			brothers and sisters. So hon Allah Allah is granting us an opportunity that we can do so much that
we so that we can come closer to him with the month of the hedge around the corner. It is so
important that we plan in advance that how are we going to use these days, let's create a schedule
for ourselves so that we do not lose out this opportunity. And as they say that if you fail to plan
then you plan to fail. So I want to share with share with you a few things that we must do and we
must make a make a habit of in these first 10 days of the ninja. The very first thing is that try to
increase in our car try to increase in our tech be raw, as found in a hadith, in most of the atma is
		

			narrated by a phenomenal Viola on whom were in the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he says for a
funeral fee hidden I mean at the honeybee with the bat with the meat that in these days the prophets
are some He instructs us to increase in law in the in the law and glorifying Allah subhanho wa
taala. And not only that, but in our tech be meaning that we should try to revive this atmosphere at
our homes of saying the time be right Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar La ilaha illa Allahu Allahu Akbar
Allahu Akbar within the hill hunt, in fact, you mumble Hi Lachlan Delilah. He mentioned in his book,
that in the days of the hijab Sahaba, such as even Amara the love that I'm home and, and a horrible
		

			Viola and they would go in the marketplaces, and they would chant it and be right, and they will
engage other people. So this is very important that we must do this. Another thing that we can do in
these days is increase in our insofar as you and I we know that as as slaves of Allah. But as as
human beings we commit wrong day and night knowingly and unknowingly. So let's try to make an
abundance of Mr. Fogg and ask Allah subhanho wa Taala forgiveness as much as we can, let's increase
in our of God, let's increase in our Quran tilava in connecting with the Quran, whether it's reading
a to see or make or doing the Tilawat in itself, or listen to a lecture regarding the Quran, but
		

			anything that we can do to come closer to the word of Allah subhanho wa taala. Also what we can do
is to fast and these days, as we have found, as in a hadith mentioned by many of the wives of the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi, WA send them that the Prophet Allah has some he would fast in the first
nine days of the Hijjah, he would fast on the day of Ashura, he would fast on Mondays and Thursdays.
So while these days are around the corner, let's try to make a plan to fast. I'm not saying that we
have to fast every single day, if So alhamdulillah. But if we cannot, let's try to plan let's try to
fast for a few days, and especially the Day of Arafah, we cannot miss that at any cost. Finally,
		

			some of the other things that we can do is give as much as charity as we can, if we know of any
charitable organization, and they're going and giving out to those who are in need. Let's be part of
that. Let's show people that What does these 10 days mean? If there is someone who is sick in the
community, going and visiting them, if there is someone who is in need of help going and helping
them out? And not only that, but try to do as much as we can. There are so much there are so many
doors of hey, there are so much that we can do. But we have to take the first step. As mentioned in
Sahih Muslim is Allah million file that have the desire to do that which benefits you so this is
		

			going to benefit us for sure in sha Allah in the Acela and it may benefit us in this dunya. So why
not have the desire to do that? So let's try to do everything we can. Let's create that environment
in our homes. Let's engage everyone in our families and doing what we need to do to come closer to
Allah subhanho wa taala. Engage your children, engage your husband, engage your wife, and let's make
sure that we take maximum benefit of these days, because these are very blessed days in the eyes of
Allah subhanho wa Taala does akmola Hey, a salam Wa alaykum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
