 بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم الحمد لله الذي تقدست عن الأشباه ذاته ودلت عليه آياته ومخلوقاته واشد أن لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له عراد ملعباد فاعله ولو عصمهم لما خالفوه ولو شاء يطيعه لأطاعه جميعه واشد أن سيدنا ونبينا محمد آخر الأنبياء في الدنيا عصرا وأجلهم يوم القيامة شأنا وذكرى صلى الله عليه وملايكة هو الصالحنا من خلقه كما وحد الله وعرف به ودعى إليه وما بعد إن شاء الله the topic today as the brothers mentioned is going to be about preparation for the month of Ramadan إن شاء الله what we're going to do إن شاء الله is talk about some principles that are needed before the month of Ramadan arrives for us to come with and then insha'Allah as a final point we will talk about is the virtues of the month of Ramadan in a national insha'Allah the first قاعدة or first principle insha'Allah that I want to alert brothers and sisters with is what is that the person feels a love and a desire to meet Allah and this month of Ramadan is a chance for you to meet with Allah سبحانه وتعالى as it always is but this month is a month Allah has given you many many things in which you come with that Allah سبحانه وتعالى will forgive you and it's a month of forgiveness so this is something as a believer if he recognizes the shock and the drive he has for Allah سبحانه وتعالى he will run and hasten to these opportunities as we know عبد الله بن مسعود رضي الله تعالى عبد الله بن عمر رضي الله تعالى mentions as إيمان مطبرانيو narrated in his معجم that the messengers that he narrated as a موقوف موقوف means when a companion say something he said إن الإيمان لا يخلق في جو في أحدكم that the Eman in each and every one of you it wears out in your chest so the Eman wears out meaning it decreases كما يخلق with foam the way that the garment will wear out فسأل الله إن جديد الإيمان في قلوبكم ask Allah سبحانه وتعالى to renew for you your Eman every now and then so it will wear out at times like Ramadan is an opportunity to bring the Eman up again for it to go back to a level which is high better than what it was before the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم I told his hadith narrated by إيمان ملبخاري إذا تقرب العبدو if the servant comes close to Allah سبحانه وتعالى إلي الشبرا حديث حديث القدسي or you can call it حديث الإلهي حديث which the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم I narrated from Allah الله عز وجل I said when my servant إذا تقرب العبدو إليه شبرا تقرب إليه ذراع if the servant comes close to me a handspan 4 fingers تقريبا I will come close to him a ذراع a handspan an armspan more like وإذا تقرب إليه ذراعا if he comes close to me an armspan الله سبحانه وتعالى تقرب منه باعا then it will be close to equivalent to a step وإذا أتان يمشي if my servant comes to me to me walking أتيته هرولة I come to him running so this hadith she teaches us what that the action has to come from the servant first in order for Allah سبحانه وتعالى to reply to it so the month of Ramadan there are things you have to come with before the month comes before Allah comes running to you before Allah forgives you before Allah comes close to you that much you have to come with actions in order for these things to come وليذلك the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم as إمام النسائي narrated بصحيح in an authentic chain of narration that the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم I used to make a dua and the dua he used to make use to say أرضى pleasement بالقضاء in the things that you judge سبحانه وتعالى وبرد العيشي and calm and coolness of living بعد الموت after death so I live a good life after death وليذلك النظر and that I enjoy the sweetness of seeing you وشوقي إلى لقائك and having the aspiration and the love of wanting to meet you and this is one thing brothers I want to mention which is if the person doesn't have as إمام ابن القيه mentions two things the person who's a salik who's taking a path will never reach his goal the first one is aspiration that lifts you up that takes you high which is a إراد it's a drive the second one is and knowledge that shows you the path whilst you have the aspiration whilst you have the drive there has to be with it knowledge that pushes you to go up and that is what we ask Allah سبحانه وتعالى in every salah five times a day in each ركعة we ask Allah سبحانه وتعالى to give us those two together which is what we say إهدين الصراطة المستقيم صراطة الذين أنعمت عليهم غير المغطوب عليهم والضالين the nasara they had what they had aspiration that takes them up but did they have did they have knowledge that guided them to what they wanted no so they just had a drive the aspiration so they pray without knowledge and they worship Allah without knowledge whereas the nasara what did they have they have but that knowledge that they have with it did it come aspiration having the knowledge and then wanted to execute the knowledge did they have it together the answers no so the believers we ask for Allah to give us both the knowledge with the aspiration so that is why it's important before the month of Ramadan comes the person he learns the virtues of the month of Ramadan so his knowledge in which that will guide him the second thing is then he has aspiration now he sets himself a goal he has a shock in this month I want to be close to Allah سبحانه وتعالى and I want to make myself from where I am right now before this great month comes I have to prepare what are those things that will help you in order to have that shock that desire that love in wanting to meet Allah سبحانه وتعالى in general one of the things اخواني is observing and reading the names and attributes of Allah سبحانه وتعالى every day try to sit down and learn a name of Allah what it means what it carries and try to understand it والله الله تفق and a lot of understanding will come out for you when a person knows Allah he connects his heart with Allah and he gets to know who Allah is سبحانه وتعالى automatically everything else will come into place so it's important that the person he learns the names of Allah and the attributes of Allah just go home today and study the name of the Rahman study the name in all of its form in all of its form is what does it mean what it means does it carry what did the علامة say about it all of the understanding I can assure you once you come out of that session you will be reading the name of Allah you will come out having so much hope and then go to the opposite panel which is reading the names of Allah that show that Allah can destroy whoever goes against his command then read that as well then you have and then and then you combine between the two that was meant to be combined إنهم كانوا يدعون إنهم كانوا يدعون the righteous people the prophets they used to worship Allah upon what hope and desires hope and will and wanting and having and fear sorry hope and fear so they hoped Allah's جنة سبحانه وتعالى and his pleasement and they feared the punishment of Allah and his pleasement so it's important that the person stands on this one first I'll give you one example to show you how the Sahaba رضوان الله عليهم أجمعين أشتري remote ورص Vide when we phone as I'm أخرج said man كان are مستن injection بمن قدمات anyone wants to follow a people wants to take the path of a people for pretending so واتبارك وتعالى لصحبة النبيه. الله أخبر these people to be the companions around the messengers صلى الله عليه وسلم. فارفوا لهم حقهم. For verily you should know for them their virtues and what they had. فإنهم كانوا على هودهم مستقيم. For they were verily upon a path of guidance. That's how the prophets companions were. So when we talk about the companions for us is those we want to follow in their actions and the things they did. Let's look at the companions how they tried to sit down on the Quran and understand it. ولي ذلك before the month of Ramadhan comes insha'Allah we will see from his virtues is that Allah sent the Quran that month and it's the month of Quran ولي ذلك سلف هذه الأمة the righteous people before when this month came they would stop everything else and they will only sit down to memorize the Quran and try to understand the Quran. Why? Because the Quran one of its purposes is for it to be understood. الله says افلا يتدبرون القرآن ام على قلوب اقفالها. In another ayah said افلا يتدبرون القرآن ولو كو ولو كان من عند غير الله لوجدوا فيه اختلاف كثيرا. Are they not going to ponder on the Quran of Allah or is their heart sealed? And another ayah would be say افلا يتدبرون القرآن are they not going to ponder on the Quran of Allah عز وجل. For verily if the Quran came from other than Allah they would have found in the Quran disputes and they would have found contradiction in the Quran. Because it's from الله. None of that will be there. So Allah ordered us كتاموا احكيمت آياتوا ثم فصلت من لدوا حكيم العليم. The Quran it's been explained it's been told that Allah سبحانه وتعالى He explained everything and anything you require. So what do you do? You look for the names of Allah عز وجل and his words he said in the Quran and you try to understand them. I want to give you one example of the companions. When the ayah came down من the man in the Arabic language is من أدوات العموم. And those of you who study the Arabic language would know man is نكرة في سياق الشرط اما نعم اذا يقبز سياق which is موصولة او اذا يقبز من سياق نفق. All of those it shows عمومات. Generalization. So whoever who is it from you guys. And now it's about who is the person who is going to give Allah عز وجلوات. Alone. Who's going to give Allah alone سبحانه وتعالى. قرضا حسنة who will give Allah a good loan. What will Allah do? فا يضاعفه له. Allah will increase and multiply for him what he has. Remember brothers two things. Festival who gave you the wealth that you have الله عز وجل. Allah asked you to give it to him as a loan. إغاني هاذي. He only it shows us how Allah wants to just reward us. And how he just wants to give us reward سبحانه وتعالى. When this آية came down from the campaigners was أبو دحداح الأنصاري رضي الله تعالى عنه. He heard the آية come down and my intent from the story إخواني is to understand what the Quran is. To understand what Allah intends from you. These are the things that will increase your heart. The love of wanting to meet Allah and the love of wanting to meet him with righteous actions. So what did أبو دحداح do? He said to the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم. To the messenger صلى الله عليه وإن الله يريد مننا القرض is Allah. Does Allah want from us a loan? قال نعم يا أبو دحداح. The messenger said of course yes. Allah wants it. So it fascinated him. He said إني يا رسول الله أولا يسأل أعطيني يدك جميعا حان يا رسول الله. He took the prophet's hand as though he was doing an act and a bay'a with him. And then when he took the prophet's hand he done a transaction with him صلى الله عليه وسلم. And he said to him قال فإني قردت ربي حائطي I gave my lord my garden for verily it is. And أبو دحداح's garden was one of the known garden amongst Ansar and in the city of Medina. It was known. كف كان يضربوا به المثل. An example was made of it. Like it was an example to the people. When they wanted to make a proverb they would use his garden as a proverb. رحمه الله رضي الله تعالى عن. Then what did he say يا رسول الله my garden he reminded the message. He said my garden يا رسول الله. It has six hundred trees in it. All of that. And everything that's in it is for the sake of Allah. When أبو دحداح came back home to tell his wife the good news of what he did and she was a righteous wife. She was pleased with what he did as well. He saw his kids whilst they were leaving the garden. They tried to take some of the fruits from the garden. He told them to drop it. Put it down on the ground. And then what did أبو دحداح do? رضي الله تعالى عن. He moved forward. The point of the story is مطالعة. These companions. رضوان الله عليهم جمعين. أسأل الله المولى عز وجل. And يجعلنا من من يصلكم مسلكهم. I ask Allah to make us those who follow their path. رضوان الله عليهم جمعين. The companions they looked at the Qur'an and they tried to understand what Allah wanted from them. A month of رمضان is about to come. So you need to sit down on the verses in the Qur'an that talk about Ramadan and what it means and try to understand it. These are one of the things that you should do in advance because this month is about to it's about to arrive. One of the things that you need to know brother's is from this great month is الإمام مبنو رجب الحمبلي has a book it's a book when you look at you will find out it talks about the whole year what the messenger ﷺ used to do every month. So when a person wants to know what did the Prophet specifically do رمضان? What did he do the month of محرم? What did he do the month شعبان? You want to study these months so you go home and you look at what your messenger did because that's the person you follow قولا وعملا وطروك. You follow the Prophet ﷺ in the things he said and the things that he did and you follow him in the things he left صلى الله عليه وسلم. If that's the case then we're following him in أولا أحوالا أولا وأمور then you need to know every month what did he do. So you can follow him in it. إمو رجب wrote this book and he said and the reason why I'm saying this is because now the month of رمضان is coming. One of the things that a person needs to know is the Muslim calendar. He knows of it. So he knows this month is about to come. What is this فضائل? What are the virtues in this month that the Prophet used to do? So I can benefit from it. These are the things you do in advance before the month of رمضان comes or any month in the calendar. Look what يمنو رجب الحمب. He says رحيمه الله in his book. In the مقدمة he says وجعل الله سبحانه وتعالى الله عز وجلا ميت لبعض الشهور فضلا. Allah made in some of the months virtues على بعض from the other months. Allah made virtues specifically for some months. كما قال تعالى عز الله سبحانه وتعالى في القرآن منها. This is the beginning of the ayah is From those 12 months are four months. Allah specifically chose. So this is to show you that the days are not all the same. So the months are not all the same. The days are not all the same. The nights are not all the same. Everything has virtue over the other. So now that this month is about to come. What days is the best of these days? What nights are the best of it? A person needs to know. The sheikh says كما جعل بعض الأيام والليالي أفضل من بعض. The way Allah has made some nights and some days better than others. وجعل ليلة القدر خيرا. And Allah made in the month of رمضان and night. That night is no night equal to it. Better than 1000 شهر. وقسم بالعشر. And Allah swt by the ten. In Surah Al-Fajr. The sheikh says. And these are the ten days of the الصحيح according to the most authentic view of the scholars. Because there's a key laugh. So the sheikh chose this view. This is to show you now that the month of رمضان is about to come. We as Muslims need to know each month of the Islamic calendar. These are the preparations that a person needs to take. The Messenger ﷺ narrated the حديث. Narrated by ألمام الطبرانيز معجم الكبير والأوسط والسغراء. And sheikh al-Nasr al-Din al-Albani رحمه الله. رحمة واسع. Authenticated in his Kitab صحيح الجامع. He said. The Messenger ﷺ said. إن لله في الله عز وجل هز في أيام the days. الدحر نفحات. Allah has openings in the days. What are these openings? In the days and in the months Allah has openings. Days he specifically chooses for the believers and say. Benefit from this day. I will give you this much reward in doing just this day. One of you may get hold of that day and be forgiven for many sins of what he has done. So how can you benefit from that day if you did not know of it? So it comes back to what? Knowing the مواصم and the فضائل and things that have come according to those days. When he did the Salaf of the Ummah it all comes back to one important thing is knowing the importance of time and days. Allah swore by time. والعصر. And then he said. إن للإنسان الى في خص إلا الذين آمن وعملوا الصالحات والتواسر بالحق والتواسر بالصبر. Allah swore by time. So something Allah swore by has a big importance. And Allah specifically chose the importance of time. Go to Imam Al-Fakhruddin Al-Razi. رحمه الله. He spoke about this and he extracted beautiful benefits out of the Surah Al-Asr. Very beneficial benefits. And Imam Al-Shafi' said. If Allah was to not send down on his servants except this Surah it would be sufficient in some of the wordings that have come from Imam Al-Shafi' So this is to show you قيمة الوقت and knowing how important time is and how important days are and knowing how important minutes are the believer اخواني doesn't live upon heedlessness and unaware of time. The Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم he said. نعمتان مغبون فيهما كثير من الناس السحة والفراغ Too نعمة. The people are unaware of. The word غبن means when somebody something in which he or she owned is taken from him and then it swapped for him something that's not valuable. As Allah mentioned in the Qur'an that one of the names of the day of judgment is called تغابن and the whole Surah in the Qur'an صورته تغابن ممعنة تغابن it's the same root of the word غبن اما علاق الإمام المقيم says don't say غبنه say غبن either way you say it is the same The word غبن means A person who something he or she owns is valuable somebody comes to you and you are a person who is just coming into a city you want to buy sell products so when you come to the city when it willing to sell the product what do you do somebody beats you outside the outskirts of the city and they take your product for you for a very cheap price when it like our religion prohibits that Now a person who's a man who lives outside the city nobody from the village can go outside and buy the things from here he has to come into the city see how much the trading is when it like that's what messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم ordered so this man somebody meets him outside his products cost high value and it's wanted in the country city but he hasn't yet come in somebody took it for him for a very very very cheap price when he comes into the city and he finds out that what he his products have been bought from him for a very low price how would he feel he'll feel like he lost today could have been a day he threw poverty off his shoulders this is how he feels like what happened i lost everything when he died and that's what happens to the people of the day of judgment غوبن means every individual له مقعدوط مقعدوط في الجنة everyone has a place in jannah and he has a place in the hellfire so when he goes to the hellfire عادن الله و إياكم منها may Allah protect each and everyone that's from from it when he goes to the jannah Allah will say to him هاد مقعدوط كفن نار this was your place in nahr فنجاك الله منها may Allah protect you from it so you feel happy so you won't feel that good the other one who goes to the hellfire who doesn't go to jannah who goes to hellfire and doesn't go to jannah when he sees his place in health in jannah and they say to him this could have been your place in jannah the the feeling he has that's what تغابن means so the people are like that with time they don't really know what it is and the power and the position it has there's nothing more valuable than time well when as the شاعر said و الوقت و أنفوا سماء عنيتة بخفضه و أراه أسلام عليك ياضير time is the most valuable thing 10 000 pounds if you lose you can earn it again yesterday will never come back so when a person wants to prepare for the month of ramadan one of the best ways to prepare is now set yourself a target set yourself organize your time make sure that you don't let time waste out from you the طالب عين the student of knowledge the normal individual no one plays around with time قال حسنة البصري and امام حسنة البصري رحمه الله I said as أبو النعيم الأصبهاني narrating his Kitab حلية للأولياء والطبقات للسفياء that he said ليس يوم يأتي من أيام الدنيا إلا يتكلم there is not a day from the days that come five the servant except the day will speak to you what will he say to you yeah you and us all people إني يوم جديد I am very little a new day وإني على ما يعمل فيه الشهين and I am one that observe what he's done to me وإني لو قد غربت الشم and if the sun sets on me the day speaking لم أرجع إليك I will never come back for you again so this is my opportunity benefit from me it presents itself to you and it tells you to benefit from it the people before إخواني they used to benefit from their time every split minute was valuable to them it was what valuable and they never used to let it go go by عمر ابن ذرن great Tabi'i that إمام ابن ذهبي ونصير علام النبلاء he says إمام حجة في خفضه متقن في فهمه حجة in his memorization and he was strong in his and understanding he says that he carry a call he says إعملوا لأنفسكم رحمكم الله or people work for yourselves if he had a lady in this night وسوادي and his darkness فإن المغبون من ومنا خير الليل والنهار the verily the person who's been fooled who lost it is the person who the night and the day comes by and he doesn't feel he doesn't benefit it والمحروم من حرما خيره ماء and the maharum a person is being prohibited from khair is the person who loses the khair of both of those days the day and the night the third benefit the third قاعدة the first third principle I want to mention is التمارين العزيمة والهما that the person exercises right now his will and his drive and we spoke a bit about it and we will mention some of it now الله سبحانه وتعالى he says about the hypocrites of the بلافقين who did not prepare for the battlefield but they when they the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم came they said يا رسول الله we wanted to be with you we wanted to participate the battle with you the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم الله سبحانه وتعالى about them in the Qur'an ولو أراد الخروج لا عد له عدة if they were people who wanted to go to the battlefield filled with you محمد لا عد له عدة they would have prepared a preparing for it لكن ولكن كريه اللههم بعاثهم فثبطهم وقيلق عدوا مع القاعدين so if they really were honest and true about their preparation they wanted to come to the battlefield then they would have prepared from it محمد وقيلق عدوا مع القاعدين is that if you really wanted to benefit from the month of ramadan لاستعت لها you would have taken the عدة the preparation for it now before it comes the person who says to you I will change when ramadan comes he is not a person who wants to benefit from ramadan ولي ذلك نبي الله يموسى عليه سلام he said to Allah وعاجل to إليك ربي الترضى Oh Allah I hastened to you so you can be pleased with me so that's how the believers are إخواني they hasten to the righteous actions and they don't don't they're not people who don't prepare ولي ذلك رمام البخاري narrated that the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم كان إذا بدأ الصلاة القيام when the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم he used to start his قيام الليل كان يفتح بركعتين خفيفتين he used to open with two rak'ats which was simple why is that preparation he used to prepare صلى الله عليه وسلم عليه he never just went into the qيام but he would prepare with two rak'ats simple so when the big صلاة comes which sometimes he صلى الله عليه وسلم used to read longsource he was prepared for it عليه صلى الله عليه وسلم and that's how the believer is a person who's always prepared who's always ready and anytime he's ready for a month like that so if a person claims to prepare for the month of رمضان but when we look at his actions we don't see him preparing then we know this person he has no عزيمة and he has no him before this month preparation is now before the month comes in you start to work on it one thing I want to clear is the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم صلى الله عليه وسلم قبل رمضان يجب أن يكون يوم before the month of رمضان that's not permissible except the person who used to fast four days or used to fast Mondays and Thursdays and the last day he hit it no problem he can do it but a person specifically choosing a day before the month before رمضان is not permissible so the preparation is that which I mentioned Insha'Allah وليداليكة the self of this أمه in which again I want to always connect your hearts to knowing these people and being like these people and looking at them let's take one example of how they were in terms of preparation and in terms of how they were serious towards their عبادات how they were towards the عبادات وليداليكة وهايب ابن ورد رحمه الله he said إن استطعت اللي يسبقك إلى الله يأحد ونفعل if you can try hard for nobody to preced you in please متى الله then try hard don't let anyone preced you in it that's what he said رحمه الله وقال الشيخ الشيخ شمس الدين محمد ابن عثمان تركساني رحمه الله ما بلغني أن أحد من الناس it has never reached me concerning an individual about his عبادة هي إلا تعبثت نظيرها except I worshiped Allah in equivalent to what that person did I never heard a person who done عبادة to a level except I tried to do as much as that person وزيته عليه sometimes I would increase over that person and beat him وقال أحد العباد some of the worshippers from Allah سبحانه وتعالى he said لو أن رجنا سمع برجن if a man was to hear of another man or a woman was to hear of another woman هو أطوع لله من هو who is more humble and more obedient to Allah than him فما تدالك الرجل غمه ما كان دالك بكثير and that person he died out of pain and agony then that person would not be dying for something big or something small for something big he didn't die for something big there's more he could have done meaning if a person precede you in righteous actions and then you sat down and you just became مغموم that he said that the self used to say that that person who precede you in that action for you to die because you were very sadden about that and that you didn't reach that point then you did not die for something very big نعم نافع who was the Mola of Abdullah ibn Umar رضي الله تعالى عنه he said when he was asked what did Abdullah ibn Umar used to do in his house how was he like in his house he says الوضوء لكل صلاة every Salah ibn Umar he used to do وضوء for it والمصحف و فيما بينهما and he used to open the مصحف in between every Salah so when he prayed ضور in between ضور and acid he reduced to read صلاة القرآن اصر to مغرب and this is to all of it he would read it وكان يمنو عمر إذا فاتته صلاة الجماعة if صلاة الجماعة والباسب صام يوم when he would fast a day in punishment of himself واعتق رقبه and he would free a neck of a servant this is how it was أصامة ابن زيدي رضي الله تعالى the great companion now أصامة ابن حلابن sorry the تابع he said كان يمن يرى سفيان الثوري any one of you who is to see that like to see سفيان الثوري رحمه الله يراه كأنه في سفينة you he was as though a person who was on a ship or a boat نعم يخاف الغرق and he was scared of drowning like the person who's scared of drowning how would you call unto Allah he will not leave anything behind a person who knows death is about to come to him and he's about to die the way he begs unto Allah is very much and this is how he was when he asked Allah for things مغيرة ابن حكيم in he said I met Fatima بتعبد الملك Fatima بتعبد الملك ابن عبد الملك was a king her brother was or a wali he was the إمיר المؤمن in her father abd mille kim number one her brother سليمان ابن عبد ملك was a was a and her husband عمر ابن عبد العزيز خليفة الخامس was her husband was a wali so she was around a family of leadership look what she said يا مغيرة when she was talking to her nephew she said قدي يكون من الرجال من هو أكثر سلاة وصيام من عمر ابن عبد العزيز there could be those whose prayer and his worshiping was more من عبد العزيز. يمكن أن يكونون. يمكن أن يكونون في عبادة وصلاة وطعات. يمكن أن يكونون. ولكنني ولكنني. لم أرى من الناس اعادي نقصي من الناس. قطن هؤلاء هذا الناس. كان أشد خوفا من ربيه. دعفيد الله موذن من عبد العزيز. لم أرى ما قلت. إذا دخل البيت إذا كنت في المنزل القاة نفسه في مسجده. أنا عبيدة ابن عقبة. أدخل فاطم بتعمل عبد الملك. ويأخبرتها عن عمر ابن عبد العزيز. قال لي أنه أعلم أنه يتصل من الجنابة. أنه يوجد من الجنابة. أمن عبد العزيز. أنه يوجد الجنابة. ينزل منها. ها ولاحتلام ويجيب منذ استخلفة. عندما يجيب للمنزل. فهي فعل خليفة. لا أعلم بعد ذلك. هل يوجد الجنابة. أو هل يوجد إحتلام. هذا يمكنك أن أعطيك كيف يتحدث عن رحمه الله. كل هذه الأسفل. سأخبركم. أخبرتها من بك. سيرا أعلام النبلاء. الإمام الذهب رحمه الله. في ترجمة عمر ابن عبد العزيز. أحمد ابن حرب رحمه الله. قال يا عجب فسيناشن. لمن يعرف أن الجنة تتزين فوقه. المخلص الذي يعرف أن الجنة ينزل منه. ويأخبرتها عن المنزل. ويأخبرتها. ويأخبرتها. ويأخبرتها. ويأخبرتها. الجنة يستخدم لأجزين. كيف ينامون بينهم أني هل يمثل بينهم؟ الأعطان الجنة ينزل من أساس. ويأخبرتها من who is. أعطيك عمر ابن عبد عزيز. وكيف ينامو العين وهي قريراتهم؟ ولم تدري في أي المحلين ينزلونك؟ كيف يجب أن تجيب لأموره؟ لكنها ليس إدائها في أين ستكون؟ أفريقهم في الجنة وفريقهم في السعير. والله يدي قاعد للجنة. ويوجدها على المدرس. لا يعرف من يكون يوما؟ انه سيكون عثمان ابن عفان الرضي الله تعالى عد هاني مولى عثمان هاني was a slave boy of عثمان معفان he said كان عثمان إذا قام على قبر بك حتى يابل لحيتة if عثمان stood over a grave he would cry until his beard would filled up with tears فقيل له تذكروا جنة والنار فلا تبكي the jannah and the night is mentioned and you don't cry و تذكروا القبر and the hellfire is mentioned فتبكي you cry حتى يابل لحيتك until your beard is filled up with tears and then he said I heard the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم and say anyone who makes it through the grave and makes it safe and sound through the grave for very everything that comes after it he will make it through it safe and sound so this is the first stage I heard the messenger say القبر أول منازلة the cover is the first stage of the hereafter anyone who makes it through for very he or she would make it through the stage after so a person إخواني who has the opportunity to come to this great month to benefit from this great month have Allah to forgive him for the great sins that we've committed مامين عبدين إلا و يذنب there's no servant except he does them and our ذوب and the معارس in the sins that we do brothers they're not very small we do very big sins we want Allah to forgive us سبحانه وتعالى and have mercy upon us as the وجل if that's the case this great month is coming your way for benefit from it the شاعر said and the شاعر he said a talking about a person should follow the righteous people اي لم تكونوا مثلهم فتشبه اي نتشبه بالكرام فلاحو if you cannot be like the righteous people then imitate them be like them act like them for very following and copying the people of righteousness إخواني is of خير the last point I want to mention of this إن شاء الله is to remember brothers not to sit with the people who are not going to benefit especially this great month of Ramadan so now one of the preparation you put into places who are you going to hang around with this great month who are you going to sit down with الله says to the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم وصبر نفسك مع الذين يدعون ربهم بالغادات والعشي يريدون وجها ولا تعد عيناك عنهم تريد زينة الحياة الدنيا ولا تطعما أغفلنا قلبه عن ذكرنا والتبع هوا وكان أمره فرطا الله أودد the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم to become patient patient with what and with who وصبر نفسك مع الذين يدعون ربهم with the people who are calling onto their Lord بالغادات والعشي in the afternoon in the morning in the night time these are the people who are calling onto Allah so Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم be patient with these people patient in what way hang around with them don't look at Quraysh who have got money who've got wealth everyone likes them don't look at them Allah loves these little companions that are around you people see them small and little but in the eyes of Allah they're heavy and they're big and they're strong you've got Amar ibn Yasir he's got Bilal and these people in the eyes of the normal community there were nothing but in the eyes of Allah that is what matters Allah said be patient with those people so you as a believer should be the same be patient with the believers especially this great month when the month of Ramadan comes benefit from these people don't be from those who Allah says who sit with the people who are not righteous and in the day of judgment they say they say وكان الشيطان للإنسان خذولا the prophet SAW says that person will bite onto these fingers not a finger not one not his enamel Allah says fingers so he puts all his fingers in his mouth من بابي this shows من بابي المبالغة مبالغة في الأسروب والكلام meaning the person is going to become so scared and so frightened that day he will put all his fingers in his mouth and then he will say why did I not leave this individual and not hang around with him and hang around with so and so who would have benefited me but then he regrets it that day for not hanging around with the righteous people it's a day as they say crying over spilled milk doesn't matter it's too late now he's not he's standing in front of Allah and he's being questioned and he's destruction and everything is from these people the people who who follow people who don't benefit them this month don't sit with those who are going to joke a lot too much those people are going to waste time those people are going to watch television those people are going to listen to music those people are not going to come to the tarawih except when they feel like it those people all the month of Ramadan is don't eat and this is not what the truth is الله اللي سلاح حاجة انتدع طعامك وشرابك الله does not need you to leave food and drink away the reality of fasting is more than just leaving food it's a month where we get our rewards up we stay away from our شهوات bigger than our food and everything else our شهوات we leave our desires and everything and we put our next down for الله سبحانه و تعالى and we benefit from that I ask Allah سبحانه و تعالى as the time is short and we have nothing we've got slightly more to mention but insha'Allah ما قل و دق anything that is small but it gets to the point is better then what is much and it doesn't get there anything I have said that is wrong is from me and shaytan and he Allah and his messenger verily are free from it سبحانك الله و بحمدك أشدوا الله إلا الله أستغفرك و أطوب إلي
