			upon him, his family and companions, the prophets and messengers that came before him. And those
that follow in his blessing path and their blessings path until the day of judgment and we ask Allah
to make us amongst them Allahumma Amin, your brothers and sisters, I'll keep it short. But I want
you to remember the five things that I'm going to share with you in sha Allah Tada. As we look out
for data to cover now, Sunday night begins the pursuit, every single one of those nights has the
potential to be the most consequential night of your life and so for 10 Nights, Allah subhanho wa
Taala will be looking out to his creation. And we ask Allah subhana wa jal that what he sees from us
		
00:00:50 --> 00:01:34
			is pleasing to Him. Allah Maha Amin and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said and I'm
Carmelita to the other Iman and what the Serbian will fear Allah who matter cut them in them behave
whoever stands up whoever observes Laila to cuddle with faith and seeking the reward Allah will
forgive them for all of their previous sins. We ask Allah subhanaw taala to make us amongst them
Allahumma Amin. So five things their brothers and sisters I want you to carry with you in sha Allah
to Allah and to set your mind to from now as we get into these last 10 Nights. Number one as we go
into the last 10 nights and as we hope that we catch Laylatul Qadr remembering that the night starts
		
00:01:34 --> 00:02:11
			at Maghrib remembering that the night does not start at a shot but the night starts at McCullum and
some of the stuff they mentioned that this is such an important point for us as we go into these
precious nights. Because how many people at the time of their breaking of the fast will lose out
their later than powder before they pray a single record of total we before they even make it to
Salaat very sharp. Why? Because over if thought you might back by you might gossip you might say
something you should not be saying you might do something that is not pleasing to Allah subhana wa
Tada and even Kodama Rahim Allah to Allah said, and most of the people lose it in its early part of
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:51
			the night. May Allah Subhana Allah protect us most of the people lose it in the early part of its
night. It could be one comment that's made at the dinner table. One comment on your way. One joke
that is told that should not be told in those nights and of course should not be told at any part of
the night. But it starts at Salah to the Muslim and when Allah subhanaw taala says to Jaffa,
Jerusalem and Melania you have the room and the home health and well Palmyra that they forsake their
beds seeking Allah subhanho Tiana's reward fighting with their sides. Imam Hassan Abbas Rahim Allah
said this actually refers to the Companions praying between Muslim and Orisha. And so remember to
		
00:02:51 --> 00:03:34
			include everything from the event of McRib, all the way to the event of budget as part of your labor
to cover. The second thing, dear brothers and sisters, to make sure that we catch Orisha and Fajr
all 10 of those nights and days within Jamara. And if that Jamara cannot be in a masjid for those
that are not able to then that Jamara is formed in some other way, but to pray it in congregation,
and we know that because the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that whoever prays Salah to
the Orisha in congregation, Allah subhanaw taala will write down for them the first half of the
night in prayer and whoever prays Salah to Fajr in congregation in Jamara Allah will write down for
		
00:03:34 --> 00:04:16
			them the second half of the night and prayer and so to put that in context, just very logically to
pray three hours in the night but to miss budget for example, or to miss your a shot would not be
more pleasing to Allah subhanahu Utsava pray them in Jamara Sorry, didn't we'll see you all the
Allahu Taala and hookah men Shahidullah Aisha and Leila Tilford further falcoda Be healthy, he minha
how merciful is Allah. He said Whoever prays Salah to Marisha in congregation has taken their
portion from Leila to cuddle. So keeping that and if it is your regular habit and you're unable to
do so then Allah will have written it down for you anyway, but have the intention inshallah to have
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:59
			for every night and day that you can to catch a shot and to catch Fajr in Jamara. And if you're
unable to at that time, or if you sleep through one of them and it overcomes you and you pray at
home, do not grieve ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada writes down in accordance with the intention. So that's
the second thing not to miss a shot or budget in Jamar in those nights. The third thing, what the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa salam said authentically that whoever prays Cleon with the Imam until
he finishes, Allah will write down for him the entire night and prayer. Now there might differ as to
what the quantity of that is. Does that mean for example, that if the Imam comes at three o'clock AM
		
00:04:59 --> 00:04:59
			or two
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:44
			clock em and prays for an hour, let's say from three to 345. And you pray with that single gem and
that single group of people that single imam for that entire time, that counts as the entire night
in prayer does that mean if you pray the first aid, or if you pray, you know, a group of rock out
with one Imam, that that counts. And in the night Allah, we take the opinion in sha Allah to Allah
that yes, to pray with any mom, when there is an established prayer, from the beginning of their TM
until the end of their pm counts as the entire night of prayer. So try to be very careful to catch
it. And if you can catch both of the prayers, then do so but to at least pray one block of the night
		
00:05:44 --> 00:06:26
			between nahi Tana behind an imam throughout their entire portion of what they are to read that
night. And if you can catch what's in with them, then do so Bismillahi Tiana, that is the third
thing. Now we'll get to the ones that get a little bit more interesting and that require a little
bit more thought than Atana. We started off this month by talking about what the best ethika What
the best forms of remembrance in Ramadan are. What is the best DUA and later to cada we all know the
answer to that. But I want to, I want to build on that just a little bit in Charlottetown. This
number four means keeping yourself busy Endura and particularly the short drives. I'm going to
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:28
			mention the reason why
		
00:06:30 --> 00:07:11
			most people in here if not everyone already memorizes Allahumma Inaka 412 hibel Alpha Farfan ni, O
Allah, you are the partner you love to pardon. So pardon me, most of us memorize that. We have been
taught it at a very young age at Hamdulillah. When I show the Allah Allah asked the prophets lie
Selim, what do actually make the prophets lie some did not give her a page that we would all be
fumbling to try to find it and try to repeat it and get through the Arabic of it or No, anyone can
memorize this there and anyone can learn its meaning very quickly. That in and of itself is a Mercy
of Allah subhanaw taala however, they're intimate say, build on that concept of the short,
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:56
			comprehensive duras as you move around on Leila, to cover even Subhanallah even they said if you're
on your way to relieve yourself and come back, keep the short drags on your tongue. Why? Because the
messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said a habit a habit in Allah Maha. The most Beloved, if
you're asked to Allah, the Most Beloved of supplications to Allah are the ones that are the most
comprehensive. What do you say in the loft between a rock and Yamani and 100 s word? The last round
of time off, you just keep repeating what Robyn Tina for dunya Hassan waffleh Hirata Hasina worked
in either but now, as you're moving around, whatever you're doing, as you're trying to think of what
		
00:07:56 --> 00:08:38
			you want to do next, as you're immersed in, you're doing is sandwiched in between your personal
drops, use the short comprehensive drops you memorize from the Sunnah of the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam, and let them engage you throughout the entire night. The short ethika The short
forms of remembrance, and the short comprehensive drops from the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam. Finally your brothers and sisters number five. This is the most comprehensive way to
understand later to codon and it's very important. The narration about the prophets of Allah or
anyone was salam either Dhaka ash Rocha, Zara. We're here Lila who were a father Allahu sallallahu
		
00:08:38 --> 00:09:21
			alayhi wa sallam that when the last 10 Nights would come in, the prophets line salaam would tighten
up his waist belt, and he would give life to the Knights. He would enliven the night the whole night
was alive. What a beautiful expression. The night of the prophesy son was alive and he would wake up
his family he would make sure that his family also was participating in it. Well so Allah say salaam
when he said do not turn your homes into graveyards, assign a share of your Salah to your homes,
don't turn them into graves. Why? Because Vicodin gives life to the heart and it gives life to any
space that we are in mama Shafi or hang on hold on to Allah He has a very important reflection on
		
00:09:21 --> 00:10:00
			this hadith. He says that when you look at the companions of the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa salam,
some of them prefer to spend the night and praying. Some of them prefer to spend the night in karate
and Quran and the recitation of the Quran. Some of them prefer to spend the night in the euro. Some
of them prefer to spend the night distributing their Salah cots, each one of them had a regimen and
they weren't all the same. Because the prophets lie sometimes description in this regard was simply
give life to the night, all of the deeds that would give life to the night. And so every single
Muslim is included in this category that you
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:41
			You have something to give life to every portion of the night. And within that you diversify your
good deeds and an easy way to remember this dear brothers and sisters, is that all of the good deeds
that are preferred in Ramadan are even more preferred in the last two nights of Ramadan and make
sure there's a portion of each one of them in the last 10 Nights. This is what Imam and now we get
to him Allah to Allah said he said that guy let us have honor. He said that our our scholars said
what did you do Mr Hepburn Mr hubco fishery Ramadan well financial Allah theory of model aqidah and
be Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was the son of while he and the whole shahada on Sharif
		
00:10:41 --> 00:11:25
			fell Hassan atrophy of Lalo Marathi, he said what the Allahu Taala Anwar Rahim Allah that our
scholars said that to be generous in Ramadan is highly recommended, as we know from the Prophets lie
Selim Jude, the most broad definition of generosity, and he said specifically during the last 10
Nights, because the best time to emulate the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is in the last two
nights of Ramadan. So every description you have of the prophets lie Selim at that to follow the
prophets lie some in those last 10 Nights is the best way to worship Allah Subhana Allah to Allah,
as it is to worship Allah subhanho wa Taala at any time, and the month is honored as a whole. And
		
00:11:25 --> 00:12:12
			these last 10 nights are the most honored 10 nights of the month. And subhanAllah we find a
connection between particularly in that regard do and charity do and sadaqa to an other to decree.
Why, because the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that there are two things that affect your
divine decree, he mentioned that nothing changes the Divine Decree except for supplication except
for Dora. And he mentioned SallAllahu and even some that nothing extends the life of a person,
except for a sadaqa except for charity that would actually form an extension change the decree and
extend a person's life. So you can find what then on later to cover what then on the Night of
		
00:12:12 --> 00:12:51
			Decree, right, to bring these types of deeds into our lives as well. So as you are there in sha
Allah, tada as you are thinking about how do I fill these hours, diversify, keep going between these
things and know that you are following the setup in some way. One of the companions has a night that
resembles the one that you do, or you hope that your night resembles one of the Sahaba in the
portions that you are assigning, because they were all different in that regard. But all of them
were exerting themselves all 10 nights of Ramadan, giving life to the night in obedience to the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and in seeking the pleasure of Allah. Lastly, the most simple
		
00:12:51 --> 00:13:28
			form of advice. What is the point of clarity Caf? If you're still connected to everybody and
everything in Arabic, if a person could be sitting in the masjid all night long would have their
phone and still be checking groups and still be going on different apps, and still talking to
people. And they are in less arity Caf than a person who's sitting in their bedroom, but has put
their phone to the side. I'm not talking about the technical specs of it, I'm talking about the
meaningful part of it. The whole point is seclusion. So even if you can't do anti cough, and you
know, obviously, we have restrictions this year, in regards to how we would do air to cough, even if
		
00:13:28 --> 00:14:10
			you can't physically do Errante cough, do not leave room for yourself to get lost in something
during the last 10 Nights. So if I could take an oath and Jumar I would from each and every single
one of you. No social media, no WhatsApp, no text messages, no nothing except of course if you're
texting someone from your family, or something just to get something done. None of that during the
last two nights when the time of McNab comes in, put it aside, I'm not going to check anything. I'm
not going to go to anything because Allah knows Allah knows that that one minute turns quickly into
30 minutes and then that one conversation quickly turns into 10 Say 10 cents. Be careful. Cut it all
		
00:14:10 --> 00:14:50
			off in the last two nights Rasul Allah sigh Salem went in complete arity calf in the last 10 Nights.
Let's try to cut it all off inshallah and only maintain what is necessary so that we are able to
communicate with our family but in the nahi town or communicate in ways that need to be communicated
in sha Allah to Allah, but cut it all off and don't leave even an inch of it to corrupt any one of
those precious 10 Nights. Remember Subhanallah later to cuddle the night of later to Qatar was lost
because the prophets lie some came out and he saw two companions that were arguing and ALLAH SubhanA
wa Jana, Rafa, Allah azza wa jal lifted it from the prophets like some of the companions because of
		
00:14:50 --> 00:15:00
			two people that were arguing. Do not be that person Subhanallah where the angels are on their way to
you and then you quickly do something and they leave you don't do that man
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:39
			Allah subhanaw taala allow us to isolate our hearts seclude our hearts, our thoughts, our bodies,
our tongues, everything from that which is displeasing to Allah. May Allah subhanaw taala allow us
to engage in that which is pleasing to Allah Subhana Allah Dear Brothers and Sisters, just like with
hedge, Rafa who super dodgy data and hedge it's don't do anything to mess it up. Don't do anything
to mess up our offer. The same thing is true don't do anything to mess up your data to other May
Allah protect us from doing so. And may Allah allow us to exert ourselves and connect with him in a
way that gives us a lifetime of good deeds and gives us a lifetime of consciousness and Taqwa of
		
00:15:39 --> 00:15:52
			Allah subhana wa Tada so that we rise to the level of exon rise to the level of excellence and be
amongst his most pleasing servants Allah whom I mean, you probably heard that was stuff to Bollywood
