I'm gonna take my vacations in Ramadan,
and
I have to make it up before the
next Ramadan, I know. And so,
December comes before Ramadan, next Ramadan. December is
a nice short days, 4:30.
So I'll make it up in December.
Is that okay? Can I do that? This
is very important. It's the intention. If this
is like premeditated,
sidestepping the Sharia,
then you lose all the
means Allah gives you specific
permission
and ease. But if someone premeditates
that to side step a commandment of Allah,
then they lose
that license and that permission. So if I
premeditate let me see now. I'm going to
travel in Ramadan so I can make it
up later. I lose the opportunity. Right? I'm
playing games with Allah. Right? This is the
fiqh of shaitan. Right? That's how shaitan works.
Right? So that,
is canceled. Just like
if someone
travels
when we travel, can we, like, shorten our
salah and combine our prayers?
Yes. This is a, like the sister mentioned.
Right? So this is
an ease that's made for us. Right?
But if I am traveling
to meet the drug cartel
and do a nice deal with them
because Florida is pretty close to
South America.
Can I go and say I make in
German, make my
my
shorten my prayers and join my prayers? Can
I do that?
No. If my travel is for a sin,
then I lose all the I lose all
the
ease and the permissibility for that. So it
depends on the intention and also depends on
what what I'm doing and why I'm doing
it. It shouldn't be for
for
for sin. And vice versa. For example,
sleep. Is sleep an act of worship? When
you sleep are you worshiping Allah? Imagine you're
sleeping for
6, 7, 8 hours. Right? Some people sleep,
I don't know, 12 hours, but Mashallah, you
know.
All those hours is written for you that
you worshiped Allah. What are some ways you
can make your sleep into worship of Allah?
One,
you intend with your sleep that you want
to get rest and energy so when you
get up in the morning, you can serve
Allah Subhanah. That's one. Your sleep becomes worship.
Another way is
if you end
your day and go to sleep upon worship,
your sleep becomes worship. Like you say the,
the last 2
before sleeping. You're worshiping Allah and you go
to sleep. Your sleep
gets counted as an act of obedience.
And so what happens in the night of
Ramadan? We're praying.
That's an amazing time to have that.
You go home, and that's the last act
of worship you did, last thing you did
for your day, and you go to sleep
to get some rest. You you're qualifying
your sleep
for being an act of worship of 6,
7, 8, 10 hours in shaw.
