Santa Monica. I'm gonna get some data from other humans hamdu

00:00:09 --> 00:00:12

Lillahi Rabbil Alameen Allahumma Salli wa Sallim wa Barik I'm back

00:00:12 --> 00:00:16

with me. So you didn't know have you been at a karate

00:00:17 --> 00:00:19

club I didn't want him hygiene whichever one was in the bean,

00:00:20 --> 00:00:23

we'll say the weather the Adam with Mohammed Abdullah, while the

00:00:23 --> 00:00:29

early was how we went from Ahmedabad. So Hamdulillah this is

00:00:29 --> 00:00:36

our third and final session for this Ramadan of tripart series of

00:00:37 --> 00:00:42

sessions that we did upon mercy, forgiveness and now deliverance,

00:00:43 --> 00:00:46

based upon the Hadith of the Prophet SAW Selim, where he stated

00:00:46 --> 00:00:50

that the beginning of the of Ramadan are the first 10 days is

00:00:51 --> 00:00:52

signified by mercy,

00:00:54 --> 00:00:57

Rama, the second 10 days forgiveness, and then the last 10

00:00:57 --> 00:01:03

days and Minnaar or deliverance from the hellfire. So, we are in

00:01:03 --> 00:01:12

the year of 1442 of the Hijra. The Prophet Muhammad SAW Salam, and we

00:01:12 --> 00:01:16

are fasting Ramadan, Hamdulillah, and we are into the last 10 days

00:01:16 --> 00:01:17

of Ramadan.

00:01:18 --> 00:01:22

Little more than a week perhaps remains for this blessed month.

00:01:22 --> 00:01:23

And

00:01:24 --> 00:01:28

in this particular time of the month, the prophets why Selim

00:01:28 --> 00:01:33

indicated certain Hassan is what we would say things unique to the

00:01:33 --> 00:01:37

last 10 days. So there is a market

00:01:39 --> 00:01:40

let's call it

00:01:42 --> 00:01:47

intensity, or greater intensity of worship of the prophets are seldom

00:01:47 --> 00:01:52

as indicated by some of the Hadith NARRATED BY SIDE say that Isha his

00:01:52 --> 00:01:56

wife wrote the law and so amongst these things, and as we know from

00:01:58 --> 00:02:01

the Hadith that we were referring to all along, let's put in a knock

00:02:01 --> 00:02:03

deliverance from hellfire and we'll talk about that in a little

00:02:03 --> 00:02:04

bit.

00:02:05 --> 00:02:09

We also know that some of the Hadith indicate that in TMS little

00:02:09 --> 00:02:13

cult, seeking out of Layla till

00:02:14 --> 00:02:19

the night of color, so hard word to translate. Destiny doesn't

00:02:19 --> 00:02:22

right actually capture it, nor just power by itself. But we could

00:02:22 --> 00:02:27

say called Rahu Kibby. You know, the night of, of great value of

00:02:27 --> 00:02:28

great keema

00:02:29 --> 00:02:34

of great benefit to the believers is to be sought out in the last 10

00:02:34 --> 00:02:38

nights of Ramadan and some Hadith also indicating that last 10 Odd

00:02:38 --> 00:02:40

nights of Ramadan. So in the nights that we are in right now

00:02:42 --> 00:02:43

attic F

00:02:45 --> 00:02:46

to spend

00:02:47 --> 00:02:51

this time of the month in the masjid, according to some of them

00:02:53 --> 00:02:56

were one mix in intention not to leave and stay there. And this was

00:02:56 --> 00:03:00

the practice of the province so I set them for the last 10 days to

00:03:00 --> 00:03:04

stay until right before the eighth prayer, the prophesy center would

00:03:04 --> 00:03:09

make attic F and there are certain rules that go along with that. And

00:03:10 --> 00:03:14

also the Hadith indicate something about Shudehill mitzvah that the

00:03:14 --> 00:03:19

prophets why Selim the Mitzvah is that which is the lower government

00:03:20 --> 00:03:23

shutdown minister, they said it could mean that it's a it's a

00:03:23 --> 00:03:25

metaphor for the province size and being

00:03:26 --> 00:03:30

more serious, in this month or in this last 10 days. That goes along

00:03:30 --> 00:03:34

with Elaine, one of the narrations mentioned is can you Leila Cola,

00:03:35 --> 00:03:38

that he would give life to the night which means to spend the

00:03:38 --> 00:03:38

night in,

00:03:39 --> 00:03:43

in these last 10 nights in worship, in remembrance of Allah

00:03:43 --> 00:03:47

subhanaw taala into level to the Quran in reading the Quran so

00:03:47 --> 00:03:47

forth.

00:03:49 --> 00:03:50

Because it

00:03:51 --> 00:03:52

can

00:03:54 --> 00:03:56

allow, you will also solve are seldom

00:03:58 --> 00:04:03

awakened his family. So, there's this communal familial aspect also

00:04:03 --> 00:04:07

to these last 10 days and 10 Nights at the province Marxism was

00:04:07 --> 00:04:12

observed. So not only about himself but also to to awaken his

00:04:12 --> 00:04:19

family to observe something of the night. And also traditionally, for

00:04:19 --> 00:04:22

those who are trying to do a hot arm of the Quran or trying to read

00:04:22 --> 00:04:26

the Quran wants through somewhere along these last 10 nights if not

00:04:26 --> 00:04:31

the last night of Ramadan. Many people may be doing a hot tub of

00:04:31 --> 00:04:34

the Quran or reading the Quran once through some people have

00:04:34 --> 00:04:38

already done one or two or more and some will also be doing it in

00:04:38 --> 00:04:42

these last 10 Blessed nights of Ramadan. So

00:04:43 --> 00:04:44

these are all very

00:04:46 --> 00:04:47

beautiful things.

00:04:48 --> 00:04:50

And if you look at the some of them if you look at their

00:04:50 --> 00:04:51

characteristics

00:04:53 --> 00:04:54

later from Claude

00:04:55 --> 00:04:59

attea KEF you know spending time in the mosque

00:05:00 --> 00:05:03

seriousness giving life to the night waking up once family

00:05:05 --> 00:05:10

finishing the Quran, they all indicate to a word that I think

00:05:10 --> 00:05:14

captures it's something to some degree and Munna Jaya. And in one

00:05:14 --> 00:05:22

idea is to have this feeling of Hodor or presence and intimacy

00:05:22 --> 00:05:25

that it's between you and Allah's panel data, that you are the one

00:05:26 --> 00:05:29

speaking to Allah subhanaw taala. And the higher level, you are

00:05:29 --> 00:05:33

aware that Allah subhanaw taala is speaking to you. So to be aware of

00:05:33 --> 00:05:36

the Divine Presence and immunogen, which is like a inner

00:05:36 --> 00:05:41

conversation, or you can think of it also as flu, right, a greater,

00:05:41 --> 00:05:45

let's call it a greater level of consciousness, a greater level of

00:05:45 --> 00:05:50

mindfulness, a greater level of presence, with the device. So all

00:05:50 --> 00:05:53

of these activities, all of these blessings activities, culminating

00:05:53 --> 00:05:57

in the last 10 days, all indicate towards that. And,

00:05:59 --> 00:06:04

you know, I think for some people, there does happen, a sort of lull,

00:06:04 --> 00:06:08

I think, towards the middle of the month, I think people you know,

00:06:08 --> 00:06:10

start off very, some people at least start off very

00:06:10 --> 00:06:15

enthusiastically. And, you know, the, there's an excitement about

00:06:16 --> 00:06:20

the beginning of Ramadan. And usually, we find in non COVID

00:06:20 --> 00:06:25

times anyway, that the mosques are full, kind of in the beginning of

00:06:25 --> 00:06:28

the month, then there's a lull towards the middle of the month,

00:06:28 --> 00:06:31

and then you kind of get full again, around the Knights of Labor

00:06:31 --> 00:06:35

to Qatar and the last odd night so the 23rd 25th 27th nights, so

00:06:35 --> 00:06:36

forth.

00:06:37 --> 00:06:41

But there's sometimes happens, this type of, let's call it for

00:06:41 --> 00:06:46

Turin, him or alone, in one's aspiration, and we are human

00:06:46 --> 00:06:50

beings. And we said that one of the objectives of Ramadan is to be

00:06:50 --> 00:06:53

more angelic or to try to be more angelic.

00:06:55 --> 00:07:00

And the Quran describes the melodica as ly as a moon is a

00:07:00 --> 00:07:03

moon, they never tire they don't grow, they don't grow bored. They

00:07:03 --> 00:07:06

don't have they don't suffer from the AMA. They don't suffer from

00:07:06 --> 00:07:10

this type of photo l Himba, you know this lapse or lull in

00:07:10 --> 00:07:14

aspiration. And we are human beings, and this is this happens

00:07:14 --> 00:07:19

to us. So out of Allah's immense benefits, insane generosity,

00:07:20 --> 00:07:24

these kinds of very special activities and consultants and

00:07:24 --> 00:07:28

special things are included in the last 10 days and 10 nights of

00:07:28 --> 00:07:32

Ramadan perhaps as a, as an encouragement for us for perhaps

00:07:32 --> 00:07:36

as a way to, to raise our aspiration to raise our him, you

00:07:36 --> 00:07:41

know, the finish line is kind of in sight. And it just takes a

00:07:41 --> 00:07:46

little bit more of an HD head, a little bit more of a struggle than

00:07:46 --> 00:07:47

a little bit more of

00:07:50 --> 00:07:56

focus, I think insha Allah for one to, to be able to really gain the

00:07:56 --> 00:07:59

most benefit they can out of, of this month of this plus that

00:07:59 --> 00:08:05

month. And this morning, yeah, this kind of intimate conversation

00:08:05 --> 00:08:07

that we're having with Allah subhanaw taala it's supposed to

00:08:07 --> 00:08:10

raise us to a higher level of consciousness and this is what

00:08:10 --> 00:08:14

leads me late. Right? Allah says to the Prophet SAW Selim

00:08:14 --> 00:08:19

Chromolaena Illa kalila This is a humungous mineral, Kalia. I was in

00:08:19 --> 00:08:24

one of the local Atlanta 30 la Chromolaena, Illa, kalila.

00:08:25 --> 00:08:29

Ghana, Colleen and Mina lady where you had your own sort of theory

00:08:29 --> 00:08:33

yet. So the instructions are prophets and so little Muslim,

00:08:33 --> 00:08:36

homie Leila. Illa Calida. Yeah. And he's standing right Illa

00:08:36 --> 00:08:39

Colleen, except for a little bit you don't stand and some of them

00:08:39 --> 00:08:42

said this is something so unique and special to the province I

00:08:42 --> 00:08:45

said, the prophets are seven has a bear that was different than ours.

00:08:45 --> 00:08:51

It was more intense. Can I assume and we saw all right, I am in moto

00:08:51 --> 00:08:54

Italia used to fast two and three days in a row. In other words

00:08:54 --> 00:08:57

without breaking his past. And even some of the companions saw

00:08:57 --> 00:09:00

him doing this and I tried to emulate him. And he said that you

00:09:00 --> 00:09:04

cannot emulate me in this. You have to break your fast McRib

00:09:04 --> 00:09:04

every day.

00:09:05 --> 00:09:10

In your terminal, mini wasting, my Lord is the one who feeds me and

00:09:10 --> 00:09:11

who

00:09:12 --> 00:09:16

quenches my thirst. So something unique and special about the Obeah

00:09:16 --> 00:09:20

of the promissory Salam and also the tahajjud or the Clemmie lane

00:09:20 --> 00:09:22

or something he never left.

00:09:24 --> 00:09:24

So,

00:09:26 --> 00:09:30

in this, you know, we said we can be more angelic in the month of

00:09:30 --> 00:09:35

Ramadan. But I think it's also appropriate to say, we can be more

00:09:35 --> 00:09:39

prophetic you know, we could live more closely to the prophetic life

00:09:39 --> 00:09:43

and the life of the prophet Muhammad SAW ourselves in terms of

00:09:43 --> 00:09:46

his a better his him and his aspiration

00:09:47 --> 00:09:51

is actually of a higher form than the life of the angels. If the

00:09:51 --> 00:09:55

prophets why Selim whoa, hold on Miguel caught, as we believe, if

00:09:55 --> 00:09:59

the prophesy Selim is the best of creation, then his life then

00:10:00 --> 00:10:05

is the best of lives. And his way then is the best of ways. And if

00:10:05 --> 00:10:08

these are the things that he did in the last 10 days and 10 nights

00:10:08 --> 00:10:11

of Ramadan, then those those are the best things that you can do in

00:10:11 --> 00:10:15

the last 10 days and last 10 nights of Ramadan. And amongst

00:10:15 --> 00:10:19

these things, you know, the fasting remains the same in the

00:10:19 --> 00:10:22

last 10 nights and 10 days, but this issue of family

00:10:23 --> 00:10:26

of standing longer during the night.

00:10:27 --> 00:10:32

And as I said, it's we may have tutorial him or we may have a

00:10:32 --> 00:10:33

lapse, we may have,

00:10:35 --> 00:10:40

you know, kind of a weariness about things. That's normal, but

00:10:40 --> 00:10:47

it's our insistence to try our best and to try to feel those

00:10:47 --> 00:10:52

commands in the best way possible that the Himba or the raw find him

00:10:52 --> 00:10:54

that the raising of the aspiration will not come from you. It'll come

00:10:54 --> 00:10:58

from Allah subhanaw taala. Elena indiscernible Ahmed, as I say, we

00:10:58 --> 00:11:04

have to obey the command. And then the meanings that come with

00:11:04 --> 00:11:07

obeying the command, the raising of aspiration, the the feeling of

00:11:07 --> 00:11:11

connectedness with Allah subhanaw taala. The feeling of man a year

00:11:11 --> 00:11:15

of witness Allah is with you and you feel that palpably.

00:11:16 --> 00:11:17

The feeling of

00:11:18 --> 00:11:22

Hatha Anya and mohammedia solo I sent him to feel that you're with

00:11:22 --> 00:11:24

the Prophet sorry, so then you're in emulating him in his steps.

00:11:25 --> 00:11:28

Even when you read the Quran? Yes, we are reading the words that were

00:11:28 --> 00:11:32

revealed by Allah subhanaw taala. With those words, were revealed by

00:11:32 --> 00:11:36

Allah smart Allah to his prophets, Eliza. So actually reading the

00:11:36 --> 00:11:40

same words you're reciting the same words as as the Prophet

00:11:40 --> 00:11:45

Muhammad SAW so Ramadan really you can think of it as a beautiful way

00:11:45 --> 00:11:50

to be more prophetic to be more prophet like to be more Mohammadi,

00:11:50 --> 00:11:53

right to be more like Muhammad czar said I'm the one who was the

00:11:53 --> 00:11:56

most praised one of the oft praised one on one praised by

00:11:57 --> 00:11:58

many

00:11:59 --> 00:12:06

to many even to count. So, these meanings then that show us how in

00:12:06 --> 00:12:09

the form of a man how in the form of human being. And we talked

00:12:09 --> 00:12:13

about this earlier in earlier sessions at Berseria. Will

00:12:13 --> 00:12:17

incendia. So how even though he has an outer form of machete and

00:12:17 --> 00:12:22

outer form of humanity, right, that is, much like the same as

00:12:22 --> 00:12:26

ours, no different actually. But the inner form the insignia of the

00:12:26 --> 00:12:29

whole fabric, right? This is where the the distinction comes into

00:12:29 --> 00:12:35

play. But we can avail ourselves of this distinction by following

00:12:35 --> 00:12:38

the prophetic commands and the poetic way. And specifically in

00:12:38 --> 00:12:42

these last 10 days. You know, if you think about little clouds, how

00:12:42 --> 00:12:45

do you run when l fish off as the Quran mentions it is a night that

00:12:45 --> 00:12:51

is better than 1000 months? Didn't say 1000 nights, I said 1000

00:12:51 --> 00:12:56

months? Right? Because the month is the unit by which we observe

00:12:56 --> 00:13:02

Ramadan. So it's like you did 1000 Ramadan's in the single light. And

00:13:03 --> 00:13:06

even more bewildering about this, it's not just once in your

00:13:06 --> 00:13:11

lifetime, it's actually every month out of every 12 months, you

00:13:11 --> 00:13:14

have the opportunity to avail yourself of laser cut, right,

00:13:14 --> 00:13:17

according at least to the opinions that say that laser cutter only

00:13:17 --> 00:13:21

falls in Ramadan. And there are other opinions. Some believe that

00:13:21 --> 00:13:23

later to the club, it also can fall in months outside of Ramadan,

00:13:24 --> 00:13:28

but that it primarily falls in Ramadan, and primarily in the last

00:13:28 --> 00:13:31

10 nights and primarily in the last 10 Nights. I'm Allah

00:13:32 --> 00:13:36

and Allah subhanaw taala kept this specific,

00:13:38 --> 00:13:41

precise time when it was going to be from us for hikma for a reason.

00:13:41 --> 00:13:45

So that at least you know, we can treat every night like leave it or

00:13:45 --> 00:13:47

at least treat every night and then about the unlikeliness of

00:13:47 --> 00:13:52

club. So every 12 months, we go 11 months, then there comes a month,

00:13:52 --> 00:13:56

when we can make it like 1000 miles. And you can do that for

00:13:56 --> 00:14:01

your whole life. And if you think about it, that means your outer

00:14:01 --> 00:14:06

life, your your battery life, right? Eating and drinking and you

00:14:06 --> 00:14:09

know, living your life as any other human being very similar to

00:14:09 --> 00:14:13

everybody else. But the inner life. Right? The life of insomnia

00:14:13 --> 00:14:18

is quite different. You could be one who has lived literally

00:14:18 --> 00:14:24

hundreds and 1000s of years, based upon later to Qatar, based upon

00:14:24 --> 00:14:28

capturing the meanings of negative club based upon availing yourself

00:14:28 --> 00:14:33

of the power and of the value the claimer of a latest of causality

00:14:33 --> 00:14:36

here Hi, Roman officia, the one that is better than

00:14:37 --> 00:14:42

1000 months. And so that value that benefit we can't read

00:14:42 --> 00:14:46

properly Fathom even because it's even though it compares it into

00:14:46 --> 00:14:49

the years or the months that we know on this life in this

00:14:49 --> 00:14:52

terrestrial life. But what Allah subhanaw taala has in mind what

00:14:52 --> 00:14:56

all of us want that was intended for what happens in those 1000

00:14:56 --> 00:14:58

months and how we can avail ourselves of the meaning of 1000

00:14:58 --> 00:14:59

months and this coyote

00:15:00 --> 00:15:05

Yeah, right failure it is better. You know, in Arabic language when

00:15:06 --> 00:15:10

something is left unqualified, so didn't say how's it better? Right

00:15:10 --> 00:15:14

didn't say, Pharaoh, fisherman heif and muda Omen high school

00:15:14 --> 00:15:19

team, together didn't say exactly. That means from all aspects. It's

00:15:19 --> 00:15:24

better in all aspects than 1000 months, than 1000 of these worldly

00:15:24 --> 00:15:27

months that we live than 1000 of any other months that are not the

00:15:27 --> 00:15:28

month of Ramadan.

00:15:29 --> 00:15:34

Why such a meaning why, why such a great value again, because it is

00:15:34 --> 00:15:36

the inner meaning that we're talking about, similar to the

00:15:36 --> 00:15:39

hadith of kotse, that I think we also discussed in one of the

00:15:39 --> 00:15:39

previous sessions.

00:15:42 --> 00:15:44

That Allah Subhana Allah says in the hadith of Cozzi, Leia, and he

00:15:44 --> 00:15:47

said that you are developing a SonicWALL, it will not mean

00:15:48 --> 00:15:52

the heavens and the earth cannot encompass me, but the heart of the

00:15:52 --> 00:15:58

believer can in terms of the meanings of divinity of the Iraq

00:16:00 --> 00:16:05

guru here, right to, to understand on how they're either here to and

00:16:05 --> 00:16:09

to feel to be in the presence of Allah subhanaw taala that is

00:16:09 --> 00:16:13

something only the human heart can be encompassed in, even though the

00:16:13 --> 00:16:15

heavens and the earth, which are generally

00:16:17 --> 00:16:21

inanimate, or not sentient, non sentient creations, but the

00:16:21 --> 00:16:26

sentient heart of the human being, has the ability to, to capture all

00:16:26 --> 00:16:30

of that. So what a great potential that we have, and what a great

00:16:30 --> 00:16:34

gift that we've been given a gift, not even the heavens and the earth

00:16:34 --> 00:16:39

have been given. But we, as inhabitants of these heavens and

00:16:39 --> 00:16:43

this Earth have been given this ability. And so, Ramadan, then

00:16:43 --> 00:16:48

represents the opportunity to actually really find to that and

00:16:48 --> 00:16:52

to come into that, to that presence into that huddle. So,

00:16:52 --> 00:16:54

going back to the minutiae

00:16:56 --> 00:16:57

there are kind of four

00:17:00 --> 00:17:04

pillars, if you will, that are considered to be the,

00:17:05 --> 00:17:10

the, you know, the kind of the gateways from, from Besch idea to

00:17:10 --> 00:17:14

incendia, from just leaving living, merely human existence,

00:17:15 --> 00:17:19

terms of the very human ominous, animalistic aspects of human life,

00:17:19 --> 00:17:23

and then living a sort of more prophetic, angelic life, in

00:17:23 --> 00:17:29

Saniya, true humanity. And these four pillars, we thought we find

00:17:29 --> 00:17:32

them all on Amazon. And these four pillars we find them even

00:17:32 --> 00:17:37

specifically in the last 10 nights of, of this blessed month. And one

00:17:37 --> 00:17:43

of those pillars is what they call a subject or choosing silence over

00:17:43 --> 00:17:46

speech. So we're so good to be just to be silent because you

00:17:46 --> 00:17:51

can't have you don't have anything to say. I must select for our song

00:17:51 --> 00:17:56

and it can. So we know that money and money has said I'm in the

00:17:56 --> 00:18:01

Quran. When she had the miraculous birth of baby Jesus. He sadly he

00:18:01 --> 00:18:05

Salam. What did she say? In Nina that will rock man your soul man

00:18:05 --> 00:18:12

felon? Okay, Lima Neoma INSIA I have vowed silence the verb to

00:18:12 --> 00:18:17

their Rahmani Salman so same word. So sad vow of silence for then

00:18:17 --> 00:18:20

okay Lima Neoma insane Yeah. So, I will not speak to any anyone

00:18:20 --> 00:18:24

today. And then when she brought her baby and they said the company

00:18:24 --> 00:18:28

GT che and failure this is what is this how can this be your father

00:18:28 --> 00:18:31

was not a bad man nor your mother. For assuredly right and then she

00:18:31 --> 00:18:35

pointed towards him from and then he is the one who spoke he spoke

00:18:35 --> 00:18:39

on her behalf for on top of Allah Hafiz Muhammad, Allah small data

00:18:39 --> 00:18:40

give them the ability to speak

00:18:41 --> 00:18:47

in the in the cradle. And in fact, this idea of something descend our

00:18:47 --> 00:18:53

Psalm in the sand to hold back from from speech and only in

00:18:53 --> 00:18:57

matters then that are beneficial. Right is one of the let's call

00:18:57 --> 00:19:02

them the gateways from mere Berseria to incendia. Right click

00:19:02 --> 00:19:07

metal incendia to be of a high level of of insomnia. You know

00:19:07 --> 00:19:10

people talking all the time and talking about a million things and

00:19:10 --> 00:19:12

there's a lot of things and call and then there are things even

00:19:12 --> 00:19:15

worse, not just he said she said but you know lying and cheating

00:19:15 --> 00:19:16

and

00:19:18 --> 00:19:24

innuendo and spreading rumors and all sorts of things. You know the

00:19:24 --> 00:19:28

commanding verse in the Quran and our Quran it says the higher

00:19:28 --> 00:19:31

efficacy room in Nigeria home 11 Amana Masada 14 Omar Govan Oh

00:19:31 --> 00:19:35

Stephen Baden Yes, well many of our dedicated to quality life so

00:19:35 --> 00:19:39

for UT agilon Alima there is not a lot of good in what they say in

00:19:39 --> 00:19:40

their inner conversations.

00:19:41 --> 00:19:46

Except for men, Amara besonderheiten Alma roof, except

00:19:46 --> 00:19:52

someone who commands to to charity or to good. Oh Islam vainness or

00:19:52 --> 00:19:56

to bring reconciliation between people. Those are good things to

00:19:56 --> 00:19:59

talk about. Right so in my talk Mobis Sadako in meta mode

00:20:00 --> 00:20:05

In my room how to Slack bananas. So either talk about something

00:20:05 --> 00:20:08

that is charitable or command to charity, or talk about something

00:20:08 --> 00:20:11

that is good that is models that will bring benefits to people.

00:20:13 --> 00:20:15

And Hadith of the Prophet saw our settlement, can you relate with

00:20:15 --> 00:20:19

your FFL? Yeah, can hire only a smart, whoever believes in Allah

00:20:19 --> 00:20:22

and the Last Day that let them say something good on your spot, or

00:20:22 --> 00:20:26

let them be silence? Choose silence. Oh, it's like and been in

00:20:26 --> 00:20:30

this or to bring reconciliation between people. So this is

00:20:30 --> 00:20:31

something he said.

00:20:32 --> 00:20:36

There's also a higher form called some kind of something called and

00:20:36 --> 00:20:42

it came for the heart to be in a state of cm. Right. Specifically,

00:20:42 --> 00:20:45

when we're talking about what is the speech of the heart, we call

00:20:45 --> 00:20:49

that hot water. Hot water are extraneous thoughts or,

00:20:50 --> 00:20:55

you know, straying thoughts. It's to be fasting from everything that

00:20:56 --> 00:21:00

distracts you from Allah subhanaw taala. In other words, to see that

00:21:00 --> 00:21:03

the or more I'm another relationship with is merely

00:21:03 --> 00:21:06

between or solely between you and Allah subhanaw taala.

00:21:07 --> 00:21:09

It's narrated, I believe that

00:21:10 --> 00:21:13

we proceeded to salami. He said that, you know, for 30 years, I

00:21:13 --> 00:21:17

would be people thought I was talking to them. And I was

00:21:17 --> 00:21:21

actually talking to a lot. So, yes, he's talking to people like,

00:21:21 --> 00:21:26

ostensibly. But in actuality, there's no via, right, there's no

00:21:26 --> 00:21:29

loss of weight. I'm with Allah right now, even though there's

00:21:29 --> 00:21:32

people in front of me and I'm dealing with them, what they call

00:21:34 --> 00:21:38

alfalfa for Java. Right? So you're, there's a type of issue

00:21:38 --> 00:21:41

that there's a type of owns and intimacy between you and Allah,

00:21:41 --> 00:21:43

even though there's a million people around you.

00:21:44 --> 00:21:47

And that's my call, right? And this was actually, the prophetic

00:21:47 --> 00:21:50

McCollum was that and even higher, especially in the days of Dawa,

00:21:50 --> 00:21:53

and the days of the Prophetic Mission of the Prophet Muhammad

00:21:53 --> 00:21:53

source.

00:21:54 --> 00:21:55

So,

00:21:56 --> 00:21:59

we find that in these last 10 days, we should think about

00:22:00 --> 00:22:02

speaking only when we need to, and then speaking of things that are

00:22:02 --> 00:22:06

only good and trying to refrain and you know, and living these

00:22:06 --> 00:22:10

prophetic days, these last prophetic 10 nights and days of

00:22:10 --> 00:22:10

Ramadan

00:22:16 --> 00:22:17

going along with

00:22:18 --> 00:22:22

a subject, which kind of follows is something called an Oslo

00:22:23 --> 00:22:27

and so when we can fast from speech and then we can also fast

00:22:27 --> 00:22:28

from

00:22:32 --> 00:22:35

interactions that are not beneficial between us and other

00:22:35 --> 00:22:35

people.

00:22:36 --> 00:22:42

Right, so, to find a good intention to seek out or prefer

00:22:42 --> 00:22:47

the Sahaba the companionship of God of Allah subhanaw taala over

00:22:47 --> 00:22:50

the companionship of everybody else. And Allah says in the sort

00:22:50 --> 00:22:54

of Bootsy energy lease woman macaroni energy, this woman's

00:22:54 --> 00:23:00

macaroni, I am the Companion of the one who remembers me. The one

00:23:00 --> 00:23:02

who makes it thicker, right? The one who says that you know it

00:23:02 --> 00:23:06

Allah Subhan Allah what hamdulillah what uh, Hola, Lakota

00:23:06 --> 00:23:12

Ellerbee Aldi. So, all of these things can be found in the, in the

00:23:12 --> 00:23:15

OSLA. And this is a meaning you find in Africa. So Africa, if

00:23:15 --> 00:23:20

there are certain adab there are certain predicates to be, you

00:23:20 --> 00:23:24

know, it's not supposed to be a slumber party. And the men or even

00:23:24 --> 00:23:27

the women get together in the masjid and they just kind of hang

00:23:27 --> 00:23:30

out and, you know, horseplay and fool around and are together in

00:23:30 --> 00:23:34

the mosque, no, it's there has to be, there should be a seriousness

00:23:34 --> 00:23:36

about it, there should be an intention, there should be

00:23:38 --> 00:23:44

a vastness of aspiration and him looking to something higher, not

00:23:44 --> 00:23:45

busy oneself with

00:23:48 --> 00:23:50

with anything other than Allah subhanaw taala to the degree that

00:23:50 --> 00:23:54

they said from the devil attic F is that even if there's a funeral

00:23:54 --> 00:23:57

Prayerless taking part in the mosque, and you're in your attic,

00:23:57 --> 00:24:00

if it's better for you to stay in your attic, if than to join in a

00:24:00 --> 00:24:04

funeral prayer if other people already doing it. And joining the

00:24:04 --> 00:24:07

funeral pros very meritorious, but it's seeing that the attic if

00:24:07 --> 00:24:12

there's a specific meaning to it, this this type of orzola and you

00:24:12 --> 00:24:17

can make an intention, that atty Zed, or to leave others behind for

00:24:17 --> 00:24:18

one of two reasons.

00:24:20 --> 00:24:23

Either because you want to stay away from them because you feel

00:24:23 --> 00:24:27

that they will affect you negatively. And sometimes that's a

00:24:27 --> 00:24:32

valid reason. Or the better reason is to stay away from them because

00:24:32 --> 00:24:36

you don't want you yourself to affect them negatively. Right. You

00:24:36 --> 00:24:39

want to keep them safe and protected from your bad habits,

00:24:39 --> 00:24:43

from your bad character from from your mistakes from your slips,

00:24:43 --> 00:24:47

slips of the tongue, and so forth. So the second one is higher

00:24:47 --> 00:24:50

because it indicates a moral club. Right? And look, it's a vigilance

00:24:50 --> 00:24:55

on your part and a recognition and humility that, you know, it's not

00:24:55 --> 00:24:57

really the people who are affecting you. It's your lack of

00:24:57 --> 00:25:00

ability to deal with whatever that they're doing with you.

00:25:01 --> 00:25:05

But if you aren't for Heslin hustling, right? If you're, you

00:25:05 --> 00:25:07

know, spiritually, you're a fortress and you have a strong

00:25:07 --> 00:25:09

inner life, it doesn't matter what everybody else does.

00:25:12 --> 00:25:16

Now your mandala is after day two, this is the Quran LUCAM. And

00:25:17 --> 00:25:17

either today for

00:25:19 --> 00:25:21

those who have gone astray, they're not going to harm you

00:25:21 --> 00:25:24

either have to datum if you yourself are guided yourself have

00:25:25 --> 00:25:30

this insane idea or inner figure, right you have this strong in

00:25:30 --> 00:25:35

sending a strong quality of true humanity upheld within you.

00:25:43 --> 00:25:45

And then also, so those are the first two,

00:25:46 --> 00:25:48

then we have a saga,

00:25:49 --> 00:25:53

which we find also in the meaning of PM, as we mentioned earlier in

00:25:53 --> 00:25:58

these last 10 Days and nights. So SATA means to forego sleep. So

00:25:58 --> 00:26:02

it's a Psalm I will see, um, I didn't know, or I didn't laferla

00:26:02 --> 00:26:06

Right, so it's too fast from sleep. So when you're asleep,

00:26:06 --> 00:26:09

there's a lack of awareness, right, you're actually literally

00:26:09 --> 00:26:13

physically bodily, not aware, you're in a different place. So

00:26:13 --> 00:26:13

that's

00:26:15 --> 00:26:19

a type of fasting, then there's a type of fasting from sleep while

00:26:19 --> 00:26:25

you are awake. Right? So mine is off, let right to be fasting, from

00:26:25 --> 00:26:30

ruffler. From this remembrance, from lack of awareness, lack of

00:26:30 --> 00:26:35

self awareness from lack of divine awareness, this type of fasting is

00:26:35 --> 00:26:39

the higher form of fasting that you can find facade. So when the

00:26:39 --> 00:26:43

Prophet Sarson was instructed in the Quran, homie, Leila Illa,

00:26:43 --> 00:26:47

kalila, right and clear, right. It's almost like a metaphor for

00:26:47 --> 00:26:51

Psalm and it'll have a lot to avoid the offer that those things

00:26:51 --> 00:26:55

that are distracting I will hear when he had those things that will

00:26:55 --> 00:26:59

take you away from anything from the Divine Presence. So your your

00:26:59 --> 00:27:04

five senses that are gateways to having this meaning this mountain

00:27:04 --> 00:27:10

of So Monica let right you know, to pay attention to what you pay

00:27:10 --> 00:27:14

attention to. As we said, I think in the previous class, your

00:27:14 --> 00:27:17

attention span is limited your attention, energy is limited, so

00:27:17 --> 00:27:20

expended on only those things that are important those things that

00:27:22 --> 00:27:25

will bring you closer to Allah subhanaw taala.

00:27:27 --> 00:27:29

And then, finally

00:27:33 --> 00:27:36

the fourth pillar is hunger and Juha, which is the conventional

00:27:36 --> 00:27:40

sound that we know of Soleimani, Tom was shut up. So to

00:27:41 --> 00:27:46

avoid, or to fast from food and drink, which is something we've

00:27:46 --> 00:27:51

been doing all month. And that kind of is really the, the central

00:27:51 --> 00:27:54

pillar, you know, the other three are important, but the central

00:27:54 --> 00:27:58

pillar, or let's say, the primal one, right, the one that will kind

00:27:58 --> 00:28:02

of get your foot in the door, between Russia and insomnia the

00:28:02 --> 00:28:06

fastest is how you deal with food. And that's why we find, you know,

00:28:06 --> 00:28:10

the, the, the overarching theme of Ramadan is fasting from food and

00:28:10 --> 00:28:10

drink

00:28:12 --> 00:28:15

during the day, because it's those things that get us into trouble.

00:28:15 --> 00:28:19

And, you know, one of the things that I think it's important for a

00:28:19 --> 00:28:25

post or madonn kind of regime, is to think about how, what is my

00:28:25 --> 00:28:30

relationship going to be with food, after Ramadan, you know, and

00:28:30 --> 00:28:35

here we are 2122 days into Ramadan. And we we've kind of

00:28:35 --> 00:28:39

proved to ourselves, if we fasted so far, these three weeks plus,

00:28:39 --> 00:28:42

that we can stay away from food, we do have the willpower, we do

00:28:42 --> 00:28:43

have the ability

00:28:44 --> 00:28:48

to fast the 14 and 15 and 16 hours a day or more that some people

00:28:48 --> 00:28:48

fast.

00:28:50 --> 00:28:55

And so that means if I am capable, then I am also capable after

00:28:55 --> 00:29:00

Ramadan, to have a more focused approach to how I approach meals

00:29:00 --> 00:29:06

and how I approach food. You know, if you read the manuals have a fit

00:29:06 --> 00:29:09

into so often and things that came before, you know, usually they

00:29:09 --> 00:29:11

said, if you have two meals a day, that's kind of like your

00:29:11 --> 00:29:13

borderline, that's just about enough.

00:29:15 --> 00:29:18

This concept of three meals a day wasn't my girlfriend, think of a

00:29:18 --> 00:29:22

text where I found that mentioned, and usually it was, you know, two

00:29:22 --> 00:29:26

meals a day like a morning meal and an evening meal. Or they would

00:29:26 --> 00:29:29

say, you know, the Hadith of the Prophet SAW, I suddenly said that

00:29:29 --> 00:29:32

I mean, Tasha with the Tasha metadata, right? So if you had

00:29:32 --> 00:29:35

like a post afternoon meal, then he wouldn't have a night meal if

00:29:35 --> 00:29:38

you had a night meal. So I said we wouldn't have the post afternoon

00:29:38 --> 00:29:42

meal, and so forth. And they describe the matter and how they

00:29:42 --> 00:29:46

would have meals. You know, if bread was the staple, usually we

00:29:46 --> 00:29:50

do the bread or rice but whichever one it would be anything that goes

00:29:50 --> 00:29:54

along with that they would call it an EDM, right and the EDM is that

00:29:54 --> 00:29:57

which goes along with the staple of bread or rice, so that could be

00:29:57 --> 00:29:59

HUD right and the province or

00:30:00 --> 00:30:03

vinegar promises are seldom said that no house can be can be

00:30:03 --> 00:30:08

SideRed, a house of poverty or house devoid of Baraka if as long

00:30:08 --> 00:30:12

as there is bread, and right there is hope. And there is

00:30:13 --> 00:30:17

bread and, and vinegar that you can dip the bread into. So, kind

00:30:17 --> 00:30:21

of a minimalism or a simplification of not just

00:30:22 --> 00:30:26

what we eat, but how often we eat. You know, most people today who

00:30:26 --> 00:30:31

live in affluent Western countries, or live an affluent

00:30:31 --> 00:30:33

western lifestyle, though they will not be in a Western country,

00:30:34 --> 00:30:37

your frigerator is stocked, you may have a second refrigerator

00:30:37 --> 00:30:42

somewhere, you have a pantry that has all sorts of things in it, all

00:30:42 --> 00:30:47

sorts of snacks. And so you find yourself actually just, you know,

00:30:47 --> 00:30:51

grazing as it were, you know, going, every time you get a little

00:30:51 --> 00:30:51

bit

00:30:53 --> 00:30:55

bored with something, especially if you're in the home, especially

00:30:55 --> 00:30:58

during this COVID period, then find yourself grazing towards the

00:30:58 --> 00:31:02

frigerator, or towards the pantry, just picking something up here and

00:31:02 --> 00:31:06

there. And, you know, even not just the health effects, not just

00:31:06 --> 00:31:09

giving your system arrest between meals to kind of properly digest,

00:31:10 --> 00:31:13

but also the spiritual effects of, you know, eating between meals and

00:31:13 --> 00:31:14

of snacking. And

00:31:16 --> 00:31:17

just having this sort of

00:31:18 --> 00:31:23

unfocused approach, I think, to how we how we treat that which

00:31:23 --> 00:31:26

sustains our life, our meals, is something to think about something

00:31:26 --> 00:31:29

to consider, especially in, in the post,

00:31:30 --> 00:31:35

post someone's on period. So and the M

00:31:36 --> 00:31:40

is related to job or standing or the yam

00:31:41 --> 00:31:46

or what we call, call you media. Right. So someone one of the names

00:31:46 --> 00:31:49

of the last button is on call you, right, the one who is self

00:31:49 --> 00:31:53

sustained doesn't need anyone else to sustain them. And when you're

00:31:53 --> 00:31:58

fasting, this is kind of a mirror image of that play who Mia, right,

00:31:58 --> 00:32:01

there's a meaning some meaning of clay, you may or some dhania,

00:32:01 --> 00:32:04

right, not needing anything and not needing others when you're

00:32:04 --> 00:32:07

doing that. And we know that angels don't eat and don't drink,

00:32:07 --> 00:32:10

and they don't have no no need for food or drink. So while you are a

00:32:10 --> 00:32:13

fasting person while you're in the state of fasting, or why are you

00:32:13 --> 00:32:19

even in the state of, of hunger, you only choosing to be hungry by

00:32:19 --> 00:32:23

fasting. There's a type of clay umiya, right, there's a type of

00:32:23 --> 00:32:28

standing up and upright and not being in need of other things. And

00:32:28 --> 00:32:31

there are certain benefits that come along with that hunger could

00:32:31 --> 00:32:34

be a great test. And one of the benefits of hunger is that also

00:32:34 --> 00:32:39

that we grow and empathy for others who are not hungry by

00:32:39 --> 00:32:43

choice, but hungry because they don't have access to food. And

00:32:44 --> 00:32:45

there are many, many people all over the world.

00:32:47 --> 00:32:50

Generally not because there's not enough food, but that ways to get

00:32:50 --> 00:32:53

the food to them. And that there are barriers between them and the

00:32:53 --> 00:32:57

Food Wars and infrastructure issues and disease and

00:32:59 --> 00:33:03

and lack of empathy really is one of the main reasons as well that

00:33:03 --> 00:33:04

people don't get to eat.

00:33:05 --> 00:33:06

So when I'm alone also

00:33:07 --> 00:33:12

instills that meaning within us and instills that meaning of umiya

00:33:13 --> 00:33:16

Allah subhanaw taala what higher for you is one that is the most

00:33:16 --> 00:33:18

alive and he is the one that is the most

00:33:19 --> 00:33:24

self sustaining, and we can avail ourselves of some of these the

00:33:24 --> 00:33:28

Hulk will snap might have taking on some of these character traits

00:33:28 --> 00:33:32

of this of these names of Allah subhanaw taala you know, to have a

00:33:32 --> 00:33:37

flotilla take on some of the divine character traits school or

00:33:37 --> 00:33:42

Rabbani, as the Quran says, be Rabbani be Lord, like, in the

00:33:42 --> 00:33:45

things that we can emulate Allah subhanaw taala that we can avail

00:33:45 --> 00:33:50

ourselves in. And these four pillars, as we mentioned, are the

00:33:50 --> 00:33:55

gateway to take you from Bashar Al to insomnia. And they're all found

00:33:55 --> 00:33:59

in these last 10 Days and nights of Ramadan, of which most remain,

00:33:59 --> 00:34:03

the opportunities still there from the death. So if we found

00:34:03 --> 00:34:04

ourselves kind of,

00:34:06 --> 00:34:10

lack of him, lack of, you know, seriousness or aspiration, we can

00:34:10 --> 00:34:14

actually make it up literally in one night. Right, because later to

00:34:14 --> 00:34:17

call that happens in one night, and later, we'll call you may

00:34:17 --> 00:34:20

still be in front of us. And if we make the intention that every

00:34:20 --> 00:34:24

night is later, two o'clock, and that every day of the remaining

00:34:24 --> 00:34:28

days of Ramadan could be our last Ramadan. Also, we don't know if

00:34:28 --> 00:34:29

we're going to be around here

00:34:30 --> 00:34:34

on this earth next year, and certainly many of those who have

00:34:34 --> 00:34:38

been fasting this year, we know will not be here next year. So for

00:34:38 --> 00:34:42

many of us, this could be the last year but on and, you know, that's

00:34:42 --> 00:34:43

something to think about and to ponder.

00:34:45 --> 00:34:48

You know, these are the times these are am Allah, these are the

00:34:48 --> 00:34:51

days of Allah subhanaw taala. We are given ample opportunity to

00:34:51 --> 00:34:53

remember him and to

00:34:54 --> 00:34:58

to seek His favor and to seek His pleasure and to be contented with

00:34:58 --> 00:34:59

him and to be contented with him.

00:35:00 --> 00:35:04

As degree so we ask Allah subhanaw taala to grant us this and to

00:35:05 --> 00:35:10

to lift us from our mere Berseria into the heights and the

00:35:12 --> 00:35:17

the the MACOM of insomnia. The station's of insomnia in the holy

00:35:17 --> 00:35:20

youth adequate cause are they handling Robert it means about a

00:35:20 --> 00:35:23

couple of people music was off here. NASA so I was on Daniella

00:35:23 --> 00:35:27

cometa frequency that was that photo and you basically in a

00:35:27 --> 00:35:31

female Buffy I mean Ramadan when you were Luna, Ramadan Philarmonic

00:35:31 --> 00:35:35
