			Salam Alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuhu Quran Weekly hamdulillah it's really a pleasure to be
speaking to everyone about a blessing and very beneficial topic as the month of Ramadan. The topic I
wanted to discuss with you today is kind of making a push for a little bit more striving for
excellence making that extra little push, pushing your limits and pushing your boundaries just a
little bit, pushing yourself a little bit further and a little bit harder in order to achieve a
little bit more. The reference that I have, in the where I'd like to connect this to is actually
somewhat interesting. It might not be a very obvious connection, but I think when the discussion is
		

			over, I think everyone will shala hopefully benefit from this.
		

			The Prophet of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, when he left the city of Mecca and migrated to the
blessed city of Medina, there were the people of the unsought who had first come to Makkah a couple
of years in row and accepted Islam and eventually, you know, wanted to take the profits holiday send
them back to Medina, and base the, you know, the Tao and the message out of the city of Medina.
		

			So there was actually an agreement in place. And part of that agreement was that, you know, because
they knew the process Salaam had some, you know, the Quraysh basically had some beef with the
prophets, a lot of them that those issues were pre existing, that part of the agreement was that if
somebody attacks the city of Medina, then we'll defend it, we'll fight along your side, because we
live in Medina as well as our home as well. But if you Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, or the
Muslims who have migrated to the city of Medina, if you go outside of Medina to engage in a battle
or to basically engage in a confrontation, then we're not obligated, we're not compelled to have to
		

			join you and support you in that fight. And in that confrontation, and that was part of the
agreement.
		

			When the Battle of the first major confrontation went into occurred,
		

			and but that is actually quite out far outside of the city of Medina. When the Prophet salani sent
him was going for the Battle of butter, that same issue came up. And the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wasallam told everybody, Alright, we're going
		

			to take care of the situation. And he didn't really ask the unsought, the Muslims of Medina to join
them or not. And they in fact spoke up when their leaders spoke up and he said that all messenger of
Allah, if you're waiting for our response, then understand that we will not say what bunnies are, he
said to Musa alayhis salam is have Antara buka katella in nahoon acari do you and your Lord can go
and fight. We're gonna sit right here. Rather, we will come and also fight by your side and also
help you in this cause. It goes on to say and this is something everybody knows the Battle of
brother was how many Sahaba participate in the Battle of other 313.
		

			Which really, really remarkable is that the Mahajan own whose fight it primarily was, there was only
about 70 some odd Mahajan in the Battle of butter.
		

			The vast majority, two thirds of the two 313 are the unthought of Medina people who weren't
obligated to go, but they still went and took place in one of the greatest victories in Islamic
history. One of the most glorious moments in the history of our oma
		

			because they were willing to go the extra mile. They said yeah, we're not obligated to go. But we
want to take part we want to do whatever it is that we can do. And it was that same reason that they
became so beloved to the prophets allottee center that the Prophet of Allah Salaam would make one
for the one time he was sitting, and he saw some women and children of the unsought passing by and
he stood up and he said a lot more free lunch or what do you have nylon saw one in a nice Island saw
when he Ola the Lancer Viola Viola de la ami, Allah Oh ALLAH forgive the inside and forgive the
women of the inside and the children of the unsought and the grandchildren of the unsought. So much
		

			love for them. One time he saw a group of the Anthony said I swear to Allah, you are some of the
most beloved people in the world to me. The prophets Allah The Some said that if all people would go
in one direction, oh silicon, NASA huadian
		

			was helical, and Saraswati and NFT Ansari ansara went in a different direction, the select to ideal
and so I would go the way of the unsought
		

			and so that's the type of attachment the process I'm happy, the unsought, they were blessed by a lot
		

			were loved by His Messenger. Why because they were people who are willing to go the extra mile,
people who are willing to push themselves a little bit harder and a little bit further.
		

			And that's the opportunity we have here in the month of Ramadan, you've probably done, you know,
quite a bit. And I know there's always room for improvement. But let's say some of you have even
really pushed yourself. Use this as an opportunity to push yourself harder. If you've given charity,
give a little bit more, don't just give that which is comfortable and convenient. Give that which
pinches and hurts us a little bit like working out. If you just if you run 30 minutes, and you've
been running 30 minutes, three times a week, for three years. There's a point in time where running
for 30 minutes three times a week doesn't even require any effort on your part. It's natural. So
		

			anybody who's a fitness expert will tell you, you got to push yourself a little bit harder. You got
to run 35 minutes a day. And that extra five minutes is what I'll do the job. So if you've prayed
Mashallah taraweeh every night tonight pray a little bit of extra.
		

			If you've recited if you're been reciting half pages of Quran every day, today recite three quarters
of images. If you've been reading two pages of translation every day, today, read four pages. If you
haven't been sitting in the Holocaust every day, during after the tarawih prayers, sit in the dark
city after taraweeh prayers, push yourself a little bit harder and make this Ramadan count. Those
are the people that succeed those are the people that benefit those are the people that increase and
inshallah This will make this the best from Oban inshallah, that all of us have experienced to date.
May Allah want to accept from all of us, again may allow us to accept this Ramadan from all of us
		

			and make this a very beneficial month of Ramadan, which is our Kamala Haider, salaam alaikum wa
rahmatullahi wa barakaatuh
		

			slowly going off to LA Quran Weekly hamdulillah if you just benefited from this video, the best
thing you can do is share it with somebody else. You know the Quran tells us about a responsibility
we have the Prophet sallallahu Sallam has also taught us about this responsibility. It's called an
admirable motto for the honeymoon car to enjoying the enjoying the good and to prevent or to forbid
that which is wrong or that which is bad. Well, what's one way we can do that is even sharing
beneficial information like this because many of these videos talk about what we should do and some
of these videos remind us about things we shouldn't do. So inshallah like the video shared on
		

			Facebook, post it on, tweeted out, share with others inshallah and you know, spread the head
