00:01:40 --> 00:01:42
			We'll get a very special guest,
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:44
			a distinguished guest.
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:47
			And this guest comes once a year.
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:50
			And this guest is the month of Ramadan.
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:51
			The Sahaba
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:55
			used to make dua that Allah would give
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:55
			him life
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:13
			So we all ask the most
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:15
			to give us the life,
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:16
			the strength
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:19
			to live up to the month of Ramadan
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:21
			to be able to fast this month and
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:23
			to get all the blessings of that great
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:24
			month.
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:53
			So whether you want or you wish or
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:56
			not, the month of Musa'i is coming
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:58
			if it is the will of Allah
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:02
			But what about you? Are you ready
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:03
			for this month?
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:42
			If you recite the Quran or if you
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:43
			hear the Quran recited
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:45
			and the imam is reciting
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:47
			some person to talk about the hellfire
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:49
			or jannah,
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:52
			if you receive both of them the same
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:54
			or you don't care or you don't feel
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:55
			anything in your heart,
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:10
			then you have a frog in your heart.
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:13
			If you see the Janazah and the Russian
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:16
			people praying Janazah for someone who died, and
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:18
			you even go with them to the graveyard,
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:21
			and you sit to the side, you stand
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:23
			to the side joking with the guys who
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:24
			are chit chatting,
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:26
			then you have a problem in your heart.
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:30
			If you see Muslims being killed every day,
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:32
			and the Muslim blood is the cheapest on
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:33
			earth,
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:36
			And you don't feel very sympathetic for them.
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:38
			They may have a problem with your heart.
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:42
			And the easiest way, for example, is if
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:45
			you are watching a lecture with your family
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:49
			or nation about, for example, the suffering of
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:51
			the Sahaba or the death of the prophet
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:51
			and
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:55
			everybody around you is weeping and crying, and
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:57
			you are sitting there digging in your nose
		
00:05:57 --> 00:05:59
			or scratching your head, you don't know what
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:00
			is going on.
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:03
			If you have all these things,
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:05
			then welcome to the club,
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:08
			the club of the stony hearted people, the
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:10
			hard hearted people.
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:29
			Or organ in the in the body that
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:31
			if it is sound in the whole body
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:33
			is sound, if it is corrupt, the whole
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:34
			body is messed up.
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:37
			And this organ is the heart.
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:40
			It's one of the smallest organs in your
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:43
			body, but it is the most important one.
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:00
			The prophet
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:04
			in another authentic hadith narrated by Abu Ghayyas
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:07
			says 3 times in this authentic hadith
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:24
			does not judge you by how handsome you
		
00:09:24 --> 00:09:26
			look or how tall you are or how
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:28
			big muscles you have, but Allah
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:31
			will judge you by the purity of your
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:33
			heart and the sincerity of your actions.
		
00:10:29 --> 00:10:30
			And we ask
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:38
			the
		
00:10:59 --> 00:11:02
			The second type of hearts is the dead
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:02
			heart.
		
00:11:03 --> 00:11:05
			Nothing is dead completely.
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:07
			Allah
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:09
			talks about some people in the Quran, and
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:10
			He says,
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:12
			then your hearts
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:13
			became so hardened
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:16
			to the point that they became as hard
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:18
			as stones or even hard.
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:21
			You are dead complete nothing.
		
00:11:49 --> 00:11:51
			The first type of hearts are the people
		
00:11:51 --> 00:11:53
			who have sick hearts.
		
00:11:53 --> 00:11:56
			Their heart is alive, but it is sick.
		
00:11:57 --> 00:11:57
			If Allah
		
00:11:58 --> 00:12:00
			gives them someone to advise them a good
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:01
			company,
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:03
			then they listen.
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:05
			But if Allah
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:07
			gives them a bad company,
		
00:12:08 --> 00:12:10
			a bad influence in their life, they just
		
00:12:10 --> 00:12:13
			go astray. They fall off the wagon
		
00:12:14 --> 00:12:15
			and so on and so forth.
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:17
			Okay.
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:17
			Is a transition,
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:20
			and this life is very short.
		
00:13:21 --> 00:13:22
			Hayafi adid munyaqaziyal.
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:26
			Or as I say in Somali, nulosho wayat
		
00:13:26 --> 00:13:26
			halal,
		
00:13:27 --> 00:13:29
			life is very short.
		
00:13:57 --> 00:13:59
			So what kind of a lie with this?
		
00:13:59 --> 00:14:01
			If you are an Ramadan like an owl,
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:03
			you sleep all day and you play all
		
00:14:03 --> 00:14:06
			night. And if this is your last Ramadan,
		
00:14:06 --> 00:14:07
			how can you meet Allah
		
00:14:08 --> 00:14:09
			with with this kind of fasting?
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:50
			And we know that through experience, the first
		
00:14:50 --> 00:14:53
			couple of times, you commit a sin, you
		
00:14:53 --> 00:14:54
			feel very remorseful,
		
00:14:55 --> 00:14:56
			you cry,
		
00:14:56 --> 00:14:58
			and you feel very regretful.
		
00:14:58 --> 00:15:00
			But the 5th time, and the 7th time,
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:02
			and the 15th time, you do the same
		
00:15:02 --> 00:15:03
			sin,
		
00:15:48 --> 00:15:50
			you wanna put a charity in Hashem or
		
00:15:50 --> 00:15:52
			give charity to the board, they tell you,
		
00:15:52 --> 00:15:54
			no. Come on, man. You will go broke.
		
00:15:55 --> 00:15:56
			Your kids will be homeless.
		
00:15:57 --> 00:15:59
			Just go play, you know, play something. Do
		
00:15:59 --> 00:16:01
			something crazy.
		
00:16:14 --> 00:16:17
			Direct your attention, distract your attention from Allah
		
00:16:18 --> 00:16:20
			and they guide you toward evil.
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:24
			So to revive your heart, you have to
		
00:16:24 --> 00:16:25
			have a good company. That's Allah
		
00:17:34 --> 00:17:37
			There are so many ways, omission and reason,
		
00:17:37 --> 00:17:39
			and how to revive your heart, how to
		
00:17:39 --> 00:17:40
			soften your lives.
		
00:17:41 --> 00:17:43
			That first one is to be mindful of
		
00:17:43 --> 00:17:44
			Allah
		
00:17:44 --> 00:17:45
			to keep Allah
		
00:17:46 --> 00:17:47
			in front of you,
		
00:17:48 --> 00:17:49
			to speak to Allah
		
00:17:50 --> 00:17:51
			all the time, as the prophet
		
00:17:51 --> 00:17:52
			did.
		
00:17:52 --> 00:17:54
			And Allah tells us in the Quran,
		
00:17:55 --> 00:17:56
			those who believe
		
00:17:56 --> 00:17:58
			and are mindful of Allah subhanahu
		
00:17:59 --> 00:18:00
			wa'ala, they mention him all the time,
		
00:18:01 --> 00:18:04
			and those who mention Allah subhanahu wa'ala, they
		
00:18:04 --> 00:18:04
			have tranquility
		
00:18:05 --> 00:18:06
			in their hearts.
		
00:18:37 --> 00:18:39
			So the second thing that you can do
		
00:18:39 --> 00:18:41
			to soften your heart or why your heart
		
00:18:41 --> 00:18:41
			resuscitate
		
00:18:42 --> 00:18:43
			your heart Islamically
		
00:18:44 --> 00:18:47
			is to always think of Adil, to think
		
00:18:47 --> 00:18:49
			of the brain. And all that you will
		
00:18:49 --> 00:18:51
			do or say when you stand before Allah's
		
00:18:52 --> 00:18:52
			punishment.
		
00:18:54 --> 00:18:54
			The prophet
		
00:18:55 --> 00:18:57
			tells us in the Usid e kaneer,
		
00:18:57 --> 00:18:59
			I used to forbid you
		
00:18:59 --> 00:19:02
			from going to the graves, visiting the graves,
		
00:19:02 --> 00:19:05
			but now you can visit them because they
		
00:19:05 --> 00:19:06
			will make you
		
00:19:06 --> 00:19:07
			chin tears,
		
00:19:07 --> 00:19:09
			and they will soften your hearts, and they
		
00:19:09 --> 00:19:11
			will remind you of the next life,
		
00:19:11 --> 00:19:13
			as the prophet prophet said in the 3rd
		
00:19:13 --> 00:19:14
			place.
		
00:19:35 --> 00:19:35
			You.
		
00:19:35 --> 00:19:37
			Those people who will remind you of the
		
00:19:37 --> 00:19:39
			lost hand of Allah, you forget.
		
00:19:40 --> 00:19:42
			If you fall off the wagon,
		
00:19:42 --> 00:19:44
			they will give you a hand,
		
00:19:44 --> 00:19:46
			and they will support you, and they will
		
00:19:46 --> 00:19:48
			put you back on track.
		
00:19:56 --> 00:19:57
			You always question your intentions.
		
00:19:58 --> 00:19:59
			Why did I do this? Why did I
		
00:19:59 --> 00:20:01
			do this? What is the benefit of doing
		
00:20:01 --> 00:20:03
			this? Am I doing the right thing?
		
00:20:15 --> 00:20:18
			So number 4, and this is the last
		
00:20:18 --> 00:20:20
			one for today, you have to judge yourself.
		
00:20:20 --> 00:20:22
			Always blame yourself. Why did I do this?
		
00:20:23 --> 00:20:25
			Why am I so foolish? Why did I
		
00:20:25 --> 00:20:27
			wait until the month of Ramadan? I didn't
		
00:20:27 --> 00:20:29
			have the right the right thing.
		
00:20:45 --> 00:20:47
			You don't do the halal, but you do
		
00:20:47 --> 00:20:49
			the halal. What kind of mentality is this?
		
00:20:50 --> 00:20:53
			You often judge yourself. Judge your intentions. Am
		
00:20:53 --> 00:20:54
			I doing this for the right reason?
		
00:20:55 --> 00:20:57
			Will this bring me closer to Allah
		
00:20:58 --> 00:21:01
			Will this take me to Jannah or otherwise?
		
00:21:01 --> 00:21:02
			So be smart,
		
00:21:03 --> 00:21:03
			be intelligent,
		
00:21:04 --> 00:21:06
			plan ahead of time, and so you have
		
00:21:06 --> 00:21:08
			prepare yourself for the month of Ramadan.
