Waseem Hendricks – #4 Preperation For Ramadaan

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

Salaamu, alaykum, warahmatullahi wa Barakatuh, Rahim wabahi, nahi

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

Salim, wala Salim, Allah Rasul, Kareem Ahmad, yes, Alhamdulillah,

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

we are excited because this is our fourth episode with regards to the

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

preparation towards Ramadan, our preparation for this beautiful

00:00:18 --> 00:00:21

month that is ahead of us. Alhamdulillah, Rabbi Ali and

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

today's lesson, masha Allah, is going to be a beautiful, short

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

lesson, but Inshallah, we must take Ibara and listen from this,

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

because this is also part of our building up towards a beautiful

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

Ramadan. And what is this so important? It is our family ties.

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

It is our family relations. Inshallah, the Allah, we find

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

ourselves in such a situation that we are not normal as we normally

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

would go outside to go and seek sustenance. Here's an opportunity

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

for us. As the messenger, sallAllahu salah, mentioned to us

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

how to increase our sustenance and how valid for today, how to

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

prolong our lives. Subhanallah he SallAllahu, alayhi wa sallam. He

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

says that the one who joins family ties, who gives his complete focus

00:01:06 --> 00:01:09

towards his family, and he does not cut that family ties, what

00:01:09 --> 00:01:13

will happen to such a person? Allah subhanahu wa increases

00:01:13 --> 00:01:18

sustenance for them. How do we? Subhanallah says today, we find

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

ourselves in such a situation whereby some of us, we are not

00:01:22 --> 00:01:25

currently working at the moment. Some of us, our salaries has been

00:01:25 --> 00:01:29

cut. But here, Rasulullah sallallahu, Sallam is giving us a

00:01:29 --> 00:01:33

beautiful, beautiful antidote, a beautiful cure to this. And what

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

is that? That is that if we join our family ties, if we spend our

00:01:37 --> 00:01:41

time beautifully with our close relatives, our close relatives,

00:01:41 --> 00:01:46

then what will happen? Allah subhanahu wa, extend our risk.

00:01:46 --> 00:01:51

First, Allah subhanahu wa grant us abundance of sustenance. And yes,

00:01:51 --> 00:01:55

subhanAllah, what comes into the heart of a believer? It is Yaqeen.

00:01:55 --> 00:01:59

It is total tawakkul in dependence on Allah subhanahu wa. That is

00:01:59 --> 00:02:02

what we need to understand, that if we do this, Allah subhanahu wa

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

Allah says in the Holy Quran wama, yettakellah ya Allahu, Maharaja wa

00:02:07 --> 00:02:12

yar Zuko hum in haitu Lah yah, dashib wa maita wakal, Allahu

00:02:12 --> 00:02:18

Fauci is whoever is conscious of his Lord, Allah subhanahu wa

00:02:18 --> 00:02:22

Subhana wa Taala makes a way open for him. Are we opening what we

00:02:22 --> 00:02:25

are stressing today? Why? Because we are locked up in our own

00:02:25 --> 00:02:28

houses, although it is in the comfort of our own homes, what

00:02:28 --> 00:02:32

happens? We are stressed out about it. But here Allah, Allah says

00:02:32 --> 00:02:36

that if we are just conscious of Allah, Allah opens the path to

00:02:36 --> 00:02:40

your risk. Allah, Allah, Subhanahu wa opens the path to our

00:02:40 --> 00:02:44

sustenance in whatever our hearts desires, Allah will make it easy

00:02:44 --> 00:02:49

for us, subhanAllah and Allah subhanahu wa says, mumah, put your

00:02:49 --> 00:02:56

complete trust in Allah. Subhanahu wa sufficient for us. This is a

00:02:56 --> 00:02:59

sign for us as believers, to completely turn to Allah.

00:02:59 --> 00:03:10

Subhanahu wa needs. We need to cry to Allah subhanahu wa salam. It is

00:03:10 --> 00:03:13

just to spend quality time with our family members, to give the

00:03:13 --> 00:03:17

over to them Subhanallah and another. Another lesson that we

00:03:17 --> 00:03:21

can take from here is that our lives will be prolonged. Everybody

00:03:21 --> 00:03:27

is fearing covid, 19, coronavirus, Allahu Akbar, Allah subhanahu wa,

00:03:27 --> 00:03:30

speaks to His messages of Allah, and he says that I will prolong

00:03:30 --> 00:03:35

your life. Do we not completely believe in Allah subhanahu wa, do

00:03:35 --> 00:03:39

we not completely put our trust in Allah subhanahu wa, he is the one

00:03:39 --> 00:03:42

who's in control Subhana wa taala. He is the one that is our

00:03:42 --> 00:03:46

cherisher, our nourish, our Creator, our Sustainer. Everything

00:03:46 --> 00:03:50

that we can think about that is good, Allah, Subhanahu wa and he

00:03:50 --> 00:03:53

is got the complete might and power in order to give that to us,

00:03:53 --> 00:03:58

SubhanAllah. So here let us take this beautiful time now we have to

00:03:58 --> 00:04:01

prepare now. I cannot be a talent in my house. I cannot be

00:04:01 --> 00:04:05

SubhanAllah. Whatever bad is out there or bad thoughts is out

00:04:05 --> 00:04:09

there. With regards to me being within my house, what should I do?

00:04:09 --> 00:04:13

I should try to be the best. And now is the the way the build up to

00:04:13 --> 00:04:16

Ramadan. I want to be the best movement and the best Muslim in

00:04:16 --> 00:04:19

the month of Ramadan. Yes, the month of sharadan, the month of

00:04:19 --> 00:04:23

Rasulullah, alayhi wa sallam. How did he prepare for this month? Let

00:04:23 --> 00:04:27

us read up about this Inshallah, and one of those things is how to

00:04:27 --> 00:04:30

be kind and beautiful to our own close relatives, our family

00:04:30 --> 00:04:34

members, our own children, our own spouses. Subhanallah, the Allah

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

afford us the opportunity in order to become the best that we can be

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

to them. InshaAllah, our sustenance will be extended, and

00:04:42 --> 00:04:47

our lives will be prolonged. No covid 19 is above the power of

00:04:47 --> 00:04:51

Allah subhanahu wa, this is only but a fam, a

00:04:52 --> 00:04:56

soldier from amongst the soldiers of Allah subhanahu wa, an army

00:04:56 --> 00:04:59

from amongst the armies of Allah subhanahu wa, Allah.

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

Subhan wa Taala has released in order to teach us as humans,

00:05:03 --> 00:05:07

something us as the creation of Allah subhanahu wa, something that

00:05:07 --> 00:05:11

even something as minute as a virus, can bring the entire globe

00:05:11 --> 00:05:14

to a standstill. Inshallah, Allah grant us the understanding of

00:05:14 --> 00:05:18

this. May we be the best family members to our family. May we be

00:05:18 --> 00:05:21

the best fathers to our children, may we be the best mothers to our

00:05:21 --> 00:05:24

children? May we be the best husbands to our wives? May we be

00:05:24 --> 00:05:28

the best wives to our husbands and Inshallah, to Allah, Allahu,

00:05:28 --> 00:05:31

Akbar, the cream of the crop is worth whomsoeho us have our family

00:05:31 --> 00:05:34

members, which is our mothers and our fathers, who are so dear to

00:05:34 --> 00:05:37

us. There with us. May Allah Subhanallah grant us to be the

00:05:37 --> 00:05:41

best children and for them to be the best parents, Amin ya, rabal,

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

anim and Allah subhanahu wa sustenance in a way that we cannot

00:05:45 --> 00:05:51

imagine. Allah subhanahu wa lives and Inshallah, many ramadans.

00:05:51 --> 00:05:54

After this, we will be able to able to witness inshallah. And

00:05:54 --> 00:05:59

that is the dua that we make ya Allah, Allah umm abari, klama,

00:05:59 --> 00:06:02

Baqir, bad Ramadan Asmaa.
