So InshaAllah, I'll say briefly

00:00:47 --> 00:00:48

in just a few minutes.

00:00:49 --> 00:00:50

We'll talk about

00:00:50 --> 00:00:53

the battle that takes place that takes place

00:00:53 --> 00:00:55

in this month between human beings and Shaitan.

00:00:55 --> 00:00:56

And the Most High

00:00:58 --> 00:01:00

that shaitan is your open enemy in the

00:01:00 --> 00:01:01

shaitan

00:01:03 --> 00:01:04

He's your open enemy.

00:01:06 --> 00:01:08

So what does shaitan does? Because

00:01:08 --> 00:01:10

he wants to make you lose their reward

00:01:10 --> 00:01:12

of your good deeds in this month, he

00:01:12 --> 00:01:14

cannot stop you from fasting, from praying, from

00:01:14 --> 00:01:17

giving saggai. Okay. Shaitan can. If you have

00:01:17 --> 00:01:18

the intention,

00:01:18 --> 00:01:20

if you have the asin, the result, he

00:01:20 --> 00:01:22

cannot stop you. But he will try to

00:01:22 --> 00:01:24

make you lose the reward.

00:01:24 --> 00:01:26

So for example, in the gates of Salah,

00:01:27 --> 00:01:29

Shaitan was told to make

00:01:30 --> 00:01:32

before Adam, but he refused.

00:01:32 --> 00:01:34

So he cannot stop you from making to

00:01:34 --> 00:01:35

Allah.

00:01:36 --> 00:01:38

You know? He is mad whenever the shaitan

00:01:38 --> 00:01:41

sees you making to Allah. He goes crazy.

00:01:41 --> 00:01:44

I refuse to make salatah to prostrate myself

00:01:44 --> 00:01:46

to Allah. And look at this human being,

00:01:46 --> 00:01:48

he's making salatah to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

00:01:48 --> 00:01:50

salami is better than me. So what he

00:01:50 --> 00:01:52

would do, he would whisper to you.

00:01:53 --> 00:01:54

Whenever he's that in salah,

00:01:55 --> 00:01:56

he would try to make you lose your

00:01:56 --> 00:01:58

focus because he will not get a reward.

00:01:59 --> 00:02:01

Oh, man. Do I have a wudu or

00:02:01 --> 00:02:02

not

00:02:02 --> 00:02:03

in the first

00:02:24 --> 00:02:26

Or the shaitan will make you show off.

00:02:26 --> 00:02:28

Oh, I go to the masjid. I pray

00:02:28 --> 00:02:30

all the time. I'm better than anyone. You

00:02:30 --> 00:02:31

will lose your reward.

00:02:32 --> 00:02:34

With the case of fasting,

00:02:34 --> 00:02:36

shaitan will come to you before Ramadan say

00:02:36 --> 00:02:40

Ramadan is coming. Inshallah, Ramadan starts. You'll fast

00:02:40 --> 00:02:42

all day, go to the masjid for tarawiyah,

00:02:42 --> 00:02:44

cry all the time, and so on. Your

00:02:44 --> 00:02:47

bank account of Hassanat, of good rewards will

00:02:47 --> 00:02:48

be full.

00:02:48 --> 00:02:50

So it doesn't matter if you do something

00:02:50 --> 00:02:52

bad now because if you lose 1 year,

00:02:52 --> 00:02:54

1 there, it's not a big big deal

00:02:54 --> 00:02:56

because you'll have enough credit in your account.

00:02:57 --> 00:02:59

And after Ramadan, he will do the same

00:02:59 --> 00:03:01

thing. You did a wonderful job, man? Ramadan.

00:03:02 --> 00:03:04

You were crying inshallah. You fasted every day,

00:03:05 --> 00:03:08

but your bank account, the credit is full.

00:03:09 --> 00:03:10

There's nothing wrong if you do it, you

00:03:10 --> 00:03:12

say you ask here and there because you

00:03:12 --> 00:03:13

have enough credit.

00:03:14 --> 00:03:17

And maybe, maybe, I don't know, maybe

00:03:18 --> 00:03:19

this is why the prophet

00:03:20 --> 00:03:22

used to fast a lot in sha'ban before

00:03:22 --> 00:03:23

Allah,

00:03:23 --> 00:03:25

you know, in the month. And he used

00:03:25 --> 00:03:27

to fast after Rahman in the month of

00:03:27 --> 00:03:29

Shawan, at least the 6 days before and

00:03:29 --> 00:03:32

after. So you tell shaitan, you know what?

00:03:32 --> 00:03:34

I'm not listening to you. Okay. So this

00:03:34 --> 00:03:36

is how the shaitan does it with a

00:03:36 --> 00:03:37

fasting.

00:03:37 --> 00:03:38

With,

00:03:39 --> 00:03:39

charity,

00:03:40 --> 00:03:42

it's even worse. The shaitan will come to

00:03:42 --> 00:03:43

you and say,

00:03:43 --> 00:03:45

you are gonna you wanna donate a $1,000

00:03:46 --> 00:03:48

to the masjid men. You lost your land.

00:03:48 --> 00:03:51

Who's gonna pay your bills? You know. Your

00:03:51 --> 00:03:53

your children will be will be starving because

00:03:53 --> 00:03:54

of you.

00:03:55 --> 00:03:56

You're not in your mind, man. What's going

00:03:56 --> 00:03:59

on? You worked hard for this money, and

00:03:59 --> 00:04:00

you wanna just give it to this?

00:04:01 --> 00:04:02

What is this?

00:04:02 --> 00:04:04

There are so many other people who would

00:04:04 --> 00:04:05

pay for the masjid.

00:04:06 --> 00:04:08

Brother has a business. This family is rich.

00:04:08 --> 00:04:10

He will pay. You don't worry about it.

00:04:10 --> 00:04:12

You just take care of your family because

00:04:12 --> 00:04:15

nobody's gonna take care of your family except

00:04:15 --> 00:04:15

you.

00:04:16 --> 00:04:17

And 10,000?

00:04:17 --> 00:04:19

No. No. No. No. Make it $5, man.

00:04:20 --> 00:04:22

$5 is good. So you pay your bills,

00:04:22 --> 00:04:24

you put food on the table, you keep

00:04:24 --> 00:04:26

your head above the book, and I'm doing

00:04:26 --> 00:04:28

that. So this is what Shaytan does. And

00:04:28 --> 00:04:28

Allah

00:04:29 --> 00:04:29

said,

00:04:31 --> 00:04:31

Shaytan

00:04:32 --> 00:04:34

will terrify you

00:04:34 --> 00:04:37

in terms of poverty. He will warn you.

00:04:37 --> 00:04:39

He will make you afraid of poverty

00:04:40 --> 00:04:42

if you give. But Allah

00:04:42 --> 00:04:45

promises forgiveness from him and a greater reward.

00:05:44 --> 00:05:46

In the The whispering of the shayba is

00:05:46 --> 00:05:47

so weak

00:05:47 --> 00:05:49

if you have a commitment and if you

00:05:49 --> 00:05:49

have a result.
