Yusuf Gassiep – Naseegah Segment #04

Another beautiful day in this beautiful

auspicious

great month,

the month of Ramadan,

a month of hope,

a month of opportunities,

a month which

takes much from us

physically

and gives back so much spiritually

and emotionally.

The Prophet

is reported to have said on the authority

of Anas

Have suhoor. Have the morning

meal

for

in it, there is barakah.

The life of a Muslim

as a prophet prayed

for Barakah

in the early

hours

of the morning of a Muslim.

So when a Muslim wakes up during the

month of Ramadan

and he has this meal,

he forces himself because not everybody

is a breakfast person.

The prophet

speaks about this concept

of suhoor

being one of Barakah.

What is Barakah?

Barakah,

as the scholars explained to us, it's an

increase in goodness.

Standing

up half an hour before fajr, 40 minutes

before fajr,

affords you the opportunity

to be awake in the last

3rd of the night.

A portion of the night in which Allah

readily

accepts

your dua.

Beside being

a time for a meal and a time

to sit around the table with the family,

It's that moment in time

where we have to share

with Allah Subhanahu

Wa Ta'ala.

Allah

calls out

to his slaves

and says, who wishes to be forgiven

so that I may forgive him?

And so inshallah to Allah,

when we make our intention

to fast tomorrow,

though we did not have the intention

to make the suhoor

and have a meal,

do it for the sake of Allah Subhanahu

Wa Ta'ala.

Do it because it is a sunnah of

Rasulullah salallahu alaihi wa salam.

Do it because the prophet salallahu alaihi wa

salam guarantees for

you barakah

once

we do it. We pray that Allah

grants us the understanding

and the ability to practice

This Ramadan,

do more.

SANTAV,

changing lives through development and relief.
