hamdulillah the whole salatu salam ala Mala Anna via by the Hoonah Vienna Muhammad Anwar early he was so happy he was so let me let him into Sleeman Kathira mvat All praise due to Allah and His praise and blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, His messengers, his followers and all the messengers and their followers until the day of judgment. I bear witness that Allah is the only one worthy of worship and Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam his last and final messenger, my dear brothers and sisters, as Ramadan approaching us, I thought it will be appropriate for me to remind myself and all of us have a concept that it is important to keep in

mind that as we are approaching the month of Ramadan, a month where there is many opportunities for the believers to come much, much closer to Allah, and to receive so many of Allah's bounties and gifts and breaks. The month of mercy, mercy month of rewards month where the gates of paradise are widely open and the gates of hell are closed, unlocked.

And not acquired from the person to have the attitude of when good is not good enough.

When I strive not just to be good, but to be excellent. And that's attitude. It should be your attitude and life in general. And many people will have this attitude when it comes to worldly matters when it comes to money when it comes to wealth, you know, but also we should have that when it comes to our relationship with Allah with our relationship with God. When it comes to doing good and we compete with one another in goodness. You know, we have in our own here community, we have seen people take an opportunity not to just watch and contribute and do good job and helping our brother and sister for example and Aza

and what happening in Palestine. But do you know what that is other group volunteers put their lives in risk and went out over there to serve doctors and medical staff who put their lives on risk just to help the brothers and sisters over there. That's you know, going above and beyond what is comfortable, convenient or obligated. You know, when you go beyond what's obligated.

You know when you go beyond just five daily prayers and you pray extra prayers beyond fasting the month of Ramadan when you fast more when you recite more of the Quran when you give more of charity when you volunteer your service when you go out of your life out of your way just to help others having the zeal to do more to work towards high level goals in all aspects of life. That's when good is not good enough. It's a questions are you striving for good or excellency? When you make the choice between good or great

you know, between just surviving passing by or thriving and accelerating

me

Making a living or making a life.

You know, it's about my resume and my what I gain in this life or what, what it is about what I give and the legacy that I built.

That extra mile that you take is so unique. As someone said once there is no traffic jams on the extra mile, and very few people take that steps and go to that extra mile and will always appreciate such people. Allah subhanho wa Taala says about Muhammad sal Allahu Allahu alayhi wa sallam called for either ferrata fansub ferrata, Manish frog terminal Ibadah Jota, could hire two law firms Libya, any state actor friend Eva, Allah told Muhammad sallallahu alayhi salam, who his life was completely dedicated to God, to serve Allah and to serve the community and to serve the people.

Allah says to him, so when you have finished your duties, then stand up for the worship and do your Lord, to your Lord, direct your longing. And another word, exhaust yourself in the worship of Allah. Do that extra mile take that extra step? That's why when I started Allah and I was asked how the process of Uppsala kind of women mean commutable salata, Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam Who among you can pray like the Prophet SAW Selim. Look at Kenny OMA Lael hated the fact that

he used to praise Allah, Allah Islam and he's the one who all his sin forgiven. He's the one who Allah said he will go to Jannah he's the one who guaranteed that none of us guaranteed that. Yet the Prophet SAW Salem as I shall describe him, she said,

you know, he will stand up in prayer till both his feet or legs swelled from the long standing

and installation Behati you know, actually Allah I know she said, the person will recite 50 Verse 50 Verse

And while finished 50 Verse while the process of making prostrating or making record or bound and record

comes in either one of these Salah masala rock can

This is what you were about to do is you know what about just to quit to leave the salon the middle to leave the print of them and I couldn't it's too long for me to heart.

Not only in one area he takes that extra mile and Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam a woman from an unsub nessa de la Who tilba She saw the process of them wearing a clothes is not the newest is not the most good looking one. So she decided to make a fresh beautiful handmade shirt for him Salah listen so she gave it to the press I'm a newbie so salon was happy with it that you can tell him his face he was so happy when I appreciate the gift to the extent he went inside he put it on and he came out RU l for Rafi Raji levy so salam for the halal bait Well, let me suffer me so then he come out with this new clothes wearing SallAllahu Sallam for God Allah hurrah Judo mineral Ansara ik

He goes inside he tell us why give me my old shirt he put it on he come on he give it to him. Fella Maha Nez people said to this man, he said does not appropriate and you saw how the process was so happy with it. You saw the whole thing in front of your eyes.

He said kind of Allah Hema Ara to Julio Alba who Allah Allah bestow.

I did not ask for it because I want to wear it or I want to keep it I only asked for it because

I want something that the process alum like to keep with me. So I will put it to my grave. I want to be shrouded in it when I put on my grave. So when I resurrect in the name of judgment, and then Mr. Solomon said and remember me bite

And actually he died and he was buried with that shirt, the man whatever the mere config if he or euro he Elijah be familiar tequila HRSA Hello, Tara who either to whom with the hell Leland can cater to you. He wasn't a lady who was you know,

the Prophet SAW Selim was describing this poetry. He when you you see him so happy as if he's receiving the guests and in reality you the one who asking him for the gift any you see how happy you are when you receive that how happy he is when he gives sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.

That extra mile extra step. That's how our Prophet Muhammad SAW Salam was

when in the B cell Allah and SLM received this huge amount of word after the war a lot of rewards. Mineral Anna and life you're going to confession he received about 24,000

Yeah, and he kennels 24,000 between sheeps and cows and

He came back to his people said no, no, no, no, this man cannot be just a man this man is a prophet. He gives in a manner that he knows he will never be poor.

Highlight now that you're thinking about my lecture, even though the process animals not rich man.

That man behind him something more powerful than just a beans which is ALLAH SubhanA wa Anton.

And he said yeah, Hakeem. Yeah, de la he and Ilya Konya. Dukkha here earlier, for in any other earlier Hi Ramona. Sophia, yeah, Hakeem always give all I have the upper hand. The upper hand is always better. Hakim said after that incident, I never asked a human being anything. I always the one who gives.

Allah says in the Quran, when he could only wish her two who are more LEA or you will get an end

or you will get in and Allah Subhana Allah said, for each, there is a direction

which directions you are walking towards, in which direction you are in, listen to the next word for stebic will highlight then Allah subhanaw taala said basically, then he said so race to all that is good.
