			Salam aleikum Warahmatullah wabarakatuh Bismillah Alhamdulillah wa salatu salam ala Rasulillah he
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam or abstractly suddenly your silly MTU lock that a millisecond you have
tahu Kohli Subhanak li Milena Elana Al and tenor in NACA until Ali will Hakeem welcome my brothers
and sisters in Islam to this very special episode of our program expecting the best from Allah
subhanaw taala a reflective session where we can look back at what we have learned so far, and
evaluate our lives evaluate our actions so far, have we applied anything from what we've learned?
Because I have received very interesting and encouraging messages from so many people hamdulillah
		
00:00:52 --> 00:01:38
			happy with the content, wanted more, can't wait to see the next episode and the like May Allah
subhanaw taala forgive us all. And may Allah subhanaw taala accept from everyone behind this work I
mean, blasphemy. But before we move for forward before we introduce more episodes of that nature
which are coming in sha Allah Allah your way, we need to pause for a bit and ask ourselves are we on
the right track? are we applying to the best of our ability whatever we have learned so far, or are
we just information gatherers because even during the month of Ramadan our desires may overpower us
and prevent us from doing that which is right I'll leave nobody thought about the Allah Allah told
		
00:01:38 --> 00:02:22
			us in naughty bowel how're your suit Donnell Hawk following wants desires prevent you from following
the truth. Either you follow your desires or the truth revealed by Allah subhanaw taala for in
teabag how your soul bond and Hawk were in nautical ml uncle era and those who delay the Toba delay
the repentance or wait for too long again and again thinking that Allah subhanaw taala maybe we'll
give them a chance and so on so forth. Those who live with such an attitude Subhan Allah, Allah the
they tend to forget the Hereafter. This is what Ali in Abby thought had mentioned, and we all fall
short, or we all fall into that trap. So may Allah subhanaw taala protect us. So this session is
		
00:02:22 --> 00:03:08
			intended to remind ourselves of our purpose in this life in sha Allah, Allah Allah to self evaluate
or reflect over our behavior so far in Ramadan and see if we need to do better if we can maintain
the same pace and so on and so forth. Because Allah subhanaw taala told us in the Quran, yeah, you
are Latina M and Taco law. Well, Tombow, Neff summer academic level, we'll talk law in law, have
your own dinner time alone, all you who believe Allah subhanaw taala is addressing the believers
here it talks to Allah, fear Allah subhanaw taala be conscious of Allah subhanaw taala Don't be just
a Muslim or a movement because Ramadan is a popular month for the Muslim so you worship Allah
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:51
			subhanaw taala only in Ramadan after that you forget as if you're worshiping actually Ramadan and
not Allah subhanaw taala The Lord of the entire universe will tumble Neff summer pandemic level and
let every individual look what they have brought for tomorrow. What are they doing now that will
benefit them in the future or will harm them? Either Jana or hellfire? What is what toquilla again?
Allah subhanaw taala is telling us be conscious of Allah subhanaw taala in the Lucha hobby room Bina
Tamil Allah subhanaw taala is fully aware of what you do in Ramadan or outside Ramadan So may Allah
subhanaw taala grant is that hard, where we can sit with ourselves every day or every now and then
		
00:03:51 --> 00:04:35
			and reflect evaluate ourselves evaluate evaluate our lives, evaluate our actions and try to either
filter those bad activities and do better or maybe reach out for help if we are addicted to some
activities and the light in Charlotte Allah have you tips during this session in Charlotte I hope
that it will be of benefit for you to expect always the best from Allah subhanaw taala because in
order for us to expect the best from Allah, we need to be always in contact in touch with Allah
subhanaw taala and the first tip I have for you today inshallah This is my reflection. So I'll read
it for you is something called maraca self monitoring. You are in charge of your life, you are in
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:59
			charge of your own action. Don't blame shaitan here, don't blame shaitan if you slip, don't blame
the outside world. Yes, they may be are impactful on your behaviors. That's true. The influence
sometimes is very, very difficult to cope with. But at the end of the day, you will be questioned
about your choices and your actions.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:15
			So how can we do more Acaba is to immediately run to Allah subhanaw taala and prolong our sudo and
the best time of the year Ramadan that we are living in today Hamdu lillahi rabbil aalameen who
enabled us to live until this moment?
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:59
			We pray five times a day but on top of that the Sunnah prayers now we shouldn't neglect because
according to one ERATION even though some people say it's a week narration but an optional action in
the month of Ramadan is equivalent in your reward to a whole full obligatory deed so don't miss out
these blessings in these opportunities in sha Allah Allah Allah pray the Sunnah prayers, but also we
have clear Malay the head June you know the night prayer Subhan Allah Allah alim, the best of all
prayers after the obligatory according to the Prophet Muhammad Salah lies and when you hit the
ground when you when you not literally when you prostrate when you go down to Allah subhanaw taala.
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:49
			submitting yourself in action and saying Subhan Allah, Allah, Glory be to Allah subhanaw taala the
highest, the most high, then pour your heart to Allah subhanaw taala now pause here and ask Allah
for what you want. Make Yanni big Allah subhanaw taala in dua, if you are in in countries where
Subhanallah entertaining business is at its peak during the month of Ramadan. So we bombard people
with TV series with music videos with concerts and TV shows and pranks and whatnot. And as excited
as it may sound, I call it Ramadan thieves. Those are Ramadan thieves, they steal from you the time
in which you could use to escalate your rewards Subhan Allah of him, so be careful. Use that time
		
00:06:49 --> 00:07:32
			wisely. Don't rush in your Salah. I love soccer so much I wake up sometimes in the middle of the
night to watch some matches, but when it is the time for prayers, I sacrifice that. So may Allah
subhanaw taala grant us the right understanding. Remember, the Prophet sallallahu Sallam told us our
caribou Maria corner Abdullah lobby Wahoo has said that the closer a servant gets to Allah subhanaw
taala the closer you can get to Allah subhanaw taala is during your prostration when you prostrate
and Alhamdulillah we have plenty of time to experience that position. That position which brought so
many non Muslims to Islam. Subhanallah alim, they just saw the Muslims humbling themselves in
		
00:07:32 --> 00:08:14
			prayers by putting the highest point of their body to the lowest of the low on the ground, and
glorifying Allah the Most High so don't miss out calling upon Allah subhanaw taala and begin to
change your condition or to strengthen your faith upon what you have started this Ramadan. Don't
ever quit what you have started the goodness that you have started in Ramadan should continue after
Ramadan even if you lessen the quantities of the number of records or the pages of the Quran and so
on. The second point that I wanted to highlight today in sha Allah Allah is to reflect over the fact
that when we were born, we were very helpless. We didn't know anything. We relied on our parents
		
00:08:14 --> 00:09:01
			upon Allah Allah Subhana Allah says in the Quran, Allah who led the raja community to pneumatic
combat Ala Moana che majali hola como sama will have a surah well as either la Allah come touch
Quran, that it is Allah subhana wa Taala who brought you forth from the wounds of your mother's
knowing nothing at all? Nothing ignorant, but then later on Allah subhanaw taala said, but then he
created for you a summer your healing abilities, while our Bishara your visions, your eyes sites,
this amazing miracle well as either in your hearts, your faults, your feelings and so on. Why
lolicon test Quran so that you may become grateful to Allah subhanaw taala Why Why should we be
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:46
			grateful that inshallah cartoon z then come because if you become grateful Allah will increase these
blessings for you Allah will increase your provisions for us Pamela loving, so we fail sometimes,
when we experience calamities and trials, we fail to remember these blessings, we just focus on the
negatives, and we forget the positive. So this video is an invitation for you to highlight the
positivity is in your life, to highlight the blessings that you have already enjoyed so far since
the day you were born. And finally, the last point on my list is an invitation for you to read
further. I would I would humbly request and I know that Ramadan is very busy time for everyone. But
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:59
			I would humbly request from all of you to go through those episodes that we have posted jot down few
tips and actions perhaps that we have suggested for you to execute and practice and Charlotta
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:49
			And then further enhance your knowledge by reading other books on the subject. These few minutes are
not sufficient for grounded education that will bring you to the real practice of these actions.
These are only suggestions inspirational moments for you to get motivated and do more research and
more reading. So the final advice of today's session would be to read more about each or about any
of the points that we have highlighted in our episode so that you can enhance further your
knowledge. And perhaps because of that, you will ensure a lot analysts start these activities and
maintain them consistently in sha Allah Allah until we meet Allah subhanaw taala together, your
		
00:10:49 --> 00:11:32
			Malay and fowl maroon, whatever known in lemon at Allah, the Colombian saline on that day where
there's no wealth or children will benefit the individual except those who returned to Allah
subhanaw taala with pure and sound heart, may Allah subhanaw taala accept from all of us. I hope
that you have enjoyed the reflection of today's session and I intend after every six episodes in sha
Allah to Allah, we will conclude with a reflective session of that kind and hopefully have enjoyed
and please share your insights with me in the comments below this video if you have also any
questions perhaps in the next reflective session we can address them in sha Allah does that allow
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:36
			Hydra? Stay strong, said I want to go live again.
