Open US Marine ministry forms no human come to life without me wanting to learn a lot. I mean, well around people who didn't want to be in a local study with them about a karate kata silica Muhammad in Salalah. And he was selling wine early. He was like we used to live in a significant theater. What is tonight?
What's tonight that someone really just say Saturday
27th night of Ramadan Hamdulillah. I mean, is there any significance to the 27th night of Ramadan, specifically.
And this is what I want to address with the 90 Tiana and I want us to actually see it from the lens of the community of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa Salaam. Now we see all of these narrations about the special nature of the last two nights. And then you start to find some narrations that suggests something very interesting. That masala spice and I'm pushed harder as the end of Ramadan came closer. So for example, there's a very beautiful narration from a North American, but she wrote the Allahu Taala animal. He says that we prayed with the Prophet sallallahu. It was one year and it was the 23rd night. And we prayed with him until we finished about a third of the night in prayer.
And then that same year, the prophets lie some stood up and he led us in prayer on the 25th night. And we prayed until we finished about half of the night in prayer. And then he said, We prayed with the Prophet sallallahu and he was still him on the 27th night of Ramadan. And he said we prayed with him until we thought we were going to miss Su. Okay, that's one narration another narration from Billa al Habashi Radi Allahu Tada annual the advent of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam that beloved of the Allah Tala and who said seek out later to Qatar in the last week of Ramadan. They've been amaro the Allah Tada and Huma also says in the last seven of Ramadan, so you have these
narrations, right? And here's a very interesting narration one that causes a lot a lot of Haryana to come to a conclusion about this 27th night of Ramadan and here's the scene
who was the first khalifa to gather the people behind the one imam for total we
you guys are gonna have to answer me we need energy inshallah I want to follow the Allah Tada on her very good. So the prophets lie some we know that in his lifetime, he prayed a few nights with the Sahaba and tarawih in congregation and then the prophets lie some was afraid that it would be taken as a fettled on the OMA that it would become an obligation for them. So the prophets lie some instead encourage them to do their total we had home right just so that it would not be written as an obligation upon us. So that was the wisdom of the Prophet so I said I'm however, the Sunnah is established in that regard. Now when almoner blah blah blah the Allah Tada and assumed the hereafter
and it's only two and a half years after the Prophet slice on his death because the zenith of Abubakar or the Allah Tala Anna was very short. People were praying in the masjid again, but they were praying in groups. So you had some groups praying that with any mom that would read 20 ayaats per Raka and he will read them very, very, very fast. You had some groups praying with 25 You had some groups praying with 30 ayat, so praying behind different Imams, and Amara Tarboro the Allah Tala and who gathered them behind one Imam, what was the name of that Imam
will be able to count remember the available capital the Allahu Taala and who who is obey obey the Allahu Taala and who is a man that the Prophet size so then said that you should take the Quran from him he put him in the category of Ibn Masaru little the Allah Tada and Hosana Mota it'd be later he put them in that high category of people to take the Quran from Okay, that is obey have no capital they Allah and obey is the person, the prophet slice and I'm told Allah commanded me to read Quran to you
to read through the bayonet to you
and obaidul The Allah Tada and also the artists that Allah Somani Wedeman Allah said my name he said yes, Allah said your name, and he started to cry. Before he could look for the prophets lie some could even recite for anthem the fact that Allah told the prophets lie Selim to recite a surah to him by name is very special to obey with no capital the Allah
Tada, no, so he is a companion who reads the Quran the way that it should be read who lives the Quran, who received the Quran from the Prophet sites. And so he's leading the Sahaba in Jannah. In total we, within a decade of the death of the Prophet slice sunnah and the message of the of the prophets lie Selim. Okay, now obey of new capital, the Allahu taala. And what was the point of all of this will be was the person who said I swear by Allah, that Laylat al Qadr is the 27th night.
You see now why it's so significant.
He's not just some companion, it's not just a hadith. It's from an authority, particularly in Quran and authority in Ramadan, a person who has high ranking amongst the Sahaba who says I swear by Allah that later to Qatar is the 27th night of Ramadan, I heard it from the Prophet salAllahu alayhi wasallam that the 27th night is Laila to other if you're sitting in the masjid of the Prophet slice on him and it's Ramadan, and evade or the allot of time and who stands up and he says that, isn't that going to land in your heart in a certain way? It will, right? It will Subhan Allah. So what happens then you then find these other narrations narration for more Alia Well, the Allah Tada I
know that later cutters, the 27th night, some other Sahaba that also said the same the 27th, the 27th, the 27th and someone took they have no capital the Allahu Taala no to the side, it's also an another narration. And he said, Oh, wait, he said your brother had been masu, there'll be a lot of time and who was asked about Laylatul Qadr. And he said, whoever wants to catch later to either let him observe every night in prayer, not the last time period. You want later to recover. You need to observe every single night looking for later than father so the point was, work, push yourself. So obaidul the law in Santa Ana responding said Mahim Allah Rahim Allah may Allah have mercy on him
Allah, Allah yet tequila, your tequila, NASA. He did not want may Allah have mercy on him. My brother had been Massoud did not want people to get lazy and complacent. But he reaffirmed I heard the prophets lie. Some told me it was the 27th night how do we come to terms with this another narration by the way, an old man who came to the Prophet sly suddenly told the prophets lies on the other side. It's hard for me to do all these last 10 nights. The prophets lie some told them seek out the odd nights then he said the others little Allah I can't even do all of the odd nights for God Allahu alayhi salatu salam, alayka, Serbia, then make sure that you catch the 27th night. It's
an authentic narration as well. What do we take from all of this? Well, first and foremost
obaidul The Allahu Tada and who is being truthful? No one doubts the authority of obaidul the Allahu taala. I know, however, the question is, is it the 27th night every single year? Or was it just that time that the prophets lie someone was telling him that? Another possibility is the prophets lie, someone was saying that the 27th of the last 10 Nights is the most likely of the odd nights on a recurring basis to be laid at the cottage. That's also a possibility, right? It is the most likely of the last 10 nights to be late. It's uncluttered. That's also a possibility there. Because we already mentioned the Hadith Oh, sorry, then for the you know, the Allahu Taala and hope that they
prayed with the Prophets lie some and data to others that year was the 23rd night.
Is there any practical benefits of this? Or did I just waste 10 minutes of your time,
or eight minutes of your time? Here's what I will say about this, which is very important. The practical benefit of this is that obey You know, the Allahu taala. And who did not only show up to leave Korea on the 27th night, even though he thought it was 27 at night for sure. He would leave the Sahaba every single night he didn't leave his air decaf. There is absolutely no indication of the Sahaba taking breaks. At this time. However, one of the practical benefits and some of the element mentioned about the narration of that old man, if you have the situation of that old man. So let's say for example, you work a job that gives you night shifts, and your job is only going to
give you one or two nights off from the last 10 Nights. Then on the basis of that hadith. Maybe you say all right, well, if I can only take one night off of the last 10 nights, and I can only observe the full arity calf the full camp, I'll take the 27th night because there's some particular likelihood or probability according to some of the companions that this one is the most likely night. However for everybody else. Subhanallah every single one of the last 10 Nights was precious. You also don't know if you're odd is even or you're even as odd. The moon sighting you don't know. So you push yourself and you push yourself and you push yourself. With all that being said Dear
Brothers and Sisters, it's the 27th of night.
Push yourself. Push yourself
If you were in that masjid and obaidul, the Allahu Anhu stood up and said, I swear by Allah. Rasool Allah sai Salam, pointing to the grave told me it was the 27th night. And I don't want you to get lazy and complacent but I told you as the 27th might imagine if Shafi Asad stood up, wearing a vest,
his dust and all of its glory, and said it's the 27th night, it's gonna land in a certain way, right? Seriously, your brothers and sisters that hamdulillah for what we have, what a blessing of Allah subhanaw taala that we have pushed yourself tonight don't waste any of these precious moments. Because if you were sitting in that message with a Sahaba and you just heard that, oh my god. This is a night it's not the night for sure. But it's a night and of course the practical benefit, even if it was 90% that 27th night is that is later to put that every single year. Are you really going to miss out on teittleman Elfi Shahab for the last 10 Nights, even if it's 10%, and the last
benefit, I'll say in this regard, by the way,
the last two nights of Ramadan, this might be a this is most likely going to be a 30 night Ramadan, the 30th Night seek it until its last moment, every indication is that the Sahaba only picked up their worship as the last two nights going along. One of the things that you see happen and it's natural sometimes is that after 27th night everything kind of dips. It's like we get into eat mode right after 27th night No, no, no.
We have a few more precious nights. We still have the 29th night out there. And the 30th night could be longer than two because the odd could be the evening in the evening could be the odd let's push ourselves in sha Allah Tiana and let's remember our brothers and sisters and an axon our dua
Do not leave your brothers and sisters out. I know how many people are watching the videos and following the news. Our hearts needs to be connected right concern needs to be there. Let that concern translate into May Allah subhanaw taala liberate them may Allah subhanaw taala get grant them victory over their oppressors May Allah subhanho wa Taala free that sacred Masjid the first Qibla of the Muslims may Allah subhanaw taala free it from occupation and free it from oppression Allahumma Amin don't forget them. And don't forget the other Muslims who are not only having to think about in the last 10 nights you know whether or not they can adjust their sleep schedules
they're having to worry about grenades falling on them and military boots on their necks and people mistreating them while they try to pray. So don't forget them to your brothers and sisters in your duat tonight, just talking a little fight on Sunday morning when I'm talking to council
