00:00:00 --> 00:00:02
			In 30 seconds, give your favorite Ramadan memory
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:04
			to the person next to you.
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:33
			My favorite?
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:37
			Fundraising for the Mas'id.
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:38
			Mas'Allah.
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:40
			Alright.
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:42
			Are we good to go?
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:07
			Actually, insatrade, and
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:10
			I wanted to do this last talk together.
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:10
			And
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:15
			we wanted first and foremost to ask Allah
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:16
			Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala to accept
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:18
			from each and every single one of us.
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:20
			May Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala accept our saliam.
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:22
			May He accept our atiam.
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:24
			May He accept our recitation of the Quran,
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:27
			may He accept our dua, may He accept
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:30
			our sadaqah. May Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala forgive
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:32
			us for any shortcomings that we have in
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:34
			regards to our relationship with Him or in
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:37
			regards to our relationship with each other. Allahumma
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:39
			ameen. So first and foremost, we ask Allah
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:40
			Subhana Wa Ta'ala to accept.
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:43
			Secondly, can everyone who embrace the Islam this
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:45
			Ramadan just raise your hand in the crowd,
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:46
			Insha'Allah.
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:50
			May Allah bless you all,
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:52
			and may Allah
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:54
			keep you all firm.
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:57
			We probably had in this congregation, maybe over
		
00:01:57 --> 00:02:00
			60, 70 people this Ramadan embrace Islam. We
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:03
			had 7 people alone on the 27th night.
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:05
			So we wanna welcome everyone into our community
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:07
			that embrace Islam, as well as those that
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:09
			have embraced Islam online, and ask Allah to
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:10
			keep them firm.
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:13
			The last thing, dear brothers and sisters, before
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:15
			I share just a few words, inshaAllah ta'ala,
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:18
			please give a special thanks
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:21
			to the volunteers and to the security today.
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:23
			SubhanAllah to see them running around in the
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:24
			rain
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:26
			to get everyone set up
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:29
			today was truly inspiring and it's a testament
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:31
			to the amount of work that they've been
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:34
			putting in. So please do, Insha'Allah, thank all
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:36
			the volunteers within Nai Ta'ala.
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:39
			Dear brothers and sisters,
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:41
			a quick reminder,
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:42
			we're still in Ramadan.
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:46
			Tonight could be the night of Bayritul Qadr
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:48
			as well. We ask Allah Subhana Wa Ta'la
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:49
			to make us amongst those that catch it,
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:50
			Allahumma Ameen.
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:53
			So don't take this night as if it's
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:54
			a bonus night.
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:56
			This is a night that could very well
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:59
			be that night, so worship as hard as
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:01
			you would every other night, bid nullai ta'ala.
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:03
			At the bare minimum,
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:05
			this is the 10th best night of the
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:07
			year at the minimum,
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:09
			which still means it is worthy of being
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:12
			honored, Bayun Nillayahu Ta'ala, with your Ibadah to
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:14
			the full extent, inshaAllah ta'ala. So keep your
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:15
			dhikr, keep your remembrance of Allah
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:19
			And of the etiquettes towards Ramadan before Sheikh
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:22
			Yasir talks about the etiquettes of Eid is
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:25
			that you take advantage of every single moment.
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:27
			If you can allocate
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:30
			the last hour of your Ramadan to be
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:32
			in the masjid and making du'a, then it
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:34
			is beautiful. If you can spend the asr
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:35
			to Maghrib,
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:38
			inshaAllah ta'ala, or the last hour just reading
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:39
			Quran, making du'a,
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:42
			take advantage of every last moment of the
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:44
			night and every last moment that is left
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:46
			of the day. This is a month that
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:48
			is kareem. It's a month that is generous,
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:49
			that is sacred.
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:50
			So honor it baytmanayta
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:53
			until the very last moment. I just wanna
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:55
			give you 3 facets of this month inshaAllah
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:57
			ta'ala in terms with the etiquette as we
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:58
			transition into read.
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:01
			As you came into this month, you established
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:03
			a new relationship with your Lord, a new
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:05
			relationship with those that are around you.
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:08
			Ask for your Lord, you exit from this
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:11
			month and Subhanallah, you go from 1 dhikr
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:12
			to another dhikr.
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:14
			And this is the beauty
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:16
			of our lives with Allah, Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:18
			is that you go from 1 dhikr to
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:20
			another dhikr. In Hajj, may Allah
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:22
			write us down and accept it Hajj, You
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:24
			are saying,
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:28
			Here we come, O Allah, here we come
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:30
			until You stone the Jamarat, and then you
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:33
			simply transition to Allahu Akbar Allahu Akbar
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:37
			So here we are, oh Allah, to Allah
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:37
			is the greatest.
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:39
			In these
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:40
			last moments,
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:51
			Oh Allah you are the most forgiving, you
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:53
			love to forgive so forgive us. You're begging
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:55
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala for forgiveness until the
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:57
			very last moment. And that's how you should
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:59
			end your Ramadan tonight, the last night of
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:02
			it. And you should end your day tomorrow
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:02
			with ninda
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:05
			when the hilal of Shawwal
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:08
			comes in. And then as soon as the
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:10
			hilal of Shawwal comes in, what he took
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:10
			me
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:12
			to
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:19
			That you declare the greatness of your Lord
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:20
			and you thank Him for what He has
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:21
			guided you to.
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:25
			You thank Allah for guiding you to Islam.
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:27
			You thank Allah for guiding you to Ramadan.
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:29
			So you go from asking for forgiveness to
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:31
			declaring Allah's greatness.
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:40
			To you belongs all praise, oh Allah.
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:43
			Before you now go back to feeding your
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:45
			body and saying, Alhamdulillah for the food that
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:48
			you appreciate more, you say Alhamdulillah for the
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:50
			nirmah of Islam that you appreciate more than
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:52
			any other nirma in your life. So with
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:53
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala,
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:56
			you're simply going from one dhikr to another
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:59
			dhikr. And even subhanallah, in the
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:01
			the mansion,
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:09
			The hereafter is better and longer lasting. It's
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:09
			a reminder
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:12
			that you should have learned now to connect
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:14
			yourself to the hereafter and have a greater
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:15
			appetite for the hereafter
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:19
			than this world. And then, dear brothers and
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:21
			sisters, as for with each other, how does
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:23
			our relationship with each other change? As for
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:25
			the global ummah, zakatul fitter
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:26
			is an Ibadah.
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:28
			It's a form of expiation
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:31
			that everyone should be able to eat and
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:33
			drink. And for those that we cannot reach
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:35
			with our zakah, we ask Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:37
			ta'ala that we're allowed to reach them with
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:39
			our dua. And I'm talking about our starving
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:40
			brothers and sisters in Gaza.
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:44
			That we should not feast alone on that
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:44
			day.
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:47
			That we should eat together and enjoy that
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:49
			nirmah together. And so your relationship with your
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:52
			ummah has changed. You were making du'a intensely
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:55
			for them in these last nights, giving charity,
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:57
			and now you are seeking to celebrate with
		
00:06:57 --> 00:06:59
			your ummah as well. We ask Allah subhanahu
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:01
			wa ta'ala to accept all of the ibadah
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:03
			from all of us, on behalf of all
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:06
			of us. Allahumma ameen, as one ummah. And
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:08
			then lastly, dear brothers and sisters, as I'll
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:10
			hand it off to Shaykh Yasir Binnina. You
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:11
			know we have a beautiful habit in this
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:14
			masjid of introducing each other, you know to
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:16
			our to each other, to the person next
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:18
			to us. And this is a good tradition
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:20
			inshaAllah ta'ala. We hope that it's a sign
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:22
			of a welcoming community bayudun Nahi Ta'ala.
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:24
			We know that the Prophet
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:28
			used to come to the in one way
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:29
			and then go home another way. And this
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:30
			is the only id etiquette I'll cover before
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:32
			I handed off to shirkias, inshallah.
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:35
			And one of the wisdoms of that, beyond
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:37
			simply changing your ways representing a new found
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:38
			perspective,
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:41
			is that the Prophet would give salaam to
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:43
			the people on both routes.
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:45
			So if you think of Turukul Madina, the
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:49
			pathways of Madina, by taking another route home,
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:52
			the prophet was simply giving the opportunity to
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:54
			say salaam to as many people as possible.
		
00:07:54 --> 00:07:56
			Say salaam to the people insha'Allah ta'ala.
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:00
			Spread salaam,
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:03
			spread and feed one another, feed the poor
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:04
			especially,
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:05
			and continue
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:07
			even after Eid
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:10
			Pray at night while other people sleep.
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:14
			Tahajjud is over in the masjid, taraweeh is
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:17
			over in the masjid. Diya continues for you,
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:18
			inshaAllah ta'ala.
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:20
			Take on that habit and maintain
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:21
			it So tomorrow,
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:24
			or the day after tomorrow, I mean technically
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:26
			we're in the night, the last night, so
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:28
			tomorrow is the last day. As the Eid
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:31
			dawns upon us, inshaAllah ta'ala. Make sure that
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:34
			you say salaam to everyone. And when it
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:36
			comes to spreading yourself out and extending your
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:38
			hand, don't just go to the people that
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:40
			you know, inshaAllah. Say salaam to everyone, inshaAllah
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:40
			ta'ala.
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:43
			That is around you, Extend that salaam, make
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:44
			someone's David
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:47
			with that salaam. It's an Ibadah to do
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:48
			so. And if you live across the street
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:50
			or you live anywhere else, it's hard for
		
00:08:50 --> 00:08:52
			you to figure out a way to come
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:54
			and go back a different way, just go
		
00:08:54 --> 00:08:56
			to Sheikh Yasir's house. What's your address, Sheikh?
		
00:08:57 --> 00:08:59
			Just go do one circle to Sheikh Yasir's
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:00
			house and come back from Campion Hollows, and
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:02
			you can go to silver leaf. Right Shaykh?
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:04
			What's the address? You don't wanna share what
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:07
			it is. Okay. You're you're just closer man.
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:09
			In any case,
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:12
			Mashallah Sheikh Yasir, I'd like to ask you
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:14
			to please, in the night time I come,
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:15
			and I wanna say, Jazak Allahu Khaydun to
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:18
			Sheikh Yasir on behalf of the entire community.
		
00:09:18 --> 00:09:19
			May Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala accept from him
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:20
			all of his efforts and all of his
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:23
			service. May Allah Subhanahu wa'ala as he united
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:24
			us in this masjid. May Allah Subhanahu wa'ala
		
00:09:24 --> 00:09:26
			unite our hearts and allow us to be
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:28
			together in the highest level of paradise.
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:33
			And thank you for allowing me to use
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:33
			my office.
		
00:09:34 --> 00:09:37
			And actually, let me just park in my
		
00:09:37 --> 00:09:39
			parking spots regularly. Alhamdulillah, I mean, without any
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:42
			harassment. Alhamdulillah, I thank you very much.
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:44
			Alhamdulillah. Abi wsallallahu alhamdulillah.
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:48
			Brothers and sisters, this season is now the
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:51
			season of patience. Right? What comes after that?
		
00:09:51 --> 00:09:52
			The season of what?
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:55
			When you end Ramadan, you end Ramadan with
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:56
			what?
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:59
			With sugar, gratitude. Isn't that what Allah subhanahu
		
00:09:59 --> 00:10:00
			wa ta'ala said to us,
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:07
			So that you will count the full term
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:09
			of Ramadan. Alhamdulillah. 30 days we have, Insha'Allah,
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:14
			We glorify
		
00:10:17 --> 00:10:20
			Allah Like you're praising Allah and thanking him
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:20
			for that opportunity
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:23
			so that you become
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:24
			grateful.
		
00:10:24 --> 00:10:27
			So that's now an opportunity to start practicing
		
00:10:27 --> 00:10:28
			that gratitude, insha Allah,
		
00:10:29 --> 00:10:31
			with this evening. Because this night is the
		
00:10:31 --> 00:10:33
			last night for the month of Ramadan. And
		
00:10:33 --> 00:10:34
			by the way, we're still gonna have, insha
		
00:10:34 --> 00:10:36
			Allah, the 1 AM Binnillah Azza Jhal session.
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:38
			And also we have Binnillah at the Tajjud
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:39
			at 3 AM Binnillah Azzajal.
		
00:10:40 --> 00:10:42
			Just for the last night. So that's now
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:44
			a time when we start now
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:46
			transferring and transitioning
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:48
			from patience to gratitude.
		
00:10:48 --> 00:10:51
			And I want you tonight, inshallah, to think
		
00:10:51 --> 00:10:52
			about the blessings
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:54
			of being in this month of Ramadan and
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:55
			going through the month of Ramadan.
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:58
			And what are you grateful for? What are
		
00:10:58 --> 00:11:00
			you gonna carry with you after the month
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:00
			of Ramadan?
		
00:11:01 --> 00:11:02
			The things that you're gonna be grateful for
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:03
			inshallah, that
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:06
			you will carry along with you after the
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:07
			month of Ramadan.
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:08
			There are so many things to be appreciative
		
00:11:08 --> 00:11:11
			of course. Your friendships, the new people you
		
00:11:11 --> 00:11:12
			met here, alhamdulillah,
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:14
			the opportunities to come to the Masjid regularly,
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:16
			the ability to be able to recite the
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:18
			Quran, listen to the Quran, The ability, alhamdulillah,
		
00:11:18 --> 00:11:20
			to go through the month of Ramadan,
		
00:11:21 --> 00:11:23
			with ease. Many, many things you will be
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:25
			grateful for. And that's one of the things
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:27
			that, alhamdulillah, that's a blessing that Allah has
		
00:11:27 --> 00:11:30
			given us one model of gratitude to show
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:32
			in this month of Ramadan, which is the
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:34
			end of it. And that is salatulid.
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:37
			So Salatul Eid is actually is one way
		
00:11:37 --> 00:11:38
			of saying alhamdulillah
		
00:11:38 --> 00:11:41
			and saying shukur to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:11:41 --> 00:11:43
			Zakat al Futtur is is of is one
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:45
			of the manifestation of this gratitude.
		
00:11:46 --> 00:11:48
			Because now that you will be able to
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:50
			break your fast, Allah subhanahu wa'ala was reminding
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:53
			us there are other people in your community
		
00:11:53 --> 00:11:56
			might not even have enough food to break
		
00:11:56 --> 00:11:58
			their fast on 8 day. That's why the
		
00:11:58 --> 00:12:00
			kat al Fotr or Olama, they will emphasize
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:01
			that it needs to be given in food
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:02
			usually.
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:04
			Why? Because some communities, they don't even have
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:07
			that food. So on 8th day, no one
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:08
			needs to be fasting.
		
00:12:09 --> 00:12:11
			No one should be fasting by choice or
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:12
			by circumstances.
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:14
			So by choice, one of the concerns of
		
00:12:14 --> 00:12:16
			Eid is, well, before you come to salatul
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:18
			Eid, actually after fajr, as a matter of
		
00:12:18 --> 00:12:20
			fact, you break your fast.
		
00:12:20 --> 00:12:22
			You break your fast with dates, with water,
		
00:12:22 --> 00:12:23
			and then you come to the masjid inshallah,
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:24
			ta'ala.
		
00:12:24 --> 00:12:26
			Some other people, may Allah subhanahu, make it
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:28
			easy for them, you rabbil alamin. It's just,
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:31
			their their situation, they can't even break their
		
00:12:31 --> 00:12:32
			fast because they have nothing to break their
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:33
			fast with.
		
00:12:33 --> 00:12:35
			And I bring to that our attention the
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:37
			situation in Gaza. May Allah, Subhanahu, make it
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:39
			easy for our brothers and sisters of Daria
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:40
			rabbal 'alamin.
		
00:12:40 --> 00:12:42
			It was it was interesting today, I, subhanAllah,
		
00:12:42 --> 00:12:45
			saw a video in which they were asking
		
00:12:45 --> 00:12:45
			children
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:48
			about what they wish for. So they brought
		
00:12:49 --> 00:12:51
			a contrast, of course, you know, image.
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:53
			So kids in the west, when they were
		
00:12:53 --> 00:12:55
			asked what do they wish for, they would
		
00:12:55 --> 00:12:58
			say 1,000,000,000 of dollars. A car, Lamborghini, this,
		
00:12:58 --> 00:13:00
			that. That's what they wish for. And then
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:03
			some of the transition into children from Gaza
		
00:13:03 --> 00:13:04
			and they were asking them what do you
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:05
			wish for? While they're smiling,
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:07
			they wish for what?
		
00:13:07 --> 00:13:09
			Simple things. Say, I wish my brother actually
		
00:13:09 --> 00:13:11
			is still alive so I can actually be
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:11
			with him.
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:13
			I wish I can see my dad. I
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:15
			wish I can have food to eat. I
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:18
			wish the most basic thing that you overlook.
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:20
			Ullah, that video I had to play it
		
00:13:20 --> 00:13:23
			multiple times to remind myself of the blessings
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:25
			that are all around me I'm not paying
		
00:13:25 --> 00:13:26
			attention to.
		
00:13:26 --> 00:13:28
			So one of these things is the ability
		
00:13:28 --> 00:13:30
			to be able to break your fast on
		
00:13:30 --> 00:13:32
			8th day. Even though it's a given thing,
		
00:13:32 --> 00:13:33
			subhanAllah.
		
00:13:33 --> 00:13:35
			But now it's becoming a blessing that we
		
00:13:35 --> 00:13:37
			can't even we can't even imagine how great
		
00:13:37 --> 00:13:39
			a blessing that is to be able to
		
00:13:39 --> 00:13:40
			break your fast on 8th day.
		
00:13:40 --> 00:13:42
			Another thing from the prophet salallahu alaihi wa
		
00:13:42 --> 00:13:44
			sama' sunnah is to come out to salatul
		
00:13:44 --> 00:13:45
			aid. When it comes out to salatul aid,
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:47
			our ulema, they they they,
		
00:13:48 --> 00:13:49
			they spoke about the ruling of salat al
		
00:13:49 --> 00:13:51
			aid. So some of the al amat considers
		
00:13:51 --> 00:13:53
			to be wajib, that you have to come
		
00:13:53 --> 00:13:56
			if you're capable and able that you need
		
00:13:56 --> 00:13:57
			to attend Salat Al Eid as if you
		
00:13:57 --> 00:13:59
			attended Salat Al Jum'ah. So so for them,
		
00:13:59 --> 00:14:01
			it's actually considered wajib.
		
00:14:03 --> 00:14:05
			Like, if you don't if no one does
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:06
			it in the in the community, they're all
		
00:14:06 --> 00:14:08
			sinful. Like in the Hambali school, for example.
		
00:14:08 --> 00:14:10
			But the majority of the scholars, they say
		
00:14:10 --> 00:14:13
			it's sunnah tul Mu'akkala. That is a sunnah
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:15
			that is highly emphasized on by the prophet
		
00:14:15 --> 00:14:16
			sallallahu alaihi wasallam.
		
00:14:17 --> 00:14:19
			To the extent that the prophet sallallahu alaihi
		
00:14:19 --> 00:14:21
			wasallam ordered everybody in the household to come
		
00:14:21 --> 00:14:22
			out to the masjid.
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:26
			The men, women, children, adults, everybody.
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:28
			Including women who are on their period. They
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:30
			don't have to even to pray. The prophet
		
00:14:30 --> 00:14:31
			salallahu alaihi wa sallam, he said that they
		
00:14:31 --> 00:14:32
			come out so that they be with the
		
00:14:32 --> 00:14:34
			Jama'at al Muslimen. They
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:37
			listen to the khair and the good, alhamdulillah,
		
00:14:37 --> 00:14:39
			reminder and be in the celebration of festivity
		
00:14:39 --> 00:14:41
			of Eid with everybody else.
		
00:14:41 --> 00:14:44
			So everybody needs to be out insha Allahu
		
00:14:44 --> 00:14:45
			ta'ala to celebrate the Eid bin Allahi a
		
00:14:45 --> 00:14:46
			zawajal.
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:47
			Since it's a congregational
		
00:14:47 --> 00:14:49
			place, it's also from the sun of the
		
00:14:49 --> 00:14:49
			prophet
		
00:14:51 --> 00:14:53
			that when you come to this congregation, I
		
00:14:53 --> 00:14:55
			brought in prayers to do it, the best
		
00:14:55 --> 00:14:56
			in the best form.
		
00:14:56 --> 00:14:58
			So you shower. You dress up in the
		
00:14:58 --> 00:15:00
			best way, of course, in a halal manner,
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:02
			obviously. Dress and shower in the best way,
		
00:15:02 --> 00:15:03
			you can
		
00:15:04 --> 00:15:07
			Smell nicely. Ready for salatul aidbihilahi taqbaraqa wa
		
00:15:07 --> 00:15:09
			ta'ala and you come. You come to the
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:11
			masjid, so you start doing your takbirat until
		
00:15:11 --> 00:15:13
			the salah is performed. Now
		
00:15:15 --> 00:15:16
			when you come to the masjid and you
		
00:15:16 --> 00:15:16
			press.
		
00:15:18 --> 00:15:19
			We're gonna explain
		
00:15:20 --> 00:15:23
			but khutbat al aid. Do I have to
		
00:15:23 --> 00:15:24
			attend khutbat al aid?
		
00:15:24 --> 00:15:27
			Even though it's not mandatory to stay for
		
00:15:27 --> 00:15:29
			the khutba of salat al aid after salah
		
00:15:29 --> 00:15:31
			is over. But it's still highly recommended to
		
00:15:31 --> 00:15:33
			be there. And it's a ceremonial khutbah. It's
		
00:15:33 --> 00:15:35
			a short khutbah, a short reminder, InshaAllah, to
		
00:15:35 --> 00:15:37
			celebrate the Eid together, bin alaihi aza wajal.
		
00:15:46 --> 00:15:48
			Once there's something you've got you're done from
		
00:15:48 --> 00:15:48
			salatulayid,
		
00:15:48 --> 00:15:50
			then that's when you celebrate and greet each
		
00:15:50 --> 00:15:52
			other inshallah as a community. And don't forget
		
00:15:52 --> 00:15:53
			about your families.
		
00:15:54 --> 00:15:55
			Don't forget about those who are not around
		
00:15:55 --> 00:15:58
			you. Call them. Send them inshallah the the
		
00:15:58 --> 00:16:00
			the greetings and celebrate with them.
		
00:16:02 --> 00:16:03
			Sheikh Omar mentioned something very important that when
		
00:16:03 --> 00:16:05
			you come in one way then you go
		
00:16:05 --> 00:16:07
			to the other way insha Allahu Ta'ala so
		
00:16:07 --> 00:16:08
			you can increase the khair
		
00:16:08 --> 00:16:10
			and the reminders and the salaam and the
		
00:16:10 --> 00:16:12
			greetings and celebration
		
00:16:12 --> 00:16:13
			in the entire community.
		
00:16:15 --> 00:16:16
			Now,
		
00:16:17 --> 00:16:19
			there is so much we could really do
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:20
			on a on a Eid day.
		
00:16:20 --> 00:16:22
			But like the sheikh sheikh Omar mentioned, don't
		
00:16:22 --> 00:16:25
			make Yomul Eid, become, the welcome party for
		
00:16:25 --> 00:16:26
			the sheikhtan.
		
00:16:27 --> 00:16:29
			Make sure that this is still, alhamdulillah, part
		
00:16:29 --> 00:16:32
			of your best Ibadat. The best Ibadat inshaAllahahu
		
00:16:33 --> 00:16:33
			ta'ala.
		
00:16:34 --> 00:16:36
			I want to remind myself and each and
		
00:16:36 --> 00:16:38
			every one of you that this day is
		
00:16:38 --> 00:16:40
			going to be a day of celebration and
		
00:16:40 --> 00:16:42
			a day of showing gratitude to Allah Subhanahu
		
00:16:42 --> 00:16:43
			wa ta'ala. One thing happens that I hope,
		
00:16:43 --> 00:16:46
			insha Allah, we keep that in mind.
		
00:16:46 --> 00:16:48
			On that day, there'll be a lot of
		
00:16:48 --> 00:16:50
			extravagance in terms of food
		
00:16:50 --> 00:16:52
			and wasting food. So please,
		
00:16:53 --> 00:16:54
			my dear brothers and sisters,
		
00:16:55 --> 00:16:57
			there's nothing wrong of of sharing, alhamdulillah,
		
00:16:58 --> 00:17:00
			a good amount of food with your guests.
		
00:17:00 --> 00:17:02
			Ibrahim alayhi salam brought a whole cow for
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:02
			3 people.
		
00:17:03 --> 00:17:06
			But after you're done, make sure nothing is
		
00:17:06 --> 00:17:06
			wasted.
		
00:17:07 --> 00:17:08
			And even if you're gonna be gone somewhere
		
00:17:08 --> 00:17:10
			else, and you're taking your family with you
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:13
			and your children with you, please be observant
		
00:17:13 --> 00:17:15
			and teach your children that lesson.
		
00:17:15 --> 00:17:17
			Not to take more than what they're gonna
		
00:17:17 --> 00:17:19
			be eating and also not to waste anything.
		
00:17:19 --> 00:17:21
			Because part of being grateful is also to
		
00:17:21 --> 00:17:24
			appreciate that Namal food, especially under the circumstances
		
00:17:25 --> 00:17:26
			of what's going on in the world and
		
00:17:26 --> 00:17:28
			there in Farsun al Gaza. We need to
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:29
			keep that in our hearts and shine in
		
00:17:29 --> 00:17:30
			our mind.
		
00:17:31 --> 00:17:34
			From all of you. And part of showing
		
00:17:34 --> 00:17:37
			my gratitude to, alhamdulillah, and this evening and
		
00:17:37 --> 00:17:38
			this moment, I wanna say
		
00:17:38 --> 00:17:40
			for the whole entire community
		
00:17:40 --> 00:17:42
			for being such a wonderful and amazing community,
		
00:17:42 --> 00:17:43
