Maria, the greeting of Islam,
as well as the greeting of Jannah, Asmaa, Allah Ketu, Alhamdulillah,
Allah subhanahu wa, stay with us And bless us again in order to
send our choices salutations upon our beloved Master, Sayyidina,
Muhammad Sallallahu sallam, on such a day which we know now that
Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam mentioned that there's not a day
which, by the sun rises better than the day of Juma. This is the
best day of the week, Alhamdulillah quy, and soon we are
going to enter the the best month of the year, that month whereby
Subhanallah Akola stands out once the moon has been sighted. Can we
imagine a caller stand out? And they started announcing to the
globe, Yaba al khair at biri Subhanallah, that O call of good
come close. You know, this is a month of blessings. This is a
month of Hira Barakat of Rahaman, as the Hadith of the Prophet
sallallahu sallam, beautiful says, and we're going to enter such a
state now whereby Owen, who rahmah, the first part of this
month, the month of Ramadan, whereby we need to come close as
the bunny is dating, and we need to draw from the Allah subhanahu
wa, from that Mercy of Allah subhanahu wa, this is one of the
greatest bounties that we can achieve. And if we don't achieve
this, subhanAllah, although the Prophet sallallahu Salla
mentioned, whoever does not receive forgiveness from Allah
subhanahu wa, says it does not be among the losers. We are going to
be with our families for this entire month of Ramadan. We are
going to spend time with him. We are going to be so privileged that
we can meet Salah for them. We are going to be so privileged that our
children will be able to read for us. Inshallah, to Allah. We are
going to be so rich and enriched by Allah that we can discuss the
sign of being with our own families. Allahu Akbar, what a
great bounty disease, and that is why the corner says, yabari al
fayed akbil, oh Subhanallah, you come close to this beautiful khayb
That is here for you now, which Allah subhanahu wa has given you.
And can we imagine, just two months ago, we started making the
dua of the messenger, salallahu alayhi wa sallam. Alayhi wa
sallam, and we truly are amongst those servants who accepted Allah.
We say, Allah Mubarak, Raja washak Man wabadi, Ramadan, yes, Ramadan,
we cry to plead Allah subhanahu wa to be a part of those amongst the
umasii. Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam will be witness. Witnessing
Ramadan this year. So yes, subhanAllah, we are witnessing it
in sha Allah. We have to inshaAllah, placing all the effort
and the sacrifice from our side. And we need to be amongst those
who will make this Ramadan, the best of Ramadan ever inshaAllah,
we are going to be amongst those who will draw from the rahmah
ALLAH SubhanA wa taala. We all know by now that the Rahma Allah
subhanahu wa this world is but only one out of 100 parts, one
part Allah subhanahu wa distributed to this world, to his
entire creation that has been created, and 99 portions out of
the 100 portions, as as it is explained, in order for us to
understand by the mufassirin and muhaddithin that 99 portions Allah
withhold and kept it by himself for a special time that's been to
come. We are in that period now whereby we can draw from the
rahmapallah. We can be the best of fathers to our children. We can be
the best of husbands to our wives. We can be the best of wives to our
husbands. We can start being the best of children to our parents
inshaAllah to Allah. This is important for us to achieve. This
is where we will connect with Allah subhanahu wa. We will
connect with only with Allah subhanahu wa, with that
constitution, and Allah subhanahu wa sat down upon us in order to
reflect about it. As Allah says in the Quran afalaya, Quran alaq, we
need to, Inshallah, to Allah, reflect about this Quran. We need
to read it. It is impossible for us nowadays to still just read the
Quran without trying to reflect and to understand it.
Alhamdulillah, we have ample time on our hands now. We are under
lockdown. We are of those servants of Allah whom we granted that
wish, that we can sit and we can recite the Quran. And if it, even
if it is five minutes of our time to take one ayah and to just
translate it and to try to reflect upon it for any.
Our hearts are not sealed. Our hearts are open to Allah subhanahu
wa. It is reaching out to Allah subhanahu wa. It is crying to
Allah subhanahu wa. Is rahmah that Allah subhanahu wa should bestow
upon us that favor again, to be amongst those slaves who will be
able to perform Salah in the masjid,
able to perform to greet our brothers with a smile. And every
action that we do, subhanAllah, don't think of it as being small.
Rasulullah speaks about this. You say that not a Quran that don't
think of everything that you are doing that it is small, it is
insignificant in the eyes of Allah. Do ample good that will
draw the treasure of the Rahm Allah, Subhanahu wa we are
entering a phase whereby it will be the phase of Allah subhanahu wa
descending Israel upon us. We need to draw from this. We are in a
situation where we are reaching out to Allah. What better ALLAH
SubhanA couldn't give us, then his Rahman that Allah subhanahu sent
upon us, yabari Hashem the corner, falls out and oh, do of evil.
Hold on tight. Don't carry on with what you have been doing. Don't
carry on with sinning. Don't carry on with slavery, whatever bad
action it is that you are currently busy with, whether it is
smoking, Allah, many of us, the month of Ramadan is again ahead of
us. Let us try to stop that bad action of smoking. Majority of the
ulamas of the of the opinion and smoking is harm, although a
minority says that it is makru, but Subhanallah, this is something
that is harming us, and this virus, if he didn't teach us
anything, there's one thing that he taught us, love, don't harm
yourself and don't harm those that is in your surroundings. So we are
now with our little ones, with our loved ones. If it is it in the
past, we were not among them by doing it now, we are restricted.
We are forced to be with them. Are we going to be of those who harm
ourselves and harm those who are our beloved ones, who are with us
currently? Subhanallah Allah protect us from that. Yaba, Yasha,
the call upon the door of evil, abusive hold on to that. Don't go
out and still carry on with how you will carry on for carrying on
for the entire period. Now is the time to draw the Rahma Allah, if
it's very difficult for me to keep the habit, raise my hands crying
to Allah for whatever bad it is that we are currently doing. Allah
has got the power and the might to inshaAllah assist us and gain us
in order to stop that from stop us from doing that evil inshaAllah.
So here is beautiful Hadith, and then it states Raila iqham, now
that to Allah belongs that which he can save us from the Hellfire
we want to be amongst those. We want to be of those who Allah
Subhanallah, as written that we will be the inhabitants of Jannah.
We do not want to enter Jahangir Subhanallah, if we think about it,
we have been restricted to our houses.
Can we imagine how difficult it was to some of us? We are
frustrated to some of us, we need to get out. This is easy. Why?
Because we have everything at our disposal. But can we imagine what
it is when we will be under lockdown in the fire of *?
There's going to be absolutely no way that we can accept that in our
houses. Inshallah, the lockdown will come to an end. Inshallah,
the illnesses will come to an end. Everything will might go in the
Indian life back to normal, and we make dua that everything should go
back to normal, because we want to again enjoy the bounties that
Allah subhanho wa Taala has bestowed upon us in the past,
which we took for granted that Allah Subhanallah grant us to
experience that again which Allah but it is important for us to
reflect. This is but the moment which Allah subhanho wa Taala has
placed the difficulty upon us in Jahannam, it will be forever and
ever, until Allah subhanahu wa, for those who were true, meaning
believers, that they will be taken out from Jahannam and entering
into paradise. Inshallah, grant us to be amongst the people of
Jannah. You are the ones who set your slaves free from jahannam.
Inshallah, this is a time whereby every day Allah subhanaw says,
free slaves from him, from the hellfire and entered him into
paradise. May we be among those who, Inshallah, to Allah has been
given emancipation, emancipation from the hellfire, in order to
enter gender, to enter the best of abodes, which is
gender to firdos al inshaAllah. And they we will understand. We
will get to meet our true loved ones. We will get to meet them
once again. For those who we have lost Subhanallah that Allah grant
them a high praise in Jannah, especially with this difficulty of
the coronavirus, whoever has been victims of those who are believers
Allah subhanahu wa, grant them that beautiful status of a Shaheed
to die as a Shahid and inshaAllah to stand up the name of Allah
subhanaw, resurrect us as a Shaheed inshaAllah, and to truly
enjoy the full reward which Allah subhanaw taala skipped for that
true Shaheed inshaAllah. I mean, I will grant us as well to be among
the shahada and the salihim Abu as we want to be like that. We want
to be those in the inter paradise.
And with the highest ABODE OF PARADISE, because Allah is pleased
with us. What better way to die as a shahid? Amin ya rabal Ali, but
we make God shouldn't be because of Corona I'm in ya Raban. We all
want to dash, but ya Allah grant us great and good health in order
of us to do much more good in order to gain your pleasure. Amin
ya Rami. So don't forget about this hadith the call the corner
towards good, come come close. The door of good come close. The month
of Ramadan is welcoming us. What are we going to do? We need to do
extra. We cannot be normal. We need to exert ourselves now, to
draw the treasure of Rahma Allah and Wausau and MA and soon we will
enter that period whereby the middle path of Ramadan will be the
forgiveness of Allah, not meaning that we should ask for
forgiveness. Now we should ask for forgiveness every day of our
lives. InshaAllah and Allah grant us to be among those whom the
Gustav firin, who seek for the forgiveness and Allah answer our
call by forgiving us. For indeed he is until rafurul Rahim, He is
the Most Forgiving, the Most Merciful, and at the end, we will
be free from the with these few words, on this beautiful day of
Juma, where Allah accept us for the entire month of Ramadan, to do
extremely good, to do extra this month, that it should be the
greatest of Ramadan that we have ever had in our entire lives.
Inshallah, towards our family members and towards humanity.
We're not only looking at ourselves now as mukbang, we're
looking towards humanity, and we want to save humanity. And we we
want to be amongst those who, masha Allah, practiced upon those
whether we can save one life, and as Rasulullah Salah mentioned to
us, the one who saves one life, it is as if he saved the entire human
race. May we be raised with that reward. InshaAllah Allah, and
inshaAllah Allah will descend upon us to enter paradise. BarakAllahu,
Ramadan Kareem to everyone, mashaAllah, to every family, to
every household, to everybody who is watching. May Allah, Subhanahu
wa bless you all, and may this be the best and the greatest of
Ramadan for you. And don't forget to make dua for the ummah. Don't
forget to make dua for the Haram in sharifain with Allah subhanho
wa taala, open it up for us. * is around the corner. We have the
power of dua with us. Dua, Salah al muqim. The DUA is the is the
weapon of a believer, because to ask Allah subhanahu wa full
conviction, and we certainly know that Allah subhana wa Taala will
answer us that Allah subhanahu wa us that Allah subhanahu wa us in
order to go and visit, whether it is for Umrah or whether it is for
Hajj, Inshallah, accept us for this Barak Allahu and enjoy the
month of Ramadan, speaking the path of Allah subhanahu wa Ketu.
