Omar Suleiman – FIVE Lists to Make for #Ramadan

			So you have your to-not-do list,
		

			you have your to-do list, you have
		

			your to-fix list, you have your quantity
		

			list, you have your qualities list.
		

			Your to-not-do list is more important
		

			than your to-do list in the sight
		

			of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		

			Your to leave off what you're going to
		

			stop is more important than what you're going
		

			to start.
		

			Because you are meant to go back to
		

			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		

			Your fitrah, your natural inclination is to go
		

			back to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		

			Jannah is your destination on the GPS so
		

			long as you don't take a wrong turn.
		

			So your to-not-do list is more
		

			important than your to-do list.
		

			So I'm challenging each of you to first
		

			and foremost have a to-not-do list
		

			for Ramadan.
		

			And then make your to-do list.
		

			Then after your to-do list, make your
		

			to-fix list.
		

			And those are the relationships, those are strained
		

			relationships that you need to fix.
		

			Make your list from now, what are the
		

			quantifiable consistent deeds that I will do after
		

			Ramadan.
		

			Make your after Ramadan quantity list now.
		

			Don't wait till Ramadan finishes to try to
		

			pick up the scraps.
		

			Say, in Ramadan I'm going to read this
		

			much Qur'an, after Ramadan I think I
		

			can reasonably do this much every single day.
		

			After Ramadan I'm going to try to pick
		

			up my qiyam al-layl, I think I
		

			can pray witr every night insha'Allah ta
		

			'ala.
		

			I think knowing myself I can do witr
		

			every night.
		

			I think I can add two rak'ahs
		

			every night.
		

			You have your qualities list.
		

			What are the qualities?
		

			I want you to open the beginning of
		

			surah al-Mu'minun and the end of al
		

			-Furqan.
		

			The qualities of al-Mu'minun, the qualities of
		

			the believers in the beginning of surah al
		

			-Mu'minun, قَدْ أَفْلَحَ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ الَّذِينَ هُمْ فِى صَلَاتِهِمْ
		

			خَاشِعُونَ Until the end of it, those qualities.
		

			And I want you to read, وَعِبَادُ الرَّحْمَٰنَ
		

			الَّذِينَ يَمْشُونَ عَلَىٰ الْأَرْضِ هَوْنَا وَإِذَا خَاطَبَهُمُ الْجَاهِلُونَ
		

			قَالُوا سَلَامًا The last deeds of the servants
		

			of the Most Merciful.
