So it's almost the middle of the month,
and in a few days, inshallah, the month
of Ramadan
will be over. We'll say goodbye to this
great month, and it will be another year
before we can see the month again. And
who knows? Maybe
some of us will not be there to
see this month again.
So we ask Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala to
give us the life
to live up to this month and to
get the blessings of that month, and if
Allah
has written us for our suddah before we
get to that month, inshaAllah, that He will
give us Jannah and accept our fasting and
our good deeds. Today, the topic is about
the struggle
between
man and the shaytan in the month of
Ramadan.
Whether you will succeed in this month or
fail
will pretty much,
depend on whether you win the battle against
the shaitan or not in this month.
Fahadah, this is the topic for the Khuba
today.
So in the Arabic language, the word
shaitan,
which is in English, Satan, is derived is
taken from the Arabic language.
The word shaitan is taken from the verb
shabana, which is to be away from the
mercy of Allah subhanahu wa'ala.
The word in sad, which is human or
mad in Arabic, is derived from the verb
nasiya, which is to forget.
So humans forget.
They forget 2 things. Number 1, the reason
why they are here,
why they are in this life. And the
reason is given in Surat Al Dhariyad,
The reason is I have not created
humans and jim, it says to worship me,
to worship Allah
And the second thing they forget, they forget
that shaitan is an enemy to them, as
Allah says many times, many times in the
and the devilish or the jinnied shayateen.
Look at the last two verses of the
Quran. Asher Ayatend of the Quran.
I see the protection of Allah from
that which whispers
from a might jinn and humans.
So Allah says it's in the Quran that
there are 2 types of shayateen, the jinni
shayateen and the human
So take him as an enemy. Don't take
him as a friend, as Allah says in
Surat Al Kahf.
So don't take the shaitan as a friend,
but take him as an enemy.
The goal of the shaitan is to make
you
and other humans
his assembly in the hellfire because misery loves
company.
We know for sure that the shaytan will
be in the hellfire,
and he doesn't want there to be there
by himself.
He loves to have a company, and it's
simple.
So this is the objective, and this is
the reality of the shaytan.
Shaitan.
So the intention
if we talk about siyam fasting, for example,
the shaitan will let you fast. Okay. No
problem. You'll be fasting for 17, 18, 19
hours, no food, no drink.
Only thing they will get from fasting is
hunger or thirst. Nothing else.
0 reward.
So this point is basically
saying to the other junkies with him, the
other criminals,
when the
last 10 days of Shaba' come, drink day
and night because there's no time.
And don't drink in small cups
drinking big cups because there's no time. It's
only 10 days, man.
So drink a lot. Badri
Ramadan, okay, the doors of repentance is open,
so Allah will forgive you.
Over your shoulder, and he said, you know
that I love you. You are my brother
from another month.
Okay? And this is my advice to you.
Bilam Alaik will make billions of Hasanets, zillions
of Hasanets.
Okay? And most count.
So
you have billions of kasanets. So what is
wrong if you just do a lot a
lot of,
evil deeds here and there
because you have a lot of credit?
So who told you that Allah
accepted your fasting and your recitation of the
Quran? Maybe your credit you have 0
in your credit, and you want to add
more
and more sayyat.
Okay?
Prophet salallahu
alaihi wa sallam fasted before Ramadan in Shaba'
as Aisha radiAllahu anha said, and he fasted
in Shaba' right after Ramadan in the 6
days.
Right?
So the prophet
knew about this.
So this is regarding the fasting.
Had been ordered to make sujood
before Allah and before Adam and he refused.
But you you
have been ordered to make sujood to Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala and you do make sujood.
So this drives him nuts.
He's comparing you to himself.
Humans are obedient. I'm disobedient because I refuse
to make sujood to Allah. So what he
will do? Okay.
He will either try to stop you from
praying, or even if you pray, he will
try to miss out your salah.
So in Salat al Fashr,
the Mu'addin will say,
prayer is better than sleep.
And the shaitan will make adhan in your
ears and say, no. No. No. No. No.
Don't listen to this guy,
the Mohammed just made a ban
in the masjid, and you know that they
make a comment 20 minutes after, and the
Mohammed made a ban only 10 minutes ago.
So you still have 10 minutes. So sleep,
and inshallah, I will wake you up. And
the only thing that happens next is you
wake up at 2 PM.
So the shayta is trying to deceive you
all the time. To lose that salah, he
will whisper to you in the salah.
Amay is the 1st rakah, 3rd rakah, 5th
rakah. Do I have wudu in the first?
So you lose the reward, you lose the
focus
in the salah. And this is what the
shaytan does.
The shaitan
scares you
of poverty,
and he motivates you to evil deeds, to
do evil deeds. And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
promises you great bounties
and forgiveness.
So every time you try to make salah
covers, Zakat al Shaitan will come to you.
Hey, bro.
You go bro.
You'll be homeless.
You'll not be able to put food on
the table. So the shaitan is always warning
you on poverty, and Allah, on the other
other hand, is promising you great rewards and
forgiveness agenda.
The doors of Hibbib
are wide open, and the doors of the
hellfire are closed, and the shayateen are chained.
How come you said they whisper
and they are detained and chained, incarcerated
in prison?
How come?
So some will say, you said that the
shaitan is chained, but what about the crimes
that take place in Ramadan?
5th,
adultery,
lying,
cheating, killing. All these things, they happen in
the day of Ramadan. So
why are you saying that shaitan is chained?
Remember we said
that it is true that the shaitan, the
jinni shaitan might be chained.
But what about the human chanting?
They're no longer the place. And
also, what about your desires and following your
lower desire
and and and the lower self that you
have? So people follow their desire.
Also, the scholars like Iftabiyyah, Iftabiyyah,
Iftabiyyah,
Iftubiyyah,
they said that you have the key for
the prison of the shaitan in your hand.
It's up to you to release it
or lock it up.
If you follow the guidance, then Muhammad Ali,
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, will open the doors of
Jannah for you, will make it easy for
you to come close to Allah. But if
you do choose to set the shaitan free,
then the only one to blame is who?
The only thing you need to do when
it comes to the jinnishaytaq
is to seek protection in Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala. As Allah says in the Quran, And
if the jinni shayateen whispered to you, seek
protection in Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, and Allah
is sufficient
for you as a protector.
What about the human shayate
in an authentic hadith in Muslim Ahmed narrated
by Abu Brayyur Radiullah Anhu. The prophet
says, you are as good or evil as
your friends and companions,
so make sure that you select your friends
and companions
carefully.
These are the words of the prophet, sasalam,
nagma'il.
When I can enter Lavi to Kawhi,
