The sins that we commit.
There's a saying that I heard many years
ago.
That's always stuck in my mind We should
keep this in in in mind also that
a person he is In the month of
Ramadan the halal things basically become Impermissible for
him.
I won't use the word haram But impermissible
for him on a temporary basis a consuming
food Generally speaking if we're eating the halal
food it is there's nothing wrong with it
when when we are eating But in the
month of Ramadan it becomes prohibited for us
and the same thing about drinking liquids Which
are halal generally it is halal, but it
becomes impermissible for us in the month of
Ramadan intimacy with one's wife Completely permissible, but
during the day while fasting that becomes impermissible
for us So these halal things Become prohibited
in the month of Ramadan.
So what do you think about those things
which are already haram?
that is That is the attitude that we
should have When halal things have become prohibited
for us, then what do you think about
haram?
This is what we are supposed to be
practicing.
This is the time for Implementing the practice
so that after the month of Ramadan we
also Stay away from those same maasi and
I will just finish off with a hadith
in which the Prophet alayhi salatu was salam
It's a very famous hadith that a person
should think about When he is going through
the month of Ramadan and think that am
I one of those people that the Prophet
alayhi salatu was salam was mentioning.
Anas says that the Prophet alayhi salatu was
salam He ascended the mimbar one day.
He was going up on the mimbar to
give the khutbah one day He went up
the stairs and he said I mean, I
mean, I mean three times.
He said I mean so after the khutbah
The Sahaba asked him Ya Rasulullah ala ma
ammans.
Why did you say I mean?
You know, we didn't see anything.
We didn't hear anything, but it seemed like
you were saying I mean to a particular
dua So the Prophet alayhi salatu was salam,
he said Atani Jibreel fa qal Jibreel alayhi
salam the angel came to me and he
said ya muhammad Raghima anfu rajulin dhukirta indahu
falam yusalli alayk Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam May
Allah swt curse the person or may that
person be cursed or may he be disgraced
upon in front of whom your name is
mentioned or Prophet of Allah and You and
that person doesn't make salawat upon you So
and he told Jibreel alayhi salam told that
the Prophet alayhi salatu was salam, qul ameen,
say ameen Qul ameen, he commanded him to
say ameen So the Prophet alayhi salatu was
salam, he said ameen and then the second
dua that Jibreel alayhi salam made was Raghima
anfu rajulin dhukirta indahu falam yusalli alayk dhukirta
indahu falam yusalli alayk sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
Upon whom the month of Ramadan enters and
he Goes through the month of Ramadan and
he wastes it to such a degree that
he is not forgiven from his sins And
what it seems like is that the default
For a human being the default for a
muslim should be forgiveness.
This should be the normal course of affairs
It's not something which is rare or extraordinary
or something that a person should not expect
The expected course of events is that a
person if he's working hard If he's doing
what he's supposed to be doing in Ramadan,
the normal thing should be that he is
forgiven And it's abnormal for him not to
be forgiven.
So Jibreel alayhi salam made this dua for
the person that it's so Strange for a
person to be going through the month of
Ramadan.
He's not forgiven.
Surely.
He must be a disgraced person So then
again, he told him qul ameen the Prophet
alayhi salatu was salam said ameen and the
third thing We have probably youngsters here out
of college and school think about what Jibreel
alayhi salam is saying here May that
person be disgraced who finds His parents or
even one of them in old age and
they don't enter him into paradise They don't
enter him into paradise meaning because of him
serving them and and Because of him not
serving them and because of him Not because
of them not making dua for him.
He does not enter paradise.
This person surely is disgraced So if our
parents are old and they need us from
time to time They need us they need
financial assistance from us from time to time
from time to time They need us to
visit them from time to time, especially if
they're living in a different country from here
We should make Every opportunity that we can
to try to visit them This is part
of their right and the person who does
not enter jannah by serving them as the
prophet alayhi salatu was salam Made said ameen
to the dua of jibreel alayhi salam We
should we should make dua that we are
not from amongst those people but the point
that that we are talking about here is
the month of ramadan and the fact that
This is a golden opportunity for us to
get the forgiveness of allah subhanahu wa ta
'ala we should not lose this opportunity and
if we do then surely surely surely we
are disgraced because Jibreel alayhi salam the closest
angel to allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is
making the dua And the prophet alayhi salatu
was salam is saying ameen to that dua
How much of a disgrace is it for
that person to lose this opportunity this blessed
opportunity?
To get close to allah subhanahu wa ta
'ala at this time to get his forgiveness
surely that person may be must be disgraced
I pray that allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
gives us tawfiq to understand and practice what
has been said and heard And gives us
tawfiq to benefit as much as we can
from this upcoming month and makes us from
amongst those people That are forgiven at the
end of the blessed month of ramadan
