So basically inshallah today, I'm gonna start with
a story
Everyone loves stories.
So basically
A story to a speech or to a
talk is just like spices to biryani.
Biryani without spices is nothing.
So basically everyone loves stories, it gives meaning
to the talk, and at the end of
the day, the only thing you would remember
from my talks is basically the stories. And
haftarulamayahporu
al Tasas
jundumijjudillah
They say that stories are among the sources
of Allah, because they go straight to your
heart, and this is something you can remember
and relate to other people. So everyone knows
the story of Adam alaihis salam when he
was in Jannah,
and he was surrounded by Malaika, free food,
life is good.
You don't have to pay taxes or GST
over there. Everything is amazing. The weather is
nice.
But Adam
was not happy, and Allah
created Hawa for him.
And some of my friends,
who are imams, some of them are evil,
were not malaika, basically, and and they told
me once that Adam and Eve were probably
the happiest married couple ever.
And the reason is they didn't have any
in laws. Right?
Which is could be true. But anyway,
they stayed in Jannah, and they had fruits,
everything, and Allah
told Adam in Hawa, you can eat from
all the trees except for this one.
But Adam alaihis salam, he made a mistake,
he ate from the tree
Yes, Adam alaihis salam made a mistake
Shaitan made a mistake. He refused to make
shajdah, but how come that Adam alaihis salam
was forgiven and shaitan was not forgiven? There's
only one
difference. And the difference is
Adam alaihis salam humbled himself and he made
his tafaa. He said, You Allah, I made
a mistake, forgive me. But shaitan, he tried
to play the games, oh, I'm better than
him. Why do I have to make shaddah?
And he tried to justify
and, you know, argue with Allah
Now so this is the point. One of
the best ways to get close to Allah
especially in the month of Ramadan
is istighfar,
Asking Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala for forgiveness,
and and this is not easy.
When you ask for forgiveness, if you do
something wrong to someone and you say sorry,
this is this is so difficult for a
lot of people. When When you humble yourself
before Allah and
say You Allah, I made a mistake, forgive
me.
You basically acknowledge that Allah
sees everything, he knows everything, and Allah
will hold you accountable,
and the door of forgiveness is always open.
Allah
is Al Ghafoor Rahim. So you basically acknowledge
the names of Allah when you ask Allah
forgive me, and also acknowledge that Allah is
1 because you don't ask anyone else for
forgiveness,
and Allah
is alive because you don't ask someone who
is dead to forgive you. So when you
say, you Allah forgive me, you acknowledge the
names of Allah
So now
When we talk about interactions between human beings
So what happens if I do something wrong?
How do many of us interact or how
do they behave?
Well, the first group, if they do something
wrong and and no one saw them, there's
no surveillance camera, no one was there, no
witnesses,
they would just pretend like they didn't do
anything. Right? So if someone says, okay, who
broke this vase?
Or who ate the hotel from the fridge?
And the culprit,
they lie. You ask them, did you do
this? No, I didn't. Not me. You know?
I didn't do it. So they lied. So
the first one, they pretended they didn't do
it. The second one will
lie or deny.
And the third one, they would blame it
with someone else.
You know, I came late for salah because
the, you know, the Imam is boring.
You know, they just justify.
You know, I ate the nutella because, you
know, the teacher told me if you eat
nutella, you'll be strong.
Whatever, you know?
And Shaitan did the same thing. He justified.
He said I can't make sujatul 'ara because
I'm better than him, you created me from
fire, he is from madh. Long story. You
know, so the reason Allah
forgave Adam
is because he humbled himself,
and he said I made a mistake, forgive
me, khalah's finished. You know?
And the same is true for other Prophets
in the Quran. Some of them, they did,
they made misjudgments
and shortcomings.
And every time they did something wrong, they
didn't do sins, they made small mistakes
or misjudgments
or shortcomings,
and some of them were before nubuwa, before
they became prophets, so they didn't know.
Right? But as soon as they found out
they did something wrong that they were not
supposed to do, they said, you Allah forgive
me. Forgive me. And Allah forgave them. So
now count me.
Suleyman alayhis salam, Khalaab Birfili
wahablimulkallayam
barili ahadimin Badi. So so Ayman alayhis salam
said I'm gonna do something, he didn't say
insha'Allah in Surasal,
and Allah, you know, said this is not
the proper way you should say insha'Allah. So
he said you Allah forgive me and grant
me a kingdom and authority
unmatched by anyone else.
So he made a misjudgment,
then he made tawba and not only he
made tawba, he said, You Allah forgive me,
he said give me an authority that is
unparalleled by anyone else till the end of
time. So Allah give him this power to
ask,
you know, he is coming from, you know,
down there making Tawbah, and he's saying Y
Allah, yes I made Tawbah, now give me
this. So he's asking Allah
for more. Adam
alayhi
wa
sallam made a mistake, he said, You Allah
forgive me. Allah forgave him, and he chose
him for his mercy
because he was humble. Musa alayhi wa sallam,
when he pushed a man, he made a
mistake and the man died,
and he said, qalaalab bi inni walam tu
nafsi faghfirli faghfarala
He said, You Allah, I made a mistake,
forgive me. And Allah
immediately, He forgave him. Faghfarala
means
right after, right away. Allah didn't delay.
Yunus
So he said You Allah, I made a
mistake. Forgive me. When he left the town
without permission,
he said You Allah forgive me. Allah
forgive him right away.
Nuh, alayhi salaam, when he was asked for
his son to be saved,
and Allah don't don't make the this dua.
Don't ask me for your son to be
saved because he's gonna drown his kafir, and
he said,
So he said, Dear Allah, I ask for
your forgiveness
for asking for my son to be saved.
If you don't forgive me, I'll be among
the losers, and Allah forgave him right after.
So this is what we need to do.
Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, he said and
we know that Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
was infallible of sins. He didn't commit any
sins. He was a prophet chosen by Allah
sallam
And he said in the authentic Hadith as
a Muslim,
Ayo An Nas
He said, Yeah. Ayo An Nas, all people,
make tawba, ask
to forgive you, because I myself,
I don't make any sense.
I'm, you know, I'm infallible, but still I
ask Allah for Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala for forgiveness
a 100 times every day. And if the
Prophet
who is sinless is asking for forgiveness a
100 times every day, what about me and
you? We make mistakes day and night. So
we should always ask Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
for forgiveness, and if you are sincere, Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala will forgive you. We ask
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala to forgive all of
us. Yes,
sir.
Yeah. How much Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala came
to him? Same thing. It was a misjudgment,
and the prophet
thought he was gonna finish with this man,
then he would give his attention, and Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala said, don't waste your time
with this man. He's not gonna believe anyway.
He should have given your undivided attention to
Abdul Abdul Muqtum.
There are several examples in the Quran.
So the question for last night, if someone
fasted the first half of Ramadan, 2 weeks,
and on 15th, the person was healthy, they
had a heart attack, and they died.
Who has to complete the month for him?
Who has to do the other 2, 2
weeks for him? Well, no one.
He died, he did whatever he could, and
he died, khalas. He doesn't no one has
to fast for him. But, if he was
sick in the month of Ramadan, and he
recovered after Ramadan, he owes Allah 30 days
of fasting, but he was lazy, he didn't
fast, then his family
have or has to to fast from
him. Just like they inherit, they take his
money, If he owes someone some money, they
have to give it, and also if he
owes Allah fasting, they have to fast on
his behalf. So there there is a difference
between the two cases. And the winner is
brother
Mustafa Al,
and Nasr? Abu Mahfuh. Abu Mahfuh? Right. After

Turkey to play a cricket game in Turkey,

Okay. Can they break their fast to play
cricket because they came from Pakistan all the
way to Turkey?
Can they or a soccer game? Can they
break their fast because they're playing a soccer
game? Because they're coming from one country to
another? If you know the answer, you mail
