Shadee Elmasry – 8 Sunnas of Fasting

Let's now look at the gunas. Now the first son is one of the

greatest centers and that is so and so who is something that the

Prophet SAW Selim established as a mercy for the believer, it was

really established by Allah in the Quran as a mercy to the believers

because the original day of fasting was

from Asia, you had to stop eating all the way to the next nugget,

right. So you had to fast a lot more than what we fast then people

were fainting and then Allah came down with the dispensation that we

may eat all the way up till the first light and that's the

blessing of Odessa hood, basically getting up 3040 minutes maybe an

hour before fetch and you're having a pre Dawn meal

and it is also recommended that a person stop before about 15

minutes before fed so that they can do some prayer some a bad and

this is a lost son a really people eating rights of a last minute,

this is not good. There's there's something called M sack which

means to withhold from eating. Alright, when do we withhold from

eating we withhold from eating, but like is it 1520 Is the profit

I said in a hadith, the time it would really take you to read 50

is of Quran it's been maybe 1015 minutes, right? So there for you

can take advantage of the Doha. Right, you want to spend this 30

amazing days of acceptance of dua. Now, if you're up at this hour,

which we call the tahajjud. The Sahara the last, Sahara is the

time the last slice of night before the day, the first light.

That time period is so sacred year round for the acceptance of

prayers. It's multiplied now in the month of Ramadan. Okay, so you

can imagine so why waste that? eating so much and then

risking maybe eating into the time for fetch, right? So that's a

problem. So you don't want to go there. So observe in SEC in in

your school.

Secondly, the dot before breaking the fast this is a gift another

sacred gift that Allah has given us. If I was to give you, you

know, gift card, Amazon gift card as a present, and I see you

sort of just like you forgot it at the masjid. Right? And I'm like,

Hey, bro, you forgot that gift I gave you.

Not really a big deal. How offensive is that? Allah has given

you a gift. He's he's accepting your prayers at Soho, and then

right before breaking the fest. So respect this gift, take it

seriously. And think and contemplate well in advance. What

is it that you're going to say in those periods of time? When you

have an audience in front of a king, you you rehearse you ask you

ask the ministers What do I say? What is he like? Right What words

could I say that make him happy make him pleased. So likewise,

there are certain things you have prayer for your parents prayer for

the week Muslims prayer for religious guidance. Allah loves

these things. Then when you have asked those, you've like softens

the mat your path now you can ask for what your your heart desires.

Okay? Because there's what your mind knows is good, and what your

heart wants, the two things are different. Right? Your heart knows

that we should be asking for do out for people who are more in

need of us and for our own religious guidance. Allah loves

this and we should mix Allah and His messenger now our heart truly

desires something else. So we must put first what our mind knows is

right and then what our heart seeks and desires

Tada, we there's a whole slide on that but today we his just any

amount of extra prayers after Aisha counts as total That's the

summary of it and the prophesy seven said Whoever prays Tada we

the entire month. His sins are forgiven.

Yeah, ticket cap. There's also another slide on that attic F is

wealth when you're fasting in Ramadan or outside of Ramadan, you

go to a masjid, really for any period of the night but preferably

from Maghrib on one day before moving on one day until you get up

the next day. To do some attic that's attic F and the best of

attic F is the last 10 nights now I know that you know we're

recording this in 2021 and there's the COVID situation so probably no

masajid will be open for attic F but nonetheless, in the future

they will be in the law. And this is where we'll cover how to do

attic F in a later slide. But that's it. That's a summary of

what attic F is it's not resting at home at nighttime, when most

people you know eating sitting with their husband or wife Okay,

and relaxing and recharging. But no antic F is now spending all

that night in the mosque. And even if you spend a little bit portion

of the night, as long as you, you know, the last part of the night

until fetcher, you still have caught it. But nonetheless, the

common practice is from McGraw Hill, that one day, that's all

negative the next day, that's one day. And the best of all, attic F

is the all the last 10 minutes.

Not delaying breaking the fast. So this is the one sooner that

everyone is very good at when Moghadam comes in, that we break

our fast. Now I'm going to tell you one thing about these apps

that we utilize, I am telling you and I have been told many, many,

many times. They're not always right. So I would wait five

minutes from when the app tells me that motherhood is in. I always

add five minutes, I always tell my kids we're adding five minutes and

that way we're 100% Sure, because I think the MR the error is not

going to be more than five minutes, the percent error.

The margin of error I should say.

Seeking les little calculator to cover is an amazing night the

prophets I sent him said the sign of Les little cutter is that

the US wake up the next morning and the sky is completely clear.

And the sun comes up without rays. So when the sun rises, like a

complete circle, like a perfect circle, right? There no rays on

it. When the sun rises, then it's a cut. That is one of the things

that Allah has hid. And he's hid it in one of the nights of

Ramadan. And then he narrowed it down for us the last 10 Nights.

Now to down for us even more. The odd days of the last two nights

are the odd nights, I should say, of the last 10 and then some

people have really hoped that it's the 27th. So if we are going to

take advantage of it, we're really going to take advantage of all the

last 10 Nights, okay? Because sometimes our even day is another

City's odd day. Right? Because back in the olden days, you could

be in Damascus in the beginning of Ramadan. And you started on with

on Monday. Well, in the middle of Ramadan, you traveled, let's say

to Jerusalem, there were there weren't phones back in the day you

go to Jerusalem. Well, they started the fest on Tuesday. So

the odds nights are different for both groups. So for us, smarter,

take advantage Alta

giving life to the night of eat. So this is something that many

people don't realize that there are four sacred nights in which

dua is accepted. They are in the middle of Shabbat and mystery

Shaban late, it's a cousin and the two nights of eight. These nights,

some worship between Phaedra and Aisha and dua before Fajr on these

nights is extremely special. You can't imagine how special okay the

DUA in them is accepted. Right when we say accepted we mean

accepting,

full confidence that Allah accepts those doors.
