[0:00]Allah uh I'll show the one more harm more foreign foreign [Music]

[1:44]foreign [Applause] Rahim alhamdulillah alhamdulillah risk follicles foreign Muhammad was Allah foreign

[3:40]foreign next week insha Allah we will begin the holy month of

[4:17]Ramadan the month of Allah the month of Mercy the month of

[4:22]closeness to Allah whenever we hear about the holy month of Ramadan

[4:30]we find that there are different emotions some people have one group

[4:36]of people when they hear of the month of Ramadan they say

[4:40]we have to fast we have to be hungry we have to

[4:44]be tired we have to be exhausted and they're dreading it another

[4:48]group of people when they hear of the month of Ramadan they're

[4:53]excited for the social aspect of the month of Ramadan and the

[5:02]family gatherings and the get-togethers that people have during the month of

[5:09]Ramadan they're unique this is something that is exciting a third category

[5:16]is the one that is anticipating the month of Ramadan and waiting

[5:22]day by day hour by hour because it's an opportunity to get

[5:28]closer to Allah because it's an opportunity to strengthen our relationship with

[5:39]Allah it is the month of God's mercy and this is why

[5:43]the mini and the Believers are anticipating and waiting for the holy

[5:49]month of Ramadan foreign the reason why Shah Ramadan is called Ramadan

[6:07]because it destroys and it removes and it cleanses the sins from

[6:15]an individual it's the month of purification it's the month of cleansing

[6:19]the month to detox the soul from the sins and the habits

[6:27]and the lifestyles and the ways that bring us away from Allah

[6:35]the heavens the gates of heavens they open during the holy month

[6:43]of Ramadan and the gates of paradise they're open the gates of

[6:58]God's mercy are open on the first Eve of the month of

[7:04]Ramadan and they do not close until the last night it means

[7:07]that you have an opportunity you have a chance to get closer

[7:12]to Allah you have a chance and an opportunity to amend and

[7:18]fix your relationship with God many of us we go through problems

[7:22]in our lives many of us we go through times in our

[7:27]lives where our relationship with Allah is not as healthy as it

[7:32]should be Allah does not hold grudges maybe if I have an

[7:36]unhealthy relationship with a family member maybe if I have an unhealthy

[7:39]relationship with a friend maybe this person is going to remind me

[7:43]of this problem for the rest of our lives they're going to

[7:47]keep remembering remember what you did remember what you did remember what

[7:50]you did do not give up hope in the mercy of Allah

[8:15]Allah forgives all of the sins he says when the month of

[8:37]Ramadan Begins the gates of the Hellfire will be closed and the

[8:41]shayateen will be tied down meaning it will be much more difficult

[8:47]for iblees to come and fool someone it will be much more

[8:52]difficult for shaytan to come and bring you away from Allah in

[8:58]the last Friday of the month of Shaban in one of the

[9:06]years delivered a very beautiful sermon and this sermon this is narrated

[9:11]through the imams of the Elizabeth unfortunately you see many of the

[9:14]sermons of rasulullah have been erased from history today how many sermons

[9:21]have been recorded in history of the Muslims they are mentioned and

[9:24]they mention a few of the sermons of rasulullah why because there

[9:31]was an agenda to erase the Sunnah of rasulullah and this is

[9:35]a different subject this is one of the one day and what

[10:02]it seems is that it was the last Friday of the month

[10:07]of Shaban just like a day like today the last Friday of

[10:10]the month of Shabbat because next Friday we will be in the

[10:15]holy month of Ramadan insha Allah inshallah we make it to the

[10:18]month of Ramadan there's a lot of people that last year they

[10:23]were with us this year who knows if we will make it

[10:25]to the month of Ramadan so we have to ask Allah to

[10:29]make us be from the homin to make us be from those

[10:34]who receive the Rama of Allah o people the month of Allah

[10:51]has come to you Allah it has come to you with blessings

[10:56]and mercy and forgiveness a month it is the greatest of the

[11:13]months its days are the best of days it's nights are the

[11:29]best of nights and its hours are the best of hours it

[11:39]is a month that you have all been invited to be the

[11:44]guests of God the guest of honor when you have a friend

[11:50]when you have someone who's generous someone who's merciful someone who's kind

[11:54]when they invite you they're going to take good care of you

[11:57]they go and they bring out their best food the best dish

[12:02]they host you they make sure that they do the best during

[12:04]the month of Ramadan we are the guests and Allah is the

[12:10]hosts and it's the month that God wants to honor you he

[12:22]wants to give you a Karana he wants to honor you and

[12:26]bless you so how does Allah bless us during the month of

[12:29]Ramadan just by breathing during the month of Ramadan just by breathing

[12:40]Allah will reward you it's like you're saying subhanallah alhamdulillah just by

[12:46]breathing this is why during the month of Ramadan even if you're

[12:52]not doing anything Allah reward you as long as you're not using

[12:56]your mouth to say something Haram as long as you're not backbiting

[12:59]as long as you're not doing anything wrong Allah will reward you

[13:05]and faster is so generous that even when you're sleeping even when

[13:17]you're in your Slumber you're sleeping Allah will consider it a form

[13:21]of ibada for you a form of worship as long as you're

[13:26]not doing anything Haram and usually sometimes for some people when they're

[13:29]sleeping it's better than when they're awake because when they're awake they're

[13:33]they become toxic when they're awake they start talking about this person

[13:36]abusing hurting this person it's best for you to sleep then so

[13:41]he says Allah will accept your Deeds Allah will accept your actions

[13:59]during the month of Ramadan Allah will accept your Dua and answer

[14:04]your Dua Allah he says so ask Allah with a pure heart

[14:20]with a sincere heart that Allah gives you the tawfiq to fast

[14:27]enter the Quran during the month of Ramadan if you want God

[14:32]to bless you how does God bless you God blesses you if

[14:38]you were able to fast and God blesses you if you were

[14:39]able to recite the Quran now of course some people due to

[14:44]health reasons fasting is not legible upon them and this person Allah

[14:48]will reward this person because they're physically unable because Allah says in

[14:54]the Quran if you're traveling or if you're if you're sick then

[15:04]fasting is not legible upon you but ask Allah for the topic

[15:07]to give you the health so that you could fast this is

[15:10]a blessing because the Hadith says two blessings that people forget they

[15:16]don't appreciate God for one of them is the health the fact

[15:20]that you're able to fast you should thank Allah for that because

[15:23]some people they're unable to fast just the fact that Allah has

[15:29]given you the health that you're able to fast thank Allah for

[15:32]and the other safety having safety this is also a namma that

[15:35]we don't think Allah for so he says ask Allah and you

[15:47]need to figure to recite the Quran a lot of people the

[15:51]month of Ramadan comes and goes and the Quran stay is still

[15:54]on the bookshelf we don't touch it we put it on our

[15:59]head this is the only time we associate with the Quran and

[16:02]this is a problem we have to recite the Quran you have

[16:09]to ask Allah for the tofi if you can't recite an Arabic

[16:12]recite in another language recite in your own language because the Quran

[16:16]is the message the words of God if you can't read listen

[16:21]if you can't listen if you can't read sit with a group

[16:28]of people that are reading do a Quran Circle do a Quran

[16:31]as long as you show the efforts that you want to listen

[16:36]to the words of God and then he says it's the month

[16:45]of freebies the month of blessings God is giving out so much

[16:48]freebies he says only the losers the one who does not receive

[16:53]the mercy of God on this month moves on to talk about

[17:05]some of the philosophy of fasting why do we fast he says

[17:15]he says when you're hungry and when you're thirsty remember the hunger

[17:23]and The Thirst of Yom multiyama of the day of judgment a

[17:29]day that lasts longer than 50 000 years imagine you're standing waiting

[17:38]to be judged by Allah that is a frightening day a very

[17:41]frightening dayama it's a day of hunger it's a day of thirst

[17:48]remember that hunger and thirst of the day of judgment and Allah

[17:54]says another philosophy of fasting is so that you think of the

[18:03]hunger of the poor people the hunger of those who don't have

[18:07]we have alhamdulillah Allah has given us there are some people days

[18:15]and weeks and months pass and they don't eat meat and a

[18:18]lot of us we throw meat we throw food away every day

[18:21]there are some people the month of Ramadan if they don't have

[18:24]three types of dishes or more in front of them then they

[18:29]feel like they're they were they were not treated well we treat

[18:33]ourselves really well let us also think of those who don't have

[18:39]water Allah another very important during the month of Ramadan we have

[18:53]to think of other people respect the elderly have mercy on the

[19:01]younger ones and be connected with your family and control your tongue

[19:07]during the month of Ramadan and make sure that your eyes do

[19:18]not look at the Haram during the month of Ramadan Ramadan is

[19:22]not only not eating during the day Ramadan is controlling your eyes

[19:27]and your ears and your tongue and your stomach is also one

[19:32]of them this is what it means to be fasting during the

[19:36]holy month of Ramadan and then he says and don't listen to

[19:44]that which is Haram don't listen it's easy you have to make

[19:50]sure that whatever is Haram that's it you turn off the radio

[19:53]turn off the music don't listen to anything that is and have

[20:03]mercy on the Orphans of others because who knows maybe one day

[20:09]I will have orphans maybe one day we will have orphans that

[20:12]we will need others to take care of him in the new

[20:18]become and ask Allah to forgive you from your sins because the

[20:32]timing of Dua it plays a very important role in if the

[20:38]Dua is accepted or not just like the Knight of Dua there

[20:43]are places where Allah likes to be asked like next to the

[20:45]grave of rasulullah like Mecca like next to the grave of Imam

[20:52]and Hussain there's also times he says between your prayers as soon

[21:00]as you say Allahu Akbar some of us right away we get

[21:02]up and we leave during that moment that's the moment to ask

[21:06]Allah whatever you want because you just did an obligation you just

[21:10]fulfilled the duty God told you to pray you prayed now Allah

[21:14]says okay ask me what I what you want and I will

[21:18]give you and then he says that is the best hour that's

[21:37]the time that Allah will answer you that's the time that Allah

[21:41]will give you Allah reminds us of a reality that we all

[21:51]have no there's no exception we all have sins is there someone

[22:03]that could come and say I don't have sins every single one

[22:07]of us has sins but Allah tells us there's a solution what's

[22:11]the solution to turn to Allah and your backs are heavy from

[22:31]the heaviness and the weight of sins and actions how do you

[22:34]drop that heavy load off of your back by doing sujood when

[22:39]you do sujood the sins will fall off your back these are

[22:44]the words of rasulullah Allah and Allah Allah has done an oath

[23:00]a customer by torture those who pray was sajidin and those who

[23:08]prostrate to Allah and he will not frighten them with the Hellfire

[23:20]the day everyone will be frightened by the Hellfire my dear brothers

[23:27]and sisters the month of Ramadan is the opportunity he says o

[23:46]people the one who breaks the fast of someone who's fasting during

[23:53]the month of Ramadan Allah will give this person the reward of

[23:58]freeing a slave in the way of Allah imagine if you free

[24:01]a slave in the way of God and Allah will forgive you

[24:08]for your sins so the Muslims we can't all afford to break

[24:18]the fast of other people and Allah says he says protect yourself

[24:28]from the Hellfire even if it's a piece of date protect yourself

[24:32]from the Hellfire even if it's a cup of water Allah does

[24:36]not look at the quantity my dear brothers and sisters they gave

[24:42]bread pieces of breath and Allah mentions it in the Quran it

[24:49]wasn't a stake it wasn't a huge meal that you pay a

[24:54]hundred dollars for no no it was a piece of bread but

[24:59]it was about the quality it's about the intentions if your intentions

[25:02]are pure if you really want Allah to forgive you and if

[25:07]you want to get closer to Allah then you have the opportunity

[25:10]to get closer to Allah even if your finances do not help

[25:12]even a piece of date or a cup of water a very

[25:20]important Rule and that is a lot of people when they're fasting

[25:26]during the month of Ramadan Their Manners and their changes they start

[25:32]they start looking down at other people or they start getting angry

[25:36]they start getting frustrated really quickly so he says good during the

[25:54]month of Ramadan you will receive a passport to pass over the

[25:57]Sarat that rasulullah says it is as narrow as a string and

[26:03]people fall off the Surat into the Hellfire you will have the

[26:06]permission to walk you will have the permission to go through it

[26:11]through your clock and do this and do that no just good

[26:15]manners with people this is what it takes to be a good

[26:18]Muslim if you want to get to heaven have good manners with

[26:23]other people Allah if at that time they were slaves and this

[26:34]also applies if you have people working under you be easy going

[26:38]with those people they're fasting as well they're human as well be

[26:44]easy going with them Allah will make your easy going woman some

[26:52]people they're they're always giving Char and evil to others stop that

[26:56]during the month of Ramadan stop don't bother people don't backbites don't

[27:02]talk about other people don't look for the faults in other people

[27:06]everyone has faults but don't be someone who's constantly searching for The

[27:11]Faults of other people try to talk about positive things leave any

[27:16]negative energy leave any negative talk during the month of Ramadan woman

[27:30]if you honor a team Allah will honor you woman it's the

[27:46]months to be connected with your family call your family calling is

[27:50]not expensive no you have everyone has WhatsApp everyone has access to

[27:55]call call your relatives check up on them give them food this

[28:00]is the month of connection this is the month of building a

[28:05]bond and if you are merciful towards others then Allah will give

[28:09]you from his Mercy you do an extra Salah Allah will protect

[28:19]you from the Hellfire and then rasulullah gives the reward we will

[28:29]end the first and begin the second Allah foreign foreign foreign is

[30:54]very beautiful because it summarizes the merits of the holy month of

[31:02]Ramadan and they also tells us what we need to do as

[31:04]Believers during the holy month of Ramadan the month of Ramadan is

[31:11]the month of seeking nearness to Allah it's the month to get

[31:16]closer to Allah Ramadan if the one who who does not receive

[31:27]the mercy of God during the month of Ramadan then this person

[31:29]the next time is if they attend an Arafat because the month

[31:32]of Ramadan the month of Ramadan has the greatest night of the

[31:40]year and it's the month where the doors and the gates of

[31:45]paradise are open and are tied down o people the gates of

[32:01]paradise are open during this month this means that anyone could enter

[32:06]first and ask your Lord that he shall not close it in

[32:14]your face and ask your Lord that he shall not open the

[32:25]gates of the hull fire upon you and then he says are

[32:32]tied down so ask your lord ask your Lord that he does

[32:41]not unleash them on you because some people the month of Ramadan

[32:44]comes and you see they're doing things that are also Haram you

[32:46]need the Sofia need to ask Allah for the hidayah ask Allah

[32:52]for the rahma so then he's the one who is narrating this

[32:59]he says he wants to get to the point he says what's

[33:08]the best deed what's the best action during this holy month he

[33:14]tells him during this month is to refrain from sinning a lot

[33:29]of us we focus on the extra credit reading Quran doing this

[33:32]attending this doing this if you can't stop yourself from sinning that's

[33:39]what you have to do if you put all of them the

[33:43]good deeds in one hand and stop from sinning stopping from stopping

[33:47]the sin is more important stop the sin that's it because the

[33:53]whole purpose of the months of Ramadan is to get closer to

[33:58]Allah Allah wants you to be God conscious if I'm doing all

[34:09]the Muslim but my lifestyle doesn't change I do all of the

[34:12]recommended things but I'm still sinning the habits the bad sins all

[34:17]of that then what's the point then that means My fasting and

[34:20]My Worship has not achieved its goal I'm just doing the fasting

[34:24]because everyone else is fasting I'm just doing the worship because everyone

[34:27]else it becomes a routine you want to break the routine you

[34:33]don't want your Salat to become routine you want every Salah to

[34:36]have an impact on your life you don't want the fasting to

[34:41]become a routine I'm just fasting fast in your life and this

[34:49]is why the most rewarding thing that you could do is don't

[34:53]sin if you don't sin Allah will reward you and then began

[35:08]to cry he says why are you crying and then he says

[35:21]I cry because the greatest sin will be committed and you will

[35:27]be the victim during the month of Ramadan and that is when

[35:33]Eben muljim struck foreign and this is an example of someone that

[35:44]has no water is that feeling that stops you from sinning stops

[35:52]you from disobeying Allah was killed during the month of Ramadan and

[35:57]then he says he says he says the worst of the end

[36:22]of times because this is according to the Hadith of rasulullah he

[36:35]says he will strike you on your head and your beard will

[36:41]be quenched you will be filled with your blood so then foreign

[37:33]my dear brothers and sisters the month of Ramadan is approaching and

[37:41]inshallah we will be from those who receive the mercy of Allah
