Mustafa Khattab – Ramadan Reminders Dont Be A Loser

This is a very special time. It's the

best time to get close to Allah

So I'm gonna start with this authentic hadith

from Muhammad salaam.

The narrator of the hadith, it's an authentic

hadith. He said that the prophet salaam claimed

the member one

day. The first step, he said, amil.

And when he took the second one, he

said amil. When he took the third one,

he said amil.

So after he finished, the Sahaba said, You

Rasulullah, why did you say amil 3 times?

He said because Jibril,

angel Gabriel, came to me the first time,

and he said that whoever witnesses the month

of Ramadan, whoever is present during Ramadan and

they don't get their sins forgiven, they are

losers. And I said ami.

It's true. Then I took the second step,

and Jibreel Alaihi Salam said,

whoever has 2 parents or one of them,

and they don't give that person to Jannah,

then this person is a loser. Because if

your parents are alive or one of them,

then

you are not nice to them. You are

not kind to them. They don't make dua

for you. Then you are a loser because

no one loves you more than your parents.

No one would care about you ever than

your parents.

He said, yes. My mother is alive. So

the prophet said,

Hadith is in, Muslim, Sahin al Sahih.

The prophet

told him, stick to her feet

yeah, and serve her. Be good to her

because Jannah is right there under her feet.

The 3rd time, the prophet told him,

Jibril Alaihi Salam said, whoever hears your name,

you Muhammad, and doesn't give you peace and

salam, then this person is a loser. So

when you hear the name Muhammad,

you say, alayhi salam, may Allah shower his

peace and mercy, Muhammad,

then whoever doesn't say it is is what?

He's a loser. So the prophet salaam alayhi

wa sallam said ami. Why?

Because when you give salam to the prophet

salaam alayhi wa sallam and ask Allah to

shower his mercy on him, then Allah subhanahu

wa a'ala himself

will give you 10 salam back. And if

Allah gives you salaam, He showers His rahma

on you, then khalas,

jannah, first class.

So this is the easiest way. So the

month of Ramadan is very special. Why? Because

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala makes it super easy

for you to get close to Him.

We pray a Bhu 2, 3 minutes ago.

We know from the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa

sallam, if you pray Farf like Bhu namaz,

then you get the reward for 70 Bhu.

Now you pray it, you got the reward

for 70 Bhu.

If you pray it to aqa as sunnah

after daw, you get the reward of Afar,

like the dawras, man revelation.

If you, for example,

make Ummrah in Ramadan, you will get the

reward of Hajj. We know this from the

hadith.

If you give Zakkha or Sanaka at Ramadan,

the reward is multiplied more times than any

other time of the year. And this is

why Mohammed salaam was exceptionally

generous, kareem,

all year long,

but he was very very generous in the

month of Ramadan.

We know that the shayateen are chained.

We know that the Jannah is wide open,

and we know that jahannam the doors to

jahannam are closed. Okay. Someone will say, okay.

If the shayateen are chained,

how how come that some people kill in

the month of Rama?

Some people steal in the month of Rama.

Some people lie. Some people commit zina. So

it means shayateen are loose. Right?

So the meaning of the hadith, the alhamah,

they explain this hadith

in different ways. They say that the big

shayateen are chained, but the small ones are

loose.

Or the Quran always talks about 2 types

of shayateen. There are the Jigni shayateen,

and there are the human shayateen.

So the jinni shalateen are easy to deal

with. If you say, awwutu billahimna shaytaanalajeem

or ayah kursi, they run away from you.

But for the human shalateen, if you give

them ayah kursi,

the human shalateen will give you the tafsir

of it. They don't run away.

And they are around you all the time.

Some you call friends. Some you call brothers.

How do you know them? Every time you

try to do something good, they say, no.

No. No. No. Don't waste your time. And

every time you try to do something bad,

they say, oh, let's go. No problem. Masha'Allah.

Let's go. I'm with you.

So these are the human shayateen. So the

jinnish shayateen, they are chained in the month

of Ramadan,

but the human shayateen, they are all over

the place. You save them wherever you go,

in the street, in the market, in the

store. They're everywhere.

Right?

So this is the first ex second explanation.

The the third one,

we know that

yourself in nafs

always motivates you to do what is wrong.

Even if the shayateen are chained,

but their influence is still there. And your

nafs always motivates you to do something wrong

because you like to do certain things. Allah

wants you to do the right thing to

do to go to Jannah, but yourself

is overwhelmed sometimes with desires, and we're human

beings, and we make mistakes.

So if you make forgiveness in this month,

Allah will accept you.

If you recite the Quran, you will get

very close to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. You

pray taweeh, you go to Jannah. You fast,

you go to Jannah. This is the reward

mentioned in the hadith of the prophet sallallahu

alaihi wa sallam. And as I mentioned last

time, last night in the taweeh,

Dua is very, very special in the month

of Ramadan, and this is one of the

ways to get very close to Allah,

especially Dua when you are fasting. The prophet

said, there are 3 people whose Dua is

never rejected.

One of them is the person who is

fasting. Every time you make dua, there is

a guarantee that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will

accept.

Also, when you look at the Quran, as

we said last night, the ayah that talk

about Ramadan in Surah Baqarah,

ayah number 86, the ayah before and the

ayah after.

There is an ayah in the middle that

talks about dua. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, whenever

my servants ask you Muhammad about me,

I am nearby. I'm close to them. I

will always answer this dua. The ayah before,

the ayah after they talk about the month

of Ramadan. So there is a reason why

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala put this ayah right

there to show you that Ramadan is a

very special time. You need to make a

lot of dua. And as I said, if

you want to to become rich,

billionaire with hasanat in the month of Ramadan,

always make dua for Muslims.

Everyone that alone forgive them and give them

Jannah. The prophet

says in the hadith, whoever makes dua for

Muslims,

Allah

will give him or her one hasala for

every Muslim they make dua for. So if

you say, you Allah, forgive all Muslims in

the world, you Allah, give them Jannah, give

them the shafa'ah, Muhammad

give them the reward for their fasting and

qiyam and salah, then Allah

will give you the reward for every Muslim,

which means 1,600,000,000

hasanats.

Right? And it takes less than 10 seconds.

So whoever doesn't take advantage of all these

good things that I mentioned, which are very

easy, it doesn't take a lot of effort

from you, then this person is a loser

as the prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam said.

We ask Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, to help

us fast in the best way, and we

ask Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, to give us

the reward in the adhah, and we ask

Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, to make us enter

through the door of Rayyan in Jannah, and

we ask Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, to give

us the firdaus al a'ala, and the shafa'a,

and

to give us from his hands to drink

from Al Khosaf.
