00:00:01--> 00:00:02

So in one line,

00:00:03--> 00:00:06

how can the Muslim brothers and sisters around

00:00:06--> 00:00:06

the world

00:00:06--> 00:00:07

remain steadfast

00:00:08--> 00:00:09

from what they

00:00:10--> 00:00:11

achieved in Ramadan.

00:00:11--> 00:00:12

Alhamdulillah.

00:00:13--> 00:00:14

Wassa Allahu Assalam. Alahu

00:00:27--> 00:00:27

If a Muslim

00:00:28--> 00:00:30

goes through the month of Ramadan,

00:00:30--> 00:00:32

and he fasts

00:00:33--> 00:00:34

during the day,

00:00:34--> 00:00:37

and he offers the night prayer during the

00:00:37--> 00:00:37

night,

00:00:38--> 00:00:39

and he's accustomed

00:00:40--> 00:00:41

to doing the good deeds

00:00:42--> 00:00:44

then Insha'Allah he should continue

00:00:44--> 00:00:47

doing the same things throughout the year.

00:00:47--> 00:00:50

This is the sign of a true believer

00:00:51--> 00:00:53

and Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is ever

00:00:54--> 00:00:55

watching. Indeed,

00:00:56--> 00:00:57

steadfastness

00:00:58--> 00:00:59

after the month of Ramadan,

00:01:00--> 00:01:03

it it is the greatest sign what a

00:01:03--> 00:01:05

person has achieved in the month of Ramadan.

00:01:06--> 00:01:06

And

00:01:07--> 00:01:08

a person

00:01:09--> 00:01:11

who is steadfast after Ramadan and he continued

00:01:11--> 00:01:13

doing the good deeds of the fries

00:01:15--> 00:01:17

and night prayers and sunnah etcetera.

00:01:18--> 00:01:21

It is one of the best signs

00:01:21--> 00:01:22

that

00:01:23--> 00:01:25

his fasting had been accepted by Allah

00:01:25--> 00:01:26

It's sign of his symptoms.

00:01:27--> 00:01:28

And Allah says in the Quran in Suri

00:01:28--> 00:01:31

Fazilat chapter number 41, verse number 30.

00:01:33--> 00:01:34

In case Buhluh say,

00:01:45--> 00:01:47

And they say, fury not,

00:01:48--> 00:01:49

nor you grieve.

00:01:51--> 00:01:53

And Insha Allah, glad tidings will descend on

00:01:53--> 00:01:54

you

00:01:54--> 00:01:58

of the eternal bliss that is Jannah, paradise,

00:01:58--> 00:02:00

which is promised for people like you. And

00:02:00--> 00:02:02

I repeat the message in Zoya Akraf chapter

00:02:02--> 00:02:03

number 46

00:02:03--> 00:02:04

verse number 13

00:02:05--> 00:02:05

that

00:02:06--> 00:02:06

indeed

00:02:07--> 00:02:09

those who say that Allah is our Lord

00:02:09--> 00:02:09

and

00:02:10--> 00:02:12

stand firm and steadfast on them shall be

00:02:12--> 00:02:14

no grieve nor will they have any fear.

00:02:14--> 00:02:16

And our beloved Prophet Musallahu alaihi wa sallam

00:02:16--> 00:02:18

said, it's mentioned the hadith

00:02:18--> 00:02:19

of Sayi Muslim

00:02:20--> 00:02:20

1

00:02:21--> 00:02:22

in the book of purification,

00:02:23--> 00:02:24

hadith number 450.

00:02:26--> 00:02:27

Musa Salaam said

00:02:27--> 00:02:28

that

00:02:28--> 00:02:29

the 5 daily prayers

00:02:30--> 00:02:30

and

00:02:31--> 00:02:32

1 Jumasalah to the next Jumasalah

00:02:33--> 00:02:35

and 1 Ramadan to the next Samdan.

00:02:35--> 00:02:37

These are the period for the expiration of

00:02:37--> 00:02:39

your sins as long as you have trained

00:02:39--> 00:02:41

from major sins. All these acts

00:02:42--> 00:02:43

5 daily prayers,

00:02:44--> 00:02:44

Jumasala

00:02:45--> 00:02:46

and Ramadan Ramadan as long as they have

00:02:46--> 00:02:49

obtained from major sins. During these acts, it's

00:02:49--> 00:02:50

expression of your sins.

00:02:51--> 00:02:53

So once you follow the month of Ramadan

00:02:53--> 00:02:54

properly following all the command of Allah Subhanahu

00:02:54--> 00:02:57

Wa Ta'ala, and then stay steadfast and the

00:02:57--> 00:02:58

next Ramadan Insha'Allah,

00:02:58--> 00:03:00

all your sins except for the major they'll

00:03:00--> 00:03:02

be forgiven. It's mentioned in Sayyid Muslim,

00:03:03--> 00:03:04

volume number 1,

00:03:04--> 00:03:07

in the book of faith, hadith number 62,

00:03:08--> 00:03:09

the beloved prophet Musallahu alaihi wa sallam

00:03:10--> 00:03:12

once did the person who comes to him

00:03:12--> 00:03:14

and he asked him that, oh prophet,

00:03:14--> 00:03:16

tell me regarding the Deen of Islam something

00:03:16--> 00:03:18

which after which I will not have to

00:03:18--> 00:03:18

go to anyone

00:03:19--> 00:03:22

besides you. And the prophet said, believe in

00:03:22--> 00:03:23

Allah

00:03:24--> 00:03:27

and remain steadfast in it. Allah says in

00:03:27--> 00:03:30

Suri Ibrahim chapter number 14 verse number 27.

00:03:31--> 00:03:31

Allah

00:03:32--> 00:03:33

will establish

00:03:34--> 00:03:34

those

00:03:35--> 00:03:36

firm in faith,

00:03:36--> 00:03:37

who believe in the word,

00:03:38--> 00:03:38

and then

00:03:39--> 00:03:41

stand firm and steadfast.

00:03:42--> 00:03:44

And Allah will let astray those who do

00:03:44--> 00:03:45

wrong.

00:03:45--> 00:03:46

From this verse of the Quran,

00:03:47--> 00:03:49

we come to know that a person

00:03:51--> 00:03:52

should be steadfast

00:03:52--> 00:03:54

in faith and inshallah those are the people

00:03:54--> 00:03:57

or the righteous people. The beloved prophet Muhammad

00:03:57--> 00:03:58

Sallallahu Alaihi wa sallam said, it's mentioned say

00:03:58--> 00:04:01

Buhari 1 number 7 in the book of

00:04:01--> 00:04:02

dress, hadith number

00:04:02--> 00:04:03

5861,

00:04:07--> 00:04:09

she says that Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam used

00:04:09--> 00:04:11

to construct a room with the Hasid and

00:04:11--> 00:04:13

pray in it during nighttime,

00:04:13--> 00:04:15

and daytime used to flatten it and sit

00:04:15--> 00:04:16

on it.

00:04:16--> 00:04:18

Later on, when people came to know, they

00:04:18--> 00:04:20

started playing along with the prophet, and the

00:04:20--> 00:04:23

group kept on increasing. And when it increased

00:04:23--> 00:04:24

to a large number, the prophet turn and

00:04:24--> 00:04:25

told them that

00:04:26--> 00:04:28

do the deeds how much you can

00:04:28--> 00:04:30

do, but be constant in it.

00:04:31--> 00:04:33

Even though it is few, that being constant

00:04:33--> 00:04:33

is important

00:04:34--> 00:04:36

for Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala does not get

00:04:36--> 00:04:37

tired of giving rewards,

00:04:37--> 00:04:40

but you can get tired. It's not sure

00:04:40--> 00:04:42

to say buhary, volume number 8, hadith number

00:04:42--> 00:04:43

64

00:04:44--> 00:04:46

65. How the Aisha she

00:04:46--> 00:04:47

narrates.

00:04:47--> 00:04:48

The Prophet said,

00:04:49--> 00:04:51

the most loved deed by Allah

00:04:51--> 00:04:52

are those deeds

00:04:53--> 00:04:56

that are done constantly, even though they're few.

00:04:56--> 00:04:58

So the prophet said, do those deeds

00:04:58--> 00:05:01

which you're able to do, don't over yourself.

00:05:02--> 00:05:04

And Allah loves those deeds which are constant

00:05:04--> 00:05:05

even though they're few.

00:05:05--> 00:05:06

So

00:05:07--> 00:05:09

it's the duty of every Muslim that

00:05:10--> 00:05:11

after the month of Ramadan,

00:05:11--> 00:05:13

he should remain steadfast in their faith.

00:05:14--> 00:05:16

If he used to file with the month

00:05:16--> 00:05:19

of Ramadan, yet here the portion it is

00:05:19--> 00:05:21

to do the voluntary fast with the prophet

00:05:21--> 00:05:24

had recommended throughout the year. If a person

00:05:24--> 00:05:25

used

00:05:25--> 00:05:26

to pray at nighttime

00:05:27--> 00:05:28

during the month of Ramadan everyday, he can

00:05:28--> 00:05:31

knit pray at night time after Ramadan. If

00:05:31--> 00:05:34

you still give the towards the end of

00:05:34--> 00:05:36

the month of Ramadan, he can give charity

00:05:36--> 00:05:37

for the full year.

00:05:37--> 00:05:38

And all the good deal that is to

00:05:38--> 00:05:40

do with reading the Quran in the month

00:05:40--> 00:05:41

of Ramadan, he can continue toward

00:05:42--> 00:05:45

the year. So person whatever good he has

00:05:45--> 00:05:47

achieved in month of Ramadan, he should remain

00:05:47--> 00:05:49

steadfast in it, and that is the sign

00:05:49--> 00:05:49

of acceptance.

00:05:50--> 00:05:51

prosperous.

00:05:50--> 00:05:51

prosperous.
