			Santa Monica Moroccans library card. So everyone welcome back to the virtues of the hedger and Eve
Mubarak to you all and your families. I want to reflect on something very beautiful that Allah says
in the Quran and how it really ties into this law school before the law what we recommend it for be
very carefully have Rahu O'Hara, Hiram, NIH, Maryland that say in the bounty of Allah and His mercy,
let them rejoice in that and that is greater than all that they gather of this world when they
rejoice in the bounty and the mercy of Allah subhanaw taala. We have two or two holidays in Islam to
feasts in Islam. One comes after the best 10 nights, the other eight comes after the best 10 days.
		

			One or eight comes after a month of fasting, the trauma bond, and we celebrate that and again,
particularly the last 10 nights there eight immediately follows that. And another eight follows the
best 10 days with the best good deeds that we could possibly present to Allah subhanho wa Taala one
or eight comes after Laila to the other, which is the best of the last 10 nights this one night that
is worth an entire lifetime. And one eighth comes after alpha, which is the best day of the year,
and a day in which we can be redeemed entirely in the sight of Allah subhanho wa Taala. So this is
the meaning of gold, we follow the law he will be rahmati fabrisonic Ophelia for our hope that we

His mercy, and that is greater than anything else that we could possibly attain. And this really
speaks to the fact that these two herbs come with acts of worship really speaks to something special
about the spirit of salvation in Islam. We are not commemorating someone else's good deed. We're not

because of the same grace from him. subhanho its Allah. So it is you that takes the action, you do
		

			what you're supposed to do for these 30 days in Ramadan or 29 days in Ramadan. And these 10 days of
the hedger and then you celebrate that Allah allowed you to do that. And you celebrate Allah's
mercy, and you depend upon a good answer from a loss of hundreds out of the prophets licenses under
a law unto molfino. Anybody Java call upon a lot confident in the response. When you do these good
deeds, you are confident Allah is acceptance, not because of your supreme performance of them, but
because of Allah supreme mercy and accepting them. We also find that a lot tells us or the prophets

world and everything that it contains. And the read the celebration of this world is to celebrate
what is greater than everything in this world, which is a loss of mercy and His bounty and his
forgiveness. And just like the profit slice, I'm sad for the fasting person to saw me fall hazzan
