as we fast from dawn to dusk. Let us also
fast from negative thoughts. Let us fast from harmful words. Let us fast from actions that
contradict our faith. Let us cleanse our minds let us cleanse our hearts and our souls. Let us fill
them with compassion. It has filled them with patience. Let us fill them with a deep sense of
gratitude for all of Allah's boons and blessings that we are valuing in. This is the inner and deep
		

			spirit of Ramadan, it is not only to stay away from food and drink, subhanAllah stay away from every
toxic thing, every negative thing, every negative word, every negative action. This is the true
spirit of Ramadan, the true spirit of fasting. So let us all make a united intention, a collective
intention and intention to emerge from this Ramadan, renewed, revitalized, reborn, rejuvenated to
carry the light of this month in our hearts, eliminating the path for ourselves and for others. Dear
brothers and sisters this beautiful month, do not let it go in vain. Make the most out of it. I
conclude by praying May Allah Subhana Allah Allah bless each and every one of us to make the most
		

			out of this beautiful month of Ramadan. And may He bless us all to attain many more Ramadan in the
future. May He bless us to attain the last and nights of this month. May He bless us to attain the
Night of Power later to coddle me he answer our two hours may fill our hearts with generosity so
that we give as much as we can engine in sadaqa and charity may help us to give out of his academy
he helped us to help those who are in need to feed the hungry to give water to those who do not have
water to help those who are struggling Subhan Allah may help us to purify our hearts may help us to
stay away from the traps of the devil. And just as how he has united as across these platforms. And
		

			just as how he united us across this video may unite us in the beautiful garden so Jana in the
companionship of our beloved prophet muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. I mean I mean wakrah
