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.
