[4:42]the holy month of Ramadan and these days the days of the

[4:45]holy month of Ramadan we wish to increase in the great provision

[4:50]of having taqwa and the holy prophet would remind us about taqwa

[4:54]and he was approached by a man by the name of her

[5:01]mom companion and he wished to ask Hassan I wish to gain

[5:13]taqwa I wish to have taqwa in my life I wish the

[5:17]people of the snow what can I do what should I do

[5:28]provide for me why is Imam at first responds with this in

[5:36]Allah he provides to him that's a verse from the Quran that

[5:43]if you have takwa if you are Allah is verily with those

[5:50]who have takwa it's rarely with those who perform Good Deeds her

[5:55]mom he wants more her mom he asks provide me war what

[6:02]more can I have what more can I do in my life

[6:07]to game taqwa this sermon is I recommend every single member of

[6:17]our community every single member in this world who wishes to truly

[6:21]gain taqwa to learn from the teachings of to learn from the

[6:29]sermon in response to her mom he says the people of taqwa

[6:37]whom they have great Noble characteristics they have great Noble signs and

[6:46]then he starts to list the people of taqwa their characteristics and

[6:55]signs the first one that he mentions he says the first sign

[6:59]of a person of taqwa home that when they speak they are

[7:13]well precise well clear precision shop that when they speak they speak

[7:21]to the point Direct sometimes people speak and they go on for

[7:29]hours and hours and hours and you still don't know what they

[7:31]want to say you still don't know what the topic is about

[7:36]you still don't know what's their aim in what they're seeing states

[7:42]that the person of taqwa is when they speak they speak concise

[7:51]Direct good words that are what sharp precise and to the point

[8:00]he reminds us about not all kanam about speaking person who wishes

[8:12]to be of needs to know the importance of when to speak

[8:16]how to speak where to speak what to say for this tongue

[8:25]that we all have is a bounty is a gift that Allah

[8:33]has blessed and bestowed upon all of us interestingly I was reading

[8:36]a quote the other day animals most of them have very long

[8:42]or large tongues but they don't have the ability to speak and

[8:47]the languages that we have they don't have the ability to communicate

[8:51]in the same way that human beings have mankind human beings have

[8:59]a short tongue or a smaller tongue or in the terms of

[9:03]weight or mass a smaller tongue but the amount of speech and

[9:08]the amount of talking and the amount of excessive talking is way

[9:12]more sometimes we need to know that sharp concise to the point

[9:20]speeches of course of value hence the Hadith says that speeches like

[9:30]medicine foreign short speech concise speech speaking to the point is beneficial

[9:43]is needed is necessary we need to speak to with one another

[9:49]we need to communicate with one another can you imagine life without

[9:52]speaking with one another extremely difficult however excessive speaking is what artist

[10:01]is dangerous in fact one should be careful that's why sometimes people

[10:09]they have the wrong understanding about people who stay silent and speak

[10:15]when it's necessary they say oh why is that person so quiet

[10:19]they don't speak too much in our gatherings in a jealous in

[10:25]the times that we're speaking he speaks very little in fact they

[10:30]used to do this even during the time of the Holy messenger

[10:33]foreign and the holy prophet said if you see an AB quiet

[10:49]and Silent knows when to speak how to speak concise get closer

[10:58]to him foreign for he is a wise person he knows when

[11:08]it's appropriate to speak Alison this tongue that we all have the

[11:16]narration State a listen song the tongue is the scale of measurement

[11:26]of a human being the value of an individual is in what

[11:32]they say and speak as in how they communicate with one another

[11:38]fact the tongue and the Heart the listen and the pulp that

[11:46]we all have is something that needs to always be fine-tuned reformed

[11:54]ensure that we use it in the right and appropriate Manner and

[12:01]way the palm not necessarily the cardiac muscle here but and the

[12:08]center of awareness the center of conscience the center of understanding and

[12:16]Allah has mentioned in numerous times in the Holy Quran when it

[12:22]takes care of the organs and the limbs number one when it

[12:28]takes care of my lesson when it controls my tongue to speak

[12:39]well appropriately in good ways it is the best gift that we

[12:42]have used in the best of ways that's why we find there

[12:51]are many recommended Deeds with using the tongue in the best of

[12:58]ways and these nights and days are the nights and days to

[13:01]use the tongue in the best of ways remember Allah stays in

[13:07]the Holy Quran regards to the tongue and States born Heat that

[13:18]this tongue whatever you say and this whole body of ours whatever

[13:25]we do there is the two angels there are the two angels

[13:29]that record and write and are aware of my actions be aware

[13:37]of it before I say anything does it please the angel or

[13:41]does it make the angel who is recording my sins to write

[13:48]excessively about the sins of what I have been saying hence you

[13:53]find that we are reminded that that's one of the great Deeds

[14:01]to perform with our tongue is to constantly perform thicker of Allah

[14:05]to constantly remember Allah subhanahu Allah Allah foreign the morning I wake

[14:24]up I perform thicker and remember Allah as I'm going to work

[14:30]I remember Allah and this tongue which remembers Allah is a result

[14:39]of the heart that remembers Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and this body

[14:44]which would be aware of Allah that the more I'm aware of

[14:55]Allah the more I wish to please Allah the more I wish

[14:59]to gain nearness to Allah and this body wishes to be careful

[15:10]about this pleasing Allah the more we have that awareness that sins

[15:15]are harmful for me because of my constant remembrance of Allah so

[15:22]we are reminded with this listen constantly perform thicker of Allah Prophet

[15:28]Musa asked Allah what is the reward of the one who performs

[15:33]the Dicker of Allah constantly foreign of Allah under the protection and

[15:53]care of Allah and is going to be on the day of

[15:56]judgment under the Arash of Allah of protection the little of Allah

[16:06]can of Allah that they care and protection of Allah why because

[16:12]in this world I constantly remembered and thought of Allah with my

[16:19]tongue and with my heart thicker of Allah what else am I

[16:26]recommended to do with this tongue of mine is to constantly with

[16:32]this listen recite the book of Allah the words of Allah the

[16:39]Kalam of Allah the book of Allah the Holy Quran remind us

[16:48]that one who performs the recitation constantly the Hadith says read and

[16:56]you'll be raised in your makam and your status in Jannah or

[17:02]the Hadith says whoever recites the Quran in their own home then

[17:07]it will be a source of Noor in their home whoever wishes

[17:13]a happiness and joy in their home in their family in their

[17:17]household then constantly recite the teachings of the Holy Quran whether it's

[17:29]the father whether it's the mother whether it's the sons the daughters

[17:33]they should have a constant regular recitation through the recitation of the

[17:43]Holy Quran within our own homes whether it's after salatul the father

[17:48]recites Quran and the words of the Quran Echo within the rooms

[17:55]and bedrooms I know of families who have installed sounds speaker systems

[18:05]within the homes and the father for example recites some verses of

[18:11]the Quran for all the bedrooms all the family members to be

[18:16]aware and he recites that Adam and they come together and recite

[18:21]together the recitation of the Salah together with the echoing of the

[18:26]verses of the Holy Quran how beautiful how honorable and what that

[18:32]means that we can use the advanced technology today on your phone

[18:38]play a few verses of the Holy Quran when you're in the

[18:44]car on your way to the journey towards work let the Quran

[18:47]recite and you recite with it let the tongue oscillate with the

[18:55]constant recitation of the Quran why is this some of us or

[18:59]some of our members when it comes to other words other lyrics

[19:06]other poems they've memorized it inside out back to front but when

[19:10]it comes to the recitation and the tilawa of the beautiful verses

[19:14]of the Huda of guidance we struggle and this is what we

[19:23]need to encourage one another the Knights of the holy month of

[19:26]Ramadan the days of the holy holy month of Ramadan are the

[19:34]days to gain that recitation in those words to constantly Enlighten our

[19:39]hearts and Enlighten our home number two reciting using our tongue the

[19:45]Holy Quran number three to constantly use our tongue our heart to

[19:49]constantly recite Dua Allah the holy prophets would remind us about Dua

[20:07]that constantly recite Dua Dua call upon your lord with your heart

[20:18]in recognition of Allah and your tongue reciting pleading pleading calling upon

[20:28]your lord for that supplication the duas that has taught us that

[20:37]Imam Zen has told to us foreign that's my tongue wants to

[20:50]constantly perform your recitation and thicker of Allah number three constantly accustom

[20:56]my tongue to recite Dua with my tongue number four allow myself

[21:05]to have that habit of constantly reciting Muhammad there is nothing more

[21:23]valuable heavier a servant a Believer on the day of judgment then

[21:31]what what's going to be a heavy token for me than this

[21:42]one who recites constantly recites salawat throughout your day throughout your nights

[21:49]the verse of the Quran says one of their Hadith States and

[22:10]the imams of the Alberta remind us about salawah states that one

[22:15]who recites salawat is become a mandatory that his sins have been

[22:22]forgiven his tawab has been increased his deeds and hasanat has been

[22:27]in Greece his sins have been reduced and his status has been

[22:34]raised in Jannah for the blessing of remembering and sending salutations upon

[22:39]the holy prophet and the progeny that's with my tongue to constantly

[22:44]recite salawat that is a beautiful deed what else should I do

[22:52]to constantly recite as a Dicker of Allah whether it's after my

[22:56]Salah whether it's after my Fajr my prayers to recite the thickerb

[23:07]that has been taught to us that a speech of which is

[23:14]a blessing in itself is not only for after Salah whenever you

[23:21]recite the Dicker one of the best form of Decker is to

[23:24]recite this Zara this was something that the Muslim would teach one

[23:31]another that what always recites 34 times 34 times 33 times alhamdulillah

[23:45]and 33 times subhanallah that was taught by our holy prophet too

[23:53]his beloved daughter as a material to all that you wish to

[24:03]ask for and as a spiritual you want some spiritual strength result

[24:11]you want to ask Allah for your needs start with remembering start

[24:19]with this initial dual and blessing that was taught to say that

[24:26]my the holy prophet who said that this is a source of

[24:28]Dua this is a source of blessing this is the best form

[24:36]of this that is highly recommended again with a recitation of our

[24:40]tongue with correctly pronouncing the words alhamdulillah subhanallah and also with this

[24:50]tongue the ayat in the Quran and the Hadith of course remind

[24:55]us with this song say nice words noble words good words Olan

[25:03]what kind of words I should say soft words truthful words that

[25:14]I accustomed my tongue to say the words that will truly bring

[25:20]someone closer to Allah closer to the remembrance of Allah that this

[25:27]tongue and heart which is the best form of communication is always

[25:33]accustomed to say the words that bring me and bring us all

[25:42]closer to Allah for the holy prophet and the imams of the

[25:45]al-bait would State a true Muslim who is a true muslimanas a

[25:58]true man A True Believer is one that everyone else is safe

[26:06]from his tongue and his heart so inshallah we ask Allah to
