Asmaa, beloved and dearest, brothers and sisters, mothers and
fathers, youth in Islam,
Alhamdulillah, Rameen, we find ourselves in this time whereby we
are all currently busy in preparation towards Ramadan. But
we have some great news for everybody. Alhamdulillah, from
today on, every day we will live stream in sha Allah via YouTube
and be in Elish SubhanAllah. Everyone will be able to,
everyday, download a video from our YouTube in sha Allah at pmct,
and they will be able to receive a beautiful message in nasiha, with
regards to our preparation for the month of Ramadan, that month that
everybody is yearning to see inshallah. So here's a great and
wonderful opportunity for us. And when Ramadan start, this is even
much more greater news than that, we will be live. So whenever we
connect to YouTube. Inshallah, you will be able to see me live giving
that nasiha and that advice in sha Allah, in order for us to grow our
spirituality, spirituality a bit more and gain closeness to Allah,
Subhanahu wa and have a better understanding of what to do in
this beautiful month of Ramadan, it is ahead of us. So here's
wonderful news. What is that now we can download the video from
YouTube. The link will be sent to everybody, Alhamdulillah. And when
the month of Ramadan commence, of ALA, we will go live Amini for the
pmct, for doing this great effort, Inshallah, to get the masjid to
get the deen to your homes, Amin ya rabbal Alamin and may Allah,
Behran, barakay. Now, if it's Amin ya rabbal Alamin, today's message
is a very, very important message. We know that we have passed the
month of Rajab. We are in the month of Rasulullah, sallAllahu,
alayhi wa sallam. We understand that the messenger sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam, as narrated by his beloved wife, Aisha radiAllahu
taala, and her that she said that she has never seen the messengers
of Allah wa alai wa salam fast so much. So much so that they thought
that the messengers of Allah ala Salam would fast the entire month
of Sharad. So he fasted so much in the month of sharaban that she
thought that she's going to he's going to fight the entire month of
sharadan, although this was only in preparation of the month of
Ramadan. Subhanallah, the beloved messenger, sallAllahu sallam, used
to love to make preparation in the month of sharadan, and that is why
it's called the month of Muhammad rasulallah. He used to tie his
belt in this month work extra hard in order to receive the welcoming
guest of Allah subhanahu wa is giving to this ummah. He wants to
receive it in the best of ways and be prepared for that in the rest
of ways. Hopefully we are doing the same. Inshallah, we find
ourselves now that we are busy preparing it might not be similar
to the years that has passed the years that it passed Subhanallah,
we would have been in the supermarkets now. We would have
been in the malls now, but Allah subhanahu wa striding and testing
us, Allah subhanahu wa grant us opportunities to spend this time
with our families. So how are we going to spend this time with our
families inshaAllah? The first thing is we should try to follow
the Sunnah Rasulullah, sallAllahu, sallam. What if you do? He used to
fast in the month of sharadan. Let us try to choose the Sunnah days.
Let us make it habitual in our lives. It must become our habits.
We fast on a Monday and we fast on a Thursday inshallah. And
then the second point will be that the relationship that we have with
the Quran here's a time that we spend a whole day with our
families. Do we have constructive times? Do we have certain times
that we spend with our families? Do we have certain times that we
do certain things together? One of those things should be that
relationship that we create amongst us as a family with this
Quran, when we do the Subhanallah, remember we are now being
addressed by the Lord of the Worlds, Allah, when we read the
Quran and we try to implement it in our daily lives. So here's a
great opportunity for us. The one is fasting, the second one is to
create a relationship with us with this Quran. Why the relationship
with this Quran, especially now at this time, because the month of
the Quran is ahead of us. The month of the Ummah, sallAllahu,
sallam, is the month of the Quran. If we already start to establish
that relationship with this Quran now then inshaAllah, the Allah the
month of Ramadan, it will be much easier for us to spend time with
this Quran. We have so much time on our hands now, Alhamdulillah,
we spend so much time with our families. Now we've never realized
this bounty of Allah subhanahu wa of family, so much that we can
spend so much time together. But we must make it fruitful. We must
make it inshaAllah wa taala, whereby I am now becoming the
Sultan of my house, who is the father. I'm taking that
responsibility upon my shoulders as I should.
So I need to educate my family in which way, not only about the
dunya ways, but also about the Dini ways. So if it is it, I take
five minutes of the day after every salah I read in ayah of the
Quran, we translate it and we try to implement it in our lives as a
family. Can we imagine the abundance of rewards that Allah
subhanahu wa give us, although we know that this Quran, it is a
guidance for all of us, Masha, Allah, it is a wonderful guide for
all of us. It will take us to Jannah. It is the only, the only,
and one of the only, where, by the day of qiyama, when we come, that
miracle will come this Quran. If I have recited this Quran, If I
lived my life according to this Quran, it will be a means of shafa
for me in the cover and in the year of the day when Allah
subhanahu wa distant us for the Hellfire Allah, Allah, protect us.
But if that happens, this Quran will be that one in my grave. If
I'm destined for Jahannam and punishment, then the Quran will
stand up as a human figure, as a bodily figure. And it will be in
our defense, and say, Ya Allah, this was the one that led me at
night. He practiced upon me. He strived to understand me. How can
ALLAH SubhanA wa Taala take him to jahannam. He used to be with me in
this world. I want to be with him in this life. So take him to
Jannah, Allahu, Akbar, if it is we find ourselves when it is to enter
Jahannam, the devil, and Allah destined us for that the Quran
will be the means of shafara for us and seeking protection on
behalf of us, may Allah grant us to be amongst them. And the third
thing is our family time. Spend good time with our families.
Wallahi, you know, this is the best thing that could have
happened to us. Some of us only realize how the bounty that Allah
has given us but make effort inshaAllah to gather every day for
a particular amount of time. And inshaAllah, if we do that, and
Allah, Subhanahu, WA reward us abundantly for our efforts in sha
Allah Diana, the one who
cut family ties. Allah subhanahu wa cut family ties with such a
person. How can I not even live with my family now that I have to,
I am bound to. I can't do anything, but now that I'm there,
I'm even a worse person. Person. May Allah protect us from that
inshaAllah and I must become the most wonderful person to my
children in order to teach them and guide them on the righteous
part in sha Allah is a father as well as a mother. The mother's got
the beautiful duties of cooking and that so the father is
exploring Masha Allah. May Allah bless our mothers. May Allah
subhanahu wa this
become the best Ramadan ever. And I want to say that we make the DUA
Allahumma baqiya, sharaban, wabalivna, Ramadan Oh Allah grant
us the blessings of what is left of this month of sharadan, and for
us to reach the month of Ramadan. Barak Allahu masala, murakum
Rahmatullah, Barakatuh Abu.
