We know the Sahaba said that Rasoolullah ﷺ was known for his generosity. We know how generous he was. And we said that he was in Ramadan, he would become so generous that he would become like a beautiful wind that is coming full of, laden with water. Something is so generous, he would give and give and give. Let us become people who give. Most people pay the Zakat in Ramadan, Alhamdulillah. Zakat can be paid at any time...

My brothers and sisters, we have been talking about forgiveness and how Ramadan must make us people who are forgiving because our taqwa is increasing, alhamdulillah. Measure it. Ask yourself, what are the signs that my taqwa is increased? And look for those signs, right? And one of those signs is your willingness to forgive others. We have this beautiful story in this very terrible time when the slander against the incident of Ifk, the slander against our mother, Sayyidatuna Aisha Siddiqa (RA), the cousin of Abu Bakr Si...

Auto-generated transcript: **Bismillah, walhamdulillah, wassalatu wassalamu ala rasulullah ﷺ wa baad.** My brothers and sisters, forgiveness is something, forgiveness is the manifestation of mercy. The action which shows mercy is forgiveness. And forgiveness is something without which no relationship can exist. Every conceivable relationship on the face of the planet in our lives needs forgiveness. Including our relationship with Allah ﷻ. If Allah does not forgive us, we are finished. We are destroyed. Forgiveness is something we need with our spouses, we need with our children, we need with our teachers, our students, with our customers, clients, with strangers, with everybody, we need...

Wama baadu, my brothers and sisters, I remind myself in you that Ramadan al-Kareem is the month for us to change our lives and to bring them on to the path of obedience to Allah ﷻ in the way of His Nabi ﷺ. One of the important things in Ramadan also is to reflect on our relationships. Our relationships with our parents, our relationships with our siblings, our relationships with our friends and neighbors, our relationships with Muslims and non-Muslims. And to practi...

Let us make the most of this beautiful month. Let us make this month into a month of khair and barakah for all of us. I ask Allah ﷻ to help us build relationships and become people of this ummah who join with each other. In Ramadan is a month of forgiveness and seeking forgiveness. We understand this where Rasool Allah ﷺ asked us to beg Allah ﷻ for His forgiveness. Allah ﷻ said, Nabi ﷺ said in the hadith in Tirmidhi, narrated by Anas bin Ma...

Faham abadu. My brothers and sisters, we make etikaf to find Laylatul Qadr. And the Rasulullah ﷺ told us that Laylatul Qadr is one of the odd nights out of the last ten nights of Ramadan. We know the hadith where there were two sahaba who were arguing outside and Nabi ﷺ came out and he said, Allah ﷻ had told me the specific night of Laylatul Qadr, but He made me forget that because of your argument. But seek Laylatul Qadr in the last...

Auto-generated transcript: Bismillah, walhamdulillah, wassalatu wassalamu ala rasulillah ﷺ, wa abad. My brothers and sisters, we are coming to the close of the month. I'tikaf is a sunnat of Rasulullah ﷺ. He used to do I'tikaf the last ten nights of Ramadan al-Kareem. He would seclude himself in the masjid and he would make I'tikaf. He would stay away from his wives. He would be in a state of zikr and he would exert himself in prayer. No useless talk. Please understand, I'tikaf has rules. I'tikaf, you are not going to the masjid to hang out with your friends. You are not goin...

Auto-generated transcript: Bismillah, walhamdulillah, wassalatu wassalamu ala rasulillah ﷺ, my brothers and sisters, on the topic of dua. As I said to you, Ramadan is the month of dua, when we feel close to Allah ﷻ, when we have worked to try to develop our taqwa, and Allah ﷻ has helped us to become muttaqun, then we feel this unsiyat—we feel this closeness to Allah ﷻ—and we beg Allah ﷻ to help us. Inshallah, we ask Allah ﷻ to help us, and He will help us. When we are in this state, Allah taught us how to make dua. See the ayat of the dua of Zakariya...

Auto-generated transcript: Bismillah walhamdulillah wassalatu wassalamu ala Rasoolullah ﷺ wa ba'd. My brothers and sisters, alhamdulillah we are in the month of Ramadan. And this ayah which Allah put in the middle of the ayat of fasting: **إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ** (inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un). Which means Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala said: When my slave is close to Me, when my slave asks about Me, I am close to him. Tell him that I am close to him when he asks Me. I will give him, and let him obey Me and let him have faith in Me, and he will be rightly guided. We ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala—...

Auto-generated transcript: Bismillah, walhamdulillah, wassalatu wassalamu ala rasulullah ﷺ wa baad. My brothers and sisters, in Surah Al-Baqarah, in the middle of the ayat of talking about fasting, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala revealed this beautiful ayah where Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala said: **إِذَا سَأَلَكَ عِبَادِ أَنِّي فَإِنِّي قَرِيبٌ أُجِيبُ دَعْوَةَ الدَّاعِ إِذَا دَعَانُ فَلْيَسْتَجِيبُوا لِي وَلْيُؤْمِنُوا بِي لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْشُدُونَ** (inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un). Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala said that when my slave asks about me, I am near him. **إِذَا سَأَلَكَ عِبَادِ أَنِّي فَإِنِّي قَرِيبٌ** I am close to him. **أُجِيبُ دَعْوَةَ الدَّاعِ إِذَا دَعَانُ** I listen to his dua and I will grant him what he wants. **فَلْيَسْتَجِيبُوا لِي وَلْيُؤْمِنُوا بِي** Let him obey me and let him have faith in me. **لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْشُدُونَ** And inshallah he will be guided to the right place. He will get good guidance and the right guidance. My brothers and sisters, everything in the Quran is conditional. Allah has promised enormous rewards. But everything is conditional. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala said: **فَمَنْ جَاءَ بِالْحَسَنَةِ فَلَهُ أَثْمَال...

And peace and blessings be upon the honour of the Prophets and the Messengers. Muhammad ﷺ and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, peace and blessings be upon him, are very much in acceptance. My brothers and sisters, Abu Sayyid Al-Khudri, may Allah be pleased with him ﷺ, in a hadith which is narrated and which is preserved in Bukhari Muslim, he said that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, anyone who fasts for one day—now he is not even talking about the...

And tomorrow we go to Makkah Mukarrama or Umrah, inshallah. And since this is Ramadan, we know the hadith of Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa barakatuh. He said, anyone who makes Umrah in the month of Ramadan, Allah will give him reward equal to making Hajj with me. Just think about that. Somebody who...

Auto-generated transcript: Bismillah walhamdulillah wassalatu wassalamu ala rasulillah ﷲ wa ba'd. My brothers and sisters, we have this beautiful hadith narrated by Abu Huraira ﷲ, which is in Bukhari and Muslim, where he said: Rasulullah ﷲ reported, "Man sama ramadana imanan wa ihtisaban." The person whoever fasts during the month of Ramadan out of sincere faith and hoping to attain Allah ﷻ's reward, then all his past sins will be forgiven. Imagine this thing. So when you sit and start your suhoor, make this dua and say: "O Allah, I am making this niyah to fast. Please Allah accept this fast and forgive my sins...

Auto-generated transcript: Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim. As beautiful as you want, it is up to us. Rasulullah ﷺ said, Abu Huraira ﷲ reported in a hadith in Bukhari, he said the five daily prayers and from one Friday prayer to the next and from Ramadan to another Ramadan are expiation for sins committed in between provided one stays away from major sins. See the mercy of Allah ﷻ. From Fajr to Dhuhr, the time period, if you have committed any sin and by sin it does not mean doing something haram deliberately. These are things which we do, we forgetfully or we do because we, yo...

Auto-generated transcript: Bismillah, walhamdulillah, wassalatu wassalamu ala rasulullah ﷲ, wa baad. My brothers and sisters, Ramadan al-Kareem comes to us with so many beautiful benefits. Let us be aware of them. My idea of sharing this with you every morning is so that you can become aware of them and then practice them. As I said, the purpose of these reminders is to help us to become aware. And so therefore, whichever hadith you hear, whichever piece of advice you hear, I request you to make dua for me. May Allah enable me to say that which is beneficial for me an...

I ask Allahﷻ to give us and continue with us in this month with good health and with the desire to please Him. Let us exert ourselves, not become lazy. Let us read as much Quran as we can read, pray as many Nawafil as we can pray, and of course, we are fasting. We ask Allahﷻ to reward us because one day, my brothers and sisters—whether anyone believes it or not doesn’t matter; wh...

Auto-generated transcript: Bismillah, walhamdulillah, wassalatu wassalamu ala rasulillah. My brothers and sisters, I remind myself and you that Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala helps us in Ramadan to change our lives. He ensures we learn the right things, acts of obedience, reboots our intentions, and reinforces them so we will obey Him no matter what. In Ramadan, by denying ourselves even normally halal things, we remind ourselves that halal and haram are what Allah makes halal and haram; it doesn't have to make scientific sense. Even if it didn't, we would do it because Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala said so. Allah...

Auto-generated transcript: Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim, walhamdulillah, wassalatu wassalamu ala rasulillah ﷺ wa baad. My brothers and sisters, as I mentioned to you, every ibadah, every act of worship in Islam comes for a purpose. It is a tool to achieve something. Ramadan, Al-Kareem, and the fasting that Allah has prescribed for us is the tool to make us muttaqoon. And if we become muttaqoon, if we become people of taqwa, then Allah ﷻ has guaranteed hidayah. The book [Qur’an] is hidayah for the people of taqwa. Hidayah will enter the door, and the name of the door is taqwa. If that door i...

Auto-generated transcript: Bismillah, walhamdulillah, wassalatu wassalamu ala rasulullah ﷺ wa baad. My brothers and sisters, Ramadan al-Kareem came as a boot camp to revamp our lives, to improve our akhlaaq. Now see what Rasulullah ﷺ says about this issue of akhlaaq. Now Ramadan comes and Allah ﷻ does not only level the playing field, but Allah ﷻ skews it in our favor. Allah ﷻ locks up the shayateen. So the amount of temptation is far, far less. In spite of that, if you are getting temptation, it is from yourself. It is our own nafs, the biggest shayateen which is within us. So, but the shayateen...

My brothers and sisters, Ramadan is the month of changing our lives. Ramadan is the month of forgiveness, seeking forgiveness and forgiving others. We have the hadith of Abdurrahman ibn Auf, may Allah be pleased with him, which states that Ramadan is the month of giving, the month of investing, the month of giving as much charity as we can give with the intention of investment with Allah ﷻ. We have the hadith of Abdu...

Auto-generated transcript: Bismillah, walhamdulillah, wassalatu wassalamu ala rasoolullah ﷺ wa baad. My brothers and sisters, alhamdulillah, Ramadan al-Karim comes like a boot camp. It comes to help us to clean up our act. It comes to help us to get our lives back on track. The track leading to the rida of Allah. The track leading, inshaAllah, to Jannah. The track leading, inshaAllah, to the forgiveness of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. And for this, I'll give you a little formula of which you might like to practice. Start your day with tahajjud, as I mentioned. Start the day with tahajjud and pr...

Auto-generated transcript: Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim, walhamdulillah, wassalatu wassalamu ala rasoolullah ﷺ wa baad. My brothers and sisters, people ask this question and say, what is the best way, how can I start tahajjud? And I say to you, the best way to start tahajjud is to start tahajjud and to pray tahajjud every single day. Sometimes people will tell you, pray once a week or pray, you know, two times a week. That is difficult because the way to make a difficult thing easy is to make it a habit. And a thing becomes a habit if you do it regularly wi...

Auto-generated transcript: Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim walhamdulillah wassalatu wassalamu ala rasulillah ﷺ wa ba'd. On the subject of tahajjud, this is one of the beautiful things that gets initiated in Ramadan, qiyamul layl. Don't fall into needless arguments about whether tarawih is sunnah or not—it is sunnah; there is no doubt about this. Don't fall into arguments about how many rak'at you should pray, whether it should be 8 or 20 or whatever. Or in Maliki fiqh, 36—Sahabi came to ask Rasulullah ﷺ about qiyamul layl, and he said, "How should I pray?" He said, "Pray 2 by 2—that's it." He did not say, "Pray 2 and 10 and...

The question we are talking about taqwa, we are talking about fasting. We are talking about the benefits of fasting and how Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala sent us fasting in order to make us muttaqun, in order to make us people of taqwa. And the question is how do you develop taqwa? Very simple. The way to develop taqwa is to remember your death. To remember that one d...

My brothers and sisters, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala sent this month of Ramadan al-Kareem to make us or help us to become muttaqoon. Qutiba alaykum as-siyamu kama qutiba ala allatheena min qablikum la'allakum tattaqoon. Qala Jalla wa ala, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala mentioned this, that He said fasting has been prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you. So that you may become muttaqoon.

Auto-generated transcript: بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم، و الحمد لله، و السَّلام على النبيﷺ و عِترته. إخوتي وأخواتي الكرام، كل العبادات التي نمارسها في ديننا الحنيف هي أدوات مصممة لمساعدتنا في تحقيق شيء ما. على سبيل المثال، قال الله تعالى: "إِنَّ الصَّلَاةَ تَنْحَةٌ عَنِ الْفَحْشَاءِ وَالْمُنكَرِ". Verily, the prayer is something that keeps us away from lewdness and evil deeds._similarly, regarding the month of Ramadan and fasting, Allah Almighty said: "يا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ الصِّيَامُ كَمَا كُتِبَ عَلَى الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ". O you who believe, fasting has been prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you, so that you may become people of taqwa. Taqwa is that beautiful state where a person has fear and awe of Allah in their heart, along with gratitude for all that Allah has given them. This combination leads to taqwa, which is being afraid of displeasing Allah, especially since we love Him more than anyone or anything else. And this is why Allah Almighty said, "I have prescribed fasting so that you may develop taqwa." The benefits of becoming muttaqeen are immense, as all the promises of Allah in the Quran are only for those who possess taqwa, not just for ordinary Muslims. While being Muslim is a great honor, to truly benefit fro
