[24:46]Holy Night by the way a night of Dua a night of

[24:48]Allah subhana wa ta'ala rewarding people and giving people the reward and

[24:53]a night a night of as well as we reach the end

[24:59]of the holy month of Ramadan this is a time to reflect

[25:06]this is a time to think and Ponder upon the blessings of

[25:12]Allah subhah wa ta'ala upon us there are so many blessings that

[25:16]Allah subhah wa tala has given us some blessings they are we

[25:22]see them apparent and there are some blessings that are hidden that

[25:26]we don't even see that we don't even notice that we don't

[25:29]don't remember to thank Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala for if you were

[25:36]able to fast during this month the last 30 days that means

[25:41]Allah subhana wa tala has given you the health and this is

[25:44]a to thank Allah for this is a blessing that we have

[25:49]to be thankful for a blessing of Health that you are healthy

[25:51]enough to be able to fast because there were some people that

[25:56]were unable to fast during the month of Ramadan because their health

[26:00]does not allow them to do so if you have your family

[26:03]with you if you broke with your broke your fast with your

[26:09]family with your friends with your relatives this is also something to

[26:14]be thankful for there are some people they're eating alone probably there

[26:19]are some people they have no one in their lives and if

[26:21]you were able to spend that time with your family this is

[26:27]a blessing from Allah subhana tala if you have food many of

[26:30]us probably all of us when we eat we have at least

[26:36]two types of meals in front of us there's always more than

[26:39]one type of food this is a from Allah subhana wa tala

[26:43]upon us this is one of the biggest blessings in our lives

[26:48]that we have access to food we don't have to go hungry

[26:51]right now this Ramadan is especially unique because while we are speaking

[26:57]there are Muslim that are they have to stand in Lin for

[27:02]hours just so that they could get one meal the Muslims in

[27:05]Gaza the Muslims in palese they don't have the food and we

[27:11]have alhamdulillah so much food so much blessings this is a from

[27:14]Allah subhah wa ta'ala upon us that we have to thank Allah

[27:20]subhah wa ta'ala for if you have friends one of the beautiful

[27:23]things that for most of you for many of you you've been

[27:29]Gathering here and seeing your friends every night this is a blessing

[27:33]I know some people as soon as the day of the next

[27:38]after the month of Ramadan finishes the programs become L they get

[27:41]bored they get tired they don't see friends they don't socialize this

[27:45]is a that we get to see our friends we get to

[27:49]see our families we get to socialize every day and we need

[27:52]good people in our lives we need to associate with people that

[27:57]come to the Masjid together people pray together people that recite du

[28:01]together this is a big blessing in our life that we have

[28:05]to thank Allah subhah wa tala for and above all the biggest

[28:11]blessing in our life is the blessing of Iman the blessing of

[28:13]faith that we need to show gratitude for that we need to

[28:19]thank Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala for my dear brothers and sisters every

[28:24]single person seeks happiness every single person person seeks to be happy

[28:30]but people try to find that happiness in different ways some people

[28:36]they say I'm going to attain happiness through wealth some people through

[28:41]work some people through spending time with this group of people some

[28:45]people through traveling some people through different ways and these are all

[28:51]ways that could probably bring happiness in one way or another to

[28:55]our lives however there's one thing that uh truly if we have

[29:03]that we will teach ourselves to be happy and we will teach

[29:06]ourselves to be content and that is being grateful to always put

[29:15]yourself in the habit of being positive minded always being grateful always

[29:21]looking at the cup half full rather than half empty and there

[29:26]are some people like that we encounter people in life there are

[29:30]some people you see them they're always positive they're always uplifting they're

[29:34]always Pleasant even in times of difficulties even in times of pain

[29:38]alhamdulillah they're always looking at the brighter side they're always looking for

[29:43]something to say alhamdulillah and then there's other people every time you

[29:46]see them they are down and they're bring everyone else down with

[29:53]them they always look at the negative side the negative aspect of

[29:57]things so one of the teachings of Islam is that it teaches

[30:03]us to be grateful it teaches us to be thankful it teaches

[30:06]us to reflect on that which is positive in our lives and

[30:13]if you have that that is the fastest way to happiness even

[30:17]if you don't have what people might have what other people might

[30:22]have you don't have the wealth you don't have the power you

[30:25]might not have the health all these things but if you have

[30:27]gratefulness you're going to be happy and those who do not have

[30:32]it they're never going to be happy even if they have everything

[30:36]in their life so one of the fastest ways to living a

[30:41]happy life is by being grateful and Allah subhah wa tala says

[30:47]in the Quran very small group of people they are Shakur they

[30:55]are thankful and they show appreciation to Allah subhah waala but we

[31:02]need to teach ourselves Allah subhana tala says in the Quran if

[31:08]you sit and you try to count all of the blessings of

[31:13]Allah subhah wa ta'ala in your life you will never be able

[31:16]to calculate them you'll never be able to count all of the

[31:20]blessings so if there are so many blessings in my life why

[31:22]should I be down why should I not be grateful why should

[31:26]I not say alhamdulillah when I wake up why should I not

[31:29]say for all of the blessings that we have in our lives

[31:35]and Allah subhana wa tala has commanded us we have been instructed

[31:47]and ordered by Allah subhah wa ta'ala to show appreciation and thanks

[31:52]now what happens when we show gratitude what happens to our mind

[31:57]what happens to our soul what happens to our heart right now

[32:01]the month of Ramadan is finishing one of the major lessons that

[32:04]we learn from the month of Ramadan is that we have to

[32:08]be grateful this is why at the end on the day of

[32:13]everyone has to give zakat this is why on the day ofid

[32:14]this is the day that Allah subhah wa ta'ala will forgive us

[32:18]for our sins this is the day that Allah subhah wa ta'ala

[32:21]will bless us we have to be grateful the month of Ramadan

[32:25]teaches us to be grateful for the food for the rest for

[32:28]the health for everything that we have in our lives what happens

[32:32]when a person becomes grateful one of the first things that happens

[32:38]to a person that becomes grateful is that this person will be

[32:42]positive minded because it makes you when you say alhamdulillah when you

[32:50]say shrah when you put yourself in the habit of always being

[32:52]grateful then you're always going to look at the cup half full

[32:58]then you're always going to see the blessings in your lives and

[33:02]sometimes there are some blessings in our lives perhaps the greatest blessings

[33:07]in our lives are the ones that we tend to not be

[33:12]thankful for do I thank Allah for example that my heart is

[33:15]functioning properly do I thank Allah for my liver do I thank

[33:22]Allah for my intestines but for my lungs for my eyes for

[33:26]my muscles all this do we thank Allah subhana tala for these

[33:33]things usually we don't usually we Overlook these things so when we

[33:39]teach ourselves to have that gratitude then we start thinking of all

[33:43]of the blessings in our lives many blessings in our lives often

[33:47]times we Overlook the blessing of the Sun for example today there

[33:53]was an eclipse and it you see people's lives if they say

[34:00]you can't even look at the sun when there's an eclipse because

[34:03]it's going to damage your eyes it's going to hurt you this

[34:05]is one of the blessings that we usually don't even thank Allah

[34:10]subhana tala for the blessing of the moon the stars the weather

[34:13]all of these things that we have in our lives that Allah

[34:17]subhana wa tal has given us these are all things that we

[34:22]Overlook when we teach ourselves to be grateful then we begin to

[34:25]thank Allah subhah wa ta'ala for all of of these blessings second

[34:30]when you teach yourself to be grateful then you start becoming appreciative

[34:36]to the people and the things that are being the source of

[34:41]blessings in your life for example if you're grateful for the relationships

[34:48]that you have grateful for the friends that you are friends with

[34:52]for your spouse your wife your husband your children your parents you

[34:57]appreciate Allah subhah wa ta'ala what are you going to automatically do

[35:03]you're going to begin to take care of that relationship if I'm

[35:07]grateful for a friend in my life then I'm going to take

[35:10]care of that friendship if I'm grateful for my wife a wife

[35:15]is grateful for her husband then they begin to take care of

[35:16]each other and when you take care of one another you will

[35:21]benefit more from it you will benefit from that relationship I'm grateful

[35:25]for a place that I could gather and pray I'm grateful for

[35:29]the Masjid then I will take care of the Masjid then I

[35:33]will start attending the Masjid I'm grateful for the Quran in my

[35:36]life then I will read the Quran I'm grateful for all of

[35:38]the blessings that we have in our lives then we begin to

[35:43]take care of them but often times perhaps the most important things

[35:47]in our lives we tend to overlook and we do not show

[35:54]appreciation for and then we start neglecting these very important things things

[35:58]in our lives we start having shortcomings towards the Masjid towards a

[36:02]wife towards the husband a husband towards the wife friends whatever you

[36:06]have in your life if you are grateful to it you take

[36:10]care of it and when you take care of it it gives

[36:11]back more to you you benefit more from all of these things

[36:15]that you have in your lives now how can a person show

[36:20]gratitude how do we show gratefulness one is by knowing the blessings

[36:27]that are coming your way when you acknowledge someone in your life

[36:32]you acknowledge how much value this person gives in your life then

[36:36]that means you're being Greatful God Allah subhana tala has given you

[36:40]everything one of the ways of being grateful is just by knowing

[36:43]and understanding that everything that you have is from Allah subhana wa

[36:48]tala Allah subhana wa taala tells Prophet mam he tells him oh

[36:56]thank me the way I deserve to be thanked and appreciated so

[37:04]he says he says how should I thank you if I thank

[37:15]you with my words you gave me that tongue if I thank

[37:19]you with money you gave me that money if I thank you

[37:23]with my hands you gave me these hands how am I supposed

[37:25]to thank you when everything that I have is from you Allah

[37:32]subhah tala tells him you have appreciated me when you know that

[37:41]this is all from God so just the fact that you know

[37:45]that all of the blessings that you have in your life are

[37:47]from Allah subhah wa ta'ala then you have appreciated Allah subhana wa

[37:56]ta'ala and Allah subhana taala teaches us to to show appreciation for

[38:00]people in your life there are some people they do not show

[38:03]appreciation you have someone in your life they've served you they helped

[38:07]you they've done so much and they're ungrateful they don't even acknowledge

[38:11]what this person has done and this is wrong this is wrong

[38:16]Allah subhana wa tala tells us to show appreciation to God show

[38:21]gratefulness to God show gratefulness to your parents Allah says you have

[38:39]to show appreciation to God and you have to show appreciation to

[38:42]your parents they go hand in hand with one another so in

[38:46]addition to that we have to show appreciation to people that have

[38:51]helped us to people that have been there for us in our

[38:53]lives it's not good it's not a good quality to be UNG

[39:01]grateful if you do not appreciate the blessings of people that have

[39:08]towards you then that means you have not appreciated Allah subhana wa

[39:14]ta'ala and this is this is one of the best mental exercises

[39:18]spiritual exercises that we have sit and think about how I should

[39:22]appreciate people in my life who has helped me who has supported

[39:27]me who has been there for me when I appreciate them when

[39:29]I know that that this person has had a positive impact in

[39:34]my life then what do I do then I take care of

[39:35]that relationship then I start respecting that person more then I start

[39:39]following what the religion of Islam tells us to do when it

[39:44]comes to dealing with other people and then we will have healthy

[39:46]relationships but when I'm not appreciative when I only want to benefit

[39:51]and I want other people to you know do everything for me

[39:56]and they they benefit me and I don't even show them thanks

[39:59]I don't show appreciation then eventually these people are going to start

[40:05]getting tired eventually they're going to say you know what that's enough

[40:08]and you're going to lose on that relationship when you don't show

[40:13]gratitude so knowing number one second sometimes we have to show it

[40:22]show our gratefulness through words through showing thanks by saying thank you

[40:28]by uttering ing words and we do that with Allah subhana tala

[40:31]and we do this with people Allah subhana tala says some people

[40:40]Allah subhana tala will reward them Heaven because of the words that

[40:44]they uttered just because they said shukr they said alhamdulillah you know

[40:47]some people when you talk to them they're very good they they

[40:51]know how to show appreciation in their tongue in their words and

[40:55]this is a very good quality to have one day IM he

[41:03]was out in in the mid and he leaves the Masjid and

[41:09]he sees that his horse or whatever he was riding the daa

[41:11]meaning a camel or a horse or a mule or whatever it

[41:15]is he was riding it's gone it's not there anymore you know

[41:22]you can't put it on Park you can't put a a horse

[41:23]on Park it's it walks away so what happens IM sad he

[41:30]says oh Allah in front of all his companions he says oh

[41:36]Allah if you send this back to me I will thank you

[41:40]in the way that you deserve to be thanked so a while

[41:46]later they come and they find and the the mule or whatever

[41:48]it is the animal it comes back and IM sad he says

[41:54]alhamdulillah and the companion iions of IM sad they said that's it

[42:00]you just said alhamdulillah the IM he says yes I said alhamdulillah

[42:06]alhamdulillah is it means I'm thanking Allah subhana wa tala for and

[42:13]this is one of the ways of showing thanks how many of

[42:15]us have taught ourselves to say alhamdulillah in our lives after you

[42:21]eat do we say alhamdulillah when we wake up do we say

[42:24]alhamdulillah when we are able to open our eyes when we're able

[42:29]to get up and be healthy just say alhamdulillah you don't lose

[42:34]anything you only gain when you show thanks to Allah subhana wa

[42:37]tala you only benefit when you show thanks to Allah subhanahu wa

[42:41]ta'ala and Allah will reward a person Paradise just by the words

[42:49]that they utter in aith from IM he says so see this

[42:59]is water you you he says if someone someone could drink water

[43:07]and Allah subhana wa taala will make Heaven Paradise obligatory upon this

[43:13]person for the simple Act of drinking water he says how he

[43:17]says this person takes the bottle or the cup of water you

[43:28]say and then you drink and then you move it away You're

[43:36]Still thirsty you still want that water you move it away and

[43:41]then you say alhamdulillah you say alhamdulillah this is a blessing that

[43:46]Allah subhana tala has given me then he drinks again then you

[43:53]move it again and you say alhamdulillah so you sayah you drink

[43:59]and then you say alhamdulillah and then you you you pause and

[44:03]then you say alhamdulillah after drinking twice and then he says so

[44:09]one time and three times alhamdulillah Allah makes J for that simple

[44:19]act why because now you're acknowledging and appreciating this is a blessing

[44:24]from Allah subhah wa ta'ala upon you and when we do that

[44:31]we stop wasting we stop throwing away food we stop we start

[44:36]appreciating the blessings in our lives by the simple Act of saying

[44:39]alhamdulillah this is with Allah subhana wa ta'ala and also with people

[44:44]in our lives sometimes we need to say thank you sometimes we

[44:47]need to say positive words of encouragement you can't just live your

[44:51]life without saying thank you and appreciation to the people in your

[44:58]life when you do Allah tala will reward and will bless that

[45:02]relationship that you have so we said ways of showing gratitude one

[45:05]is in the mind and in the heart you know that what

[45:10]you have is from Allah second is through the word and third

[45:16]is what action action our actions they're a reflection of what's in

[45:21]our heart and what they're reflection of what's in our mind and

[45:25]showing thanks it has multiple ways Allah says in the Quran oh

[45:36]family of of what does that mean that means you have to

[45:40]show your thanks you have to show your gratitude to Allah subhanahu

[45:44]wa ta'ala show your gratitude by giving back by spending from your

[45:51]time maybe you're volunteering maybe you're tutoring maybe you're teaching someone you

[45:56]have knowledge what what's the best way money has zakat you give

[46:02]money if you have knowledge if you have skills some something good

[46:05]that you have that other people do not have what do you

[46:09]do with that spreading that knowledge teaching other people empowering other people

[46:15]educating other people these are all ways of showing gratitude and by

[46:23]giving back one of the ways that Allah subhana t'a tests us

[46:26]is through our wealth some people it's very difficult for them to

[46:29]give it's very difficult for them to spend from their wealth and

[46:35]this is if we want to show our appreciation to Allah subhana

[46:41]wa taala we give we want to show our appreciation to people

[46:44]in our lives we give now sometimes you could give money the

[46:51]day ofid is coming up keep that in mind and sometimes you

[46:54]give from your time maybe I love someone I care for someone

[46:57]I'm going to spend my time with this person this is also

[47:02]something very important we give from our skills from our effort from

[47:05]whatever we have we have to try to show our appreciation and

[47:11]when you do that through your words through your mind and through

[47:16]your actions then you will see the blessings that will come down

[47:21]upon your life when you give towards a relationship that relationship will

[47:25]give you back you will benefit from it when you give towards

[47:27]your career that career it will give you back you will benefit

[47:29]from it when you give towards your school your school you gave

[47:34]that time you invested now it's going to give it back to

[47:36]you and you're going to benefit from it and when you give

[47:40]to Allah subhana wa ta'ala Allah subhana tala is the most generous

[47:45]Allah subhana tala is the one who gives and IM he says

[47:52]the one who gives thanks this person is also given meaning Allah

[47:58]will give more because he says Allah says so we benefit from

[48:09]that which Allah subhah wa ta'ala gives us and the greatest benefit

[48:13]is the benefit that's in the not just in this life Allah

[48:18]will give the one who gives you will see the reward in

[48:21]this Dunya and in the and in the that is the greatest

[48:27]reward one day he slaughtered a sheep and he began to give

[48:31]away parts of the meat pieces of the meat the only thing

[48:36]that was left was what the shoulder the shoulder was the only

[48:41]thing that was left so then the wife of the prophets one

[48:45]of them she tells the the whole sheep the only thing that's

[48:49]left is the shoulder alai tells her the only thing that is

[48:56]gone is the shoulder and everything else we have benefited from everything

[49:00]else we will benefit from we will see it in the when

[49:08]you give maybe some people in our lives we give them and

[49:11]that's it they don't even remember it's gone but when you give

[49:16]for Allah subhana wa ta'ala Allah remembers Allah sees and everything is

[49:20]written down and even if you help out someone who's ungrateful in

[49:23]your life you help that person out for the sake of Allah

[49:26]the know that God will reward you even if this person does

[49:31]not acknowledge what you have done so when you give Allah will

[49:34]reimburse you many times more in fact it's the best way to

[49:42]do business you get the most the most uh return when you

[49:45]do business with Allah subhah wa ta'ala do business with God try

[49:50]it out and you will see the Allah subana tala will bless

[49:53]you in this life and in the another benefit of giving and

[49:59]showing gratitude is that a person who gives is loved by God

[50:06]a person who shows gratitude is loved by God and also loved

[50:09]by everyone else everyone loves the one who shows gratefulness everyone loves

[50:14]the one who's Pleasant everyone loves the one who shows thankfulness by

[50:21]giving by being there by serving community service have you seen someone

[50:24]that doesn't like someone who does community service everyone loves this person

[50:27]because when you give this is how you attract the hearts of

[50:35]people towards you generosity being the of he says the one who's

[50:44]generous is close to God close to people as well and very

[50:50]far from the Hellfire the stingy person this person is far from

[51:00]God far from people and close to the Hellfire because one of

[51:12]the ways of showing thanks to Allah subhana tala is by giving

[51:15]that which Allah has given us this is one of the benefits

[51:21]that we would be loved by Allah subhana wa tala and by

[51:23]people in your life and a third benefit is that that when

[51:29]we show gratefulness we start to understand what's important in life what

[51:34]weighs more in life what should I invest in what should I

[51:39]value in my life when I am willing to give something that

[51:45]is materialistic giving wealth giving money giving all these things that means

[51:50]I value things more than the money and the wealth I value

[51:56]the essence of things for example I value friendship that's why I'm

[51:59]willing to give for that friendship I value a mjid that's why

[52:04]I'm willing to give for a Masjid I value caring for Orphans

[52:07]that's why I'm willing to sponsor and take care of the orphans

[52:10]so it shows that a person that gives this person is not

[52:16]just material stuck on M materialistic mindsets because these type of things

[52:21]don't bring that much happiness but there's other things that have much

[52:25]more meaning and value to a person person's life and this is

[52:29]how we have to operate value someone who's a m when you

[52:33]see someone who's a m you value this person you value the

[52:38]Quran you value the Salah you value the Masjid all these things

[52:41]this shows you that you're on a different mindset IM it is

[52:47]said that one day he was in Mina Mina between the Hajj

[52:54]he's waiting in Mina so he had a tent in Mina and

[52:56]he's eating he has a plate of grapes and he's eating from

[53:02]these grapes and a beggar comes and he says give me so

[53:09]the Imam he tells him here's here's he gave he offered him

[53:11]the whole plate the whole plate of grapes he offered it to

[53:16]him the man he said no I don't want that the man

[53:17]wanted money wanted something else the Imam he tells him may Allah

[53:22]give you and the man left then the companions they said we

[53:29]saw another man come and he also began to beg so the

[53:33]Imam this time instead of offering the whole plate he offered one

[53:39]one um what is it called some some of the some of

[53:46]the grapes he he came and he he offered him and the

[53:48]man took it and he ate and he said alhamdulillah so then

[53:53]the Imam gave him more tells him here go ahead more he

[53:56]said he ate more and he said alhamdulillah then the Imam he

[54:03]said go and bring him money there were people there he said

[54:06]go and bring him money they bring him money he says alhamdulillah

[54:09]then the Imam he says go and bring him some clothes they

[54:14]gave him clothes he kept saying alhamdulillah and then the Imam said

[54:18]go and give him something else until the man took and left

[54:20]so then the companions they told the Imam yeah Imam the first

[54:26]man he wanted money you didn't give him you only offered him

[54:29]the plate and then you told him go the next person you

[54:35]kept giving him and giving him and giving him he said I

[54:38]gave him because this man appreciates God he said I gave him

[54:43]because this man says alhamdulillah and the fact that he said alhamdulillah

[54:47]this shows this man has gratitude and if he would have kept

[54:50]saying alhamdulillah I would have given him the whole tent and everything

[54:54]that's in it and this shows Imam sad was teaching his companions

[54:59]the the importance of being grateful and the importance of showing gratitude

[55:04]and it's important for us to appreciate people who are grateful to

[55:08]Allah subhana wa tala when someone is grateful this person should have

[55:14]a higher St position in your heart and in your mind because

[55:17]this person shows gratitude to Allah subhah wa ta'ala my dear brothers

[55:21]and sisters the month of Ramadan has come to an end tomorrow

[55:26]is the last day of the holy month month of Ramadan and

[55:27]it would not be fair if we don't show gratitude and thankfulness

[55:33]to all of you for attending for all of those who have

[55:37]sponsored the programs I know every family probably or most of the

[55:42]families contributed towards making this program a successful program sponsoring some of

[55:47]the nights we have to show gratitude to you all for making

[55:51]this happen and keeping the lights on and keeping the center running

[55:57]so this is all thanks to you and we show thanks to

[56:00]the individuals who really helped maintain and take care of this place

[56:07]and one of which is Haj Hassan brother Hassan Bon who was

[56:11]the first to every day open the door every day he's the

[56:14]first who opens the door and makes sure that the coffee and

[56:19]everything is set up and to everyone else those who recited the

[56:22]Dua those who mced those who attended um I know some of

[56:29]you probably attended every night who attended every night hajam Hassan Ahmed

[56:34]haal mashallah T mashallah so you guys you you took the effort

[56:43]and you made this you prioritized coming here every night and this

[56:48]is something that Allah subhana tala appreciates from you because Allah on

[56:52]the day of judgment you could say that on the nights of

[56:57]Ramadan I I prioritize ized coming to the Masjid and attending the

[56:59]lectures and being a part of the program and making it a

[57:01]successful program and we have to acknowledge and appreciate the people in

[57:08]our lives that have made us do what we can do so

[57:12]this is the last night the last Eve of the month of

[57:17]Ramadan inallah tomorrow night we will have a program we will recite

[57:20]the duas of uh the eve of the eve of the First

[57:26]of shaal and we will inshallah get this place ready for on

[57:29]Wednesday morning so we ask Allah subhana wa tala to bless us

[57:38]to accept from you all to help us be strengthened by the

[57:43]month of Ramadan so that we can benefit from this holy month

[57:47]let us raise our hands in Dua r inshallah we will have

[58:40]on Wednesday in not tomorrow Wednesday tomorrow you still have to fast

[58:46]Wednesday inshallah we will have one prayer at 8 a.m.

[58:51]and another prayer at 9:30 if you're planning on coming I recommend

[58:55]you carpool because it's going to be business hours so try to

[59:01]come with one car and inshallah it will be a blessed Eid

[59:04]for all of us I'm going to talk about it specifically tomorrow

[59:10]but Zak is $15 per person so the head of the household

[59:16]the one who's the the one who's covering the expenses of the

[59:20]house this person it's his or her responsibility to take care of

[59:26]the Zak that means for each person so for example if you

[59:30]are you and your wife and you have two kids then that

[59:36]is $60 $60 15 15 per person it's must to pay if

[59:41]a lady is pregnant it's mustahab to pay and the children it's

[59:44]also waj to pay for the children you could give it you

[59:46]could send it um abroad you could give it to people poor

[59:51]people or we could there we could put a box here and

[59:55]we will distribute it to to those who we see are in

[59:59]need but if you know someone if you know I mentioned this

[60:02]in Friday prayer says meaning don't go and give to strangers when

[60:13]you have family that are in need if you have people in

[60:17]need in your family go and give them and you don't need

[60:18]to tell them this is Zak this is s or whatever it

[60:23]is you could just give it to them so this is this

[60:26]is uh what religion teaches us and what the month of Ramadan

[60:28]one of the main lessons of the month of Ramadan is that

[60:33]we have to give back to people on the day of
