Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuhu Ramadan prep and Quran Weekly viewers Bismillah Alhamdulillah wa Salatu was Salam ala rasulillah Allah Allah He was a woman. Voila. So Allah tala, it's I know over the last 10 days you've been hearing some awesome information Mashallah from various lectures and it's going to be hard for me to follow up on that. So I really wanted to take a different approach to your typical Ramadan prep talk. And I wanted to focus on the Hadith that we read very frequently it's sudden every single Ramadan multiple but at the same time, I feel like we always neglect that which is in between we look at the beginning and we look at the end and then we
say, it's all over. So for example, when we look at Hajj you know many people think I go to Hajj I come back, I'm forgiven for my sins. And I'm just like the day I was born, and that's it. But you forget, but out off of Philadelphia Sukkot Alhaji Delta hedge that you should not argue you should not you know get into any fights you should not do anything that would disqualify you from having all of your sins forgiven in hajj. Likewise with Ramadan there are two very common terms that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam put as a condition for the validity of the acceptance and the profits of the license I'm sending this famous Hadith men sama Ramadan whoever fast Ramadan he man
and what he said Wolfie right at home at the moment then be whoever fast Ramadan, with enough and with anti SAP, then he will be forgiven for all of his previous sense. Now again, usually the way we think a Ramadan comes along, I fast I do what I have to do. And I've been forgiven for all of my sins, and we neglect those two terms. And so panela those two terms are extremely, extremely relevant in particular, when we're discussing Ramadan. The first reason is that Ramadan is one of those very rare acts in Islam that engages each and every single aspect of our Eman And I want you to think about this. The Pillars of human are six as we know, and Ramadan has a direct and very
special and unique relationship with each one of the pillars of the man. We start off with a man Billa first Ramadan with a man in a loss of Hannah Woods out of discovering your Eman and the loss of Hannah to Allah. We know the famous Hadith of the messenger Salalah why he was Southern were the prophets of Allah it was somehow narrated that Allah subhanho wa Taala has said, all of the good deeds of the son of Adam are for him except for fasting a psalm Li what zeebee fasting is for me and I reward accordingly. Meaning what with every single other action that you do, there's some elements of interaction with other people, right? So for example, salon, people are going to see you at the
very least in your congregational salon, with Zakah. Okay, at the very least the person who's going to receive yours account, or the collector is going to know that you've given that sucker, when you look at your hedge, they're going to be millions of people that are going to see you and hedge when you take your Shahada, you're obviously going to take in the presence of at least two witnesses and usually in front of a large congregation. But Leon is something that is purely between you and Allah subhana wa tada and there's a mandatory elements of this last and it's very practice and you know, if you think about this, right, because, you know, although you could be fasting in the sight of
people who knows maybe when you go home, you sneak into the closet and you eat and you eat a cookie All right, it's a problem if you have cookies in your closet in the first place. But anyway, you know, you might be doing something that negates your sleep when people are not looking at you so there's a very special last there a very special sincerity there and a loss of hides out it is saying this is this is between me and my servants this action particulars between me and my servants because no one else is aware about whether or not that servant is purely fulfilling the obligation of sleep. Also, we know that when it comes to sleep when it comes to fasting or soul loss I'm
informed this that for the fasting person there are two pleasures The first one is when he breaks that fast and he feels really good about it obviously I mean, a lot you know the sip of water never tasted so good. That bag of chips never tasted so good. I know some people break their fast on that dates never tasted so good. How do you know this? Whatever it is that you that you're eating, you might be getting hungry now. So I'm gonna stop there. But the point is, is that you know, it's it's it feels really good when you break your fast but also less isolated. The greater pleasure is when you meet Allah subhanho wa Taala when it's between you and your Lord, and when you get that reward,
so make sure that you're fasting with Eamon and Allah subhana wa Tada. Then we look at an email
Benjamin Naica belief in the angels and this is the month where a loss of patent hoods Allah wants us to pay most attention to our Metallica to the angels. Why? Because if you look at sort of Bach, we find something very interesting. Allah subhanaw taala on the second page of sort of Bach uses the same word twice. Allah subhanho wa Taala uses the word padeen. Twice. guarin means someone that is so close to you that says if they're tied to you, so a bucket is the vehicle on the level I have not obeyed the law or the law of wine, whenever they were being tortured by NOFA. They were tied together in the early days of Islam and they were called and curry named the two parties because
they were tied together literally when they were being tortured. So what is the loss of hundreds it mean when he uses the word party? Now the first time Allah subhanaw taala uses the word padeen Allah subhana wa tada says, we'll call it a burrito who has a malady Yachty and his Corinne said, This is what I have to present. This is what I have to present. Then just a few hours later, Allah subhanho wa Taala says on a Patino who are better not too late to what I can count a few bought out and buried his marine said oh my lord, I wasn't the one who led him astray but he was in pure error. He was in far error distant error from you, Oh Allah. So a lot. This word is being used twice, but it's
referring to opposite entities. On one hand, the buddy that is presenting to Allah subhanaw taala that is the angel and the Corinne that Allah subhanaw taala talks about just a few hours later Who says I was not the one that led him astray. That's none other than shavon and a loss of hundreds out it does us a huge favor in Ramadan because as we know in Ramadan, so freed up to see how clean the sail team are locked up. So one cutting is gone. So you need to worry about the other party now you need to worry about the other cutting and focus on the deeds that you are putting on that record. What is the angel reporting to a loss of Hannah hoods Allah that's Pamela This is where we're most
conscious of it right? We start to watch our language warm we start to watch you know our deeds more in Ramadan. And in essence, you think to yourself, you know, all these these that I'm doing now? Do I really want to meet Allah subhanaw taala with these deeds, do I really want to meet Allah with that word that I just spoke? Do I really want to be a lust penance either with that sin so you're watching yourself attentively. And the angels also this is the night where they come in the in the billions and trillions, constricting this earth, constricting the heavens and the earth, making their art for every servant that is observing later to others. So you're engaging very closely, the
angels in a very unique way. So fast along with a man in America, then an email with couteau belief in the books and suppiler law. This is Sharon core and this is the month of the first way Allah subhanaw taala describes the month of Ramadan, Ramadan and Lady Lindsey Luffy Hill. And this is the month of Ramadan in which the poor ad was revealed. And in fact, every single book was revealed in Ramadan, so you're not just engaging the full ad you're actually engaging all of the couldto because all of the books because all of them were revealed in Ramadan as we know in the Hadith from ignore Habad an Iranian act met with different narrations. But still when we collect them together the
prophets lysozyme informed us that the stuff of Brahim the tablets of Ibrahim it is set up were revealed on the third day of Ramadan. And then the Torah was revealed on the sixth day of Ramadan. And then the Injeel was revealed on the 13th day of Ramadan. And then the support of Dr. Woods was revealed on the 18th of Ramadan. And then the Quran was revealed on the 24th of Ramadan meaning the 25th night which by the way already, you know it makes you start thinking about the whole 27th ninth it was revealed on the 25th night and this is authentically narrated so this month is so great that Allah subhanaw taala always chose to send down his books in this month and in particular, this is
the month of called ad for the believer This is the month where you need to have a strong relationship with the Quran. As Qatada Rahim Allah, He used to read the floor and once every seven days when Ramadan came, he would read it three times a week. And then whenever the last 10 nights and then whatever the last 10 nights came, he would read it once a day. So people always kicked it into overdrive because jabril Ali said that when he came to the profit slice, I'm in Milan, he finished up on on with him twice. So this is the month where you need to recall to add more and your everyday life you need to make sure that you are that you're studying the poor and you need to also
make sure that you're attending the total week and you're enjoying the recitation of the poor Adam but this month is defined by the poll and so you're engaging in Ramadan at the amount of Bill kutub belief in the books, then we know the amount of the Ruslan belief in the messengers
You might know him or him a whole lot. He tells us that not a single messenger of God of Allah subhanaw taala ever was not or every single messenger rather was mandated with fasting every single one of the messengers of Allah was commanded to fast in particular notice in Ramadan How are you engaging your eemaan in the Prophet sallallahu wasallam look at all of the ways that we are careful to adopt the Sunnah of the Prophet sallallahu wasallam in Ramadan, we're trying to become more like Him, we make sure that we do our stakeholder just to follow his example so a lot of it was selling when we break our fast how do we break our fast we tried to break it with dates and we tried to see
how many dates the profit slice on an eight what kind of dates the profit slice and then eat when he broke his fast right if the dates were not available, then what did he do? What did he do? You know, we try to make sure we follow the example of the Prophet sallallahu wasallam as much as possible in Ramadan. So naturally in Ramadan, one of the goals is to is to become more like him so a lot lined up so you're engaging an amount of muscle and you're engaging an amount of an accurate belief in the hereafter like no other time either. Allah Milan Put your head above will agenda what we'll do abramo now when Ramadan comes, the gates of Paradise are opens and the gates of Hellfire are shuts.
So the believer feels like he is between agenda and not and he's trying to make sure that he gains redemption from Hellfire and that he enters into paradise. You fast with the belief in an ACO with the belief that you will be rewarded in the off healer on a day that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that the reward of the fasting person is not his face will be removed from the Hellfire the distance of the journey of seven years for each and every single snap. This is this is a month that is that is very different from any other month and so Pamela This is the month of redemption when you're thinking of the opposite of you want to gain protection in the appeal. And
you know somehow a lot we hear often this idea it's a week heavy not the first 10 days of Ramadan or mercy that the second two days are forgiveness that the third 10 days are being freed from Hellfire it's actually a week Hades and somehow a lot there's more mercy in the Sunnah of the Prophet slice on them. Because in the hadith of Abdullah and then also from doublesided, Audrey, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said in alila he frequently Yeoman with Laila a loss of Hannah to Allah has on every single day and every single night of Ramadan are two of our people that he redeems from Hellfire you don't have to wait till the last 10 nights one day of Ramadan Allah subhanaw taala
looks at you and Allah subhana wa tada sees you're sincere sincerity. And Allah decides to free you from the Hellfire Subhan Allah, Allah decides to redeem you. And as in the narration of publicity, and for every single day, the Muslim every single day and night, the Muslim has a dog that is Mr. Job and accepted. This is an authentic hadith. So somehow a lot, you know, we don't even have we don't even wait to engage, you know, the belief in Hellfire until the last 10 days but we think every single day remembering the article, was this the day was this the night that Allah subhanaw taala chose to redeem me and free me from the Hellfire Was this the day that I was written amongst
those who would enter Paradise without any form of either without any form of punishment without any form of accountability. What more do you want so Pamela so engage your Eman and engage your belief in the hereafter in a way that you would that you would not do so throughout the year in Ramadan, you know, make sure that your sleep has that components and then an email will cuddle belief in Divine Decree. And subpoena law just it's very simple. This month has in it's a night that we are all very aware of which is called they like to call them the night of Divine Decree. The night in which Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that whoever is forbidden from its good, God who
didn't then truly he is a person that is deprived whoever is deprived of its good the night that Allah subhanho wa Taala will send the angels down in the trillions that night that if a person catches and observes that night Laila to cuddle The Night of Decree, then it is better than a lifetime of worship. The night that Allah subhanaw taala will decree all of our deeds for the next year, all of our deeds for the next year. And we believe that to the point that I bust with the law and who said the names of the people that are going to hide for that year, the names of the Hajaj would be written down, transferred from a local food and written down in the records of the angels.
What better way do you want to meet Allah subhanho wa Taala on the night that you're the next year's worth of deeds is going to be decreed than standing up in piano live and worshipping Allah subhanho wa Taala. So you engage in Ramadan, your belief in other what other acts in Islam do. You engage your Eman the way that
Engage the way that you engage in Ramadan so Subhana Allah that's the first thing the prophet SAW a lot It was seven
months Lama Lama lon he man wackysox The second thing he saw, seeking the reward, and in essence This is one of the most crucial things that you can do in Ramadan is to make sure that you see everything as an opportunity because this is the month in which everything is multiplied, right could see by and equal mostly I will come I could see by Latina and probably Kuma Allah concepta corn, Allah subhana wa tada and he gives us the purpose of Ramadan. He says sallyann was written upon you the way it was written upon those who came before you so that you could gain taqwa so that you could be aware of Allah subhana wa tada and fear Him and who will be allowed to add on who
explained this to us like a man who's walking on a path where there are many thorns and he's making sure that he doesn't get pricked by any of those thorny bushes meaning what he's aware he's aware he's seeking the reward from Allah subhana wa Tada. So he's not going to let anything poke him from any side. And Allah subhanaw taala describes to us taqwa and sort of earlier in Milan. So Eliza just says Masada who you know my Filipina rub the Kuma, gelatin Aldo herself la without worried that limited team and rushed to the forgiveness of your Lord Sadie or Russ to the forgiveness of your Lord and to agenda to a paradise that is as vast as the heavens and the earth and it's been promised
for who and the people of taqwa that Allah describes them. And you can find a perfect correlation from elements up in antiqua Artesia and Medina Yun fionna, facade, wah, wah wah, those who give in both hard times, in times of hardship and in times of ease, right now usually they would restrain themselves from giving too much subaqua because they're worried they're afraid, right? But Allah subhanaw taala is teaching us to restrain ourselves from our own sense of greed to trust him subhana wa Tada. So to give in both hardship and an ease, and this is the month in which the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was described, but even I busted by it. So the Allahumma as you know,
he's always generous a lot more so than you can never look at a day in the life of the Prophet slice them and not find an act of generosity. But in Melbourne, he was more generous than the blowing wind than, you know, than a blowing wind and what is the meaning of that? You know, it's, you know, somehow like a hurricane like a tornado. You know, it's indiscriminate. So panela, his silica is just going everywhere. It's benefiting people all around him. It's just coming out of him almost in a violent ways, how to lead the way that silica is being transferred from the Prophet sallallahu wasallam to those that are in need. So we learned in this month taqwa restraints from the things
that would harm us and is there a relationship between tequila and silica and empty SAP in this one, in this one, you know, portion of the ayah what is the relationship between these three things? Well, the first one the prophets lysozyme tells us in the hadith of Abu Reynaldo The love I know, it's awkward now, you know, protect yourselves be fearful of the fire, even if it is by half a date. So tuck what would lead you to give would lead you to give because you fear your sentence, you fear your sins, you fear what they might do to you. So you give hoping that Allah subhanaw taala will take that as a ransom for your sins. And so how is this related to Ramadan Of course, we just see it
here with Tuckwell where Allah subhana wa tada is mentioning to us a sadaqa. Here, Allah is mentioning to us the benefit, and at the sub you're seeking the reward from Allah Subhana Allah to add on that day, right you're seeking the reward from Allah subhanaw taala of that summer, when the cow the Mina light and those who swallow their anger would have been on us and pardon people. What is the relationship between tuck one hefty sob here? Think about this muscle loss Iseman tells us in the authentic narration of Hackman and other places that if someone comes to you while you're fasting, and he is foul with you or he tries to argue with you or pick a fight with you for the
acquittal in nice autumn say, I'm fasting, meaning what I am looking at that person directly as a form of good deeds. You know, this is my best friend at the moment, this guy that's coming to me and insulting me, he's being arrogant with me, this is my best friend because this person is allowing me to be elevated in the sight of Allah subhanaw taala. So you see him like money, but in the sense of good deeds when someone insults you, and actually comes in argues with you and tries to pick a fight with you in Ramadan. Not only do you hold yourself out of your taqwa, but also loss I said on the same test, seek the reward of it. So you're saying to yourself and have the law disguise coming in
arguing with me and I'm alone and I have a chance Oh Allah, to restrain my anger from him in hopes that you will restrain your anger from me. You see, somehow you're seeking reward and everything. you're seeking reward and everything because you fear your sins and you fear a loss of
Hello, it's Anna. Also the profits license tells us in the authentic ID pin activity that whoever provides a thought to a fasting person provides a thought to a fasting person, then Allah subhanaw taala will give him the same reward without decreasing from the reward of the fasting person himself. So if you stop when you're out of luck when you're at your thought, you're thinking to yourself, this is a time for increasing You know, this is a time for getting more good deeds so what do you do you don't wait for someone to come bring you the dates. You go and you take the dates and you try to serve other people to try to get the reward of their fasting to your thinking money. But
in the edge of sets in the sense of good deeds act Aesop also lost a little lohani who ascended also mandates us in this month in many different, you know, narrations to read the Quran to seek to seek the forgiveness from Allah subhanaw taala and at the same time, not just the poor an aspect of that, but a half enough on us to pardon people to reconcile with people. Right and Ramadan is a beautiful, you know, opportunity for us to reconcile with people through fathers through seeing them in the masjid. And the last thing you want to do if you are truly aware and awake through taqwa and trying to seek the reward of Euro Milan is to have your entire Ramadan rejected because you have you know,
you have a grudge against somebody and you're not talking to somebody and the prophets lies to them, of course informs us that, that whatever the good deeds are presented to Allah Subhana what's idol and Allah subhanaw taala sees two people that are that are quarreling Allah Subhana Allah says Eldorado high poly ha, leave these two until they reconcile with one another meaning Allah subhanaw taala does not want to see the deeds of that person unless he reconciles with his brothers. So this is your opportunity to go into reconcile seeking the reward Oh ALLAH and pardoning this person so that you will pardon me, so that you will pardon me, the relationship between between taqwa and an
empty sob is unbreakable. panela. So think about it in this normal bond, this is your opportunity to be forgiven for everything that you've done, this is your opportunity to come close to a loss of how to horchata and to start learning to seek the reward and everything around you. And as the Prophet slicin tells us, Lisa, the lie has a loss pantile does not have any, any need for a person's fasting, if he does not if he does not do away with false with false feeds with false feeds and with lying, and with all of those other things that are displeasing to Allah subhanaw taala. So you need to fast Ramadan with a man and with that the SOP, and at the end of the day, just recognize the
opportunity here, you know, and with with great opportunity, you know, somehow a lot you also have the downside of that, that if you fail to take advantage of that great opportunity, then what a failure you will be and that's why when when the soul loss lesson was seen by the companion saying, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean three times and they asked him what he was saying. I mean for it, he said jabril alayhis salaam was making their art and he was making their art against three people lovely my unfill mahabhava hustle and different narrations you know, may he be humiliated his noses in the ground, you know, somehow love because of how humiliated he is, and what a failure and a
loser he is the one whom Rama bond comes upon him. And he still fails to be forgiven by Allah subhanaw taala through it all bond. That's a secret word of this phone. Make sure that you're becoming aware in this little bond. Eamon anakeesta SAP and I leave you with one story. And I know I told the story before it can. So if you've heard it, then for the end of the class, I mean, but it's very powerful, just so we recognize the opportunity here will feel a lot more metacognition and dombey to be forgiven for all of our sins and to truly be elevated in the sight of Allah subhana wa Tada. This is a hadith that's narrated in authentic hadith. And it's this little Sahiba from Tom
Hardy, a lot of Thailand, who says that I saw a dream about myself, you know, I was in this dream, and I had with me two companions of the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and these two Sahaba both of them had become Muslim on the same day. One of them passed away a year before the other, but the other one also passed away. I mean, he's already dead, one of them passed away exactly a year before the other, and the one who passed away a year before the other died, said heat. Okay, he died a martyr. And he was more known for his good deeds. They were both great companions. But the one that died first was more pious, at least in the eyes of the people. Then the
second one, he had more actions, more good deeds, at least to the public eye. So he said I'm standing with these two Sahaba and the the not the munadi, the caller calls and who does he call to Gemina first, he calls the one who died seconds
No, not the one who died first who was Shaheed he called the one who died second first to an agenda. So he went and he answered, then the caller called the other Sahabi. And he answered into gentlemen, then when he called me, he told me go back for it is not yet your time. Now this is a good dream for him, because this means he's ultimately going to genda and we know Paul had no way to level the alarm was from National University, and he's from the 10 promised paradise. So poha will be alongside I hope, he comes to the profit slice on the next day in the companions and the profit slice I'm used to ask every morning he used to say who amongst you saw a good dream that you can
share with us all right in the Sahaba used to try to have good dreams because they wanted to share. Like I'd love nominal de la Haiku famous narration where he wanted to have a good dream so he could share with the prophets like Selim. And the dream that turned out not to be so good, but that's another topic. So probably a lot of time. He comes in, he says, this dream with the Prophet slice them and the companions and the companions, you know, they're shocked. They're surprised. And the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he says to them, you know, What, are you surprised from an ad cotangent one? And they said, O Messenger of Allah, the guy that that got called to Jenna seconds,
died Shaheed he died a martyr. And he was better. I mean, he had more good deeds than the person who died second than the person who died after Him and who was called to Agenda first. And the prophets, Allah La Horace, and listen to his answer, so you can recognize the opportunity of Ramadan. He said Elisa, called Mecca, Sana, he said, didn't the one who died second? Didn't he live an entire year after the other one? So they said Netanyahu is a messenger of Allah. And look at what the prophet sites and I'm such and this would be so panela like, like, like candy for a baby. SubhanAllah not taking candy from a baby. I mean, it's just sweet. Listen to what the province lysozyme says, oh,
Allah allow us to witness all that. He says, What andraka Ramadan, and he caught another Ramadan. And He fasted such and such and prayed such and such. And they said, Yes. And the profit slice that I'm sad for me nothing about human happiness about a lot more than what is between them is greater than the distance between the heavens and the earth. Now, someone might look at that and might say, Man, you know, he just insulted the Shahada. No, that Hadith is not the Hadith. So here, the Hadith is authentic. I didn't insult anybody in the Prophet size and did not insult the martyrs and this does not decrease from the reward of the martyrs. This just shows you that if you make the most out
of your normal bond with good amount and episod you could actually surpass a martyr Think about that. Pamela, so inshallah tada I asked you to your brothers and sisters to make the most of this Ramadan and I asked Allah Subhana Allah to allow both you and I in sha Allah to make the absolute most of this normal bond to fast it with absolutely not with absolute empty SAP and to achieve the goal of taqwa as a result of the Sorbonne and to be forgiven from Allah subhanaw taala for all of our previous sins alumna I mean, does that mean love hate on to all of you? I would I just wanted to actually mention that inshallah tada on August 7, I'm actually going to be having a class on Laila
to conduct a class on labor to other that will be either the 19th or the 20th night of Ramadan inshallah and that will be with the Islamic learning foundation I left Texas so you can follow us either on Facebook or you can actually go to the website I left texas.org inshallah for more information and inshallah to Allah I hope to see you all there will be a free class inshallah we'll spend an hour and a half talking about labor to others, so it'll be a good warm up first, right before the 10 Knights in the light Allah does ask a lot of hate and again was Salam or aleikum wa Rahmatullahi wa barakato.
