beloved prophet muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. Indeed the best of speech is the book of
Allah. And the best of guidance is the guidance of Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. We have a
witness that no one is worthy of worship but Allah and we bear witness that Muhammad sallallahu

book, The Quran, and all places due to Allah for sending us the most beautiful human being Muhammad
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and all patients due to Allah for facilitating for us and extending our
lives to witness the blessings of the month of Ramadan. For this we are grateful and we beg of Allah
subhanho wa Taala that we be amongst those who have been accepted during the month of Ramadan. mela,
Allah accept our fasting and May Allah Subhana Allah accept our deeds in this blessed month of
Ramadan. Yes, remember Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa salam O Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he

00:04:17 --> 00:04:53
			on how to enter in delaporte or be the Prophet peace be upon him so beautifully said that the
believer has two moments of rejoicing at the end of fasting. He said that the believer rejoices when
they break their fast and the factory either every day or at the end of the month of Ramadan. We
rejoice. And then he also said and there is another moment that the believer is going to rejoice and
that is when we meet our Creator Allah subhanho wa Taala along mountain become a fresh dinner in the
Philippines along
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:59
			the same way that the last panel that has really made us happy
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:12
			Joy's breaking our fast we brag of him, that we also rejoice and that we are happy on the day that
we need him subhanho wa Taala This is to panelo such a beautiful Hadith
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:54
			where the Prophet peace be upon him is telling us that a believer actually gets to rejoice. And by
the way, the rejoicing here is not because now we can go back and eat and drink. See, remember we
were never fully deprived of eating and drinking. If we are just rejoicing From now on, I can have
my cup of coffee in the morning. That is really not the real meaning of rejoicing. If we are saying
that now I can stop by and grab breakfast on the way that is not the meaning of rejoicing. In order
to understand this, there is another statement that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam has made
that cleaves this one. Also, Lovato, Salam O Allah,
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:58
			middle mentor, who has an attorney who was
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:47
			truly a believer is one who rejoices his good deeds. And truly a believer is one who is disappointed
as himself when he makes poor choices and takes poor actions in life. In other words, what the
frontal lobe is telling us that we are rejoicing at the end of the month of Ramadan is that we are
rejoicing, a beautiful accomplishment. And that accomplishment is fasting during the month of
Ramadan, practicing self restraint, practicing abstinence, practicing self control and self
discipline. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that this is an occasion that is worthy of
celebration. To celebrate this, because of Hamlet, they say that true happiness, true meaningful
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:52
			happiness should not be confused with entertainment.
		
00:06:54 --> 00:07:09
			meaningful happiness, should not be confused with entertainment. Sometimes we think we are happy
when in reality, we are being entertained. Watching TV is not happiness, it is entertainment.
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:29
			So now what we've been told is that truly meaningful happiness comes from what is it that we have
done, especially when we have gotten the conscience, where it becomes a self taught us that do the
good and naturally the doing of good would lead you to feel good,
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:43
			don't do good to feel good, that is selfishness. But he said naturally the doing of good leads you
to feel good, and not middlemen Serato. was a to see.
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:58
			And that is not only about the month of Ramadan, Burma Subhana Allah has given this promise not only
that you rejoice during the month of Ramadan, but in the end, Allah Subhana Allah has promised min
Angela solly han min Decker in
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:01
			Ohio,
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:15
			whoever believes be the males or females. And then they do righteous deeds, Allah subhanaw taala
promised them, then
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:45
			we shall indeed grant in a beautiful life. a life that is worth rejoicing a life that is worth
celebrating. So as believers we believe that belonging to this beautiful being one way that it
manifests itself and reflects itself. So Pamela that you are a happy person will lie part of the
deal is that we're happy people.
		
00:08:46 --> 00:09:23
			Unlike what we've been taught, or the erroneous impression that we have sometimes is that the more
religious you become, the more miserable you appear. The more religious you become, the sadder and
the meaner that you look. And reality is we are taught that Japan a lot. The more religious you are,
the more balanced your life becomes. the happier you are, the more content that you are, that Allah
Subhana Allah said, believe and do good deed, and you shall find that your life is higher. It's a
beautiful life.
		
00:09:24 --> 00:09:58
			Not only this, but moreover, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam to really drive this point
home. He's been asked jasola mill, ama Illa or messenger of Allah what is the most beloved deed in
the estimation in the sight of Allah subhanaw taala and you would think that you are asking a
religious person, as a religious person, you would think that they will give you a set of rituals,
praying too much fasting, a lot, giving in charity, and then all of a sudden the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam said to rule to
		
00:09:59 --> 00:09:59
			American Muslims
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:20
			said it is about celebration, rejoicing that you put into the heart of a believer, making somebody
else happy. So Pamela, you know that in today's psychology, we are taught that one of the quickest
ways of making yourself happy, is to make sure that somebody else becomes happy,
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:45
			make somebody else happy. And that will inevitably, almost immediately make you happy. You know,
Subhan, Allah, they say that everything that we share the malicious, you know, when we have and you
start sharing, it becomes a smaller and smaller, with the exception of happiness, the more you shade
it, you are in reality, doubling it.
		
00:10:46 --> 00:11:23
			And we know this amongst ourselves, you know, when you have, when you hear a nice joke, what
happens, you will all day long telling it to people. And sometimes you even just come up with an
excuse to tell people a funny joke, because it's so funny, and you just can't wait and you want to
share it with as many people as possible. But see, the job does not get delegated. As you're telling
it. What happens is that so panela, the more people you tell, the more happiness you've just
introduced to more people. And it is not diminishing. But somehow, in reality, you're just doubling
the joy.
		
00:11:24 --> 00:12:13
			So that they have eight brothers and sisters, is the day that we are happy. And it is also the day
that we introduce happiness to those who are around us. That is one of the meanings of read, that
cannot just be escaped. Please make sure that you are happy with life. And remember this happiness
is a personal responsibility. Don't wait for somebody else to make you happy. It is a personal
responsibility. It is our responsibility to make ourselves happy. The minute we depend and wait for
somebody else to make us happy, we become emotionally dependent, and we lose our own emotional
independence. And that is the almost type of slavery when you wait for somebody else to make you
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:13
			feel.
		
00:12:14 --> 00:12:22
			So in reality, remember that so can Allah, that happiness is a personal responsibility.
		
00:12:23 --> 00:13:10
			In other points, part of our responsibility also is to make sure that we become a source of
happiness to those who are around us, as fathers, husbands brothers, as mothers, wives and sisters,
that we see it that our presence when we are is that we become a source of happiness. And we become
a source of happiness. So Pamela, that is part of our deep, that need to be here, me being there,
you being here or you being there, it means that wherever we go, we are able to put a smile on those
who are around us. So please, brothers and sisters, make sure that our presence in our homes really
becomes a source of happiness and comfort for our brothers and sisters and our families. That is the
		
00:13:10 --> 00:13:15
			first point. The second and the final point, the day of it
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:20
			is really the time to mend relationships.
		
00:13:21 --> 00:14:04
			A lot of is the time that we mend broken relationships. How can we say that today we are
celebrating. But yet, in one way we are celebrating another way, we still have bad relationships
with those who are close to us. How can we say that I am celebrating, and hamdulillah I fasted but
I'm still not talking to my brother, or I'm not in good terms with my wife or my husband, or I have
abandoned my parents or my children. That cannot be if we are fasting, because amasa quotevalet
camassia, that fasting is being prescribed upon you the same. And the same mode is also the one that
said it
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:07
			will
		
00:14:08 --> 00:14:30
			be mindful of Allah subhanho wa Taala in his name that you invoke when you're asking one another, I
asked him by God to do this. And I asked you by a lot to do this. And the last contact said Be
mindful of your kinships be mindful of your relationships. And so again, they go hand in hand.
		
00:14:31 --> 00:14:32
			Harvard University,
		
00:14:33 --> 00:14:59
			they did a study. They invited intrapreneurs people who made money, people who are making money,
people who are inspiring to make money and they were asking them, what is it that makes you happy?
These are people who have got the money. And they found out that at the end of this survey and they
surveyed over 1500 people
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:07
			They found out that what really makes people happy is meaningful relationships.
		
00:15:08 --> 00:15:13
			meaningful, healthy relationships is what makes people happy.
		
00:15:14 --> 00:15:57
			Ask people who have a lot of money, but they don't have good relationship with their children. And
they will tell you I will give up all the money that I have, if I can only have a proper
relationship with my husband, with my wife, or with my child. And for this brothers and sisters, we
have to make sure that Suppan Allah, part of the pseudo the happiness of the Prophet peace be upon
him. Part of celebrating the day of read is that our relationship with those who are around us is a
healthy relationship that we fix, and we mend and we rectify these broken relationships. You know,
yesterday, the whole by reminded in our community, I reminded the people please reach out to the
		
00:15:57 --> 00:16:09
			people. Because in the Hadith, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said something that is just
absolutely awesome and beautiful. See, sometimes having tension in the relationship that is natural.
		
00:16:10 --> 00:16:33
			You know, it happens between parents, it happens between husband and wife, that is natural. We're
not saying that should never have problems, but then the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
speaking about this, how you react to the problem is really what determines he sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam said, Well, how are you? booma olevia bedava salam Salam ala rasulillah.
		
00:16:34 --> 00:16:45
			He said that when people have these tensions amongst them, he said that the best amongst them, the
better of the two is the one who initiates the peace
		
00:16:46 --> 00:17:26
			is the one who initiates the peace. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said he is the better of
them. He is the best of them. Would you not want to be better? Best, according to the definition of
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. But see, what happens is that our ego comes from the way
our prime Unfortunately, sometimes our arrogance comes in the way that I sent the last text. I made
the last phone call. I was the one who called him 20 years ago, but he has not returned my call yet.
Yeah, but that was 20 years ago. So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, Whoa, whoa, whoa,
man.
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:33
			That better in the two is the one who initiate peace. Please initiate peace.
		
00:17:34 --> 00:18:14
			minded people of this system came to me after the harbor, she was disappointed. She said, you know,
she, I really wanted to do what the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam taught us. I haven't been in
speaking terms with my brother for the past seven years. We pray the same message. I showed him. We
made eye contact. And I went to get him to give him a hug. But my brother turned and he walked away
from Willow he that breaks heart. We're lonely that destroys spirits. Because here you are. Somebody
is going to do this. And they just Japan live in a very old way. They look around and they walk
away. Sister called and she said, Yes, I have not heard of my father.
		
00:18:15 --> 00:18:21
			And I want to hug my father and my father said stop, stop. Don't Don't come any closer. Yeah, so how
		
00:18:25 --> 00:18:43
			can we really say that these are meaningful, healthy relationships, when we are unable to connect
with our loved ones in such a basic way. Brothers and sisters, that is not acceptable. So please,
insha Allah, if you have fasted this month of Ramadan, and May Allah subhanaw taala, accept or
fasting.
		
00:18:44 --> 00:19:03
			If we have fasted, then we want to see two things. We want to celebrate and we want to be happy, not
interesting. And the other thing is that we want to make sure that our relationships have actually
been fixed. May Allah and Allah fix our relationship to a polo Polo

			Alhamdulillah
		
00:19:11 --> 00:19:16
			wa Salatu was Salam ala rasulillah Mustafa will be a third of
		
00:19:17 --> 00:19:21
			the month of Ramadan. Such a beautiful month Subhan Allah.
		
00:19:23 --> 00:19:33
			And the departure of the month of Ramadan is disappointing. Because some of us have seen this change
that we have not noticed in ourselves before.
		
00:19:34 --> 00:19:55
			We were so concerned at the beginning that you know, this is going to be Ramadan in the month of
July and in the month of August. It's going to be hard. It's going to be a long day and oh my god,
do you know what's going to happen to us? hamdulillah only would happen to us. Nothing happened to
us. To the contrary, people would say it was an easy month. So Panama
		
00:19:56 --> 00:19:59
			and all the things that we thought were impossible prior to the month.
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:44
			From Oman, they became very possible. Man, if I don't have my cup of coffee in the morning I cannot
operate. I cannot think straight if I don't have coffee, if I don't smoke my cigarette in the
morning man I there is nothing that I can do. But somehow the law comes from us or from Oban and all
of this, what we thought was impossible became very possible. Most of us are that you know, coming
to the messenger twice a day frigid and praying for as long as we did, man, I don't have the time to
do this. But Subhanallah somehow in the month of Ramadan, we were able to do this. Ramadan gives us
a spiritual high. Unfortunately as soon as the month departs, the let downs begin. As somebody saw
		
00:20:44 --> 00:20:50
			nicely put it he said Jeff, today is really the day of he said I can feel that around.
		
00:20:52 --> 00:20:56
			them feeling it he said, I can just feeling them going back to work.
		
00:20:57 --> 00:21:42
			And so Pamela say that you know what, they will go back to work, but there is a way to fight back.
And it is keeping the good habits that we have started in the month of Ramadan. Please keep coming
to the masjid mission is not only open during the month of Ramadan, I promise you the message would
be would be open after the month of Ramadan as well. We still have access to the book of Allah
subhanho wa Taala we still can do charity, we still can do so many things. So inshallah please,
every good habit that we were able to bring into our days in the month of Ramadan, please keep that
alive. Please keep that alive, keep coming to the machine and keep spending time with your families.
		
00:21:43 --> 00:21:49
			And also the people that we played for during the month of Ramadan, are still in need of our
prayers.
		
00:21:50 --> 00:22:29
			People who are not feeling well May Allah Subhana Allah give them a speedy recovery or bellami
people who've passed away May Allah Subhana Allah bless their souls, nations that are not doing well
May Allah Subhana Allah bring them peace. We want to pray for the people of Syria, that may Allah
Subhana Allah destroy the oppressors. And may Allah Subhana Allah see the innocent. We want to pray
for the people of Egypt, that may Allah Subhana Allah guide them and protect the innocent Yara
palani. We want to pray for the people of Iran. Did you know that this month of Ramadan was the
deadliest month in Iraq.
		
00:22:31 --> 00:22:39
			Only the month of Ramadan was the deadliest month in Iraq. May Allah Subhana Allah grant them peace.
		
00:22:40 --> 00:22:59
			And you can say the same thing about the people of Gaza. And the people of Afghanistan and the
people of Burma and the people of Kashmir and the entire continent of Africa and the list goes on
and on and on. If we cannot do anything, then at least please remember the same people in our
prayers.
		
00:23:00 --> 00:23:48
			And then finally, also, on behalf of domestic we want to extend a sincere Mubarak to you and your
families if we have not seen you, begging of Allah Subhana Allah that He accepts our first year of
Bologna. Also on behalf of domestic and on your behalf. We'd like to extend a sincere condolences to
our brother power usage for devolution, who this community is very familiar with. His father passed
away in Morocco at a beautiful death as we been told, his father passed in the month of Ramadan. And
then he came to the reed place and he passed away while he was in there, he plays inside the masjid,
in the state of sudduth prostrating to Allah subhanho wa Taala

moment of departure from this world of Allah. Isn't that beautiful? Meeting Allah Subhana Allah is
finishing the month of Ramadan and coming to the west and going down on your face. And that is the
minute you meet your Creator Allah.
