And Khutbah before zawal, which is the time
for Dhul, so it's totally acceptable.
The second one, 1:30, salah is 155.
3rd one is 2:30, salah is 255.
So you can come any of these, 3
inshallah
out on the 9th month or after 9th
month.
Look at the month of Ramadan in the
same way. The month of Ramadan is the
9th is in the history calendar. It's number
9. Shab'al is number 8. Right? So after
the month of Ramadan, you come out of
this month with your sins forgiven. Just like
a boy who comes or comes out of
the womb of his mother or her mother.
Forgiven, just like a boy who comes or
comes out of the womb of his mother
or her mother without sins. And as the
prophet says whoever observes the month of Ramadan,
eventually they will come out with their
sins forgiven.
He also says
think of the month of Ramadan, think of
the year and the month of Ramadan, just
like the story of Yusuf alaihi salaam.
Surah Yusuf in the Quran is number 12.
Yusuf alaihi salaam when he was taken away
from his family and thrown in the well,
he was 12 years old.
And he says that Yusuf alaihis salam was
the best of the 12 sons that Yaqub
alaihis salam had, just like Ramadan is the
best of the 12th month in the year.
And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala forgave the 11
brothers because of the dua of Yusuf, one
out of 12,
just like the month of Ramadan. 1 month
forgives the rest of the month as the
Prophet SAW
says. Speaking of dua, when you read the
ayah that talk about Ramadan and fasting in
Surah Baqarah,
ayahat 180 3 to 187.
4 ayah that talk about fasting.
So from Ayah 183,
84, 85, 8.
186
talks about Dua.
Then 1 87 talks about a ruling related
to the month of Ramadan. So basically the
Ayah of Dua,
is in the middle of the ayah to
talk about Ramadan.
So when you look at the ayah, Wa'idha
saalakaibadi,
there's a huge difference in alibi between Wa'idha
wa'in.
It doesn't say Wa'in saalaka, it says Wa'idha
saalaka.
What is the difference?
When you say for example,
Wa
school, maybe he is not gonna come. Right?
Wa'idha saala Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is telling
us when my servants ask you about me
tell them I'm near.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is hoping that we're
going to pray to him. But if Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala says wa insa alaka
if
maybe they don't make Dua. But Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala is this hope in the ayah
that every Muslim would be making Dua to
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala especially if they are
fasting.
And
Allah doesn't say to the Prophet
tell them I'm near.
He's telling us directly, I am near. So
you wouldn't find tell them in this ayah.
When they ask you I am near. So
he's talking to you directly.
So the dua is accepted in the month
of Ramadan, and the Prophet
says
There are 3 types of people whose dua
is always accepted by Allah
One of them is Al Mabdoom, the person
who is treated unjustly.
Was saim, and the person who is fasting.
If you make dua to Allah
in fasting,
most likely your dua will be accepted. And
number 3,
dua If you make dua for your children,
most likely Allah will
accept your dua. So dua is very connected
to the month of Ramadan, and there is
a reason
why the eye of dua is mentioned in
the middle of the ayah that talk about
fasting in the month of Ramadan.
Now there's I'm gonna conclude with this short
story inshaAllah. It's a true story that happened
in Algeria,
in jazah many years ago. There's a doctor
by the name of Muhammad,
and he was going to the airport
to catch a flight to go to Europe
to attend a conference in the month of
Ramadan.
So what happened basically he went to the
airport,
so he went inside to take the flight
and they told him sorry Padkon,
the flight is cancelled.
And he said no, I have to go.
If I if I don't go today, I'm
gonna miss the 1st day of the conference,
and I have to give a talk at
the conference.
They told him no, it's cancelled. The next
flight is scheduled for tomorrow. If you want
to catch a flight today, you have to
drive like 3 or 4 hours to the
next airport. You can take a flight from
there. He said, okay. So he rented the
car, on the way
it started to rain very hard, and he
got lost and the car broke down.
This is a total disaster for him and
he was very sad, and he was very
like stressed out.
And he started to look for a place
to call or to get some help, he
could only find one house. He went to
that house, he knocked on the door, an
older woman opened the door for him, she
told him get inside because it's raining, her
kids were there.
And eventually they found out that he was
a doctor, and she told
him, I've been making dua the whole month
of Ramadan that Allah
will send me help. Because my son has
been critically sick for a long time, and
he needs medical attention, but we live here
and no one comes this way. There's no
hospital close by, and I don't have money
to afford his treatment. He needed a surgery
or something.
So he started to think and he said
subhanAllah Allah
cancelled my flight,
Allah
sent the rain, my car broke down,
all of this happened so I can come
here. Allah
answered the dua of this woman in the
month of Ramadan, and Allah dragged me from
the airport,
from the car into car, through the rain,
and I got lost only to answer the
dua of this woman. So make sure inshaAllah
when you make dua to Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala
Keep in your mind that when you make
dua Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala will answer you.
Because if you keep in your mind that
Allah will not answer you,
just like you go to an important person
and tell them, you know, please give me
$10 or I maybe you don't I don't
think you can afford to give me $10
Like if you think I can afford to
give you, why are you asking me? Right?
So if you know that Allah
has everything in His hands, so you have
to ask with confidence, because Allah
is the Lord of everything.
So a question for last night,
So a question for last night. So something
was sent with a message in Surah Naml,
and this thing is not a Prophet, and
it is not a Messenger or an Angel.
And this is the hood hood, the hopu
of Sulayman
It was sent with a message
the queen of Sheba. And the winner is,
Yusuf. This guy, Yusuf Abuwazi. Good job, Taghdir.
So, question for tomorrow insha Allahuwata'ala.
There
is
an animal
that was accused of a crime that it
didn't commit. In the Quran. An animal was
accused of a crime that it didn't commit.
