who recognize their significance, pay attention to the importance of worshiping Allah competently
		
00:01:40 --> 00:02:10
			within them, and gaining and manifesting in them, a reward for ourselves in this dunya and Alfredo
collectively by shifting ourselves and our families towards righteousness to earn his pleasure
subhana wa Tada. Oh, how joyous it would be. If we were honored to be of those who are able to visit
the blessing helps of a lot in this hedge season. But Allah Subhana Allah opt for just 60,000
blessed souls, all of them in turtle from within
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:57
			the hijas area who are given this special permit who they have to ballot for it, only they have been
called upon for this year, some kind of loss after 1000s and millions were accustomed to going each
and every year. It was just 1000 people last year and 60,000 this year, we pray that Allah Subhana
Allah opens a pathway for ourselves, all of us in sha Allah, may Allah carry those who have not been
to Hajj allowing them to attain the Hajj and May Allah who has allowed us the honor to have visited
the sacred land the secret in the secret time seeking the sacred purpose of the pilgrimage to
seeking His bounty, his favor and our and his forgiveness for us that we are returned once again.
		
00:02:57 --> 00:03:40
			May Allah Subhana Allah make us to you for black man, the guests of the Most Merciful so cannot wait
to Allah. May Allah honor and Kava May Allah granted its honor and make it more Allah in the
estimation and in the heart of the believers. May Allah Subhana Allah maintain its sanctity and
sacredness in our hearts and to that of our future and children and children's children. Allah Ameen
May Allah subhanho wa Taala connect us to the house of Allah in a meaningful way, and beneficial way
that allows us to honor ourselves to honor our massages in our communities, to be from those who are
blessed in our fulfillment of the sunette and the tradition of the nivia Mohammed sallallahu alayhi
		
00:03:40 --> 00:04:24
			wa, early was like you were saying, I want in love at the time that we spent together that it is
something that is constructive, and a time that you and I can hold on to each other, connect with
each other, elevate one another and bloom in chat a lot into better people in this first of four
sections in sha Allah I'm gonna have a short break with you in about 20 minutes. But in this first
session, I want to speak about the opportunity that lies in front of us in the blessing days that we
find ourselves in. And I wanted to speak to you about solo telefonu Allah subhanho wa Taala says as
soon as that is found in the last Jews section of the Quran, it is a surah that is often recited in
		
00:04:24 --> 00:05:00
			our prayers led to us in Salatu measurability shared by the Imams, it's a surah that our children
memorize in their young age when fed well alien ash was chefchaouen wet when layli that yes, healthy
their liquor person would leave the hedgerow. These particular verses will be the focus of our
attention today. We combine them with an intimate understanding of what it is that also kind of want
to add has intended for us in these blessing 10 days and to analyze what they have said so that we
can learn have the opportunity
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:49
			And the importance of putting in effort before the time goes by, and that we miss out May Allah
Subhana Allah make us of those who covered these 10 days the way we coveted the month of Ramadan and
the last 10 nights of Ramadan. May Allah Subhana Allah make us as if we have the earnest and the
neediness of lateness and other that we pay attention to these 10 blessing days, a lot of them I
mean, first and foremost, about the love, my dear brothers, my dear sisters in Islam, I want you to
recognize that the concept of Baraka is an important concept for us as Muslims. The word Baraka
means a divinely introduced blessing, to a time to a place to an object or to a theme, only by the
		
00:05:49 --> 00:06:17
			order and instruction of Allah subhana wa to Allah and as he has directed for the measure and the
time that he specifies, and therefore no one can claim bottom comfort themselves if it is not
reported to us authentically from the profit of hundreds I sell them because who can inform us of
that which has been okay other than and mobile, I could never use Mohammed salah and he was setting
up. So Allah Subhana Allah has chosen certain times in the year
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:48
			and certain occasions for the believers as seasons of increasing their righteousness and their
devotion to him to come closer to Allah to come in need of Allah so that they may find an
opportunity to elevate themselves to bloom and flourish and spread righteousness and become
connected to him as they seek to be connected to others. We pray them loss of kindness to Allah
makes us of those who take advantage of these blessings. 10 days Allah says, well fed you.
		
00:06:49 --> 00:07:38
			Um, Allah Subhana Allah says, When fed by the rise at the sunrise by that opening of the Sun from
the darkness of the night, meaning by the alteration of condition, and that would imagine they speak
about this area allegorically it's one word fez, you it is the dawn it is the opening after
darkness. And so Pamela Islam is the dawn after the Jedi that yet Islam is the dawn after the shift
tawheed is the replacement of the darkness is that surrounded us with the light that is rising in
the form of our Wi Fi cell limit the message of the Quran that he received and its implementation it
soon that as soon as Allah Allahu Allahu Allah early, he was happy he was suddenly
		
00:07:39 --> 00:08:21
			this becomes an important point for us when fed, Allah wants us to know that this is a time of
change. And that's the first thing I want you to take from these 10 days. This is a time of change.
We're about to change the Islamic calendar year. This is the last of the 12 months of the Islamic
calendar. The next month is going to be the first month of problem. It is the month of of the first
beginning of our history, calendar. Allah Subhana winter Allah is telling us well fed This is a time
of change just like the night revolves into the day you can evolve and revolve yourself from the
darkness that is found in your heart to a light that begins to spread and shines light everywhere
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:59
			you go. May Allah Subhana Allah enlighten us and grant us is like the do out of the prophets Allah
Allah and he will send them they do out of light is a powerful to the prophets. I seldom was often
heard to say, Allah who Majeed Nora Oh Allah grant me light Allah home modality calbee Nora put
light in my heart with the ball sorry Nora in my sight put light where he said Mary Nora and in my
ears and hearing light well I learned he said he what he said he knew ah and upon my tongue in my
mouth Let there be like when do I leave dog? Oh Allah made for me like me
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:44
			and then your woman hifi Nora be free like behind me Let there be like what are you meaning when I
when I'm chairman even more when you totally know what I mean? tacky Nora from the right of me the
left of me in front of me and behind me above me and beneath me. surround me with your light. Yeah,
no. It will auto law You are the light of the heavens of the earth. And whenever we speak about the
light that is being asked for by the prophets I said it means your protection and the guidance of
faith to be able to see right from wrong good from bad. Hello from haraam Suna from big to walk upon
the earth with clear sightedness I love I'll see you, no Malik. devanney to live an enlightened
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:59
			life, a noble life of purpose and deliverance, of seeking the pathway to Allah subhana wa tada and
that becomes a firm way of our commitment, our relationship to our Creator and our maker. Oh ALLAH
and
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:11
			throughout the province, it says that we may overlook god there your life Allah him now the benen
Allah make our life manifest to all the great. Yeah. I mean,
		
00:10:12 --> 00:11:04
			light, therefore is con a connotation of a failure. So from the darkness, you can come to the light
from the scene, you can move away with repentance from the error, you can find redemption. From the
difficulty you can rise up after having fallen, you can stand tall again, well fed you with alien
ash. I swear to you, by the 10 nights now so Pamela, you might pause and say, Chuck Yeah, I thought
we're talking about the 10 blessing days of hedge, aren't we speaking about the days of a job? Why
is now a law? Why are you connecting this verse with the Knights of as Allah mentions when fans when
they yell in the night of a hash these 10 night? Well, I want you to understand first as a reminder
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:54
			to myself in you that our day is Muslims begins at mechanix. So at medmen prayer is the beginning of
the next day. So when Allah subhanho wa Taala says when a L in Azure, it means the beginning of the
day. And because we said that the surah is about l value, the rising of the sun after the darkness,
our day begins dark, but it enters into light. And it's a way of Allah saying to you and I, that as
you begin your life in darkness, don't waste the opportunity to rise to gather to implement, to
practice to receive the light that I have sent you in the end. That this Quran is for God, it is a
door. It is a separation. It is one that removes ambiguity and difficulty. It's the one that leads
		
00:11:54 --> 00:12:40
			you to that which you seek from your maker, your Creator, your Lord Almighty, Allah Subhana one to
Allah. So we ask Allah Subhana Allah to grant us that success to grant us His blessing to grant us
His favor, Subhana Allah Allah will fetch when al in it. So the first thing that night, the 10 night
means that the day begins with the night. The second thing that's important is that in the language
of the atom, and Allah uses this in the Quran in different ways, so a lot for example, intuitive,
medium and intuitive Eliot angle on his feet and the Chola MBA he speaks about exactly, yeah. And
Allah says, I'm going to make you silent tannat Allah Yellin zawiya three nights that are even don't
		
00:12:40 --> 00:13:25
			speak to any of your family and friends about the joy of a new child to be blessed you. But in
another verse, Allah says Allah, Allah Yami Illa Rhonda, your only communication is to speak to them
for three days. So in one area, it's night Leyland, and in another area, a yummy in Dharamsala,
except with sign language. Why does How do they explain this? Why is this happening? It's a lot to
show that it's the complete day at night. So when Allah uses the word night, Allah wants you to know
that it's about the full day from the beginning, which people usually miss out on for Allah Subhana
Allah Allah says, well fed, you know, a yam in ashtray and 10 days most people would assume Oh, it's
		
00:13:25 --> 00:14:07
			okay for me to sleep in the night. It's okay for me to sleep in the night and then I can wake up
later and do what and then I can continue my day when the sun rises, but Allah wants you to take
advantage from the beginning of the evening that leads you into the date. My dear brothers and
sisters if there are any callers you're welcome to call in. We can treat this as an Islamic q&a as
well for the days of the ager questions that relate to Hajj and things of that nature and Charla
I'll be happy to assist you with them. be delighted to Allah there should be the phone number there
for you and chatbot to make your call and to send your questions through welfare. Well al in this we
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:11
			have a caller already on the line Mashallah said I'm Anakin caller How can I help
		
00:14:17 --> 00:14:19
			trying really hard to get
		
00:14:22 --> 00:14:23
			I noticed
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:27
			so many people
		
00:14:31 --> 00:14:33
			lack of knowledge about
		
00:14:34 --> 00:14:35
			how to perform.
		
00:14:39 --> 00:14:40
			Sometimes
		
00:14:43 --> 00:14:45
			people ignore lots of things.
		
00:14:51 --> 00:14:54
			Some leaflets something
		
00:14:56 --> 00:14:59
			to give people you
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:07
			know as much as we can information like, sometimes they don't even notice they don't even bother to
		
00:15:10 --> 00:15:12
			read books. But
		
00:15:17 --> 00:15:18
			if we can arrange,
		
00:15:19 --> 00:15:23
			we get together and we do some kind of special.
		
00:15:28 --> 00:15:30
			raise some leaflets,
		
00:15:31 --> 00:15:32
			educate them.
		
00:15:35 --> 00:15:36
			Because I noticed,
		
00:15:37 --> 00:15:38
			I'm not saying
		
00:15:40 --> 00:15:42
			spend that much money to
		
00:15:46 --> 00:15:48
			ignore lots of important things for
		
00:15:51 --> 00:15:52
			people
		
00:15:54 --> 00:15:54
			you know,
		
00:15:56 --> 00:15:59
			ignoring lots of important things is really really
		
00:16:03 --> 00:16:05
			the most important thing.
		
00:16:09 --> 00:16:48
			It's a very noble it's a very noble gesture on your part to have this care which is something in
chat love that I will speak about as we continue with our sessions today about building knowledge
and learning a little bit more about the things that lead us to appreciate the hedge to practice the
hedge in the way that we should May Allah opened the door for us again, one of the things that I
always do recommend, of course, is for the people who who do travel to Hajj is to study and to read
before they get there. And this is something that I do thank you for putting your input towards that
just like Allah will continue with our discussion. So we said when fed when a gal in Ashland these
		
00:16:48 --> 00:17:32
			10 nights that begin that 10 days, we said that these nights and days that they come together to
fulfill our aspect of relationship to Allah subhana wa Tada. One of the things that many of us as
human beings we miss out on is the Baraka in the early hours of the day. The early hours of the day,
as the sun is rising, and immediately accurate, are the most Mubarak hours in any day of the year
all days of the year, but especially in these 10 days alone, some of that is an unfair jury can
assure that Quran when it recited in the federal in the federal prayer and after federal or before
federal prayer, when you recite it in your prayers or from the most, it is witnessed by the angels
		
00:17:32 --> 00:18:16
			and recorded for you in your scale. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam always taught us that
there is Baraka in that book called in the early hours of the night. So get into that habit of
sleeping early, rising early, worshiping a lot entering into pageant and continuing away for a
little bit after in our next session, I'm going to talk about how to get the reward of hedge while
still it helps to kind of align myself and you are deprived from punch this year, but you and I can
still maintain the reward of HUD, even when we are at home. When fed when a gallon ash these 10
night, Allah wants you to take advantage of the night when you look out on your street and all the
		
00:18:16 --> 00:18:41
			lights are out and all of your neighbors are asleep and you're awake in the worship of Allah know
that this is a sign of Allah's mercy upon you and your home. Even if it is just to Raka that you
perform, it can be the worth of the world and all that is in it. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam, he said to rocker before the federal prayer just as soon that before the federal prayer
		
00:18:42 --> 00:19:04
			is worth a duty iwmf he has the value has the merit has the contribution to your scale has the
blessing and Baraka in it's affecting your health, in your wealth. To then you having received the
world and all that it all that belongs within it. May Allah grant us this amalgam and be
		
00:19:05 --> 00:19:54
			well fed well al and ash so your day begins with the night don't overlook the night so Allah wants
to make Toki to emphasize this when alien ash and Allah says we're shifting, we will wet just like
in the nights that there is this time. There is also two days of great importance a chef when wet.
The chef is the odd is the even days in the month. And the width of the day the wetter day is the
day of our offer. And the shaft is the day where we make that now so that 10th day is the day of
sacrifice the day of our aid that they agreed on the day of our for band, but the day of Waechter of
the week to the day is the day of our path that we should signify by fasting, the prophets of Allah
		
00:19:54 --> 00:20:00
			and he was telling told us about fasting the day of our fat that it removes the sins of the
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:49
			year to come in the year of the past and that is a phenomenal thing. It is known amongst that really
matter that there is no day that the Prophet fasted solo and he was saddled with the same dedication
that he passes the month of Ramadan with other than the day of our office when he was not in hajj.
So if you are not in hajj, it becomes a Sunni Nemo Akka that was to have men dude, a requirement
that is almost at the level of obligation for you to fast the month and the day of our offer. It is
a day of expelling scenes from your life where chef Awan wet well lately either Yes. How quickly
that night departs how quickly the night will leave you how quickly will these nights go by and the
		
00:20:49 --> 00:21:32
			days go by with them. Because if you don't take advantage of the night that begins the day, in these
10 blitter days, you're going to miss out on the reward of doing activity in the day because in the
daytime, you and I we go to work or engage with our families we're engaged with the children we're
busy busy, busy lives busy people we're engaged with calls and visits and you know shopping and
preparing food and earning a Hello income all of these things will take our time. So Allah says
don't miss out on these days begin in the evening before you get busy in the day when Jonathan
leylandii Basha, which is our Masha then the holidays for earning our key but the lane is for rest
		
00:21:32 --> 00:22:16
			and keeping a wakeful heart with Allah subhanho wa Taala healthy then it can possibly be the
hedgerow is this not a vow that Allah has given to those who wish strength and wish to find a
recourse with a law and a strange thing with a law and a law to maintain his favor upon them.
Meaning in these 10 blessed days you can earn what you cannot earn in other days, these are the
words of the prophets I send them then there are no days where a human being lives, where you will
earn greater reward, then these days that will not even speak about the difference between lasers
and powder these days and they prefer these days may almost support you and I in them. We're going
		
00:22:16 --> 00:22:24
			to take a short break in sha Allah and then come back together for another session. What's that? I'm
on equal one I went to LA he or volcat
		
00:22:28 --> 00:22:29
			shampoo bottle Oh come on.
