Elders, teachers, students, brothers and sisters, are Lama.
I greet you with a Islamic universal greeting of peace on
this first Friday of Ramadan, at this auspicious hour of Juma
agreed you Assalamu aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato.
We are indeed privileged and honored to witness another month
of blessing a month of sia of TR of fraud in the month of the
furqan. The month of fasting the month of prayer the month of the
Quran in the month of forgiveness, may Allah subhanho wa Taala grant
that will be of those who reconnect with the Quran in this
month and remain connected thereafter. May Allah grant us to
be forgiven in this month of Ramadan all this nice to have and
may Allah subhanho wa Taala grant that we be of those who in our
prayer come closer to the Almighty as we bow to him in prostration.
There is a report in
Schawbel imam of mumble by Hucky.
A Hadith reported by Salman al Farsi but the hola Juan
referring to a sermon given by the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam, particularly at the onset of Ramadan.
And I thought it appropriate
the best for speech is the words of Allah and the best of guidance
that flows from human beings is that from the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam, and I thought, we will glean or extract 10 key
points from the Prophet sermon regarding preparation for Ramadan
and Percherons. We can imbibe those 10 points as we journey
through this month of Ramadan, as a start your own those wonders
spiritual journey towards Allah subhanho wa Taala
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa he was setting them as ePolicy your
NAS in the whole Kabbalah in a condition of Allah he been baraka
for Rama Wilma
indeed, has approached you a month filled with blessing, filled with
mercy and filled with forgiveness.
Now very often people argue, and they say the Prophet said in the
Hadith, the first 10 days is mercy second and daisies forgiveness and
so on and so forth. There's no Hadith
it like that is not true. The Prophet didn't exactly say those
particular words but don't debate on these issues. Let this Ramadan
be a month of debating about these issues. But the prophet did say it
a month as he said in this idea, will Baraka were Rama will mafia
within the first 10 Nights all the 13 Nights does not matter. It is
the month of Baraka. It is the month of Ramadan is the month of
March.
But Baraka implies Allah subhanho wa Taala blesses us with some
blessings.
And those blessings can be a form of tests. You see, when we don't
have things when we have difficulty, we tend to Allah even
if you're an atheist, or have believers returned to Allah in
difficulty. But when we have what we need, we often fail to remember
Allah. That's why some scholars say it's easier when you
difficulty to be in the army. Then when you are at ease, because then
you forget the Creator, because you feel you don't need him
anymore.
So in the baraka that we have, Allah is the month of Baraka,
which grants us for the same time that Baraka needs to be shared
with others who may not have access to the baraka due to some
other reasons.
Feeding for example, the pool that by law can be spread, if an extra
date shade, slice of great shade, this part of the baraka, which you
are granted but also as a test is the month of Rama. Allah is Allah
manga aim Rasul is Rahmatullah aalameen. Quran she Farwell, the
Rama, we are now by no mercy, mercy, mercy and mercy. The least
we can do in this month is to be embodiments of mercy. Specifically
to the people in our homes, our loved ones, and our dear ones,
even our neighbors and those around us.
And then nephila, we want Allah subhanho wa taala, to forgive us.
And you all have since come looking at them, don't have the
capacity to be able to forgive others as well. You want the
creator of other creation to forgive you? Why don't you have
also in you the decency and that warmth, and that sufferings to
forgive other people who are also the creation of Allah like
yourself?
Then the resource that Allah Allah was delivering, of course, the
sermon is about 11 or 13 minutes, and the results long as seven. If
you look at it, the way he spoke, could have been 11 to 17 minutes.
Unlike some of our themes, we speak very long. Russell was short
into the point cutting our Dell short into the point and you know,
jovial Calandra. So could say much in a few words. Among the things
that as you also mentioned,
he said about this, who a shareholder in the law of the
Lucia who was a young of the young when he Abdullah YALI was out of
the Lusaka. He said, This man is the best of months in the
estimation of Allah, it's days at the best of days, its nature the
best of nights, it's moments of the best of moments. And life is
made up of a series of moments.
Value the moment
the second point he brings up, he said because you are the guest of
Allah, you are the Alpha dilla first Allah of the company yet in
saw the cutting fee colluvial for he rotten, so therefore in this
month, as Allah ye thus Allah carry body my last goodbye, gave
here for a new colleague asked me, I'm close to you.
You always notice the word colleague and Mooji goes together
a neat curry Wuji without a dye, it has like a body and if I
Nicolas Wu Ji Woo, immediately the color and the respondent. Allah
this one's So first Allah Akbar Khan. But you ask Allah, whatever
you ask, Binya and saw the cut in waka Lubin for European asked with
sincerity and truthful intention.
Because all our deeds are evaluated by the sincerity that
precedes them. Ensure that even when you ask Allah that you ask
him with sincere intention, and then you can see how difficult it
is for someone to curse someone else. Or to ask Allah to harm
someone else because remember, the near ought to be pure. When you
ask for something, you asking Allah in the inside you will
make sure your heart is pure, because at the end of it, there
are two things we take into this into the hereafter from this
world. Battiato saw the heart the permanence of good actions. And
Calvin Salim a pure in the sound heart.
The third point that Sue mentioned
was the poor Allah for Quran ecomo masa kini come and he gets a
series of social interactions which are positive, which we
imbibe in this month and perpetuate throughout the year. He
says, what the Senator Cuala
Hola como Misaki Unicom.
He says, Give alms to the poor charity to the poor, and to those
who are in need among you, and what good will keep rockin for
Hamas or Hamas Eva Basu or Hama can work for us. He said and then
have respect for your elders
have mercy on your young ones remember he was who said Ray
Samina Mala Mia. Mala Mia Hamm, Sophie Rana Willem, yeah. Sheriff
Huckabee Rana, that person is not of us.
That person is all of us. That elder who has no mercy on the
young and the young. We have no respect for the elders. So yeah,
the Rasul reinforces that you said what it says the Quran Allah for
kuroi como Misaki Unicam? Feed how you charity to those who are in
need those who are poor, what Piru what Kuru, Kibera, rocky for
Hamas. Ivara, whom have mercy on the young Oh, those of you who are
elderly, and those who are young, have respect for your elders will
see.
And he says, God your tongue, and he goes on to say, don't say
something which is wrong. Don't look at something if you know it's
bad, and don't listen to something which is false a time. We're to
love the tremendous increase that people look and care for orphans,
more specifically in Ramadan, but also Indian colleagues. Don't
forget after Ramadan. I remember last year we had some program and
all the children could not come from the orphanage because they
were fully booked. Some of them had to go to half came here half
came there because there are so many. The point is after II,
there's still so many invitations, don't invite them because you want
for a while. And if you don't get so much the while you won't do it.
Because then that that is a a bar to have a businessman say now he
said if you worship Allah purely because you want reward, there's
no reward you won't do it. That's a worship of a businessman because
what is in it for me
so be more generous in Ramadan no harm please do. But don't forget
the day after eat. Those same orphans are still orphans. They
are still in the orphanage.
So he says that Allah He had 100 Allah Atia and he can be kind to
your orphans take care of the orphans but to boo Ilahi when the
newbie come and turn to Allah in repentance for the wrongs that you
have done for your sins.
He continues Yeah, are you a nurse in and Fusa Kumar hula
for Khufu hobbies define
your soul
is in bargaining process. i They can go to Paradise or you can go
to the fire. He said you are owning your soul you're changing
your soul
by asking Allah for forgiveness and your good deeds. Because you
are new to
Hamill says in the GI Bunty Hey Janet B or Jana MI. Mo says in the
GI Bunty a. Janet B or Jahannam be the upper half defeated men and
moody here in an area it bosses you are born, neither destined for
the Hellfire nor for paradise you are born is by your deeds, you end
up in paradise, wherever you end up. So it says your souls are
formed by your deeds are being exchanged and been bargained for
through your deeds, therefore release the wrongfulness that you
may have done by seeking the forgiveness of the Almighty.
Then he says
man footfallcam income saw even meaningfully higher the shul
Karnala who be darling Angola, hotkey this method will not fit in
the MA mobile means.
He said, providing food for someone to break fast.
Specifically, there are people who are poor.
And some people fast even when it's not fast in time, because
there's no food to break the fast.
So many of us have so much variety and always demand the youth that
the worst of us in this country are better than 60% of the rest of
the world.
Those who are in economic deprivation in this country, if
you've traveled the world, many of us are better than 60% of the rest
of the world. What do you think the condition of the world is?
And our job here is to manifest justice, goodness, and to be of
benefit to the world around us. So we say
man for coming to saw him I mean if you had whoever feeds and gives
Iftar for a fasting person, ALLAH SubhanA wa Allah says, Allah will
give you a reward of having fried someone from enslavement. And he
said it Hakuna Paulo we should keep them rotten. He said shun the
fire of *. Even if you don't have much, even if you have a
piece of date, then give a piece of date and then wrestle for Allah

you improve your character, Allah will pave the way for Paradise
when you cross the bridge from an acrostic a chroma fi a demon, a

taking care of an orphan also to honor people because sometimes we
honor people we are sometimes we help people but we dishonor them
in how we help them. We remind them of what we do for them in the
results it men Chroma philia Tieman archroma Hula, hula Yeoman,

the orphan woman was a fee Rahima who was a who lobbied and if you
connect yourself with your family and this man, Allah says I will

connect with you. And there was also Allahu Allah was in a wobble
Jana, he had the Fatah In other words, the doors of paradise are
open, then take advantage of the blessings that we have of this
month.
These are of the advice Rasul Allahu alayhi wa sallam has given
us may Allah subhanaw taala grant that we are able to imbibe these
well known principles. It's a reminder for us of the words of
the Rasul said Allahu Allah was, who also taught us in Hadith
documented inside, or other in the Sunnah of Nyssa. And the Muslims
of Imam Muhammad in the humble when he said Caja can Shepherd
Ramadan Scheffer Mubarak, if thurible Allahu Allah, you can see
I know who that comes to you this blessed month of Ramadan, a month
which Allah has made fasting obligatory on those who are able
to fast. He says, to photography, Abu Abu Jana, were to hula Kofi
Abu I will join him, but the whole Luffy shayateen. In other words,
if you fast and you're conscious that you do all that, by means of
that
Allah subhanho wa Taala will open the doors of paradise for you, and
He will close the doors of the Hellfire for you and he will tie
down the evil forces against you. Fee he laid it in the Phaedo mean
official, this is a month which is a net grand is in 1000 other
months, when holy Mahira could hold him and holy Mahira hold him
Whoever denies himself the benefit of this month and of that night,
indeed denies himself or herself a tremendous amount of goodness. May
Allah subhanaw taala grant this month be around month of Ramadan
of month of Quran and CRM and even for fraud, but also a month of
Baraka a month of spiritual elevation and model rejuvenation.
May Allah subhanho wa Taala grant that the accept the fast for those
who are fasting and those who are ill May Allah grant them recovery.
I just want to I just feel appropriate to mention here that
mashallah I must commend the father who led Tarawa it's
absolutely beautiful to listen, for each of them. He melodious,
clear, concise manner, the read the tarawih and really just Joy's
the heart, you know, to to listen to the Quran being recited so
beautifully as there are so instructed us to recite it. You
know what, 13 Mashallah, at the same time also wish to acknowledge
the young people as so many young people in our machines are
involved, even with it and SEO. Every night the recordings are
done, it's on videotape is on YouTube and so on. People, most of
the night trying to put things together and making things work.
They're not getting paid for it, but out of their own they feel
commitment and these young people by the way, for the Kashif
Hoffmeyer no family of Steve, but of the Kashif available bucket and
of course we need Jehan and may Allah bless all these young people
