[0:34][sighs] Alhamdulillah.

[0:48]for Muhammad.

[1:09][clears throat] Respected scholars, brothers and sisters, we mentioned over the course

[1:46]of the last nights of our discussions that the holy month of

[1:53]Ramadan is the season to turn to Allahawajel and to restart your

[1:59]relationship with him.

[2:01]And there is no better way, no way that is more effective

[2:10]in reviving a relationship and igniting a connection than conversing, engaging in

[2:19]conversation.

[2:18]If you've been distant from someone, if you have been far away

[2:25]from a friend or a family member, the best way to reignite

[2:29]that relationship is through conversation.

[2:32]And thus, we speak to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala during the month

[2:40]of Ramadan.

[2:38]And we speak to Allahawel through dua.

[2:42]That's why we spoke about the importance of dua in our lives.

[2:48]And we said the month of Ramadan is the month of dua.

[2:54]Is there any other month out of the year that you can

[2:57]come for 30 nights to the masjid and congregationally recite beautiful duas

[3:04]of together?

[3:05]Is there any other month of the year besides the month of

[3:09]Ramadan?

[3:10]For 30 nights the believers gather and they recite this beautiful dua.

[3:16]It's a dua where immedi Allah how to ask for our how

[3:24]to ask for our through because they are the they are the

[3:33]intercession the was between us and Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala he teaches

[3:37]us how to confess our sins to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

[3:43]So in essence when we are doing dua we are speaking to

[3:46]Allahawel and this strengthens our bond with Allah.

[3:52]But part of having a conversation part of the etiquette and the

[4:01]adb of having a conversation is to make sure that you don't

[4:07]do all the talking.

[4:08]You have to allow the other side to also speak.

[4:11]You have to hear them out.

[4:15]Listen to the other side.

[4:17]A conversation is half speaking and have listening.

[4:20]So with our relationship with Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, we spoke about

[4:25]the first aspect.

[4:26]Speak to Allah to create that connection through dua.

[4:32]But in return, we also have to listen to Allah.

[4:36]We also have to hear the words of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

[4:41]And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala speaks to us my dear brothers and

[4:48]sisters through the Quran.

[4:48]The holy book of Allah.

[4:53]The Quran is how Allah communicates to us.

[4:54]We speak to him through dua.

[4:58]Dua Abu Hamali imbaches you how to speak to Allah.

[5:03]But if you want to hear Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, then open

[5:09]the Quran, the beautiful Quran, 6, and almost 300 verses that Allah

[5:16]subhanahu wa ta'ala revealed, this is Allah speaking to you.

[5:19]So during the month of Ramadan when you listen to Quran recitation

[5:25]as every night you notice someone comes and recites Quran.

[5:29]When you listen to Quran being recited during the month of Ramadan

[5:36]and every month realize that these aren't just some verses that were

[5:42]revealed 1400 years ago.

[5:46]This is how some people interact with the Quran when they hear

[5:49]the Quran.

[5:50]This is history.

[5:51]Verses revealed 1,400 years ago.

[5:56]No, the Quran when you listen to it, these are words that

[6:01]are speaking to you today now, living words.

[6:06]Allahawel is addressing you.

[6:08]He's speaking to every single one of us.

[6:14]So for example, when you hear a verse where Allah says, "Oh

[6:18]you who believe, Allah is speaking to you as a believer." When

[6:25]Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says, Allah is speaking to you as a

[6:31]servant, as a slave.

[6:30]This is Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala directly speaking to you.

[6:37]He's telling you something.

[6:38]When Allah says, he's speaking to all of humanity.

[6:41]When he says, he's speaking to all the human beings.

[6:47]When he says, he is speaking to me as a human being,

[6:54]as an insan.

[6:56]So, you see, there are so many verses in the Quran where

[7:02]Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is directly addressing us.

[7:04]He's talking to us.

[7:07]He is speaking to us.

[7:08]And when anybody speaks to you, you listen.

[7:11]You are attentive to that individual.

[7:15]You direct your focus and attention to the individual who is speaking.

[7:21]When you hear verses in the Quran where Allah tells us about

[7:29]the fact that our sins, our deeds, all our deeds will be

[7:35]recorded.

[7:34]For example, he says Allah says, I have entrusted two angels to

[7:46]write all your deeds.

[7:50]It's all being written in a book.

[7:55]Allah says everything that happens, every word that you that you utter,

[8:00]every act that you take, every decision that you make, Allah is

[8:07]writing it in a book.

[8:07]And the Quran tells us that on the day of judgment, Allah

[8:12]will present us with this book.

[8:14]Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says, On the day of judgment, Allah will

[8:28]present you a book, a book of your Allah will tell you,

[8:35]read your book.

[8:35]This is everything that you did in your life.

[8:38]When Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala tells us about that, he's trying to

[8:46]remind us that we're being watched so that we behave.

[8:49]So that we have selfawareness.

[8:52]So that when we speak, we think before we speak, before we

[8:57]act, we think.

[8:59]Don't they say you have the right to remain silent because it

[9:02]could be used against you?

[9:03]Allah is telling you that in the Quran.

[9:06]These aren't just stories for you to enjoy.

[9:09]Allah is communicating a message to you.

[9:13]When we read verses about Jenna, about paradise and the pleasures and

[9:21]the beauties of paradise, the rivers and the beautiful trees and the

[9:28]orchards of the paradise of Allah and the foods that Allah subhanahu

[9:36]wa ta'ala will provide.

[9:38]Everything that you desire and can imagine Allah will provide it to

[9:46]you in his paradise.

[9:49]Why is Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala telling me about Jenna about paradise?

[9:58]Because Allah wants to inspire you to work for Jenna.

[10:00]He's inviting you to his paradise.

[10:02]He's telling you, you see this beautiful paradise that I'm describing?

[10:06]I built this for you.

[10:11]I created this for you.

[10:11]Just do some small good deeds.

[10:14]Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will accept the minimum.

[10:20]We do the least and Allah gives us the most.

[10:24]when we read verses of the fires of hell and I know

[10:31]many of us we don't like listening about there are some places

[10:36]where I've recited when they've told me say please don't speak about

[10:40]jannam don't speak about the fires of hell because this is scary

[10:45]well if it's in the Quran maybe Allah wanted to scare us

[10:47]a little but why does Allah tell me about Janam and what

[10:53]the people of Jahannam the fires of hell will go through and

[10:55]what they will eat and the struggle and the suffering that they

[10:59]will go through.

[11:02]Why?

[11:03]Allah is warning me.

[11:03]He's telling me stay away from what takes you to Jahannam.

[11:08]I don't want you to go to Jannam.

[11:11]Allah doesn't want anyone to go to Jannam.

[11:14]So it's a deterrent.

[11:14]He's warning me.

[11:17]Stay away from 1, two, three, four, five, and I will protect

[11:21]you from Janam.

[11:22]When Allah tells us stories of the earlier nations and their struggles

[11:30]and what they went through, this isn't just a history lesson.

[11:35]Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is communicating to me directly.

[11:38]Allah is telling me to be careful not to follow the same

[11:46]route that they followed.

[11:46]Allah shows us in the Quran that when injustice was committed, Allah

[11:52]retaliated.

[11:54]That when individuals act arrogantly, when they acted with corruption, Allah subhanahu

[12:01]wa ta'ala punished them.

[12:04]And this is a message for me.

[12:08]Allah is telling me, be careful.

[12:10]Don't go down the same route as those individuals.

[12:13]How many times does Allah mention the story of the shaitan Satan

[12:19]and how he refused to do sujud to Adam?

[12:22]Why is Allah telling us over and over again?

[12:25]Because Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is trying to teach us a lesson.

[12:31]He's telling me in the same way that arrogance took down the

[12:34]shan and it destroyed him, it can destroy me as well.

[12:37]Arrogance can destroy our dunya, our lives, our relationships.

[12:45]and arrogance can destroy your so Allah is telling you be humble

[12:49]but he's telling you through a story when Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

[12:54]tells us the story of and the two sons of Adam and

[13:01]killed Habil Allah is essentially telling us warning us beware of envy

[13:06]envy can lead you to killing your own brother you don't believe

[13:10]me the two sons of a prophet did it.

[13:13]And not only in the story of Habil and Kabil, but in

[13:19]the story of Ysef and his brothers.

[13:22]They were all sons of a prophet Yah.

[13:25]But their envy towards their brother led them to try to kill

[13:29]their own brother.

[13:31]The message that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is communicating is beware of

[13:36]envy.

[13:37]It could destroy families.

[13:39]It could destroy your life.

[13:40]And when allahel tells us about the lives of the prophets of

[13:46]Allah of the messengers about the life of Allah and the early

[13:50]struggles of the Muslims, this is not just a history lesson.

[13:58]Allah is telling us that in the same way they struggled, you

[14:01]Muslims today will also struggle.

[14:02]But don't lose hope.

[14:07]Don't think that evil will always prevail.

[14:08]Don't think just because you are over powered or you're outnumbered that

[14:17]means that you will be defeated.

[14:23]This is a verse where Allah is speaking to me today 2026.

[14:28][snorts] Even if you think the enemies are too much, too great.

[14:31]They've outnumbered us.

[14:34]But Allah says, "How many small groups, outnumbered groups through the power

[14:40]of Allah, they were able to defeat and overwhelm larger groups because

[14:45]when Allah is with you, everything is possible." So Allah is giving

[14:50]us hope.

[14:49]He's consoling us.

[14:51]So the Holy Quran, my dear brothers and sisters, is a book

[14:58]that communicates to us.

[14:58]It speaks to us.

[15:01]And during the month of Ramadan, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala wants you

[15:06]to open your heart and listen to the Quran.

[15:10]How many times do we really listen to what the Quran is

[15:16]telling us?

[15:16]Because the imams of describe the month of Ramadan as being Ramadan,

[15:27]the month of Ramadan is springtime for the Quran.

[15:31]Meaning in the same way that the earth blossoms during spring that

[15:38]we can't wait for, the Holy Quran blossoms in the month of

[15:42]Ramadan.

[15:43]It blossoms in our lives.

[15:47]and it blossoms in our hearts.

[15:48]So Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says this is the time to open

[15:52]your heart and listen to the Quran because the Quran can change

[15:55]your life.

[15:57]And that's why tonight I'd like to speak about the etiquets of

[16:04]listening to the Quran.

[16:05]How can we properly listen to the Quran so that the Quran

[16:13]can actually impact us?

[16:13]so that the Quran can make a change in our lives.

[16:19]Now the most important rule that Allahawel states about listening to the

[16:25]Quran is where Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala mentions these two criterias in

[16:35]the holy Quran.

[16:35]He says, "When you hear the Quran being recited, Allah says, do

[16:48]two things." And this is the adab of listening to the Quran.

[16:55]The Quran says number one, listen to the Quran.

[17:03]Listen means what?

[17:04]Listen means pay attention.

[17:07]You're not just hearing it.

[17:08]There's hearing and then there's listening.

[17:11]That's when you have directed your attention and your focus to the

[17:15]words of Allah.

[17:22]Means remain silent.

[17:26]Be quiet.

[17:27]The Quran is about to be recited.

[17:30]This is what Allah says in the Holy Quran.

[17:33]Anytime you're in the masjid and the Quran is about to be

[17:40]recited, the Quran says, "Stop your conversation.

[17:40]Stop talking.

[17:43]Answer to and pay attention to the Quran." Because sometimes we can

[17:48]be quiet, but then we'll be distracted.

[17:50]I'll take out my phone and I'll be messaging and scrolling and

[17:54]playing with my phone.

[17:57]I'm silent, but what's the problem?

[17:59]I'm not listening.

[17:59]direct your attention to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to the verses of

[18:04]Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala these are the two adabs that Allah teaches

[18:11]us when it comes to listening to the Quran even if you

[18:13]are in a funeral when you go to a funeral you see

[18:17]the Quran is playing or someone is reciting Quran Allah says be

[18:21]quiet and listen to the Quran in your house in your car

[18:28]when the Quran is being recited then be quiet and listen to

[18:35]the Quran.

[18:35]Now why does Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala tell us that?

[18:41]Three reasons.

[18:40]Number one, the first reason why Allah focuses on being quiet and

[18:50]listening to the Quran is because this is a sign of respect

[18:56]to the words of Allah.

[18:57]We mentioned that the Quran is not just a history book.

[19:01]It's not a newspaper.

[19:02]It's not poetry.

[19:04]The Quran is the direct words of Allah.

[19:07]He's talking to you.

[19:10]And when Allah speaks to you, the least we can do is

[19:17]what?

[19:18]Show our respect, our adab.

[19:19]Be cordious with Allah and listen.

[19:23]Pay attention.

[19:23]Imagine.

[19:24]Imagine if there's a very important speaker who comes to deliver a

[19:29]message to you 5 minutes, 7 minutes and everybody is chatting and

[19:35]talking and on their phones.

[19:37]How will that speaker feel?

[19:39]Nobody cares about what I'm saying.

[19:41]These people have no respect for me.

[19:43]Why have you even attended if you're not interested in listening to

[19:50]my words?

[19:48]So when we listen to the Quran, I'm showing respect to Allah

[19:54]because Allah is talking to me.

[19:57]When someone talks to you, pay attention.

[19:59]Look at them.

[20:02]Focus.

[20:01]This is why Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says, and when you look

[20:11]at they were very careful with this etiquette.

[20:13]When the imams of B would hear someone reciting the Quran, they

[20:19]would quickly remain silent and they would listen to the Quran because

[20:27]this is what Allah orders in the Quran because these are the

[20:31]words of Allah, the king of the universe.

[20:35]He's speaking and you're talking over him and you're distracted.

[20:37]What could be more important than Allah?

[20:42]Nothing.

[20:41]So, debates.

[20:45]They took recitation of Quran seriously.

[20:50]In one hadith imam narrates that one day Im Ali he was

[21:02]leading I assume injur probably he's the he's leading the jama there

[21:09]are hundreds of people praying behind him.

[21:10]The Imam is reciting in his salah.

[21:16]All of a sudden a man by the name of Abdullahn Kawdahn

[21:21]Kawwa was a Kari.

[21:24]The Karajis they used to hate Im Ali Ali.

[21:27]They used to even believe that Imam Ali disbelieved.

[21:31]They were with Imam Ali in the beginning but then they turned

[21:34]against him and they fought against Imam Ali in the battle of

[21:41]Nahawan because they believed that Im Ali Ali committed kufur disbelief and

[21:46]he apostasized.

[21:46]So Kawwa would constantly harass Imam Ali, bother him, disrespected, disrespect the

[21:53]Imam until one day, you know what he did?

[21:57]He came inside the masjid.

[21:58]The Imam is praying, he's leading salah, he's reciting out loud.

[22:03]This mannaw, he comes and he interrupts the salat of he does

[22:13]it in a clever way.

[22:16]Had he started to speak, he would have gotten kicked out.

[22:19]So he started to recite the Quran.

[22:22]Imagine you're praying jama, someone randomly recites the Quran, disrupts your salah,

[22:27]and he chooses a clever verse.

[22:31]This was a very satanic way, a verse in which he condemns

[22:37]Im Ali through.

[22:39]He dis disrespects Imam Ali through a verse.

[22:40]Which verse does he read?

[22:46]He reads verse 65.

[22:54]Allah says in the holy Quran to his prophet, he says, "Look,

[23:02]even you Allah, if you commit the smallest act of associate a

[23:07]partner with me with Allah, all your good deeds and your hard

[23:13]work, they'll be nullified.

[23:13]I won't count it for you and you will be from the

[23:15]losers." And Allah is serious.

[23:20]Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala tells the prophet, "Obey me in everything that

[23:25]I ask you.

[23:24]If you don't, if you begin to falter, then I won't count

[23:31]anything for you.

[23:33]So he recites this verse loudly and he interrupts the salah of

[23:39]basically he's telling Ali and you committed you committed kufur and all

[23:45]your hard work in the beginning of Islam the battles of and

[23:51]all the heroic acts of Im Ali Allah will not count it

[23:55]for you and you will be from the losers.

[23:56]This is how he talks to Im Ali.

[23:59]But look at the adab of Im Ali.

[24:03]He tries to provoke him.

[24:04]Im says as soon as began to recite this verse, Im Ali,

[24:12]he stopped.

[24:14]He stopped the salah.

[24:17]He stopped reciting.

[24:17]Why?

[24:18]Because the Quran was being recited.

[24:22]He listened.

[24:22]Once Kawa finished that verse, the Imam continued his salah.

[24:27]Kawwa interrupted a second time.

[24:31]He he he recited this verse a second time.

[24:32]Once again, Imm Ali Alisam he stays silent.

[24:36]He allows him to continue to recite the Quran and he stays

[24:42]silent.

[24:43]He did it three times and every time I im Ali stayed

[24:46]silent and he listened.

[24:51]Why?

[24:48]Because the Quran says when the Quran is being recited, be quiet

[25:00]and listen.

[25:02]Even when it's your enemy using the Quran to provoke you, Imam

[25:05]Ali Ali showed that much respect to the words of Allah.

[25:10]After Kawwa finished, Imam Ali replied to him in salah.

[25:16]He replied to him with a verse.

[25:20]Another verse Kawah verse 65.

[25:22]Im Ali Ali replied with verse with verse 60.

[25:28]Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala tells Allah be patient Allah for the promise

[25:39]of Allah will be true.

[25:44]And do not allow the ignorant ones who do not have iman

[25:49]and certainty.

[25:50]Do not allow them to provoke you and bother you and disturb

[25:53]you.

[25:54]So I im Ali replied to him in his salah with a

[25:59]verse of the Quran because as long as you're in salah, you're

[26:01]allowed to recite any verse in the Quran.

[26:04]Any verse in the Quran.

[26:06]But I im ali he showed his respect to the words of

[26:10]Allah subhana wa ta'ala that even when it's my enemy and he's

[26:15]using the Quran to disrespect me I'm going to stop and listen

[26:19]because these are not ordinary words they are the words of Allah

[26:29]subhanahu wa'ta'ala this is how powerful the Quran is my dear brothers

[26:33]and sisters so this is number one we show respect when we

[26:36]hear the Quran by listening to the Quran.

[26:40]Number two, a second reason Allah tells us that when you listen,

[26:47]when you hear the Quran, pay attention, listen and stay silent, is

[26:53]because the Quran has the power to transform your life if you

[27:02]listen to it appropriately.

[27:03]You see, we mentioned that the Quran is the words of Allah

[27:12]subhanahu wa ta'ala being spoken to us.

[27:14]And there are no words more powerful than the words of Allah.

[27:17]Can you think of any words or sentences that are more powerful

[27:22]powerful and effective than Allah's words?

[27:26]Absolutely not.

[27:28]Because he's the creator of everybody.

[27:32]So when Allah speaks his words have the maximum effectiveness and impact

[27:39]on us.

[27:40]This is when Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala speaks.

[27:44]The words of Allah have the potential to completely change and transform

[27:51]my character, my faith, my because this is Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

[27:57]When Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala speaks, these words reach parts of the

[28:05]heart that nothing else can reach.

[28:06]It's only through the words of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

[28:08]The Quran, the words of Allah, they speak to the deepest layers

[28:14]of our soul.

[28:15]And they uncover and reveal things that we didn't even know existed

[28:22]in our soul because the words of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala are

[28:26]very powerful, very effective.

[28:28]And this is what the call the transmor the transformative force of

[28:36]the Quran.

[28:38]The potency of the Quran.

[28:38]The Quran has a very very powerful potential force in changing people

[28:48]and affecting other individuals.

[28:49]And Allah mentions this in the Holy Quran.

[28:53]Allah shows us how powerful the words of Allah are, how much

[28:56]potential they have.

[28:59]He says in the Holy Quran, I believe it's he says, Allah

[29:16]says that if we were to bring down this Quran upon upon

[29:23]the mountains, if the Quran was addressing the mountains, not us human

[29:30]beings, the large powerful mighty mountains would crumble before the awe of

[29:39]Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

[29:39]They would crumble before the majesty of Allah.

[29:44]And this is how powerful the Quran is.

[29:48]When Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala reveals the Quran on anything, it comes

[29:54]down like thunder upon that mountain.

[29:58]It destroys it because it cannot take that powerful transformative force of

[30:04]the Quran.

[30:06]This is how Allah subhanana wa ta'ala describes the Quran.

[30:10]But the question is why is it that when I listen to

[30:15]the Quran, it doesn't affect me.

[30:17]How many verses of the Quran have I recited?

[30:21]How many verses of the Quran have I listened to?

[30:27]Hundreds, maybe thousands.

[30:29]If the Quran has the potential to make mountains crumble, what's wrong

[30:37]with me, the human being, that I listen to the Quran and

[30:40]it does not impact me at all?

[30:42]It makes absolutely no changes in my life.

[30:46]What's the problem?

[30:48]The problem, my dear brothers and sisters, is that the Quran is

[30:56]not entering my heart.

[30:59]For the words of Allah to affect you, impact you, and change

[31:04]you, they have to enter your heart, they have to penetrate your

[31:10]heart.

[31:09]And if they don't penetrate your heart, they're not going to affect

[31:15]you.

[31:15]It's like you have the most powerful painkiller.

[31:17]What's the most powerful painkiller you can think of?

[31:21]Vicodin.

[31:22]Is there something stronger than it?

[31:26]anything.

[31:28]Morphine, Xanax.

[31:30]No, that's not a painkiller.

[31:32]Whatever.

[31:32]Think of the most powerful painkiller, right?

[31:38]This has strong potency.

[31:39]This has potential to, you know, bring you relief from the most

[31:45]powerful pain.

[31:46]Imagine you take that pill and you just stare at it for

[31:50]a whole hour.

[31:52]What's going to happen?

[31:52]Nothing is going to happen.

[31:53]Your pain isn't going to go down.

[31:55]Imagine you take that pill and you put it in your mouth

[31:59]like gum, but you don't swallow it.

[32:04]You don't digest it.

[32:04]Will it bring you any relief?

[32:05]Will you benefit from this pill?

[32:08]Absolutely not.

[32:10]Why?

[32:11]In order for that pill, for that medicine to affect you, to

[32:16]bring you its full maximum potential, you have to digest it.

[32:22]It has to enter your stomach.

[32:24]In the same way, the holy Quran, the words of Allah that

[32:31]have this mighty power, this transfor transmorphitive, transformative force to change us,

[32:39]to affect us.

[32:39]In order for it to actually affect us, it has to enter

[32:44]your heart.

[32:43]If it doesn't enter your heart, it will fall on dead ears.

[32:48]So why do the verses of the Quran not enter our heart?

[32:54]Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala tells us why.

[32:57]He tells us because our hearts can be surrounded by barriers, brothers

[33:06]and sisters.

[33:09]Barriers that are self-imposed that we create.

[33:10]These barriers prevent the verses of Allah from penetrating your heart.

[33:17]If they reach your heart, they'll make a revolution in your heart.

[33:20]They'll change you.

[33:23]You'll become like you will change from the camp of Yazid to

[33:27]the camp of Hussein.

[33:29]It will change you from the worst person and it will elevate

[33:32]you to the rank of prophet.

[33:36]But it has to enter the heart.

[33:38]What happens is we create a barrier around our heart and Allah

[33:45]mentions this in the holy Quran.

[33:46]He says Allah says that many of us we have a layer

[33:59]a layer a barrier around our hearts that prevents the word of

[34:08]Allah from entering our heart.

[34:09]Allah gives the example of ran.

[34:12]Ran is like rust.

[34:12]There's a layer of rust around your heart.

[34:16]The words of Allah are trying to get inside your heart, but

[34:21]they can't because your heart is closed.

[34:26]There's a barrier.

[34:26]And that barrier, my dear brothers and sisters, is created by us

[34:32]through our sins.

[34:34]Do not take sins lightly, brothers and sisters.

[34:37]Some people have this attitude.

[34:39]I can sin today and I can repent tomorrow.

[34:42]I can repent a year from now, two years.

[34:45]But the problem with this mentality is you don't realize the damage

[34:49]that your sin does to your heart.

[34:52]Almak and mention this.

[34:55]They say when you sin, even if it's a small sin, it's

[34:59]not just me disobeying Allah.

[35:02]No, you're hurting yourself.

[35:03]It's exactly like when a doctor tells you even one puff of

[35:08]that cigarette is going to damage your heart.

[35:13]It's not about just disobeying Allah.

[35:15]you are harming yourself.

[35:17]Bakr say when we commit one sin there is a black dot

[35:25]that appears on our heart.

[35:25]Now this is probably meant in a metaphoric way not a literal

[35:32]black dot.

[35:31]He says if you repent quickly that dot will go away, be

[35:36]washed away.

[35:37]But if you commit a second, a third, a fourth, a fifth,

[35:39]a sixth sin, there'll be so many dots on your heart until

[35:45]the Imam says eventually your entire heart will be encapsulated and covered

[35:51]by your sins.

[35:50]The Imam says when that happens, nothing will penetrate your heart.

[36:00]No dua, no Quran, no, no admonition, no story, nothing will enter

[36:06]your heart because the sins are blocking everything from coming inside your

[36:13]heart.

[36:11]This is why the Quran doesn't affect us, brothers and sisters, many

[36:18]times.

[36:19]And that's why, subhan Allah, that's why there are times when you've

[36:25]read a verse 50 times, a hundred times, you've read it so

[36:30]many times, it's never affected you.

[36:31]But all of a sudden, one day you listen to this verse

[36:37]at a funeral or you recite this verse at midnight during the

[36:40]month of Ramadan or a speaker mentions this verse.

[36:45]You've heard it many times, but this time it strikes you much

[36:49]differently.

[36:50]It's as if you have heard it for the first time.

[36:55]It penetrates your heart and it shakes you and you're like, "Wow,

[36:59]unbelievable." It shakes you to your core.

[37:02]Why?

[37:03]You've heard it hundred times.

[37:04]Because those hundred times it was trying to find a way to

[37:09]your heart.

[37:07]It couldn't.

[37:09]It would bounce back.

[37:12]This time finally it found a crack in the wall.

[37:14]It found a very small hole.

[37:17]Alhamdulillah.

[37:19]Your heart wasn't 100% closed.

[37:21]It was 99.9% closed with your sins, trapped with your sins, but

[37:28]it was able to find that very small opening and it penetrated

[37:34]your heart.

[37:33]That's why you feel that inspiration from Allah subhanana wa ta'ala.

[37:37]There are some people that complain, why do we repeat these verses

[37:40]so many times?

[37:42]I've heard this verse.

[37:42]I've heard this surah.

[37:45]Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala tells us, "Recite the Quran as many times

[37:48]as you can.

[37:50]Listen to the Quran as many times as you can." Why?

[37:52]Because you never know when that verse will actually find an opening

[37:58]in your heart and penetrate.

[37:59]Because all you need in your life, brothers and sisters, is one

[38:02]verse to enter your heart and it will change you.

[38:05]Just one verse.

[38:07]You don't need the whole Quran.

[38:08]Why do we read the whole Quran?

[38:10]Because we don't know which VERSE IS GOING TO ENTER.

[38:14]One of them, two of them, none of them.

[38:16]Some people have to read the Quran 20 times in their lives

[38:19]until finally maybe it will penetrate their heart.

[38:22]There's a man by the name of he's considered amongst the he

[38:29]lived during the time of imm.

[38:34]They say he used to be a bandit, a highway robber.

[38:39]He would ambush people on the on the roads, caravans, and he

[38:43]would steal everything.

[38:45]Terrible man, farthest from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

[38:51]They say one day as he was robbing a house, he was

[38:55]climbing the wall so he can rob the house.

[38:59]The window was opened and he heard someone from inside the house

[39:04]reciting Quran.

[39:06]He heard this verse.

[39:08]Allah mentions it inah.

[39:19]Isn't it time?

[39:21]Allah says, "Isn't it time for those that believe, they claim to

[39:25]be believers, isn't it time that they turn to Allah and submit

[39:31]to Allah to the remembrance of Allahel?

[39:34]Isn't it time?

[39:35]How much longer do I want to wait?

[39:40]How much more am I going to anticipate to live?

[39:41]How much hope I'm going to give myself that no, it's too

[39:45]soon.

[39:46]I still will live longer, inshallah, next year." The Quran says, "Isn't

[39:50]it time?

[39:51]You've been saying next year for 10 years.

[39:54]It's time.

[39:52]Turn to Allah.

[39:55]Repent to Allahawel." They say, "This man aloud, he had listened.

[40:00]He had heard this verse many times in his life.

[40:04]But this time it was different.

[40:06]It was like thunder on his heart.

[40:08]It penetrated his heart.

[40:12]So he was robbing the house.

[40:15]He quickly stopped.

[40:14]He stopped and he said, "You know what?

[40:19]It is time for me to repent to Allah." Just one verse.

[40:24]He came down.

[40:24]They say he left and he went inside an abandoned house and

[40:30]he turned to Allahel.

[40:30]That verse was ringing in his ears.

[40:33]That that that verse was moving left and right in his heart.

[40:39]He turned to Allah and he said, "Ya Allah, I've spent too

[40:44]much of my life far away from you.

[40:47]I've disobeyed you for too long.

[40:48]It's time that I return to you.

[40:50]It's time that I change.

[40:53]Ya Allah, grant me the ability to repent to you." And they

[40:56]say he completely changed after that day.

[40:58]What did he do?

[41:00]He left the city.

[41:00]He moved to Mecca and he started living right next to the

[41:06]Kaa.

[41:06]Every day he would go and pray for hours and hours right

[41:08]by the Kaa.

[41:10]He would ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala for forgiveness right by thea.

[41:15]He became a worshipper.

[41:16]And it didn't stop there.

[41:19]Then he decided to what?

[41:20]To seek knowledge.

[41:22]He's like now that I've transformed let me also seek knowledge.

[41:26]Let me become a scholar.

[41:27]So he began attending the classes of Aladdin and he began to

[41:37]elevate and grow until he himself became a scholar and many of

[41:42]our scholars believe that he was aim and he is deemed amongst

[41:49]the trustworthy narrators of imam.

[41:51]When you read his background, his early life, you won't believe how

[41:57]he transformed.

[41:57]But what sparked the transformation, brothers and sisters?

[42:01]It was one verse.

[42:02]And it wasn't because this verse is special.

[42:07]Every verse in the Quran is special.

[42:10]It was because this verse found its way to this man's heart

[42:16]and it penetrated it and it changed him.

[42:19]And every verse of the Quran can do that to us brothers

[42:21]and sisters.

[42:23]But because we don't know which verse will change me, when is

[42:27]it that there will be a small opening in my heart and

[42:31]that verse can penetrate my heart and change me?

[42:36]Allah says always listen to the Quran.

[42:37]Always listen because you never know.

[42:40]It's worth it.

[42:39]Even if you spent 50 years listening to the Quran so that

[42:45]you wait for that one second that that verse enters your heart

[42:48]wall it's worth it because that verse will change everything in your

[42:53]life.

[42:54]This is how powerful the Quran is.

[42:56]The transform the transformative force of the Quran is able to change

[43:00]anyone brothers and sisters.

[43:04]It just has to find its way to the heart.

[43:06]So number one the Quran says When the Quran is recited, when

[43:18]you listen to the Quran, stay silent and and listen to the

[43:20]Quran.

[43:21]We said number one, show respect to the words of Allah.

[43:23]Number two, because you don't know when that verse may enter your

[43:31]heart and spark that transformation in your life.

[43:38]And finally, number three, and I'll be done, brothers and sisters.

[43:44]Number three, the third reason why when the Quran is being recited,

[43:48]we listen, is because theam tell us that Allah rewards you just

[43:57]for listening to the Quran.

[43:58]You know when you recite the Quran, when you read the Quran,

[44:03]Allah gives you a but that requires a little bit a little

[44:06]bit of effort.

[44:07]You have to open the Quran and you have to read.

[44:13]And in the month of Ramadan, Allah said, "Whoever, if you read

[44:23]one verse in the month of Ramadan, Allah gives you the of

[44:27]reciting the entire Quran, over 6,000 verses, just one verse.

[44:33]Allah gave me the of the entire Quran.

[44:35]Alhamdulillah.

[44:37]He gave me the of reciting the Quran twice.

[44:39]Now this is with reciting to the Quran.

[44:42]But for someone like me who's too busy, who's too lazy, even

[44:48]reciting Quran is too difficult.

[44:50]Allah sallallah.aii wasallam says you're too busy, you're too lazy, you don't

[44:56]know how to read.

[44:56]Allah says listen to the Quran and Allah will give you that

[45:03]same.

[45:00]The hadith of Allah says You don't have to necessarily read.

[45:10]Reading is good.

[45:13]But if that's difficult, listen.

[45:13]And listen is not hearing.

[45:16]You know, you're actually focused.

[45:17]Pay attention every day.

[45:20]10 minutes in the month of Ramadan.

[45:22]15 minutes.

[45:21]Turn on YouTube and listen to the Quran.

[45:24]But listen to it attentively.

[45:26]Not just with your ears, but with your mind and with your

[45:30]body and your soul.

[45:30]And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala gives you that great.

[45:35]And I im says, "The one who listens, the one who listens

[45:40]to the Quran, Allah will give him for every word, for every

[45:48]letter that you listen, he will give you a and he will

[45:50]erase.

[45:50]He will erase a sin and he will elevate your status one

[45:56]degree.

[45:54]For every letter, how many letters are there in the Quran, brothers

[45:59]and sisters?

[45:59]And you're not reciting.

[46:02]You're only listening.

[46:02]Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala gives you that and that's why we come

[46:06]back to that point.

[46:08]How easy has Allah made religion?

[46:10]Brothers and sisters, I am so surprised.

[46:12]I mentioned this the other day and I'll mention it again and

[46:15]again and again.

[46:17]How is it that some of us feel it is difficult to

[46:18]please our Lord?

[46:20]When Allah says in the month of Ramadan, just listen to my

[46:23]words and I'll give you an unbelievable.

[46:26]Just breathe you get sleep you get anything you do you get

[46:33]have this is the mercy of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and that's

[46:40]why my dear brothers and sisters if you have the Quran to

[46:43]listen to accompanied with the duas of the where the prophet said

[46:52]I am leaving two heavy elements the Quran and my family If

[46:57]you have the Quran to listen to and duas to listen to

[47:02]in the month of Ramadan, this will give you the most beautiful

[47:07]recipe for creating a real living relationship with Allahel.

[47:13]You speak to Allah through dua Abu Hamali through dua through dua

[47:21]this beautiful dua of and then you listen to what Allah has

[47:28]to tell you when you listen to the holy Quran and tonight

[47:33]is it's a night that is dedicated for dua any but Thursday

[47:38]night of the month of Ramadan has even more blessings things.

[47:43]And one of the most beautiful duas that we read tonight is

[47:49]dua.

[47:51]It's a dua that revolves around speaking to Allah, asking him for

[47:59]our you begin the first passage of dua.

[48:04]Ya Allah, I ask you in the name of your mercy and

[48:08]then you go to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

[48:11]You confess, you ask him for forgiveness.

[48:13]You ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to always be in your life.

[48:21]It's such a beautiful dua.

[48:22]Imagine what dua combined with the Quran im Ali and the words

[48:26]of Allah subhana wa ta'ala during together.

[48:29]Imagine what they can do to us.

[48:31]So my dear brothers and sisters, let us turn our hearts to

[48:37]Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and let us focus our minds to the

[48:39]beautiful words of Ali as we listen to dua from our dear

[48:46]brother.

[48:49]I ask him to come inshallah to recite dua inshallah.

[48:55]Alhamdulillah.
