Omar Suleiman – Why This Shaban Is So Important

			To begin by praising Allah subhanaw taala very witness that none has the right to be worshipped or
unconditionally obeyed except for him. And we bear witness that Muhammad Sallallahu I knew he was
setting them as his final messenger, we ask Allah to send his peace and blessings upon him, the
prophets and messengers that came before him, his family and companions that served alongside him,
and those that follow in his blessed path until the day of judgment and we ask Allah to make us
amongst them Allah him I mean, the brothers and sisters we are in a month right now that the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam described in a very specific way, he said about this month of Shaban,
		

			that it is a month el Fuu Nasser and that people become heedless in regards to and I wanted to spend
some time with just the word that the Prophet sallallahu It was sort of mentioned in describing this
month because it is a word that describes a condition that is far greater than this month, but
especially speaks to the moment of Shaban this year. I know that a lot of people are not feeling
like Ramadan. I know that the general sentiments is not what it usually is a month before Ramadan.
Where we're usually talking about Ramadan prep, most of us are prepping for the worst that seems to
be coming and Rafa, I know that many people's hearts are not feeling the same way that our attention
		

			span is not the same way. But this is a condition that the prophets of Allah Honjo sort of mentioned
about Chandon, a condition of ruffler. And it's especially true in regards to the condition of
people to date, this shotgun in particular. And I would argue that while this Shabbat might not feel
as important and this Ramadan feels very different, this might actually be the most important
Shabbat that we have ever had. Why? Because if you identify that condition of a buffalo, and you're
able to fight it, then in sha Allah to Allah, it opens you up to greater possibilities of worship, a
greater connection to Allah subhanaw taala and a greater connection to your ummah. But what is a
		

			flaw in the first place? What is this condition that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was
talking about? Many times we talk about sin as coming out of desire, there are sins that emanate out
of Shaohua, there are sins that emanate out of desire. And then there are sins that emanate out of
pride. And usually when you talk about the sins that emanate out of desire, they are the sense in
which we waste ourselves away, and that which Allah subhanaw taala specifically told us to keep away
from sins out of pride tend to manifest themselves in volume and actually harming others because you
tend to violate the sanctity of people that Allah subhanaw taala has told you to not violate, but
		

			then there are sins that emanate out of ruffler. And ruffler is a spectrum of heedlessness the
lowest of it, and the one that the ruler might say that the believer has to identify quickly. And
remedy is indifference, indifference. What does it mean to be indifferent to the world around you or
indifferent to the news around you? Well, first and foremost, think about the prophets of Allah when
he was summoned the society that he was sent to, how many people do you think heard the message of
Islam heard the prophets lie, some preaching, and said to themselves, you know what? This isn't
really that important to me right now. This seems to be an affair that belongs to Quraysh that
		

			belongs to some of the elites and the nobles, that concerns the pilgrimage and some of the structure
of makin society. But it really doesn't bother me or concern me as an individual, meaning they
simply did not even bother with the inquiry, while the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was in
their midst. And you would be surprised to know that this actually was the majority of people in
Mecca, it kind of flips the whole Syrah lens for you, when you think of it that way. The majority of
people just didn't care enough to get involved. And how do we know that by the sheer amount of
numbers that embraced Islam in America and the conquest of Mecca, the sheer amount of people that
		

			were present in Mecca that day, how many persecuted the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, you
could name the majority of them. And it was usually a familiar few. How many follow the Prophet
salallahu, alayhi, wasallam 100 or so in those early days, how many just observed and remained in a
state of hafla? A state of indifference. The majority said, You know what, they'll settle this
affair amongst themselves. And at that point, when I have to make a decision when it is right at my
door, then I'll make a decision because that's the condition of most people. And then maybe the
Hustla gets a little bit more disturbed when you see some of the torture that's happening. Right.
		

			Where Wait a minute, now they're pulling the slaves into the streets, they're dragging them they're
beating their
		

			own brothers, their own cousins torturing their own sisters. This is disturbing me a little bit
more. But you know what, at the end of the day, even that became commonplace in Mecca, it became
normalized. We're in the beginning, Abuja had tested the limits the fit our own, tested the limits
and eventually becomes normalized. And most people will say, You know what, that's not my brother.
That's not my sister. That's not my tribe. I can still just be a regular Mackin and go to the store
and purchase and attend the festivals, and away from all the politics of the hedge, enjoy the
pilgrimage season. And I'm okay, that's ruffler. And that's why the majority of the times that Allah
		

			subhanaw taala uses the word Allah Fla, what antem Rafi Loon is actually in Moroccan society,
because it is a more appropriate diagnosis of Moroccan society at the time.
		

			You know what it reminds me of today, when you have some prominent people that will be asked about
Palestine? What do you have to say about Palestine? I haven't looked into that. I really don't know
about all that. I don't care when they say silence and complicity is complicity. You better believe
silence is complicity when over 30,000 people have been killed? Yes, silence is absolute complicity.
What do you mean, I really don't know about all those kids. And I don't really, I can't diagnose all
of that. You know, it's too much for me to get involved with too complicated. It's not it Palestine
is not here at the end of the day. That's a lot of people around you. By the way. A lot of people
		

			around you that drive around, they see the protests, they see the news, they flip and say, You know
what, I'm just getting home from work today. And I just want to watch something that's going to be
entertaining. I'm really not that interested in that. And you know, who knows that is awful or
better than anyone else? The Israeli government?
		

			Why do you think in the most watched sporting event in America, hundreds of millions of people are
tuned in to men who are paid 1000s and millions of dollars in in full pads who have their names on
their jerseys, while Israel carries out the most brutal assaults on Huzur to date, matching the time
of kickoff knowing that most people are not going to bother inquiring why there's an image that's
popping up on their social media feed of a young girl that's dangling without her legs and
brutalized over a wall. That's awful. It is sinful for you to look at that and say, not my business,
or too bad. Or let me move on. Because I don't know how to reconcile with this a reason with this.
		

			Allah azza wa jal connects that to forgetfulness of him, forgetfulness of them, and forgetfulness of
yourself. That's enough for a state of ruffler its indifference. And subhanAllah, there element
mentioned that Lafleur is the predecessor to Malala to going astray. Because if you're indifferent
to everything, then essentially the most attractive pole is the one that's going to pull you in the
next direction. And so I don't really think too much about things. I don't really ponder too much
about things. I don't really ask that many questions about what's happening in the world around me.
I'm not really that concerned. I'll get concerned when it's right on my doorstep. I'll get concerned
		

			when in my community, I'll get concerned when it's in my family. That's enough.
		

			And Allah subhanaw taala usually describes Allah Allah He associates it with the rough law of the
life that is to come. naka de Kooning, turfy reflet minha fucka Schaffner and kellisa Club asado
Kelly, OMA Hadith. You were heedless in regards to this death of yours you were told someone came to
you and said, a hereafter awaits you. Someone came to you and told you that there is something you
need to be preparing for it that demands your attention. Now in the moment that you are in and you
kept putting it off, for basato Kaoma Hadith and Allah pulled the cover, and now your hafla is gone.
Your indifference to what happens in the hereafter is gone. Why? Because it's right in front of you.
		

			The angels are literally at your doorstep, that Catherine is there. They're ready to pull you into
the next step of this and now you better inquire about who the angels are and where you're going and
who Allah is and who this prophet is and what happens in the grave.
		

			You literally are shown a picture of Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
		

			Who is this man? Man had the LADEE Boris Adhikam Who is He? Is Pamela May Allah azza wa jal give us
the bat. Give us firmness in that moment. You didn't inquire? Most people are indifferent. Luca de

affair of Allah has come it's terrible and nasty. Hisar Bahama Home feed reflecting morally alone,
the hour is fast approaching and people remain in La Fleur in heedlessness indifference turning away
from it. I just don't care enough to inquire. I just don't care enough to look into it. Now Subhan
Allah with our Lord Subhana
		

			Allah azza wa jal mentions how he is not forgetful nor indifferent, not to the past nor to the
presence. And so the scholars mentioned one that cannot aboukir Nursia your Lord does not forget
meaning your Lord will not forget what preceded on the day of judgment you better believe it all
comes back. Everything that we have done May Allah protect us comes back when that cannot Abu can
Asiya Your Lord has not forgotten. Time doesn't pass on and ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada stopped seeing or
Allah azza wa jal removes it from the register like we forget after 1015 20 years or something else
came that was greater in that place and it got lost when that came out a book in ESEA what is the
		

			lost parents I say about the oppressors? Allah subhana hoods Allah mentions well attack Serbian
Allah VA feelin I'm not gonna lie anymore. Don't think Allah is indifferent, heedless about what the
oppressors are doing right now. Don't think Allah subhanaw taala doesn't see it in the moment. And
don't think that Allah subhanaw taala is not taking interest in it and don't think that Allah
subhanaw taala is not in control of it. Allah azza wa jal sees it
		

			and he's paying attention to it. But he has a plan that we can't see that unfolds in the future. We
don't know it. But Allah subhanaw taala has never of often, Allah is never indifferent to his Hulk
to his creation. He's never indifferent to the affairs of the world, never indifferent to the
affairs of His slaves, Subhana Allah to Allah. And so hafla is not like an this yawn, which is to
forget,
		

			as the scholars say that Newseum, and we're called in SAM because we're naturally forgetful. This
yawn is an affair of the mind. The hafla is an affair of the heart. That is that your heart become
so attached to other things that aren't as important that you forget what's actually important.
		

			loveless of forgetfulness of the heart, and Allah does not accept that your admin Calvin referral
from a heart that is indifferent, that's not present your heart somewhere else while you're making
dua to Allah subhanho Tirana. So it's a forgetfulness of the heart. How does this all tie back to
Shabbat in particular Dear Brothers and Sisters, Ramadan is coming up. But on madonn is a chance for
us to personally develop ourselves to collectively develop ourselves to connect ourselves to Allah
subhanho wa Taala in a way that naturally not only tunes us into him and to the world around us, but
grants us an understanding of fifth in the heart and understanding in the heart that pushes us to
		

			another level of arriba to another level of our worship.
		

			And if you don't do vicar of Allah Subhana Allah to Allah if you don't remember ALLAH, you're not
going to generate Taqwa. You're not going to generate the shield of God consciousness if you don't
remember God in the first place. And if you are indifferent to Allah subhanho wa Taala and the world
around you and what's happening to people around you, and what's happening to your brothers and
sisters are you're even trying to numb yourself and come to terms with it. Just unfolding in the
background. You know what, we just got to get back to our day to day enough is enough, right? If you
are in that state,
		

			then what is Allah subhanaw taala describe the condition of the heart us it's very powerful and I
want you to sit with this button and anytime Allah azza wa jal doesn't describe it as a heart that
simply stops beating. Allah describes it as a hardened heart coswell tilcon
		

			the heart becomes hard.
		

			You know we always ask Allah Subhana Allah to Allah yarmulke liberal kuruva with Colby Allah Denecke
alternative hearts make my heart firm on your path. We ask Allah subhanaw taala for the Kusha of the
culture, the all and the fear and the humility of the heart to Allah subhanaw taala in our hearts,
we ask Allah subhanaw taala to protect us from hard hearts and what softens the heart, the
remembrance of Allah subhana wa Tada and the remembrance of those people, encountering them, putting
your hands through the pages of almost half from now in this month of Shabbat not waiting for
Ramadan when everybody else is holding a Quran around you putting your fingers your hands through
		

			the pages of the most have right now and starting to read your Quran right now in a month that
people are not paying attention. And then the prophets like Selim said and Yom Sahaba said, yeah
team
		

			accompanying the orphan caressing the hair of an orphan, being present with those people as much as
possible. Those are the things that soften your heart. Put your hands there so that your heart is
there. Let your tongue not be heedless so that your heart does not become heedless. Let your
attention be focused so that your intention does not become corrupted. This is the month where you
generate the focus so that when Ramadan comes around the moment that we see that heat up
		

			The moment that we recite the first night in total we, the moment that we make our first intention.
We have already cleared the distraction and focused ourselves and remove the heedlessness remove the
indifference to say yeah Allah. This is a Ramadan in which we are coming to you with our hearts
broken in more ways than one.
		

			Yeah Allah we're coming to you with hearts broken in more ways than one. Yeah Allah here's my heart
and I'm asking you to mend it for me. May Allah Subhana Allah Allah allow us to meet Ramadan with
hearts that are in the right condition, hearts that are attentive. May Allah subhanaw taala increase
us in the deeds and shabam that prepare our hearts properly for Ramadan. May Allah Subhana Allah
Allah never make us amongst those whose hearts become hardened so that we oppress others without
even thinking about what we are doing or that we ignore the oppression of our brothers and sisters
without even considering their plight. May Allah Subhana Allah Allah alleviate the plight of our
		

			brothers and sisters in Gaza May Allah Subhana Allah Allah protect them and Rafa May Allah protect
them in every single place that they are in May Allah subhanaw taala descend upon them tranquility,
may Allah subhanaw taala make firm their feet may Allah subhanaw taala make firm their hearts may
Allah Subhana Allah Allah allow them to be granted victory over their oppressor. May Allah subhana
which Allah in this month where he never ever on any day loses sight of us, may Allah subhanaw taala
show us a miracle in regards to our brothers and sisters over their enemies and may Allah Subhana
Allah to Allah purify our hearts and put our hearts in focus upon that which is important to our
		

			journey towards him. May Allah Subhana Allah Allah make us amongst those that seek His pleasure day
and night every day of the year, and that pay attention to his creation, day and night every day of
the year seeking that which is pleasing to Him. Allahumma Amin Akula Kobe ha That was tough. A lady
