Munir Ahmed – Ramadan Reminders #3

			Hungry la hora. Bilal Ameen. Salatu was Salam ala l mursaleen. O Allah Allah He was such
		

			a bad
		

			Praise be to Allah Lord of the worlds Peace and blessings and this prophet muhammad sallallahu
alayhi Salaam dear brothers and sisters as salaam aleikum, wa rahmatullah Peace and mercy of Allah
be with you all.
		

			This is a short message
		

			really,
		

			to encourage myself on yourself, and this blessed month of Ramadan, and it's amazing, but praise be
to Allah as we thank Allah as well, that two thirds of the month is up and we now face the last last
10 days in sha Allah.
		

			And
		

			it's, of course,
		

			it is, Ramadan itself is a blessing month, it requires jihad.
		

			Meaning struggle, we have to work hard through fasting and through developing our character
controlling our tongue and behavior. For all that's part and parcel of and that is, requires effort,
it's not
		

			an easy feat, the more laid back we easy about it, it's an indication of how we're actually not
trying to take the best and full advantage of the blessing and mercy and forgiveness that is on
offer.
		

			So
		

			Praise be to Allah that we've managed to get this far. And I know it's difficult.
		

			I never belittle and make it come across very easy.
		

			And all of us are feeling on top of that the difficulty with the lockdown situation, not being able
to see loved ones not being able to have that human touch with those with love.
		

			And social media although helps 100 out but never compensates for that. And all the other things
that are there challenges in the lockdown which I don't want to enlist now. But
		

			Praise be to Allah gave us the man Praise be to Allah who made as Muslim and believers so that gives
us a focus and a clear vision as to what the reality of life is, is it not so brothers and sisters
		

			but Ramadan to remind ourselves as we get towards the last 10 days in Nice. The time for winding
down is not started brothers and sisters. It's like starting climbing a hill at the beginning of
Ramadan. And now as we get we're not started going down the hill it's carrying on up the hill and we
need to actually its peak is actually to be reached by the end of Ramadan. You could say later to
Qatar and beyond and not to give up until the peak is actually the night before the Hazel fit of so
and so nervous little muscle allow a solemn
		

			as it reported in
		

			a couple of Hadith in Bukhari Muslim one from automobili ny Chateau de la Paul paulet
		

			canon A B canon the BIA sallallahu alayhi Salaam either dolla
		

			dolla Asheville our yearly fee Ramadan
		

			Laila what a club La Jolla worship del Mesa so
		

			humble might be nice as long as he says that the publicize when the last when he entered the last 10
days of Ramadan In other words, that he would stay up all night. In other words, stay up all night
and eat that day and liquor and contemplation.
		

			Not just stay up all night, some of us have the idea of staying up all night unfortunately.
		

			That is just you know, just chatting and playing games and things that that's not the idea here.
It's not just about staying with staying up with a very important purpose. And that is to worship
Allah suasana focused and concentrated effort between doing Salah between contemplating between
reading Quran doing Vicar having a break and the rest as well. No harm and
		

			all that.
		

			And then he would wake up also he would wake up his family,
		

			waking up his family either to do part of the night and not necessarily the whole of the night
indication.
		

			is if they can awaken family here doesn't mean kicking people out of bed,
		

			out of anger,
		

			the children are others in the family.
		

			And if they don't get up
		

			Yeah, in the night, as though they've committed some grave sin because in the end there's great
encouragement and Baraka Of course in this but it is to be done through love brothers and through
and sisters and through mercy towards one another as husbands or wives and then to the rest of the
family,
		

			from the children in the household, whoever else is there
		

			and in encouragement through love and and if they're not able to get up in these nights even to do
to to know our fault, they haven't committed to the grave sin the obligation is the fasting for
those days obligated on and five daily prayers.
		

			The deferred prayers, the rest is an encouragement to
		

			to reap the rewards and get forgiveness and mercy. So of course, there's great encouragement from
there's some novice Allah sallallahu Sallam and he's example.
		

			So here Layla was a coda, Allah he would wake up his family in other words, encourage them to to
partake of the rewards that are on offer were shut down mixer and tighten his mixer is from izhar
lower government and Allah had various views in regards to that.
		

			From
		

			the best of which have actually both views are inclusive in this Some said it means that he like he
would get up his lines and tightening the log arm means to get ready to do hard work. So to in
regards to Jihad as it works to struggle to
		

			a to do the Baba even more so that you're reaching that Pinnacle
		

			whatever we're doing in the Ramadan in the rest of Ramadan, we'll be doing more now. And that's the
idea of shed the limits or tightening the belt as it was on the lower garment. Also to set by Allah
Medina it also means not sleeping in the nights in the last 10 with the wise which would also fit
because of obvious Arsalan
		

			would do a decaf which was in the masjid. And the Quran is clear about those who are doing etic have
		

			a lot to wash ruhuna one two mokopuna fell massage it and you don't have the marital relationship
when you are doing etica intimacy so it would cover that meaning as well. And the idea of both or
include the idea of
		

			tightening the belt would have working hard is brought in another lease where profits are slim in
Sahih Muslim Canada bs en la la liga Salaam yester head Phil, Asheville arfid ma la yes the head
feels IUD in this month in the last 10 days he would
		

			work hard in EDA and contemplation growing closer to Allah smart Allah and with good deeds
		

			and giving
		

			included all that
		

			in the last 10 more than he did in the rest of it. So we see the beautiful examples. So last a La La
Jolla sallam.
		

			We can never reach that level and that Pinnacle
		

			but his example is there as an encouragement for us. This is not time to slacken
		

			This is a time for us to
		

			try harder and it is not too late despite all the mistakes that we've made brothers and sisters in
the days have gone by and we'll be thinking oh I didn't take advantage of that and I missed out on
that I've missed out on I should have done more on I should have done more contemplation I should
have spent less time on other social media things etc. It is not too late brother and sisters don't
think I'll leave it till the next time we're done because we never may never reached the next level
down. Allah smart Allah we're still in that beautiful blessing month the gates of Paradise is still
open and flowing open the gates of Hellfire are still close. And before things go back to normality
		

			and the shutdowns are still restrained and chained. So
		

			this is a reminder and encouragement for you.
		

			As I encourage myself
		

			to carry on and enjoy
		

			A lot to try and pick up the gear to strive harder.
		

			The objective is to go close to closer to our Creator, glory be to Him.
		

			If we achieve that, then that is very
		

			the real goal and objective pleasing Allah subhanho wa Taala and to fill our hearts with the man,
may Allah smart Allah enlightened our hearts and I thought that guidance through the light of His
guidance so the Quran May Allah subhanaw taala make this examples for others. And then I thought
about guide humanity Melissa to lift this
		

			pandemic from humanity and keep us always on Salatu was stalking him. Masada through us help others
on slaughter was stalking him towards Him and to his worship and save us from the fire of * and
