To all humanity. Whomever Allah
guides, there is none to misguide. And whomever
Allah leaves to go astray,
there is none to
So 2 weeks are gone from the month
of Ramadan, and about 2 weeks are left.
So if you didn't do enough in the
first half of the month of Ramadan,
you still have a chance to make up
what you missed in the first half.
The last 10 days are the best part
of the month as the prophet said.
Said.
So the prophet
used to do a long Ibadah in the
last 10 days and the last 9
nights of the month of Ramadan
as reported inside Muslim by Aisha Radhiallahu An.
He would do work hard during the months.
Do the different that we will discuss in
a bit inshallah.
So the best thing that you can do
in the last part of the month of
Ramadan, number 1,
fasting. To fast in the proper way.
Because the best acts of worship that you
can do are the obligatory
acts. As Allah says in the authentic hadith.
It's a put a hadith,
my servant,
Ibad, cannot get close to me with anything
good and what I have made obligatory
on them, like salah, fasting, zakat, so on
and so forth.
So when people fast, there there are 3
different types of people when it comes to
fasting. Number 1,
the finest and this is the highest type
of fasting
when your heart fasts.
So you purify your intentions in a good
deed that you do. You do it purely
for Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala and not for
showing off. So people will say, oh, he's
Kabir Khajaj. Oh, he's Shawadu Khariem because he
gives salat or no. You do it only
for Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. You do it
purify your attention, and you purify your heart.
You focus more
on Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, his sifat, his
attributes, and you try to get closer to
him. And this is the work of the
heart.
So the second time of fasting,
which is that the organs of the body
also fast. So your tongue fast, it doesn't
back bite or lie or cheat.
Your eyes fast, so you don't look at
Haram.
Your ears fast, so you don't listen to
gossip and back body or listen to something
Haram.
Your hands fast, so you don't do something
haram with your hands,
fighting and so on and so forth. Your
feet fast, so you don't walk to the
haram.
So this is the second level of fasting.
The third time
and this is the fasting of the average
people. Most people fast like this. They don't
eat or drink or have intimate relationship with
the spouse, the husband, or the wife from
dawn to sunset, but they have no problem
lying, stealing, cheating, fighting with people.
So this is what they do. When
So the prophet, sahabi,
warned us
against the third time of fasting.
So some people, they fast from dawn to
sunset, 19, 20 hours.
They make, fasting in the day. They pray
at PM at night with a shaykh. They
cry in the salah. You'll find a pool
of water under them when they pray in
the taraweeh. They give
salatah
but they start fighting with people. They snap
on people very easily. They lose their temper,
or they lie, or they cheat, or they
steal, and so on and so forth. So
they earn hasanah the hard way, and they
lose them the easy way.
So the prophet, salam, said that on the
day of judgment,
some people will be broke.
They do lots of hasanam. They fast. They
pray. They give zakan, but they come on
the day of judgment.
But they stole from this. They lied through
this. They cheated this, so they lose the
reward.
So it is impossible for the shaitan
to,
you know, miss with the with our brains
and forces us to break our fast in
Ramadan. He can't do this
as long as you have no fit from
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. But what he can
do,
he will let you fast, but he will
miss with your fasting so you will lose
lose the reward by looking at that woman.
Sheathing to this, lying to this, you will
lose the reward. This is what the shaytan
does.
And because Abu Islam is a Pakistani
that those who don't avoid lying and cheating
and being violent in the day of Ramadan,
then what is the point in their abstaining
for food and drink? What is the point?
You lose the reward.
Narrated by Abu Ghayr, radiAllahu Anhu,
some people will fast, and the only thing
they get from their fasting is hunger and
thirst.
Nothing else. And some people stay at night
in salah, and the only thing they get
is not getting sleep, waking up at night.
Why? Because they don't fast in the proper
way.
So what the sunnah that you can do
in the last thing days in the last
sin lies in Ramadan is to make.
A tikka. And Aisha, alayla, said that the
prophet
used to make a tikka in the last
10 nights of the month of Ramadan as
reported in Bukhara.
Well, Ashri,
So the 20
the last 10 nights or 10 days of
Ramadan, they start with the sunset of the
20th day of Ramadan and the beginning of
the 21st night of Ramadan. We know that
the night in Islam begins before the day.
So what is permissible in atikaf
is to do the hiddadah, like salam,
bikrullah, dissertation of the Quran. Or what is
permissible
is like studying for exam. If you have
some exams this week, you can,
study for the exam.
What is haram? It's to backbite.
Or I saw myself some people who come
for at the camp, some of our youth,
and they play cards and they play video
games. So what is the point of coming
to the masjid
and playing video games in the masjid? There's
no point.
And some parents,
Alhamdulillah, they encourage their children to come for
Adiqa for Ramadan. And I saw them myself.
So they drop off them in the masjid,
and the parents take off. They go and
enjoy the life, and they leave the kids
here to ruin the immense life. They start
screaming and disturbing people as they make the
Africa.
And I mentioned before that,
some of the parents they in in America,
they brought their kids to the masjid in
the last 10 nights for at the cap,
and they started to play soccer right behind
us in salaam al tahazdul. And they hit
me with the ball twice in my head
as I was leading the salaam.
So make sure you don't disturb people as
you do and to carry them the lesson.
When
the Musa
So the second,
or the third act of worship that you
can do in this month is to observe.
Allah
is killing us in the Quran that if
you stand in this night,
just for 1 hour, you pray,
with the iman,
you make
Allah will give you the reward of for
83 years.
1 hour 83 years of rewards. And imagine
if you work for someone,
you are an employee at a company or
something, and they tell you, tonight, you will
work for us just 1 hour, and we
will give you the salary of 83 years.
Will you say no?
It will be nuts if you refuse.
So this is a golden opportunity to get
closer to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
And so the sahab of the prophet
narrated that the prophet
said that lay the is in the last
then the odd numbers in the last 10
nights, 21st,
23rd, 5th, 7th, 9th. Some of the Sahaba
used to swear by Allah that it is
in the 27th night, and Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala
acts of worship in this last part of
the month of Ramadan. And some of the,
some of the they are committed giving you
Zakkai this month to the poor
and the different categories because they work for
good deeds are multiplied numerously in this month.
So if you have money
or anything that is worth,
85 grams of gold, you need to give
2.5%
of that money or that gold,
to the poor as long as it stays
in your position for a whole year.
If you bought a house or land for
business, you need to give 2.5%.
If you bought it just, to use it
for yourself and your family, no Zakat.
Imam al Khalifa said there is a gap
on gold. If you have 85,
grams or more, you need to give Zakat
there. So this call has said you don't
have,
to give. And the last thing is Zakat
al al Filth, and you give the Zakat
in the last part of the month. If
the masjid is your agent, you can give
the money now, anytime, and the masjid will
give it to the poor in the last
couple of days of the month.
Can I give my Zakat Zakat al Amwal
to the masjid in the fundraiser? Yes. You
can give your Zakat to the masjid and
help them with your Zakat money. This is
in Surah Al Tabat where Allah
talks about the categories of zakat, he mentions
and building the sahabi and supporting the Muslim
community in the west. This is from jihad.
This is from Sabirullah. That's Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala.
