			Another beautiful day in this beautiful
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:21
			auspicious
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:22
			great month,
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:24
			the month of Ramadan,
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:26
			a month of hope,
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:28
			a month of opportunities,
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:30
			a month which
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:33
			takes much from us
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:34
			physically
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:37
			and gives back so much spiritually
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:39
			and emotionally.
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:40
			The Prophet
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:45
			is reported to have said on the authority
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:46
			of Anas
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:55
			Have suhoor. Have the morning
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:56
			meal
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:57
			for
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:00
			in it, there is barakah.
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:02
			The life of a Muslim
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:04
			as a prophet prayed
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:06
			for Barakah
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:07
			in the early
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:08
			hours
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:11
			of the morning of a Muslim.
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:13
			So when a Muslim wakes up during the
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:14
			month of Ramadan
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:16
			and he has this meal,
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:19
			he forces himself because not everybody
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:21
			is a breakfast person.
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:22
			The prophet
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:24
			speaks about this concept
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:25
			of suhoor
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:27
			being one of Barakah.
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:29
			What is Barakah?
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:30
			Barakah,
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:33
			as the scholars explained to us, it's an
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:34
			increase in goodness.
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:36
			Standing
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:39
			up half an hour before fajr, 40 minutes
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:40
			before fajr,
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:42
			affords you the opportunity
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:44
			to be awake in the last
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:46
			3rd of the night.
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:49
			A portion of the night in which Allah
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:51
			readily
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:52
			accepts
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:53
			your dua.
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:55
			Beside being
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:58
			a time for a meal and a time
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:01
			to sit around the table with the family,
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:04
			It's that moment in time
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:06
			where we have to share
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:07
			with Allah Subhanahu
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:08
			Wa Ta'ala.
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:10
			Allah
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:11
			calls out
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:13
			to his slaves
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:16
			and says, who wishes to be forgiven
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:18
			so that I may forgive him?
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:20
			And so inshallah to Allah,
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:22
			when we make our intention
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:24
			to fast tomorrow,
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:27
			though we did not have the intention
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:28
			to make the suhoor
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:30
			and have a meal,
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:32
			do it for the sake of Allah Subhanahu
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:33
			Wa Ta'ala.
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:36
			Do it because it is a sunnah of
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:38
			Rasulullah salallahu alaihi wa salam.
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:41
			Do it because the prophet salallahu alaihi wa
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:42
			salam guarantees for
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:44
			you barakah
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:44
			once
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:47
			we do it. We pray that Allah
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:49
			grants us the understanding
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:52
			and the ability to practice
		
00:02:58 --> 00:02:59
			This Ramadan,
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:00
			do more.
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:02
			SANTAV,
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:05
			changing lives through development and relief.
