Shakiel Humayun – Islam and Difficulties

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.
