 السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته إذا كنت تحب شخصاً رمضان بشكل رائعاً سأتكلم هذا المنزل يمكنك أن تساعدنا بشكل رائعاً في amu.org المؤسسة التي سنكلم today is as follows my brother is sick and we fear this may be his last Ramadan what are the best things for him to do to get near to Allah in this month الحمد لله رب العالمين والصلاة والسلام على عبد الله ورسوله نبينا محمد وعلى آله وصحبه أجمعين لتسطأ بأسكي الله سبحانه وتعالى اللهم رب الناس أده بالبأس إشفي وأنت الشافي لا شفاء إلا شفاءك شفاء لا يغادر سقمة والله Lord of mankind make this sickness go away cure and you are the cure there is no cure except your cure a cure that leaves no sickness and I would also like to advise the family of the brother in question about a hadith that is narrated from عبد الله بن عباس رضي الله عنهما أنه قال said that whoever visits is sick person and that sick person hasn't yet reached the end it hasn't reached yet been decreed that they will pass away from that sickness and they say when they are with them seven times I ask Allah أسأل الله العظيم رب العرش العظيم I ask Allah the most great lord of the great throne to cure you except that Allah will cure that person from that sickness so this is from the etiquettes that we would advise the family that when you visit this particular brother may Allah give him that doesn't leave any sickness behind that they should say seven times أسأل الله العظيم رب العرش العظيم and they should put their trust in Allah سبحانه وتعالى and they should hope for his for his cure to come and I would also advise the sick person and I would also advise their family from the hadith about mother Aisha رضي الله عنهما and the hadith is in the Bukhari and Muslim that she said أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم أرادها على نفسه بالمعوذات ومسحا عنه بيده the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم when he became sick he would blow the معوذات قل أعوذ برب الفلاق قل أعوذ برب الناس in some generations قل هو الله أحد he would blow into his hands like this he would recite them and blow and then he would wipe over himself he would wipe over himself this is one of the means of seeking a cure through the Quran so these are all things that we would advise the sick person to do as it relates to their sickness and for their family to give consideration to give consideration to and I also think it's appropriate with a question like this that a person reflects upon the statement of Allah عز و جل وعبد ربك حتى يأتيك اليقين worship your Lord until that which is certain comes to you and that which is certain is death death is certain to come to me it's certain to come to you and there is no guarantee that I will live longer than the brother that is mentioned in that question سبحان الله how wonderful is it that Allah reminds us of what will happen to us that Allah عز و جل reminds his servant that his servant is going to die that is something that all of us are a reality we understand and none of us want to be from those people who we are seized suddenly and we never had any chance to turn back to Allah and we didn't have any chance to repent so a person should not feel sad when they receive some news like that but they should see the opportunity that Allah عز و جل has reminded you that you have to make changes and do actions and worship Allah عز و جل and repent and turn to him and Allah has reminded you of what will happen to every single person and it's also true that the sick person should be happy and should be content they should be happy and they should be content that if they were regular in worshiping Allah عز و جل before they became sick then that benefit will continue for them and that is narrated from a حديث of أبي موسى العشري رضي الله عن the messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم و العبد أو سافر كتب الله تعالى لهم من الأجري مثل ما كان يعملوا صحيحا مقيمة حديث بخاري that if a person becomes sick or they travel Allah عز و جل will write for them the rewards as the same as what they used to do when they were healthy and resident so in sha Allah و تعالى there are so many reasons to take hope and to feel confidence and in sha Allah to be ready to take the opportunity that Allah سبحانه و تعالى has given you in relation to this in relation to this sickness and Ramadan is a particular opportunity for this it was beautiful the way the question was worded about asking that if this is the person's last Ramadan what advice would we give to them Ramadan is a huge opportunity أبي هوريرا narrated from the messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم كان أول ليلة من شهر رمضان صفدت الشياطين ومردت الجن وغلقت أبواب النار فلم يفتح منها بابن he said that when the first night of Ramadan comes the shayateen and the obstinate devils among the jinn are chained up and the doors of the fire are closed and not a single gate is open وفتحت أبواب الجنة فلم يغلق منها باب the doors of paradise are wide open and not a single door of them is closed وينادي منادن and a caller calls out يباغي الخير أقبل or doer of good come forward ويباغي الشر أقصر or doer of evil desist ولله أتقاء من النار وذلك كل ليلة and Allah has people that he frees from the fire and that is every single night look at the opportunities the doors of paradise are open the doors of the fire are closed the shayateen are chained every person who wishes good has an opportunity to do good and everyone who wishes evil has an opportunity to stop and desist and Allah is the one who frees people from the fire in this month and that is the single night from the nights of Ramadan so we want the person to appreciate the huge opportunity that they have in this month of Ramadan and as for the deeds that the person should be doing in this month or the deeds that we would recommend in this month and in reality this is a question that would benefit every Muslim because ultimately all of us should behave as though this is our last Ramadan all of us should feel as though so what specific advice first of all generally speaking I would always advise that the acts of worship that Allah has made easy for you and what Allah has opened your heart to be able to do with ease you should continue those and keep them going because they are from the most beloved of the deeds to Allah those regular consistent deeds that Allah has given you the ability to do but as for what it relates in the month of Ramadan then I would recommend that you go through the daily droplets series that we have with and there are benefits mentioning deeds and actions that are specific to Ramadan Ramadan is the month of forgiveness and so on lots of different things in there that you can take and insha'Allah from the courses that we've put upon Ramadan where you can insha'Allah benefit but I'm just going to summarize or perhaps 5 points the first one is taking yourself to account and this is from the best things that a person can do in Ramadan or you who believe have taqwa of Allah and let every one of you look at what you put forward for tomorrow let the person look at this let the person take themselves to account look at their deeds look at themselves accountable before Allah takes them to account and make istighfar and tauba this is the month of forgiveness a month where there are a multitude of opportunities for forgiveness and tauba and this is from the most important things from the things that a person should be careful of in Ramadan if they are able is the fasting if they are too sick to be able to fast and it's not hope that they will get better then the person can feed who are people half asar as we've mentioned in some of the other questions in the other videos there's a question on the topic of sickness that I had answered previously so you can refer to that in a bit more detail and fasting and the prayer are extremely important because the Prophet ﷺ told us whoever fast a month of Ramadan with iman and hoping in the reward of Allah then their sins in this month will be all their sins that they had done previously will be forgiven and likewise the standing in the prayer whoever stands the night of al qadr with iman and ihtisab iman and hoping in the reward of Allah they will have their sins forgiven and laylatul qadr is a wonderful opportunity until now while this video is coming out we haven't gone into the last 10 days of Ramadan there is an opportunity still there for you to look for laylatul qadr in whatever way you can do according to your health to look for laylatul qadr that is a night in which it is better than 1000 months it's better than 1000 months that's better than 83 years and so many months of worship سبحان الله a lifetime's worth of worship you can do in one night and we don't know when laylatul qadr is and you shouldn't be fooled by the people who they only go out on one night rather look for it in all of the 10 nights of Ramadan because sometimes the odd night can become even and the even night can become odd so you should look for it in all of the last 10 nights of Ramadan in the hope that you will get 83 years worth of worship in a single night from the things I would highly recommend is the recitation of the Quran thinking about it and remembering Allah as the وجل this is the month of the Quran I used to revise the Quran with Gabriel so reciting the Quran thinking about it, reflecting upon it remembering Allah سبحانه وتعالى and Ramadan is the month of du'a our mother Aisha رضي الله عنها she narrated that she said to the Prophet ﷺ do you think that if I am successful to stand in the night of laylatul qadr to know which night is laylatul qadr or to be present worshipping Allah during laylatul qadr ما أدعو what du'a should I make the Prophet ﷺ said to her قولي اللهم إنك عفوهن تحب العفو فعفو عني you are the one who is the pardons the most and you love to pardons so pardon me and this shows that Ramadan is a month of du'a and likewise it is a month of الصدقة and الجود والكرم and the Prophet ﷺ encouraged that a person feeds the poor a person gives food to those who are needy a person helps other people to break their fast and there are even narrations in this regard with regard to the sick person داو مرضاكم بالصدقة treat your sick people with صدقة so Ramadan is also the month of صدقة and I want to conclude with a point that I think many people miss and it is a really really important statement from Abdullah ibn Mubarak رحمه الله تعالى the great Imam that he was a man came to him and he asked him he said أنك تموت العشية فماذا أنت صانع قال أقوم وأطلب العلم حتى يأتي الممات أمان ستعبد الله بمموارك if Allah revealed to you that you are going to die in this evening what would you do he said I would get up and go and seek knowledge until the moment the death came to me and that is why I also believe from the most important things you can do is to seek knowledge and this advice and this answer is indeed for everyone because all of us should feel like this might be our last Ramadan and we ask Allah to give this brother a complete shifa and that's what Allah made easy for me to mention and Allah knows best أعلى نبينا محمد وعلى آله وصحبه أجمعين
