Ruthie Ramadan Lila let me say you
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:20
			didn't know that well have you
been able to find the volume
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:22
			hygiene which if you haven't
recently been sad when they the
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:26
			other Mullah Mohammed Abdullah,
while early was hobby one
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:28
			from Ahmedabad.
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:30
			So

			I bring you greetings and Salaam
in this very auspicious and bless
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:40
			it occasion of the beginning of
Ramadan. Whether you started today
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:42
			or you started yesterday,
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:49
			the month of Ramadan is upon us of
the year 1442 After the Hijra of
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:56
			our Prophet so I sell them and
since Ramadan was prescribed by
		
00:00:56 --> 00:01:00
			last panel Tada in the second year
after the Hijrah. So it has been
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:07
			approximately or this is the 1400
and 41st Approximately Ramadan
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:12
			that the OMA is participating in
and commemorating and availing
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:18
			itself of the many blessings and
the baraka and then never had and
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:22
			the mercies that comes
specifically in this ninth month
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:24
			of the Islamic year.
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:31
			And this is no small
accomplishment. And it's no small
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:37
			feat, really, to think about in
terms of the great blessing that
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:43
			Allah subhanaw taala has bestowed
upon us, that communities for 1440
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:43
			years,
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:49
			faster this plus a month, have
stood in the evening or at night
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:55
			in prayer, and in recitation of
the Quran, and in the ponderings
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:59
			of the meanings of the Glorious
Quran.
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:03
			And this has been going on for
over a millennia.
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:07
			And it is a great blessing that we
can be part of that. And we can
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:09
			participate in that and for how
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:15
			ever number of years that we live,
and how number of Ramadan's that
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:21
			we see whether they become 40, or
50, or 60. Year, we are really,
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:25
			really fortunate to be just a
small part of that, and a small
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:29
			part in a sense of overall picture
of Ramadan, but also a great part
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:34
			for our own individual mercy, our
own individual forgiveness from
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:37
			Allah subhanaw taala. And in sha
Allah, our own individual
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:43
			deliverance to the gates of
paradise, and to be delivered away
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:46
			from the gates of hellfire. And as
the Prophet SAW said, and
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:49
			mentioned in this plus a month,
this is the month that the gates
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:55
			of heaven are cast open, and the
gates of * far close shot, and
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:57
			that the demonic forces are
chained.
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:03
			So far, they also say that Israel
team in this blessed and beautiful
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:08
			month. So we congratulate the
Allah, we congratulate Muslims
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:14
			worldwide, and we congratulate
ourselves that we have made it and
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:17
			we thank Allah subhanaw taala that
He has blessed us to at least
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:22
			witness the beginning of this
blessed month. And so I wanted to
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:27
			take the opportunity in one of the
first of the recessions to talk
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:31
			about some of the merits of
Ramadan, and to talk about some of
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:39
			the aspects of this very specific
spiritual training that we undergo
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:43
			in this blessed month of Ramadan.
And we know that the month of
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:48
			Ramadan, and the fasting is not
merely about hunger and thirst for
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:50
			the promise house and I'm sad
little basalt. I mean they seven
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:56
			so yummy illa elgiva latesh. And
he said, some are the ones who are
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:58
			fasting or perhaps the one who was
fasting has nothing more than
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:04
			fasting except hunger and thirst.
And Allah subhanaw taala has
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:08
			indicated in the verse of the
Quran in surah baqarah Yeah,
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:09

			before you so that you may find
Taqwa so that we reached out. And
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:29
			the specific Hadith I also wanted
to share.

			will not be human enough.
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:36
			So part of a longer Hadith and the
theme for these three sessions,
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:40
			talking about the beginning of the
month as mercy and the middle of
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:45
			the month as forgiveness month
Farah, and the last of the month,
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:50
			as deliverance or emancipation
from the hellfire. And this hadith
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:56
			was narrated by Salman at Pharisee
Radi Allahu Anhu where he said
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:59
			that the messenger Lasar, Selim,
in the last day of Chavez said to
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:02
			the people, uns or people
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:06
			has come upon you or will soon
come upon you this great month,
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:10
			this blessed month, this month
that one night in it is better
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:15
			than 1000 months ago to further
the province was referring to, he
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:18
			has made his fasting and
obligation. And he has made it
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:20
			standing in prayer at night,
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:26
			voluntary meritorious act, whoever
comes close
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:32
			to Allah subhanaw taala from
something of good, like someone
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:34
			who does a obligatory act
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:39
			in other than the month of
Ramadan. So, if you offer
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:43
			something that is voluntary the
month of Ramadan, then it has the
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:47
			reward of something that is like
something that's obligatory in
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:50
			another month. And we know that
the word for the obligatory is
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:54
			always more than the reward for
the voluntary woman at the fee for
		
00:07:54 --> 00:07:57
			either and whoever does something
that is a font that is obligatory
		
00:07:57 --> 00:08:01
			in of itself, then it's like you
did 70 of those same acts in
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:05
			another month. So this is what we
call them hold off until ADGER,
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:08
			which we'll talk about in a
second. So the increase in
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:11
			blessings and increase in reward
from Allah subhanaw taala, and it
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:15
			is the month of patients. And the
reward of patients is paradise.
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:21
			And it is a month of sympathy and
consolation. And it is a month
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:26
			that the sustenance of the
believer is increased. Whoever
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:31
			prepares the meal for a fasting
person or feeds a fasting person,
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:36
			then this will be a forgiveness of
their sins. And it will be an
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:40
			emancipation or deliverance of
themselves from the fire. And he
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:47
			will have a similar reward to the
one that was fasting without the
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:50
			one who was fasting losing any of
that reward. So it's like you
		
00:08:50 --> 00:08:54
			fasted for yourself and you fasted
for the other person when you feed
		
00:08:54 --> 00:08:55
			them to break their fast.
		
00:08:57 --> 00:08:59
			And then some of them said of the
Sahaba they said Not everyone can
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:04
			find what we have enough to feed a
fasting person. In other words, we
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:05
			barely have enough for ourselves.
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:10
			The prophesy centum responded in
in response
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:15
			that Allah subhanaw taala gives
this reward for someone even who
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:16
			gives a date,
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:19
			a tomato, or a
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:28
			even Shabbat or just a mouthful of
water, or even a taste of milk.
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:32
			And it is a month that it's
beginning his mercy, that it's
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:36
			middle is Malhotra or forgiveness
and that it's ending is
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:41
			emancipation or deliverance from
the hellfire. Whoever lightens the
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:47
			load of their servant or their
bond. Bonds people will have their
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:51
			sins forgiven. And we'll be
emancipated from the hellfire. And
		
00:09:51 --> 00:09:56
			then he said what stuck up him and
about his art. And he urged the
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:59
			people that you increase from four
things
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:04
			from four merits, two of them that
you will please your Lord, and two
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:06
			of them that you
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:10
			will be unable to suffice without,
		
00:10:11 --> 00:10:16
			as for the two that will please
your Lord, for shahada Illallah
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:21
			so to the shahada, that there is
no God but Allah subhanaw taala
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:25
			What does still feel Runa and to
seek forgiveness from Allah
		
00:10:25 --> 00:10:29
			subhanaw taala and as for the two
that you cannot suffice without
		
00:10:29 --> 00:10:33
			that you cannot do without that
you should ask Allah paradise and
		
00:10:33 --> 00:10:38
			that you should seek refuge from
the hellfire. So many of the
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:42
			themes that we saw in this hadith
are our themes of the deen in
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:44
			general and
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:49
			fasting even though it comes the
fall that comes one month out of
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:53
			the year, it is from the pillars
of Islam. So when the province or
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:56
			send them was asked about Islam in
the Hadith Jibreel of
		
00:10:56 --> 00:11:00
			Christianity, Islam, the Prophet
SAW, Selim mentioned as one of the
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:04
			five we'll see I'm gonna move on,
I went to some Ramadan. Also
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:09
			Ramadan, too fast the month of
Ramadan. So when we say pillar,
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:13
			right when he said Booney al Islam
Allah comes right in the other
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:17
			Hadith Guney al Islam Allah comes,
Islam has been built upon five
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:20
			things are five pillars. So in
other words, if you were to take
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:26
			this pillar away, and let's call
it a building, the building of
		
00:11:26 --> 00:11:30
			your deen of your personal Deen,
then you'd be missing apart. You'd
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:34
			be missing something that would be
the foundation of your deen. And
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:40
			so, we also know from this Sharia
that it is all new, and nothing of
		
00:11:40 --> 00:11:45
			Netcom there is nothing in our
acts of worship or ritual acts of
		
00:11:45 --> 00:11:49
			worship or in the Sharia itself.
That is there is a punishment, or
		
00:11:49 --> 00:11:54
			is there as Allah subhanaw taala
seeking retribution upon us Pasha,
		
00:11:54 --> 00:12:00
			Allah subhanaw taala holds a photo
Rahim. Vox, his name's also full
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:03
			of our Rahim He is the author of
giving and He is the Most Merciful
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:08
			and he does not need to punish us
in this way. So then it is for our
		
00:12:08 --> 00:12:12
			own benefit. The Sharia Muhammad
sorry, Selim there's nothing in it
		
00:12:12 --> 00:12:17
			except there is a benefit for the
one who follows it. And for the
		
00:12:17 --> 00:12:21
			ones who who takes the Sunnah and
the ways and the
		
00:12:22 --> 00:12:25
			practices of the province or send
them as their own personal
		
00:12:25 --> 00:12:31
			practice. So that means there is a
great great meaning attached to
		
00:12:31 --> 00:12:34
			fasting, a great great meaning
attached to the month of Ramadan.
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:38
			And it's done over 30 days over 29
days. And it's done as a
		
00:12:38 --> 00:12:39
			community.
		
00:12:40 --> 00:12:45
			All of us all of the Muslims
worldwide are doing it relatively
		
00:12:45 --> 00:12:48
			or approximately at the same time
within a day or two of one
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:53
			another. So, there is a very
strong communal factor to Ramadan.
		
00:12:54 --> 00:12:55
			And the Prophet SAW Selim
		
00:12:56 --> 00:13:00
			prayed the TM for a number of days
he prayed the thought that we are
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:03
			with the Sahaba with the
companions and say normal later
		
00:13:03 --> 00:13:04
			reinstituted
		
00:13:05 --> 00:13:10
			as a as a practice, so communal
prayers together in the evenings,
		
00:13:10 --> 00:13:13
			where one can do it with the
community and one can also in
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:17
			addition, or as a substitute can
also pray by themselves.
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:21
			And as the Hadith mentions, it's
not all work, right? It's
		
00:13:21 --> 00:13:26
			something that's voluntary. And
though it is voluntary, it was
		
00:13:26 --> 00:13:29
			something that the prophet the
prophesy seven was exhorted to do
		
00:13:29 --> 00:13:32
			by Allah subhanaw taala. Yeah,
human wisdom and formulae that
		
00:13:32 --> 00:13:35
			Kalida and this well, one could
spend we'll call the the older two
		
00:13:35 --> 00:13:38
			that deals with auditing Quran
Zadara he wanted to look for an
		
00:13:38 --> 00:13:42
			authority law. You will resemble
the one who was wrapped up when
		
00:13:42 --> 00:13:46
			the prophesy centum came back from
the encounter he had with Gibreel
		
00:13:46 --> 00:13:49
			in Iraq for the first time. Canon
was Zamberlan he had something
		
00:13:49 --> 00:13:51
			like this and wrapped around him.
		
00:13:52 --> 00:13:56
			So Allah subhanaw taala dressing
the Prophet SAW Selim UN was them
		
00:13:56 --> 00:13:56
			will
		
00:13:57 --> 00:14:01
			call me later Illa kalila stand in
the light except a little bit.
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:05
			Miss for her well, Kosmo kalila
Oh, is it alayhi wa octiline
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:06
			Khurana Tata.
		
00:14:08 --> 00:14:11
			So recite half of the night or a
third of light or more than that,
		
00:14:11 --> 00:14:12
			if you can
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:15
			Inessa nuclear legal covenants.
		
00:14:16 --> 00:14:20
			Right, we will give you this heavy
word. On Athena, the words of the
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:24
			Quran. In the nursery at the lady
here are shallow water, Aqua
		
00:14:24 --> 00:14:28
			mohila. And then their share of
the lake, a shallow water.
		
00:14:30 --> 00:14:35
			The nature of delay, the ritual
practice of the night is more
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:41
			impactful. It's more penetrative.
It has greater power than that of
		
00:14:41 --> 00:14:45
			the day. Welcoming, cleaner, more
impactful on the spirit of the
		
00:14:45 --> 00:14:49
			human being. And so there are
certain night practices. We look
		
00:14:49 --> 00:14:53
			at the contrast of the day in the
night and the Ramadan. We see that
		
00:14:54 --> 00:14:59
			it's almost like flipped the
opposite of what we usually do. So
		
00:14:59 --> 00:14:59
			the day is about
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:04
			To not doing certain things,
right, it's about not eating. It's
		
00:15:04 --> 00:15:07
			about not drinking. It's not about
not taking part in intimate
		
00:15:07 --> 00:15:11
			relation with one spouse. But it's
about
		
00:15:12 --> 00:15:16
			being in such a state. We call
this malarkey state, this angelic
		
00:15:16 --> 00:15:21
			state, so that one may also be
prepared for the night, where the
		
00:15:21 --> 00:15:25
			action of the night now is
different. So rather than devoting
		
00:15:25 --> 00:15:29
			the night to sleep, we devote the
night to reflection and to
		
00:15:29 --> 00:15:33
			contemplation and to thicker, and
to clear me lay, and to standing
		
00:15:33 --> 00:15:37
			in the light. And standing in the
night, the light and the night,
		
00:15:37 --> 00:15:41
			the light of the night, and
standing and receiving the the
		
00:15:41 --> 00:15:44
			many blessings, the Marriott
blessings from Allah subhanaw
		
00:15:44 --> 00:15:47
			taala, that are described that are
specific to the night as we saw in
		
00:15:47 --> 00:15:51
			that verse from certain resemble,
in the nursery at the lane, higher
		
00:15:51 --> 00:15:54
			a shallow water aquat Maquila and
what that means, how something
		
00:15:54 --> 00:15:58
			that you walk over how impactful
it is upon you. So it's more
		
00:15:58 --> 00:16:04
			impactful those, that prayer of
the night. And one of the
		
00:16:04 --> 00:16:08
			principles of, of the path to a
lost battle to Allah is to be in a
		
00:16:08 --> 00:16:12
			state of piety or to be in a state
of prayer or to be in a state of
		
00:16:12 --> 00:16:16
			remembrance, while others are not.
In other words, to be going
		
00:16:16 --> 00:16:17
			against the,
		
00:16:18 --> 00:16:22
			the predominant or the prevailing,
sentiment or culture of your
		
00:16:22 --> 00:16:27
			society. And so for most people,
night is the time of sleep. And
		
00:16:27 --> 00:16:30
			night is the time of of law. Night
is the time of
		
00:16:32 --> 00:16:36
			this remembrance night as the time
of remissness. Night is the time
		
00:16:36 --> 00:16:39
			of trying to
		
00:16:40 --> 00:16:49
			fit in as much of partaking in
carnal and physical the lightest
		
00:16:49 --> 00:16:53
			possible before the the routine of
the next day comes about. But in
		
00:16:53 --> 00:16:57
			Ramadan, we change that culture,
there's a different culture
		
00:16:57 --> 00:17:01
			instituted or different culture
that we aim to institute. So, we
		
00:17:01 --> 00:17:05
			have this culture of tranquility
and serenity and
		
00:17:07 --> 00:17:10
			self sufficiency, doing without
food and drink and otherwise
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:14
			during the day, and then when the
night comes upon us, we allow
		
00:17:14 --> 00:17:18
			ourselves to soak in the meanings
of mercy and the meanings of
		
00:17:18 --> 00:17:20
			forgiveness and the meaning of
deliverance,
		
00:17:21 --> 00:17:27
			that you will be in a in a, in a
heightened state to receive more
		
00:17:27 --> 00:17:31
			than you were, if you were not
fasting. So, think of the fasting
		
00:17:31 --> 00:17:33
			as a way as a
		
00:17:34 --> 00:17:38
			as a weight or a standard to put
yourself in preparation. And then
		
00:17:38 --> 00:17:42
			with that preparation comes the
the cleansing preparation, then
		
00:17:42 --> 00:17:43
			comes the part of
		
00:17:45 --> 00:17:50
			harvesting the fruits that will
come when that is is prepared well
		
00:17:50 --> 00:17:52
			enough. So think about,
		
00:17:53 --> 00:17:55
			for example, the
		
00:17:56 --> 00:17:58
			preparing a field
		
00:17:59 --> 00:18:03
			to be to be farmed or to be
planted, there takes a little bit
		
00:18:03 --> 00:18:06
			of tilling and it takes a bit of a
preparation, then the seeds are
		
00:18:06 --> 00:18:09
			planted and then you irrigate it
but then once this preparation
		
00:18:09 --> 00:18:13
			takes place, then the plants can
grow and the trees can grow and
		
00:18:13 --> 00:18:17
			then they can bear fruit. And many
have also mentioned that this is
		
00:18:17 --> 00:18:22
			the state of Tasmania called Black
Dahlia or the holly cobbler to
		
00:18:22 --> 00:18:28
			Holly. So to have the means to
empty oneself of a removal of
		
00:18:28 --> 00:18:32
			obstacles and removal advice and
removal of encumbrances, that
		
00:18:32 --> 00:18:36
			otherwise would prevent you from
availing yourself of the of the
		
00:18:36 --> 00:18:41
			distinct Mercy of Allah subhanaw
taala. So there's two types of
		
00:18:41 --> 00:18:44
			mercies that come from the last
panel data. And they're both
		
00:18:44 --> 00:18:45
			mentioned in this verse.
		
00:18:47 --> 00:18:49
			That I want to recite to you
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:55
			what I've met he was Aquila shape
first actually lady Leia takuna we
		
00:18:56 --> 00:19:00
			will let you know who we mean and
let's unite everyone in the view
		
00:19:00 --> 00:19:05
			of me Captech millet, okra while
I've met he was the art cooler
		
00:19:05 --> 00:19:09
			shape. And my mercy has
encompassed everything.
		
00:19:10 --> 00:19:13
			Here shape is the most
		
00:19:17 --> 00:19:19
			or simplest way to refer to
everything
		
00:19:20 --> 00:19:24
			or it was Coalition. We even say
if you Muhammad Salim Allah who
		
00:19:24 --> 00:19:29
			shaped you know a thing. So the
Mercy of Allah has encompassed all
		
00:19:29 --> 00:19:33
			things. All things have been
encompassed by the mercy of Allah
		
00:19:33 --> 00:19:35
			subhanaw taala This is called the
		
00:19:37 --> 00:19:41
			the mercy that encompasses all and
some have referred this back to
		
00:19:41 --> 00:19:45
			suffer to ramen or Ismail ramen.
So one of the names of Allah
		
00:19:45 --> 00:19:49
			subhanaw taala the proper names is
on ramen, political Allah with a
		
00:19:49 --> 00:19:52
			ramen effect you know method to
fatherhood Ismail Husna call upon
		
00:19:52 --> 00:19:57
			Allah call upon Allah ramen, the
two proper names of Allah subhanaw
		
00:19:57 --> 00:20:00
			taala and he is the one that has
all of it as
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:03
			Metal has never really laid as
metal has now call upon either
		
00:20:03 --> 00:20:06
			one. And these are considered the
proper names that encompass
		
00:20:07 --> 00:20:10
			all of the attributes of Allah
subhanaw taala. So Allah loves OG
		
00:20:10 --> 00:20:14
			Allah is set to encompass all of
the attributes of Allah subhanaw
		
00:20:14 --> 00:20:18
			taala. Second only to that is, is
a ramen.
		
00:20:19 --> 00:20:23
			And even the pagan Arabs during
the time of the Prophet SAW Selim,
		
00:20:23 --> 00:20:25
			they didn't know what this ramen
meant it was it was like a new
		
00:20:25 --> 00:20:29
			word to them. They weren't aware
of what it meant. And when, when
		
00:20:29 --> 00:20:33
			the Prophet SAW Selim would begin
matters by saying Bismillah AR
		
00:20:33 --> 00:20:36
			Rahman AR Rahim. They said who is
this Rama that you're referring
		
00:20:36 --> 00:20:39
			to? Because they knew the word
Allah, they knew the name of Allah
		
00:20:39 --> 00:20:42
			and they would say Bismillah
Bismillah Allahu Akbar is how they
		
00:20:42 --> 00:20:44
			would write their documents and
how they would start their
		
00:20:44 --> 00:20:49
			matters. Bismillah Allahu Allah by
the name of Allah O Allah. And
		
00:20:49 --> 00:20:53
			then Allah subhanaw taala revealed
this other name of his ramen. And
		
00:20:53 --> 00:20:56
			so this gives you an indication
that we're often at
		
00:20:57 --> 00:20:59
			the mercy of Allah subhanaw taala
is the
		
00:21:02 --> 00:21:07
			kind of overarching theme of the
divine nature in this world and in
		
00:21:07 --> 00:21:08
			the next world, Rama
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:14
			Well, I met he was Aquila shape.
Then in the second part of the
		
00:21:14 --> 00:21:18
			verse festa activo Haley lady nya

			for Sakura whoo ha the Latina

			will decree it. For those who show
Taqwa our Latina tacos are those I
		
00:21:29 --> 00:21:34
			should say practice Taqwa. Ladino
Yatta code. This, they said is a
		
00:21:34 --> 00:21:38
			more distinctive type of mercy
that is specific to the believers.
		
00:21:39 --> 00:21:43
			And it's specific to the Motoki
and specific to the Masini. Right
		
00:21:43 --> 00:21:47
			Allah has filed for also says in
the Quran in Naramata, Allah EBO
		
00:21:47 --> 00:21:48
			Meenal mercy mean?
		
00:21:49 --> 00:21:53
			The law have Allah subhanaw taala
is Cody but right as close to the
		
00:21:53 --> 00:21:56
			Mercy mean, so when will Tokina
and Marcy Nina meaning
		
00:21:58 --> 00:22:03
			I will move to clean all of those
groups right and under generally
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:06
			attributes and could be of the
same person, they are the ones
		
00:22:06 --> 00:22:11
			these are the keys by which we can
unlock Varaha of a Rahim.
		
00:22:12 --> 00:22:15
			So some of the professorial said
the Rahim the aspect of Rahim
		
00:22:15 --> 00:22:20
			refers to this very specific Rama
that is for the believers. So, the
		
00:22:20 --> 00:22:23
			Rama of Allah subhanaw taala is
always there the general Rama Rama
		
00:22:23 --> 00:22:27
			Murthy was had Coalition and the
Rama in the nature that is
		
00:22:27 --> 00:22:30
			distinctive to the believers is
always there. But in the month of
		
00:22:30 --> 00:22:35
			Ramadan, there is something very
specific about that particular
		
00:22:35 --> 00:22:39
			Rama that we find in the month of
Ramadan that we can avail
		
00:22:39 --> 00:22:43
			ourselves of and this Rama it's it
can be unlocked.
		
00:22:44 --> 00:22:48
			The key to it is observing the
month of Allah, Freeman Shahid
		
00:22:48 --> 00:22:49
			Amin, comer shahada failures from
		
00:22:51 --> 00:22:53
			over witnesses, the month of
Ramadan, over is there in the
		
00:22:53 --> 00:23:00
			month of failure some let them
fast to unlock the never had the
		
00:23:00 --> 00:23:06
			gentle breezes and associated
blessings that come with the Rama
		
00:23:06 --> 00:23:10
			of Ramadan, that Allah smart Allah
allows us to avail ourselves of
		
00:23:10 --> 00:23:15
			one we observe this blessed month.
And fasting then is one of those
		
00:23:15 --> 00:23:15
			keys
		
00:23:17 --> 00:23:20
			as we see from the Hadith that we
also just narrated this month is
		
00:23:20 --> 00:23:22
			also called the month of Saba
		
00:23:24 --> 00:23:27
			the month of patience, the month
of forbearance, the month of
		
00:23:27 --> 00:23:32
			fortitude. So by being patient
with this command of Allah
		
00:23:32 --> 00:23:38
			subhanaw taala by being patient
with this process of the family,
		
00:23:39 --> 00:23:42
			right the family is hard work, the
family means you removing advice,
		
00:23:42 --> 00:23:44
			the family means that you are
		
00:23:45 --> 00:23:50
			going against the general nature
of yourself, right, which looks
		
00:23:50 --> 00:23:54
			towards self preservation, and
which looks towards
		
00:23:55 --> 00:24:00
			taking part in anything that is
delightful and pleasing, and
		
00:24:02 --> 00:24:07
			delicious and an easy. These are
what the things that the neffs the
		
00:24:07 --> 00:24:11
			lower soul craves. And by denying
the neffs these things during the
		
00:24:11 --> 00:24:15
			day of Ramadan, then that which
was marginalized by the neffs,
		
00:24:16 --> 00:24:19
			that which was taking a backseat
to the neffs now has the
		
00:24:19 --> 00:24:22
			opportunity to be at the
forefront. And what I'm talking
		
00:24:22 --> 00:24:27
			about here is that Maliki, that in
Sani right, that angelic, higher
		
00:24:27 --> 00:24:33
			human form of ourselves, namely
our spirit, then can avail itself
		
00:24:33 --> 00:24:38
			of all of these blessings that are
there. And it is only by this
		
00:24:38 --> 00:24:41
			encumbering neffs right that the
Prophet SAW Selim described into
		
00:24:41 --> 00:24:45
			Hadith that our dual kind of suka
let you manage and make that the
		
00:24:45 --> 00:24:49
			worst enemy that you have is this
neffs that is part of you. This is
		
00:24:49 --> 00:24:52
			what keeps you from seeing all
those things. And so by this
		
00:24:52 --> 00:24:56
			process of 29 and 30 days, this
what we can call it I'll say an
		
00:24:56 --> 00:24:59
			intensive program of the highly
then in short
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:04
			Allah we can enjoy that the Halle
of the nights of Ramadan to
		
00:25:04 --> 00:25:05
			highlight and is taking in the
		
00:25:07 --> 00:25:11
			the Vanessa hat and the blessings
and the meanings and and so forth.
		
00:25:11 --> 00:25:18
			And this means that we do not just
substitute all of the things that
		
00:25:18 --> 00:25:21
			we used to do during the day and
then put them at night right so it
		
00:25:21 --> 00:25:24
			doesn't mean that you know we
spend the day in sleep and then at
		
00:25:24 --> 00:25:29
			night we spend the day in eating
and then do the same thing. No,
		
00:25:30 --> 00:25:34
			Ramadan is not supposed to be a
month of less production. Also,
		
00:25:34 --> 00:25:37
			some people aren't the impression
well you know, going to take it
		
00:25:37 --> 00:25:40
			easy at work and I don't have to
do as hard work as much. But
		
00:25:40 --> 00:25:42
			Ramadan came the grateful to have
that.
		
00:25:44 --> 00:25:49
			That's what Beth was the 17th of
Ramadan for Tameka was in Ramadan
		
00:25:51 --> 00:25:53
			Jubilee that he said, I'm going to
the province twice and review the
		
00:25:53 --> 00:25:58
			Quran with him all of it was in
Ramadan. So Ramadan is not
		
00:25:58 --> 00:26:02
			supposed to be a month of less
production as it were or less
		
00:26:02 --> 00:26:08
			doing or being remissed in your
other obligations. Ramadan is not
		
00:26:08 --> 00:26:13
			an excuse to be more irritable, or
to be less forgiving, or to
		
00:26:15 --> 00:26:20
			be more coarse and austere in your
relationships with people because
		
00:26:20 --> 00:26:21
			you use the excuse, oh, I'm
fasting.
		
00:26:22 --> 00:26:25
			Ramadan is not the month either
that we seek more accommodations
		
00:26:25 --> 00:26:28
			for those from those who don't
understand what about God. No
		
00:26:28 --> 00:26:32
			Ramadan is about being better than
you ever were. And being better
		
00:26:32 --> 00:26:35
			than you are during the rest of
the year. You can be more
		
00:26:35 --> 00:26:39
			productive, you can be more
insightful. You can be more
		
00:26:39 --> 00:26:39
			soulful.
		
00:26:40 --> 00:26:42
			You can be more
		
00:26:44 --> 00:26:47
			compassionate, more merciful,
which you should be all of these
		
00:26:47 --> 00:26:50
			things in the month of Ramadan. So
it's not something that we just
		
00:26:50 --> 00:26:52
			want to get through and get over
with. And then we get back to
		
00:26:52 --> 00:26:57
			normal. We want Ramadan to
introduce a new normal to us, this
		
00:26:57 --> 00:27:01
			new normal that is informed by
unlocking the keys of mercy that
		
00:27:01 --> 00:27:05
			are very specific to this plus it
and an Mobarak
		
00:27:06 --> 00:27:11
			and wonderful and fortuitous
month. So
		
00:27:13 --> 00:27:18
			some of the themes that I want to
talk about in terms of mercy,
		
00:27:19 --> 00:27:22
			specifically to this month, and we
said there's two types of mercy.
		
00:27:22 --> 00:27:26
			There's the mercy that encompasses
all that believer or non believer
		
00:27:26 --> 00:27:29
			enjoy. And then there's the mercy
that is specific to the believers.
		
00:27:30 --> 00:27:33
			Then there are these types of
verses that become even more
		
00:27:33 --> 00:27:38
			specific in the month of Ramadan.
And amongst those mercies for
		
00:27:38 --> 00:27:39
			example.
		
00:27:40 --> 00:27:44
			In the Hadith of the Prophet SAW
Selim the whole of femicide, I
		
00:27:44 --> 00:27:48
			mean Arthur Vandala, human and
misc that the smell of the fasting
		
00:27:48 --> 00:27:54
			person of their mouth is ultra
yob. Alright is more beautiful is
		
00:27:54 --> 00:28:00
			better than the smell of musk and
the sounds like kind of simple
		
00:28:00 --> 00:28:04
			words simple Hadith but the
meaning is deep and it's saying
		
00:28:04 --> 00:28:07
			that even though you suffer this
perhaps
		
00:28:09 --> 00:28:12
			you know when you don't eat all
day and then your you know your
		
00:28:12 --> 00:28:16
			kind of stomach is empty and you
don't have a chance to wet your
		
00:28:16 --> 00:28:19
			your tongue and your throat and
smell may come out from from the
		
00:28:19 --> 00:28:22
			stomach and that's not very
actually pleasant.
		
00:28:23 --> 00:28:28
			Man highschool Zaha right from
from the unsensible aspect. But
		
00:28:28 --> 00:28:32
			according to Allah subhanaw taala
when high football Tynwald Haqiqa
		
00:28:33 --> 00:28:34
			right looking at it from
		
00:28:36 --> 00:28:40
			from its other perspective and its
other aspects of formal Hatha Yoga
		
00:28:40 --> 00:28:45
			from its inner reality, the
ultimate woman and misc, it is
		
00:28:45 --> 00:28:49
			more pleasant and it is more sweet
smelling than the smell of mosque.
		
00:28:49 --> 00:28:53
			This is a very specific mercy that
comes to the fasting person
		
00:28:54 --> 00:28:57
			and the promises and also said the
* forgotten.
		
00:28:59 --> 00:29:02
			Forgotten and the several
forgotten and if three or four of
		
00:29:02 --> 00:29:06
			them if not default, and Robbie
for the saw him there is to
		
00:29:07 --> 00:29:09
			happiness is that they will find
happiness when they break their
		
00:29:09 --> 00:29:13
			fast and happiness when they meet
the Lord. And so this is also an
		
00:29:13 --> 00:29:17
			indication there's another type of
fasting. Right, not just the AMI
		
00:29:18 --> 00:29:21
			and Mufasa Rothwell Matt Goulet.
But there's those things that
		
00:29:21 --> 00:29:25
			according to the jurors break our
fast, but also those things that
		
00:29:25 --> 00:29:29
			will raise us in degrees and the
Day of Judgment.
		
00:29:30 --> 00:29:35
			Some of them said so Muda, fast
for all of time, and then break
		
00:29:35 --> 00:29:40
			your fast in the next life, which
means live a life of restraint
		
00:29:40 --> 00:29:46
			live a life of temperance, live a
life of EFA and and piety and
		
00:29:46 --> 00:29:50
			ethos, right and altruism,
preferring that which Allah loves
		
00:29:50 --> 00:29:54
			over what you love, fast in that
matter in the dunya and then you
		
00:29:54 --> 00:29:59
			will find more than you ever
expected in the next life. And
		
00:29:59 --> 00:29:59
			this is a higher form of
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:03
			fasting, what a mammal has
referred to as the first thing of
		
00:30:03 --> 00:30:09
			how subtle hustle of personal
social muscles. So the higher form
		
00:30:09 --> 00:30:12
			of the highest form of fasting is
to fast from everything that this
		
00:30:12 --> 00:30:17
			is you busy, busy is you or makes
you busy or distracts you from the
		
00:30:17 --> 00:30:21
			remembrance of Allah subhanaw
taala. And so that would mean a
		
00:30:21 --> 00:30:25
			maraca, a vigilance of the eyes
and vigilance of the ears and even
		
00:30:25 --> 00:30:29
			eventually vigilance of one's
thoughts. So to have more alphabet
		
00:30:29 --> 00:30:33
			to have vigilance even on the
level of your thoughts, and
		
00:30:35 --> 00:30:36
			in order to do this
		
00:30:37 --> 00:30:42
			one must have tofield and one must
have a and he there. Yeah, one
		
00:30:42 --> 00:30:45
			must have divine success from
Allah subhanaw taala. One must
		
00:30:45 --> 00:30:49
			have divine guidance from Allah
subhanaw taala and one must have
		
00:30:49 --> 00:30:54
			also this other thing we call an
ENFJ. an ENFJ means a special
		
00:30:54 --> 00:30:58
			considerate care from Allah Spano.
Tada, so the month of Ramadan is
		
00:30:58 --> 00:31:03
			also the month to avail yourself
of this alien Casa and Anya Isla
		
00:31:03 --> 00:31:07
			here, right so that everything
that you hear everything that you
		
00:31:07 --> 00:31:13
			see will be of you the prism of
the divine command, and the divine
		
00:31:13 --> 00:31:19
			will. And you know, just think
about the verse in the Quran with
		
00:31:19 --> 00:31:20
			koroni as corkum
		
00:31:21 --> 00:31:24
			of Caroni Of course, remember me
and I remember you
		
00:31:26 --> 00:31:29
			there's no fast in between these
two words in the Quran, doesn't
		
00:31:29 --> 00:31:35
			say have Qurani well as Coco, for
scrutiny as Qualcomm, any job
		
00:31:35 --> 00:31:39
			talab in Arabic, so it's a direct
response to your dhikr of Allah
		
00:31:39 --> 00:31:42
			subhanaw taala then is Allah's
vicar of you?
		
00:31:44 --> 00:31:47
			You remembering Allah is Allah
remembering you. And Allah also
		
00:31:47 --> 00:31:51
			says in the Quran, you have boom
or your buena, who, as we know,
		
00:31:51 --> 00:31:56
			isn't caffeine. You're a boomer,
you're a boomer who you have boom,
		
00:31:57 --> 00:32:02
			will have buena. He loves them,
and they love him. Your Love of
		
00:32:02 --> 00:32:03
			Allah is Allah love of you.
		
00:32:04 --> 00:32:07
			Your Love of Allah subhanaw taala
means that Allah loves you,
		
00:32:07 --> 00:32:09
			because he puts you in your heart,
your love of Allah subhanaw taala.
		
00:32:10 --> 00:32:14
			This is from I believe, some of
the meanings of eignet and some of
		
00:32:14 --> 00:32:18
			the meanings of hayday and tofi
and some of the meanings of the
		
00:32:18 --> 00:32:23
			vast, vast mercy that we can avail
ourselves of this blessed blessed
		
00:32:23 --> 00:32:28
			month. And we should also remember
that this month, even though there
		
00:32:28 --> 00:32:33
			is great opportunity for personal
piety, and personal spiritual
		
00:32:33 --> 00:32:36
			development, that it is an awesome
opportunity as the Prophet SAW
		
00:32:36 --> 00:32:41
			said him in the Hadith. Earlier we
mentioned Shalom OSA. OSA means
		
00:32:41 --> 00:32:45
			sympathy and consolation to
others. One of the meanings of
		
00:32:45 --> 00:32:48
			Ramadan is that when we feel
hunger in our bellies, we get some
		
00:32:48 --> 00:32:51
			indication of how other people
feel who go hungry every day. And
		
00:32:51 --> 00:32:55
			there are many, many people who
who are in this predicament. And
		
00:32:55 --> 00:33:01
			so Ramadan gives you the
opportunity to share in what they
		
00:33:01 --> 00:33:04
			feel and when you share and what
they feel, then you will be more
		
00:33:04 --> 00:33:07
			compassionate and more and more
soulful towards them. And just as
		
00:33:07 --> 00:33:11
			important the fasting Ramadan and
we saw that second part of Hadith
		
00:33:11 --> 00:33:18
			men Fatah rasa Eman. Whoever feeds
a fasting person, right whoever
		
00:33:18 --> 00:33:23
			even with a drop of water or a
small glass of water or even one
		
00:33:23 --> 00:33:25
			date, or even a taste of milk,
		
00:33:26 --> 00:33:29
			then we'll have this great, great
rewards in Ramadan, many many
		
00:33:29 --> 00:33:34
			times over then one can imagine
7700 Even more, everything is
		
00:33:34 --> 00:33:36
			milled off, everything is
increased in this
		
00:33:38 --> 00:33:43
			last month of Ramadan. And so we
should also focus as well on our
		
00:33:43 --> 00:33:45
			relationships with our fellow
human beings.
		
00:33:47 --> 00:33:50
			If we have not made the intention
to forgive everyone that we have
		
00:33:50 --> 00:33:52
			an issue with from the beginning
of the month, then we can still do
		
00:33:52 --> 00:33:55
			it now. And we can still do it in
the middle of the month and we can
		
00:33:55 --> 00:33:57
			still do it at the end of the
month. And we can still do it
		
00:33:57 --> 00:34:02
			after the month is over. But one
of those keys to unlocking this
		
00:34:02 --> 00:34:07
			AMA and these are ahamed very
specific to specific people is to
		
00:34:07 --> 00:34:10
			forgive everyone who has wronged
you is to let bygones be bygones
		
00:34:10 --> 00:34:14
			is not to hold a grudge,
especially amongst Sonata rhyme.
		
00:34:16 --> 00:34:20
			There is a direct proportional
connection between ciliata RAM and
		
00:34:20 --> 00:34:25
			our Hamet. A ram means the womb in
the Hadith that is Saha that is
		
00:34:25 --> 00:34:26
			narrated by a mammoth Tirmidhi
		
00:34:28 --> 00:34:32
			and others. Allah Subhana Allah
says Al Rahman one a HELOC to
		
00:34:32 --> 00:34:36
			rhyme. Washed up to the hammock is
me Furman masala was all to who
		
00:34:36 --> 00:34:38
			woman kata better to
		
00:34:40 --> 00:34:45
			Allah says I am the ramen. I am a
halacha Rahim I have created the
		
00:34:45 --> 00:34:49
			womb the Rahim which is the same
literal. Try a little route. We're
		
00:34:49 --> 00:34:53
			stuck we're stuck to La Herman
izmi and even mentioned in this
		
00:34:53 --> 00:34:59
			hadith Cozzi and I have derived
the meanings of the Rahim from a
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:05
			robbing from this divine name of
ramen ramen was ALLAH ha. So over
		
00:35:05 --> 00:35:09
			connects r Rahim. In other words
Siddhartha ROM, those who have
		
00:35:09 --> 00:35:14
			some kinship relationship with you
will sell to, that I will extend
		
00:35:14 --> 00:35:19
			my relationship with them, or men
called Raha, but to autofill the
		
00:35:19 --> 00:35:25
			way and whoever cuts that off that
I cut them off. So one of the keys
		
00:35:25 --> 00:35:30
			then also to this drama, is
cylinder, right? This is where our
		
00:35:31 --> 00:35:34
			family ties and our kinship ties
should be increased and should be
		
00:35:34 --> 00:35:39
			focused upon, and to drop all
grudges, and to extend
		
00:35:42 --> 00:35:42
			that
		
00:35:44 --> 00:35:48
			greeting and to extend the hair
the good and to extend the
		
00:35:48 --> 00:35:53
			blessing of Ramadan and, and to
renew these ties of kinship and
		
00:35:53 --> 00:35:56
			these family ties, and not to let
another Ramadan pass, where we
		
00:35:56 --> 00:36:00
			have issues with with our family.
And what are
		
00:36:01 --> 00:36:04
			the most important being your
immediate family, your parents,
		
00:36:04 --> 00:36:07
			your children, brothers and
sisters, but even beyond that,
		
00:36:07 --> 00:36:12
			aunts, uncles, cousins, extended
families in laws, these are all
		
00:36:12 --> 00:36:16
			people who come somehow into the
depths of Siddhartha, ROM, and
		
00:36:16 --> 00:36:20
			even on a greater scale, all of
humanity is one family. All of
		
00:36:20 --> 00:36:23
			humanity is one family, we all
came essentially from the same
		
00:36:23 --> 00:36:27
			womb of our mother Eve and our
father, Adam, are the human set
		
00:36:27 --> 00:36:28
			up. So
		
00:36:29 --> 00:36:33
			you know, avail yourself of these
habits of these mercies. You know,
		
00:36:34 --> 00:36:38
			we want our, you know, our
spiritual preparation and our
		
00:36:38 --> 00:36:43
			spiritual development in this
month to to allow it to operate at
		
00:36:43 --> 00:36:47
			its maximum potential. And so you
could be fasting and you can be
		
00:36:47 --> 00:36:52
			praying, and you can be reciting
many Jews of the Quran. But if you
		
00:36:52 --> 00:36:57
			continue to insist upon not
addressing those issues of family,
		
00:36:57 --> 00:37:01
			kinship, and family ties and leave
them to fester as they are, and
		
00:37:01 --> 00:37:04
			are waiting for the other person
to come to you, rather than you go
		
00:37:04 --> 00:37:07
			to them, then you didn't
completely avail yourself of all
		
00:37:07 --> 00:37:11
			that you can avail yourself of
this particular time and this
		
00:37:11 --> 00:37:16
			wonderful month and this time of
ease and facilitation and Rama and
		
00:37:16 --> 00:37:20
			I've never had any openings. You
want to really avail yourself of
		
00:37:20 --> 00:37:24
			the openings of this blessed
month. Then avail yourself of all
		
00:37:24 --> 00:37:25
			the things that you could be
doing.
		
00:37:27 --> 00:37:31
			With esoterica like the ICS we
can't do it ourselves. We can't do
		
00:37:31 --> 00:37:33
			it all by ourselves. Anything that
we seek with help of Allah
		
00:37:33 --> 00:37:37
			subhanaw taala we facilitated and
anything that we seek only by our
		
00:37:37 --> 00:37:43
			own means will be very difficult
to do. So, the Stan Biller, we
		
00:37:43 --> 00:37:46
			seek only help from Allah subhanaw
taala in all that we do, and all
		
00:37:46 --> 00:37:50
			that we made available to us. In
the Hadith, Erica will call the
		
00:37:50 --> 00:37:54
			rally but hamdu Lillahi Rabbil
Alameen so know that our document
		
00:37:54 --> 00:37:57
			of hypocrisy that if you have the
chakra Mobarak or numeric then if
		
00:37:57 --> 00:38:00
			you have the shot or Karim when
you're the Hubble window cm and
		
00:38:00 --> 00:38:04
			our Clea Mina, one water cooler
and that was to do dinner with
		
00:38:04 --> 00:38:08
			coulomb Asada who, in that video
there were Colorado what hamdu
		
00:38:08 --> 00:38:09
			Lillahi Rabbil Alameen
