[0:00][Music] [Music] ald muhamad m [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] brothers and [Music]

[1:11]sisters first of all before I begin I would like to congratulate

[1:18]everyone on this auspicious occasion the beginning of the holiest month out

[1:24]of the year that is the month of Ramadan the month of

[1:31]worship worship the month of Allah subhanahu wa taala and the month

[1:37]that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has given us the greatest opportunity to

[1:41]seek nearness to him so I congratulate all of you and I

[1:47]ask Allah subhanahu waala to give us all the strength the to

[1:52]that we are able to fast during these blessed 293 days accumulates

[1:58]a few good deeds and I I ask Allah subhana tala to

[2:04]accept our and to forgive us of all our sins if we

[2:10]were to analyze the history of the successful human beings that walked

[2:19]on this earth and the unsuccessful human beings or in other words

[2:27]the failures and if we were to compare between these two the

[2:31]successful and the unsuccessful we would find many interesting and noticeable differences

[2:42]between them but amongst the major differences between those that were successful

[2:47]in this world and those that weren't successful that failed now whether

[2:54]it may be economic success financial success educational success political success social

[3:02]success any form of success you find that a major difference between

[3:12]between the successful and the unsuccessful is that the history of the

[3:15]successful human beings is a history of seized opportunities while the history

[3:22]of those that failed is a history of wasted opportunities and you

[3:33]find this evidence across everyone you see in society there are those

[3:39]that do not waste opportunities there are those that seize every opportunity

[3:44]that they can find they never delay they never procrastinate you may

[3:49]find him he's a businessman he never wastes any opportunity to buy

[3:53]a piece of L to strike a deal to make profit from

[3:58]here or there and then you'll find some other person no who's

[4:01]much more lazy you'll find some person who wastes time who delays

[4:05]who for example Waits a week until he makes his decision and

[4:12]then it's too late he wasted that opportunity and that's why he's

[4:16]a failure or for example you find some people when they pursue

[4:19]a career and they study in the University some they know exactly

[4:25]what they want to do from the beginning they have a they

[4:27]have a strategy they have a plot they have a plan they

[4:32]know exactly I'm going to study two years this four years this

[4:35]get my masters get my PhD and then work there and they

[4:40]don't hesitate they don't waste time and going after their goal while

[4:43]we find other people they don't know what they want to do

[4:48]two years they study one field and then they change their uh

[4:50]their their field and then they change again and then they go

[4:52]back to what they wanted to study in the in the first

[4:56]place you see them 15 years they're studying they're nowhere I personally

[5:00]know a friend who studied probably 15 years University he had like

[5:06]four Masters and nothing why because he had no strategy because he

[5:13]had no plan he don't know what he he didn't know what's

[5:15]he doing so you find those people that success they get to

[5:21]the point they don't waste any opportunity they know what they're doing

[5:24]they have a plan and they seize every opportunity in order to

[5:27]do that and you like like I said every human being can

[5:32]find this true in his life how many people here sitting here

[5:35]can say I wish I would have done that I wish I

[5:40]would have done this I wish I would have not wasted that

[5:44]opportunity I wish I would have studied this instead of my fi

[5:47]I wish I would have made that transaction we delayed we procrastinated

[5:51]and we were left with nothing but remorse and guilt and regret

[5:55]at the end of the day so this is what differentiates between

[6:01]the successful and those that are not successful seizing the opportunities and

[6:07]that's why it is very important brothers and sisters that we take

[6:12]advantage of every opportunity that we have in every field but especially

[6:18]with our relationship with Allah subhanahu wa taala we should be extra

[6:22]cautious we should be extra careful and not wasting any opportunity that

[6:29]the of says if anyone sees that Allah subhah waala has given

[6:47]him an opening has given him an opportunity has given him time

[6:53]to do something good then that person should not hesitate that person

[6:58]should not waste a single minute because sooner or later this opportunity

[7:01]will go away and like I said I'll be regretful I delay

[7:06]and delay until it's gone so it's especially important that I seize

[7:11]these opportunities Allah subhana wa taala has given me with my relationship

[7:15]with Allah subhanahu wa taala and I don't delay and that's why

[7:17]you find you ask many people many brother and sister especially the

[7:20]young ones sister why don't you are hijab brother sister when will

[7:26]you start praying brother sister when will you go to Haj when

[7:29]will you repent to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala later 5 years 10

[7:35]years 20 years 30 years why procrastinates Allah has G if Allah

[7:39]subh has given me the opportunity to do something good do it

[7:44]right away don't waste the single second and this is the attitude

[7:51]that Islam teaches us brothers and sisters find some people in their

[7:55]lives they're so relaxed oh I'm so young I have a long

[7:57]life ahead of me what's the rush they feel absolutely no rush

[8:01]who cares in 20 years I'll go to Haj no when I'm

[8:06]50 years old I'll wear the hijab why now there's no rush

[8:08]but when you find when you come to Islam you find a

[8:12]completely different mentality Islam is always rushing us do it now don't

[8:16]do it later don't waste don't procrastinate don't delay Allah subhanahu waala

[8:21]says in the Holy Quran he says run rush towards the mercy

[8:29]of Allah subhah waala and towards don't waste your time you can't

[8:38]go slowly and and you know take taking your time Allah subhana

[8:49]tells us you have to rush and another Hadith we read that

[8:52]the Hadith the IM says if a person's yesterday was equal to

[9:02]today then that person has lost before that the Imam he says

[9:11]if yesterday was better than today then I'm miserable if yesterday was

[9:16]better than today then that's miserable I'm going completely the wrong way

[9:21]but if yesterday was equal than today I still have lost because

[9:24]I gain nothing as a Muslim I have to always progress yesterday

[9:28]today is better than yesterday tomorrow is better than today that's the

[9:32]only way I will progress or else we'll never progress we'll always

[9:37]stay at the same level and another Hadith the IM says he

[9:41]speaks about the qualities of a he says a quality of a

[9:51]m is not a m is not that person who's always relaxed

[9:56]and you find him always has nothing to do you see some

[9:58]people they're always bored they always don't know what to do they

[10:01]always want to kill time this is not a quality of a

[10:04]m a m is a person who never has time he works

[10:10]so hard that he brings pressure upon himself he overwhelms and burdens

[10:15]himself because of how much he tries to please Allah subhah wa

[10:21]tala he has no time to lose and there are some people

[10:23]brothers and sisters that you find especially some you find that's true

[10:27]their entire lives you find they don't have a single moment to

[10:33]sit and relax they're always late they're always rushing they're always overwhelmed

[10:38]this is a quality of a m not someone that just relaxes

[10:41]it's not Haram to relax but if I'm a true M and

[10:46]I I'm a wise M and I know that I have a

[10:49]goal in this short life I will understand I have no time

[10:54]to waste and thus I must always be on alert and I

[10:57]must always be working diligently now you might ask what's the rush

[11:05]why why shouldn't I you know take everything easy and wait and

[11:08]wait and procrastinate first of all brothers and sisters before I mention

[11:13]the reasons we have to understand that the most precious gift that

[11:19]Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala gave us is what if I were to

[11:24]ask you what's the most precious gift Allah subhana wa ta'ala gave

[11:27]you yes you want to answer brother the brother is saying yes

[11:36]this is very precious but however there is something brothers and sisters

[11:45]that is more precious then will in what sense will obviously is

[11:51]the greatest thing but there's something more precious then will IIT for

[11:55]me as a m why because it's through that thing that I'm

[12:02]able to attain without this I can never have without this I

[12:05]can never please Allah without this I can never achieve Jen what

[12:10]is that thing time time that Allah subhana tala gave us brothers

[12:16]and sisters is the most precious thing Allah if Allah doesn't give

[12:19]you any time how can you be a follow ofit so all

[12:24]the precious gifts like like pleasing Allah subhana wa tala like going

[12:28]to heaven this is all d through time if Allah doesn't give

[12:33]us time in this we can't do anything so time is the

[12:36]most precious gift and that's why in one Hadith it's narrated that

[12:39]he tells AB His companion he tells him the prophet tells Abu

[12:52]you have to be more greedy about your time about your life

[12:56]than you are with your money some people they're very greedy with

[13:01]with their money $1 is wasted it's the biggest deal if money

[13:05]is wasted if he doesn't make a profit it's the biggest deal

[13:08]some people brothers and sisters they have heart attacks they die over

[13:12]money you're supposed to use money to what for your time to

[13:19]make your time valuable not lose your time because of money I

[13:25]remember a few maybe two three years ago I was in one

[13:27]of the Muslim countries and I saw they had put a a

[13:32]picture of a deceased person and he wasn't very old he was

[13:34]about 50 years old and he was a businessman and I asked

[13:39]some people in the neighborhood why this person died and they told

[13:46]me because this person he was a businessman and something the economy

[13:50]went bad he began losing losing losing until he could no longer

[13:53]barar it he had a heart attack because of all the stress

[13:56]all the anger the frustration and he died over what over his

[14:04]will the holy prophet s he says be more greedy about your

[14:09]time don't waste your time usually usually you don't find people wasting

[14:13]their money no they are very careful with every dollar that they

[14:16]spend is it worth it is it not worth it but with

[14:21]their time they never think is this hour worth it to do

[14:23]this or not I want to sit and watch a 2hour movie

[14:25]is it worth my time or not why why don't they care

[14:31]because they don't understand the value of time if you don't understand

[14:35]the value of something obviously you will not respect it you'll not

[14:39]value it if I bring you a diamond you think it's a

[14:43]it's a rock it's just a nice rock you're not going to

[14:45]Value it you know probably just put it in your closet that's

[14:49]it if we don't understand the value of something we will not

[14:53]value we not we won't appreciate it we won't take care of

[14:58]it we won't be careful with it time brothers and sisters is

[15:02]something that most human beings are not aware of its precious being

[15:05]they're not aware of its precious state of its value and its

[15:09]importance so why we have to always hurry and make sure we

[15:14]don't waste time number one brothers and sisters is because time is

[15:19]indispensable it's Irreplaceable you cannot replace time brothers and sisters let's say

[15:27]I am 25 years old and I spend this entire or my

[15:29]25th year I waste it Wast it after my desires when I

[15:34]turn 26 let's say I regret it is there any way I

[15:38]could go back in time and change what happened in my 25th

[15:43]year never it's impossible it never happened for anyone through from the

[15:49]beginning of Adam till this day even prophets Allah subhanahu wa taala

[15:55]didn't give them the chance to go back in time no one

[15:57]has the chance to go back in time one once your 25th

[16:00]year is gone it's gone once my 30th year it's gone it's

[16:03]gone my 40th it can never be replaced so that's why I

[16:09]am dealing with a very hazardous delicate material here brothers and sisters

[16:15]substance time be careful when this minute goes It goes it's never

[16:20]going to go back if my youth goes I waste it it's

[16:25]not going to come back even if I regret it even if

[16:30]my mentality changes even if if my My Views change that's it

[16:32]it's gone it's gone there's no way it's going to come back

[16:35]there there's a very famous line of poetry in Arab in Arabic

[16:39]that most of you that know Arabic have have memorized that says

[16:49]an author a a poet he he writes a poem and he

[16:54]says I wish and the word later in the Arabic language is

[16:59]used for wishing something that's impossible something that will not happen and

[17:06]it's called is wishing something that's impossible I wish for example that

[17:11]I could you know for example reach the moon with my hands

[17:15]from the from Earth or I wish I could go back in

[17:20]time or I wish or I wish things that are not possible

[17:24]so time brothers and sisters once it goes that's it it's never

[17:27]going to come back so that's why we have have to be

[17:31]very careful and think before I spend an hour or two on

[17:33]this or that is it worth it or is it not worth

[17:37]it that's number one number two why we have to be extra

[17:39]careful with this time that Allah has given us in this world

[17:45]is because these hours and nights and days and years that Allah

[17:48]has given us in this dun are what will dictate my eternal

[17:55]future my eternal future and the Hereafter is decided based on on

[18:00]what based on how I spend my time here so we have

[18:04]to be very careful brothers and sisters it's only 70 years but

[18:08]it will decide your Eternal fate 70 years if you live 70

[18:14]years this will decide billions upon billions upon trillions upon trillions of

[18:19]years it's only 70 years but look at how important it is

[18:22]everything we do in this D it will echo in The Eternity

[18:27]it will we will see it it will decide our future for

[18:32]forever forever so that's why I have to be careful the hour

[18:35]I spend here I have to make sure that it's worthy I

[18:41]have to make sure that I will benefit from it in this

[18:43]Dunya some people they spend 8 hours a day working for what

[18:48]for a paycheck that finishes in 5 days in one day in

[18:51]one month the time that we spend for our is eternal never

[18:56]goes away brothers and sisters we have to be careful so sometimes

[19:00]a small mistake I waste 5 minutes of my time in this

[19:05]Dunya this will have an eternal effect because if I could have

[19:07]done a good deed that I would have benefited from in those

[19:13]5 minutes for forever but I wasted it smallest smallest mistake could

[19:17]have the largest effect because it's Eternal and that's why if you

[19:23]take a piece of paper and you draw two parallel lines as

[19:29]you know those lines will they ever cross will they ever get

[19:33]closer to each other never if they're perfectly parallel like this they'll

[19:37]never meet but what if you skew or you move the direction

[19:44]of one of the lines for example not a centimeter you move

[19:54]it 0 500 zeros and then put a one M millim if

[19:58]you move it that much now it will look parallel but only

[20:06]for a while after 1 km 10 km 10,000 km obviously the

[20:10]Gap is going to widen so can you imagine after millions of

[20:16]years how big that Gap is you think it's a small mistake

[20:18]but over time you see that the result that the negative consequences

[20:23]and ramifications are so great so that's why I have to be

[20:30]extra careful and that's why there is a question that's posed there

[20:34]is a topic that's always debated and that's why does Allah subhanahu

[20:40]wa taala punish some people eternally for a sin that they did

[20:44]that was limited he committed a sin that took 5 minutes long

[20:47]why does Allah put him in hell for forever some people Allah

[20:53]speaks about not in the Holy Quran they will dwell in the

[20:55]fires of hell for forever for example if I purposely kill a

[21:01]murder him Allah says the Jaz the consequence of that the punishment

[21:04]is Allah will put me in the fires of hell for forever

[21:08]unless I Repent obviously if I don't repent now why I did

[21:13]a limited act a limited sin why is the consequence why is

[21:17]the punishment unlimited now there's many answers I don't want to get

[21:22]into that but one answer that the they pose is they say

[21:24]yes what you did that sin was limited but the negative effects

[21:30]of that are unlimited let's say I kill someone did I not

[21:33]deprive that person of children let's say he wasn't married did I

[21:36]not deprive him of grandchildren he could have had grandchildren from now

[21:40]till 20,000 years his grandchildren every deed if he was a good

[21:47]person and he raised good kids all the good deeds of his

[21:49]kids he will benefit from after he dies of his grandchildren and

[21:54]so on and so forth so you find it's a limited sin

[21:56]and action but it can have unlimited consequences and that's why the

[22:00]punishment will be unlimited that person was 20 years old I killed

[22:05]him he could have lived 70 those 50 years he could have

[22:07]done so many good deeds and those good deeds he would have

[22:12]benefited For Eternity for forever so I deprived him of Eternal deeds

[22:16]and that's why the punishment will be Eternal so this is number

[22:20]two this is why we have to be extra careful these hours

[22:24]these days and nights that we live in this D brothers and

[22:27]sisters they're very important they are what will decide how my life

[22:34]will be and the Hereafter number three why it's very important is

[22:38]because we don't know when it's going to end brothers and sisters

[22:41]who knows when life will end who knows when death will come

[22:45]so when I haven't been guaranteed that I will live 70 80

[22:52]years and I can die any minute any second obviously it becomes

[22:56]more important for me to take a advantage of every opportunity yesterday

[23:02]I was when I was in the plane there was a young

[23:07]there was a young man a Muslim man he was sitting next

[23:10]to me so when they brought the drinks he told the flight

[23:17]attendant I want some alcohol he took the alcohol before he uh

[23:22]wanted to drink I said let me give a try I'll give

[23:26]him some advice even though I was pretty sure he not going

[23:30]to listen he was he wasn't a practicing Muslim but I said

[23:33]let me give it a try so oh so he began he

[23:40]told me you don't you don't drink I I he said I

[23:42]guess you don't drink I told him no I don't drink told

[23:46]them my religion and your religion both our religion says that we're

[23:51]not allowed to drink so he said yeah you know what I

[23:55]don't believe everything you know in religion I told him do you

[23:58]believe in the Quran he says yeah the Quran I believe I

[24:02]guess I believe in it I told him do you not know

[24:03]that the Quran says it's Haram to drink he says yeah but

[24:08]he didn't want to say I don't care that's very rude he

[24:13]was trying to say it in a more proper manner that I

[24:15]don't care about Allah I don't care about whatever so I told

[24:20]him look if I tell if you were told that you're going

[24:25]to die in a few hours will you still drink that alcohol

[24:29]he started thinking for a couple of seconds he told me I

[24:36]don't think so he told him why you don't believe he says

[24:39]because if I'm going to die in a few hours it's not

[24:43]worth wasting my last couple hours drinking alcohol when I know death

[24:47]is close I don't want to spend my last hours drinking alcohol

[24:52]I told them what will you do so that probably I'll turn

[24:55]to Allah subhana and repent Subhan Allah you see brothers and sisters

[24:59]I told him has Allah given you a guarantee that you won't

[25:04]die tomorrow or in a few hours I don't want to scare

[25:08]you I told him but this plane could easily fall brother you

[25:10]saw in the news this past year 5 10 planes and every

[25:15]time subh Allah I ride for the last year I ride the

[25:19]plane and there's turbulence right away I began begin to read the

[25:22]Shah it's as if my my final moments with all these you

[25:27]know planes that have been falling recently so I told him has

[25:31]Allah subhana given you a guarantee that you won't die tomorrow he

[25:34]started just looking at the alcohol he told me you know what

[25:40]this is the last alcohol I'll drink and after this I'll start

[25:43]listening to you I told him no no you won't listen when

[25:48]you say after the procrastination delay tomorrow Tomorrow Never Comes as they

[25:52]say if you want to do something do it now don't say

[25:53]this is the last time just one more shot just one more

[25:57]whatever do it now because after you drink this alcohol you're going

[26:01]to be at the same point you were before drinking it you're

[26:05]going to want one more and more and more and more this

[26:07]desire that I have is never Fed Up the only thing brothers

[26:12]and sisters that satisfies my desire and that puts me at ease

[26:16]and rest is what is the grave that's the only day they

[26:22]will write on My Grave rest in peace though before that before

[26:25]I'm placed in my grave I never rest I always chase after

[26:29]my desires the desire wants more and more and more it's like

[26:32]giving putting fuel you know on on the fire it's not going

[26:34]to solve the problem it's going to make the problem worse the

[26:38]only time the human being settles is when he's plays in his

[26:41]great so I can't say one more because if I say one

[26:45]more I'm going to say one more after that because it's still

[26:48]one more the word one more still applies so what's the difference

[26:54]between before and after there's no difference anyway so this life Allah

[26:58]has given us brothers and sisters it's not guaranteed I could go

[27:04]any I could leave this depart this Dunya any second so that's

[27:07]why I have to take advantage of every opportunity don't say tomorrow

[27:10]don't say next week don't say next month next month may never

[27:16]come or maybe it will come but you will not be able

[27:20]to do good deeds maybe you will not have the to you'll

[27:23]not have the opportunity anymore so that's why I have to take

[27:27]advantage of every opportunity this is number three the third reason why

[27:35]we have to be very very careful with time and we shouldn't

[27:38]waste any time and number four is because brothers and sisters we

[27:44]are very needy of Good Deeds we need our time every single

[27:48]second of it to build our brothers and sisters no one gives

[27:52]anything free in this in this dun you have to work for

[27:56]it in the we we can't expect to get anything free we

[28:01]also have to work for it so if I don't work for

[28:05]my I don't do good deeds how can I expect to go

[28:06]there and enjoy my I'll be a homeless I mean the least

[28:11]thing Allah you know will do to me he won't to take

[28:12]me to Hell Allah will just put me in in in rubbles

[28:17]in an empty field says okay live here a homeless man I

[28:21]tell him why he say you didn't do anything to you didn't

[28:23]build any Mansions you didn't build any houses you didn't do anything

[28:27]you spent your entire life building your your D you build your

[28:30]this is the least Allah can do is that what he gives

[28:35]you nothing he just leaves you as a homeless person on the

[28:37]day of judgment we are in need brothers and sisters of every

[28:41]good deed that we can accumulate we're needy we're poor people brothers

[28:46]and sisters Allah subhana says in the Holy Quran you need Allah

[28:52]subh you need his grace and mercy so do something to deserve

[28:55]it do a few good deeds and this D there's a story

[29:02]of one of our by the name one of our greatest that

[29:09]lived about maybe 200 years ago and the story of this Alam

[29:16]is narrated by his son he had a son and they lived

[29:20]in the city of a and every day she he would wake

[29:24]up in the middle of the night when everyone's sleeping and he

[29:27]would go to the Haram of IM the beautiful Shrine of IM

[29:33]Ali if anyone of you has had the honor to go and

[29:35]visit IM Ali it's an experience that's remarkable outstanding it cannot be

[29:40]described by words so he would go there every night and he

[29:45]would take his son his son was old he was probably in

[29:46]his late 20s and he would go and pray Sal there he

[29:53]would pray Sal and he would read Quran and basically just do

[29:58]good deeds so his son says that one day my father woke

[30:05]up he woke me up he says I was very tired I

[30:08]couldn't get up but he said out of respect for my father

[30:12]I didn't want him to go by himself he says I got

[30:18]up and I went with him as we were entering the the

[30:21]uh the gates of the the shrine of IM Ali he says

[30:26]we saw a beggar this this is probably 2:00 a.m.

[30:30]3:00 a.m.

[30:32]everyone's sleeping this beggar is sitting by the shrine by the door

[30:35]and he has his hands out and he's begging so he says

[30:41]we want we prayed we did some good deeds maybe an hour

[30:46]or 2 hours after that we came out we saw that poor

[30:48]person that poor man is still in that same condition His Hands

[30:55]Extended outward and he's begging people for some help he says my

[30:59]father he said such beautiful words to me this he told me

[31:04]Subhan Allah look at this beggar in the middle of the night

[31:07]he has deprived himself from the comfort of sleep he's not sleeping

[31:15]he's awake all night he's begging he's begging in a way which

[31:18]is obviously humiliating it's humiliating for a person to beg and how

[31:23]much is he going to make at the end of the day

[31:27]but anyway he's going to make thousands of of dollars millions of

[31:29]dollars no A din or half a din 10 20 30 bucks

[31:34]maximum he's going to make not nothing more he tells him Subhan

[31:39]Allah look at this beggar he deprives himself from sleep he humiliates

[31:43]himself he goes and begs for all these hours so that he

[31:45]can make 10 20 $30 while Allah subhanahu wa taala he tells

[31:51]us come pray Sal during the middle of the night to read

[31:53]some Quran and the reward that Allah has promised for this is

[32:00]unimaginable that the Holy Quran says about it says no soul knows

[32:16]the Quran says how great the reward that awaits them for their

[32:20]good deeds and according to theith this is about Sal it's unimaginable

[32:25]how much great the reward brothers and sisters is for praying Salat

[32:29]today that Allah cannot describe it because we won't comprehend it we

[32:35]won't understand it nobody knows we can't comprehend it so this he

[32:40]tells his son look at this beggar he leaves all that great

[32:45]reward which you're preserving your honor by doing that and it's guaranteed

[32:53]if you pray it it's guaranteed and it's unimaginable he leaves all

[32:58]of that and he comes in begs for 105 $20 which is

[33:01]not guaranteed some days he won't make it Subhan Allah where are

[33:06]our standards he leaves that great reward for such a small reward

[33:12]in this D brothers and sisters we are in need on the

[33:16]day of judgment we need every single Good Deed that we can

[33:21]accumulate and that's why we shouldn't waste any second of Our Lives

[33:25]brothers and sisters look at the lives of our so many great

[33:36]they did not waste a single second of their lives the only

[33:41]day they would stop teaching is the day they died there's no

[33:44]retirement for them why retire from what we have no time to

[33:47]waste they never retired the day they die is the day they're

[33:54]class finishes 90 100 years they live up to 100 years and

[33:58]they spend all those years teaching that's why thei says seek knowledge

[34:05]from the Cradle to the Grave there is no retirement in this

[34:07]D if I say I'm retired that means I have achieved my

[34:11]goal that means that's it I'm said there's no person that can

[34:14]say that that's it those good deeds are enough for me there's

[34:17]never enough Good Deeds for me I always have to accumulate more

[34:20]that's why you find they would not waste a single minute of

[34:25]their life you see some of them they live 40 50 years

[34:27]but they achieved so much that you would think they lived 100

[34:33]years you would think 10 people have to spend time in order

[34:36]to publish these books and in order to you know understand all

[34:43]these theories and give these theories and and and leave this great

[34:46]legacy but why was it it's because they did not waste a

[34:49]single moment of their life they spent it all for Allah subhana

[34:55]wa ta'ala all for seeking knowledge and you find they left such

[34:59]a great legacy so we have to seize brothers and sisters every

[35:03]opportunity that we can and when is a greater opportunity than the

[35:10]month of Ramadan the greatest month in the year brothers and sisters

[35:14]Allah subhanahu wa taala has chosen the month of Ramadan to be

[35:21]the best month out of the year and according to our Ramadan

[35:24]is one of the names of Allah subhanahu waala and that's why

[35:29]the Hadith says do not say Ramadan I will fast in Ramadan

[35:32]I will do this in Ramadan because you're saying in God say

[35:35]Ramadan the month of Ramadan the month of God it's the greatest

[35:41]month out of the year that he sums it up in onei

[35:47]he [Music] says what a beautiful summary of Ramadan what is Ramadan

[35:56]cu the beginning of it is mer Mercy the middle of it

[36:01]is forgiveness the end of it Allah subhana will answer our Dua

[36:04]and he will free us from the fires of hell that's everything

[36:07]we can ask for it's all in Ramadan and that's why we

[36:12]have to seize every single minute of it the says the doors

[36:20]of Heaven are opened the doors of hell are closed that means

[36:23]Allah doesn't want to punish people in this one Allah wants to

[36:28]for forgive people in this month let's put hell aside for now

[36:32]and the Hadith says that the hands of the Devils of aan

[36:38]they're all tied up Allah subhah wa taala wants us to accumulate

[36:40]Good Deeds he doesn't want us to commit sins he's trying to

[36:45]help us let's take the let's take the Devils away but hell

[36:48]away the doors of Heaven are opened it's the month of Mercy

[36:52]it's the month of forgiveness and that's why the Hadith of the

[36:56]Prophet says [Music] brothers and sisters the prophet says that you truly

[37:07]have to be miserable if you did not attain the mercy of

[37:11]Allah during Ramadan what did you do how evil were you that

[37:14]Allah was giving out unconditional Mercy but you did not achieve any

[37:18]of Allah's Mercy why what did you do how evil were you

[37:23]Allah is giving out Mercy I have to just take there's someone

[37:25]sitting in the corner giving out money and I don't go to

[37:30]take can I blame that person or I blame myself why didn't

[37:32]you extend your hand Allah is giving out Mercy during this month

[37:36]but I have to go and collect and I collect through spend

[37:41]this month through I spend it in worship I spend it in

[37:44]supplication reciting Quran brothers and sisters this is the month of quranquran

[37:50]this is the spring of Quran at least read one page a

[37:55]day many people they recite the entire Quran during the month of

[37:58]Ramadan once twice I know some people five times 10 times if

[38:02]you can't do that read one page of the Quran at least

[38:04]every day because Allah subh according to theith for every verse that

[38:07]you read in Ramadan from the Quran he gives you the equivalent

[38:13]of the entire Quran in any other one so don't waste brothers

[38:16]and sisters there's so much extra credit bonus given in this month

[38:20]let's not waste this month if I can the beautiful du recite

[38:28]a few prayers anything any good deeds that you can this is

[38:32]the month to start and I start from today from tonight already

[38:35]the first day of Ramadan has finished so let's try to seize

[38:41]every minute of the month of Ramadan so that we seek nearness

[38:44]to Allah subhana tala unfortunately in some countries in some especially Muslim

[38:49]countries Ramadan is not the month of Mery Ramadan is the month

[38:52]of watching soap operas as they say Ramadan is the month of

[38:57]eating people gain weights in some Muslim countries in Ramadan they're fasting

[39:00]because in those 6 7 10 hours of nights they eat five

[39:05]times as much as they do during a normal day this is

[39:08]not Ramadan brothers and sisters this is a materialistic Ramadan Ramadan is

[39:14]the month Ramadan is the month of Allah subhah waala this is

[39:17]where I connect with Allah some Muslim countries it's the month of

[39:21]shopping it's the month of just hanging out and chilling and having

[39:23]fun and shisha and just wasting time this is not Ramadan brothers

[39:30]and sisters Ramadan is the month that I take advantage of and

[39:34]I'll end my lecture brothers and sisters with mentioning of some excerpts

[39:40]from passages from the the sermon ofam that you all heard of

[39:48]but just to recharge our spiritual as they say batteries I'll read

[39:54]a few lines from the beautiful sermon of and then we will

[40:01]end inshallah there was narrated that as Ramadan approached ascended the pulpit

[40:09]and he began to admonish the people and to tell them about

[40:13]the greatness of began by saying says oh people the month of

[40:44]Allah has approached and it has come with all of its blessings

[40:47]and all of its mercy and forgiveness the Blessed month of Ramadan

[41:14]is the best month of Allah subhanahu waala its days are the

[41:18]best of days its nights are the best of nights and its

[41:23]hours are the best of ours [Music] he says during this month

[41:38]there is an ultimate banquet and every single one of us is

[41:43]invited Allah subhah waala is the host he's invited every single one

[41:51]of us it's like a banquet look at how beautifully eloquently it's

[41:55]like a dinner that Allah has invited every everyone he's the host

[41:59]and who's the guest of honor every single one of us Allah

[42:05]is inviting there is a special invitation to every single one of

[42:08]you come join Feast but what's being served on the table it's

[42:14]not food it's Mercy it's forgiveness it's the rewards of Allah it's

[42:18]it's our freedom from the fires of Hell come and join Allah

[42:21]subhanahu waala's blessed invitation and feast and then the most beautiful part

[42:27]of Ramadan says every time we breathe our breaths Allah will count

[42:48]that as T Subhan Allah Subhan all you have to do is

[42:52]breathe and Allah will reward you can you see the extra credit

[42:54]how easy it is that's why the prophet says able is he

[43:00]who Allah subh does not forgive during this because just breathe and

[43:05]Allah will reward you and sleep sleep and Allah count that as

[43:09]worship I sleep for eight hours while I'm snoring Allah will write

[43:15]that as a reward for me the prophet then says your deeds

[43:38]will all be accepted during this month Allah will be less strict

[43:42]Allah will be more lenient to accept our Deeds even if we

[43:45]did not fulfill all the requirements and Allah subh will answer our

[43:50]duas even if we don't deserve to be answered Allah will answer

[43:55]our duas in this month and then finally the holy prophet says

[44:14]finally he says so ask Allah subhanahu waala so that he gives

[44:20]you the honor he gives you the privilege the that you fast

[44:24]during the month of Ramadan so many people Ramadan they don't fast

[44:29]they don't Ramadan Muslims ask Allah subhana to give you the honor

[44:33]and the privilege that you fast during Ramadan and he accepts your

[44:36]deeds and he answers your brothers and sisters let us take advantage

[44:43]of every minute of the month of Ramadan let us not waste

[44:45]any time I ask Allah subhanahu wa taala to give us the

[44:51]and give us the power and the privilege of fasting during the

[44:56]month of Ramadan I I ask him to give us the the

[44:57]that we spend some of our time during Ramadan in and reading

[45:05]Quran supplication Dua Salah and I ask you brothers and sisters to

[45:08]keep me in your Dua please inshallah I shall do the same
