We begin by praising Allah subhanho wa taala. And we begin in his name. We do so seeking His blessings. And we do so for his most deserving of all praises. And we request praises and blessings

00:02:22--> 00:03:18

as well. From Allah to our master and leader, the ultimate teacher, Muhammad Ali Abdullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, the one who brought to us the glad tidings when one of the greatest gifts from Allah subhanho wa Taala arrived and descended upon us, the month of Ramadan, the one who said Telkom Ramadan, Sharon Mubarak, the month of Ramadan has come to you. Indeed, it is a blessed month. My Dear Brothers and Sisters in Islam in the weeks leading up to Ramadan, we spoke about Ramadan And subhanAllah last Sunday at sunset, and then the following Monday, Ramadan knocked our doors in earnest sent by Allah subhanho wa Taala a God sent gift, a gift bearing within it gifts a month

00:03:18--> 00:04:07

dubbed as Karim as generous for indeed it is the gift that keeps gifting. Not only is it a gift, in and of itself, for it is indeed the month of Mercy Allah in it. He forgives countless people from the hellfire and the numbers only increase as the nights of Ramadan Ramadan progress. The month in and of itself is a month chosen by Allah to be the month in which Allah forgives countless people from the hellfire. It is a gift in and of itself. But then it came to us with gifts. And from these gifts that it came with when he knocked our doors last Sunday was the gift of a rehab Subhanallah a gate from the gates of Jana, the gates from the gates of GNN. The gates from the gates of paradise,

00:04:07--> 00:04:52

a gate dedicated to the one who fasts, the Ramadan comes with the obligation of fasting, as if it has come to give us the visa. It has come to give us the paths. It has come to give us the permission to enter through a gate that no one will enter except the one who fasts La Ilaha illa Allah that was the coming of Ramadan, our opportunity to enter Jannah only increases for there is the gate of Salah and for those who pray they have that gate but Alhamdulillah now they have another gate as well. And that is the gate of fasting and cm for the gate of fasting and cm is known as the gate of Ray when it came to our doors last Sunday, knocking our doors with the gift of two

00:04:52--> 00:04:59

happinesses for the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said Lissa me Farhat and for the one who first the rest

00:05:00--> 00:05:46

If to happinesses the first Happiness is when they break their fast after going through a day of giving up the food and the drink and the desires for the sake of one Allah, Allah had a summit Allah de la Amelie duel Him He will lead. Well let me Aquila, who for one had Allah, the Lord, the one who is one in his worship, and His Lordship and his names and attributes. We gave up our drink our food, our desires for the sake of that one Lord, Allah says, For the fasting person is a happiness or happiness when they break their fast and yes, no doubt, a happiness for the quench that they receive to their thirst for the feeling that they receive for the hunger but also Subhanallah for the

00:05:46--> 00:06:25

blessings that comes at the time when you break that fast for the DUA that Allah promises you that it will go unanswered. That will go on to that it will not go around. So therefore, a dua that will not go unanswered. The fasting person before he breaks his fast or her fast when they raise their hands and the Ostrom the lords of the world's Allah subhanho wa Taala promises that that dua will be answered by Allah subhanho wa Taala not just answered, but in a manner far better than the seeker asks from Allah for Allah as knowledge supersedes the knowledge of the one asking, and sometimes we ask for something that we feel is better for us. But Allah knows it's not good for us. Allah knows

00:06:25--> 00:06:33

there's something else better for us. Allah takes that DUA and he converts it to the better. This is a happiness he gives the fasting person but also

00:06:34--> 00:07:21

the happiness of forgiveness for Allah forgives the fasting person when the fasting person breaks his fast. One of the happinesses out of the two happiness is that Allah subhanho wa Taala gives the fasting person Ramadan, knocked our doors last Sunday with this gift, the gift of this happiness. And as for the second happiness, Allah says it's the happiness when my slave meets me when the slave of Allah meets Allah on the day of PM, a day that is known to have events of such fury. A day, when the screams of the hellfire and the heat of the Hellfire. Forget about the sight of the Alpha just the heat of it will be felt even though a people will be so far away from it. That day Subhanallah

00:07:21--> 00:08:08

that only brings to you the opportunity to feel fear. Allah says on that day the fasting person will experience happiness, happiness when they meet the Lord. Why, for Allah subhanho wa Taala will reward them for their fast on that day reward befitting of Allah's Mercy befalling his slave Subhana that Allah says the rewards of every other act of worship are set and multiplied based on our intentions, except for the fast the fast is for Allah and Allah will reward his slave as He wills on that day on the day of pm when his slave meets him. And this is just some of the gifts Subhanallah that Ramadan knocked our doors with last Sunday. It came with fasting and it also came with Quran.

00:08:08--> 00:08:50

In fact Subhanallah Quran proceeded the fast for we bang we began the Torah wish and we began Surah Baqarah we began Surah Fatiha we began reciting the Quran. Indeed Ramadan came with the Quran for the month of Ramadan is the month of Al Quran, Shri Rama Vana, levy Yun Zi la vie Hill Quran. The month of Ramadan is the month in which Allah revealed the Quran. And it's not one of those guests that will burn us out even though it is demanding. It's a guest that demands but doesn't burn us out. Why doesn't it burn us out? Because Ramadan is not that guest that demands from us for the benefit of Ramadan. It is the guest that pushes us It demands from us for the benefit of us

00:08:50--> 00:09:31

ourselves. Subhanallah a guest that pushes you for you can never burn you out. It will keep you up at night. It will keep you hungry during the day. But what Allah he will be Lehi, what Allah He Ramadan doesn't do it for its own benefit. It does it for your benefit in this life and then your benefit in the grave and then your benefit when you are raised on the Day of Resurrection La Ilaha illa Allah this is from the gifts of Ramadan Ramadan Ramadan progresses with us in a way that may tie us in a way that may or may make us lose weight, but Subhanallah we don't feel underpowered. Rather, we feel empowered. as the month progresses, we might lose more weight, we might feel more

00:09:31--> 00:10:00

tired, but Subhanallah the energies that we feel have depleted they are only physical in reality, they are replenished with a different power, a different energy and that is the energy of Eman belief in Allah subhanho wa Taala that is the energy of being detached from the physical and being attached to the metaphysical being detached from the temporary and becoming attached to the permanent from a van pulls us away forcefully from food and drink and desires that are part of the physical lifestyle.

00:10:00--> 00:10:38

of this world and it connects us to Jana and the acts of Jana that are back here to Solly hat the acts that will remain they will be with us in this life, we will get the blessings from them whilst we are alive. And when we die, we will see the blessings of them in our grave. And when we raised on the day of PM, we will see the blessings with us on the Day of pm and when we are driven to Allah, these blessings will be with us we discussing the Tafseer how Surah Al Baqarah and earn Imran And the heroine, the two bright lights will be flocking above us for those who are from the family of Al Baqarah. And and Imran defending us arguing on our behalf when we are driven to ALLAH SubhanA

00:10:38--> 00:11:18

whoever had the benefit Subhanallah they are long lasting, until the slave finally takes his step into Jannah a place that no I have seen, no heart has ever dreamt of. And no ear has ever heard of Subhanallah This is the reality of Ramadan are servants of Allah, and it will only increase and our Messiah will teach us in sha Allah during the remaining Fridays about the other gifts of Ramadan. Because as we approach the last 10 Wallah Ilaha illa Allah, what will make you understand the last 10 of Ramadan, the best nights of the year, the chosen nights by Allah and then the gifts of those nights. And then one of those nights houses a night Subhan Allah that gives us the proposition of

00:11:18--> 00:12:04

living the lifespans of prophets like new Haile he Salam without having to live the stress of this world for living hundreds and 1000s of years. One night better than 83 years not equal to 83 years better than 83 years. Allah He My Dear Brothers and Sisters in Islam, just one year of our life, how stressful is it? And as we get to the end, and the day of camera, how stressful has life become? Imagine if we had to build the general for 1000 years by living 1000 years on earth? What predicament would we be? Allah brings us these last 10 to help us build the agenda spanning 1000s of years, but living only 60 to 70 years, and even 10 to 15 years of the 60 to 70 you forgiven anyway,

00:12:04--> 00:12:06

because you have reached the age of puberty.

00:12:07--> 00:12:21

This is the month of Ramadan. And this is the mercy of our Lord. Yes, Ramadan is generous, and it is the month of mercy. But let's not forget the absolutely perpetual one that Rahman Rahim Allah subhana who favored us

00:12:22--> 00:12:41

and brought to us the month of Ramadan BarakAllahu li Walakum Villa Hain one of whenever anyone here can be heard the sad Sakhalin look at cool tumor called What's the hula halau the machete lady welcome.

Takala Ebert Allah with taco Yeoman to Geralyn Fe il Allah for me to have cool Luna FC maca Sabbath. Hula is the naman are servants of Allah. No children of Adam, our month as it is Kareem. It is also the month of Tekoa and Taqwa is ultimately the objective of Ramadan. And why would it not be the objective? Well, Ramadan only once for us, Jana and Toccoa is the key to Jannah you see, oh servants of Allah in Surah two there yet Allah tells us why Mohawk theologian, Noah Lin's Lima, the Ilia boon that you are not created except to worship Allah. But if you ask the question of servant of Allah, that he or Allah, You created me to worship you. I am intrigued. I have a question. Why Allah, you

00:14:15--> 00:14:56

are perfect from ever you are perfect forever. My worship doesn't increase your majesty, my sin does not decrease your majesty. Why do I have to worship you? Ya Allah? Allah answers that question in Surah Baqarah Yeah, you have Nasser Abu Bakr Mala, the Halacha whom will lead in amicably cool, Polycom, Lala contacto. Here Are you a nurse or mankind worship your Lord and Lady Holika come the One who created you and the one who created those before you Why Allah Allah contact Akun so that you may benefit yourself so that you may create a barrier between you and the hellfire. And through that you will receive a key to enter your paradise, a paradise that Allah created

00:14:57--> 00:14:59

for those who he created the righteous for

00:15:00--> 00:15:30

on them, because Allah is just, this is ultimately the objective of Ramadan La La Quinta de con, la la quinta de con. And this is what Ramadan pushes us to with every obligation that it brings upon us and not just the obligations but also the recommendations, fasting for taco stand the night for Toccoa. Read the Quran for Taco, be charitable for Taco, and so on and so forth. It's for taco and what will make you understand the reality of a taco May Allah subhanho wa Taala help us with a taco?

00:15:32--> 00:15:34

You see my brothers and sisters in Islam?

00:15:35--> 00:15:41

If you read the Quran, how many times will you find Allah subhanho wa Taala mentioning fasting?

00:15:43--> 00:15:46

How many times will you find Allah subhanho wa Taala mentioning Ramadan?

00:15:48--> 00:15:52

But how many times do you find Allah subhanho wa Taala mentioning taco?

00:15:54--> 00:15:57

When do we repeat something? When we speak to our children?

00:15:58--> 00:16:40

We repeat an instruction that they know that we know that they know that we know they haven't forgotten but we feel within us a need to keep repeating it. If they have the GCSEs we tell them make sure you study. Have you studied? Are you sure you studied? Let me check your work. Have you done your studies properly? We keep on talking about Steady, steady, steady, steady, steady. Why? Because it's important because it's important. Allah repeats taco more times and he repeats fasting more times. Then he repeats Ramadan. You see my brothers and sisters in Islam. When their Bhavana is coming naturally as human beings we feel trepidation. And Allah reveals to us the presence of this

00:16:40--> 00:16:50

trepidation in incense because when he revealed the verses of fasting he said fast but he didn't leave it like that. He said Come equity by the lady and amicably competences from the mercy of the court.

00:16:51--> 00:17:06

That when you hear you have too fast you might Subhanallah feel this trepidation leave my food leave my drink what will happen to me? Allah is merciful He revealed to come up with the ballerina macabre calm don't panic. It was revealed to people before you they will humans like you and they managed

00:17:08--> 00:17:40

we naturally feel being hungry is hot. We naturally feel having less sleep is hot. And people say this Allah the sleep it's less I have to work I have to school I have to fasting but our servant of Allah the Quran is telling you Oh servant of Allah and no child of Adam. Ramadan is not hard. Fasting is not hard to acquire his heart. That's why it's repeating taco taco taco taco taco. And as part of your objectives for this month of Ramadan to achieve taco I want to leave you with four action points. I know our time is short.

00:17:41--> 00:17:48

But I want to get time with you again unless and until the last 10 Because I do travel May Allah bring me safely to you and preserve us all in his obedience me.

00:17:50--> 00:18:27

To aid our journey towards taqwa in this month I leave you with four action points. Number one are servants of Allah. pm will lay Salah to lay Do not waste the night and ensure you are part and parcel of the sun. If you can't make it to the gym and stand yourself and pray. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam prayed by himself in the Sahaba gathered for the first night and the gathering got bigger for the second night and then it got bigger than he didn't come out. sallallahu alayhi wasallam and they were waiting for him. He prayed by himself and lift them to pray by themselves. And when they asked him he said, I fear that Allah will make this compulsory upon you

00:18:27--> 00:18:41

and it will become a matter that you won't manage. This is from the mercy of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam because it was beautiful. To see people coming together to worship Allah throughout the night and we know the prayer of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was wrong in one raka Baqarah

00:18:42--> 00:18:48

and Alma Ada and Nisa and Al Imran in one raka in that order, La ilaha illa.

00:18:51--> 00:18:52

Do not waste the prayer of the night.

00:18:54--> 00:19:32

And if we look into the books are fake, we don't see any difference of opinion regarding Salah to lay Ramadan being a part of Ramadan who are among Musallam This is the words of the fuqaha it is a matter that is agreed upon Nobody argues this matter, that what they discuss in the books of faith is which is better to pray the first half of the night or the last half of the night. This is what they discuss, and omaree will have probably Allah who and when he gathered the Ummah, behind the Babe and cab for the stairway that we perform. He smiled at seeing the Muslims together praying, and he said those who are praying this is good. And those who pray in the last third, this is better.

00:19:33--> 00:19:59

This is what the football had discuss. So do not miss the night prayer. Prepare for it. Prepare your heart for it, prepare your mind for it do not become affected that the Imam he took extra two seconds in his Ruko and he's to do it. He pulled the mud here and they wouldn't be here. Don't let this be your mandate for Allah who you are upon here. And where you are is better than what you need to go to. And wherever you need to go to the Allah who you worshiping in pMLN is going to help you

00:20:00--> 00:20:01

that matter that you need to get to.

00:20:02--> 00:20:46

So look after the night prayer servant of Allah. Number two, recite the Quran and as much as you can the pious before us they used to keep the eyes pee on the Quran stuck to the Quran, they will not peel the eyes away from the Quran in Ramadan. Imam Shafi used to read 60 completions in Ramadan, two completions a day Subhanallah the eyes were peeled to the book of Allah subhanahu atoll because it's not only the month of fasting, it is the month of Al Quran. For every letter you get to Hassan and the Hassan is equal to 10 and this is a season of worship, where your 10 will be multiplied even more you reading in Ramadan is better than you read outside of Ramadan and you might not get another

00:20:46--> 00:20:54

Ramadan we are here on a journey to Allah the one who looks after Ramadan is the one who knows that they are on a journey to Allah not a journey to the dahlia.

00:20:56--> 00:21:19

So look after your relationship with the Quran. Number three look after your CF protect your fast the pious before us used to practice lumen Masjid. Yes the last time they would stay the whole time in the masjid. But before that even they would try and be in the masjid for as much as they could. Why? The Masjid there's no trading in the masjid.

00:21:20--> 00:21:56

There's no speaking about worldly affairs in the masjid through that they would protect this so yeah that they never engage in a discussion that might be borderline of EVA Subhanallah might be borderline lying Subhan Allah, the Prophet sal Allahu Allah he was setting him said whoever does not leave false speech and is equivalent and Allah is not in need of you leaving your food and your drink. Remember the objective of your past is taqwa. Why is the taqwa when you lying and gossiping and backbiting. They will do lumen masjid, they would come and spend as much time in the masjid. Why? Because the masjid is away from Vice. It's a place surrounded by Malay look after your CM. Be

00:21:56--> 00:22:22

conscious about your fast be conscious people might say you're a bit extreme you getting up and leaving a gathering where they might be borderline riba let them be saying what they want about you. You love them but you love Allah more. Yeah, you love them but you love Allah more. If you have to choose between your fast and someone choose your fast look after your faster servant of Allah. Number three, number four a sadaqa Oh ALLAH will be Shakti tomorrow.

00:22:23--> 00:22:31

Be charitable with your wealth. We saw in Surah Baqarah what Allah said when we marzipan commune fugu and being connected to the people of Toccoa and the people of Fela,

00:22:32--> 00:23:13

being charitable and when Allah talks about a Salah, he talks about Zika or Aki Musala to Allah to Zika we had this in the first night as well established a pray and give you a Zika be charitable worship Allah with your charity, the pious before us, they would spend and I'm not talking about Zika this whole idea of Zika being connected to Ramadan is a later phenomenon. The books are fake never discuss Zika in Ramadan. In fact, the fuqaha the scholars of Islamic jurisprudence when they discuss Zika they speak about it being a part of Muharram or a part of the six month of the year. North Ramadan the pious before us used to give the hack of the poor to the poor and the needy and

00:23:13--> 00:23:55

the recipients of Zika before Ramadan so they could busy Ramadan was Sadoc Subhanallah today, we keep our caravan it's allowed. But then even when it's to be charitable, we only think within the borders of Zika if I have Zika I will give if I don't have a cow Allah it's too hard for me. Ramadan is Kareem, where is your curry? Ramadan is Kareem. Where's your Karim? Where's your talk Quran Allah was the other worship of the heart. Allah is calling you to countless avenues to trade with Allah and you are choosing the dunya over Allah in a month that Allah has brought to you to teach you to choose the Agora over the dunya so be charitable and the best all the acts of charity. The Masjid is

00:23:55--> 00:24:17

trying to raise funds for the extension. They're looking for a a group of people to raise an amount of money. This is part and parcel of the month and one of the greatest acts under control Jerry and building House of Allah on earth for Allah to build you a house in Jana, the wife of your own us Allah are biblically in the community and religion. Allah mentioned in the Quran, that Allah build for me a house with you in general.

00:24:18--> 00:24:27

And the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said whoever facilitates the masjid Allah will facilitate for them a house in Jannah all types of sadaqa but particularly feeding,

00:24:28--> 00:24:53

feeding and again sadaqa not Zeca Yes, it's a car is the right of the recipient but these poor people who you can feed what sadaqa as well. The seller used to focus on feeding because of the Hadith manfaat perasaan Imam cannula who means to do actually that the one who feeds the fasting person will get the reward of the fast without Allah reducing the reward of the one who fasted but the cell after Sahaba before us they wouldn't focus only on those who are fasting the poor people in general.

00:24:55--> 00:24:59

So fear the hellfire, even if it's with a portion of a dating site, give what you can

00:25:00--> 00:25:38

Even if it is a small amount and don't feel it's a small amount, it has no value for Allah He. It's not about the small amount. It's about the taco from the small amount. It's not about the small amount. It's about the greatness of the one who the amount is for me Allah subhanho wa Taala accept what has passed of our month and bless what remains. I mean, you're blind I mean, may Allah accept our beginning and make our end stronger than our beginning. I mean, you but Allah in Allah hamara Combi Eminem Qaddafi bnmc within the Phoebe Mala ecotel Quran for Allah to Allah code and Crema in Allahu wa Mala Iike who you Soluna Allah Nabi, here you have Latina Musala he was selling with
