families in general for DOS Alana in the companionship of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and his Sahaba Amenia Robert Alameen.

Brothers Sisters, Allah subhanho wa Taala gives us many chances to make the best of our akhira at the end of the day, no matter how many chances come from Allah subhanho wa Taala as he say in English, the ball is in our court mean that

Choice is completely ours. Allah subhanho wa Taala has given you and I so many of them Avans and every single Ramadan is a time to connect to Allah subhanho wa Taala every single Ramadan is a time to connect with our true purpose of life. Every single Ramadan is our opportunity to connect with the book of Allah subhanho wa Taala every single Ramadan is a time to connect with our inner spirituality to bring out the inner spirituality to cleanse that heart and to for a to shine the note of ALLAH SubhanA with the Isla. This is a time of the month is a time of the year when we connect with our community. This is the time of the year when we reconnect with our basics of Islam.

Whether it's fasting, whether it's SEO, whether it's philosophy, whether it's anything else in terms of sadaqa and charity and read the Quran, this is that time of the year and this is the time of the year when we re establish our covenant with Allah subhanho wa Taala we reestablish our commitment to Allah subhanho wa Taala How many times will Allah give us chances after chances and believe it or not, we will be standing before Allah on the day of judgment. And Allah will ask us because it is a human nature that when things go bad, we begin to blame others the Quran makes it very clear in the Quran makes it very clear that on the Day of Judgment, the human being will want to blame Allah

subhanho wa Taala the healing of the human being will blame so many other things they are surrounded with. But Allah subhanho wa Taala will remind us on the Day of Judgment that you have no one to blame but yourself. You were looking for the spirituality. I gave you that opportunity. And what more do you want I gave you the month of Ramadan. And by the way the month of Ramadan in itself is such a blessed time such a blessed month that this one month can be the means of our salvation. This is the month that where Allah subhanho wa Taala he closes up and he closes the doors of Jahannam he opens the doors of Jannah and this is the only month that every single night. Listen to this very

carefully every single night now once a month now once a week, every night, there is a list that is produced before Allah subhanho wa Taala and this is the list of people who are saved from the fire of Jahannam we we always work towards Jana. We always are working towards saving ourselves and saving our family from jahannam. Allah is telling us that you can be part of that. This is why there's a very beautiful hadith of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam where he says that either kind of a woody Leila 10 Min Shahid Amaan Sophie that a che ATHLEAN were murderers Atul Jin will only cut away Abuja Abu Abu falam youth min Habad when the Prophet Allah you Sam says that the

Shelties are locked up and the doors are Jahannam have been closed and there is not a single door of Johanna. That is open and he says will foot the height of wearable Jana falam yo hulak minha baboon and all the doors of Jana are open now only one door of Jannah but all of them are open and he says well you nadie Munna did and there's a person who calls out you know, when you go on social media and you see those sales when you see people getting on, you know on social media calling out that there is a good sell coming there is there's this place where you need to go for a vacation. These are calls are being made out to us. These are people who are calling out to duniya you hear on the

other hand Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is telling us you know the Munna then there's a person who's calling out and he says yeah, bad el Haiti up a bill that those who want to do good those who are who are chasing to do good, come, come he and then he says, the gaze of parents. He says the announcer causes calls out Oh secret of good come near, whereby he or she did the opposite. And that person who is who is saint who is trying to save themselves that come close to Allah subhanho wa Taala and the person who's trying to go away, then go away further from Allah subhanho wa taala. And then he says that every single night there is a there's a group of people that will be

saved from the fire jahana Brothers and sisters, what more does Allah subhanaw taala need to give us and this is why a true person. The person who's truly deprived is the person who does not benefit from Ramadan. And this is why we find many other a hadith that those who don't benefit from avant they are the ones who are truly deprived. In one Hadith we find that a person who found them alone and never got their sins forgiven. May Allah's curse be upon them. This is a door

of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. On top of that this is the Amin. Amin is set by who but Gibreel Ali he's Salam. Then on the other hand, you will find that the person who has found the month found the other and they remained deprived from the blessing of later the other the Prophet SAW Selim says that they are truly deprived from Allah subhanho wa taala. Now think about this, we find Ramadan, Allah subhanho wa Taala has walked up any kind of distractions, which is shayateen and his army and then not only that, but Allah gives us a look at that. Allah gives us fasting and Allah subhanho wa Taala gives us later other and then we all and there are some people that no matter what

they don't change in Ramadan, they don't make a transformation in Ramadan will Allah He brothers sisters, there is no one to blame but ourselves that we are the ones who are truly deprived with everything in place because after Ramadan, there is no atmosphere of the Quran. after Ramadan there is no atmosphere of fasting. I forgot my mom the first day of show welcomes and you see the mothers being empty again, the for after Ramadan, there is no atmosphere of sadaqa after Ramadan, you don't find people coming to the masjid. You don't find a Yama laid, you don't find the last 10 nights of Ramadan and the massage is being packed. You need an environment to make a transformation. Allah is

telling us I'm giving you everything to be successful. What more do you want from me? This is Allah saying and then we are here seeing and we are we are witnessing the month of Ramadan and we are not benefiting from number one and we're not making a change in our life will Allah you brothers sisters, there's no one who's more deprived and then the in that situation than us. This is why brothers sisters, before the month of Ramadan came we talked about this. We heard what was that the month of Ramadan is the month to bring a change in your life. The month of Ramadan is the time to bring the Quran into your life. We're looking for solutions. Allah is telling us make dua in the

month of Ramadan. We're looking for solutions. Allah is saying go back and connect with the Quran. And this is why the month of Ramadan, there's only one place in the Quran. Only one place in the Quran that Allah talks about Ramadan why someone could have said that why didn't Allah talk about Ramadan over and over again is because one rum avant in itself has enough ability and has the mechanism to change a person but we have to be the person we have to be the people that are willing to change. We have to be the people that are willing to let go of their bad habits. We have to be the people that are willing to let go of the Haram otherwise some of our comes we fast we pray and

then show wild comes and then till the next year number one, we are disconnected from our spirituality. Ramadan comes to bring a change and that is why we also find in the Quran. Allah says shall Ramadan Allah the unzila fee Hill Quran. Now in this ayah Allah Subhana Allah subhanho wa Taala is talking about the Quran, the objective of the Quran. And why was the Quran revealed? First of all, he says on Zillow fee Hill Quran the Quran was revealed in this month and the fact that Allah mentioned the word Quran he could have said Shan who Ramadan Allah the on Zillow feed Kitab Shan, Rama, Valhalla, the vicar, he could use any other name of the Quran in this verse. The reason

why your honor the state is that the reason why Allah use the word Quran in this verse is because the word Quran means a book that is read over and over again. Hence, in the month of Ramadan. I understand that people sometimes want to read the text of the Quran. Sometimes people want to listen to a lecture of the Quran, but think about it in the month of Ramadan, especially we see in the month of Ramadan. And I'm not saying anything against anyone or any organization or anything of that type. But how often do you see that in the matter of avant, the YouTube gets filled with lectures, so many organizations so many people want to create lecture after lecture after lecture. But think

about it. When Allah says on Zita fie Hill Quran. Allah is sending us a message that this is the month that we're technically speaking this is not the month for lectures. Imam Malik Rahmatullah Wa La Imam Shafi, Rahmatullah Ali, all the greater Allah ma they will close the books are FIP they will close a book of the Pharisee they will put all these book books on the shelf because throughout the year they will teach these kinds of things. But Ramadan was the time of the year to read the Quran. How many people come and they say, I find doubts in Islam. I have doubts in my faith. I asked them one question, How often do you read the Quran? How often do you read the Quran? And their answers

are usually in the negative they don't read the Quran. How

How are you supposed to connect to Allah subhanho wa Taala if you're not reading the Quran, even if a person says I don't understand what the Quran is trying to tell me, even in that case, the fact that the words of Allah in itself are so powerful that it will move you the words of Allah subhanho wa Taala are so powerful that it will shake you the word of Allah subhanho wa Taala are so powerful that it will bring a spiritual transformation in your life. You don't need it to seed in order to bring a transformation in your life. Pick up the Quran and read the Quran. How many times we have heard so many other books, but how many times we have never read the Quran from cover to cover from

mint from Southern Fatiha all the way to certain NAS. I'm not talking about standing in Tara Weir and listening behind the Imam and saying that you know what I have completed the Quran that's not a completion of the Quran. When you say completing the Quran, that means that you sit down and you read letter by letter vowel by vowel Holika Holika and you read the entire Quran that is you connecting with the Quran. You don't connect yes you can connect with the Quran through lectures. yes you can but the original way is to read the Quran in the month of Ramadan. Allah says shall Ramadan Allah the own Zilla fee Hill Quran, who Delhi nurse. First of all, Allah subhanho wa Taala

says that the Quran the book of Allah is a source of guidance. We always are looking for guidance, every single raka we say did not stop him. This is Allah answering our prayer. I'm giving you the Quran, take the Quran, and that Allah says we're begging it me and Houda that there is not only just this is guidance, ALLAH SubhanA wa could have said, Here you go, this is guidance. That's it. You gotta listen and you have to obey. And if Allah subhanho wa Taala did that there is still sufficient for us to obey Allah subhanho wa Taala but Allah knows the human being, Allah knows that the human being is such that he wants to learn from examples. He loves stories, she loves stories. So ALLAH

SubhanA wa Tada says, Be ye NAT immunol Houda not only is this a source of guidance, but there is proof in this book that this is a source of guidance. What is that proof? The anecdotes, what are the proofs, the stories of the Gambia what are the proofs, the stories of the previous nations, these are all proofs when we read the ayat about Africa, this is a proof that this is the this is a source of guidance. Allah Subhana Allah subhanho wa Taala is telling us this is a guidance, a source of guidance. And in this you will find the proof that this is the guidance. And then he says well for con, and this Quran gives you the ability to differentiate between what is right and what is

wrong. Often we don't understand how to differentiate between what is right and what is wrong. We fall into a Shiva hot, we fall into a Chawan we don't know how to differentiate, Allah is telling us that in order to do that your solution is the Quran. You want guidance, go the Quran, you went for con go to the Quran, you want success, go to the Quran, you're looking for clarity in life, go to the Quran, you want solutions to your palms, go to the Quran, and hence the Quran is right in front of us. And especially in these kinds of months where this is the month of the Quran. We are neglecting the Quran still in this month. Brothers and sisters Let's wake up. This is an opportunity

from Allah subhanho wa Taala let's read the Quran. read it from cover to cover making a commitment making a promise no matter what I will reach the end of the Quran. Even today is day two of Ramadan. I'm still going to start today. Don't worry about the month of Ramadan has started. Don't worry about the fact that you have not started start today. The human being is I will do it. I will do it. They procrastinate we've only we're only in the beginning of Ramadan. Do not feel that you know what Ramadan has already started. I have not started let us some of our goal. Next year Ramadan I will do this no start today. You start from somewhere and slowly and gradually you start and yes, you go

through difficulties. That's fine. When you go through difficulties in reading the Quran, Allah subhanho wa Taala will give you double that reward. But this is brothers sisters, once again, if it is through a tough see that you can connect, then no problem if it's two lectures that you can connect with the Quran, no problem. But once again, the most asinine way. The most original way to connect with the Quran is to read the Quran and there is no doubt in this fact. So that is why now that we are in the month of Ramadan, let's use this to make a change with ourselves. Whatever can distract us, let's remove it if Allah is removing other distractions such as shayateen and so forth,

that on our end if there are any other distractions that we have to remove that

If it is social media that distracts us so often, then we move it will Allah He the world will not collapse. If we if we take a break from social media, the world will not collapse if I have to just delete my social media app for one month, the world will not collapse if I am not in touch with what is going on. If this is one month that I need to immerse myself into my Quran into my into my fasting, then let this be that month. Otherwise you if you ever tell yourself that I will do it after Ramadan, you will not have an environment to push you forward. So that is why while we are here in the month of Ramadan, let's push ourselves let's make a commitment. Let's create a vibrant

atmosphere in our family had the kids sit down to we are on before Iftar sit down and you know recite some Hadith of the Prophet son we recite some Quran, you know read a book of read a Hadith from the books of Hadith of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam well why he The Internet is filled with a hadith for children in the month of Ramadan. The internet is filled with so many PDFs about activity books that you can do in the month of Ramadan. Give it to your children, let them also feel what Ramadan is not after when they get 1215 years old. And then you start telling them what I'm about is no Starting today we teach our kids what Ramadan is give them an activity book. If

this is their way to connect with Ramadan, then that is fine because children cannot spiritually connect with Allah subhanho wa Taala the way teenagers and adults can so when it comes to our child, give them an activity book, do something that they can connect with Ramadan, do something that they can feel that it is the month of Ramadan, putting decorations inside your house is not the only way to get them excited about Ramadan. No get them excited by with Ramadan, by Diaz by a hadith stories of the Quran stories from the seed of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam sit down before if thought and make an Easter marry dua there is nothing wrong in making a collective dua. One person

is making dua everyone's reciting I mean, the point is create an atmosphere in your family about the excitement of Ramadan and what Ramadan is all about and inshallah these children when they grow up, they will grow up to love Ramadan, and they will teach their kids the same way. I ask Allah subhana wa Tada to grant us the ability to maximum max to maximize the benefits of Ramadan, we ask Allah subhanho wa Taala to give us the ability to learn from the Quran to make us from those who are the people of the Quran in this dunya and akhira Ameer Abdullah Al Amin BarakAllahu Donna welcome Phillip Phillip Quran and all them when I found out what year it was they could Hakeem and stuff for

Come on Selita live Rahim Allah Ali Ibrahim

in the Camino Majeed robotic Allah Muhammad Ali Mohammed Omar Abdullah Ibrahim Allah Ali Ibrahim in the Camila Majeed. One last thing I want to mention when it comes to especially in the month of Ramadan, things that you develop in the month of Ramadan habits that you develop in the month of Ramadan, inshallah they will last after Ramadan if you don't build the habits now, with all the distractions put aside, if we still cannot build habits, then we are the ones who are truly at loss. So let's use this month Ramadan that even in our own homes, in our own homes, we tried to pray solder Jamar together, let's try to pray Salah together we get the kids together there are some kids

that may be rowdy, there might some there might be some kids who are not so focused on this a lot and so forth. No problem. But the human being is such that when they see others doing it, even those kids who might be routed in the family, when they see their their mother, their father, there's other siblings, older siblings prints a lot they will inshallah join. So that is why at least in the month of Ramadan, let's make it a habit that we're praying salon together. There should be one place inside the house where that is where we're reading Quran, that is the place where we're praying Salaat keep the prayer rugs there, keep the Quran there, keep it there, keep the books of dua there

so that all the kids in the family they understand that this is the sacred place right now for this month of Ramadan.
