[0:27]allahar allar allahar muham muham Muhammad Sal allahar alayum I seek refuge

[3:10]in Allah the all hearing the all knowing from the accursed Sha

[3:14]uh Shan in the name of Allah the most merciful the most

[3:17]compassionate all praise is due to Allah the first before creation and

[3:25]life and the last after the annihilation of all things he is

[3:29]the all knowing who does not forget those who remember him he

[3:33]does not diminish those the reward of those who thank him and

[3:39]does not disappoint those who call upon him and does not sever

[3:42]the hope of those who place their trust in him I bear

[3:48]witness that there is no God but God alone without a partner

[3:50]and I bear witness that Muhammad s is a servant and messenger

[3:55]he sent him down with guidance and the religion of Truth to

[4:01]make it Prevail over all religions oh Allah send your blessings upon

[4:05]Muhammad and the family of Muhammad and bless Muhammad and the family

[4:10]of Muhammad and have mercy on the on Muhammad and the family

[4:14]of Muhammad in the best way that you have sent blessings bestowed

[4:17]blessings and showed mercy upon ibraim and the family of ibraim indeed

[4:23]you are praiseworthy glorious and you do what you will during this

[4:33]holy month we are endowed with an opportunity that we don't have

[4:43]in any other month and I've spoken about the importance of supplications

[4:48]before the concept of supplications why we supplicate why we why it's

[4:54]important to speak to God why it's important to build that relationship

[4:57]with Allah subhah wa ta'ala because in reality even though we're living

[5:03]together as human beings now we share this Earth with many different

[5:09]creatures humans animals trees when we die we're going to be left

[5:18]alone even a person's own family will not be with them after

[5:25]death immediately after that the journey in reality is a journey of

[5:28]yourself it's true that you're connected to your parents and your family

[5:32]and your friends over here but when your soul departs your body

[5:36]you're going to be alone your family is not going to accompany

[5:39]you so if you sit down and you contemplate this you see

[5:46]to yourself that I exist over here and the only being that

[5:53]is going to be with me is Allah subhana wa tala God

[5:56]will never separate from you whether it's in this world even though

[6:02]we cannot or sister or mother or father at a certain time

[6:15]but then you leave them you're with them at home but you

[6:19]go out they don't go with you but Allah subhana T never

[6:25]leaves you he's always with you wherever you are and after death

[6:29]you're going to AC experience this where you're going to be alone

[6:32]you're not going to be with anyone else but you're going to

[6:36]be only with Allah subhana wa ta'ala so what's important for us

[6:41]is to prepare ourselves for that moment and praying is one of

[6:47]those beautiful times where we can begin to prepare ourselves for that

[6:51]when you stand on your prayer mat Allah subhana T has ordained

[6:55]certain rulings for us so that we train ourselves to build that

[7:00]connection with him you're not allowed to speak to anybody you're not

[7:07]allowed to turn your face around your whole attention should be on

[7:10]Allah subhah wa taala your whole communication should be with Allah subhah

[7:15]wa ta'ala and Allah wants you to build that relationship with him

[7:18]that you sit down on your prayer man and you communicate with

[7:22]him you speak with him you build a good bond with Allah

[7:27]subhana tala why because in essence he's the only one that truly

[7:33]matters he's the only one that's going to be with you the

[7:36]whole time so when you leave this dun if you've already built

[7:40]this relationship with him you've already had this beautiful communication with him

[7:45]you're aware of his presence you befriended Allah subhah wa ta'ala when

[7:50]you leave this world you're not going to feel this loneliness why

[7:55]because the presence of Allah subhana tala has always been with you

[8:01]you've already built this bond with him you're aware of his presence

[8:04]and in reality there's no better friend to have than God humans

[8:10]we betray each other we backbite each other we speak against each

[8:16]other it's true we also have good qualities with one another but

[8:21]there's always that possibility that the friend does something that's selfish they

[8:26]might hurt you they might turn against you even your own family

[8:29]it's not guaranteed that they're going to be good to you all

[8:31]the time we always see brothers who fight with each other a

[8:36]father that doesn't speak to his son a mother that doesn't speak

[8:38]to her son or daughter a father that doesn't speak to his

[8:41]brothers so the uncles are severed with their relationships even families that

[8:49]are born and share the same blood in this world they also

[8:51]can fight with one another and they disconnect from one another nothing

[8:56]is guaranteed and usually this happens because one one of them or

[9:02]both of them are selfish they go after their own wants so

[9:05]they're ready to cut their relationship with their families over a dispute

[9:09]and sometimes it's a very small dispute it's an insignificant dispute and

[9:16]they ruin this relationship but if you connect with God you connect

[9:20]with Allah subhana wa tala he's that friend that will never sever

[9:24]his relationship with you over some selfish matter in fact he's the

[9:30]most generous he's the most loving he's the most caring if you

[9:34]sit with Allah subhana wa tala and you build that relationship with

[9:37]him you would find a friend that would always be there for

[9:41]you when you need him even when you make mistakes Allah subhana

[9:47]T is the first to forgive the first to overlook your mistakes

[9:52]a regular friend of yours if you make a mistake you wrong

[9:57]them if they're you're very close with them they might forg give

[10:00]you the first time but the second time the third time the

[10:03]fourth time they say I can't I can't be your friend anymore

[10:08]you keep repeating these mistakes you keep hurting me but Allah subhana

[10:13]T is the one who will always forgive no matter how many

[10:16]mistakes you perform no much no matter how much you transgress against

[10:21]him he's always there to forgive and this is what our imams

[10:28]have taught us this is what the prophet s Alam has us

[10:30]this is what the Quran talks about as well so focus on

[10:38]building your relationship with he who is the best to have a

[10:44]relationship with so one That Forgives when you make mistakes one that

[10:50]is always there to listen to you when you're sitting on your

[10:55]prayer man or at night and you have a lot of pressure

[10:57]on you and you're going through so much diff difficulties in life

[11:02]you want to talk to someone you want to empty out your

[11:04]heart who is it better to speak to other than Allah subhana

[11:10]wa tala number one because God will always listen to you this

[11:14]is guaranteed he always listens number two when he listens to you

[11:19]he doesn't have any selfish motive he listens purely out of care

[11:27]for you and number three God is the ultimate one that can

[11:30]really help you in your problems but you have to become aware

[11:35]of this this is the difference so working on your relationship with

[11:39]Allah subh subhana wa tala is very necessary and if you get

[11:42]close to him you would find this beautiful relationship the aah those

[11:51]who have tried to walk on this spiritual path talk to us

[11:57]about this loving relationship they have with God of course anybody who

[12:02]didn't experience love doesn't understand what this means we have a lot

[12:08]of poets who wrote poems about love we have authors who wrote

[12:11]stories about love in the west we have Romeo and Juliet in

[12:16]the East they have maon and Lea and these individuals talk about

[12:21]love being something that's incomprehensible they think about their beloved morning and

[12:28]night everything that's in their mind is about their loved one but

[12:33]not everybody experiences this kind of love we don't understand how majon

[12:37]was feeling when he used to think about his beloved one Lea

[12:41]we don't know it unless you've experienced that kind of love but

[12:46]whoever did experience it becomes annihilated in it it overtakes them they

[12:51]think about their beloved one every single moment if they eat they're

[12:58]thinking about their beloved one if they sleep they're thinking about their

[13:04]loved one if you read The Poetry of maon it's it's unbelievable

[13:07]how he was crazy about his beloved one Lea everything he talks

[13:14]about was her his whole thought his whole feeling he used to

[13:19]go to her house the whole time all he was dreaming of

[13:23]his whole life is just to have one moment to see her

[13:26]so this feeling of love is not something that you can claim

[13:31]it's something that you have to experience but when you do experience

[13:34]it you would realize that there is nothing more beautiful than it

[13:39]the difference is that majnun was attached to a human being and

[13:44]that human being if you love to that degree there's always going

[13:49]to be some sort of disappointment but with Allah subhana tal the

[13:52]more you love him the more you get close to him the

[13:57]more fulfilled you're going to feel the more beautiful the sensation the

[14:01]more your soul expands and this month is a very very beautiful

[14:04]month to begin to experience this type of relationship why because we're

[14:12]teaching ourselves to detach ourselves from things that are not truly essential

[14:19]to our lives like our food like intimacy all of these are

[14:22]blessings that God has given us in this world but he wants

[14:27]us to understand that this is not what is going to be

[14:30]Everlasting with you if you eat a meal the pleasure of it

[14:34]finishes when the meal finishes maybe a bit more after that if

[14:37]you have an intimate relationship you take your pleasure from that and

[14:41]it ends not too long after it any type of pleasure that

[14:46]you take that's related to the body has a limit so in

[14:50]this month Allah subhana wa tala wants us to redirect our Focus

[14:56]From the external Pleasures to realize the internal Pleasures because etal Pleasures

[15:00]don't end as quick as physical Pleasures they remain much longer they

[15:06]used to talk about a scholar who was a very pure scholar

[15:11]and when he used to speak and he would advise people and

[15:16]he would speak from his heart they would say that the effect

[15:18]of his speech used to stay for one week in our hearts

[15:23]they would feel it they would go home in a different state

[15:26]so a spiritual pleasure remains is much longer than physical pleasure if

[15:32]you sit down in your prayer and you focus and you have

[15:36]this beautiful moment with God and you feel so spiritual internally that

[15:41]pleasure would last very long depending on the intensity of it it

[15:44]can last for a day it can last for an hour it

[15:48]can last for a week sometimes it can last for a month

[15:49]depending on how much Focus you put into it but a physical

[15:54]pleasure will never last that long so in this month Allah subhana

[15:57]T wants us to experience that spiritual pleasure he says okay detach

[16:05]yourself from what's physical for a moment I want you to turn

[16:08]inwardly I want you to realize that there's another part of you

[16:11]that you've been neglecting for the past year and this is what

[16:18]the month is for but there's a condition the prophet says the

[16:21]one who is focused on fulfilling his conditions will experience this whoever

[16:28]does then all they'll get from Shah Ramadan as the prophet says

[16:33]is just hunger and thirst they don't eat and they don't drink

[16:37]so they suffer from that they just feel hungry and they feel

[16:42]thirsty but they don't end up fulfilling the goal and objective of

[16:46]fasting so it's true that not eating and not drinking and not

[16:51]doing anything that breaks the fast is important but it doesn't give

[16:57]us the goal and objective of of fasting it just as assists

[17:01]us it gives us the first push the rest of it is

[17:07]your responsibility it's like a doctor who gives you medicine and he

[17:10]tells you you take this medication you're going to feel better but

[17:15]you also have to exercise you also have to take care of

[17:18]your diet and so on and so forth if you don't then

[17:22]you're not going to get the positive effect of what I'm telling

[17:26]you and God tells us okay this is I'm I'm giving you

[17:30]the first push the rest of it is on you so during

[17:34]this month it's true that fasting is very important but it's important

[17:37]for us to pay attention to wanting to reach the goal of

[17:40]fasting when I'm not eating and not drinking I shouldn't put that

[17:45]as my objective this month I just don't eat and I don't

[17:49]drink and that's it no I don't eat and I don't drink

[17:54]now I can focus on things that I haven't been focusing on

[17:57]throughout the whole year maybe when I'm eating and drinking I'm thinking

[18:00]about food the whole time I'm thinking about other types of Pleasures

[18:03]the whole time now God is telling me forget these okay he

[18:08]just wants me to forget them for the sake of forgetting them

[18:10]no when I forget them I say okay now it's my job

[18:16]to begin to focus internally on myself I have no distractions I

[18:19]have nothing that's going to stand in my way anymore let me

[18:23]sit down and pray let me sit down and contemplate let me

[18:28]sit down and think let me sit down and try to discover

[18:29]who I am as an individual mam Muhammad all prais is due

[19:03]to Allah the creator of creation the provider of sustenance the splitter

[19:08]of dawn the possessor of majesty and honor Grace and Bounty he

[19:12]is the one who is so distant that he cannot be seen

[19:18]yet so near that he Witnesses secret conversations blessed and exalted is

[19:23]he I bear witness that there is no God but God Alone

[19:28]with no partner and I bear witness that Muhammad s is a

[19:36]servant and messenger oh Allah send your blessings upon Muhammad your servant

[19:43]and messenger your trusted one your Chosen One your beloved and your

[19:47]elect from among your Creation The Keeper of your secret the deliverer

[19:53]of your messages send upon him the best most perfect most beautiful

[20:02]most complete purest most abundant most pleasing and most exalted blessings that

[20:09]you have ever bestowed upon any of your servants prophets Messengers or

[20:14]the chosen ones from among your creation who are honored in your

[20:18]presence oh Allah send your blessings upon Ali the commander of the

[20:24]faithful the successor of the messenger of the lord of the world

[20:27]your servant your friend the brother of your messenger your proof upon

[20:32]your creation your great sign and great news and send blessings upon

[20:36]the truthful pure Fatima the leader of the woman of the worlds

[20:42]and send blessings upon the two grandsons of mercy and the two

[20:46]leaders of guidance Hassan and Hussein the masters of the Youth of

[20:49]paradise and send blessings upon the imams of the Muslims Ali Hussein

[20:54]Muhammad Ali ja Muhammad M ja Ali Muhammad Ali Al Muhammad Hass

[21:04]Ali and The Guiding rightly guided successor Al Mahi your proofs and

[21:10]your servants upon your creatures in your lands abundant and continuous blessings

[21:26]this long or sort of long blessing that I was reading is

[21:34]thinking from Dua which hopefully you'll read at least one time during

[21:41]this month it's beautiful to look at the duas that we have

[21:44]during Shah Ramadan we have some beautiful supplications that the imams have

[21:47]taught us that they've narrated and that the prophet sallallah alaihi wasallam

[21:51]has taught us as well one of those supplications is a supplication

[21:57]that can be found in a by IM our fourth IM alusin

[22:08]the 44th supplication in the is titled his supplication for the coming

[22:15]of the month of Ramadan and I've spoken before about the importance

[22:20]of Supplication to sit down and to supplicate now there's a difference

[22:26]between certain types of supplications sometimes when I pray to God and

[22:33]it's my own prayer it's a prayer that's usually very personal it's

[22:37]about something that I want and usually it's an immediate concern so

[22:41]if I have a problem I ask Allah subhana T to remove

[22:46]that problem from my life if I love somebody and I want

[22:48]to marry them I pray to Allah that make that person available

[22:53]for me I want to marry that individual so whenever we we

[22:56]ask for something it's usually a very personal request we don't know

[23:04]whether it's the best thing to ask for or not you might

[23:06]be in a relationship and you are speaking to someone and you

[23:11]really feel in love with that individual but Allah subhana T knows

[23:14]that you might be happy with them right now but when you

[23:16]come to live in a long-term relationship with that individual they might

[23:21]not be the right person for you whatever you're enjoying right now

[23:26]might not continue after the marriage because when you make a long-term

[23:30]commitment the nature of the relationship changes you might be happy as

[23:36]individuals who are not committed to each other but once the commitment

[23:40]comes then you might change so you think that this is the

[23:43]best person for me but Allah knows that it's not so when

[23:48]we pray we usually pray with our own understanding with our own

[23:52]limitations so how do we get to know how to pray for

[23:57]the thing that's better for us because prayer supposed to elevate us

[24:00]it has to help us to go beyond ourselves the best way

[24:04]is to go to the prayers of the imams they teach us

[24:10]how to speak to God and what to ask for that will

[24:14]improve our lives and when they teach us how to pray they

[24:19]try to elevate our Consciousness as well our level of understanding they

[24:26]try to remove us from a certain state of mind and put

[24:29]us in another state of mind how through the words because words

[24:35]are connected to meanings and words are very powerful one nice word

[24:39]could change the mood of a whole individual the prophet sallallahu wasallam

[24:45]says whoever says I love you to his wife it will never

[24:51]leave her heart for the rest of her life one word could

[24:54]have an everlasting effect on an individual you criticize the child you

[25:00]tell them that they're stupid they don't understand this might remain with

[25:04]them to the end of their lives it might have hurt their

[25:08]heart a word is very effective it's very powerful things that you

[25:15]say to people they have an immense effect on them so the

[25:18]imams use the power of words and language in order to create

[25:25]a certain mindset inside of us to create a certain spiritual State

[25:29]inside inside of us in this Dua the Imam Begins by praising

[25:36]Allah subhah tala and they taught us that whenever you want to

[25:39]begin with speaking to God you have to begin praising him why

[25:42]because you want to elevate yourself from the human realm to the

[25:49]Divine realm if you want to enter the Divine realm you have

[25:51]to understand where you're going where you're entering when the prophet and

[25:56]the imams used to stand for Salat their standing wasn't like our

[26:00]standing for Salah when they used to stand they used to tremble

[26:04]and when they were asked why do you enter such a state

[26:09]why do you tremble when you want to pray the Imam would

[26:12]tell them if you only knew before who you're standing you will

[26:18]tremble as I am trembling the imams were aware of the divine

[26:21]presence they were removed from their worldly experience to their spiritual experience

[26:27]so they try to help us to do that by teaching us

[26:32]these duas you begin with praising Allah subhana wa tala you elevate

[26:36]your Consciousness and your mind who am I speaking with who am

[26:42]I addressing when you're reading du you have to be in this

[26:45]state you're not just reading words off of a paper or a

[26:47]PowerPoint be aware of who you're talking to you're talking to the

[26:54]creator of all of creation these infinite universes are created by this

[26:58]being that you're speaking with with this is How Majestic and great

[27:03]he is so beginning a Dua with praising Allah subhana wa tala

[27:06]puts us in that beautiful state reminding ourselves that we are praising

[27:11]and speaking to the creator of all things and he's not only

[27:18]a Creator in every Dua the IM uses different words that are

[27:23]related to the request in the Dua so in one sense Allah

[27:25]subhana T is a creator in another sense like in Du there's

[27:31]a section where you praise Allah subhana wa tala as the destroyer

[27:34]of the oppressors and those arrogant rulers Allah subhana T is the

[27:42]one that has dominance over them and you pray that when you're

[27:45]speaking about something regarding removing oppressors from this world you use those

[27:51]names those attributes of Allah subhana wa tal so in the beginning

[27:55]of the Dua the IM says for this is the first segment

[28:35]the IM Praises Allah subhana by saying praise belongs to God who

[28:42]guided us to his praise this is so beautiful even the praise

[28:46]of Allah subhana wa ta'ala Allah is the one who taught us

[28:52]and he guided us to this praise if it wasn't for God's

[28:54]guidance and given us this to we won't even be able to

[28:59]praise him how many people live in this world that don't have

[29:02]the blessing of praising Allah subhana wa tala that don't have that

[29:05]beautiful experience this is a blessing for you so your ability to

[29:10]praise Allah subhana wa tala is a blessing that you have to

[29:13]thank Allah subhana wa tala for Allah gave us the power and

[29:18]ability to understand the importance of praising him and placed us among

[29:25]the people of Praise not everybody Praises there's a select group of

[29:30]people and alhamdulillah that we are of those individuals who were given

[29:36]this blessing that we might be among the thankful for His blessings

[29:42]and that he might reward us for that so on top of

[29:45]Allah subhana T being naturally deserving of being praised and we don't

[29:52]have to get anything in return Allah and his nature because him

[29:56]being God we have to praise Him us being his creatures but

[30:00]if we praise him which we have to do anyways Allah subhana

[30:05]T says I will reward you for that this is how generous

[30:08]and kind he is so the IM is already putting us in

[30:11]this state that you're speaking to Allah a being who is so

[30:18]generous that even when you do your duty he rewards you for

[30:21]it he doesn't say this is your duty and you have to

[30:26]do this you don't deserve any reward for it the P the

[30:30]the the Divine being who you're speaking with Allah subhana tala is

[30:34]so generous that even for your duty he rewards you the prayer

[30:38]that we do a servant must worship His God but Allah says

[30:43]I will reward you for this even though this is your duty

[30:45]and your obligation this is how kind and generous and loving he

[30:50]is so we're putting this in our mind when we're speaking to

[30:54]him and praise belongs to God who show favor to us through

[31:01]his religion singled us out for his Creed and directed us onto

[31:05]the roads of his beneficence so the Imam tells us there's different

[31:10]roads that we can take to benefit from Allah subhana wa T

[31:15]and take blessings from him in order that through his kindness we

[31:19]might travel upon them to his good pleasure a praise which he

[31:25]will accept from us and through which he will be pleased with

[31:28]us us and then the Imam says and praise belongs to God

[31:36]who appointed among those roads this month it says there's many roads

[31:40]that take you to Allah subhana wa ta'ala one of the roads

[31:42]that takes you to God is this month so the month of

[31:47]Ramadan is a road that if you go on you are moving

[31:50]towards Allah subhana T the destination and the goal that you will

[31:54]reach is Allah subhah wa ta'ala then the IM begins to describe

[31:57]the month he doesn't just say the month of Ramadan he wants

[32:01]us to understand the reality of this month he says this is

[32:04]the month of Ramadan the month of fasting the month of submission

[32:12]the month of Purity the month of putting to test the month

[32:16]of standing in prayer in which the Quran was sent down as

[32:20]a guidance to the people and it's clear signs of the guidance

[32:25]and the separator so this is not just a month of fasting

[32:28]there's Purity in this month Angels come down things happen in the

[32:35]spiritual world that we cannot see with our eyes the Quran was

[32:37]revealed to the prophet in an instance in this month upon the

[32:40]prophet's heart a lot of spiritual things happen we might not see

[32:46]them but the doors of the heavens are open we don't know

[32:51]about that right if the prophet didn't tell us we wouldn't have

[32:53]known that the doors of Heavens are open now the prayers are

[32:55]answered much quicker Mercy is coming coming down on the Believers this

[33:00]is a special and unique month at the same time it's the

[33:07]month of submission in this month our submission to Allah subhana wa

[33:11]tala must be strengthened whatever he asked us for we submit to

[33:15]him the month of putting to test it's true that it's a

[33:21]month of forgiveness but it's also there's a challenge in this not

[33:24]eating and not drinking and not doing bodily Pleasures is a test

[33:31]it's not an easy thing to do but this test has to

[33:33]be done not only on the surface level but on the deeper

[33:38]level as well because every worship has many different levels the lowest

[33:42]level of fasting is not eating not drinking and not doing things

[33:45]that break your past you have to go to the deeper level

[33:52]of that your tongue has to fast as says that the fasting

[33:55]of the tongue is better than the fasting of the body so

[33:59]the fasting of the body should be an introduction to moving you

[34:05]towards that deeper type of fasting so this month is a month

[34:09]of testing as well he clarified his Excellence over months by the

[34:15]many sacred and well-known excellencies which he placed therein for he made

[34:20]unlawful in it what he had declared lawful in others to magnify

[34:25]you here the Imam is giving us the philosophy of forbidding things

[34:27]in this month by making things Haram in Shah Ramadan forbidden he's

[34:34]exalting this month you know when you want to go to somewhere

[34:38]that's very classy very luxurious very important they put a lot of

[34:46]rules and regulations no speaking over here you have to dress in

[34:50]a certain way you're not allowed to come to your with your

[34:52]pajamas to this very important meeting you're not allowed to speak randomly

[34:58]yet to take turns in speaking when Allah subhana tala forbath certain

[35:03]things it's because he wanted to us to understand that this month

[35:08]is not like any other month we're entering into a very sacred

[35:13]place that's different from all the other 11 places that we are

[35:16]in throughout the year by forbidding things he instills that in our

[35:22]mind and our hearts don't treat this month like you treat any

[35:25]other month this month has a sacredness that other month don't have

[35:30]he prohibited foods and drinks in it to honor it it raises

[35:38]its honor and he appointed for it a clear time which he

[35:42]Majestic and Mighty Is he allows not allows not to be set

[35:48]forward and accepts not to be placed behind so this month is

[35:51]that sacred month that we are in right now and Allah subhana

[35:56]tala psychologically has placed us in a situation to realize this he's

[36:00]prohibited things so that we understand this and he's told us that

[36:05]this month is above all months that the doors of Mercy are

[36:08]open forgiveness is open in this month forgive each other if you

[36:13]want to be forgiven love each other if you want to be

[36:15]loved so our job as Muslim is to honor this month to

[36:21]take advantage of it this is one month in a year where

[36:25]we get to experience this Al together and our objetive is to

[36:29]leave this month not like how we were before we enter this

[36:35]month our objective has to be by the time that the month

[36:36]of Ramadan finishes I'm a changed individual I don't have these pollutants

[36:41]in my heart that I had before the month has entered anything

[36:46]that's in my heart hatred anger problems that I haven't resolved this

[36:52]month should not be a month like any other month if in

[36:58]other months I would allow myself to be angry at individuals I

[37:00]want to take revenge and this month I don't want to be

[37:05]like that I want to be a different person change yourself internally

[37:09]take advantage of this month our life is passing and people who

[37:12]have lived in this world and fasted more than one Ramadan think

[37:16]about your life and the year that has passed how many Ramadan

[37:19]have you experienced one 2 3 10 how much have you advanced

[37:26]in your life how much have you changed as an individual if

[37:29]you see that you haven't changed much from one Ramadan to the

[37:33]other try to make this year different than the years have pass

[37:36]because we don't know if we're going to live till the next

[37:39]Ramadan this might be the last Ramadan that we experience insh Allah

[37:44]gives everyone here at long life in his service and his praise

[37:47]and his worship but think about this make sure that you don't

[37:53]leave this month without being fully forgived and in order to do

[37:56]that a very important thing is to forgive other people yes people

[37:59]wrong you they make mistakes but if you keep that in your

[38:04]heart it's going to be a burden that's going to pull you

[38:06]down it's going to Tire you so lift the way off of

[38:12]yourself forgive other people Overlook their mistakes if you want Allah subhana

[38:16]T to forgive you you have to express that forgiveness too in

[38:19]your life I ask Allah subhana T to forgive us all our

[38:24]sins to bless us during this month and to make us realize

[38:27]what we really have to do and not leave this month without

[38:32]being purified and removing all our sins [Music] ill
