Observe your duty to your Lord. For those who do good in this world there is good, and Allah's earth is spacious. Verily the steadfast will be paid their wages without stint.” (39:10) 00:04:58.399 --> 00:05:01.160 And the Prophet, peace be upon him, said 00:05:01.160 --> 00:05:03.519 Every deed of the son of Adam 00:05:03.519 --> 00:05:04.879 Is multiplied 00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:07.680 A good deed by ten times its like 00:05:07.680 --> 00:05:10.079 Up to seven hundred times 00:05:10.079 --> 00:05:12.199 Allah, the Almighty and Exalted, said 00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:13.680 Except for fasting 00:05:13.720 --> 00:05:16.879 For it is Mine, and I shall reward for it 00:05:16.879 --> 00:05:20.519 He leaves his

00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:35.680 His past sins will be forgiven 00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:37.759 And whoever prays with the Imam 00:05:37.759 --> 00:05:39.839 Until he finishes 00:05:39.839 --> 00:05:42.480 It is written for him as if he prayed the whole night 00:05:42.519 --> 00:05:44.160 Glory be to Allah 00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:46.240 A few minutes 00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:48.639 You pray them with the Imam 00:05:48.639 --> 00:05:50.920 And it is written for you before Allah 00:05:50.920 --> 00:05:54.079 That you have prayed the entire night 00:05:54.079 --> 00:05:56.519 Oh, for this great favor 00:05:56.519 --> 00:05:58.800 In this noble month 00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:00.800 In this blessed month 00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:03.480 Ibn Rajab, may Allah have mercy on him, said 00:06:03.480 --> 00:06:05.959 Know that the believer 00:06:05.959 --> 00:06:08.959 Has gathered for him in the month of Ramadan 00:06:08.959 --> 00:06:11.360 Two struggles for his soul 00:06:11.399 --> 00:06:14.160 A struggle by day through fasting 00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:17.000 And a struggle by night through prayer 00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:20.079 So whoever combines these two struggles 00:06:20.079 --> 00:06:22.959 And fulfills their rights 00:06:22.959 --> 00:06:25.279 And is patient through them 00:06:25.279 --> 00:06:29.120 His reward will be given without measure 00:06:29.120 --> 00:06:30.759 And among the deeds 00:06:30.759 --> 00:06:33.680 In which the righteous compete 00:06:33.680 --> 00:06:35.839 In this blessed month 00:06:35.839 --> 00:06:37.680 Is the recitation of the Qur'an 00:06:37.680 --> 00:06:39.399 For the month of Ramadan 00:06:39.439 --> 00:06:43.040 Is the month in which the Qur'an was revealed 00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:45.480 And Jibril, peace be upon him 00:06:45.480 --> 00:06:48.639 Used to meet the Prophet, peace be upon him 00:06:48.639 --> 00:06:51.480 Every night of Ramadan 00:06:51.480 --> 00:06:54.160 And study the Qur'an with him 00:06:54.160 --> 00:06:56.000 So it behooves the Muslim 00:06:56.000 --> 00:06:58.959 To set a goal to complete the Qur'an in Ramadan 00:06:58.959 --> 00:07:02.279 And whatever you increase is better 00:07:02.279 --> 00:07:05.160 For whoever reads a letter from the Book of Allah 00:07:05.160 --> 00:07:07.319 Has a good deed for it 00:07:07.360 --> 00:07:10.000 And the good deed is ten times its like 00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:11.879 But, O servants of Allah 00:07:11.879 --> 00:07:14.120 It is also necessary 00:07:14.120 --> 00:07:16.519 To reflect and contemplate 00:07:16.519 --> 00:07:19.120 Because Allah, the Almighty and Exalted, says 00:07:19.120 --> 00:07:23.000 “(This is) a Scripture that We have revealed unto thee, full of blessing, that they may ponder its revelations, and that men of understanding may reflect.” (38:29) 00:07:23.000 --> 00:07:25.779 To contemplate its verses 00:07:25.779 --> 00:07:27.420 And among the deeds 00:07:27.420 --> 00:07:30.180 In which the righteous compete 00:07:30.180 --> 00:07:31.819 In the month of Ramadan 00:07:31.819 --> 00:07:34.810 Is charity, O servants of Allah 00:07:34.810 --> 00:07:36.810 For the Messenger of Allah 00:07:36.850 --> 00:07:38.649 Peace be upon him 00:07:38.649 --> 00:07:40.290 Was the most generous of people 00:07:40.290 --> 00:07:43.569 And he was at his most generous in Ramadan 00:07:43.569 --> 00:07:45.410 And the greatest of charity 00:07:45.410 --> 00:07:47.730 Is the obligatory charity 00:07:47.730 --> 00:07:51.170 Such as zakat and expiations 00:07:51.170 --> 00:07:52.449 But 00:07:52.449 --> 00:07:54.769 Let us beware of an important matter 00:07:54.769 --> 00:07:56.810 Let us beware of paying it 00:07:56.810 --> 00:08:00.689 To unknown external entities 00:08:00.689 --> 00:08:03.370 So that Islam is not fought 00:08:03.370 --> 00:08:05.689 With the wealth of the Muslims 00:08:05.689 --> 00:08:09.410 And there are known official channels 00:08:09.410 --> 00:08:11.089 That we should be keen to use 00:08:11.089 --> 00:08:12.889 And that it should be through them 00:08:12.889 --> 00:08:15.329 And also among charities 00:08:15.329 --> 00:08:17.490 From the types of charity 00:08:17.490 --> 00:08:19.449 Is the charity of dhikr (remembrance) 00:08:19.449 --> 00:08:20.810 Such as glorifying Allah (tasbih) 00:08:20.810 --> 00:08:22.930 And declaring His greatness (takbir) and His oneness (tahlil) 00:08:22.930 --> 00:08:25.529 And the charity of good character 00:08:25.529 --> 00:08:26.889 Such as smiling 00:08:26.889 --> 00:08:28.410 And refraining from harming others 00:08:28.410 --> 00:08:30.769 And that you forgive those who wronged you 00:08:30.769 --> 00:08:32.929 And give to those who deprived you 00:08:32.929 --> 00:08:35.049 And uphold ties with those who severed them 00:08:35.049 --> 00:08:36.649 All of that 00:08:36.649 --> 00:08:39.210 Are charities before Allah 00:08:39.210 --> 00:08:42.049 Which are magnified in the month of Ramadan 00:08:42.049 --> 00:08:45.970 And among the deeds in which the righteous compete 00:08:45.970 --> 00:08:48.129 In this blessed month 00:08:48.129 --> 00:08:49.850 Is frequent supplication 00:08:49.850 --> 00:08:51.330 Allah the Almighty says 00:08:51.330 --> 00:08:54.250 “And when My servants question thee concerning Me, then surely I am nigh. I answer the prayer of the suppliant when he crieth unto Me. So let them hear My call and let them trust in Me, in order that they may be led aright.” (2:186) 00:08:54.250 --> 00:08:56.250 Indeed, I am near 00:08:56.250 --> 00:08:58.289 Indeed, I am near 00:08:58.289 --> 00:09:01.370 “And when My servants question thee concerning Me, then surely I am nigh. I answer the prayer of the suppliant when he crieth unto Me. So let them hear My call and let them trust in Me, in order that they may be led aright.” (2:186) 00:09:01.370 --> 00:09:03.009 And this verse 00:09:03.009 --> 00:09:04.490 Allah mentioned it 00:09:04.490 --> 00:09:06.370 Between the verses of fasting 00:09:06.370 --> 00:09:09.049 Ibn 'Ashur, may Allah have mercy on him, said 00:09:09.049 --> 00:09:10.850 And in this verse 00:09:10.850 --> 00:09:12.330 Is an indication 00:09:12.330 --> 00:09:14.450 That the fasting person 00:09:14.450 --> 00:09:16.610 Is one whose prayer is hoped to be answered 00:09:16.610 --> 00:09:18.889 And that the month of Ramadan 00:09:18.889 --> 00:09:21.529 Is a time when prayers are hoped to be answered 00:09:21.529 --> 00:09:24.129 The Prophet, peace be upon him, said 00:09:24.129 --> 00:09:27.370 Three prayers are answered 00:09:27.370 --> 00:09:29.210 The prayer of the fasting person 00:09:29.210 --> 00:09:31.049 And the prayer of the oppressed 00:09:31.049 --> 00:09:33.250 And the prayer of the traveler 00:09:33.250 --> 00:09:36.210 And here we draw attention to an important matter 00:09:36.210 --> 00:09:38.450 That many people 00:09:38.450 --> 00:09:39.690 Believe 00:09:39.690 --> 00:09:42.490 That the answering of the prayer 00:09:42.490 --> 00:09:45.929 Only at the time of breaking the fast, or shortly before it. 00:09:45.929 --> 00:09:47.450 This is correct. 00:09:47.450 --> 00:09:50.529 Because there is a hadith that stipulates this. 00:09:50.529 --> 00:09:52.250 However, it is also 00:09:52.250 --> 00:09:53.929 from the grace of Allah 00:09:53.929 --> 00:09:55.529 upon the fasting person 00:09:55.529 --> 00:09:58.610 that He has made all of his time a time for answering prayers. 00:09:58.610 --> 00:10:00.730 As we heard in the hadith: 00:10:00.769 --> 00:10:03.370 "Three supplications are answered," 00:10:03.370 --> 00:10:04.850 and it mentioned among them 00:10:04.850 --> 00:10:06.809 the supplication of the fasting person. 00:10:06.809 --> 00:10:11.210 So, if Allah inspires you, O servant of Allah, 00:10:11.210 --> 00:10:13.490 if Allah inspires you to supplicate, 00:10:13.490 --> 00:10:14.809 then praise Allah, 00:10:14.809 --> 00:10:15.809 and know 00:10:15.809 --> 00:10:18.690 that with supplication comes the answer. 00:10:18.690 --> 00:10:19.970 So trust in Allah, 00:10:19.970 --> 00:10:21.929 and pray for yourself, 00:10:21.929 --> 00:10:23.250 for your parents, 00:10:23.250 --> 00:10:24.570 for your household, 00:10:24.570 --> 00:10:25.929 and for the Muslims. 00:10:25.929 --> 00:10:27.570 For the fasting person 00:10:27.570 --> 00:10:29.690 has a supplication that is not rejected. 00:10:29.730 --> 00:10:31.960 O noble ones, 00:10:31.960 --> 00:10:33.919 among the deeds also 00:10:33.919 --> 00:10:36.799 in which the righteous compete 00:10:36.799 --> 00:10:38.440 during the month of Ramadan 00:10:38.440 --> 00:10:40.080 is the purification of hearts 00:10:40.080 --> 00:10:42.039 from malice, envy, 00:10:42.039 --> 00:10:44.080 doubt, hypocrisy, 00:10:44.080 --> 00:10:46.279 dissimulation, and hardness. 00:10:46.279 --> 00:10:48.039 For the world is fleeting, 00:10:48.039 --> 00:10:49.799 and nothing remains of it 00:10:49.799 --> 00:10:52.840 except your righteous deeds, O servant of Allah, 00:10:52.840 --> 00:10:54.600 and your sound heart. 00:10:54.600 --> 00:10:56.600 Remember the saying of Allah: 00:10:56.600 --> 00:10:59.279 “The day when wealth and sons avail not (any man)” (26:88) 00:10:59.279 --> 00:11:02.240 "Except for one who comes to Allah with a sound heart." 00:11:02.240 --> 00:11:04.200 O fasting ones, 00:11:04.200 --> 00:11:06.159 guard your fast 00:11:06.159 --> 00:11:08.399 from that which would mar it 00:11:08.399 --> 00:11:10.679 or diminish its reward, 00:11:10.679 --> 00:11:12.200 such as forbidden acts 00:11:12.200 --> 00:11:14.799 and time-wasting activities. 00:11:14.799 --> 00:11:17.799 For whoever does not abandon false speech and acting upon it, 00:11:17.799 --> 00:11:18.960 and ignorance, 00:11:18.960 --> 00:11:21.120 Allah has no need 00:11:21.120 --> 00:11:24.559 for him to abandon his food and drink. 00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:27.080 Praise Allah, O servants of Allah, 00:11:27.080 --> 00:11:29.200 that He has brought you to Ramadan, 00:11:29.200 --> 00:11:31.720 and that He has aided you in fasting 00:11:31.720 --> 00:11:33.240 and in standing in prayer. 00:11:33.240 --> 00:11:34.519 For others 00:11:34.519 --> 00:11:36.600 were not able to fast, 00:11:36.600 --> 00:11:38.840 and were not able to stand in prayer. 00:11:38.840 --> 00:11:40.519 O Allah, to You be praise, 00:11:40.519 --> 00:11:42.919 and we cannot enumerate Your praises; 00:11:42.919 --> 00:11:45.519 You are as You have praised Yourself. 00:11:45.519 --> 00:11:48.360 May Allah bless me and you with the Great Qur'an, 00:11:48.360 --> 00:11:52.399 and benefit me and you with the verses and wise reminder it contains. 00:11:52.399 --> 00:11:56.480 I say what you hear, and I ask Allah's forgiveness for me and for you, so seek His forgiveness; 00:11:56.519 --> 00:12:01.669 indeed, He is the Forgiving, the Merciful. 00:12:01.669 --> 00:12:04.799 Praise be to Allah for His benevolence, 00:12:04.799 --> 00:12:08.389 and thanks be to Him for His guidance and favor. 00:12:08.389 --> 00:12:11.620 I bear witness that there is no deity but Allah, 00:12:11.620 --> 00:12:15.059 and I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, 00:12:15.059 --> 00:12:18.139 may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. 00:12:18.139 --> 00:12:21.870 To proceed, O servants of Allah, 00:12:21.870 --> 00:12:24.960 the date today 00:12:24.960 --> 00:12:30.759 is the twenty-ninth of the blessed month of Ramadan. 00:12:30.759 --> 00:12:33.440 Pardon me, O servants of Allah, 00:12:33.440 --> 00:12:38.399 do not think that I have made a mistake in the date; no. 00:12:38.399 --> 00:12:44.460 I know that today is the fourth day of the month of Ramadan, 00:12:44.460 --> 00:12:48.220 but this day will pass, 00:12:48.220 --> 00:12:51.340 and it will come to pass, if Allah extends our life 00:12:51.340 --> 00:12:53.460 and grants us more time. 00:12:53.460 --> 00:12:55.700 How swift are the days! 00:12:55.700 --> 00:12:58.820 How swift are the nights and the days! 00:12:58.860 --> 00:13:02.779 And Allah spoke the truth when He said regarding Ramadan: 00:13:02.779 --> 00:13:05.379 "A limited number of days." 00:13:05.379 --> 00:13:07.700 This month is short, 00:13:07.700 --> 00:13:10.059 it does not tolerate negligence, 00:13:10.059 --> 00:13:12.179 its arrival is a passing event, 00:13:12.179 --> 00:13:14.539 it does not accept lethargy. 00:13:14.539 --> 00:13:17.500 And whenever you become lazy, O servant of Allah, 00:13:17.500 --> 00:13:20.860 whenever you become lazy or slacken in obedience, 00:13:20.860 --> 00:13:22.720 remember the saying of Allah: 00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:24.960 "A limited number of days." 00:13:25.000 --> 00:13:26.639 And if you are able 00:13:26.639 --> 00:13:29.519 that no one should outstrip you to Allah, 00:13:29.519 --> 00:13:30.480 then do so. 00:13:30.480 --> 00:13:32.720 For they are but days, 00:13:32.720 --> 00:13:34.799 then this month will come to an end. 00:13:34.799 --> 00:13:37.159 We ask Allah, the Majestic, 00:13:37.159 --> 00:13:40.039 as He brought us to its beginning, 00:13:40.039 --> 00:13:43.320 to bring us to its middle and its end, 00:13:43.320 --> 00:13:45.360 and to grant us success in it 00:13:45.360 --> 00:13:48.399 for every deed He loves and is pleased with. 00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:49.759 O Allah, O Lord, 00:13:49.759 --> 00:13:51.799 O Possessor of Majesty and Honor, 00:13:51.799 --> 00:13:53.480 O Ever-Living, O Sustainer, 00:13:53.480 --> 00:13:56.440 make us among those who fast and stand in prayer during Ramadan 00:13:56.440 --> 00:13:58.960 out of faith and seeking reward, 00:13:58.960 --> 00:14:01.480 so that You forgive them, have mercy on them, 00:14:01.480 --> 00:14:03.799 and free them from the Fire. 00:14:03.799 --> 00:14:06.440 O Allah, O Possessor of Majesty and Honor, 00:14:06.440 --> 00:14:08.960 O Allah, suffice us against what concerns us, 00:14:08.960 --> 00:14:12.039 be gentle with us in what You have decreed, 00:14:12.039 --> 00:14:15.039 and aid us in what You have ordained. 00:14:15.039 --> 00:14:16.799 We seek Your forgiveness, O Lord, 00:14:16.799 --> 00:14:19.600 for every word followed by regret, 00:14:19.600 --> 00:14:22.679 or every deed by which the foot slips. 00:14:22.720 --> 00:14:25.600 For You are the trust for those who rely upon You, 00:14:25.600 --> 00:14:28.799 and the protection for those who entrust their affairs to You. 00:14:28.799 --> 00:14:31.879 O Allah, remove every affliction from us, 00:14:31.879 --> 00:14:34.559 clothe us in the garment of piety, 00:14:34.559 --> 00:14:37.440 and make Paradise our abode. 00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:39.840 Have mercy on those who have preceded us to You, 00:14:39.840 --> 00:14:42.039 O Most High, O All-Knowing, 00:14:42.039 --> 00:14:45.200 and specifically our fathers and mothers. 00:14:45.200 --> 00:14:49.960 O Allah, heal our sick, 00:14:49.960 --> 00:14:52.320 have mercy on our dead, 00:14:52.360 --> 00:14:54.639 grant well-being to those of us who are afflicted, 00:14:54.639 --> 00:14:56.480 settle our debts, 00:14:56.480 --> 00:14:58.480 relieve our worries, 00:14:58.480 --> 00:15:00.559 and ease our distress. 00:15:00.559 --> 00:15:03.279 Do not make us in need of anyone but You. 00:15:03.279 --> 00:15:05.480 O Allah, You are the Merciful, 00:15:05.480 --> 00:15:08.720 whose bounty overflows upon all existence, 00:15:08.720 --> 00:15:11.840 whose grace overflows upon all existence. 00:15:11.840 --> 00:15:13.519 You are the Forgiving, 00:15:13.519 --> 00:15:16.720 whose forgiveness encompasses all things. 00:15:16.720 --> 00:15:18.559 You are the Self-Sufficient, 00:15:18.600 --> 00:15:22.399 whose generosity and kindness overflow upon Your servants. 00:15:22.399 --> 00:15:23.879 You are the Light, 00:15:23.879 --> 00:15:27.480 which illuminated the universe with the light of Your Face and Your Greatness. 00:15:27.480 --> 00:15:28.919 O Allah, O Lord, 00:15:28.919 --> 00:15:32.039 open for us the locked doors, 00:15:32.039 --> 00:15:34.759 prepare for us the best of means, 00:15:34.759 --> 00:15:37.279 provide us with the best of companions, 00:15:37.279 --> 00:15:40.799 and make us among the people of piety and those of understanding. 00:15:40.799 --> 00:15:44.000 O Allah, grant us security in our homes and dwellings, 00:15:44.000 --> 00:15:46.159 reform those in authority, 00:15:46.159 --> 00:15:48.080 expand our chests, 00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:51.399 and illuminate the graves of the deceased Muslims, 00:15:51.399 --> 00:15:53.960 by Your mercy, O All-Mighty, O All-Forgiving. 00:15:53.960 --> 00:15:56.480 O Allah, grant victory to our soldiers on the borders, 00:15:56.480 --> 00:15:59.279 O Allah, grant victory to our soldiers on the borders, 00:15:59.279 --> 00:16:02.460 be for them a supporter and a helper, 00:16:02.460 --> 00:16:04.500 and a helper and a backer. 00:16:04.500 --> 00:16:07.539 O Allah, return them safe and victorious. 00:16:07.539 --> 00:16:09.580 Protect us from the evil of Your creation, 00:16:09.580 --> 00:16:11.500 O Ever-Living, O Sustainer. 00:16:11.500 --> 00:16:13.899 O Allah, You have in Ramadan, 00:16:13.899 --> 00:16:16.259 every night, those whom You free from the Fire. 00:16:16.259 --> 00:16:19.460 O Allah, make us among those You free from the Fire, 00:16:19.460 --> 00:16:22.899 O Allah, make us among those You free from the Fire. 00:16:22.899 --> 00:16:26.220 O Allah, free us, our parents, 00:16:26.220 --> 00:16:28.460 our children, our descendants, 00:16:28.460 --> 00:16:30.419 and the Muslims from the Fire, 00:16:30.419 --> 00:16:33.220 by Your mercy, O All-Mighty, O All-Forgiving. 00:16:33.220 --> 00:16:36.340 O Allah, this is the supplication, and from You is the answer, 00:16:36.340 --> 00:16:38.940 this is the effort, and upon You is the reliance. 00:16:38.940 --> 00:16:41.940 Exalted is your Lord, the Lord of Might, above what they describe, 00:16:41.940 --> 00:16:43.779 and peace be upon the messengers, 00:16:43.779 --> 00:16:46.179 and praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds.
