			Our prophet Muhammad
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:25
			said that when Ramadan comes,
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:29
			the gates of paradise are wide open
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:31
			and the gates of the fire
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:33
			are sealed shut
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:34
			and the the
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:36
			devils are chained.
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:39
			Notice here the prophet
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:42
			didn't said they did not say
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:46
			means open but the prophet
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:47
			said
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:50
			which is the intense form of the verb.
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:53
			So the gates of paradise are not just
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:56
			open but they are wide open.
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:58
			And the gates of the fire are not
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:01
			just closed, but they are sealed shut.
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:04
			So we have the intense form. And then
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:05
			the prophet
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:06
			said that the
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:07
			are chained.
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:10
			Now one may ask a question that if
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:13
			the the devils and the are chained,
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:15
			why is there still evil in the world?
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:18
			Why do we still sometimes have evil thoughts?
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:21
			Why do people still have a temper? Why
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:24
			is there still still and envy in Ramadan?
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:26
			Why do we still see these things?
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:28
			And before we answer that question,
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:31
			there's a principle
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:34
			that is important to clarify that is,
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:37
			which is revelation.
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:38
			And we have,
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:41
			which is the reality that we see, we
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:43
			witness, and we experiment.
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:46
			These two realities never contradict each other. So,
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:48
			revelation will never contradict
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:49
			reality.
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:53
			And revelation will never have an internal contradiction.
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:54
			So, an ayah from the Quran
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:57
			will never contradict an ayah from the Quran.
		
00:01:58 --> 00:01:59
			And the ayah from the Quran will never
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:02
			contradict the hadith of the prophet Muhammad and
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:04
			and vice versa.
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:07
			And the ayah and the Quran will never
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:10
			contradict reality and reality will never contradict
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:12
			the
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:14
			or of the Quran or Hadith because both
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:15
			of them
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:17
			come from Allah subhanahu, and so Allah subhanahu
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:19
			does not contradict himself.
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:21
			And so, a
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:23
			giant, a scholar
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:25
			of the 3rd century said,
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:35
			He said whoever thinks that there is 2
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:35
			texts
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:38
			that contradict each other,
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:40
			then let them come to me.
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:42
			I will show him how they are to
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:42
			be reconciled.
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:46
			So sometimes we see this contradiction or what's
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:47
			apparently contradicting,
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:50
			it's simply because we're looking at it from
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:50
			only
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:52
			perspective or one angle.
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:53
			So
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:55
			if the are chained, how is it possible
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:57
			that we have evil on this earth in
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:58
			the month of Ramadan?
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:01
			And there's two answers to that. One,
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:03
			the hadith of prophet
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:06
			clarifies it further. In another hadith, he talks
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:09
			about a certain category of who are chained.
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:09
			He says.
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:13
			The are the major.
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:16
			So those are the ones that are chained,
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:17
			which meaning you have
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:20
			some of the minor ones running around.
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:22
			And, number 2, even if we were to
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:23
			say that all the are
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:24
			chained,
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:26
			it doesn't mean that all their evil ends,
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:29
			because if someone's chained, he can still scream,
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:31
			he can still rattle the chains, he can
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:34
			still communicate, he can still cause some mischief.
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:36
			So it doesn't mean all evil,
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:38
			is eradicated.
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:39
			And so we ask Allah subhanahu this month
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:42
			of Ramadan where we can when the major,
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:46
			of the devils and the shayat are chained,
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:49
			enable us to benefit from that huge blocker
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:52
			of good so that we can, acquire the
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:54
			good and train ourselves in this month.
