You Hello Dina, I want to talk Allah. How could you Kati Willa

We'll call it Allah. Yeah, even you know I'm an ACQUITY by Ali

calm. Tata taco. So the colada

you want to Muslimeen in continuation.

We started last week

looking at what is the definition of sound?

And we said that linguistically it is a limb sack

it is to restrain oneself.

In the case of

say the Maria, it was restraining herself from speaking

when they came to ask her about the baby Teresa,

Allah salatu salam.

So that's the linguistic meaning of some

means to restrain oneself.

And because I gave the list of the 10 foundational principles of

every science, one of the brothers afterwards said no, and we're

going to hear about the other nine.

So inshallah we'll try and go through, go through them all the

delay to Allah.

Today, I'm going to concentrate on the fruits.

If we go back to what the poet said, in Namibia coolie funding

Ashura. Al had dual mode, Euro Samba Samara.

He said, Indeed, there are 10 foundational principles for every

science, or science that we are studying is the science of, of

soul fasting. I've had the definition, well, we'll do the

subject matter.

And there's a range of topics that we can put under that the subject

matter

pertaining to our discussion is, of course, some Ramadan.

And all the outcome and all the rulings, the foreign aid and the

Sunnah, and the compulsory acts and the optional extra acts that

we can engage in in the month of Ramadan. But what I'd like to

speak about today is the third foundational principle and that is

a thumb IRA, and HUD do well Maduro thumb, Maasai Mara, what's

the benefit

of fasting?

Because I think this is something where we really fall short

is focusing on why we are doing something

instead of just doing it because everybody else is doing it, and

focusing on what we hope to get out of it.

Because they are so many benefits with this act of fasting. Remember

the Hadith of the prophets, Allah Salam, Aleikum, Bassam for in

Allah and Allah

fast because there's nothing like fasting

in terms of its benefits, nothing can come even close to fasting for

the sake of Allah subhanaw taala. And while we are speaking about cm

Ramadan is because this is the only compulsory foster days

and it's out of His mercy Gela fear Allah, that he has made it

compulsory because if it was optional, how many of us would

have fostered it

and thereby not benefiting from it?

So

the first aspect I want us to look at today of the benefits of

fasting is, of course the physical benefits of fasting, and I'm not a

doctor. So I just did a quick Google

and just to name a few.

Number one, it says, your body will enter into a fasting state

approximately eight hours after your last meal. When your gut

completes the absorption of nutrients from your food.

Fasting is an excellent means of detoxing.

Must remember the hadith of our beloved Prophet Muhammad

Sallallahu sallam, he said Ma Mala

Ibu Adam, we are

a sham in bacne. Mankind is never filled the vessel more detrimental

to themselves than the stomachs.

This is where all the elements come from, what we are putting

into the stomach.

In another Hadith, he says

take fee Luca Hema Lokomat you came up here salvo

a few morsels is enough to make his backstraight

a few more so

which is enough to keep mankind to keep his backstraight are the

words for him to survive? Like we say, we eat to love we don't love

to eat.

When can Allah Buddha mean but if you must have a solid meal if you

must have a solid meal so a few morsels is enough

like it's Hadith could see the manga Camilla Creek on top Luma yo

Drake lobby Colin Tekna alarming cathedral Toshiba is a content

more often FIBA Denecke Amin and facility, hang the cocoa to yo

make the cut Hazet Lika dunya bajada philia Oh mankind you have

that which is enough for you. But you want that which is going to

send you a stray, you're not satisfied with a little bit.

Neither are you happy with a lot you always want more. If you have

your health

and you have your refuge, your safety and security, your home

Dacor your cup and you have your daily provision to keep you alive.

Then you've attained the dunya and everything in it, Allahu Akbar.

So at the end of the Hadith says we're in Canada put them in so if

you are going to have a solid meal, instead of just a few

morsels to keep your back straight, for full of the Holy

bomb, then 1/3 for food.

Well full of the Holy shut up and 1/3 for drink 1/3 of the Hulan

nevus and 1/3 for air

and the 1/3 for a there's a lot of Hikmah behind that. Because what

happens if you go and visit philon in the office, your cup of tea?

You say no, I've just stuffed myself.

I wouldn't be able to drink delicious tea.

So you might as well see me this month of Ramadan is truly a

restraint in terms of

the way that we live our lifestyle, which is comparatively

speaking, we eat too much.

We overindulge.

And so month of Ramadan is an opportunity for us to restrain

ourselves to keep that stomach empty that we are it's the Prophet

said the most detrimental vessel to mankind is his stomach. And

they by detoxing ourselves. And I believe it has such a good effect

on our sugar levels. And it has a good effect on the heart and

inshallah you can go and google yourself. We don't want to spend

the majority of our discussion today speaking about the physical

benefits, but the physical benefits of guaranteed Bismillah

to Allah.

For those of course that don't have chronic illness, for those

that have chronic illness and the Muslim doctor tells them that they

cannot fast than they must and fast

and they can pay the fee do.

So that is the physical benefits. Let's move on from there.

Then we have

the spiritual benefits which I touched on last week. And it's not

going to be our main focus for today. But just as a reminder that

the spiritual benefits

is building or

is summarized in the building the renovating the restoring of the

shield of taqwa, that shield that we wear on our hearts

that we shield or with which we shield ourselves from the

displeasure of Allah subhanho wa Taala and how that works is quite

simply this

How long does it take to make Salah roughly speaking, five

to eight minutes 10 minutes

how long does it

take

even whether it be

any form of every burger?

If you look at the difference in terms of time

fasting

is has a long duration

let's stick to the comparison between Salah and Sia. So Salah

What did you say what is Salah? Hi Barbara and Hara Curtin was second

earthing tip Daddy will be turbidity but it will be teslim.

Salah is an expression of movements and stillness is which

begins with Allahu Akbar and ends with a Salam o aleikum wa

rahmatullah Beshara atma Souza with specific conditions between

like a brother says between five and eight minutes

how many hours brother Salima we fasting now that 14

Anybody know?

Is it easy first

12 hours as you name children

know when you are

of when you are in Salah when you in that state of haram because

your first idea is to grow to the Haram when you're in that sacred

state speaking to Allah subhanho wa Taala and that took Veera

actually keeps you focused and conscious of Allah subhanaw taala

for the entire duration, you're not turning out of the Qibla

you're not looking at anybody else, you're not speaking to

anybody else. You focus solely on Allah subhanaw taala you are

conscious, or at least we try and be conscious of Allah subhanaw

taala in that duration, when you are fasting, you are attempting to

be conscious and mindful of Allah for the entire duration of UCM.

So somebody comes to you and offers you something to eat. Or do

you say, I'm fasting? And of course for Allah. You like

something to drink? Can I have your cup of tea?

Thank you, but I'm fasting. Somebody wants to argue with you

fight with you. We're in Serbia who are

in Imran Simon. And if somebody wants to fight with the fasting

person, if somebody insults the fasting person or wants to fight

with them, says the prophets Allah Salam, then let them say I am

fasting. So it's literally an exercise in consciousness.

You're constantly in awe and concerned

about your behavior whilst you're fasting. What did we look at the

other day? A Soma junda Mala Mia Rika fasting is a shield. As long

as we don't break it, what breaks it a messenger of Allah. He said

Al Heba backbiting. So, we are careful, what we are looking at,

we are careful what we are listening to, we are careful what

we are speaking, because we are conscious of Allah subhanaw taala

during that period of 12, or 13, or 14 hours from true dawn until

sunset for 29 or 30 days.

So this has an incredible effect on our spiritual state.

And bringing that Allah consciousness, increasing it,

making it stronger, so that in future posts Ramadan, before we do

something, before we say something, before we look at

something, before we go somewhere,

we first ask ourselves, Is Allah going to be pleased that

consciousness is awake?

It's vibrant, it's alive?

And if the answer is yes, Bismillah The answer is no. May

Allah forgive me for even thinking about it in the first place?

And then

one of the main benefits of this month of Ramadan is the socio

economic aspect, sugar, the physical benefits of fasting,

we've got the spiritual benefits of fasting, and we've even got the

socio economic benefits of fasting. Why?

What did

he say? Well, Hamble Zhu, Li unabIe, he wrote Calbee. He said,

I love

hunger, because when I'm hungry, my heart is softened.

When we are feeling those pangs of hunger,

we feel even for a moment, we feel what it's like to experience

hunger. It's not starvation. But it's a taste of what the hungry

person is experiencing every day of their lives out there. And so

what happens, we develop more empathy. But how does that come

about? That fruit of empathy for the poor? Where does it come from?

It comes from the fact that whilst we are building up the shield of

taqwa, besides shielding ourselves from bad words and bad deeds, we

are even shielding ourselves from bad

actions, attributes and spiritual diseases that plague the heart,

namely, a shock,

a shock

and inherent disease that everybody is actually born with.

It's a big test from Allah. So Allah says, we'll have data till

emphasis.

Every soul has been given its portion of greed.

Every soul has been given its portion of greed.

Like first thirst is natural, you get thirsty, you take a drink, you

know under this advert or buy your first.

Now imagine, and this is what's happening in the world today.

People are not just obeying this Thursday obeying the greed.

The world is plagued with greed.

And the Prophet wonders Iacob Tama phenol Fackrell howdy B way of

greed because greed is immediate poverty.

If you're not satisfied with what you have now, no matter how much

you attain in the future, you will never be satisfied because you

will always want more Let's greet immediate poverty the eyes of

Allah subhanaw taala so

Whilst we are building up the shield of Taqwa we are also. It's

like installing antivirus on your computer. All you have to do is

install it. Once it's installed it does the job for you.

So we fasting Ramadan, building up the shield of Taqwa. And what does

Allah say? Well, may you wash your hand FC, and whoever is shielded

from the grid

for Hola, Iike homomorphic, then they and they alone are the

successful ones.

Because one of the primary ingredients of taco is what

said daddy said, a taco. I'll hold for a minute jelly. Taco means

taco is to feel the punishment of Allah that keeps us away from

haram.

Well, I'm going to return zeal to implement the revelation of Allah

subhanaw taala. To do what you must do and stay what you must

stay away from.

Number three, we're riddled with colleagues, to be satisfied with a

little bit.

We remove the love of the dunya from our hearts, we are satisfied

and contented with the little bit that we have. And it makes it so

much easier to then go and spend in the path of Allah subhana

Huhtala and that's why in that hadith of why they've been 11,

which you mentioned, in one of the Juma has.

When the prophets Allah Salam got to the part about Psalm he said

was so Medina, was sadaqa to Theo, I'll help you come up with my

honor. Say that fasting is a shield.

Fasting is a shield, shielding us from our greed,

making us satisfied with what we have, because we feel what it's

like to be hungry. So we develop empathy, and we spend of our

wealth in order to make it easy for the poor and the needy that

are out there.

And then immediately talks about sadaqa and fasting is a shield and

charity will wipe away your sins, just like the water puts out the

fire.

And Hamdulillah that is what is happening in this month of Ramadan

can enjoy the nurse, the Sahaba sin of the Prophet Salah Salem, he

was the most generous of people. What can I do my Hakuna Ramadan,

and he was the most generous in the month of Ramadan.

Whenever you are spending in Ramadan, you're getting 70 times

what you would have spent in the path of Allah outside of the month

of Ramadan. So alhamdulillah there we have it. These are some of the

fruits that are ripe for the plucking.

Let us benefit from the

from the physical benefits. Let's take the physical benefits in the

justice the car like a hawk for articulate the hurricane hackle

every person's body has a right over them. So give every possessor

of a right it's right. It's the right of our bodies that we should

fast and not just in Ramadan. But that's another topic for another

time. It just plucked the benefits of this Allah consciousness and

all we have to do is to keep renewing that intention, your

Allah and fasting for your sake and for your sake alone, your

Allah, I know this fasting I can't show fasting so it's only for you

you're Allah excepted from me. And you will see that Allah

consciousness will increase and also make the DUA that your Allah

cause this fasting to be a shield from any form of greed or the love

of the dunya that I might freely put my hands in my pockets and

spend in your path your Allah your beloved me for indeed we know.

Allah says the hadith of courtesy and for

the poor and my dependents will often hear over color, and the

wealthy are agents for either Bucky locally or yearly. So if my

agents are stingy with my dependents as Octomore, barely

winner or barely, then I will strike them with my punishment

that will not concern me. May Allah subhanaw taala truly causes

to benefit from this fasting of the month of Ramadan. Guide us on

the Serato Mr. Kim Illa Jannetty nine well after that, why not? And

in hamdulillah Alameen wa salam aleikum wa rahmatullah
