00:00:56 -->
00:00:56
Alright.
00:01:39 -->
00:01:41
Alright. Let us begin.
00:02:25 -->
00:02:27
In the name of Allah, may the peace
00:02:27 -->
00:02:28
and blessing of Allah
00:02:28 -->
00:02:30
be upon his final messenger, Mohammed
00:02:31 -->
00:02:31
Sallallahu
00:02:32 -->
00:02:34
Alaihi Salam, his companions, and all those who
00:02:34 -->
00:02:36
follow him until the day of judgment.
00:02:38 -->
00:02:40
Alhamdulillah, we are
00:02:41 -->
00:02:43
we we are in this blessed 1st week
00:02:43 -->
00:02:44
of Ramadan.
00:02:45 -->
00:02:46
And
00:02:47 -->
00:02:47
as,
00:02:49 -->
00:02:51
as a review, as a as a way
00:02:51 -->
00:02:52
of refining
00:02:53 -->
00:02:54
ourselves and
00:02:55 -->
00:02:57
rectifying our affairs,
00:02:57 -->
00:02:59
it's always good
00:02:59 -->
00:03:00
to review
00:03:02 -->
00:03:04
previous learned knowledge.
00:03:05 -->
00:03:07
But in in in light of
00:03:08 -->
00:03:09
the wisdom
00:03:10 -->
00:03:11
and the teachings
00:03:12 -->
00:03:12
of our
00:03:13 -->
00:03:14
of our scholars.
00:03:16 -->
00:03:16
So
00:03:18 -->
00:03:19
we have
00:03:19 -->
00:03:21
a beautiful text
00:03:21 -->
00:03:23
that we're going to cover
00:03:25 -->
00:03:27
I pray that Allah makes it beneficial for
00:03:27 -->
00:03:28
all of us.
00:03:29 -->
00:03:30
And may Allah
00:03:31 -->
00:03:32
make it a means of nearness
00:03:33 -->
00:03:34
to him.
00:03:37 -->
00:03:38
So the text is
00:03:40 -->
00:03:41
the text is
00:04:01 -->
00:04:03
And we we let's got it right into
00:04:03 -->
00:04:04
the subject
00:04:04 -->
00:04:05
but you can search
00:04:06 -->
00:04:07
for his biography.
00:04:10 -->
00:04:11
He begins with
00:04:11 -->
00:04:12
Muhammad
00:04:22 -->
00:04:25
Muhammad. So may may all present due to
00:04:25 -->
00:04:27
Allah. May the peace and blessing of Allah
00:04:27 -->
00:04:28
be upon his final messenger.
00:04:31 -->
00:04:32
And may
00:04:33 -->
00:04:35
and he says, call us a sheikh al

00:04:48
Ibn Zakir al-'ayed,
00:04:50 -->
00:04:52
coined him as Sultan Al Ulema.
00:04:56 -->
00:04:57
His name
00:05:00 -->
00:05:01
is is the dean
00:05:02 -->
00:05:02
Abu Mohammed
00:05:03 -->
00:05:04
Abdulaziz,
00:05:05 -->
00:05:07
ibn Abdus Salam,
00:05:09 -->
00:05:10
ibn Abi Qasim
00:05:11 -->
00:05:13
Abi Luqasim as Soleami
00:05:14 -->
00:05:15
as Shafi'i.
00:05:18 -->
00:05:21
So he was his well, his complete name
00:05:21 -->
00:05:22
is Alaihizuddin
00:05:23 -->
00:05:24
Izzaddin
00:05:24 -->
00:05:25
Abu Mohammed
00:05:26 -->
00:05:26
Abdulaziz
00:05:27 -->
00:05:28
ibn Abdulsalam.
00:05:29 -->
00:05:29
Ibn
00:05:30 -->
00:05:31
Abu Qasim.
00:05:32 -->
00:05:33
As Salami
00:05:34 -->
00:05:34
Ashaafiri.
00:05:36 -->
00:05:37
It was,
00:05:38 -->
00:05:39
in.
00:05:41 -->
00:05:42
The book of fasting
00:05:43 -->
00:05:44
or.
00:05:47 -->
00:05:50
He categorized this book in in in
00:05:50 -->
00:05:51
in 10:10
00:05:51 -->
00:05:51
chapters,
00:05:54 -->
00:05:57
which today will cover 2 small chapters.
00:05:57 -->
00:05:59
One of them is,
00:06:03 -->
00:06:04
the legislation
00:06:04 -->
00:06:05
of
00:06:05 -->
00:06:06
fasting.
00:06:09 -->
00:06:12
And in the legislation of fasting and when
00:06:12 -->
00:06:12
we cover
00:06:13 -->
00:06:14
a chapter of,
00:06:15 -->
00:06:15
we
00:06:16 -->
00:06:17
we tend to look at it
00:06:18 -->
00:06:19
in in a way of
00:06:20 -->
00:06:21
what is the
00:06:23 -->
00:06:24
or the from
00:06:25 -->
00:06:25
the
00:06:26 -->
00:06:28
Quran, and what is the
00:06:28 -->
00:06:31
and the Dalil from the sunnah
00:06:32 -->
00:06:34
and etcetera etcetera, or the
00:06:35 -->
00:06:37
or the riyas, etcetera.
00:06:40 -->
00:06:42
So first, let's look at what Allah subhanahu
00:06:42 -->
00:06:43
wa ta'ala says in the Quran. So the
00:06:43 -->
00:06:47
Dalil from the Quran is aya 183 of
00:06:47 -->
00:06:48
Surat Al Baqarah.
00:07:02 -->
00:07:02
Allah
00:07:03 -->
00:07:04
says, oh, you who believe,
00:07:05 -->
00:07:07
fasting has been prescribed for you
00:07:08 -->
00:07:10
like it was prescribed to those before you
00:07:11 -->
00:07:12
so that perhaps
00:07:12 -->
00:07:14
you can attain
00:07:14 -->
00:07:15
taqwa.
00:07:15 -->
00:07:16
Alayzab
00:07:18 -->
00:07:19
ibn Abdi Salaam said,
00:07:20 -->
00:07:22
who the meaning of it is
00:07:22 -->
00:07:24
that perhaps you can attain
00:07:25 -->
00:07:25
protection.
00:07:27 -->
00:07:27
Protection
00:07:28 -->
00:07:30
from by this fast,
00:07:31 -->
00:07:34
you can attain protection from the hellfire.
00:07:38 -->
00:07:38
The fasting
00:07:39 -->
00:07:41
is a shield. It's a means
00:07:41 -->
00:07:42
is a means
00:07:43 -->
00:07:44
of also
00:07:47 -->
00:07:48
forgiveness, attaining forgiveness
00:07:49 -->
00:07:50
from our sins.
00:07:51 -->
00:07:53
Right? And if you are
00:07:55 -->
00:07:57
purified from your sins,
00:07:57 -->
00:08:00
there's a higher possibility that you can attain
00:08:01 -->
00:08:01
paradise
00:08:02 -->
00:08:04
and not be admitted
00:08:04 -->
00:08:05
to the hellfire.
00:08:07 -->
00:08:08
In the
00:08:09 -->
00:08:10
2 authentic narrations,
00:08:10 -->
00:08:11
in the 2,
00:08:12 -->
00:08:13
authentic collections,
00:08:14 -->
00:08:14
Sahihin
00:08:14 -->
00:08:16
Bukhari and Muslim,
00:08:16 -->
00:08:18
it was written under authority of
00:08:19 -->
00:08:21
Abdullah bin Umar and
00:08:21 -->
00:08:21
the
00:08:23 -->
00:08:27
author, Rahmadul Ali, didn't put the narrator.
00:08:28 -->
00:08:30
So it is the hadith of Abdullah bin
00:08:30 -->
00:08:30
Umar,
00:08:31 -->
00:08:31
and
00:08:33 -->
00:08:35
then Ravi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam called that the
00:08:35 -->
00:08:37
messenger of Allah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said,
00:08:51 -->
00:08:53
So he says that the that the prophet
00:08:54 -->
00:08:54
said
00:08:55 -->
00:08:57
Islam is built on 5.
00:08:58 -->
00:09:00
The testimony that there's no god worthy of
00:09:00 -->
00:09:01
worship except Allah.
00:09:02 -->
00:09:03
The testimony
00:09:04 -->
00:09:06
that there is no god worthy of worship
00:09:07 -->
00:09:08
except Allah.
00:09:09 -->
00:09:09
And
00:09:16 -->
00:09:18
so so this is
00:09:18 -->
00:09:19
and also
00:09:23 -->
00:09:25
in in in in in one
00:09:25 -->
00:09:28
in in in in some narrations, it says,
00:09:35 -->
00:09:36
Right?
00:09:38 -->
00:09:39
And some says
00:09:41 -->
00:09:42
Right? But it is implied.
00:09:43 -->
00:09:45
And this is to worship Allah
00:09:46 -->
00:09:47
to worship Allah
00:09:48 -->
00:09:51
and this and reject all
00:09:51 -->
00:09:52
idols.
00:09:58 -->
00:09:59
Idols. And to reject
00:10:00 -->
00:10:03
and and and to reject anything besides
00:10:11 -->
00:10:13
So in it in this narration, he didn't
00:10:13 -->
00:10:14
put
00:10:16 -->
00:10:17
Muhammad Rasula.
00:10:17 -->
00:10:18
But instead, that narration,
00:10:19 -->
00:10:22
right, the narration of authentic narration,
00:10:23 -->
00:10:25
it says, to worship Allah and don't associate
00:10:26 -->
00:10:27
partners with him.
00:10:27 -->
00:10:31
To establish prayer, to pay Zakat, to to
00:10:31 -->
00:10:33
do Hajj, and to fasten Ramadan.
00:10:34 -->
00:10:35
But there's various narrations.
00:10:36 -->
00:10:37
If you look at
00:10:37 -->
00:10:40
Sahih Muslim, Imam Muslim puts
00:10:40 -->
00:10:42
all the, several variations
00:10:43 -->
00:10:44
of these
00:10:45 -->
00:10:45
hadith,
00:10:46 -->
00:10:48
which which which help.
00:10:49 -->
00:10:50
Next is
00:10:52 -->
00:10:54
so if you hear a a a different
00:10:56 -->
00:10:57
or a different
00:10:57 -->
00:10:58
wording,
00:11:00 -->
00:11:01
don't inject it
00:11:03 -->
00:11:04
immediately
00:11:05 -->
00:11:06
because of your
00:11:06 -->
00:11:07
preconceived
00:11:08 -->
00:11:11
knowledge. Right? Don't don't just right away say,
00:11:11 -->
00:11:12
oh, this is wrong.
00:11:13 -->
00:11:13
Right?
00:11:15 -->
00:11:18
But think about that. There might be a
00:11:18 -->
00:11:20
possibility that there is a different
00:11:20 -->
00:11:22
form or a different
00:11:22 -->
00:11:24
because of a a different narrator
00:11:26 -->
00:11:28
compiled it in a certain way or heard
00:11:28 -->
00:11:30
it in a certain way.
00:11:30 -->
00:11:31
So
00:11:32 -->
00:11:34
it's this is just trying to increase
00:11:35 -->
00:11:36
our knowledge.
00:11:39 -->
00:11:41
Next the next chapter is
00:11:44 -->
00:11:45
the the favor
00:11:46 -->
00:11:47
or the virtue
00:11:49 -->
00:11:49
of
00:11:50 -->
00:11:50
Ramadan,
00:11:51 -->
00:11:51
fasting
00:11:53 -->
00:11:55
and the benefits of fasting.
00:11:57 -->
00:11:59
For fasting, there are some benefits.
00:12:00 -->
00:12:00
And
00:12:03 -->
00:12:05
put 7 benefits in this chapter,
00:12:06 -->
00:12:07
and that would be it.
00:12:13 -->
00:12:15
To raise in your ranks
00:12:15 -->
00:12:16
with Allah
00:12:27 -->
00:12:28
to expiate
00:12:29 -->
00:12:30
one's minor sense.
00:12:37 -->
00:12:38
And to
00:12:38 -->
00:12:39
tame
00:12:40 -->
00:12:41
and control
00:12:42 -->
00:12:42
one's
00:12:43 -->
00:12:44
desires.
00:12:48 -->
00:12:49
And to increase
00:12:50 -->
00:12:51
to increase one's
00:12:53 -->
00:12:53
charity.
00:12:56 -->
00:12:57
What
00:12:58 -->
00:13:01
and to engage in so many different
00:13:02 -->
00:13:03
acts of worship.
00:13:11 -->
00:13:12
And to be grateful
00:13:12 -->
00:13:13
to the knower
00:13:14 -->
00:13:15
of the unseen,
00:13:17 -->
00:13:18
to be grateful,
00:13:19 -->
00:13:20
to show gratitude
00:13:20 -->
00:13:23
to the knower of the unseen.
00:13:26 -->
00:13:27
Well, in
00:13:33 -->
00:13:33
And
00:13:35 -->
00:13:35
to
00:13:37 -->
00:13:39
protect yourself from
00:13:39 -->
00:13:40
those actions
00:13:41 -->
00:13:41
of
00:13:43 -->
00:13:43
disobedience.
00:13:46 -->
00:13:47
So Aloisib
00:13:50 -->
00:13:52
explained each one of these points.
00:14:12 -->
00:14:14
So it says when Ramadan
00:14:15 -->
00:14:15
arrives,
00:14:16 -->
00:14:19
the gates of paradise are open,
00:14:19 -->
00:14:22
the gates of the hellfire are closed,
00:14:22 -->
00:14:23
and the shayateens
00:14:24 -->
00:14:25
are chained up.
00:14:27 -->
00:14:28
Now
00:14:33 -->
00:14:34
When when he says
00:14:35 -->
00:14:37
there is another narration
00:14:39 -->
00:14:40
that, we will
00:14:41 -->
00:14:43
explain this. And went a different route,
00:14:44 -->
00:14:46
share other narrations, and then he explains.
00:14:48 -->
00:14:49
Another narration says that
00:14:51 -->
00:14:52
in a hadith that
00:14:52 -->
00:14:53
Allah says,
00:15:01 -->
00:15:04
verily all the actions of the children of
00:15:04 -->
00:15:06
Adam are for him,
00:15:07 -->
00:15:10
or the son of Adam are for him,
00:15:12 -->
00:15:15
except for fasting as I reward for it.
00:15:16 -->
00:15:17
Then the prophet said,
00:15:21 -->
00:15:21
or
00:15:24 -->
00:15:25
So here,
00:15:26 -->
00:15:27
the prophet
00:15:27 -->
00:15:30
continues saying, if any of you fast,
00:15:32 -->
00:15:33
then he should not engage in
00:15:34 -->
00:15:36
in in decent talk.
00:15:36 -->
00:15:38
He should not engage in fighting.
00:15:39 -->
00:15:42
He should not curse one another or fight
00:15:42 -->
00:15:42
one another.
00:15:43 -->
00:15:46
And if someone fights him while fasting, he
00:15:46 -->
00:15:47
shall say,
00:15:51 -->
00:15:53
I am fasting.
00:15:53 -->
00:15:54
Or
00:15:55 -->
00:15:56
I am fasting.
00:15:58 -->
00:16:00
The prophet said,
00:16:04 -->
00:16:05
and he who has
00:16:05 -->
00:16:06
the soul of
00:16:07 -->
00:16:07
Mohammed
00:16:08 -->
00:16:09
under his grasp.
00:16:19 -->
00:16:20
The breath
00:16:20 -->
00:16:22
of the fasting person.
00:16:27 -->
00:16:28
It is more beloved
00:16:29 -->
00:16:31
with Allah on the day of judgment.
00:16:34 -->
00:16:36
Than the than the smell of musk.
00:16:37 -->
00:16:38
And then the prophet said,
00:16:55 -->
00:16:55
It says,
00:16:57 -->
00:16:59
if for the fastened person, there's 2 moments
00:16:59 -->
00:17:00
of joy.
00:17:01 -->
00:17:01
1
00:17:02 -->
00:17:04
is when he breaks his fast,
00:17:04 -->
00:17:06
and this breaks his fast
00:17:07 -->
00:17:08
has two meanings.
00:17:08 -->
00:17:11
1, daily breaking of the fast gives the
00:17:11 -->
00:17:13
fasting person that joy.
00:17:14 -->
00:17:15
Another meaning is
00:17:16 -->
00:17:18
that the breaking of the fast is
00:17:20 -->
00:17:21
the day of
00:17:22 -->
00:17:25
conclusion or completion of the of the fasting
00:17:25 -->
00:17:27
of the month of Ramadan. So that's 1.
00:17:28 -->
00:17:31
The second point is that the second moment
00:17:31 -->
00:17:34
of joy is when the servant meets Allah,
00:17:36 -->
00:17:39
and he or she has in their account
00:17:39 -->
00:17:40
that they fasted
00:17:41 -->
00:17:42
for Allah
00:17:46 -->
00:17:46
The prophet
00:17:47 -->
00:17:49
said that in another narration,
00:17:52 -->
00:17:53
Adam
00:17:55 -->
00:17:57
Yudaf. All the actions of the children of
00:17:57 -->
00:17:58
Adam are multiplied.
00:18:07 -->
00:18:08
Al Hasana
00:18:09 -->
00:18:09
1
00:18:11 -->
00:18:13
is multiplied by 10 to 700.
00:18:21 -->
00:18:22
Except fasting.
00:18:22 -->
00:18:25
For fasting is for me, Allah says.
00:18:26 -->
00:18:29
Fasting is for me and I reward for
00:18:29 -->
00:18:29
it.
00:18:31 -->
00:18:32
And Allah says,
00:18:38 -->
00:18:41
My servant abandons his desires and his food
00:18:41 -->
00:18:43
for my sake.
00:18:49 -->
00:18:52
In Jannah, there is a Bab. You
00:18:52 -->
00:18:53
call.
00:18:54 -->
00:18:55
It is called.
00:18:58 -->
00:19:00
And through this door will answer
00:19:01 -->
00:19:01
the,
00:19:03 -->
00:19:04
those who fast.
00:19:05 -->
00:19:08
And no one else would answer except those
00:19:08 -->
00:19:09
who fasted.
00:19:13 -->
00:19:13
Also,
00:19:14 -->
00:19:15
when it says
00:19:26 -->
00:19:28
The person fasting
00:19:29 -->
00:19:31
who host someone for iftar
00:19:33 -->
00:19:35
is blessed with the it says, you
00:19:37 -->
00:19:37
to
00:19:39 -->
00:19:42
The angels pray upon him. What does that
00:19:42 -->
00:19:44
mean? They pray in the house.
00:19:44 -->
00:19:47
What it means is that from the moment
00:19:47 -->
00:19:49
you are hosting someone for iftar,
00:19:52 -->
00:19:54
the angels are making du'a for you
00:19:55 -->
00:19:57
from the moment you host
00:19:58 -->
00:19:58
someone
00:19:59 -->
00:20:00
for iftar.
00:20:00 -->
00:20:02
And this hosting does that
00:20:03 -->
00:20:05
does not have to be in your house.
00:20:06 -->
00:20:08
It could be in a restaurant. It could
00:20:08 -->
00:20:09
be outside in a park.
00:20:11 -->
00:20:12
Whatever is convenient,
00:20:13 -->
00:20:14
but it's offering
00:20:15 -->
00:20:15
the food,
00:20:16 -->
00:20:17
offering the iftar.
00:20:20 -->
00:20:22
What now we go back to the Hadith,
00:20:22 -->
00:20:23
the the Ramadan
00:20:29 -->
00:20:31
Ramadan The openings of the doors of paradise.
00:20:35 -->
00:20:37
The reason why it says the opening of
00:20:37 -->
00:20:40
the doors of the doors of paradise are
00:20:40 -->
00:20:40
open.
00:20:41 -->
00:20:43
What does that mean? What it means is
00:20:44 -->
00:20:45
that
00:20:46 -->
00:20:48
what it means is
00:20:48 -->
00:20:50
that due to the increase
00:20:52 -->
00:20:53
of your
00:20:54 -->
00:20:55
of your acts of obedience,
00:20:59 -->
00:21:00
then Allah opens
00:21:01 -->
00:21:01
the
00:21:02 -->
00:21:03
these acts of obedience
00:21:05 -->
00:21:06
put you in the path
00:21:07 -->
00:21:08
or in the way
00:21:09 -->
00:21:10
in the way
00:21:11 -->
00:21:11
towards
00:21:12 -->
00:21:13
paradise.
00:21:13 -->
00:21:15
So there's a higher possibility
00:21:16 -->
00:21:17
that you will be blessed
00:21:18 -->
00:21:18
with
00:21:20 -->
00:21:20
entering
00:21:21 -->
00:21:21
paradise.
00:21:25 -->
00:21:27
And the closing of the doors
00:21:27 -->
00:21:28
of
00:21:28 -->
00:21:29
the
00:21:29 -->
00:21:30
fire.
00:21:31 -->
00:21:32
Because of the
00:21:33 -->
00:21:34
the the the the
00:21:37 -->
00:21:38
your minimizing
00:21:38 -->
00:21:39
of your sins
00:21:43 -->
00:21:45
makes it obligatory
00:21:45 -->
00:21:46
for the doors
00:21:46 -->
00:21:48
of hellfire to be closed
00:21:49 -->
00:21:50
from you because you don't deserve
00:21:50 -->
00:21:51
to
00:21:51 -->
00:21:55
go there. Because you're obedient to Allah. Because
00:21:55 -->
00:21:56
you're making an effort.
00:21:58 -->
00:22:00
You don't deserve to go
00:22:01 -->
00:22:02
to the hellfire
00:22:03 -->
00:22:05
because you're making an effort, and you're preventing
00:22:06 -->
00:22:06
yourself
00:22:07 -->
00:22:07
from acts
00:22:08 -->
00:22:09
of disobedience.
00:22:09 -->
00:22:11
And brothers and sisters, this is taqwa.
00:22:12 -->
00:22:15
This is taqwa. Taqwa leads to that.
00:22:16 -->
00:22:17
Leads to paradise.
00:22:18 -->
00:22:19
Protects you from the fire.
00:22:20 -->
00:22:21
And
00:22:21 -->
00:22:22
the main objective,
00:22:23 -->
00:22:24
of fasting.
00:22:27 -->
00:22:29
Alright? So it it is a round a
00:22:29 -->
00:22:31
round circle. Right? It goes back.
00:22:32 -->
00:22:33
When it says
00:22:43 -->
00:22:43
means
00:22:44 -->
00:22:45
that
00:22:45 -->
00:22:48
due to your obedience to Allah
00:22:49 -->
00:22:52
and due to your abstaining from this obedience
00:22:52 -->
00:22:53
to Allah,
00:22:55 -->
00:22:57
it cuts the paths
00:23:00 -->
00:23:01
that lead
00:23:02 -->
00:23:03
to shaitan
00:23:04 -->
00:23:05
affecting you.
00:23:08 -->
00:23:09
The fastened person
00:23:10 -->
00:23:11
is protected.
00:23:15 -->
00:23:16
Is protected.
00:23:19 -->
00:23:20
And
00:23:21 -->
00:23:24
because the fasted person is not eating, you
00:23:24 -->
00:23:26
know, sometimes we eat and we forget to
00:23:26 -->
00:23:27
say bismillah.
00:23:27 -->
00:23:28
And the prophet
00:23:28 -->
00:23:30
said, well, you don't say Bismillah, Shaitan eats
00:23:30 -->
00:23:33
with you. When you enter your house and
00:23:33 -->
00:23:36
you don't say Bismillah, Shaitan answers with you.
00:23:36 -->
00:23:36
Right?
00:23:37 -->
00:23:39
And, everything that we engage
00:23:40 -->
00:23:41
that we engage in.
00:23:41 -->
00:23:43
And that's why the scholars, they
00:23:44 -->
00:23:45
even though the hadith
00:23:46 -->
00:23:47
has some weakness to it,
00:23:48 -->
00:23:50
the scholars, they apply that that
00:23:51 -->
00:23:53
the the the the meaning of the Hadith
00:23:53 -->
00:23:54
that anything,
00:23:56 -->
00:23:58
any action that you engage in,
00:23:59 -->
00:23:59
devoid
00:24:01 -->
00:24:01
of saying
00:24:02 -->
00:24:02
Bismillah
00:24:04 -->
00:24:05
is deficient
00:24:06 -->
00:24:06
of Baraka,
00:24:08 -->
00:24:08
is deficient
00:24:09 -->
00:24:10
of blessings.
00:24:11 -->
00:24:13
So make sure
00:24:14 -->
00:24:14
that you
00:24:15 -->
00:24:16
say
00:24:20 -->
00:24:21
That you
00:24:21 -->
00:24:23
say when you begin something
00:24:24 -->
00:24:25
and that you are accustomed yourself
00:24:26 -->
00:24:27
to saying
00:24:33 -->
00:24:34
When
00:24:35 -->
00:24:36
when Allah
00:24:39 -->
00:24:39
says,
00:24:43 -->
00:24:44
I reward for it.
00:24:45 -->
00:24:45
I reward
00:24:47 -->
00:24:47
for
00:24:49 -->
00:24:50
it. I reward
00:24:50 -->
00:24:52
for all the dedication,
00:24:53 -->
00:24:54
all the efforts.
00:24:55 -->
00:24:58
I will take care of my servant.
00:25:04 -->
00:25:05
A song
00:25:06 -->
00:25:07
is a shield.
00:25:12 -->
00:25:12
And
00:25:13 -->
00:25:14
is the root word of
00:25:16 -->
00:25:17
taqwa.
00:25:19 -->
00:25:19
Taqwa.
00:25:25 -->
00:25:25
Protection,
00:25:25 -->
00:25:26
a shield
00:25:27 -->
00:25:27
from
00:25:28 -->
00:25:29
the punishment
00:25:29 -->
00:25:30
of Allah
00:25:32 -->
00:25:33
When the prophet
00:25:33 -->
00:25:34
said
00:25:35 -->
00:25:37
the servant of Allah should abandon
00:25:39 -->
00:25:39
Arafath,
00:25:41 -->
00:25:42
meaning Kalam Fahish,
00:25:43 -->
00:25:44
indecent
00:25:44 -->
00:25:45
talk.
00:25:49 -->
00:25:51
Like fighting with others. Right?
00:25:52 -->
00:25:55
And and and if he has fought against,
00:25:56 -->
00:25:57
he remembers.
00:25:57 -->
00:25:58
He reminds himself
00:25:59 -->
00:26:00
not to react
00:26:00 -->
00:26:03
and lose his fast. But he says he
00:26:03 -->
00:26:03
says,
00:26:04 -->
00:26:05
I'm fasting.
00:26:07 -->
00:26:08
I am fasting.
00:26:14 -->
00:26:15
When
00:26:15 -->
00:26:16
Elizabeth
00:26:16 -->
00:26:17
Al Des Salam.
00:26:20 -->
00:26:21
When he's talking about
00:26:21 -->
00:26:22
the breath
00:26:23 -->
00:26:25
of the fasting person.
00:26:27 -->
00:26:28
He says,
00:26:43 -->
00:26:44
And in and in this,
00:26:45 -->
00:26:46
there is
00:26:47 -->
00:26:48
there is something
00:26:49 -->
00:26:50
that is
00:26:50 -->
00:26:51
hidden meaning.
00:26:54 -->
00:26:55
And what he,
00:26:55 -->
00:26:57
derived from it,
00:27:06 -->
00:27:07
meaning the reward
00:27:10 -->
00:27:10
the reward
00:27:11 -->
00:27:13
for the breath
00:27:13 -->
00:27:15
of the fasting person.
00:27:17 -->
00:27:17
Right?
00:27:19 -->
00:27:19
The breath
00:27:21 -->
00:27:21
is
00:27:21 -->
00:27:22
is
00:27:23 -->
00:27:25
is the effects of your fasting.
00:27:27 -->
00:27:29
The reward of that effect
00:27:31 -->
00:27:33
is better with Allah
00:27:35 -->
00:27:36
than
00:27:37 -->
00:27:37
the
00:27:38 -->
00:27:40
is better with Allah than the the the
00:27:40 -->
00:27:42
the smell of of of musk.
00:27:48 -->
00:27:50
When when it mentions Farhadan
00:27:51 -->
00:27:51
Farhadan,
00:27:52 -->
00:27:54
2 moments of joy,
00:27:56 -->
00:27:57
one moment
00:27:57 -->
00:27:57
is
00:28:00 -->
00:28:03
completion of the fast, whether daily or monthly
00:28:04 -->
00:28:05
of worship.
00:28:08 -->
00:28:11
And the second is meeting Allah.
00:28:13 -->
00:28:14
When it says the
00:28:18 -->
00:28:21
that when Allah says, and my servant leaves
00:28:23 -->
00:28:23
his desires,
00:28:24 -->
00:28:26
food for my sake.
00:28:27 -->
00:28:29
And this is the effect of
00:28:30 -->
00:28:33
obedience to Allah. Obedience to the Lord. This
00:28:33 -->
00:28:34
is how
00:28:34 -->
00:28:36
we teach our
00:28:37 -->
00:28:38
our souls self restraint.
00:28:41 -->
00:28:43
Even though one might have desires,
00:28:44 -->
00:28:45
one controls it,
00:28:46 -->
00:28:47
and one overcomes
00:28:48 -->
00:28:49
his
00:28:49 -->
00:28:50
desires.
00:28:51 -->
00:28:51
So Allah
00:28:52 -->
00:28:54
will reward him
00:28:54 -->
00:28:55
generously.
00:28:58 -->
00:28:58
Allah
00:29:00 -->
00:29:02
will reward him generously
00:29:03 -->
00:29:04
for his sacrifice
00:29:05 -->
00:29:06
and for his effort
00:29:07 -->
00:29:07
to overcome
00:29:10 -->
00:29:10
his own
00:29:11 -->
00:29:11
weaknesses
00:29:12 -->
00:29:13
and desires and
00:29:14 -->
00:29:15
and wants.
00:29:15 -->
00:29:16
Right?
00:29:22 -->
00:29:23
When
00:29:30 -->
00:29:31
Just a moment. Let me cancel.
00:29:32 -->
00:29:33
The next is
00:29:36 -->
00:29:37
the next is
00:29:41 -->
00:29:43
ask for the purification of sins.
00:29:46 -->
00:29:48
The messenger of Allah. And every time I
00:29:48 -->
00:29:49
say
00:29:50 -->
00:29:50
you should say
00:29:52 -->
00:29:54
because there is a narration
00:29:54 -->
00:29:56
that cautions us.
00:29:58 -->
00:29:59
And this narration
00:30:00 -->
00:30:00
states
00:30:01 -->
00:30:02
that when the prophet goes up to the
00:30:02 -->
00:30:03
mimbar,
00:30:04 -->
00:30:05
he says, Amin.
00:30:06 -->
00:30:06
Amin.
00:30:07 -->
00:30:08
Amin.
00:30:08 -->
00:30:10
And one of those Amin,
00:30:11 -->
00:30:12
the angel said,
00:30:15 -->
00:30:16
such and such
00:30:18 -->
00:30:18
neglected
00:30:19 -->
00:30:20
saying
00:30:23 -->
00:30:25
may he be doomed.
00:30:27 -->
00:30:28
May he be
00:30:28 -->
00:30:29
devoid
00:30:30 -->
00:30:31
of gaining benefit.
00:30:33 -->
00:30:34
And Jibril
00:30:35 -->
00:30:36
says to Rasoulas,
00:30:40 -->
00:30:41
say.
00:30:44 -->
00:30:44
And the prophet
00:30:45 -->
00:30:46
says Amin.
00:30:46 -->
00:30:47
So do not
00:30:47 -->
00:30:48
wrong yourself
00:30:49 -->
00:30:50
by neglecting,
00:30:50 -->
00:30:51
sending salawats
00:30:53 -->
00:30:55
upon our beloved prophet Muhammad
00:30:55 -->
00:30:56
Sallallahu
00:30:57 -->
00:30:58
Alaihi Wasallam.
00:31:02 -->
00:31:04
So in the hadith about
00:31:05 -->
00:31:06
purification of sins,
00:31:08 -->
00:31:10
that another benefit of fasting,
00:31:11 -->
00:31:12
purification of sins,
00:31:13 -->
00:31:14
and this is minor sins.
00:31:14 -->
00:31:15
Okay.
00:31:16 -->
00:31:17
Major sins
00:31:18 -->
00:31:19
necessitate
00:31:22 -->
00:31:23
again.
00:31:24 -->
00:31:25
Forgiveness
00:31:27 -->
00:31:29
for minor sins, that's fine.
00:31:33 -->
00:31:34
Right?
00:31:34 -->
00:31:35
But major sins
00:31:36 -->
00:31:36
require
00:31:39 -->
00:31:39
repentance.
00:31:41 -->
00:31:42
The prophet
00:31:43 -->
00:31:43
said,
00:31:44 -->
00:31:44
Ramadan,
00:31:52 -->
00:31:52
Ramadan.
00:32:02 -->
00:32:02
Ramadan
00:32:03 -->
00:32:03
from Ramadan
00:32:04 -->
00:32:05
to another Ramadan
00:32:07 -->
00:32:08
or from a Ramadan,
00:32:08 -->
00:32:10
Ramadan to another Ramadan
00:32:12 -->
00:32:14
is purifications of sins.
00:32:15 -->
00:32:18
Alright? From one Ramadan to another Ramadan.
00:32:18 -->
00:32:20
From last year's Ramadan
00:32:22 -->
00:32:24
to this year's Ramadan,
00:32:24 -->
00:32:26
this year's Ramadan is expiration for what happened
00:32:27 -->
00:32:28
between
00:32:29 -->
00:32:30
the other Ramadan.
00:32:32 -->
00:32:36
So Ramadan, fasting Ramadan is expiation of my
00:32:36 -->
00:32:37
minor sins.
00:32:39 -->
00:32:40
If the person
00:32:41 -->
00:32:42
when the person avoids
00:32:43 -->
00:32:44
major sins,
00:32:46 -->
00:32:47
major sense.
00:33:06 -->
00:33:08
Whoever fasten Ramadan
00:33:08 -->
00:33:10
with iman and hope Allah
00:33:12 -->
00:33:13
will forgive them their
00:33:19 -->
00:33:20
sins.
00:33:20 -->
00:33:22
Also, so here, imanen
00:33:22 -->
00:33:23
with faith.
00:33:24 -->
00:33:24
Having
00:33:26 -->
00:33:26
the hope
00:33:28 -->
00:33:29
and the confidence
00:33:30 -->
00:33:32
in the reward with Allah.
00:33:32 -->
00:33:34
Having the hope and confidence
00:33:35 -->
00:33:36
in Allah's promise
00:33:37 -->
00:33:39
that I don't doubt Allah's promise.
00:33:39 -->
00:33:40
Right? That I believe.
00:33:54 -->
00:33:55
Hunger and thirst
00:33:57 -->
00:33:57
tame
00:33:59 -->
00:33:59
the desires,
00:34:01 -->
00:34:03
the the the sinful desires.
00:34:06 -->
00:34:07
The prophet
00:34:07 -->
00:34:07
said,
00:34:18 -->
00:34:19
Oh, young
00:34:21 -->
00:34:21
men
00:34:23 -->
00:34:25
at the age of marriage
00:34:26 -->
00:34:28
were able to get married.
00:34:30 -->
00:34:31
Whoever is
00:34:34 -->
00:34:36
able, Now whoever desires and is unable.
00:34:42 -->
00:34:44
Right? Whoever is able, then she'll get married.
00:34:50 -->
00:34:52
Because it helps you
00:34:52 -->
00:34:53
tame
00:34:54 -->
00:34:55
your eyes.
00:34:56 -->
00:34:59
Now I wanna I wanna pause one one
00:34:59 -->
00:35:00
moment. Right?
00:35:03 -->
00:35:05
It helps you tame your tame your eyes.
00:35:09 -->
00:35:10
When one is married,
00:35:13 -->
00:35:14
one should seek
00:35:16 -->
00:35:17
to learn
00:35:18 -->
00:35:20
and seek to try
00:35:22 -->
00:35:23
to gain
00:35:24 -->
00:35:24
full
00:35:25 -->
00:35:26
satisfaction
00:35:26 -->
00:35:27
from that relationship,
00:35:32 -->
00:35:33
that your desires
00:35:34 -->
00:35:35
are are quenched,
00:35:37 -->
00:35:38
right,
00:35:38 -->
00:35:39
to the point
00:35:40 -->
00:35:42
that your eyes
00:35:44 -->
00:35:48
are not wandering around looking at everything that
00:35:48 -->
00:35:48
moves.
00:35:49 -->
00:35:51
But you're so pleased
00:35:52 -->
00:35:53
and so content
00:35:54 -->
00:35:55
and so satisfied
00:35:56 -->
00:35:57
with your spouse
00:35:59 -->
00:35:59
that
00:36:00 -->
00:36:01
you don't need to look nowhere else.
00:36:02 -->
00:36:03
So the prophet
00:36:04 -->
00:36:04
said
00:36:11 -->
00:36:14
It is a great tool for
00:36:15 -->
00:36:16
the garden of one's eyes.
00:36:23 -->
00:36:25
And it preserves one's chasten.
00:36:31 -->
00:36:33
Whoever's not able to get married, then he
00:36:33 -->
00:36:34
should fast.
00:36:51 -->
00:36:52
So
00:36:56 -->
00:36:57
this is
00:37:00 -->
00:37:01
some is a a protection, basically.
00:37:02 -->
00:37:04
It shields you from that.
00:37:08 -->
00:37:09
And
00:37:13 -->
00:37:14
is
00:37:36 -->
00:37:36
Basically,
00:37:36 -->
00:37:39
is is is controlling one
00:37:39 -->
00:37:40
one's desires.
00:37:45 -->
00:37:46
Right?
00:37:47 -->
00:37:49
Controlling one's desires.
00:37:52 -->
00:37:52
And
00:37:54 -->
00:37:56
there's another hadith that says
00:38:17 -->
00:38:18
in
00:38:18 -->
00:38:20
the children in the son of Adam
00:38:22 -->
00:38:26
like the blood run streams through his body.
00:38:29 -->
00:38:30
Okay.
00:38:32 -->
00:38:34
So when a person is fasting,
00:38:36 -->
00:38:37
it's a little weaker.
00:38:40 -->
00:38:41
He controls himself,
00:38:43 -->
00:38:45
has more self control of himself.
00:38:47 -->
00:38:48
The next one is
00:38:51 -->
00:38:52
increasing of.
00:38:53 -->
00:38:54
The person fasting.
00:38:56 -->
00:38:57
The person is fasting.
00:38:58 -->
00:38:59
And
00:39:00 -->
00:39:01
when he
00:39:03 -->
00:39:04
gives
00:39:04 -->
00:39:07
a date or water to someone,
00:39:08 -->
00:39:10
he gets the reward for that fast.
00:39:12 -->
00:39:14
He has opportunities to give charity to feed
00:39:14 -->
00:39:15
the needy.
00:39:16 -->
00:39:16
Right?
00:39:17 -->
00:39:18
He becomes less wasteful,
00:39:19 -->
00:39:20
more responsible.
00:39:21 -->
00:39:22
Right?
00:39:22 -->
00:39:24
So this is important for us to
00:39:25 -->
00:39:25
to keep
00:39:26 -->
00:39:27
it in mind.
00:39:32 -->
00:39:35
There was a there was a beautiful saying
00:39:35 -->
00:39:35
that says,
00:40:00 -->
00:40:02
So there's a narration that says that prophet
00:40:02 -->
00:40:03
or
00:40:04 -->
00:40:05
Yusuf alaihi salaam,
00:40:06 -->
00:40:09
When they used to fast, they didn't break
00:40:09 -->
00:40:11
their fast until everyone
00:40:11 -->
00:40:13
under their authority,
00:40:13 -->
00:40:14
8.
00:40:15 -->
00:40:17
Because they did not want to
00:40:18 -->
00:40:19
risk,
00:40:21 -->
00:40:22
they feared
00:40:24 -->
00:40:26
he said one of the prophets said,
00:40:28 -->
00:40:31
I feared satisfying myself.
00:40:33 -->
00:40:33
While
00:40:34 -->
00:40:36
one of my,
00:40:38 -->
00:40:40
companions is
00:40:41 -->
00:40:41
hunting.
00:40:48 -->
00:40:50
The the next is what the
00:40:51 -->
00:40:53
the increase of of obedience.
00:40:55 -->
00:40:57
The increase of obedience that we know.
00:40:59 -->
00:40:59
Quran,
00:41:00 -->
00:41:01
fasting,
00:41:02 -->
00:41:03
dhikr,
00:41:05 -->
00:41:08
giving salaams to Muslims in the Masjid, so
00:41:09 -->
00:41:10
many blessings.
00:41:10 -->
00:41:11
Right?
00:41:13 -->
00:41:14
And then
00:41:17 -->
00:41:18
and this is,
00:41:19 -->
00:41:20
when a person fast.
00:41:23 -->
00:41:24
When Allah mentions
00:41:27 -->
00:41:28
so that you can be grateful.
00:41:30 -->
00:41:30
Right?
00:41:31 -->
00:41:32
And
00:41:33 -->
00:41:35
we fast in the month of Ramadan,
00:41:36 -->
00:41:38
and we're grateful for the

00:41:42

00:41:42 -->
00:41:42

00:41:43 -->
00:41:45
and we're grateful for the Quran,
00:41:46 -->
00:41:49
and we're grateful for the Muslim community.
00:41:50 -->
00:41:51
We are grateful
00:41:53 -->
00:41:54

00:41:56 -->
00:41:58
We are grateful for our scholars.
00:41:59 -->
00:42:00
We are grateful
00:42:00 -->
00:42:01

00:42:03 -->
00:42:04
We are grateful
00:42:06 -->
00:42:07
for their guidance.
00:42:08 -->
00:42:09
Excuse me.
00:42:10 -->
00:42:11
For the guidance of Islam
00:42:13 -->
00:42:15
that helps us regulate and navigate
00:42:16 -->
00:42:17
through all of our
00:42:18 -->
00:42:19
affairs.
00:42:20 -->
00:42:21
The guide
00:42:22 -->
00:42:22
Islam
00:42:23 -->
00:42:24
is the guide
00:42:24 -->
00:42:26
to all of our affairs,
00:42:27 -->
00:42:30
And the Quran is the main source.
00:42:33 -->
00:42:35
And the example of the prophet
00:42:36 -->
00:42:37
helps us
00:42:37 -->
00:42:39
understand the revelation of the Quran.
00:42:42 -->
00:42:44
So we show gratitude to
00:42:46 -->
00:42:46
Allah.
00:42:48 -->
00:42:49

00:44:35 -->
00:44:36
May
00:44:36 -->
00:44:38
accept that. I wanna take a moment. I
00:44:38 -->
00:44:39
wanna take a moment.
00:44:40 -->
00:44:43
Yesterday morning, I went to visit a brother.
00:44:44 -->
00:44:46
A brother native from
00:44:46 -->
00:44:46
Pennsylvania
00:44:48 -->
00:44:50
who converted to Islam maybe, like, 10 years
00:44:50 -->
00:44:51
ago.
00:44:53 -->
00:44:54
And
00:44:54 -->
00:44:56
I was informed that he is at the
00:44:56 -->
00:44:57
brink of death.
00:44:58 -->
00:45:01
He was conscious, though, but but they're gonna
00:45:01 -->
00:45:02
remove the medication
00:45:03 -->
00:45:04
because there's no
00:45:05 -->
00:45:06
there's no, improvements.
00:45:07 -->
00:45:09
And this brother,
00:45:09 -->
00:45:10
his name is Sean.
00:45:13 -->
00:45:15
He requested for a Muslim prayer,
00:45:16 -->
00:45:18
and most of his family is not Muslim.
00:45:21 -->
00:45:22
They honored the request,
00:45:23 -->
00:45:24
and I went to visit
00:45:25 -->
00:45:27
and read some Quran to him and pray
00:45:27 -->
00:45:28
for him.
00:45:29 -->
00:45:30
So I ask you to in this time
00:45:30 -->
00:45:31
that you're fasting,
00:45:32 -->
00:45:34
make dua for brother Sean.
00:45:36 -->
00:45:38
Makes this transition
00:45:38 -->
00:45:38
easy,
00:45:39 -->
00:45:40
and may Allah
00:45:41 -->
00:45:42
raise them up
00:45:43 -->
00:45:44
with the prophets.
00:45:45 -->
00:45:45
May
00:45:46 -->
00:45:47
Allah grant them comfort.
00:45:48 -->
00:45:49
May Allah
00:45:50 -->
00:45:50
accept
00:45:50 -->
00:45:52
accept the shahada
00:45:53 -->
00:45:54
and accept
00:45:55 -->
00:45:56
his request,
00:45:57 -->
00:45:59
which is a which which makes us a
00:45:59 -->
00:46:01
witness of his iman,
00:46:02 -->
00:46:03
his request
00:46:03 -->
00:46:04
for a Muslim
00:46:05 -->
00:46:05
prayer.
