Al Hamdulillah. Yesterday we concluded the month of Ramadan.
A Ramadan that perhaps filled our spirit with goodness,
a Ramadan that possibly awakened our conscience to righteousness
and remove all that is hopefully purified our hearts from
bitterness and negativity and Ramadan that has perchance enhance
the capacity of our souls, for compassion, and for forgiveness.
It was a month of increased worship.
And though increasing our worship in Ramadan is good,
being transformed by Ramadan, and through Ramadan, is far more
important.
So many of us remain the same, in spite of going through Ramadan.
While you know, the one who has truly benefited from Ramadan is
the one who is a better person after Ramadan than they were
before Ramadan.
We have said farewell to the month, the month of fasting and
the objective of that fasting was the attaining unto Taqwa or
righteousness or piety.
That Taqwa at the pinnacle of human excellence in the estimation
of Allah, as Allah Himself says, in Surah, gerat. In a Croma
command Allah He has taught him, the most honorable of all in the
sight of Allah.
Those with the highest degree of Taqwa a Taqwa which we ourselves
cannot measure. And only Allah knows
The measure of Taqwa as he reminds us Falah to the Quran.
don't ascribe righteousness to yourself, who are in them will be
money to call. Allah alone knows best, those who are truly pious
to enhance ourselves
and to be successful in the pursuit of that taqwa, or that
righteousness or that piety.
It is essential for us to emulate the prophetic example, that Allahu
alayhi wa sallam.
And when we say following the example of the Prophet, it is far
more than just trying to look like the Prophet, far more than just
dressing like the Prophet, far more than just singing about the
prophet or singing for the Prophet. In fact, it is far more
significant than that.
Those who are close to you Rasul Allah, Allah He was telling them
said about him.
Gonna Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam Alina nurse will acraman
Nurse.

Bassam.
They describe him as he was the easiest of people to get along
with.
He was most noble and most generous indeed. He was among the
people like one of the people, but he was always cheerful and always
smiling.
Such was the beautiful example of Rasulullah sallallahu wasallam, an
embodiment of mercy,
a reflection of divine compassion, indeed, kind of colloquial Quran,
a personification of the Glorious Quran.
You see, he didn't really say the bathroom, he was like, smiling at
your brother is charity. No, he practically manifested this
positive expression, as Abdullah bin hadith is reported to have
said as documented in the Sunnah of Timothy. He said, Mara at a
hidden, accurate human being Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi
wasallam. I have not seen anyone smile more consistently, or more
often than the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam.
And we compare that to ourselves. When we see people who are not
exactly from the same school of thought like ourselves, maybe with
a dress or buy the beard or the output, we already disdain it we
always pick a distance between ourselves and people, because we
almost judgmental,
almost self righteous, which is the very antithesis of Taqwa. When
we have self righteousness, it is proof that you have lack of
righteousness, the greater the degree of self righteousness. The
lesser degree of Taqwa which I will measure, I can't judge you. I
can't say well, are you self righteous? We ourselves should
know that we are self righteous when you disdain other people, or
keep rubato rock Welcome to nurse. Elegance is part of it looking
down upon other people.
We treaments Krishna professed followers of the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam Are we truly like him?
Some people are so wealthy Alhamdulillah they offer all the
love with all their heart.
And there's so impoverished they couldn't even afford to smile.
Some people are so beautiful.
They bring splendor and joy wherever they go.
Others are sort of noxious, they removed pleasantness when they
arrive.
Some people are so spiritually connected to the Creator, that
they have compassion for all of his creation.
And others are so spiritually bankrupt. They use religion
and the name of Allah as a means of hatred, division, even death.
Some people are so rich, they offer all the love and all the
confession all the time. And some people are so cool. All the hair
is money.
wise ones from the past have said and they have advised us and
pajanimals heeding such advice and realizing fundamental basic
aspects of our life in our daily lives, could enhance our quality,
quality of life one hand and improving our character and
perchance pave the pathway to our spirituality.
Listen attentively to what the wise ones have advised is combined
in a long scene, and I will translate what they said.
They advised us to realize that guns will unfold

Such advice is timeless and priceless. It makes us better

on different aspects of our lives.
And to truly understand life itself, and to appreciate life,
wise ones have advised for the appreciation of your life. Visit
three places, visit the hospital, visit the present, and visit the
cemetery.
At the hospital, which we normally do on a day, by the way,
at the hospital, you will understand that nothing in life is
more valuable than good health. Because no money can buy that.
In prison, you'll realize that freedom is the most precious of
things until it's taken away.
At the cemetery, you will realize that life is truly only temporary

Are we going to be here next year, this time? Will we say goodbye to
each other who are here? Or will we come after fajr or wherever you
go and make do i the cover and say Here lies buried someone?
What are we doing with our lives?

fit is the ideal time to ponder such question. What are we doing
with our life?
We're faster
to acquire piety and self control and discipline.
Discipline has been cultivated in our hearts and our minds in sha
Allah. And we are now trained to accept the commands of Allah in
the remaining 11 months of the year, with the same unwavering
loyalty
with which we unquestioningly follow, and were able to follow
through the month of Ramadan, but abstaining only from haram. Even
abstaining from the necessities of life. We have emerged from the
month of Ramadan, hopefully with better personalities and stronger
character.
On this day of April 5,
let us use the residual spirit of Ramadan, the lingering effects
remaining from Ramadan within us. Let us use a spirit for
overpowering the negative feelings and sentiments that we may harbor
and for conquering those attitudes that have divided families and
friends. And that has separated dear ones and loved ones that has
made a real turning point in our relationship with our relatives,
with our neighbors, whoever they may be in our family, our brothers
and sisters, let us transcend mere outward appearances in rituals on
our day. So that
it can be effective for relationship enhancing, life
changing. And this II then can become one which can be a means of
elevating ourselves intellectually morally and spiritually by
thinking about what is right, feeling what is good, and doing
what is best.
Allah subhanaw taala in the Holy Quran
where he links up
the notion of our continuous engagement with the world he says
what Allah What attitude it could be Shaya.
He begins by saying worship none but Allah our relationship with
the Creator and don't associate any partners in any form with him.
Immediately he goes after what people want
and be loving and compassionate and dear and respectful to your
parents will be the

And in the neighborhood you go distance was saw. Those people may
encounter casually occasionally maybe in the train or in the bus
while you travel together. You meet them sometime you familiar
with them I see every day on the bus or somewhere. People whom you
occasionally interact with, we look at it. Allah parents loved
ones household, those near one's neighbor next to you muslim or non
Muslim doesn't matter. Look at how Allah in this verse talking about
obedience to Him you are with Allah. Allah Krishna could be Jaya
gives us a string of responsibilities of social
engagement to indicate
on the one hand, Allah and the other hand,
the rights we owe to Allah and so on them it just says, not the
rights to to people, the rights you owe to Allah through engaging
with this creation. You still owe it to Allah. Allah will ask you
remember the hadith of rasool Allah for the famous, very famous
Hadith
where Allah inspires the Prophet you get revelation and
inspiration. How do you know the revelation but inspiration that
the soul is inspired to say Allah
I will say that you have Kiama Oh my servant, I was hungry, you
didn't feed me our secret and visit me. And you say Allah you
have a new I mean you are self sufficient. How can we feed you?
Where were you needy? He said, Don't you know such and such a
person who you knew was in hunger and in thirst was in difficulty
and hardship Have you come to visit him uniformly with him? And
by leaving him you have neglected me the link so we can't be just
playing and doing all the things Masha Allah which we must do
fundamentally will begin with that and say, mashallah, I've done
arriba, in Jamar with myself and my puppy and my beard knowledge
much of the good. Now I've got done by Dean. No, it's not that
much more than that. And if
we need to understand this verse, in fact, in terms of in relation
to the universal, all embracing spirit profish law, Professor
Allahu alayhi wa sallam
advise us in a hadith documented in the Sunnah of up manager, where
he said,
Well, you're the nurse, because
the nurse will happily nurse you mark.
We're asking, do you are Manjaro catacombs Lima, he said, be
sincerely devoted, and you will be the most pious of worshipers. Be
content with what you have, and you will be the most grateful of
people. Love for people what you love for yourself, then you will
be a true believer and behave with your neighbors in a neighborly
manner. And then you will be a true Muslim.
Can we make a resolution in sha Allah to do these fundamental
steps, so basic, yet so significant? So well known,
yet so least implemented.
Nothing really affirms our humanity, more than our capacity
to empathize and to be compassionate. And that's why
Rasul Allah Salam, he said,
after the Basel II man Billa, a totally the nurse was denied
failure.
The peak of reasoning, after accepting the faith in the Divine,
is being affectionate towards humanity,
and doing good to other people, irrespective of whether those
people are good people or not good people.
It is this frame of heart that enables us to feel the agony of
the pain experienced by others, to emphasize with the struggle of
those who are in desperation, and to treat others as we ourselves
would like to be treated, and to do our best to make the world a
better place. One one good deed at a time. past week beyond Imam

justice for a cause greater than himself. This week was 50 years
that he was arrested. May Allah grant him Jin, even the road on

part of a global community of faith. Do we really feel for our
brothers and sisters locally and globally?
Are we really have those methods meaning if Etowah de matar Amin

Friday was international today. 1000s of people in over 800 cities
all over the world express solidarity with the oppressed
people of Palestine.
We are in full solidarity
with the struggle of the people in Palestine, people who are victims
of a war waged against a civilian population.
The confiscation of Palestinian land, the displacement of
Palestinian people, the destruction of Palestinian homes,
and the decimation of the Palestinian population. We are
aware of the struggle of the people in Kashmir under the brutal
* of an Indian authority that's increasingly becoming anti
Islam and openly anti Muslim.
We are aware of the plight of the Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar in
Burma. We have been described by the United Nations as the world's
most persecuted people.
We are aware of the ongoing strife in Syria in child and the war
between two of the richest countries support for the world's
superpowers against their Muslim world's poorest country, Yemen.
I see
In which the United Nations has declared as the world's largest
humanitarian crisis, greater than in Syria in Ringu. In other parts
of the world, but not on the news much. We are indeed in empathy and
solidarity. For those who are innocent victims of the war in
Yemen,
we know the Chinese internment camps in Xinjiang province. We
over a million Uighur Muslims are being incarcerated and punished
for their faith. They are being kept apart from the families that
will finish at 805. It's time now for a finish on time to fight.
They are being kept apart from the families, their children and
torture to forget the identities and made to denounce their
religion. We are well aware of the cruel realities faced by our
fellow Muslims in China. But we are the voices of denunciation. We
are the voices of denunciation.
Where are the outcry from the Muslim leaders?
When when the heads of Muslim majority governments put morality
before money, human rights before greed, goodwill, before personal
power interests, and speak out at what is becoming the modern
world's largest campaign of ethnic cleansing? We are indeed in
solidarity with the people of China, the Uighur Muslims.
We ask Allah subhanaw taala that as we reflect
on the difficulties and hardships and celebrations on one side, loss
of life on the other enjoy and celebration, this is the reality
of life. Well, let me show you the whole fuel Joe. But she saw really
glad tidings ride the wave of life with balance, patiently passivity.
reflect on the fact that virtually everything we do with our lives is
a choice. Even doing nothing is also a choice.
At any moment, we have hundreds of decisions to make. Taking options,
what is more significant, and in our lives, the decisions we take.
Some are more significant than others. Too often, we operate on
automatic it's eight, the lines over automatically back to what we
were before
doing things by habit, rather than by conscious decision. We are
people of Nia. We do everything with Nia, that's the reason you
have near you intentionally what you do what you do, because we do
intentionally you do it purposefully. And if you do it
purposefully, then that becomes a series of meaningful events
because they are done with purpose

decisions

Because our thoughts affect our mind our mind our decisions and

And those choose to do the right thing for the right reason.
I leave you with a DUA.
May Allah grant us
through the better cognitive olam that we spend in worship,
that we are able to perpetuate the spirit of Ramadan, as you're going
to show while in the rest of the year. May Allah grant us through
the bulk of this Ramadan vision that she's good in people.

On this auspicious day of April fifth, every Muslims ready to face
the year that lies ahead, Inshallah, spiritually charged

degree of discipline, a firmer resolve and a commitment to
