So InshaAllah, I'll say briefly
in just a few minutes.
We'll talk about
the battle that takes place that takes place
in this month between human beings and Shaitan.
And the Most High
that shaitan is your open enemy in the
shaitan
He's your open enemy.
So what does shaitan does? Because
he wants to make you lose their reward
of your good deeds in this month, he
cannot stop you from fasting, from praying, from
giving saggai. Okay. Shaitan can. If you have
the intention,
if you have the asin, the result, he
cannot stop you. But he will try to
make you lose the reward.
So for example, in the gates of Salah,
Shaitan was told to make
before Adam, but he refused.
So he cannot stop you from making to
Allah.
You know? He is mad whenever the shaitan
sees you making to Allah. He goes crazy.
I refuse to make salatah to prostrate myself
to Allah. And look at this human being,
he's making salatah to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
salami is better than me. So what he
would do, he would whisper to you.
Whenever he's that in salah,
he would try to make you lose your
focus because he will not get a reward.
Oh, man. Do I have a wudu or
not
in the first
Or the shaitan will make you show off.
Oh, I go to the masjid. I pray
all the time. I'm better than anyone. You
will lose your reward.
With the case of fasting,
shaitan will come to you before Ramadan say
Ramadan is coming. Inshallah, Ramadan starts. You'll fast
all day, go to the masjid for tarawiyah,
cry all the time, and so on. Your
bank account of Hassanat, of good rewards will
be full.
So it doesn't matter if you do something
bad now because if you lose 1 year,
1 there, it's not a big big deal
because you'll have enough credit in your account.
And after Ramadan, he will do the same
thing. You did a wonderful job, man? Ramadan.
You were crying inshallah. You fasted every day,
but your bank account, the credit is full.
There's nothing wrong if you do it, you
say you ask here and there because you
have enough credit.
And maybe, maybe, I don't know, maybe
this is why the prophet
used to fast a lot in sha'ban before
Allah,
you know, in the month. And he used
to fast after Rahman in the month of
Shawan, at least the 6 days before and
after. So you tell shaitan, you know what?
I'm not listening to you. Okay. So this
is how the shaitan does it with a
fasting.
With,
charity,
it's even worse. The shaitan will come to
you and say,
you are gonna you wanna donate a $1,000
to the masjid men. You lost your land.
Who's gonna pay your bills? You know. Your
your children will be will be starving because
of you.
You're not in your mind, man. What's going
on? You worked hard for this money, and
you wanna just give it to this?
What is this?
There are so many other people who would
pay for the masjid.
Brother has a business. This family is rich.
He will pay. You don't worry about it.
You just take care of your family because
nobody's gonna take care of your family except
you.
And 10,000?
No. No. No. No. Make it $5, man.
$5 is good. So you pay your bills,
you put food on the table, you keep
your head above the book, and I'm doing
that. So this is what Shaytan does. And
Allah
said,
Shaytan
will terrify you
in terms of poverty. He will warn you.
He will make you afraid of poverty
if you give. But Allah
promises forgiveness from him and a greater reward.
In the The whispering of the shayba is
so weak
if you have a commitment and if you
have a result.
