Mustafa Khattab – Muslim Manners 19 Knowledge III Ramadan 2012

So the reason why some Muslims don't feel

or taste the sweetness of rebalah

is because rebalah for them is a burden.

It's a burden on their shoulders.

So, for example, salah is a burden, and

this is what Allah says in the Quran.

It's a burden on those who don't have

kushur and don't have tafar. It's very hard

for them.

So, for example, the Imam Ghisayi said, It's

an extra aya. It's the end of the

world for them. Sign a petition. Fire fire

the shayf. Get somebody else.

Or

if it is Ramadan, they pray all month

long that Ramadan this year would be 25

days only.

And I gave this story of 1 of

the brothers who were in South Carolina,

28th, and we were we were starting the

moon to see if tomorrow is April or

the day after tomorrow. And the brother

fell down on his knees in the masjid,

and he said, brother, I beg you. Please,

let me kiss your hands. Please, big daddy,

tomorrow I can't fast anymore. Enough.

So when we actually saw the moon and

we said that tomorrow is 8, he was

dancing in the masjid. He was so happy.

Zakat, why 2.5%,

man? Make it 2.3%.

Why?

It's always like this. So Ibadah is difficult

and, you know, except for those who understand

the value of Ibadah. So in this case,

they love it. It's a a source of

comfort and relief for them.

So the salah was a sort of comfort

and a source of relief for the prophet

salah. So every time he told Bilal radiAllahu

anhu to make the Kaaba to pray, he

told he told him,

make a kamal, give us relief through salah.

And another hadith, when it was difficult for

the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam or whenever

he was overwhelmed

with difficulties,

he sought relief in salah. This this is

what the Hadith say.

Also, Ibadah was a way of showing gratitude

and thanks to Allah

So even Khaleem Bukhari Muslim, when the prophet

used to pray at night until his feet

were swollen, and Aisha

would say, oh, brother, you don't have to

do all this. Your past and future, everything

is forgiven. He would say, should I not

be a grateful servant to Allah? So imanah

was a way of showing gratitude.

When the prophet came out of Khalif, the,

Muslim of Zimazat,

and

the soomu

zakatul jeseb.

So fasting is a source of showing gratitude

to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. 1, because he

made it easy for you to fast. There

are a lot of people who are old,

they can't fast. A lot of people who

are sick, they can't fast. Some people passed

away,

they died,

they didn't fast.

Some Muslims

don't fast, they are not practicing their religion.

Some kuffar or kuffar, they don't fast. So

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala honored you by allowing

you to fast, making it easy for you

to fast.

Also, when you fast, you feel or you

have the feeling of the poor and the

homeless and the needy. They don't feel, eat

any time they feel like to. When you

eat iftar at Marik and you eat all

the chicken sukhaar, beef sukhaar, biryani and all

the good food.

Some people

don't have this kind of

good light.

They fast during the day and they fast

during the night. There's nothing to eat.

So when you fast, remember the name of

Allah

and show gratitude and thanks because you are

better than so many people. You are one

of the chosen few.

So we conclude with this story about Salah.

It was time it was in the Taraweeh

so the Imam looked at the people and

he says straighten your lines fill all the

gaps. So these 2 brothers they stood next

to each other and they hated each other.

So they left a big gap between them.

So the imam keeps telling them fill in

the gaps, close the gaps. And they didn't

listen to him. The imam said I'm not

gonna start the salah until you fill in

the gaps. They said, no. They pretended they

didn't hear him. So the imam said, brothers,

if you don't close the gaps, the shaitan

will come and pray in between you. And

he said it like 50 times. 1 of

them, he got so mad, Steam was coming

out of his and he said, listen, imam.

Listen.

Why do you hate the shaitan too much?

Let him come and pray with us. May

Allah will give him a day. Guide us.
