00:00:00 --> 00:00:02
			O servants of Allah and O children of
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:02
			Adam,
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:04
			we begin
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:06
			as we have been taught to begin
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:08
			in the name of Allah
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:13
			whilst praising him. We praise him, we seek
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:14
			his assistance and guidance,
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:17
			and we seek refuge in him from the
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:18
			evil of ourselves
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:22
			and the adverse consequences of our deeds. And
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:23
			we testify
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:24
			wholeheartedly
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:27
			that whomsoever he guides, subhanah,
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:28
			none can misguide.
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:31
			And whomsoever he misguides, subhanah,
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:34
			none can guide. And we request praises and
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:34
			blessings
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:36
			upon our master,
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:39
			our teacher, the final messenger,
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:40
			Muhammad ibn Abdullah
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:44
			sallallahu alaihi wasallam. I bear witness that there's
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:46
			no one worthy of worship besides 1 Allah.
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:49
			He is 1 in his worship,
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:50
			and 1
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:54
			in his lordship, and 1 in his names
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:54
			and attributes.
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:58
			And I testify that Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam
		
00:00:59 --> 00:00:59
			is his messenger.
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:03
			My dearest brothers and sisters in Islam,
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:06
			I began the khutbah by praising Allah subhanahu
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:07
			wa ta'ala who revealed
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:09
			a yamanmaadudat.
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:11
			He revealed
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:13
			the statement,
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:14
			the instruction,
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:17
			a fixed number of days.
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:20
			And this instruction was revealed
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:22
			in connection to the command
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:24
			in which Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:26
			made obligatory
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:29
			upon the ummah of Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:30
			fasting,
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:32
			and it became listed
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:35
			as a pillar from the pillars of Islam.
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:38
			I also began by praising Allah, the one
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:39
			who said
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:43
			that you will complete
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:45
			these fixed number of days.
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:50
			And then you will raise Allah's
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:52
			name in mention with the takbir.
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:55
			For the guidance of Ramadan
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:57
			that he brought to you
		
00:01:58 --> 00:01:59
			and the inspiration,
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:01
			the health, the ability,
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:03
			the iman,
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:04
			the Islam
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:05
			to
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:08
			pull through true to the command that Allah
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:09
			subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:12
			levied upon you. Not only did he command
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:15
			you to fast, but he permitted you to
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:18
			fast. He assisted you to fast.
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:23
			And you will do all of this in
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:26
			your attempt to be grateful to Allah
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:28
			And grateful indeed
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:29
			for Ramadan
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:30
			is indeed
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:33
			a gift, and not just a gift, but
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:34
			an unprecedented
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:38
			great gift. A gift that demands
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:42
			a gift that necessitates
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:44
			a show of gratitude
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:46
			after a show of gratitude.
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:48
			O servants of Allah
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:50
			and o children of Adam,
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:53
			I stood in front of you at the
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:54
			beginning of Ramadan,
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:57
			during the 1st Friday of Ramadan,
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:58
			on this mimbar,
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:01
			at this point in time, during the Jumah
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:01
			Khutba,
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:04
			to inform you of a guest that had
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:05
			just knocked our doors,
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:09
			and a guest that knocked our doors with
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:10
			gifts that were truly
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:11
			unprecedented,
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:13
			a guest that we
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:17
			understood not only to have gifts, but gifts
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:19
			containing within it gifts.
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:22
			So deep was our understanding of the reality
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:22
			of Ramadan
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:25
			that we announced unashamedly
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:28
			that it is Al Kareem. It is a
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:30
			month that is generous, and we said Ramadan
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:33
			Kareem, and to each other, we congratulated
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:37
			each other by saying, Ramadan Mubarak, congratulations
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:39
			to you for receiving
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:41
			the guest called Ramadan.
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:44
			As I stand in front of you today,
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:45
			at this moment,
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:46
			on this Friday,
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:47
			at this Jumu'ah,
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:50
			on the same spot that I stood a
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:52
			few weeks ago, I say to you o
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:53
			servants of Allah
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:54
			that our guest
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:57
			is set on departing,
		
00:03:58 --> 00:03:58
			it's about
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:00
			to pack its bags,
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:01
			its tickets
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:05
			are booked, in fact its boarding passes
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:06
			have been printed.
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:10
			We only have, subhanallah,
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:12
			a dwindling
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:15
			set of moments with our guest.
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:18
			And such is the life of this world,
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:21
			but a believer is one that takes with
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:23
			him from the temporary
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:24
			to the perpetual.
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:28
			A believer isn't one that fits the mandates
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:30
			of the verses that Allah revealed in the
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:30
			Quran.
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:33
			The verses of regret, as we see in
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:34
			surah al Imran,
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:52
			Allah reveals about the people of regret.
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:55
			On the day when everybody shall find present
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:58
			before him, whatever good he did,
		
00:04:58 --> 00:04:59
			and whatever
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:02
			evil he did, he will wish there would
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:05
			have been a white space between him and
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:07
			that day, meaning the day of qiyama.
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:12
			Allah warns you about himself.
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:15
			Allah warns you about your standing in front
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:17
			of him. Allah warns you about the coming
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:19
			of the day of qiyamah.
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:23
			And Allah is ra'ufun bil Ibad. He is
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:23
			compassionate
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:24
			to his servants.
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:27
			So here we see, O servants of Allah,
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:30
			that mankind regrets loss in the dunya.
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:32
			But as I've said to you before, when
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:33
			we discussed Ramadan,
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:36
			that if the people of the grave had
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:37
			one wish,
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:39
			then their wish would be to be brought
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:41
			back to life to experience
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:44
			just one day and night of the month
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:44
			of Ramadan.
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:46
			Whilst mankind,
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:49
			on top of the ground, before the grave,
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:53
			regrets only the loss of the dunya, The
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:55
			people of the graves,
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:56
			they regret
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:57
			missed opportunities
		
00:05:58 --> 00:05:59
			to take to the akhirah.
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:02
			They regret the misdeeds
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:05
			that they did when they were alive. Allah
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:08
			subhanahu wa ta'ala also says in the same
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:09
			surah, surahul an'am,
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:14
			al
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:28
			Losers indeed.
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:28
			Losers,
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:31
			those who are in a state of loss.
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:32
			Losers indeed
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:34
			are those who deny the meeting with Allah
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:36
			subhanahu wa ta'ala until
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:40
			the hour takes them, strikes them by surprise,
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:43
			then they will cry, woe to us for
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:47
			having ignored this, ignoring the message, ignoring the
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:47
			opportunity,
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:49
			ignoring the proposition,
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:51
			ignoring the deal that was set in front
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:54
			of us. Woe to us for having ignored
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:56
			this, but they will bear the burden of
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:58
			their sins on their backs.
		
00:06:58 --> 00:06:59
			Evil is indeed
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:04
			the reality of their actions and evil indeed
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:05
			is their burden.
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:06
			He says,
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:07
			in Surah
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:19
			So that no sinful soul will say on
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:20
			the day of judgement, in the context of
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:23
			Surah Zumr, Allah is revealing guidance, And then
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:26
			Allah explains the guidance, that we reveal to
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:28
			you this guidance, so that no sinful soul
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:30
			will say on the day of judgment, woe
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:33
			to me for neglecting my duties towards Allah,
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:37
			for neglecting that fast, for neglecting that night,
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:40
			for neglecting that Ramadan, for neglecting that sadaqah,
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:42
			for neglecting that moment with the Quran, and
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:44
			the list goes on and on. So that
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:47
			no sinful soul will say on the day
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:49
			of judgment, woe to me for neglecting my
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:53
			duties, my duties regarding Allah, my duties towards
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:56
			Allah whilst ridiculing the truth. No doubt this
		
00:07:56 --> 00:07:58
			is with regards to the disbelievers.
		
00:07:58 --> 00:08:00
			But what is the case with the believers?
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:02
			Those who have a greater right to Allah
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:03
			than the disbelievers.
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:06
			My dear brothers and sisters in Islam,
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:09
			yes, Ramadan is leaving, and I don't share
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:11
			with you these verses to strike fear within
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:13
			you. But as I've said many a time
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:16
			from this mimbar, in this masjid, throughout the
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:17
			nights of Ramadan,
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:20
			It is only a message of calibration.
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:23
			It's not a message of disassociation.
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:25
			I'm not one to stand in front of
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:28
			you to present to you doom and gloom.
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:30
			And who am I to do this when
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:30
			the Sharia
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:33
			is merciful from a Lord who is merciful,
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:36
			who gives us a month that is merciful,
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:39
			days that are merciful, nights that are merciful,
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:41
			a fast that is merciful.
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:43
			Who am I to come and present to
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:45
			you doom and gloom? But we are an
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:47
			Ummah also that recognizes
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:50
			that we don't progress by sweeping
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:51
			weakness,
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:52
			by
		
00:08:53 --> 00:08:54
			sweeping loss of productivity,
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:58
			by sweeping mismanagement of our time under the
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:00
			carpet. This is an ummah that appreciates
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:01
			the English
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:05
			saying, take the bull by the horns. The
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:08
			message is none but a call towards the
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:09
			necessary calibration.
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:11
			During dwindling moments,
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:14
			moments of an opportunity, subhanAllah,
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:17
			that we may never ever see again. No
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:17
			one here
		
00:09:18 --> 00:09:20
			knows the list that Ramadan will come with
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:23
			next year, and whether our name will be
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:25
			on that list. If our parents' names will
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:27
			be on the list, if our children's names
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:29
			will be on the list, if our names
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:31
			will be on the list, if our loved
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:33
			ones' names will be on the list. So
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:35
			this is a time for necessary
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:38
			calibration. And Ramadan, as I said to you,
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:41
			is Kareem, is generous, a month that is
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:41
			merciful.
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:44
			And not only is it merciful in its
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:46
			coming, it is also merciful
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:47
			in its ending
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:50
			because of this message of calibration.
		
00:09:50 --> 00:09:52
			That Ramazan is here to tell you that
		
00:09:52 --> 00:09:55
			my bags are about to be packed, and
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:58
			my tickets are booked, and my boarding passes
		
00:09:58 --> 00:09:59
			are printed,
		
00:09:59 --> 00:10:02
			meaning the matter is final, the matter is
		
00:10:02 --> 00:10:04
			final. And this is a message of mercy
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:06
			to you, O servant of Allah, and O
		
00:10:06 --> 00:10:09
			child of Adam, that just as I have
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:10
			come,
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:12
			based on the mandate of a yamamadudat,
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:17
			a fixed number of days, you too exist
		
00:10:17 --> 00:10:21
			as well upon this idea of a yamamadudat,
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:24
			a fixed number of days.
		
00:10:24 --> 00:10:27
			Ramadan came, and Ramadan will go. And it's
		
00:10:27 --> 00:10:29
			telling us that you have come, and you
		
00:10:29 --> 00:10:31
			will go. So with this knowledge, oh, servants
		
00:10:31 --> 00:10:33
			of Allah, let's not
		
00:10:34 --> 00:10:37
			weaken, let's not become disabled with the remaining
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:38
			moments that we have. Alhamdulillah,
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:42
			we still have 4 nights to come. And
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:44
			what will make us understand the reality of
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:47
			these nights? And not only 4 nights, tonight
		
00:10:47 --> 00:10:50
			is the 27th night, and another odd night,
		
00:10:50 --> 00:10:53
			29th night, Nights that the prophet sallallahu alaihi
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:53
			wa sallam
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:56
			taught us even more when he said search
		
00:10:56 --> 00:10:59
			for Laylatul Qadr. During the last 10 nights,
		
00:10:59 --> 00:11:00
			He was more emphasized
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:03
			when he spoke about the last
		
00:11:03 --> 00:11:06
			odd nights during the last 10 nights. And
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:08
			Ubay ibn Ka'ab, regarding the night that's about
		
00:11:08 --> 00:11:10
			to approach us, may Allah give us life
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:12
			to see tonight. He swore by Allah that
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:14
			the lay that laylatul Qadr is the 27th.
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:17
			And the scholars, they have a discussion between
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:20
			them. Does he mean 27th during his year
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:22
			because of his searching? And this is most
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:24
			likely the case because thereafter, when they asked
		
00:11:24 --> 00:11:26
			him why, he said because of the signs
		
00:11:26 --> 00:11:28
			that the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam taught us,
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:30
			and he saw the rising of the sun
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:33
			meet the description shared by the prophet sallallahu
		
00:11:33 --> 00:11:36
			alaihi wasallam. The point is that
		
00:11:36 --> 00:11:37
			according to the sahaba,
		
00:11:38 --> 00:11:38
			27th
		
00:11:39 --> 00:11:40
			was a night in which the night of
		
00:11:40 --> 00:11:42
			power, and decree
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:45
			and virtue settled in. And what will make
		
00:11:45 --> 00:11:46
			us understand
		
00:11:46 --> 00:11:48
			the reality of this night,
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:53
			That indeed we revealed the Quran during this
		
00:11:53 --> 00:11:56
			night of power and decree and virtue. That
		
00:11:56 --> 00:11:58
			this Quran touched a night, and this night
		
00:11:58 --> 00:12:00
			will be the greatest night
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:02
			that the world has ever experienced.
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:04
			The night of power and decree and virtue.
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:06
			The night of the Quran. So great is
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:08
			it, Allah says.
		
00:12:10 --> 00:12:13
			What words can be used? What description can
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:15
			be given? What idea can be pitched to
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:16
			help you understand
		
00:12:17 --> 00:12:19
			the reality of this night?
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:23
			The night of power and decree and virtue
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:26
			is not equal to a 1000 months, but
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:28
			greater than a 1000 months. It brings to
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:29
			you an unprecedented
		
00:12:30 --> 00:12:30
			value proposition,
		
00:12:31 --> 00:12:34
			the ability to live more than 83 years
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:37
			by just experiencing 1 night. And for a
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:39
			believer living more than 83 years is about
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:42
			building Jannah, the building of more than 83
		
00:12:42 --> 00:12:45
			years for just living through a night. Wallahi,
		
00:12:45 --> 00:12:46
			o servants of Allah,
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:50
			I ask you, who can gift you like
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:50
			this?
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:54
			Who can gift you a gift that demands
		
00:12:54 --> 00:12:56
			from you a few hours of worship and
		
00:12:56 --> 00:12:59
			the reward is beyond the hours of worship
		
00:12:59 --> 00:13:01
			that you have given? And even in those
		
00:13:01 --> 00:13:03
			few hours of worship, the weaknesses that you
		
00:13:03 --> 00:13:06
			experienced in your worship, Allah will forgive you
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:07
			for them, and Allah will reward you the
		
00:13:07 --> 00:13:11
			rewards greater than 83 years. Who can reward
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:12
			you like this? Oh
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:14
			mankind.
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:19
			What has put you in the deception of
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:21
			your Lord who is kareem, who is generous,
		
00:13:21 --> 00:13:23
			who is benevolent, who is virtuous.
		
00:13:25 --> 00:13:26
			Fasawaka,
		
00:13:27 --> 00:13:29
			fasawaka, faidalak, He created you, he shaped you,
		
00:13:29 --> 00:13:32
			and he made you upright, and then we
		
00:13:32 --> 00:13:33
			can add to it. He brought you the
		
00:13:33 --> 00:13:35
			month of Ramadan, a month in which the
		
00:13:35 --> 00:13:38
			gates of Jannah are open, the gates of
		
00:13:38 --> 00:13:40
			the hellfire are shut, a month that comes
		
00:13:40 --> 00:13:43
			with an act of worship that separates us
		
00:13:43 --> 00:13:44
			from the hellfire,
		
00:13:44 --> 00:13:47
			the distance of 1000 and 1000 of years.
		
00:13:47 --> 00:13:49
			A month that comes to you with the
		
00:13:49 --> 00:13:52
			night of power and decree and virtue and
		
00:13:52 --> 00:13:54
			all other acts of worship, subhanAllah,
		
00:13:54 --> 00:13:56
			that we focus on in Ramadan. Some acts
		
00:13:56 --> 00:14:00
			unique to Ramadan that don't exist outside of
		
00:14:00 --> 00:14:02
			Ramadan, like the tarawih that we experienced together
		
00:14:03 --> 00:14:06
			after the salatul Arisha, in jama'ah, in congregation,
		
00:14:06 --> 00:14:08
			and so on and so forth. This is
		
00:14:08 --> 00:14:09
			the reality, subhanAllah,
		
00:14:10 --> 00:14:12
			of the days that remain in front of
		
00:14:12 --> 00:14:15
			us, of the month that has been presented
		
00:14:15 --> 00:14:16
			to us. So my dear brothers and sisters
		
00:14:16 --> 00:14:17
			in Islam,
		
00:14:18 --> 00:14:20
			let us utilize what remains. This is a
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:23
			call from the mimbar towards action. This is
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:26
			a call from the member towards focus. This
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:28
			is a call from the member towards prioritization.
		
00:14:29 --> 00:14:32
			Nothing else should matter. We need to be
		
00:14:32 --> 00:14:34
			in that race. The race to Allah subhanahu
		
00:14:34 --> 00:14:38
			wa ta'ala. The great race, the blessed race,
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:40
			the welcomed race, the perpetual
		
00:14:40 --> 00:14:43
			race, where we're racing to Allah through deeds
		
00:14:43 --> 00:14:45
			beloved to Allah seeking out Allah Subhanahu Wa
		
00:14:45 --> 00:14:47
			Ta'ala at every opportunity
		
00:14:47 --> 00:14:48
			at every cost
		
00:14:49 --> 00:14:50
			Sleep isn't important.
		
00:14:50 --> 00:14:54
			Food isn't important. Your job isn't important. Your
		
00:14:54 --> 00:14:57
			children aren't as important. Your spouses aren't as
		
00:14:57 --> 00:14:59
			important. This is the time to bring everyone
		
00:14:59 --> 00:14:59
			together.
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:02
			Upon a common understanding
		
00:15:02 --> 00:15:04
			that the family as a whole understands that
		
00:15:04 --> 00:15:06
			we are on a mission together to be
		
00:15:06 --> 00:15:09
			a family in a great Jannah together. Let
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:11
			us help each other to be closer to
		
00:15:11 --> 00:15:14
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala during these days and
		
00:15:14 --> 00:15:17
			during these nights. It's not just ayaama ma'adudat.
		
00:15:17 --> 00:15:19
			It's not just days that are numbered in
		
00:15:19 --> 00:15:22
			number. Really, it's moments that are numbered in
		
00:15:22 --> 00:15:24
			number right now. This is what we're dealing
		
00:15:24 --> 00:15:27
			with. We're really dealing with pens and pennies
		
00:15:27 --> 00:15:29
			now, my dear brothers and sisters in Islam,
		
00:15:29 --> 00:15:31
			in terms of the days and the moments
		
00:15:31 --> 00:15:33
			that remain. So this is the call from
		
00:15:33 --> 00:15:36
			the mimbr, from a heart to a heart,
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:37
			from one who loves you all for the
		
00:15:37 --> 00:15:40
			sake of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. My call
		
00:15:40 --> 00:15:42
			to you is not for me. My call
		
00:15:42 --> 00:15:44
			to you is for you, oh, servants of
		
00:15:44 --> 00:15:47
			Allah. So take this message in the spirit
		
00:15:47 --> 00:15:49
			that is being shared. May Allah Subhanahu Wa
		
00:15:49 --> 00:15:51
			Ta'ala accept what has passed of our month.
		
00:15:51 --> 00:15:54
			Forgive what has passed. Accept what has been
		
00:15:54 --> 00:15:56
			completed. May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala accept our
		
00:15:56 --> 00:15:58
			deeds with his mercy, for indeed we had
		
00:15:58 --> 00:16:01
			weaknesses in our deeds, And may Allah
		
00:16:01 --> 00:16:03
			bless us in what remains. Ameen.
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:30
			O servants of Allah
		
00:17:30 --> 00:17:31
			and O children of Adam,
		
00:17:33 --> 00:17:35
			from the moments that remains,
		
00:17:37 --> 00:17:38
			from our blessed month,
		
00:17:39 --> 00:17:41
			and the acts of worship specific
		
00:17:42 --> 00:17:42
			to our month
		
00:17:43 --> 00:17:43
			is
		
00:17:45 --> 00:17:46
			Otherwise known
		
00:17:47 --> 00:17:48
			as Zakatul Fitr.
		
00:17:49 --> 00:17:51
			And this is a charity that's unique to
		
00:17:51 --> 00:17:53
			Ramadan. And from the wisdoms of it,
		
00:17:55 --> 00:17:57
			is so that
		
00:17:57 --> 00:17:59
			we are forgiven for our mistakes therein.
		
00:18:01 --> 00:18:04
			And from its reasons, is so that we
		
00:18:04 --> 00:18:04
			recognize
		
00:18:05 --> 00:18:07
			the unified nature of our month.
		
00:18:08 --> 00:18:09
			That as we eat on the day of
		
00:18:09 --> 00:18:11
			read and that is a day in which
		
00:18:11 --> 00:18:12
			it's forbidden to fast,
		
00:18:13 --> 00:18:14
			We make sure
		
00:18:15 --> 00:18:17
			that there are people from this Umma that
		
00:18:17 --> 00:18:19
			don't have to fast on that day.
		
00:18:20 --> 00:18:22
			The prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam,
		
00:18:22 --> 00:18:23
			he stipulated
		
00:18:23 --> 00:18:24
			sadaqatul
		
00:18:24 --> 00:18:25
			fitr upon the suhabah,
		
00:18:26 --> 00:18:28
			and he listed it as a measurement of
		
00:18:28 --> 00:18:28
			a saa'a.
		
00:18:29 --> 00:18:30
			And a saa'a
		
00:18:31 --> 00:18:32
			is a fiqh measurement
		
00:18:33 --> 00:18:35
			that denotes a unit of volume,
		
00:18:35 --> 00:18:38
			not a unit of weight, and that's why
		
00:18:38 --> 00:18:41
			we have different understandings in terms of what
		
00:18:41 --> 00:18:42
			weight represents
		
00:18:43 --> 00:18:43
			a saw.
		
00:18:45 --> 00:18:46
			And as we know, my brothers and sisters
		
00:18:46 --> 00:18:47
			in Islam,
		
00:18:48 --> 00:18:50
			when we talk about a unit of volume,
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:54
			it's natural for weights to differ because it's
		
00:18:54 --> 00:18:56
			dependent on what you place in that space.
		
00:18:57 --> 00:19:00
			Whether it's wheat, whether it's rice, whether it's
		
00:19:00 --> 00:19:02
			dates, depending on what you place in a
		
00:19:02 --> 00:19:03
			unit of volume,
		
00:19:04 --> 00:19:05
			that will dictate
		
00:19:06 --> 00:19:08
			the eventual measurement in grams
		
00:19:08 --> 00:19:09
			and kilograms.
		
00:19:09 --> 00:19:12
			But to facilitate things for us, our scholars
		
00:19:12 --> 00:19:13
			have looked at
		
00:19:13 --> 00:19:14
			various
		
00:19:14 --> 00:19:15
			staples
		
00:19:15 --> 00:19:16
			in our time
		
00:19:16 --> 00:19:19
			and connected it to what was a saw
		
00:19:19 --> 00:19:21
			in Al Madinah, in the city of the
		
00:19:21 --> 00:19:22
			prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam,
		
00:19:23 --> 00:19:24
			and they concluded
		
00:19:24 --> 00:19:25
			that it is between
		
00:19:26 --> 00:19:27
			2.1
		
00:19:27 --> 00:19:30
			and 3 KGs, depending on what you give
		
00:19:31 --> 00:19:31
			for the sake of Allah
		
00:19:32 --> 00:19:33
			as sadaqatul fitr.
		
00:19:34 --> 00:19:36
			And a safe way would be to base
		
00:19:36 --> 00:19:37
			it on 2.5.
		
00:19:38 --> 00:19:41
			I have seen different scholars making things easier
		
00:19:42 --> 00:19:43
			for us here,
		
00:19:43 --> 00:19:45
			and they've looked at
		
00:19:46 --> 00:19:48
			eventual avenues to distribute the sadaqah tul fitr.
		
00:19:48 --> 00:19:50
			And based on this, they've done the measurements
		
00:19:50 --> 00:19:52
			and given you a pound price.
		
00:19:52 --> 00:19:53
			I've seen prices range
		
00:19:54 --> 00:19:55
			from £3
		
00:19:55 --> 00:19:56
			to around £5.50.
		
00:19:58 --> 00:20:02
			This sadaqatul fitr has to be distributed
		
00:20:03 --> 00:20:04
			and given
		
00:20:04 --> 00:20:07
			to the entity, the stakeholder that has a
		
00:20:07 --> 00:20:07
			right to it
		
00:20:08 --> 00:20:11
			before their Eid prayer begins in the country
		
00:20:11 --> 00:20:13
			that you are in. It's very important brothers
		
00:20:13 --> 00:20:15
			and sisters in Islam. Many a time we
		
00:20:15 --> 00:20:17
			make a mistake with regards to this Ibadah
		
00:20:17 --> 00:20:18
			right at the end of Ramadan.
		
00:20:19 --> 00:20:20
			And the prophet
		
00:20:21 --> 00:20:24
			said, that whoever completes the sadaqah
		
00:20:24 --> 00:20:26
			before the Eid prayer, then it is sadaqah
		
00:20:26 --> 00:20:28
			tul fitr, and they get the rewards for
		
00:20:28 --> 00:20:30
			it. And whoever does it after them, they
		
00:20:30 --> 00:20:32
			get the rewards for a general sadaqa.
		
00:20:33 --> 00:20:36
			Now ideally, sadaqa tul fitr is given where
		
00:20:36 --> 00:20:37
			the body is.
		
00:20:38 --> 00:20:41
			Whilst zakah of wealth is given, ideally where
		
00:20:41 --> 00:20:42
			the wealth is.
		
00:20:42 --> 00:20:44
			And many people ask this question, where do
		
00:20:44 --> 00:20:46
			I give the money? You may be in
		
00:20:46 --> 00:20:49
			Blackburn, but then you travel to Saudi for
		
00:20:49 --> 00:20:51
			umrah, for example. Should I pay in Blackburn,
		
00:20:51 --> 00:20:53
			or should I pay in Makkah, for example?
		
00:20:54 --> 00:20:55
			The general principle
		
00:20:56 --> 00:20:59
			is sadaqatul fitr follows where your body is.
		
00:21:00 --> 00:21:02
			And the zakah of your money, the compulsory
		
00:21:02 --> 00:21:05
			pillar of Islam, zakah, is given where your
		
00:21:05 --> 00:21:07
			wealth is, meaning where the poor living there
		
00:21:07 --> 00:21:09
			see your wealth. So give them from your
		
00:21:09 --> 00:21:11
			wealth because they see your wealth.
		
00:21:12 --> 00:21:14
			And sadaqatul fitr is where your body
		
00:21:15 --> 00:21:17
			is because people will see you celebrating Eid,
		
00:21:17 --> 00:21:18
			they will see your body enjoying it, they
		
00:21:18 --> 00:21:20
			will see you as a person enjoying it,
		
00:21:21 --> 00:21:23
			So they should have the ability to celebrate
		
00:21:23 --> 00:21:25
			the Eid as well. Now obviously, this is
		
00:21:25 --> 00:21:26
			if it is possible.
		
00:21:27 --> 00:21:29
			We live in different circumstances and different situations,
		
00:21:30 --> 00:21:30
			and
		
00:21:31 --> 00:21:33
			the facilities from the different charities have been
		
00:21:33 --> 00:21:35
			set for you all. The point is,
		
00:21:35 --> 00:21:37
			if you are distributing
		
00:21:37 --> 00:21:38
			your sadaqahatul
		
00:21:38 --> 00:21:40
			fitr, it is upon you to let the
		
00:21:40 --> 00:21:42
			charity that you use know
		
00:21:42 --> 00:21:45
			that your idsalah will be most likely on
		
00:21:45 --> 00:21:47
			Wednesday morning, meaning by Tuesday night it should
		
00:21:47 --> 00:21:48
			be given,
		
00:21:48 --> 00:21:49
			Or better, Monday,
		
00:21:50 --> 00:21:52
			and you can also do it by Sunday
		
00:21:52 --> 00:21:54
			night, meaning 2 days before, Eid.
		
00:21:54 --> 00:21:57
			So if Eid is on Wednesday, aff1. If
		
00:21:57 --> 00:21:58
			Eid is on Wednesday, then you can distribute
		
00:21:58 --> 00:22:00
			it on a Monday and a Tuesday. It's
		
00:22:00 --> 00:22:02
			important to let them know. In case the
		
00:22:02 --> 00:22:04
			distribution is happening in a place where their
		
00:22:04 --> 00:22:05
			Eid is on a Thursday,
		
00:22:06 --> 00:22:08
			for example, and it's only going to be
		
00:22:08 --> 00:22:10
			given to them on a Thursday, you have
		
00:22:10 --> 00:22:12
			to let them know that my body, myself,
		
00:22:12 --> 00:22:14
			I will be celebrating
		
00:22:14 --> 00:22:15
			Eid on this day.
		
00:22:15 --> 00:22:17
			And most likely this year as we said,
		
00:22:17 --> 00:22:19
			because as Allah set the sun and the
		
00:22:19 --> 00:22:21
			moon in motion,
		
00:22:26 --> 00:22:28
			Allah has set the sun and the moon
		
00:22:28 --> 00:22:30
			in motion based on the events of this
		
00:22:30 --> 00:22:32
			motion this year, Eid most likely,
		
00:22:33 --> 00:22:34
			we say most likely out of respect with
		
00:22:34 --> 00:22:36
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, it will be on
		
00:22:36 --> 00:22:39
			Wednesday. Because on Monday night, seeing the moon
		
00:22:39 --> 00:22:42
			is not possible, and Allah knows best because
		
00:22:42 --> 00:22:43
			of the time of its birth. So we
		
00:22:43 --> 00:22:44
			will fast Tuesday.
		
00:22:45 --> 00:22:47
			So it's important to let the entities that
		
00:22:47 --> 00:22:50
			you use know that before takbir for Eid
		
00:22:50 --> 00:22:52
			is done, Allahu akbar fathasalatul
		
00:22:52 --> 00:22:56
			Eid. Where you are, your sadaqatul fitr reaches
		
00:22:56 --> 00:22:57
			the necessary stakeholder.
		
00:22:58 --> 00:23:00
			This is with regards to sadaqatul fitr, and
		
00:23:00 --> 00:23:01
			I wanted to share this with you before
		
00:23:01 --> 00:23:03
			the end of this khutbah because many a
		
00:23:03 --> 00:23:05
			time we make a mistake about this.
		
00:23:06 --> 00:23:08
			Last but not least, oh, servants of Allah,
		
00:23:08 --> 00:23:10
			and again I don't share this hadith to
		
00:23:10 --> 00:23:11
			make you fearful.
		
00:23:12 --> 00:23:13
			I share this hadith
		
00:23:14 --> 00:23:16
			as a means of calibration. In fact, it
		
00:23:16 --> 00:23:18
			is a hadith of mercy and hope if
		
00:23:18 --> 00:23:19
			you ponder over its meaning.
		
00:23:20 --> 00:23:21
			On a Friday,
		
00:23:22 --> 00:23:25
			once upon a time, the prophet sallallahu alaihi
		
00:23:25 --> 00:23:26
			wasallam ascended the mimbar.
		
00:23:28 --> 00:23:29
			But this time it was a different ascension,
		
00:23:30 --> 00:23:32
			For he took a step and he said,
		
00:23:32 --> 00:23:33
			ameen.
		
00:23:34 --> 00:23:35
			Then he took another step and he said,
		
00:23:35 --> 00:23:36
			ameen.
		
00:23:37 --> 00:23:39
			And he took another step and he said,
		
00:23:39 --> 00:23:39
			Ameen.
		
00:23:40 --> 00:23:42
			The Sahaba radiAllahu anhu ajumeen,
		
00:23:43 --> 00:23:43
			who observed
		
00:23:44 --> 00:23:45
			every motion,
		
00:23:45 --> 00:23:46
			and moment,
		
00:23:46 --> 00:23:49
			and movement of the Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam,
		
00:23:49 --> 00:23:51
			they caught onto this, and they immediately
		
00:23:52 --> 00:23:54
			asked him at the first opportunity.
		
00:23:55 --> 00:23:57
			We noticed you said Amin 3 times, You
		
00:23:57 --> 00:23:57
			Rasulullah.
		
00:23:58 --> 00:24:00
			Is this a new instruction from Allah?
		
00:24:01 --> 00:24:03
			Is this the new etiquette when ascending the
		
00:24:03 --> 00:24:04
			mimbar?
		
00:24:04 --> 00:24:05
			And the prophet
		
00:24:06 --> 00:24:07
			said, no.
		
00:24:08 --> 00:24:08
			But rather,
		
00:24:09 --> 00:24:11
			today when I ascended the mimbar Jibril descended
		
00:24:11 --> 00:24:14
			from the heavens, and he made
		
00:24:14 --> 00:24:14
			3
		
00:24:16 --> 00:24:17
			duas. From them
		
00:24:18 --> 00:24:19
			was the dua,
		
00:24:19 --> 00:24:22
			that may Allah's curse and downfall be upon
		
00:24:22 --> 00:24:23
			a person
		
00:24:23 --> 00:24:26
			who witnesses their parents in old age, and
		
00:24:26 --> 00:24:27
			their parents pass away
		
00:24:28 --> 00:24:30
			without them gaining the rewards of having served
		
00:24:30 --> 00:24:32
			their parents in their old age.
		
00:24:32 --> 00:24:33
			To this,
		
00:24:34 --> 00:24:35
			He said, aami.
		
00:24:36 --> 00:24:38
			He said, and I'm not saying it in
		
00:24:38 --> 00:24:39
			order,
		
00:24:40 --> 00:24:42
			may Allah's downfall be upon the one who
		
00:24:42 --> 00:24:43
			hears your name, Muhammad,
		
00:24:44 --> 00:24:47
			and doesn't say sallallahu alaihi wasallam. He doesn't
		
00:24:47 --> 00:24:48
			send salutations upon you.
		
00:24:49 --> 00:24:51
			And to this the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa
		
00:24:51 --> 00:24:52
			sallam said, ami.
		
00:24:54 --> 00:24:55
			And then Jibril said,
		
00:24:56 --> 00:24:57
			may Allah's downfall,
		
00:24:58 --> 00:25:01
			may downfall reach from Allah a person
		
00:25:01 --> 00:25:03
			who witnesses the month of Ramadan,
		
00:25:04 --> 00:25:06
			and the month of Ramadan leaves them
		
00:25:07 --> 00:25:08
			without them being forgiven.
		
00:25:10 --> 00:25:13
			And the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam said, Ameen.
		
00:25:14 --> 00:25:15
			Subhanallah.
		
00:25:16 --> 00:25:18
			I pondered over this narration for
		
00:25:18 --> 00:25:19
			a period of time.
		
00:25:21 --> 00:25:22
			Now what's going on here?
		
00:25:23 --> 00:25:25
			The prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam was sent as
		
00:25:25 --> 00:25:27
			a mercy to the worlds,
		
00:25:28 --> 00:25:29
			a mercy to the worlds.
		
00:25:30 --> 00:25:31
			Even after Pa'if,
		
00:25:32 --> 00:25:34
			when he was given the ability to have
		
00:25:34 --> 00:25:35
			a people crushed
		
00:25:36 --> 00:25:37
			for stoning him,
		
00:25:37 --> 00:25:39
			he chose for them to be preserved.
		
00:25:40 --> 00:25:42
			He was a mercy to the world.
		
00:25:42 --> 00:25:45
			What would make the mercy to the world
		
00:25:45 --> 00:25:46
			say Amin to this dua?
		
00:25:47 --> 00:25:49
			About a people who witnessed the month of
		
00:25:49 --> 00:25:49
			Ramadan,
		
00:25:50 --> 00:25:52
			and the month of Ramadan leaves them without
		
00:25:52 --> 00:25:54
			them being forgiven. Why would he say Amin?
		
00:25:55 --> 00:25:58
			SubhanAllah. When Ramadan is for this Umma, for
		
00:25:58 --> 00:26:01
			his Ummah, for the Ummah of Muhammad sallallahu
		
00:26:01 --> 00:26:02
			alaihi wasallam,
		
00:26:02 --> 00:26:04
			why would he say Amin?
		
00:26:05 --> 00:26:06
			And the only conclusion
		
00:26:07 --> 00:26:09
			that I reached was
		
00:26:10 --> 00:26:11
			because of the nature of the month of
		
00:26:11 --> 00:26:12
			Ramadan.
		
00:26:13 --> 00:26:15
			The month of Ramadan is so merciful,
		
00:26:16 --> 00:26:19
			to an extent beyond our ability to describe
		
00:26:19 --> 00:26:20
			and imagine.
		
00:26:24 --> 00:26:25
			That only the one
		
00:26:26 --> 00:26:29
			who says, Yeah, Allah, I don't want to
		
00:26:29 --> 00:26:29
			be forgiven.
		
00:26:30 --> 00:26:32
			They won't be forgiven. So may Allah's downfall
		
00:26:32 --> 00:26:34
			be upon the one who says this when
		
00:26:34 --> 00:26:36
			Allah brings to them a gift like no
		
00:26:36 --> 00:26:38
			other gift. That Ramadan is so merciful
		
00:26:38 --> 00:26:40
			that even if by mistake
		
00:26:41 --> 00:26:42
			you tried to be forgiven,
		
00:26:43 --> 00:26:44
			it is a month that you will be
		
00:26:44 --> 00:26:46
			forgiven. This is the only conclusion we can
		
00:26:46 --> 00:26:48
			have, my brothers and sisters in Islam. Such
		
00:26:48 --> 00:26:50
			is the reality of our month. So, oh,
		
00:26:50 --> 00:26:53
			servants of Allah, stand up for you, Lord,
		
00:26:53 --> 00:26:54
			and get forgiven.
		
00:26:54 --> 00:26:56
			Meet the day of read being freed from
		
00:26:56 --> 00:26:57
			the hellfire
		
00:26:57 --> 00:26:58
			with sincere
		
00:27:00 --> 00:27:00
			confirmation,
		
00:27:02 --> 00:27:03
			sincere confidence
		
00:27:03 --> 00:27:04
			in your heart
		
00:27:05 --> 00:27:07
			that I'm experiencing the first of Shawwal
		
00:27:07 --> 00:27:08
			as a newborn
		
00:27:09 --> 00:27:10
			child.
		
00:27:10 --> 00:27:12
			I asked Allah to forgive me, and Allah
		
00:27:12 --> 00:27:15
			has forgiven me. I prayed the nights, and
		
00:27:15 --> 00:27:17
			Allah has accepted it. I fasted the days,
		
00:27:17 --> 00:27:19
			and Allah has accepted it. Then meet the
		
00:27:19 --> 00:27:21
			day of Eid, having good thoughts about your
		
00:27:21 --> 00:27:25
			Lord, subhanah, o servants of Allah. Through this,
		
00:27:25 --> 00:27:27
			I introduce you to the mercy of your
		
00:27:27 --> 00:27:30
			Lord, and I wish for me, and you,
		
00:27:30 --> 00:27:33
			and our parents, and spouses, and children, and
		
00:27:33 --> 00:27:35
			the Ummah at large, our loved ones, the
		
00:27:35 --> 00:27:38
			oppressed ones, those who are ill, and those
		
00:27:38 --> 00:27:39
			who have passed away,
		
00:27:39 --> 00:27:42
			a complete forgiveness during the salamat.
		
00:27:42 --> 00:27:45
			And I ask Allah upon us a complete
		
00:27:45 --> 00:27:46
			reward
		
00:27:46 --> 00:27:47
			with the passing of this Ramadan.
		
00:27:48 --> 00:27:49
			I ask Allah to make this Ramadan our
		
00:27:49 --> 00:27:52
			best month ever. To make us from amongst
		
00:27:52 --> 00:27:54
			those that stood its nights, and fasted its
		
00:27:54 --> 00:27:56
			days, and stood the night of power and
		
00:27:56 --> 00:27:59
			decree and virtually the turqadr, iman and wahdisaban,
		
00:28:00 --> 00:28:01
			believing in him,
		
00:28:02 --> 00:28:04
			and with confident hope that Allah
		
00:28:05 --> 00:28:07
			will accept it from us, so that Allah
		
00:28:07 --> 00:28:08
			forgives our possums.
		
00:28:09 --> 00:28:11
			And I ask Allah to make us reach
		
00:28:11 --> 00:28:13
			the day of Eid, being a people that
		
00:28:13 --> 00:28:16
			witness the night of power, decree, and virtue.
		
00:28:16 --> 00:28:18
			And I ask him, you Allah, to make
		
00:28:18 --> 00:28:20
			us a people who reach the day of
		
00:28:20 --> 00:28:20
			read,
		
00:28:21 --> 00:28:23
			as a people who are successful,
		
00:28:24 --> 00:28:26
			as a people who have written to be
		
00:28:26 --> 00:28:27
			from the people of taqoo, the
		
00:28:28 --> 00:28:31
			objective of Ramadan, aamin, You Rabbilahalamin,
		
00:28:32 --> 00:28:32
			And ask Allah
		
00:28:33 --> 00:28:35
			not to make this Ramadan our last month,
		
00:28:35 --> 00:28:38
			but to bring to us many many more
		
00:28:38 --> 00:28:38
			Ramadans
		
00:28:38 --> 00:28:40
			whilst we are in good health and a
		
00:28:40 --> 00:28:41
			good state of
		
00:28:41 --> 00:28:43
			iman and faith.
