00:00:08 --> 00:00:15
			In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious,
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:15
			the Most Merciful.
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:47
			Dear Muslims, of Allah's blessings upon us, which
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:49
			are explicitly mentioned in the Qur'an, is
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:53
			the spectrum of diversity within the creation of
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:54
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:58
			In multiple verses, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:02
			asks us to ponder over the diversity of
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:02
			creation.
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:04
			He asks us to think about the different
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:06
			creation out there.
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:09
			He asks us to ponder about اختلاف وألسنتكم
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:12
			وألوانكم the differences of your colors, the differences
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:13
			of your languages.
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:15
			He asks us to look at the creation
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:18
			of the heavens and the earth, the alternation
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:19
			of the night and the day.
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:22
			And through all of this, Allah says, in
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:24
			this is an ibrah, in this is a
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:26
			lesson and a message for the people of
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:26
			intellect.
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:30
			And of the diversities that is especially relevant
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:33
			right now, is the diversity of the seasons,
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:36
			the diversity of the temperatures on earth.
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:39
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala mentions in the
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:42
			Qur'an, وَمِنْ آيَاتِهِ of His miracles and
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:46
			signs, is اختلاف with the differences between the
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:48
			night and the day, and the khalq and
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:49
			the creation of the sun and the moon.
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:54
			And Allah references, لِإِلَٰفِ قُرَيْشِ إِلَٰفِهِمْ رِحْلَةَ الشِّتَاءِ
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:57
			وَالصَّيْفِ of their miracles and of the customs
		
00:02:57 --> 00:03:00
			of the Quraysh, is their different journeys in
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:02
			the summer, and the different journeys of the
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:02
			winter.
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:04
			And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala mentions of
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:08
			the creation, alternation in surah Furqan, Allah says,
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:10
			هو الذي, he is the one, who has
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:12
			made the اختلاف of the night and the
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:16
			day, العبرة, a succession, and a means of
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:20
			a contemplation, لِمَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَذَّكَّرَ أَوْ أَرَادَ
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:23
			شُكُورًا Whoever wants to benefit, and whoever wants
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:24
			to show thankfulness.
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:28
			Allah mentions the differences of the seasons, and
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:30
			the differences of the night and day, Allah
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:33
			mentions them in order to show that whoever
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:36
			wishes to thank Allah may do so.
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:39
			And so there is divine wisdom in creation.
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:51
			There is divine wisdom in creation, and there
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:54
			is divine wisdom in the alternation of the
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:54
			creation.
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:57
			And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala mentions of
		
00:03:57 --> 00:04:00
			these wisdoms is the difference between the summer
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:01
			and the winter.
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:04
			So today's khutbah is about some benefits, some
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:08
			rulings, some theological and fiqhi rulings that are
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:11
			pertinent to this time season, and that is
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:13
			the time season of winter.
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:15
			And yes indeed, there are evidences in the
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:17
			Quran and sunnah, there are traditions of the
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:20
			sahaba in which they talked about winter, and
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:22
			they talked about some of the benefits and
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:23
			the perks of winter.
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:25
			In fact there is a hadith in the
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:28
			Muslim Imam Ahmed reported that the Prophet ﷺ
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:32
			said, that of the most easiest ghanima you
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:35
			can get, ghanima here means benefit and booty,
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:38
			of the biggest ghanimas you can get is
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:41
			to fast during the days of the winter.
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:43
			Our Prophet ﷺ mentioned that this is a
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:46
			blessing that everyone of us has access to.
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:48
			The famous companion Abu Sa'id al-Khudri,
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:52
			he said, the winter season is actually the
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:53
			spring for the believer.
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:54
			Pause here.
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:56
			Spring is when we are the most excited.
		
00:04:57 --> 00:05:00
			Spring is when the flowers are blooming.
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:03
			Spring is when all of the vegetation is
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:03
			coming back.
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:05
			We look forward to the spring.
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:07
			Abu Sa'id al-Khudri said, the winter
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:10
			season is in fact the spring for the
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:10
			believer.
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:12
			Why he was asked?
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:15
			He said, its night becomes longer so you
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:18
			can pray tahajjud, and its days become shorter
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:19
			so you can fast with ease.
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:22
			And al-Hasan al-Basri rahimahullahu ta'ala
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:25
			remarked, what a beautiful season is the winter.
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:27
			Its night Allah has made it long so
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:29
			that you can make qiyam in an easier
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:30
			manner.
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:33
			And its days are better temperature, easier for
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:34
			you to fast with.
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:37
			And Ibn Rajab al-Hanbali, the famous scholar
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:40
			of Islam, who wrote over 75 books.
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:42
			He wrote one book about the blessings of
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:43
			the seasons.
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:45
			He has an entire book about the blessings
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:45
			of the seasons.
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:47
			And he commented on these traditions.
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:51
			And he said, the reason why winter is
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:53
			the spring for the believer is just like
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:55
			the animal enjoys the spring.
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:58
			After having gone through a winter, now it
		
00:05:58 --> 00:06:01
			has all of the different flowers, all of
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:02
			the different crops it is grazing on.
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:06
			So too when winter comes, the believer grazes
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:09
			on different activities of worship that were difficult
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:10
			for him before the winter.
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:13
			Because Ibn Rajab says, the believer is now
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:16
			easily able to bear the temperature of the
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:18
			day so that they can fast without feeling
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:18
			thirsty.
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:21
			And maghrib and fajr, the time is much
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:21
			easier.
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:23
			And he says the night becomes long, fajr
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:24
			is delayed.
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:26
			And so one can wake up easier and
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:28
			perform the tahajjud with ease.
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:31
			So Ibn Rajab also comments on this fact
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:34
			that winter is in fact the spring for
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:35
			the believer.
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:38
			And so the main blessing therefore of this
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:41
			time frame is that Allah SWT allows for
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:44
			us this diversity of creation, the diversity of
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:47
			temperatures, the diversity of the timings of fajr
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:49
			and maghrib, so that we can do in
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:52
			this season what we cannot do in other
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:52
			seasons.
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:56
			And particularly, primarily, the two main blessings that
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:58
			come are the blessings of tahajjud and the
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:01
			blessings of siyam, the blessings of the ease
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:03
			of praying at night, and the blessings of
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:04
			being able to fast during the day.
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:06
			As we're all aware, during the winter months,
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:10
			tahajjud becomes easier because fajr is delayed.
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:12
			So we can now wake up half an
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:14
			hour before fajr, and we can now pray
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:15
			with ease.
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:17
			Rather than praying fajr at 4, 4.30,
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:19
			now fajr is at 6.15, 6.30.
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:21
			So we can wake up even a little
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:23
			bit before fajr, and we can pray tahajjud.
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:26
			Similarly with the fast, now that fajr is
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:27
			coming in around 6 o'clock, and maghrib
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:30
			is also coming roughly around 6 as well,
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:31
			and the temperature is easy.
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:32
			So now the Prophet shallallahu alaihi wa sallam
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:35
			said, siyam al shita, the fasting of the
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:38
			winter, is al ghanimat al barida, the easy
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:41
			war booty that one can obtain by.
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:44
			Also along with these spiritual blessings, there are
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:46
			also fiqh rulings that are pertaining to the
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:47
			cold season of the winter.
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:49
			One of the rules of the shari'ah,
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:51
			one of the maxims of the shari'ah
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:53
			that we learn from our tradition, is that
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:56
			when things become difficult, the shari'ah becomes
		
00:07:56 --> 00:07:56
			easy.
		
00:07:56 --> 00:07:58
			There is a tradition, there is a principle
		
00:07:58 --> 00:07:59
			in fiqh.
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:02
			كُلَّ مَا ضَاقَ الْأَمْرُ اتَّسَعَ The more difficult
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:05
			life becomes, the easier the shari'ah becomes.
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:07
			The more there is difficulty in day to
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:09
			day, the more laxities are in the shari
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:10
			'ah.
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:12
			And in another maxim of the shari'ah,
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:17
			المَشَقَّةُ تَجْلِبُ الْتَيْسِير Difficulty begets ease.
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:19
			So what are some of the ease that
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:20
			the shari'ah has come with during this
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:21
			time frame?
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:23
			A number of things can be said, and
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:24
			obviously this khutbah is not comprehensive.
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:27
			Of the blessings that we should be aware
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:30
			of, is that our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:34
			sallam incentivized us with extra rewards to do
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:36
			our wudu during this season.
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:38
			He mentioned in a number of traditions, this
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:40
			tradition is mentioned by more than six companions.
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:43
			He mentioned, should I not tell you about
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:46
			the biggest blessings that causes your sins to
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:48
			be forgiven, and your ranks to be raised
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:48
			up.
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:50
			And he mentioned two or three things, and
		
00:08:50 --> 00:08:53
			one of them he said, is that making
		
00:08:53 --> 00:08:55
			wudu during times of cold and difficulty.
		
00:08:56 --> 00:08:59
			اِتْمَامُ الْوُضُوءِ فِي الْمَكَارِحِ So he's encouraging us,
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:01
			we wake up for fajr, we wake up
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:03
			for tahajjud, and it's a bit cold, and
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:05
			the water is cold, we should thank Allah
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:08
			subhanahu wa ta'ala for that small difficulty
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:10
			will bring about great blessings in the akhira.
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:13
			In another tradition, mentioned in sunan al-tirmidhi,
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:16
			our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, do
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:18
			you want to know what the angels are
		
00:09:18 --> 00:09:20
			arguing is the best of all good deeds?
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:21
			They said what?
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:23
			He mentioned two or three things, and one
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:25
			of them he said, is that to do
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:27
			wudu, and to do it well at times
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:28
			of difficulty.
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:30
			And at times of difficulty means when the
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:31
			temperature is cold.
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:35
			So doing wudu in this season becomes an
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:35
			act of worship.
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:38
			We thank Allah something so trivial as wudu.
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:41
			We thank Allah an act and a ritual
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:43
			that is so routine, it has become so
		
00:09:43 --> 00:09:45
			blessed during these days.
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:47
			However, this needs to be understood with some
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:47
			caveats.
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:50
			Of the caveats we need to understand, the
		
00:09:50 --> 00:09:53
			sharia does not ask us to intentionally make
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:54
			life difficult.
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:57
			This is when you don't have hot water.
		
00:09:57 --> 00:10:00
			So the question arises, should we in the
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:03
			current circumstances, intentionally not turn on the hot
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:06
			water, thinking that Allah will reward us more?
		
00:10:06 --> 00:10:09
			No, because Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:12
			not asking us to torture ourselves for no
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:12
			reason.
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:14
			This is a blessing that if you don't
		
00:10:14 --> 00:10:16
			have hot water, and it is cold water,
		
00:10:17 --> 00:10:18
			expect Allah to reward you.
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:21
			We should understand the sharia never asks us
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:23
			to make life difficult for no reason.
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:26
			No, when the sharia is demanding something from
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:28
			us, and it requires a little bit of
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:30
			exertion, we get extra reward.
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:32
			If we can make that exertion with ease,
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:34
			if we can do that difficulty with a
		
00:10:34 --> 00:10:37
			little bit of convenience, we are not earning
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:39
			less rewards from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:42
			There was a man once standing in the
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:44
			sun, and he was standing there for many
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:44
			hours.
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:46
			And the Prophet ﷺ said, why is he
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:47
			standing there?
		
00:10:47 --> 00:10:49
			And he was told, the people around him
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:52
			said, Ya Rasulullah, he made an oath to
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:53
			Allah that he would stand in the sun
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:55
			for a long period of time.
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:57
			The Prophet ﷺ said, tell this man to
		
00:10:57 --> 00:10:58
			break his oath.
		
00:10:58 --> 00:10:59
			Allah has no need of this type of
		
00:10:59 --> 00:11:00
			ritual.
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:02
			Allah doesn't want to make life difficult for
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:02
			no reason.
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:04
			This is not the way you worship Allah
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:06
			by intentionally making things more difficult.
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:09
			So the first caveat is that the sharia
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:12
			is not asking you to make life more
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:12
			difficult.
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:15
			If there is not any hot water, and
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:16
			you have to do wudu with cold water,
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:18
			then expect Allah to reward you extra.
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:21
			But if you have hot water, thank Allah
		
00:11:21 --> 00:11:23
			subhanahu wa ta'ala and take advantage of
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:23
			that.
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:26
			Another caveat we have to add here is
		
00:11:26 --> 00:11:29
			that obviously this only applies in circumstances where
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:31
			one's life is not in danger.
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:33
			Now obviously this is not the case in
		
00:11:33 --> 00:11:35
			our houses, in the climate that we live
		
00:11:35 --> 00:11:35
			in.
		
00:11:35 --> 00:11:37
			But imagine if you were in the desert,
		
00:11:37 --> 00:11:39
			and it is freezing cold, and in that
		
00:11:39 --> 00:11:41
			temperature or climate you have to do wudu
		
00:11:41 --> 00:11:41
			or ghusl.
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:44
			It is authentically narrated that Amr ibn al-'As
		
00:11:44 --> 00:11:47
			radiyallahu ta'ala anhu narrated the story in
		
00:11:47 --> 00:11:47
			Sahih Bukhari.
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:50
			He said that, once the Prophet ﷺ sent
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:52
			me on an expedition, and it was a
		
00:11:52 --> 00:11:54
			freezing cold night in the middle of the
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:55
			desert, a freezing cold night.
		
00:11:56 --> 00:11:57
			And I woke up, I was the commander,
		
00:11:57 --> 00:11:58
			I woke up, and I was in the
		
00:11:58 --> 00:12:00
			state of janabah, I had a *.
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:03
			And I thought, if I do ghusl now,
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:05
			then this is the end of me.
		
00:12:05 --> 00:12:07
			So he said, I did tayammum.
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:10
			And I led my people in salat al
		
00:12:10 --> 00:12:13
			-fajr, in the state of janabah having done
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:13
			tayammum.
		
00:12:14 --> 00:12:15
			And then I returned home, and the news
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:18
			spread that he led us without doing ghusl.
		
00:12:18 --> 00:12:19
			He led us only doing tayammum.
		
00:12:20 --> 00:12:21
			So the Prophet ﷺ called me.
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:24
			He said, is it true that you led
		
00:12:24 --> 00:12:26
			your companions in the state of janabah?
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:29
			Is it true you led fajr without doing
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:29
			ghusl?
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:32
			He said, Ya Rasulallah, it was freezing cold.
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:35
			You know the temperature in the desert gets
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:36
			very cold at night.
		
00:12:36 --> 00:12:38
			It was freezing cold.
		
00:12:38 --> 00:12:40
			And I thought to myself, if I were
		
00:12:40 --> 00:12:42
			to pour water on me now, this would
		
00:12:42 --> 00:12:43
			be the end of me.
		
00:12:43 --> 00:12:45
			And Allah says in the Qur'an, وَلَا
		
00:12:45 --> 00:12:48
			تُلْقُوا بِأَيْدِكُمِ لَا تَهْلُكَ Don't cause your own
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:48
			destruction.
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:50
			So I didn't wanna cause my own destruction,
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:51
			and I did tayammum.
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:54
			So the Prophet ﷺ laughed, and did not
		
00:12:54 --> 00:12:56
			disapprove of what he had done.
		
00:12:56 --> 00:12:59
			Which indicates that, yes, when life is difficult,
		
00:12:59 --> 00:13:02
			yes, when the situation is life-threatening, the
		
00:13:02 --> 00:13:03
			shari'ah becomes easy in this regard.
		
00:13:03 --> 00:13:05
			Now obviously we do not have this situation
		
00:13:05 --> 00:13:07
			within our households, but you should be aware
		
00:13:07 --> 00:13:10
			that shari'ah has come with this level
		
00:13:10 --> 00:13:11
			of ease.
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:13
			Another ruling that we can take advantage of
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:16
			in this cold season, is the ruling of
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:17
			masah over our socks.
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:20
			The ruling of wiping over our socks.
		
00:13:21 --> 00:13:23
			And it is authentically narrated that our Prophet
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:27
			ﷺ gave this concession to the sahaba, that
		
00:13:27 --> 00:13:29
			the one who is traveling can wipe for
		
00:13:29 --> 00:13:31
			three days, and the one who is muqeem,
		
00:13:31 --> 00:13:32
			can wipe for one day.
		
00:13:33 --> 00:13:36
			And our Khalifah Umar ibn Khattar radiyallahu anhu
		
00:13:36 --> 00:13:39
			said that, whoever wears his socks after having
		
00:13:39 --> 00:13:42
			done tahara, let him wipe over his socks
		
00:13:42 --> 00:13:45
			for an entire day, from the hour that
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:46
			he wore his socks.
		
00:13:46 --> 00:13:49
			So where you wear, 24 hours you may
		
00:13:49 --> 00:13:50
			wipe over them.
		
00:13:50 --> 00:13:52
			Now if you're aware of this minor controversy,
		
00:13:52 --> 00:13:54
			in our books of fiqh, and that is
		
00:13:54 --> 00:13:55
			the conditions of the sock.
		
00:13:56 --> 00:13:57
			As you're probably aware, some of the madhhab
		
00:13:57 --> 00:13:59
			say, it must be leather, and other madhhab
		
00:13:59 --> 00:14:01
			say, no, any sock does the job.
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:03
			And this is not the time to get
		
00:14:03 --> 00:14:04
			into the details of this.
		
00:14:04 --> 00:14:06
			But the position that I follow, Ibn Taymiyyah
		
00:14:06 --> 00:14:07
			has a long fatwa on this, Imam Ahmad
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:10
			has explicit statements on this, that the shari
		
00:14:10 --> 00:14:11
			'ah has come with ease.
		
00:14:11 --> 00:14:13
			And so any foot covering that covers the
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:15
			foot, it is something you may do masah
		
00:14:15 --> 00:14:17
			over as long as you have wudu, when
		
00:14:17 --> 00:14:19
			you put those coverings on.
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:22
			And also our scholars mentioned, that if there
		
00:14:22 --> 00:14:24
			are multiple coverings in one, then as long
		
00:14:24 --> 00:14:26
			as you put them on at the same
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:28
			time, it will constitute one covering.
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:30
			And they say this based upon the fact
		
00:14:30 --> 00:14:32
			that the sahaba, some of them, their socks
		
00:14:32 --> 00:14:37
			were basically strips, of cotton or strips of
		
00:14:37 --> 00:14:41
			garment, that they would wrap around their feet.
		
00:14:41 --> 00:14:42
			And that would be their sock.
		
00:14:42 --> 00:14:44
			And so that is the equivalent of multiple
		
00:14:44 --> 00:14:45
			layers.
		
00:14:45 --> 00:14:47
			So if you have a sock, and then
		
00:14:47 --> 00:14:48
			you have a shoe on it, but you
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:49
			wore it at the same time, you may
		
00:14:49 --> 00:14:51
			do masah as long as you had wudu,
		
00:14:51 --> 00:14:53
			when you wore your socks and shoes at
		
00:14:53 --> 00:14:54
			the same time.
		
00:14:54 --> 00:14:55
			And if there are other opinions and you
		
00:14:55 --> 00:14:57
			wish to follow them, they're all good inshaAllah
		
00:14:57 --> 00:14:58
			ta'ala.
		
00:14:58 --> 00:15:00
			Of the rulings that we should be aware
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:02
			of during the winter season as well, is
		
00:15:02 --> 00:15:06
			that our Prophet ﷺ gave a concession for
		
00:15:06 --> 00:15:09
			the cold season, that those that are in
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:12
			the masjid, and it is very cold, that
		
00:15:12 --> 00:15:14
			they may combine the salawat, or those that
		
00:15:14 --> 00:15:16
			are not in the masjid, and it is
		
00:15:16 --> 00:15:18
			very dangerous, they should not come to the
		
00:15:18 --> 00:15:18
			masjid.
		
00:15:18 --> 00:15:21
			Ibn Umar r.a once gave the adhan
		
00:15:21 --> 00:15:22
			in his time frame.
		
00:15:23 --> 00:15:24
			And in the adhan, instead of saying, حَيَّ
		
00:15:24 --> 00:15:27
			عَلَى الصَّلَاةِ he said, pray in your houses.
		
00:15:27 --> 00:15:28
			And it was a cold night.
		
00:15:29 --> 00:15:30
			He said, don't come to the masjid, pray
		
00:15:30 --> 00:15:31
			in your houses.
		
00:15:31 --> 00:15:33
			So somebody said to him, why did you
		
00:15:33 --> 00:15:35
			change حَيَّ عَلَى الصَّلَاةِ to pray in your
		
00:15:35 --> 00:15:35
			houses?
		
00:15:35 --> 00:15:38
			He said, one night it was very cold
		
00:15:38 --> 00:15:40
			in the time of the Prophet ﷺ.
		
00:15:41 --> 00:15:43
			And he said to us, don't say حَيَّ
		
00:15:43 --> 00:15:47
			عَلَى الصَّلَاةِ, say صَلُّوا فِي رِحَالِكُمْ, pray in
		
00:15:47 --> 00:15:47
			your houses.
		
00:15:47 --> 00:15:49
			So I'm following that sunnah.
		
00:15:49 --> 00:15:51
			Now obviously, this applies when the roads are
		
00:15:51 --> 00:15:53
			a bit slippery or dangerous.
		
00:15:53 --> 00:15:55
			This applies when there might be ice for
		
00:15:55 --> 00:15:55
			us on the road.
		
00:15:55 --> 00:15:57
			The sharia is not asking us to do
		
00:15:57 --> 00:16:00
			something that is potentially harmful.
		
00:16:00 --> 00:16:02
			Also, we learn from the traditions in Sahih
		
00:16:02 --> 00:16:05
			Bukhari and Sahih Muslim, that on multiple occasions,
		
00:16:05 --> 00:16:07
			when it was raining severely, when it was
		
00:16:07 --> 00:16:10
			very cold, when the sahabah had gathered for
		
00:16:10 --> 00:16:12
			the first of the two salawat, dhuhr and
		
00:16:12 --> 00:16:14
			asr or maghrib and isha, the Prophet ﷺ
		
00:16:14 --> 00:16:17
			would say to them, you may combine so
		
00:16:17 --> 00:16:18
			that you don't have to come back for
		
00:16:18 --> 00:16:18
			the other salah.
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:20
			Now this only applies to those that are
		
00:16:20 --> 00:16:22
			in the masjid in difficult times.
		
00:16:22 --> 00:16:24
			Obviously, if you're at home, you don't combine
		
00:16:24 --> 00:16:26
			dhuhr and asr or maghrib and isha because
		
00:16:26 --> 00:16:27
			of the cold.
		
00:16:27 --> 00:16:28
			This is if somebody has come to the
		
00:16:28 --> 00:16:31
			masjid and the circumstances are difficult outside.
		
00:16:31 --> 00:16:35
			In that case, the Prophet ﷺ applied it
		
00:16:35 --> 00:16:37
			in a very severe situation.
		
00:16:37 --> 00:16:39
			Obviously, one word of caution also applies in
		
00:16:39 --> 00:16:40
			the winter months.
		
00:16:40 --> 00:16:43
			And that is that because the time of
		
00:16:43 --> 00:16:46
			the salawat becomes so close, many people unfortunately
		
00:16:46 --> 00:16:49
			do not pay attention to dhuhr and asr
		
00:16:49 --> 00:16:51
			timings and they let it go by.
		
00:16:51 --> 00:16:53
			And realize we are not allowed to delay
		
00:16:53 --> 00:16:55
			dhuhr until after the time of asr comes.
		
00:16:56 --> 00:16:57
			Even if we're at work, no matter what
		
00:16:57 --> 00:16:59
			we are, we must take a few minutes
		
00:16:59 --> 00:17:01
			out and go to a corner or find
		
00:17:01 --> 00:17:02
			a safe place to pray.
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:05
			And it is something that unfortunately too many
		
00:17:05 --> 00:17:07
			people get lax about in the winter months.
		
00:17:07 --> 00:17:10
			Just because the salawat are closer doesn't give
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:12
			us an excuse to make qada for no
		
00:17:12 --> 00:17:13
			reason of our salawat.
		
00:17:13 --> 00:17:14
			It is a major sin.
		
00:17:15 --> 00:17:16
			And Allah says in the Qur'an, إِنَّ
		
00:17:16 --> 00:17:20
			الصَّلَاةَ كَانَتْ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِ كِتَابًا مَوْقُوتًا The prayers
		
00:17:20 --> 00:17:24
			are assigned at their correct times, كِتَابًا مَوْقُوتًا.
		
00:17:24 --> 00:17:26
			There are particular times you must pray in.
		
00:17:26 --> 00:17:29
			Now there's one concession that many scholars, in
		
00:17:29 --> 00:17:31
			fact the majority of scholars have allowed this.
		
00:17:31 --> 00:17:33
			It's not really a concession, but it is
		
00:17:33 --> 00:17:34
			something that is permissible.
		
00:17:34 --> 00:17:36
			It's not something we should take as a
		
00:17:36 --> 00:17:36
			habit.
		
00:17:37 --> 00:17:39
			And yet still, because of the circumstances we
		
00:17:39 --> 00:17:42
			find ourselves in this climate, it might be
		
00:17:42 --> 00:17:44
			useful to know that the vast majority of
		
00:17:44 --> 00:17:47
			scholars have allowed what is called الجمع الصوري.
		
00:17:47 --> 00:17:50
			And that is the illusion of combining.
		
00:17:50 --> 00:17:53
			You don't actually combine, but if somebody were
		
00:17:53 --> 00:17:54
			to see you without knowing what you're doing,
		
00:17:54 --> 00:17:56
			they might think you're combining.
		
00:17:56 --> 00:17:57
			And Ibn Hajar comments on this, Imam An
		
00:17:57 --> 00:17:59
			-Nawawi comments on this, and they say that
		
00:17:59 --> 00:18:03
			it is allowed to delay dhuhr to the
		
00:18:03 --> 00:18:06
			very end timing, 10 minutes before salatul asr
		
00:18:06 --> 00:18:07
			comes, and you pray dhuhr.
		
00:18:07 --> 00:18:09
			And then with the same wudu, you wait
		
00:18:09 --> 00:18:11
			a few minutes, when asr comes in, you
		
00:18:11 --> 00:18:13
			may then pray asr as well.
		
00:18:13 --> 00:18:14
			This is something that is allowed.
		
00:18:15 --> 00:18:17
			And because you prayed every prayer on its
		
00:18:17 --> 00:18:19
			time, you're not actually combining.
		
00:18:20 --> 00:18:21
			But you have to be very careful that
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:23
			you're monitoring the correct timing.
		
00:18:23 --> 00:18:25
			So suppose asr comes in at let's say
		
00:18:25 --> 00:18:28
			3.55, so you pray dhuhr at 3
		
00:18:28 --> 00:18:30
			.45, and you pray it properly, and you
		
00:18:30 --> 00:18:32
			pray it on time, and then you wait.
		
00:18:32 --> 00:18:34
			And then when 3.55 comes, and it
		
00:18:34 --> 00:18:35
			is time for asr, then you wait a
		
00:18:35 --> 00:18:37
			minute or two, and then you pray salatul
		
00:18:37 --> 00:18:37
			asr.
		
00:18:37 --> 00:18:39
			This is something that is ja'iz.
		
00:18:39 --> 00:18:41
			It is not good to do, but given
		
00:18:41 --> 00:18:44
			our workplaces, given the corporate environment we find
		
00:18:44 --> 00:18:46
			ourselves in, it might be useful to know,
		
00:18:47 --> 00:18:48
			and some concession to follow, if we're not
		
00:18:48 --> 00:18:50
			able to pray each prayer at its exact
		
00:18:50 --> 00:18:51
			timing.
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:53
			There is no sin on doing this, because
		
00:18:53 --> 00:18:55
			you are praying dhuhr in its proper time,
		
00:18:55 --> 00:18:57
			and you are praying asr in its proper
		
00:18:57 --> 00:18:57
			time.
		
00:18:57 --> 00:18:59
			And the same can go for maghrib and
		
00:18:59 --> 00:19:00
			isha, obviously not for asr and maghrib.
		
00:19:01 --> 00:19:03
			For maghrib and isha, and for dhuhr and
		
00:19:03 --> 00:19:04
			asr, you may do what is called al
		
00:19:04 --> 00:19:07
			-jama' al-suri, or the illusion of jama'.
		
00:19:07 --> 00:19:08
			It is not actual jama'.
		
00:19:08 --> 00:19:10
			And the final point we'll mention, and of
		
00:19:10 --> 00:19:12
			course this is a summarized khutbah, so many
		
00:19:12 --> 00:19:14
			other rulings can be given that are benefit
		
00:19:14 --> 00:19:18
			to us, is that our Prophet ﷺ cautioned
		
00:19:18 --> 00:19:23
			us about taking regular precautions about this season.
		
00:19:23 --> 00:19:26
			It is reported in Sahih Bukhari, that one
		
00:19:26 --> 00:19:28
			of the houses in Medina, they burnt down
		
00:19:28 --> 00:19:30
			in the winter, because they had let the
		
00:19:30 --> 00:19:31
			fire on.
		
00:19:31 --> 00:19:32
			Because it was cold at night, they had
		
00:19:32 --> 00:19:33
			let the fire on.
		
00:19:34 --> 00:19:37
			And our Prophet ﷺ said, that these fires,
		
00:19:38 --> 00:19:40
			sometimes shaitan uses them to harm you.
		
00:19:41 --> 00:19:42
			So be careful.
		
00:19:42 --> 00:19:44
			And in one version he said, that turn
		
00:19:44 --> 00:19:45
			the fires off at night.
		
00:19:45 --> 00:19:48
			Now obviously, he's speaking in a different environment,
		
00:19:48 --> 00:19:50
			where there were no precautions, that they didn't
		
00:19:50 --> 00:19:52
			have the checks and balances, we do, but
		
00:19:52 --> 00:19:55
			he actually instructed the people in Medina, to
		
00:19:55 --> 00:19:57
			not have the fires that are just there,
		
00:19:57 --> 00:19:59
			without being monitored for the rest of the
		
00:19:59 --> 00:20:00
			night.
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:02
			Obviously in our situation, we have checks and
		
00:20:02 --> 00:20:05
			balances within our appliances, but still the principle
		
00:20:05 --> 00:20:05
			applies.
		
00:20:05 --> 00:20:08
			And that principle, is that the Sharia wants
		
00:20:08 --> 00:20:10
			us, to protect ourselves and our families.
		
00:20:11 --> 00:20:13
			The Sharia wants us to take reasonable precautions,
		
00:20:13 --> 00:20:16
			where we do not cause undue hardship and
		
00:20:16 --> 00:20:17
			harm, to our families.
		
00:20:17 --> 00:20:19
			And the winter season is coming, and as
		
00:20:19 --> 00:20:21
			you know, sometimes the taps they freeze up,
		
00:20:22 --> 00:20:22
			other things happen.
		
00:20:23 --> 00:20:24
			So take precautions.
		
00:20:24 --> 00:20:26
			And we thank Allah, for such a beautiful
		
00:20:26 --> 00:20:29
			religion, that has taught us to take precautions,
		
00:20:29 --> 00:20:30
			for our daily needs.
		
00:20:30 --> 00:20:33
			We thank Allah, we are rewarded for the
		
00:20:33 --> 00:20:35
			daily routines, of the summer and the winter.
		
00:20:36 --> 00:20:38
			We thank Allah, that the Sharia has come
		
00:20:38 --> 00:20:40
			with concessions, even for the seasons.
		
00:20:40 --> 00:20:42
			And all of this demonstrates, the beauty of
		
00:20:42 --> 00:20:44
			the Sharia, the simplicity of the Sharia, the
		
00:20:44 --> 00:20:46
			purity of the Sharia, and the fact that
		
00:20:46 --> 00:20:48
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, wants ease for
		
00:20:48 --> 00:20:50
			us, and not difficulty for us.
		
00:20:50 --> 00:20:52
			May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, bless me
		
00:20:52 --> 00:20:53
			and you, with the Qur'an.
		
00:20:54 --> 00:20:55
			And may He make us of those who,
		
00:20:55 --> 00:20:57
			His verses they understand, and applies halal and
		
00:20:57 --> 00:20:58
			haram, throughout our lifespan.
		
00:20:59 --> 00:21:01
			I ask Allah's forgiveness, you as well ask
		
00:21:01 --> 00:21:03
			Him for His, the Ghafoor and the Rahman.
		
00:21:13 --> 00:21:16
			الحمد لله الواحد الأحد, الصمد الذي لم يلد
		
00:21:16 --> 00:21:19
			ولم يولد, ولم يكن له كفواً أحد وبعده.
		
00:21:20 --> 00:21:25
			O Muslims, we watch with trepidation, with worry,
		
00:21:25 --> 00:21:27
			about what is happening around the globe.
		
00:21:28 --> 00:21:30
			And there are things happening across the globe,
		
00:21:31 --> 00:21:33
			which at one point the heart is saddened
		
00:21:33 --> 00:21:35
			by, and at others they find optimism in.
		
00:21:36 --> 00:21:38
			And the situation in Bilad al-Sham, the
		
00:21:38 --> 00:21:41
			situation in Syria, is one such situation, where
		
00:21:41 --> 00:21:44
			our hearts are happy, that the people are
		
00:21:44 --> 00:21:45
			finding a source of liberation.
		
00:21:46 --> 00:21:48
			The people are overthrowing the shackles of tyranny,
		
00:21:48 --> 00:21:49
			and injustice.
		
00:21:49 --> 00:21:52
			And with cautious optimism, we make dua for
		
00:21:52 --> 00:21:53
			those people.
		
00:21:53 --> 00:21:56
			O Muslims, realize that Bilad al-Sham, is
		
00:21:56 --> 00:21:57
			not like any other land.
		
00:21:57 --> 00:22:01
			Our Prophet ﷺ, made so many duas for
		
00:22:01 --> 00:22:02
			that land.
		
00:22:02 --> 00:22:04
			And he said in a hadith in Bukhari
		
00:22:04 --> 00:22:07
			and Muslim, اللهم بارك لنا في شامنا, O
		
00:22:07 --> 00:22:09
			Allah bless us in our Bilad al-Sham.
		
00:22:09 --> 00:22:12
			And Bilad al-Sham encompasses Syria, and Lebanon,
		
00:22:13 --> 00:22:16
			and Jordan, and Palestine, that entire area.
		
00:22:16 --> 00:22:18
			And he said, O Allah bless us in
		
00:22:18 --> 00:22:19
			our Bilad al-Sham.
		
00:22:20 --> 00:22:21
			And he said this when Bilad al-Sham
		
00:22:21 --> 00:22:23
			was under the Byzantine Empire.
		
00:22:23 --> 00:22:26
			The Muslims did not control Bilad al-Sham.
		
00:22:26 --> 00:22:28
			And yet he said, this is our Bilad,
		
00:22:28 --> 00:22:30
			Bilad al-Sham, our Bilad, this is Shamina,
		
00:22:31 --> 00:22:32
			our Bilad al-Sham.
		
00:22:32 --> 00:22:34
			He ascribed it to the Muslim ummah.
		
00:22:34 --> 00:22:38
			And our Prophet ﷺ, praised the people of
		
00:22:38 --> 00:22:38
			Sham.
		
00:22:38 --> 00:22:40
			And he said that, Iman will always go
		
00:22:40 --> 00:22:41
			back over there.
		
00:22:41 --> 00:22:43
			And he mentioned that, there's always gonna be
		
00:22:43 --> 00:22:46
			groups of people that are apparent upon the
		
00:22:46 --> 00:22:47
			truth until the day of judgment.
		
00:22:48 --> 00:22:49
			And he said, you will find them in
		
00:22:49 --> 00:22:51
			Sham, and around Bilad al-Sham.
		
00:22:51 --> 00:22:53
			So we ask Allah SWT to bless the
		
00:22:53 --> 00:22:56
			people of Sham, the sincere, the righteous people
		
00:22:56 --> 00:22:56
			of Sham.
		
00:22:57 --> 00:22:59
			We ask Allah SWT to protect them from
		
00:22:59 --> 00:23:01
			the tyrannies and injustices that they have undergone.
		
00:23:02 --> 00:23:04
			We ask Allah SWT to allow us to
		
00:23:04 --> 00:23:07
			see victory for the righteous people over the
		
00:23:07 --> 00:23:08
			tyrants and the evil doers.
		
00:23:08 --> 00:23:10
			Make dua for them and for all of
		
00:23:10 --> 00:23:10
			the ummah.
		
00:23:11 --> 00:23:12
			And there is a lot of Ibra, O
		
00:23:12 --> 00:23:15
			Muslims, O Muslims, O Muslims, look at the
		
00:23:15 --> 00:23:16
			world and look at the situation.
		
00:23:16 --> 00:23:19
			Who could have predicted in every single area,
		
00:23:19 --> 00:23:22
			there's flames and pockets of antagonism going on.
		
00:23:22 --> 00:23:24
			Only Allah knows the future.
		
00:23:24 --> 00:23:26
			So take advantage of the peace that we
		
00:23:26 --> 00:23:27
			are in right now.
		
00:23:27 --> 00:23:30
			Take advantage of our beautiful civil society that
		
00:23:30 --> 00:23:31
			we're in to make sure that your relationship
		
00:23:31 --> 00:23:33
			with Allah is strong.
		
00:23:33 --> 00:23:35
			To make sure that your Ibadah is something
		
00:23:35 --> 00:23:36
			that you are doing perfectly.
		
00:23:36 --> 00:23:38
			There are people around the globe, they don't
		
00:23:38 --> 00:23:41
			have the luxury to worship Allah SWT.
		
00:23:42 --> 00:23:44
			They're constantly under threat of bombs, under threat
		
00:23:44 --> 00:23:45
			of immigration.
		
00:23:45 --> 00:23:48
			And here we are, alhamdulillah, in peace, in
		
00:23:48 --> 00:23:49
			aafia, in security.
		
00:23:49 --> 00:23:52
			What excuse do we have to not be
		
00:23:52 --> 00:23:52
			close to Allah?
		
00:23:53 --> 00:23:55
			Learn from the lessons of history.
		
00:23:55 --> 00:23:58
			Look at what is happening in every single
		
00:23:58 --> 00:23:59
			region of the world.
		
00:23:59 --> 00:24:00
			Who could have imagined all of these things
		
00:24:00 --> 00:24:01
			happening?
		
00:24:01 --> 00:24:03
			It's not just Gaza anymore and we're still
		
00:24:03 --> 00:24:04
			making dua for Gaza.
		
00:24:04 --> 00:24:06
			Look at our brothers and sisters in Sudan
		
00:24:06 --> 00:24:08
			and the reality of what is happening over
		
00:24:08 --> 00:24:08
			there.
		
00:24:09 --> 00:24:10
			Look at what is happening in Yemen.
		
00:24:10 --> 00:24:11
			Look at what is happening in the Uyghur
		
00:24:11 --> 00:24:12
			place in China.
		
00:24:12 --> 00:24:14
			Look at what is happening across the world
		
00:24:14 --> 00:24:16
			and now in Bilad al-Sham as well.
		
00:24:16 --> 00:24:17
			So many things are happening.
		
00:24:18 --> 00:24:20
			So let the wise person take a lesson
		
00:24:20 --> 00:24:20
			from this.
		
00:24:21 --> 00:24:23
			Let the person prepare for the unexpected tomorrow.
		
00:24:24 --> 00:24:25
			We do not know what is gonna happen
		
00:24:25 --> 00:24:26
			tomorrow.
		
00:24:26 --> 00:24:29
			So the wise person prepares today in expectation
		
00:24:29 --> 00:24:30
			for tomorrow.
		
00:24:30 --> 00:24:32
			And the bulk of that preparation is going
		
00:24:32 --> 00:24:34
			to be with the taqwa of Allah.
		
00:24:34 --> 00:24:38
			وَتَزَوَّدُوا فَإِنَّ خَيْرَ زَادِ التَّقْوَى Prepare yourselves and
		
00:24:38 --> 00:24:40
			the best preparation is the taqwa of Allah
		
00:24:40 --> 00:24:41
			subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:24:42 --> 00:24:44
			Now is the time to establish that connection
		
00:24:44 --> 00:24:45
			with Allah.
		
00:24:45 --> 00:24:47
			To make sure your prayer rituals are on
		
00:24:47 --> 00:24:47
			time.
		
00:24:47 --> 00:24:49
			To make sure you understand your faith and
		
00:24:49 --> 00:24:49
			your deen.
		
00:24:49 --> 00:24:51
			To make sure you and your children are
		
00:24:51 --> 00:24:53
			upon the truth and upon Siratul Haqq and
		
00:24:53 --> 00:24:54
			the mustaqeem.
		
00:24:54 --> 00:24:56
			Because you do not know what is gonna
		
00:24:56 --> 00:24:58
			happen tomorrow and be prepared for that unexpected
		
00:24:58 --> 00:25:01
			reality tomorrow and along with that make constant
		
00:25:01 --> 00:25:04
			dua to Allah for aafiyah to protect us
		
00:25:04 --> 00:25:06
			and our children and our loved ones and
		
00:25:06 --> 00:25:07
			to bless the ummah with khair and with
		
00:25:07 --> 00:25:08
			taqwa.
		
00:25:31 --> 00:25:34
