00:00:16 --> 00:00:19
			This is my first Ramadan here in Canada,
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:20
			and this is the longest
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:22
			or these are the longest days I've ever
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:23
			fasted.
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:24
			And,
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:26
			before the beginning of the month, I was
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:27
			so scared.
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:31
			I never I never thought I would survive
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:32
			till the end of the month, but here
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:33
			I am.
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:34
			And,
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:38
			I remember
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:40
			the story I mentioned of the lord. One
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:42
			of the brothers in South Carolina, that
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:47
			was, like, 2 years ago, the night foresighting
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:49
			the moon. The news didn't came, you know,
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:51
			didn't come yet. At that point, at 9th
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:52
			29th,
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:54
			so he came to me, Sheikh, and he
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:57
			said, please, imam. Please, imam. Make dahi tomorrow.
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:59
			If I fast another day, I will die.
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:02
			Please, let me go. I said, come on,
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:04
			man. I I don't have to control for
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:06
			the moon in my hand, like,
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:08
			what is this? And those guys,
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:11
			they fasted almost 3 hours
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:13
			less than idly.
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:16
			What about you? Your heroes, Abdul Masha'Allah.
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:19
			So we ask Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala to
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:21
			bless you and your family, to accept all
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:23
			your good deeds, and to give you the
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:26
			best in this life and the best in
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:27
			the life to come and meet.
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:29
			As to muhuhadith wahadif wahadif wahadif wahadif wahadif
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:30
			wahadif wahadif wahadif wahadif wahadif wahadif wahadif wahadif
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:31
			wahadif wahadif wahadif wahadif wahadif wahadif wahadif wahadif
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:31
			wahadif wahadif wahadif wahadif wahadif wahadif wahadif wahadif
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:32
			wahadif wahadif wahadif wahadif wahadif.
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:06
			That by Ummah,
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:10
			the Muslims have been given 5 qualities in
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:11
			the month of Ramadan.
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:13
			No other nation has ever been given.
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:27
			So the first quality, the prophet says,
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:29
			if it is the 1st night of the
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:31
			month of Ramadan and Allah
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:34
			will look at those who fast And whomever
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:37
			Allah looks at, he will never punch.
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:48
			The second quality,
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:50
			the breath of the fasting person
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:53
			is more beloved to Allah is,
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:57
			sweeter than or, sweeter than the, the smell
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:58
			of musk in the sight of Allah subhanahu
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:00
			wa ta'ala. So this is number 2.
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:28
			The 4th,
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:31
			Allah will order Jannah and say, get ready.
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:32
			Get ready.
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:34
			Because my servants are about to move to
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:37
			you, they will be relieved from the pain
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:39
			and the suffering of this world, and they
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:41
			will move to my kalama
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:42
			and my house, my hospitality.
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:53
			The first quality, the prophet
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:54
			says,
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:56
			when it is the last night of Ramadan,
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:59
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will forgive all Muslims,
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:01
			those who fasted and those who have done
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:04
			their best in this month. So I ask
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:06
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to make us among
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:09
			those who have fasted properly, they're praying properly,
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:11
			and they have given their charities and zakat,
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:12
			and Allah
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:14
			will ask all your good deeds. Amen.
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:17
			We have been talking throughout the month about
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:19
			the things that bring you closer to Allah
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:21
			We have given,
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:25
			10 about 20 or 30, 10 minute talks
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:27
			throughout the month. You have them available on
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:30
			YouTube. You just dive closer to Allah, and
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:32
			you can watch all these,
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:36
			classes and those, tips and those pieces of
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:38
			advice. And they will help you to get
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:41
			closer to Allah all year long. My advice
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:43
			to you, keep up the good work after
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:44
			the month of Ramadan.
