			My dear brothers and sisters in Islam, SubhanAllah,
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:03
			SubhanAllah,
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:06
			can we ever feel burnt out when we
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:08
			have a Lord that is so generous and
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:10
			so caring? And he gives us opportunity
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:12
			upon opportunity
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:15
			to build not just Jannah, but an amazing
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:17
			one. We're not even talking about getting there
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:19
			because inshallah, we shall get there when we
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:21
			have a lord that is kareem. We just
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:23
			need to act. Don't look at the last
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:25
			2 weeks, but look forward to the next
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:28
			2 weeks. Don't feel burned out, but rather
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:30
			be ready to burn him.
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:32
			Alhamdulillah wa salaamu
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:36
			ala rasulillahu alaalihi wa sahabihi wamanu Allah. We
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:38
			begin in the name of Allah Subhanahu Wa
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:40
			Ta'ala and we request praises and blessings upon
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:41
			Rasulullah
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:44
			My dearest brothers and sisters in Islam, welcome
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:47
			to our Ramadan series and episode 15.
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:49
			La Illaha illallah.
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:51
			Our month has
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:51
			passed
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:55
			its halfway point or it's at its halfway
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:57
			point. And as we speak, going beyond its
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:59
			halfway point. My dear brothers and sisters in
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:01
			Islam, remember what I said to you at
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:02
			the beginning of Ramadan?
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:04
			It crept up upon us suddenly
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:07
			and it's going to leave us suddenly. SubhanAllah.
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:10
			So what can the message for today's reminder
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:12
			be? No doubt.
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:14
			It has to be about
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:15
			our actions
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:16
			will be judged
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:19
			based on the strength of the endings
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:21
			and not the weakness
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:22
			and flaws
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:25
			and slips of its beginning.
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:27
			And it has to be this, my dear
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:29
			brothers and sisters in Islam, because Ramadan is
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:29
			generous.
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:31
			And it is a generous month sent by
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:34
			Al Kareem, Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, who is
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:35
			the ultimately,
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:36
			perpetually
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:40
			generous one. And from His generosity upon us,
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:40
			is that Allah
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:44
			will reward us based on the strength of
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:47
			our endings, not the weaknesses of our beginnings.
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:52
			Actions are judged by the endings, meaning the
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:53
			strength of the ending.
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:55
			So at this point, my dear brothers and
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:56
			sisters in Islam, I don't want you to
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:58
			burn out. I don't want you to feel
		
00:01:58 --> 00:01:59
			burned out. I want you to bring yourself
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:02
			together. And I want you to be renewed
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:04
			in terms of your aspirations. And I want
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:07
			you to chase what remains from Ramadan with
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:11
			all of you in your entire
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:14
			capacity. And let us ensure that everything we
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:16
			do entails a grab.
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:19
			A grab. That we grab from the outstretched
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:21
			hands of Ramadan to the best of our
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:24
			ability. And ensure that we go from strength
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:26
			to strength as we get into the last
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:28
			ten of Ramadan and then from strength to
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:29
			strength as we get to the day of
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:30
			Eid
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:32
			so that our endings are stronger than our
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:35
			beginnings. And Allah will reward us based on
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:37
			the strongest of our access from the mercy
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:40
			of Allah SubhanAllah. And it doesn't end there.
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:43
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala has even more generosity
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:46
			in how he rewards us. Because if our
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:48
			ending is stronger than our beginning, Allah will
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:50
			take our best tarawih,
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:53
			our best fast, our best sadaqah,
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:56
			our best recitation of the Quran, our best
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:56
			ibadah,
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:58
			our best engagement,
		
00:02:58 --> 00:02:59
			the rewards
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:01
			that were the best out of all those
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:04
			categories of worship. And he will
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:07
			not distribute those rewards across all the acts
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:09
			that happened during the month of Ramadan
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:11
			but He will apply those rewards
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:13
			to every act
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:16
			done during the month of Ramadan. So your
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:18
			best taraweeh, the rewards that you get from
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:20
			it, Allah will reward every taraweeh in Ramadan
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:23
			with those rewards. Your best recitation of the
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:25
			Quran, Allah will reward it in the best
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:26
			way and he will take those rewards and
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:28
			apply it across all your recitations of the
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:30
			Quran across Ramadan.
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:32
			The best fast that you did, Allah subhanahu
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:34
			wa ta'ala will reward it in the best
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:36
			way. And then at the end of Ramadan,
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:38
			if our endings are stronger than our beginnings,
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:40
			he will take those rewards, that level of
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:42
			reward, and apply it to every fast in
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:44
			Ramadan. Ramadan. He is not going to distribute
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:46
			the rewards of the best fast across
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:49
			the other fasts, but rather apply the same
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:51
			reward system to the best
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:52
			to all,
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:55
			those acts of worship from the same genre
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:58
			of Ibadah across the month of Ramadan. My
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:00
			dear brothers and sisters in Islam, subhanallah,
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:01
			subhanallah,
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:04
			can we ever feel burnt out when we
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:06
			have a Lord that is so generous and
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:08
			so Kareem, and he gives us opportunity
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:10
			upon opportunity
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:13
			to build not just Jannah, but an amazing
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:15
			one. We're not even talking about getting there
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:17
			because Inshallah, we shall get there when we
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:19
			have a Lord that is Kareem. We just
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:21
			need to act. So my message to you,
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:23
			my dear brother and sister in Islam,
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:25
			is don't look at the last 2 weeks,
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:27
			but look forward to the next 2 weeks.
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:30
			Don't feel burned out, but rather be ready
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:31
			to burn in. I love you all for
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:33
			the sake of Allah. And until next time,
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:34
			Assalamu Alaikum.
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:36
			Wa Rahmatuhu Wa Barakat.
