			So when we are to embark upon a month, which is a blessing, the son of approach, the early scholars
approach to the month of Ramadan was what they would prepare for six months before the month of
Ramadan, and for five months after the month of Ramadan, because they knew that if they were
successful in this month that this month was the entire year would be fruitful. This was their
preparation, the entire day, rotated around the month of Ramadan, and the province of Oman.
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:57
			Oman knew the virtues of the month of Ramadan, they would wish that the entire year was Ramadan,
really how many people who were here last year with us in the month of Ramadan?
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:44
			This is a month which should change our lives. Like it changed the lives of other people. But why
does this month not change our lives? Why is it that this month has no impact? Because we have not
really understood the purpose of Ramadan? We think that the purpose of Ramadan is to abstain from
eating and drinking and that's it. And you could carry on with your business. This is not the
purpose of Ramadan. How often do you see many people that they don't eat, they don't drink this
fasting. But they lie they deceive. And the problem is a muscle of the person who doesn't leave live
and acting upon it deception that Allah leaves not for him to leave his food and his drink. How many
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:52
			people do you see you backbite in the month of Ramadan, look to eat and drink generally is what is
Hello.
		
00:01:53 --> 00:02:04
			And they will in the month of Ramadan. Allah makes that witches Khaled Haram. What about that
language is haram before? What about things like backbiting and the time
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:08
			they came to him and this little message Obama there are these two women
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:18
			and they're hungry. pangs of hunger, close to death, and the promise of someone that and he gave
each one of them a bone.
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:48
			And he said woman and the woman is into the bone, fresh flesh and blood sees me as a problem.
Brothers alas Allah said that these women, their clothes, their foster halaal but once they were
fasting, they were backbiting other people eating the flesh of other people. And really this is why
because we don't understand the purpose of fasting, breathing, don't eat, don't drink and carry on
like you did before. This is not the purpose of passing the romance of the Rufus law even later.
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:55
			In the June there are many people who first but they attain nothing from the past besides
		
00:02:56 --> 00:03:00
			their fasting they're praying but they are taking nothing from it. Why? Because
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:13
			the purpose of Ramadan Allah Allah clearly outlined the purpose of fasting in the Quran is a guy you
will know Xena Amano La Masia Kumar puja Allah.
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:28
			Allah say that we are prescribed last thing upon you like we prescribed it upon those who came
before you Why? So you may attain taqwa? What is Taka? Taka sobre la
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:58
			cabina Malik. What is taqwa? And he said, Oh Mira, we need Have you ever walked down a path which
has bones? What do you do? You gather your cloth so it doesn't get caught in the thorns. And you
take every step carefully. So one of the sources of friction with this is that when you go down the
path of life and you see all those things, the destruction of glamour and the glitter, round and the
mug cruise, you are careful.
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:13
			They will be those for whom the month of Ramadan is a source of blessing that by the time the month
of Ramadan finishes, all his sins are forgiven, besides the major, the major things you have to do
so
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:59
			you have to reap in front of a lot. You have to be repentant in front of Allah and you know this
deep voice to say, bro, you cry. What kind of man are you? Women cry. But the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam said that person who remember Allah Holly and that person who remember the last
month Allah is the clusion and he remembers a lot and he whipped on the day of judgment when they
will be no shade besides the shade of Allah and the sun will be at a miles distance. This person
will be under the shade of Allah, Allah on that day. The reality is that men who would want more
matching give me a new pride and wonderful last month Allah men like who men like the soul of Allah
		
00:04:59 --> 00:04:59
			holiday
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:00
			When
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:19
			this ratio is mentioned, the heart is about the alarm, he will pick up the front and he will recite
the word until, for me he would cry through out who was hot it was any man who was more mature. Was
there any more man who was stronger than hard it
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:35
			was this sort of Allah. He fought over 100 battles, and he lost one, this was hardly been released.
And he would cry for the one law because he understood that he could not fulfill the rights of
Allah.
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:59
			And therefore many people after the month of Ramadan, they will be like the day that they were born,
they will be pleased. But for many people, the month of Ramadan will be a source of destruction.
Remember, members of Robert de la ley was ascending the pulpit and he said amin upon the first step,
and then he said amin upon the second step, and amin upon the third step, and the
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:33
			Messenger of Allah we saw you do a thing today that we've never seen you do before. And the Robin
the Muslim said that you Brian came to me. And he said, Whoa, to that person who reaches the month
of Ramadan and eat and who is thirsty, Jabra is the greatest of the ages. And who is saying our
means a lot and I was alone. Is there any doubt that this law will be accepted by law? And you look
at our houses what happened in the month of Ramadan? We eat more in Ramadan than we eat the rest of
the year.
		
00:06:34 --> 00:07:25
			Then how are we going to attain taqwa? We need more in the month of Ramadan than the entire year we
eat. And what the status thing of all is that women, they spend more time cooking than they spend in
the above about Amazon. In the morning, they're shopping in the afternoon, from the floor to their
behind, they understood cooking. This is a month what the progress what nothing, when nothing is
equivalent to a forum. And once per is equivalent to 74. And therefore we need to derive maximum
benefit from this month really. And we must ensure that our women spend more time in worship than
they spend upon this tool. And really there are people out there. Even today. They will open their
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:49
			forests with water and they will close it with water. There will be people who are my brothers and
sisters, your brothers and sisters die out of hunger this year. The only thing is we're concerned
about is Islam. The province a Muslim said that there is nothing more dislikeable last Mandela than
when a person eats to the food. So therefore the month of Ramadan is the month that we prepare
ourselves that we inculcate in our life.
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:56
			We inculcate in our life. Because the prophets, Allah Salam said, this is the month of Southern chef
who
		
00:07:57 --> 00:08:17
			will stop swaddle, Jana, and sobor is rewarded. And really, this is a basic requirement if anything
in life, and this is why it's in the manga Ramadan group of people the Sahaba, the son of they had
taqwa. And this is what the *'s one law came. This was in the month of Ramadan.
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:30
			When the Muslim took over Spain, in 92 feature, it was the month of Ramadan. When it's loading up
Ramadan, la la, booted out a crusade from Syria.
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:40
			In 5082, it was the month of Ramadan. Why? Because these were people who understood that this was a
month of taqwa and a month of
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:59
			months of sleeping. Really, if there was any time that we need to inculcate in our children, taqwa
and somebody today, but the unfortunate reality is that parents do anything but in our case, one day
children come Ramadan, the child's body, fasting is forced upon the child, and they think
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:45
			only a child has to go to school is the command of Allah. What are you teaching your child you're
inculcating in your child that he should transgress the law the one law instead of inculcated taqwa.
And they think that they've been kind to their child, you're being kind to your child, you're
spoiling the child. Akira is the same child didn't go to school. If the same child didn't find a
job, they would sit him down and give him a lecture as long as they are wise because this is the
thing that we know that Allah will test you in all walks of your life. He will test you with faith
with hunger. He will test you with your life with your wealth with your fruit. And then they Allah
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:49
			they give glad tidings for those who are stubborn, really
		
00:09:50 --> 00:09:59
			the smallest calamity before we begin to shake and quiver and we are geyser Allah Do you think
Gemini
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:00
			It
		
00:10:02 --> 00:10:06
			does look a lot to learn what to do as a sacrifice
