00:00:22 --> 00:00:23
			One proof
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:26
			for me as a imam that the Shayateen
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:27
			are chained in Ramadan
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:29
			is the fact that no one is coming
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:31
			to the Masjid for divorce
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:31
			in
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:35
			Ramadan. This is, seriously, Allah. Before Ramadan, they
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:38
			gave, like, every 5 minutes, divorce, divorcing.
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:41
			And I don't like the d word, divorce.
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:22
			The way that the shaytan will keep you
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:24
			away from the path of Allah
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:26
			2 ways.
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:30
			Number 1, he will underestimate
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:33
			the sin or your sins, and number 2,
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:34
			he will overestimate
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:36
			your sins.
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:37
			How?
		
00:01:57 --> 00:02:01
			So he makes the sin looks very tiny
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:02
			in your eyes
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:05
			by showing you that all people make bigger
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:06
			sins than yours,
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:09
			or by showing you that all people are
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:11
			simple like you, or you are even better
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:14
			than them. And in this case, you don't
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:15
			think I mean, there's
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:47
			The prophet salaam in the authentic hadith, he
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:48
			used to say,
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:50
			oh mankind,
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:53
			make tawbah to Allah and ask Allah for
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:56
			His forgiveness, for I make istifar and tawbah
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:57
			to Allah
		
00:02:57 --> 00:03:00
			a 100 times every day.
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:03
			So who has more right to make Istifar
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:05
			to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala? You or the
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:06
			prophet who
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:07
			has no sins?
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:10
			His past and future sins are forgiven, as
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:13
			Allah says in the fu'an, You fialalakkal babu
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:14
			malakatamamin
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:16
			them become malakha. So
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:18
			this is the first way.
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:44
			So
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:56
			this is the second way. He will overestimate
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:58
			your sins. He will say, you have a
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:01
			lot of sins, and your sins are bigger
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:03
			than the mercy of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:05
			So this is how some people think.
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:08
			They are not coming to the Masjid because
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:10
			they used to drink or chase women or
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:11
			do this or
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:13
			stuff.
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:15
			Weed and joints and
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:18
			exchange marijuana and all the good stuff. Okay?
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:19
			So
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:22
			He will keep you away from Allah Subhanahu
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:24
			Wa'ala and He will tell you, He will
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:26
			whisper to you, no matter how hard you
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:28
			try to repent or get close to Allah
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:29
			Subhanahu
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:31
			Allah will never forgive you.
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:35
			So what does Allah say? Okay. Don't listen
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:36
			to the shaitan. Listen to Allah
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:38
			What does he say?
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:04
			Say, oh, my servants,
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:07
			who have exceeded the limits in sinning and
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:09
			disobeying Allah Subhanahu Wa'ala,
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:13
			Don't you ever lose mercy or lose hope
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:15
			in the mercy of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:17
			He forgives all sins. He is the most
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:19
			forgiving, most merciful.
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:39
			The prophet, sallallahu alaihi wa sallam,
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:43
			says in an authentic hadith, they're written by
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:45
			Abu Burbeir, by Anas ibn Malik, and it
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:46
			is in Sahih Tabmili
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:49
			that Allah says so in Zafutsi Hadith,
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:51
			O mankind,
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:52
			If your sins
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:56
			fill the distance between the heavens and earth
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:58
			and you ask for my forgiveness,
		
00:05:58 --> 00:06:00
			I will forgive you. So this is what
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:01
			Allah says.
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:46
			In this hadith, in Al Tabarani,
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:49
			there is my Abu Waibullah, the
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:50
			prophet
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:52
			says that Allah
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:54
			will shower
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:57
			his mercy and his grace and his forgiveness
		
00:06:57 --> 00:06:58
			from the day of judgement
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:02
			so much so that even the shaitan would
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:04
			have hope in his heart that Allah Subhanahu
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:07
			Wa Ta'ala will forgive them. Pig me. Pig
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:07
			me.
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:10
			Because Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is forgiving people.
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:35
			In this hadith,
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:37
			the prophet
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:39
			says that on the day of judgment, Allah
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:42
			will bring a servant of his forth
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:44
			for judgment.
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:45
			Then Allah
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:48
			will show him the record of his minor
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:50
			sins and he will keep away
		
00:08:50 --> 00:08:53
			the record of major sins.
		
00:08:54 --> 00:08:55
			Then he will look at his sins and
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:56
			say Allah
		
00:08:57 --> 00:08:59
			will ask him, do you deny or reject
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:01
			any of these sins? You haven't committed any
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:03
			of these sins? He say, no, Allah. I
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:05
			have committed everything. I admit.
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:06
			I confess.
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:08
			Then Allah
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:10
			will say, is there any sins that are
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:11
			missing from your records?
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:15
			He knows that he committed horrible sins, but
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:17
			he says, oh, Allah, everything is here. That
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:20
			is enough. It's enough to take me okay.
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:21
			Okay. That's good.
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:22
			Then Allah
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:26
			will say, today I'll shower My mercy on
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:29
			you and I'll forgive you. Maybe the servant
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:31
			made tawba before his death, and this is
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:32
			the reason why Allah
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:35
			is forgiving him. Then Allah
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:37
			will tell him, that's all for you. You
		
00:09:37 --> 00:09:39
			are going to Jannah. So this servant will
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:42
			make the calculation in its head when Allah
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:45
			told him that I'm changing your my sins
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:46
			into good deeds.
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:48
			So he will say, oh, Allah, wait a
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:51
			minute, wait a minute, there are major sins
		
00:09:51 --> 00:09:52
			that are not here.
		
00:09:52 --> 00:09:53
			Somebody
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:55
			what's going on? Somebody forgot to put my
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:57
			major sins in this book because
		
00:09:57 --> 00:09:58
			he knows if Allah turns them into good
		
00:09:58 --> 00:10:01
			deeds, he will go to the highest place
		
00:10:01 --> 00:10:03
			in Jannj. When the Prophet narrated this hadith,
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:04
			he smiled,
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:09
			and the Sahaba smiled. That's Allah Subhanahu Wa
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:10
			Ta'ala.
		
00:10:14 --> 00:10:14
			The
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:20
			question for yesterday was, if you come in
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:21
			Taweel,
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:24
			can you make the intentions of Aisha in
		
00:10:24 --> 00:10:26
			prayer Aisha with the iman who's praying Tawhid
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:29
			to Rahaz? Can you pray Aisha to Rahaz?
		
00:10:29 --> 00:10:30
			The answer is yes.
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:31
			Yes.
		
00:10:31 --> 00:10:34
			And the winner for today is sister Aisha
		
00:10:34 --> 00:10:36
			Ali. Is there anyone to take the words
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:37
			for her?
		
00:10:51 --> 00:10:52
			A question for today.
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:56
			Some Imams are mizdah,
		
00:10:56 --> 00:10:59
			okay, in the salah. The imam is mizdah,
		
00:10:59 --> 00:10:59
			completed.
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:02
			So the imam is praying Rishab.
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:05
			After the second tashawat in the 4th rak'ah,
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:07
			the imam stood up for a 5th rak'ah,
		
00:11:08 --> 00:11:10
			and the people are reminding him, Subhanallah, Subhanallah,
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:12
			and he is not listening. What should you
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:14
			do? What should you do in this case?
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:15
			Yaani
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:16
			lawwil imam
