Today is the 20th
day of the month of Ramadan.
Only 10 days are left, and I'm calling
the top 10 the top 10 days in
the month of Ramadan.
Tomorrow, inshallah, at 2 PM in Najib, I'm
giving a talk about how to maximize your
hasalat in the last
10 days 10 nights of Ramadan. So make
sure, inshallah, you have your time. Please come.
The biggest problem that some people have in
relation to committing,
sins or not doing,
good deeds is delay.
Proc
procrastination.
I hate this word.
Procrastination.
Delaying. Not doing something good very soon, but
delaying. Taking a lot of time.
So I'm I'm a candidate is that yeah.
I mean, fatahasafhadeena,
may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala fill up an
activity in this, masha'Allah,
So some people,
they come for fresh every day in Ramadan,
although the night is very short. In the
wintertime, the night gets very long. You sleep
for, what, 17 hours? But still they don't
come.
Because for them, Ramadan is special.
Some people call them Ramadan Muslims, and I
don't like the name.
Some people, they quit doing evil in Ramadan.
They don't smoke.
They don't look at the Haram. They don't
listen to the Haram. They don't say the
Haram. So what is wrong if you keep
up the good work after Ramadan? Do you
do it exclusively for Ramadan?
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is the Lord of
Ramadan, and He is the Lord of all
months.
If you do it only for Ramadan, don't
do it. If you do it,
nirabbil aarmeen for the sake of Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala, then you have to do it
all year long.
You have to make tawbah to Allah Subhanahu
Wa'ala. If you delay in making tawbah, you
have also to make another tawbah for delay.
So you don't delay. If you intend to
do something good, you have to do it
right away. In the story of Kaab ibn
Malik,
radiAllahu anhu, the companion of the prophet sahabi,
the prophet sahabi started a campaign to protect
the Muslims at that time. So Kaab was
ready.
He was healthy.
He was rich. And he said, I will
go with the Prophet
but, inshallah, I will do it tonight after
tomorrow at 2:30 PM, the day after at
7 PM, and he never made it.
Then the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam has
criticized him when he came back, and you
know the story. They were guikatib by Muslims
for some time until the verses in Surat
Tawbah were revealed.
The same is also true for not doing
something evil. If you want to quit something
like smoking,
why don't you do it right away? If
you are able to do it in Ramadan,
why don't you do it right after Ramadan?
Why do you have to wait for 2,
3 years after?
So don't do like this guy. He's a
singer in Egypt.
His name is Shaban,
and he, in a famous song in in
in Egypt, he was saying,
Insha'Allah, I will quit smoking,
and I'll be a changed man, not today,
but in January.
These are the lyrics of the song.
And sure enough, before January came, he was
imprisoned for smoking Hashish.
The question for yesterday was,
a woman has to observe 'iddah after divorce.
In some cases, in fift,
a man also has to observe 'iddah, which
means he is not allowed to get married
after divorcing his wife until the passing of
3 months, or in case his ex
is, pregnant until she delivers. There are several
cases. I'll give you just one.
If someone divorces his wife and his intention
is to marry her sister,
he has to wait till the end of
the Adnah of his wife. It is not
permissible for him to marry her sister while,
in the Adnah. And there are several cases,
but that is enough. The winner for today
is sister
Maysam Khali. Naysam Khali.
Anyone here to take the reward on her
behalf?
No one? K. Nala, okay. I'll take it.
So,
Alhamdulillah, the question was very tough. And last
night and today, I got more answers than
almost
the other days of the month combined. So
the people, Alhamdulillah, they took up the challenge.
Today's question is also tough.
We know that when you pray behind the
imam,
When you pray in Jannah with the imam,
you have to pray behind the imam. But
there is one case
where you actually if the imam prays
face to face with some people who are
praying actually behind him, but he can actually
see them. They pray face to face. Why
is that case? If you know the answer,
it may be before tomorrow [email protected].
