			hamdu Lillah wa salatu salam ala rasulillah. While early he was so happy he or Manuela,
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:21
			as we mentioned previously, that these are the 10 nights, they are the prestigious nights that Allah
subhanho wa Taala Allah has given us.
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:59
			And there are great mentions of them in the Quran, and in the Hadith of the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam. I mean, there is a difference of opinion about when Allah says well at the 10
knights, and he swears by them in solitary. Whether it's referring to these nights of Ramadan, or
whether it's the first 10 days of the ledger, that's debate between the scholars nonetheless, there
is no difference that the prophets I seldom used to do great efforts in these 10 nights.
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:27
			And we have prepared for you a very simple PDF file, which has very basic information but is very
helpful as well. And that is to allow you to make a template for your ebook either through this
night. Now, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam used to
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:31
			establish most of the night in
		
00:01:33 --> 00:02:27
			lpm what I hear Lee Lowe he used to revive the night. And so therefore, if you do have the ability
to stay awake throughout the night, it's about five hours or so even less, then definitely do so
because these are precious moments. And you have to treat these moments as if you are a businessman
or businesswoman, a trader, somebody who is ready to get as much of the good deeds as as possible.
Remember, Allah Subhana Allah teaches us about this trade and in the Quran. You read a few times how
last Pattaya talks about this, you know, your Lydian local malattie Jara tinggi, cumin, Liam Oh, you
believe Shall I inform you of a trade that will save you from a severe punishment in the lifetime
		
00:02:27 --> 00:03:09
			you know what we need now foster home while I'm while at home ban Allah homogenic. Allah has
purchased from the believers, their selves and their wealth in exchange for them is Elgin. So the
the bonking Is there even when the Sahaba were with the prophet SAW Selim the first onsala, if you
like, when they came to Bay, actually October the first the second beta, the second Pledge of
Allegiance at Alibaba, which is in Mena, they met with the prophets, I send them those who came from
Medina, the 72 people, and the Prophet and the process and then, you know, again, he, he, he
proposed his deal to them, which was that they would, they would harbor him they would look off to
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:24
			him, they would protect him from the enemies and, and so on and, and that they should believe in
Allah established, Allah gives you a carrot and so on. That they they return, they said, I'll
measure law.
		
00:03:26 --> 00:04:08
			What will we get in return? So you ask the kind of mentality, what will we get in return? If we did
all of that? What is the what is the other end of the deal? So the prophet SAW Selim said, agenda,
you're dealing here with agenda, you know, that's, I'm not gonna offer you any worldly positions,
I'm not gonna say that you will be the masters of the Arabs or the Arabian Peninsula, or indeed,
masters of the world, I'm just saying to you, that you fulfill your end of the deal, the contract,
you will get engine. So that that way you have to think about and if you think about like that, then
you say, Well, okay, these are, this is in these coming nights, there is an opportunity for a night,
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:27
			which is greater than 1000 months, you know, so it's worth it's worth your effort, right is worth
your concentration just to try and get it because yeah, you might lose a few hours sleep, you might
get a little bit tired, but at least in return, you will be able to
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:59
			be able to get so much more. So if you think with that mentality and they say okay, how do I
maximize? How do I maximize my income? How do I maximize my productivity? And well, if you think
about it, and I just thought about it, for sure. Well, what's the kind of things that you can do in
this night? Well, you've got sila, you've got the prayer, and praying, you know, is is about again
focus is about reflection is about contemplation.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:48
			Because Allah isn't just, it's not supposed to be just a series of acts and you know, it's not
supposed to be done in a robotic fashion. So this is the beauty of being in lockdown is that when we
are in lockdown, you have the opportunity to pray at home by yourself or with your family, but at
least there is more opportunity for you to focus and you're not just going to go into automatic mode
I said that before. Secondly, you have recite ation of the Quran with also an opportunity to reflect
on the Quran and reflect maybe also a Hadeeth or some sayings. And the act of reflection in itself
is a bad it's not a waste of time if you're sitting for 1015 minutes, just thinking about about your
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:59
			you know your life thinking about others thinking about you know, or even reflecting about some
verses on a hadith How do they mean how do they How do they
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:38
			implement you know, how do they affect me What kind of acts need to be generated for me that's an
act of a bad and you'll be rewarded for that and you might even be more than for example praying
Salah was you are somewhere else you know it was you're thinking about your horror or you know
you're thinking about your pillow or something. So having that reflection is also an act of a
burden. Number four, Vicar remembrance or loss of Hannah talent is this this is beauty because this
is the this is the you know, this is the moneymaker. This is the this is the user where you make
your money is the capital, you know, you just invest in your bank of hassle, not with the vicar
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:44
			because it really doesn't cost you anything. And it's actually very easy whenever you're sitting
down, you know,
		
00:06:46 --> 00:07:14
			just wondering what to do, or you just got off to go to the kitchen or you went so you know, just,
you know, try and get used to saying, you know, simple things not have to do last Panama Panama
hamdu lillahi wa mala how la fuerza illa Billah, allama, Sunday Allah, Mohammed Ali, Mohammed, you
know, these kinds of things will fill in the gaps but also there make for very great reward that you
can get from Allah subhanho wa Taala. In doing so, and investing greatly into into the alpha,
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:38
			then we have an obviously when we say because well, we're not forgetting the sellout on the profit
side. And we also do not forget, it's still far, which is a type of vigorous a type of diet as well,
which is the fifth thing which is so seeking forgiveness from a loss pantalla especially before
fudger. Remember, last pantalla he he praised a group of people.
		
00:07:40 --> 00:08:02
			And he said he described them as Mycenaean people who attempted perfection and the other ones will
be an agenda. He said Little of the night that they used to sleep can only Lamanna lay my own will
be less how Mr. throne and in the time of as hard which is the time before pleasure they will use
doing is too far. So make that time as default. Try don't leave your server, you know, like those
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:26
			who live there live right till the end, you know, minute to minute, the last second and then just,
you know, eating caviar scroll a little bit earlier than you know and leave the last 1015 minutes as
far as coming, utilize that for is the far and asking a last pantalla figurative so maybe you will
be included in that verse that Allah Subhana Allah mentions. And then
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:39
			so we've mentioned all those things, and then obviously, you need a break as well. And it's
important to incorporate breaks into your, your nightly program, because without doubt,
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:52
			you need first of all to make sure that includes your support, you need to have a break so that you
know the continuity can also be a little bit overwhelming. You know, if you're just praying all this
time, you just return for all this time, having small breaks
		
00:08:54 --> 00:09:36
			can help you to inshallah, continue in your, in your night, and you can achieve the most knowing
that break as well. And there's a point that I think is very important. Make sure that when you have
the break intend that I am having this break so that I can strengthen myself to complete the night.
And so automatically now your break becomes rewarded by a loss panatela so that's so powerful in the
business minded business minds is how do I make everything count? Everything is for a large part of
I think, everything, every intention, every word, every action, everything has to be accounted for
any Sharla you'll get so much reward in that break. And also I mentioned you might also want to
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:54
			maybe watch a video you know from YouTube, and a useful video, you know, maybe a lecture maybe I'll
remind them something that is beneficial. for five minutes, 10 minutes, it just breaks up the
continuity of things and help you would a word of warning. Be careful of opening up social media.
		
00:09:55 --> 00:10:00
			During the night it's very easy to be dragged in
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:24
			To the sinkhole of social media, you're in there, you're checking one message all of a sudden, you
know, you're watching all these videos that somebody sent you're in a group all these chats or these
things and then you lose time. This is not the time to lose your time you know, you remember you are
businessmen and women, you are people looking out for the best opportunity. So do that inshallah.
Tada.
