00:00:00--> 00:00:02

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

Wa Rahmatuhu Wa Barakat.

00:04:33--> 00:04:34

Wa Rahmatuhu Wa Barakat.
