Then you finish inshallah. You have 1 hour
for Sahar will be delivered. So salah with
a 100, 10 minutes before 2 o'clock in
Kabul till the end of the month.
Second one, the, the area. Of course, the
sisters have 2 areas to pray. The area
upstairs, and this is for the sisters who
don't have kids with them. The one downstairs,
this is reserved for the sisters with kids.
So if you decide to take your kids
upstairs, make sure you keep them next to
you inshallah.
And don't leave your kids downstairs and go
pray upstairs
between us and Shaytan in this month. Yes.
We know in the hadith that the Shayateen
are chained in this month,
but, of course, there are a lot of
different interpretations for this hadith because, yes, the
Shayateen are chained,
but how come some people steal and kill
and commit zina in the month of Ramadan?
How come? Because shayateen are chained. So there
on the map, like, Imam Khortubi, they say,
yes, the big ones are chained, but the
small ones are running around.
Or, for example, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala speaks
about the jinni shaateen and the human shaateen.
So the jinni shaateen are chained, but the
human shaateen are all over the place. What
is the difference? The jinni shaitan,
you can't say,
they run away. If you say,
they run away. The human shaitin, you say,
you give them, they give you the tasir
of it. They don't run away. Totally different.
They are hard to deal with, and they
are
everywhere. They're in your house. They go with
you to school. They're going to to you
for work, and they always encourage you to
do haram. This is how you know that
there are human shahatin.
So, also, we know that the human shayateen
are chained, but maybe your nafs is always
with you. So it's up to you. If
you want to chain your shaytad and Ramadan,
Allah will make it easy for you. If
you want to give the shaytad and loose
running around, it's up to you. You have
the key in your hand. So there is
this big battle between you and shaitan in
the month of Ramadan. It's a big battleground.
You will not be able to win without
the help of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
So what does the shaitan do?
Shaitan is mad every time you do a
bada.
Why? Because he himself, like in the case
of salah, he was told to make sharda.
He said, no, sorry. I can't.
When he sees you making sharda, he goes
crazy. Steam is coming out of his head.
Right?
He's not told that he's not very happy.
How come that Allah told me to make?
I refuse, and Allah is telling us to
make
He's
he's not happy.
So what does he do? Shaitan has a
lot of tricks.
So number 1, he will let you make
salah. He will let you make fasting,
do Umrah Ramadan, but you will lose your
reward at the end. For example, in the
case of salah, we know that we get
the reward based on our focus, fushur, in
the salah. So the prophet
says in the authentic hadith, if you focus
half the time, you get half the reward.
If you focus 25% of the time, you
get 25% of the reward. So shaitan will
keep you busy in this month,
in salah.
So for example, as I mentioned in the
purpa in the first rakah, shaitan will come
to you and he will say, hey brother,
did you make udu or not?
So the whole rakah, you are thinking about
udu, do I have udu or not? Because
if I don't, my salah is not accepted.
Then at the end of the rakah,
you remember, yes, I slipped in the washroom,
I fell down. Yes, I dropped my iPhone.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I made rudu, of course.
By the time you remember, it is 2nd
rakah already, and Shaitan will say, hello.
Because you were busy thinking about wudu in
the first rakah, did you even say Fatiha
in the first rakah?
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I remember because by the
time I finished Fatiha and the Imam recites
a surah in between, I count how much
I sold at my store. So, yeah, I
remember. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I of course.
Is 3rd rakah already in shaitan will come
to you, okay. Is this the 3rd rakah
or the 4th rakah? Because you're thinking about
wudu, you're thinking about money, you're thinking about
badah.
So by the time you finish your salah,
you feel like you are not getting any
awards at all. So shaitan makes you miserable.
This shaitan will come at the end and
say, hello. Hey, buddy. You know, this shaitan
this salah doesn't count
because you are thinking about this and about
that. There's no for sure and no reward.
So my advice to you, because you're wasting
your time and energy,
don't make salah.
Wait until, masha Allah, go to Darulh Abu
in Pakistan, or go to Al Azhar in
Egypt, or go to Istanbul, get a fishdee
in salah.
And once you come back, inshallah, you make
salah 5 minutes before you die. Go for
Hajj alhamdulillah. So
shaytan is playing games with you. Make salah
regardless.
Even if salah is missed up, just make
salah and Allah
will help you overcome the shaitan.
Some of us wake up the whole night
of Ramadan playing cards, playing video games, talking
at Tim Hortons.
You can't sleep. It's hard to sleep.
5 minutes before Adhanu version.
You never know. Believe me, if you have
sleepless nights, don't take sleeping pills. Right? Don't
take sleeping pills. What happens
just think about making salah, you will fall
asleep right away. It works all the time.
I drive before, so it works. And
fasting, for example, shaitan would come to you
before Ramadan. Inshallah,
Ramadan, you are gonna be fasting for 30
days or 35. Who knows?
You'll be standing in Taraweeh.
20 rakah, 50 rakah. Who knows?
You'll be crying in salah, there will be
a pool of tears under you, who knows?
Right? You will have a lot of credit
in your bank account of Hasarat, so there's
nothing wrong if you do something wrong here
and there. And he will do the same
thing after Ramadan, nay, Masha Allah, you you
you did a fantastic job in Ramadan.
You were there in the masjid everyday.
When they tried to shut down the masjid
at the end of the day because they
wanted to go home, you didn't want to
leave. They were, you know, grabbing your legs.
You didn't want to leave. You were tearing
the carpet. They had to call the police.
They you know. Masha Allah. You did a
fantastic job.
And the Imam was reciting
Aisha for 10 minutes, and you're complaining. Okay.
Make it long. Make it long. We want
a lot of Hasanat.
So you have a lot of credit now.
There's nothing wrong if you do something wrong
here and there. Alhamdulillah, you have a lot
to cover.
Maybe this is why if the Prophet
used to fast in the month of Shaba'al
before Ramadan, and used to fast in Shawwal
the 6 days after Ramadan. Who knows? Maybe.
Allahu'an.
In zakah, shaitan will come to you. Are
you gonna give your zakah in Ramadan? You
lost your mind? Who is gonna pay for
your kids? Who is gonna pay for the
bills? Who is gonna pay for their rent,
the gas, the insurance, the shopping, all these
things? So shaitan plays all these games with
you.
Right? To keep you away from Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala. He will tell
you, forget about the masjid.
Brother Asim will pay, brother Ibrahim will pay,
brother Mohammed will pay. Many people will pay,
but who is gonna pay your bills? Who's
gonna pay your rent? Forget about the Masjid.
These are the tricks of the shaitan.
So one way is to make you lose
the reward for your good deeds.
The sincerity is not there, the focus is
not there. Another way of shaitan
is
to try to
tazim. To make things appealing to you. Like,
he will make the yanihi the first one,
he will try to keep you away from
the good, and when it comes to the
bad value, he's gonna make it look good
to you. Yeah. He say, for example,
dealing with something ham. Saying, for example, beer
and,
pork at your store.
Shaitan will say, what's wrong with that? We
are in Canada. We are Kufa. You can't
sell it to them.
And he will say, well, everyone is doing
it. There's nothing wrong. You know? So Shaitan
will pray these tricks with you. He will
try to make the wrong appealing to you.
And he will say, dating, what's wrong? You
know, you're not gonna do anything wrong. You'll
go out with the girl. You will just
talk. You'll go home. Nothing wrong.
Next time,
take her to Tim Hortons, nothing wrong. Friends,
man, friends. Drink tea,
French vanilla, go home. Next time,
go to the movies. You know, first couple
of times nothing happened, go to the movies.
Now go to Vancouver together.
After 6, 7 months, the sister is pregnant,
big problem.
So one thing will lead to another, and
this is why I know this is, scary,
Lot of people don't like this, but this
is the fact. Every time Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala is warning us against shaitan,
He doesn't say don't commit zina. He doesn't
say don't
do this, don't do that. He says don't
come close to
take for example,
don't come close to indecencies.
Don't come close to zina. He doesn't say
don't fornicate. He said don't come close
to the things that will lead to fornication.
When Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala was talking to
Adam, and I'll conclude with this inshallah.
He didn't tell him, don't eat from the
tree. What did he tell him?
Don't come close to the tree. Don't come
close because we know
once you come close, Shaitan will play with
your head and eventually you will eat. So
if we assume for example that this is
the tree
oh, Adam here.
Okay. So this is the tree.
Yeah.
And Allah
told Adam,
don't eat from the tree. Do you think
when Shaitan,
you know, tried to play with Adam, alayhis
salam, do you think Adam, alayhis salam, went
ahead and he just ate from the tree?
No. So the first day, he was, like,
10 feet
away. Nothing happened. He left. Then he came
closer, nothing happened. He left. He touched the
tree. Nothing happened.
Very good leaves.
Nothing happened.
He smelled the fruit. Nothing
happened. Then after a week, 10 days, he
ate. And this is why Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala told him, don't come close to it.
And this is the trick that shayba does
with us all the time. We ask Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. Yeah. Allah, beloved. Good tree.
Shaitan. Shaitan. I forgot the story of the
shaitan in salah.
I'll conclude with this, don't shoot.
There there was an iman like myself,
Salabu Taawi, like this one,
and, the imam said, okay, stand up for
Salaatul Taawi.
So there were 2 brothers,
they stood next to each other, and they
were not talking to each other. They hated
each other. Right?
Because of a business or something. So when
they came next to each other, they left
a gap. And shayta and sorry. The imam
was telling them,
get close to each other, because when you
get close to other, the prophet says, there
is Zahmah between you. They said, okay. They
didn't care. They said, brother, don't leave the
gap between you. If you don't fill this
gap, get close to each other. It was
a small gap. You can't fill you can't
someone cannot come from the second line.
So the Imam said,
if you don't get close to each other,
I'm not gonna start the salah. They just
pretended they didn't hear him.
So finally, the Imam got mad, and he
said, we're getting late here. If you don't
get close to each other,
Shaitan will come, and he's gonna stand between
you.
So one of them screamed at the Imam
and said, Okay, what's wrong with you?
Let Shaitan come and stand between us in
salah, maybe Allah will give him hidayah.
And listen, pray me, and maybe Allah will
guide Shaitan.
Okay. It's all about the Shaitan. So the
question from last night was very difficult.
The biggest number in the Quran,
waasannahu ilaamiati
alfil a wazidun. We send Yunus
to a group of a 100000 people or
more. So this is the biggest number in
the Quran. The smallest number is not number
1. The smallest number is 1 tenth.
1 tenth.
One tenth. This is the smallest number in
the Quran, and the winner is brother Abdul
Rahman Muhammad.
Good job, man.
Good job, man. The last question is
is terribly difficult. Terrible.
Terrible.
If you win, I will give you 2
prizes.
There's something
at the end of the Quran,
something that breathe
and it doesn't have a soul.
I'll make it easy for you. Something that
breathe and according to the Surah and it
doesn't have a it doesn't have a soul.
You know the answer I emailed him before
tomorrow, ask that Imam Mustafa at the Latoya
Center.
