Maha Ramadan Nicola I'm wanting to be heard.
We wish everybody a blizzard haram
could learn more and to be heard.
And that basically means that the Allah's from the Tyler, shower us
with His blessings for the entire year, and for all the years to
come me
with regards to the New Year,
the first month
of the new year being Muharram
and today is the first of Muharram I decided to choose a verse from
the Holy Quran. Allah subhanaw taala speaks about this yearly
cycle.
And this is inserted Toba verse 36 on a dialysis in the tissue
Rebadow to be lamina shaped on the regime in order to show who they
are and the law, indeed, the number of months by Allah.
How many is Ashura? Shahara 12 months fee kita Billa in the book
of ALLAH SubhanA Hutan
Yama halacha sama wa T will art
since the day
that Allah created the heavens and the earth, and Vicky tabula, would
you want to call it the record of Allah or the registry of Allah?
Allah subhanho wa Taala he has a record and he has a registry of
all things.
Everything that he has created, Quran Luffy Kitabi, moonbeam. It's
all in a clear book, recorded by Allah subhanho wa taala.
So, everything that Allah subhanaw taala created in the heavens and
on earth, Allah subhanaw taala has created a framework
a three dimensional framework of space and one dimension of time.
The three dimensions of space, we have it all around us.
And the one dimension of time, Allah subhanaw taala has built
around 12 months.
And here's how metallic speaking about the lunar months, the lunar
months 12 months, the lunar calendar
which basically is made up of 354 or 355 days.
And we tell the beginning of a new month by the citing of of what of
the healer oil of the crescent of the new moon
as well as one of the analysis by the roadie. bIllahi min ash
shaytaan the regime.
Yes, Aluna Hiller they ask you about the Christians.
They asked you about what they ask you about the Christians the new
moons. This is one of the Bacara verse 189. A hill is the plural of
Hilo. They ask you a Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam about
a healer about the new Moon's call, say to them, he mo a key
tool in nurse it is as a measurement for time for the
people
will hedge and also for the hedge.
In other words, we know that if we cite the moon
and here I want to very broadly safe we look at all the different
schools of thought with regards to the siting of the moon especially
contemporary
viewpoints on this matter, then
myself, I'm inclined towards a middle view. In fact, Sheikh
Mohammed, Al Hassan will do the great Mediterranean scholar, he
gives a beautiful, basic synopsis about this whole masala of the
sighting of the moon. And he says the sighting of the moon or the
establishment of knowing if it is, the new month or not can be done
through citing a row ear. Whether it is with the naked eye or with a
geezer
or with instruments of sighting like a telescope, for example, it
says there are very strong schools of thought that allow even the
sighting of the moon with an instrument with a telescope. And
then of course, they are astronomical calculations, which
he feels in his opinion, I'm inclined towards the opinion that
astronomical calculations should not be used for
the establishment
of the new month, but only as a means of confirmation or
rejection. So that if somebody says that they have cited the
moon, with it be with the naked eye, all with an instrument of
sighting like a telescope. But then the astronomical calculations
tell us that it would have been impossible for them to have cited
the moon then that sighting would be rejected.
And if according to the astronomical calculations, it was
possible to cite the moon then that sighting will be accepted and
will be confirmed.
Well hamdulillah like in, you know, in many issues, in most
issues, there are differences of opinion. And as long as they are
based on the misogyny of the Sharia, the Quran and the Sunnah
each murky us,
then we must respect all those opinions. Hamdulillah we have the
four schools of thought but it doesn't mean that the doors of
each the heart of interpretive judgment are closed. Yes, we say
that we don't need any more muda hip, but within those four muda
heap, you will have scholars that are making each jihad on certain
Messiah ill on certain issues, especially the issues that pertain
to this modern era that we are living in, like for example
finance, you know, financial transactions, Islamic jurists
medical jurisprudence, and the fickle Kalia, pertaining to
minorities living in largely non Muslim countries etc. So, you
know, constantly we have this
almost type of evolution, you know, without contradicting that
which has come before, but building on from that which has
been been left for us in terms of the legacy of scholarship in the
study of this Sharia and the explanation for people as how to
worship Allah subhanho wa taala.
So back to the verses alone as a healer, they asked you a Mohamed
Salah Salem, about
the new moon or the new moons say to them, or Mohamed Salah Salem
that it is for the measurement of time for the people and the days
of Hajj. And I know a couple of weeks ago, I said I wanted to sort
of give my five cents about
the to read issue
and from a technical perspective, as we have already established
that whether it is
through the sighting of the moon
or whether it is
in conjunction with a sighting that has taken place like in
Makkah, Tomoko Rama, we have different schools of thought, and
we respect both schools of thought that it would be permissible for
us to follow the calendar with maca or to site the moon on our
own and have our own calendar. Both is correct. But what is
important and here we need to make the clear distinction especially
when it comes to the whole to read issue.
That read is a sunnah
way as unity is for the time passing we'll be happy learning
Jimmy and a lot of our Roku, all of you hold together onto the hold
fast together onto the rope of Allah subhanaw taala and do not be
divided amongst yourselves. Now it's a beautiful example of a Lima
Masha he has an agenda when he went into a masjid in Egypt.
And the Muslims were fighting literally boxing one another. And
he wanted to know what is happening.
And they said, No,
this gentleman came and he made a poem according to this map and we
are following another map.
Especially if you compare the karma in accordance with the
madhhab of Abu Hanifa and the karma and according to the madhhab
of an imam Shafi I remember Hanifa Imam Shafi Rahim, Allah Tala
rahmatullah wa and then there is a slight difference in terms of what
is said once and what is said twice. So they actually it led to
blows they started fighting one another, and Imam
a Shaheed has an emulator, and he said, in that case, leave out the
Aqaba. Now, bear with me. We're not saying that you should abandon
any Sundar. But his point is that rather than leave out the karma,
if it is going to cause you to literally fight with one another,
and cause dissension and disunity, why because unity is for the line,
and establishing the karma is only a sunnah. Again, I'd say when I
say only a sunnah, in respect of that form takes precedence over
sunnah. Not that we should disregard or neglect No, the
Sunnah Allahu Akbar, allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and
Aria Suniti. High in the facade, the Almighty fellow who urged me
to Shaheed the one who revives my sunnah at the time of the
corruption of my ummah person will have the reward of 100 martyrs
Allahu Akbar
Allah can be some naughty he says Follow my sunnah was similar to
qualify Russia dilemma the enemy body and the Sunnah of the rightly
guided successes after me I'll do our Alia Banerjee said hold on to
it with your molars Woodstone let go. But from a technical
perspective, we know that sooner or sooner in comparison to a
fourth form worship rockin you third whoo ILF le when you're out
Kabbalah Turkey, you'll be rewarded if you didn't get
punished if you leave it out. Whereas something that is
technically in terms of a ruling something that is Sunnah,
something that is sunnah you serve what others say and you will know
you are Kabbalah Turkey, you will be rewarded if you do it and you
won't be punished if you leave it out.
So like the karma
to celebrate read, to have a little of HA to make the two
rakaats and to listen to the hook but something that we weren't even
able to do this read in the massage it of Allah
because of the lockdown.
And we ended up making
either our Salah at home
or coming together as a family somewhere, whatever the case might
be. But you weren't able to go to the masjid, like we have in all
the previous years.
But gentle Hamdulillah
we still had the opportunity to celebrate the reason what is read,
there is a celebration
and a celebration. How can we celebrate something
whereby it causes us, you know, and there has been many splits in
families over the last 30 odd years because of this whole issue
of having to raise you know, the wife's family's having read with
Monica and husband's family is having read with the sighting of
the moon sighting of the moon, of course something that we've been
doing for over 1000 years. 1400 years we have been having read
based on the sighting of the moon to establish when is the first of
the hedgerow Yeah, that's what that is saying. Yes. Aluna Kenny
Hila. They asked you about the new moons called here malarkey tool in
Nursey. Will Hodge say to them Oh Mohamed Salah Salem that it is for
the measurement of time for the people and for the Hajj. So we get
to know when Hajj is by measuring Okay, we have cited the moon
right. Tomorrow is the first day of the ledger. Of course the night
precedes the day. And then we're going to count up until the eighth
of the ledger which will be the utopia
Yama, Daria, the day of refreshment, the preparation for
her judge on Minar before they go to alpha, which is on the ninth,
oof. And then of course the 10th would be idle.
Now with the advancements in technology
and with being able to know
when the moon is sited in Makkah, Tomoko Rama, or anywhere else on
the dunya for that matter, the scholars have come together, they
have made each Jihad and the masala and they've said that it is
possible to have a with Maka. So from a technical perspective, we
respected opinion. But at the end of the day, in every locality, you
have a Islamic judiciary
and that Islamic judiciary.
Here we have in the Western Cape, the Muslim Judicial Council in
KwaZulu Natal, you have the Jamia Halima and also the same in
Johannesburg, the gematria or Nama and then you have OXA which is the
United Council of all those councils of South Africa.
And what is important is as a country as a people, we should
strive for unity. So, whatever was suggested over 30 years ago, if
that suggestion after consideration, even though there
was an intention to have it even
if after consideration, we saw that it was going to be better to
have it with everybody in the country on the same day. Then that
is what we follow. If next year the Allamah say Okay, now we are
going to decide we're going to have it as Maka, Fabio and Yama,
let me say Hamdulillah. At the end of the day, Unity takes
precedence, unity which is a form of dying, which is a individual
obligation,
a collective obligation, as well. But when I say for dying, it is
upon each and every single one of us to strive for unity, and to
hold fast together on to the drop of Allah subhanho wa taala.
At the end of the day, whoever put forward this opinion if that
opinion was rejected, they should say Alhamdulillah as long as it's
in the best interest of the Ummah,
as long as something that is false, or something that is
prohibited is not being called for, then we should put all of our
egos aside, we should put all our thoughts and all our opinions
aside for the greater good. And that is for the amount of Mohamed
Salah Salem to be together
was one of the LSA in Domina ICWA the believers are not safe one
brotherhood, for Ostia, how do I overcome so reconcile between your
brothers and sisters, in other words, we are enjoined by Allah
subhanaw taala to always make sure that we are united to always keep
away distinction and disunity.
But duckula And be mindful of Allah in that Allah subhanaw taala
says, Be mindful of Allah in fulfilling each and every single
one of you that further in that individual obligation to come to
Hambone in order that collectively you might receive the Mercy of
Allah subhana wa Taala
so
I just wanted to make mention of that.
That
you know, subhanAllah
there are so many opinions about so many different things.
And that's okay.
Although we know it's a weak Hadith Alif Tila for the fee or
mature Rama
but the meaning is is sound.
With the prophets, Allah Salam said, that
difference of opinion in my ummah is mercy.
Especially on Hajj you can see Subhanallah when somebody finds
difficulty in being able to perform a certain right or
obligation of the Hajj on they might have been hamdulillah man,
Kala, the Imam and luck lucky Allah has Solomon. Whoever follows
one of the four Imams will meet Allah subhanaw taala in a good
state since the poet and there is truth in that why because all four
of those Imams whatever they have left behind for the Ummah is based
on Quran and Sunnah.
So yes Aluna Canyon a healer they ask you about the new Moon's say
it is for the telling of for the measurement of time for the people
and for the days of of Hajj knowing when the Hajj is done,
when alpha is going to be knowing where knowing when, when it is
going to be and if it's in your mind, okay. We are watching the
people on alpha.
Can we fast when they are not Alpha? Of course we can.
We can fast no problem
Patient Ashkelon what what is the problem? If you see the people on
rasa and you are because remember, it is so not too fast when the
people on Arafah this is, you know, one of the sort of main
points that the those that advocate for having
a birthmark mucker. They say back that we see the people alpha so be
fast with them when they are out of them. And then we know the next
day is is read tomato Listerine Subhanallah
if you want to fast when the people refer or you want to fast
because it is the ninth of the ledger, wherever you are.
It's no problem. Please, anybody show me any evidence in the Quran
or in the Sunnah, way following
an opinion
and opinion which is based on sound, textual evidence, that is
anything wrong, no problem. But on the day of read, this is where we
put all the opinions inside and you say
what is the day on which we are all going to have to eat? That is
why because here now, the ninth you can somebody that wants to
fast on the ninth
based on the sighting of the moon where we haven't yet met excellent
no problem. Somebody wants to fast on the day when the people on an
alpha haven't
been yet when nobody culinary in Manoa. Indeed actions always
intentions and everybody will be rewarded according to what they
have intended. There's no problem in that but on the day a very if
having read on the one day
and then the other half of the family having eaten the other day
is going to cause dissension and disunity is going to cause an
upset or a split in the family. Then we must avoid that
you know
we know that
that corridor
Kalia
in in the Sharia in the UK
there will McPherson a terminal and a genuine masala you know that
to keep away detriment takes precedence over mutual benefit.
So, we need to keep away the detriment of disunity by having
eat together. So that even if fallen someone so he is firmly
convinced by the opinions. We should be having an agent's maca
and that he hopes one day in sha Allah, they will be unity way back
everybody will be having ages macadam Hamdulillah. Continue with
that intention, continue with that desire. But on the day when the
judiciary the United judiciary of the country says we should have
read stick with that until the day when they decide to follow the
opinion. Otherwise, this disunity is going to continue this
distinction is going to continue.
And
you know an old Soviet fickle OLIO yet
or do we have been priorities? This is a very important part of
of the fifth of the Sharia of this beautiful Deen of Islam. What
takes precedence? Unity? Unity, Unity.
I've taken up too much time on this aspect of the topic. I want
to come back to the sighting of the moon for Mahara. Yes, Aluna
Canyon Hilda, they asked you about the new moons polyoma Petone, in
se will Hodge tell them that it is for the measurement of time for
the people and for the Hajj. So
the sighting of the new moon
which happens 12 times in the year,
signifying 12 months of the year. That is the framework that is used
to the measurement of time since Allah subhanaw taala created the
heavens and the and the earth.
And of these 12 months see her or mean her Alberto harem of them are
for forbidding months.
They often hear the translation sacred but that for many people
doesn't give the essence of what happens in those four months. I
prefer to use the word forbidding mean or bar to haram for them or
forbidding because it was forbidden to fight
in those months, even in the days of, of Jaya Helia and there are
certain aspects of abrogation and you know, which we're not going to
go into now.
But to know that if we look at 12 months, what's the first month is
haram?
Haram coming from the word haram prohibited
Did forbidden because it was forbidden to pick up arms during
that month, then the next month is suffer so far, which means void.
Why? Because the Arabs enjoy Hillier they used to go on raids,
and then they would either empty their houses or literally empty
the houses of the opponents so that opponents house would become
void of material positions because they would empty them in those
rates so far. So Muharram and so forth, and then reappear spring
now of course, it was only named spring. The first time it was
named spring, the first spring.
Ruby, Oh, well.
It would have been when the season was Spring, of course, why because
every year, we are moving our months, our lunar months are
moving through the seasons. And that happens every 33 years a full
cycle. Remember, it is only the solar calendar, whereby the
Gregorian calendar as we know it has named after Pope Gregory the
13th. It was basically introduced in October
of the year
of the year 1582 1582.
But Gregory the 13th. He introduced the Gregorian calendar,
January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August,
September, October, November, December.
This is what we know as the Gregorian calendar.
And that's where the name comes from, from Pope Gregory the 13th.
And so January, for us here in South Africa will always be in
summer.
And June and July will always be in winter. So the solar calendar
maintains.
You could say
the synchronization of the months with the seasons, we as the lunar
calendar is moving through the seasons all the time. So we have
Muharram so far, Robbie oh well, which means the first spring, so
would have been named at the time when it was the beginning of
spring, then after the Ruby of 70 or Erbil here, the last spring or
the second spring.
Then after that Jumada Jumada refers to the parched earth, and
the earth dries up becomes hard and parched.
So and there's differences of opinion that this was named
because of extreme heat, or because of extreme cold.
And then again, that would have been named the first time it was
named would be based on the season at that time.
And that would be Jumada and cooler the first of that parched
earth season. And then Jumada Hera, that would be the second
or the Jumada. Kira Jumada thermea, the second Jumada, the
second month of parched earth, or the last month of poachers.
Then after that, then we have Raja, which is the other
forbidding month. So we've got Bahamas a forbidding month. And
we've got Rajab is a forbidding month.
And
Raja for us, as Muslimeen is significant. Why? Because it's in
that month that we believe that our beloved Prophet Muhammad Salah
Salem went on the isawa Dr. Raj again, this difference of opinion,
no problem. But the popular view is that it took place on the 27th
of
the 27th of Raja.
And Rajiv, of course, is an indication for us that Ramadan is
around the corner, what's the DUA we always make Allahumma barik ala
job will share a burn, but live in Ramadan. Oh Allah bless us in our
job, and I'll share our burn. And
and grant us too, to be around at the time of the coming of Ramadan.
And the Rajab was the year when the Arabs took away the arrows
from the bows and gave up any fight during those during that
month. Just like just like Mahara what are the four months
forbidding months in which it was forbidden to fight? Muharram
Rajab.
And then the card and the ledger but before we speak about the card
and the ledger
We have one month left in between and that is Chawan. So, Rajab,
then
Siobhan
and also Siobhan the 15th of Siobhan.
Your Tawny Allah, Allah Jimmy helpee Laylat nice Freeman
Sherborne for your fiero Jamia helping elderly Mushrik in Omaha
Hi Okama kala sobre la sala
Hadith sahih authentic hadith our beloved Prophet Solomon says that
indeed Allah looks at his creation on the 15th Night of Shabbat
and he forgives his entire creation except for the one
associating partners in his worship. And the person that has
emitted in their hearts for for another.
So
project, chadburn 15 to shebang we now know how last 15 days until
Ramadan and to Jama to Allah we going to be citing the moon for
the first half of Ramadan and in the month of Ramadan, Ramadan is
forbidden months that's why I don't like to use the word sacred
because people say but isn't Ramadan sacred? Of course it's
sacred law Akbar. Ramadan is the most blizzard of all months,
because it's the month of CRM the month of Qian the month where the
the muslimeen where they abstain from food and drink and sexual
relations with the spouses from from to dawn until until sunset.
And this is the month of the Quran, the month of salata.
tarraleah The month of weed people their heart soften you know like
without looking for it. Where do you sit or a Julie I never hear
aka cannabis. I love hunger because with it, our heart is
softened. When we are hungry then we develop more empathy for the
poor and we spend so we spend more in Ramadan. So fasting and
standing for the night pray and spending in the path of Allah and
we're having to learn such a blessed month and even physically
we benefit a body's detox and so many other benefits and of course
the most important benefit from cm and Pm is that Lila Contacta con
we ever strengthen the the shield of Allah consciousness whereby we
shield ourselves from the displeasure of ALLAH SubhanA wa
and
then after Ramadan Chawan
and sama Ramadan Mubarak will be sitting in show well for Canada
Masada Dara Kula Coca Cola some of our solemn she didn't ever first a
month of Ramadan and then follows it up with six days of show well
then it says if they have fasted the whole year because it has to
be actually I'm telling them and yeah Bill has already found a
washer I'm sorry in the Quran was one of dialysis, everything's one
good deed alone multiplies it minimum by 10.
So if you take
the 29 or 30 days of Ramadan will be fast and you times that by 10
that will give you let's say 300 300 to 290 or 300 300 days and
then you take the six days of of Chawan you times that by by 10
that gives you 360 And a lunar month is 354 or 355 days so safely
if we fast Ramadan
and we fast the six days of Shabbat it says if we have fasted
the whole year Allahu Akbar 360 days that's the reward that we get
you know depending 29 or 30 days of Ramadan plus the six days of
of Shabbat because look at that even if we get 20 days if we get
29 days we first 29 days of Ramadan gives us 290 days and then
we get the six days of Showa it gives us 354 which is the minimum
of a lunar year Allah Akbar. So we have it there we have it, we have
those 354 days which is the minimum of of days in a year and
we as if we have fasted the whole year Allah so what haram one of
the forbidding months then suffer the month of void you know either
they empty their houses
you know by going and fighting and emptying the houses they opponents
that's how it was named in in Jaya Hillier and in fact, they never
used to do anything of importance in suffered because if they felt
in jail in the days of ignorance, that it was it was a bad omen
suffer bad man don't like in Western culture today, Friday the
13th Don't do anything on the Friday the 13th they will tell you
and the Prophet sallallahu actually spoke against that and
that's why he said La da there is no transmission of of any disease
except by the will of Allah subhanaw taala you know and then
you say well are Safar law either work wala suffer wala irata Well,
ma'am, you know, if you Adam sometimes used to see a certain
type of bird and
Oh, that's a bad omen not gonna, I was gonna go and do something
important I'm not going to do it anymore so none of this nonsense
nothing happens except by the will of Allah subhanaw taala where it's
the you know spreading of a disease, whether it is you know
what happens in a month since the last of our summer is not a bad
omen. Well, I'll tell you that you know if you see birds, etc, etc.
And
and so
we have Muharram is opening month so far.
That's the month that follows. Then Robbie oh well, the first
spring or BSIT the second spring. And then Jumada. Hula.
Juma and of course, you hear a 13 year old. Both is correct. The
second or the last. Same thing first spring last spring. First
thing spring. Second spring. No problem. Joomla dad older Joomla
Joomla. Deaf Tanya, the first month of parched earth and the
last month or second month of pasta? in Rajab
where they put the arrows away, of course, because it's also a
forbidding month. So Muhammad says opening month and Roger was a
forbidding months. They put the and Roger basically means respect
to honor.
So, you know, respect and honor in the month of Rajab no fighting. It
wasn't joia but it is still a forbidding month in Islam. When
arbeiten haram Allah Spano dialysis, we're not going to go
into the aspects of of NASA now of abrogation, but it is still
regarded as one of the is one of the forbidding months.
Then after Raja we said Shaban, then Ramadan then Shaohua and then
after Chavez Luca which gives us a third forbidding month or third
for building madrugada which literally means you know, a cada
is to sit down and basically not fight. So it is it is the one of
truths of truths
because they set in this forbidden, forbidding month and
they cease to fight. That is brutal. Tada. You know,
cada yeah Corrado means to sit literally. So the cada is the
month in which they sit and they don't fight. And then the ledger
is the month of, of pilgrimage, and this holy, sacred and
forbidding month in which the Arabs even in Jaya Helia remember
they performed Hajj but there was still in 60 idols in and around
the Kaaba. But hamdulillah Beloved Prophet Muhammad Salah Salem came
culture hack was called bottle in Al Bartylla Khan is a hookah and
Allah subhanaw taala tells him in the Quran say truth has come and
falsehood has led away falsehood is punished, indeed falsehood is
bound to perish. And he engaged in that kind of cosmic event of
destroying the idols and against what and again, establishing as
Ibrahim Ali Ali salatu salam established the worship of Allah
subhanaw taala wha hoo, luxury kala worshiping Allah alone
associated no partners in that in that worship, and so the
pilgrimage resumed. But as the Brahim and Israel had performed
it, our beloved Prophet Muhammad, so some we instituted that that
pilgrimage because the Arabs during the time of
AMR even knew, hey, Jose, he was the first one to bring idols, you
know, from Sham, and after him, the era of started worshipping
those idols. And so when they made the pilgrimage, they would come
and bring their idols every year. And that's why the Christ didn't
want to give up on this. Why? Because it was a means of T Jara
for them, they were attracting the Arab tribes from all over bringing
their idols during the Hajj.
And
you know, we're here to Villa We seek refuge in Allah people
sometimes used to even make the offer on the Kaaba, naked,
whistling and clapping hands. But at hamdulillah our beloved
prophets, Allah Salam came, and all of that was done away with and
the true meaning of Hajj was re instituted and it's also one of
the forbidding months in the I did the show earlier in the life now
Shara Shara Vicki tabula yomo Holika Sama, what do you mean her
Arba to how long
delicate Dino again, indeed, number of months by Allah are 12
in number since the day he created the heavens in the earth, this is
the framework of time the measurement of time sighting of
the new moon
and
of it there are four that are forbidding Muharram Rajib de cada
and hedger with the arbitrary delicate Dino him. This is the
upright religion. This is the framework that if followed, if
followed if we follow the significance of the framework that
Allah is
sit out for us. The Blacet month forbidding month of Muharram
Prasanna dialysis at the end Philip Dudley move into M fossa
calm, don't oppress yourselves they in and what is the oppression
against oneself is to disobey Allah subhanaw taala when we
disobey Allah, we are oppressing ourselves. We're America and a
lowly of Lima homeowner, Kim Kern who, um, for some elderly moon,
they alert didn't press any of them, but they will press
themselves in the circle of who's gonna have him and the greatest
form of, of oppression is of course, Association of partners in
the worship of Allah. But even disobedience any type of
disobedience is a form of self oppression. We were oppressing
ourselves when we disobey Allah subhanho wa taala. So the sacred
month reminders, these are forbidding months, we must be
extra cautious, was the extra mindful of Allah? And then as the
months go on,
we get to we get to Raj up, of course, Robbie. Oh, well is also
significant, you know, in a particular school of thought,
because we don't know exactly when our beloved prophet Sallallahu
sallam was born, some say of this date, some say on that date.
And, and that is why, but we know that he was born in in the month
of the
region who the majority of scholars feel that he was born in
the month of RBL. Over and some would go so far as pinpointing the
12 of Robbie and when and in order.
You know, in terms of remembering the birth of our beloved Prophet
Muhammad tell us and we're not speaking about celebration here.
But just in terms of remembering, that was the see an important
event, the coming into the world of Allah subhanaw taala last and
final mission to the man that he chose for the completion
perfection combination of this deal. Subhanallah you know, what
an opportunity to pick up a book of Sierra, to read the seer of the
Prophet, to speak about his beautiful attributes, and to also
sort of introspect, where are we in terms of following this man who
was sent Kerfoot alumnus, Bashir over the euro as one who suffices
as the best example for mankind to follow as a woman and the GLAAD
title, so as a woman and a bit of glad tidings until the last hour.
So you know, all of these events based on the calendar Muharram we
get to reveal Oh, well, we remember our beloved Prophet
Muhammad says was something which we'll be doing right throughout
the year.
And then we get to, to Rajab, and then we start preparing ourselves
for, for for Ramadan Shaban comes, we make so why because we don't to
be off the machine. We don't want to be of those who have immunity,
hatred in the hearts for another Muslim. And then of course,
Ramadan, we are rebuilding the shield of Taqwa of Allah
consciousness, cm and Kia.
And the show while we fast the six days, like we fasted the whole
year, and then the other we know colors, you know, it's now almost
time for Hajj. And then we cite the moon. For the first of the
hedger and Allahu Akbar, they we have Subhanallah the judge
standing and alpha, and we fasting with it be on the ninth of the
calendar, where you are with your fasting, because you're watching
live on television, that the judge and I have no problem.
Nice can there's no problem follow either of the opinions, but just
with regards to having ate it separately together, it'd be a
celebration, not a sub for dissension and disunity well as a
biller. And of course, right throughout the year we were having
based on this calendar,
we have also you know, something that keeps us also connected to
Ramadan, which is the spiritual highlight of the year. You know,
is is the Sunnah fasting, of the 10th of Muharram, which the
prophets is SallAllahu wasallam.
That
I said, Well, he says, What did he say? He says, that you can fit a
Santa allottee parabola,
someone Allah, that I hope,
basically telling us that personal first Muharram they tend to
borrow.
And we know that the prophets are some encouraged us, you know, too
fast, either the ninth the 10th, or the 10th and the 11th. Or even
if you just had too fast the 10th No problem. But that fasting the
10th of Muharram. That years previous minor sins and
of course, all sins are forgiven with Tober. But automatically, all
the minor sins are forgiven of the previous year.
And when we every month of that
12 month lunar calendar, we have a YAML build, which is the 13th 14th
and 15th of every month
And that again we are what that calendar provides us a framework
because when we fast those days, we like to honor we are, you know,
we are getting the benefits of that fasting but keeping us
connected to Allah subhana wa sallam and sama Yeoman visa vie de
la ba de la Albania, Albania, Nadi biani 100 can
come up with somebody who went out and if you imagine Hadith, that we
have a fast one day in the path of Allah, Allah subhanaw taala makes
a
a trench between them, or a distance between them, and the
fire Jahannam netic which is, you know, the distance between the
heavens and the earth.
So this yearly cycle is something that is very special, and that
when we are that's why we should all have a calendar with Islamic
the summing Hijiri calendar because the Hijiri calendar, you
know, we don't have exact certainty when it began, according
to the Gregorian calendar. Some say it was, you know, May
or June
is one opinion also September in the year 622. In our beloved
province and ladies migration from from Makkah to to Medina, but
that's where we get our calendar from the calendar in terms of the
years. We have, we are now in 14 Today's the first of Mahara
1442 1442 1014 42 years after the Hegira of our beloved prophet
muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam as we say, it is in the
1400 and 42nd year of the Hegira that is how we speak about this
now we should all have that Hijiri calendar with the 12 months well
haram suffered Rabelo will be a felony to mandelieu Lulu you Madam
Attorney, Rajab Siobhan Ramadan Chawan will card that we should
have those months with all the important events which we should
be fasting tintable haram, the day of off the three days of every
month I will be at school, the white, the white days. Why because
the moon is in its fullest, the 13th 14th and 15th of every month,
and then of course we can add to that inshallah of the days Monday
