 السلام عليكم ورحمة الله ورحمضان مبارك رمضان مبارك رمضان كريم السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته على all of you نحن في الثلاثة نهاية رمضان ونحن علينا أن نتذكر نفسنا أنه بعد نهاية 27 سنة لا يبدو أن كله يذهب من هنا لأن الشراء الله ورحمه الله يسلم وقلوبوه في العشل اواخر تريده في الثلاثة نهاية رمضان وانتظر أنه يوم 27 سنة وانتظر أن يوم 27 سنة فهي يوم 27 سنة وما تفعله؟ فكذا أنت تستخدم熱ة لديك فكذا أنت تستخدم熱ة لديك فكذا أنت تواصل حقا من الد هنا تواصل حقا من الد هنا فكذا أنت تتواصل حقا من الد here هذا هو الشراء الله ورحمه الله يسيح نفسه وعنها عشان يدعه وكذلك يدعه وعن الثلاثة يضعه وكذلك يضعه وكذلك يضعه ولكننا يترها كل ورحمة في الثلاثة وel especially لأننا لدينا الده الخيش بين the side في براءة. لذا كل night is an odd night. فطلبوها في العشل هواخر. Seek it out in the last 10 nights every night. كل ليلة ليلة القضر. Every night is ليلة القضر. And the next person you meet is سيدنا الخضر. Right? That's the next person you meet. So this is what we learned from God's chosen people, the Sudanese. For they say that. Right? Every night is ليلة القضر. And the next person you meet is سيدنا الخضر. السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته. الله سبحانه وتعالى says just camel backing on what Imam Zaid just mentioned that we are the ummah that reflects on the Qur'an. Do they not think deeply? Do they not celebrate the Qur'an? Or is it that some hearts are yet under their own class blocks? Right? And so let us release our hearts this evening, let us reflect together especially on a night as momentous as tonight. الله سبحانه وتعالى says in his majestic book إنه أنزلناه في ليلة القضر. وما أدراك ما ليلة القضر. ليلة القضر خير من الفشهر. تنزل من ملائكة وضروف فيها بإذن ربهم من كل عمر. سلام. هي حتى مضرع الفجر. الله سبحانه وتعالى says إنه أنزلناه في ليلة القضر. و this is the pronoun of Grandor. This is the pronoun of power and Grandor. We sent it down on ليلة القضر. We sent it down. What is it? It doesn't refer to anything. There's nothing. There's no verse in which the Qur'an was mentioned and yet it is without need of introduction. So Allah سبحانه وتعالى says we sent it down on ليلة القضر. لا أعرف ما هو ، لا يوجد أجهزة عنه ، نحن نضعه و هذا one of the ways that Allah gives that He venerates His book that He lends honor to the book by not even introducing it. The Qur'an right, the Qur'an came down and we sent it on Laylat Al-Qadr. No. Allah doesn't say that. The Qur'an. The Qur'an brought the Qur'an to the Prophet ﷺ and we sent it down by the way on Laylat Al-Qadr. No. There's no reference to the Qur'an because its reputation precedes itself. Everyone understands that it refers to the Qur'an. This is one of the ways that Allah has honored the book by not even repeating but كلا إذا بلغة الحلقوم. Allah says. كلا إذا بلغة الحلقوم. ني when it reaches the throat. This is in certain Waqaa and there's no context for it. When it reaches the throat. What is it? The روح. The soul. On its way out of the body. And so sometimes Allah سبحانه وتعالى will not even mention what He's talking about in order to, in order to, because it's without need of mention. إنه أنزلناه في Laylat Al-Qadr. On Laylat Al-Qadr. Now this is incredible because it's the first time that Laylat Al-Qadr is mentioned and for the Prophet ﷺ and the companions. It's the first time they've even heard of something called Laylat Al-Qadr. Right? We sent it down on Laylat Al-Qadr. So what is Laylat Al-Qadr? Just imagine. Just imagine if this is the first time that you've been, you've heard this verse. Indeed, we sent it down on Laylat Al-Qadr. There's no context. It's from a vacuum. It's literally out of thin air. Indeed, we sent it down on Laylat Al-Qadr. Wait. What is we? Who is we? And what is it? And what is Laylat Al-Qadr? Right? You have all these questions already from the very beginning. The suspense that is created just from the very first verse. Indeed, we know what Laylat Al-Qadr is. What is Laylat Al-Qadr? It's the night that the Qur'an was first written. But we all know that because we've been taught. But the companions, this is the first time they've heard it. The Quffar. It's the first time they've heard it. The Prophet ﷺ. First time he's heard it. By the way. By the way. إكرع. By the way. By the way. By the way. By the way, Yarasoolullah, those 5 verses. Yarasoolullah. They were revealed to you on Laylat Al-Qadr. It's the first time the Prophet ﷺ heard it. He didn't hear what Laylat Al-Qadr is. But yet, Allah SWT speaks about it. As though it's known. It's a definite. Through Adafar. ونحن نحن معلم قدر. تبدو أنك لا تعلم ما it is، لكن هذا لا يعني أنه لا يعلم. أنت لا تعلم ما it is، أنت لا تفهم ما it is، but that doesn't mean that it's not known to its people. ومن who are its people at that time? The angels. They all have been waiting for Laylat and Qadr. من the very beginning of creation they've been waiting for Laylat and Qadr. من the very beginning of creation they've been waiting for Laylat and Qadr. لأن the world came into existence from non-existence for Laylat and Qadr. For the sake of Laylat and Qadr. You don't believe me. Some of you are looking at me like you don't believe me. الله سبحانه وتعالى says الرحمن علما القرآن خلق الإنسان. The Lord of Compassion. He taught the Qur'an. And that begs a question, does it not? He taught the Qur'an. What's the question that begs? That's beg. To whom? Right? To whom? Right? That's the question that begs. الله الرحمن he taught the Qur'an. To whom? خلق الإنسان. Now we know why the insan was created. To receive the teaching of the Qur'an. So from the very beginning. The teaching of the Qur'an had to be received. And so man was created to receive that teaching. The entire world was created for Laylat and Qadr to come to arrive. And so it was known to the angels. It was known to its people. And this was the first time that the Prophet ﷺ and the companions had ever even heard of it. Laylat and Qadr. And I can't even translate it for you. The night of Al Qadr. You can't translate Al Qadr. Because it means different things. And look at this beautiful verse. وما أدراكما ليلة and Qadr. And what will make you fa'adam Laylat and Qadr. What will make you fa'adam Laylat and Qadr. اللو واك با. Whom is addressed in this verse? The Ummah? What will make you fa'adam Laylat and Qadr. What will make you understand Laylat and Qadr. Is the Ummah addressed in this verse? Who is addressed in this verse? وما أدراكما ليلة and Qadr. Who is addressed? Who is you? Who is you? Humans? All of the people? The Ummah? رسول الله يسلم الله عليه والسلم. It's singular masculine. وما أدراكما ليلة and Qadr. When we say السلام عليك. We say we're saying that to one person. One man. Because of the Ka. وما أدراكما ليلة and Qadr. What does that mean? الله سبحانه وتعالى is asking the Prophet. What will make you fa'adam Laylat and Qadr. The Prophet is being asked that question. What will make you يا رسول الله. Fa'adam Laylat and Qadr. اللو واك با. And the Prophet ﷺ he was the only witness to Laylat and Qadr. He was the only one there. He was the only one who could explain to us what Laylat and Qadr was. In fact, he came to Khadija and he explained to her what happened. So what will make you يا رسول الله. Fa'adam Laylat and Qadr. And then who is asking the question? Allah is asking the question. If there's anything that can make the Prophet ﷺ. Fa'adam Laylat and Qadr. Allah would have given it to him. But Allah سبحانه وتعالى in this beautiful verse. The second verse of سوت and Qadr. He is using the language of wonderment and amazement. To express the greatness of Laylat and Qadr. And he's asking the Prophet ﷺ. What will make you Fa'adam Laylat and Qadr. Allah is using the language of wonder. Wonder. So that the Prophet ﷺ can just imagine. What Laylat and Qadr is. What will make you يا رسول الله. Fa'adam it. And he was the only one there. And then Allah سبحانه وتعالى doesn't even tell us what Laylat and Qadr is. So the Mufassirun said. Laylat and Qadr is the night of constriction. Why constriction? And when Allah test man. And Qadr عليه رسقه. Constricts his sustenance for him. Constricts. Qadr. Constricts. His sustenance for him. He says. He says. My Lord has abased me. So it's the night of constriction. Why? Because all of the angels descend. And they ascend in Laylat and Qadr. And there's no room. The traffic is too much. The angelic traffic. Coming into the earth is too much. Like you're going to kiss the black stone. And you have a waves of people coming out. And you're trying to go in. That's constriction. And that's what's happening in the angelic pathways. Between the earth and the angelic realm above. So it's the Laylat of constriction. But then they said no. It's the night of power. Power. In Allah Qadir. Allah سبحانه وتعالى is powerful. And Qadr is from power. And it's the power. The sheer power of Sayyidina Jibril عليه السلام. When he seized the Prophet ﷺ. And he covered the Prophet ﷺ. Until the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was about to breathe his last. حتى ظلغ من الجهد. ثم أرسلني. And then he left me. He released me. Right? So the Prophet ﷺ was brought to three near death experiences consecutively. From the sheer power of the angel. The one who is possessed of great strength taught him. And that's Jibril. The angels aren't these little fairies that you can just flick off your shoulder like this. Right? These aren't angels. They're not our angels. That's for sure. They're not our angels. Trying to get people to fall in love with one another. Just shooting the arrows at people. And then they get married out of cupidity. Right? So these are not our angels. Right? Our angels have 600 wings. 600. Sayyidina Jibril عليه السلام. And there's two forms. He had 600 wings that the Prophet ﷺ saw. And he saw everywhere in the horizon. He said there was the angel filling up the entire horizon. Those are our angels. تنزل الملائكة فيها. No. So they said that it's the night of power. But then some of them said no. It's the night of destiny. It's the night of the decree of Allah. Because the decree comes into the angels. Bring down the decrees of Allah ﷻ for the coming year. And so this is the night of destiny. We don't even know how to translate. ليلة قدر. وما أطراكة ما ليلة قدر. What will make you fathom it? We don't even know how to translate it. We don't even know how to translate it. So what will make us fathom it? وما أطراكة ما ليلة قدر. And then some said. القدر is قيمة. ما قدر هذا الشيء. What is the value? What is the estimation of this thing? So it's the night of estimation and great value. In which the Qur'an of great value came down through the messenger of great value onto the heart of the messenger of great value to an ummah of great value. This is all the khasais of this ummah through its prophet ﷺ. So that's the night of immense value for Allah ﷻ. We don't know how to translate it. So how are we going to understand it? وما أطراكة ما ليلة قدر. And then Allah ﷻ says ليلة قدر خير من الفشار. The night of our قدر is better than a thousand months. A thousand months? Please bring out your calculators. What is a thousand months? It's like worshipping Allah for how long? 83 years. 83 years. 83 years. 83 years. And the lunar is 85. 85 lunar years. And our years are lunar. Are they not? 85 years. Isn't that incredible? Isn't that incredible? That whatever you do in this month for ladies and gentlemen. Whatever you do on ladies and gentlemen. It says though you have been doing it for 85 lunar years without sleep. Without distraction. Without anything. 85 lunar years. Right? You gave Sadaka for 85 lunar years. You prayed for 85 lunar years. Isn't that incredible? Isn't that incredible? No, it's not incredible at all. It's not. Because that's too little. 85 years is too little. 85 years is too little. And whoever told you that it's like 85 years has lied to you through his teeth. Lying to you too. Even whoever said it's like worshiping Allah for an entire lifetime. You liar. You lie. On the Book of Allah. You lie. You lie. You lie. Why? What does Allah سبحانه وتعالى say? He says it's better than a thousand months. He doesn't say it's equal to a thousand months. He said it surpasses a thousand months. And a thousand is the biggest number that the Arabs had. Is it not? A thousand is the biggest number that the Arabs had. They had million and billion and billion. And these numbers they didn't have that. They're counting sheep and camels. That's what they're counting. How many? They're counting sheep and camels. And so what is their million? What is a million? What is a million? It's a thousand thousands. But you're not going to get a bigger number than a thousand. And Allah سبحانه وتعالى He says it surpasses that. And when Allah says it surpasses that it's beyond. Like سيام itself. Fasting itself. The angels don't even know how to record it. Allah سبحانه وتعالى He says In the Hadith كل عمل ابني عدمة له إلا السيام فإنه لي وانا أزبي All of the deeds belong to the children of Adam except for fasting. That belongs to me and I reward for it personally. I reward for it personally. So the angels don't even know how to record it. They say just need this. How do we record this? Allah says Don't worry about it. I got it. That's on me. That's on me. I reward for that personally. Don't worry. It's not your concern. That's between me and my slave. And so that's the same Lord. This is the same Lord who then tells us that ليلة القدر surpasses a thousand months. And when Allah says it surpasses Don't even think about a thousand lifetimes. It's immeasurable. Not one lifetime. Your Lord is much more bountiful than that. Much more bountiful than rewarding you for just one lifetime. Much more gracious than that. Allah doesn't withhold from us and say This night I'll give it to you as though you lived 85 years. Right? No. Much more bountiful. تنزل الملائكة و الروح فيها بإذن ربهم من now. And they descend the angels and the spirit by the permission of their Lord on every affair. Every errand. Every command. The angels and the spirit. اللهم أكبر. That they descend. And Allah سبحانه وتعالى says in a verse that سيدنا الجبير العليه السلام confessed to the Prophet ﷺ after the revelation of سلطة دوحة. After the revelation of the Prophet ﷺ the Prophet ﷺ has said because دوحة came it was the surah of consolation to the Prophet ﷺ after six months according to Imam Bayaki of silence in the skies no revelation for six months and the Prophet ﷺ fell into a state of fear that he has displeased Allah fallen into the disfavor with his Lord and so سيدنا جبير العليه السلام brings down surah to دوحة to console the blessed heart of the Prophet ﷺ after which he said to سيدنا جبير قد اشتقنا إليكم that we've missed you we've missed you جبير عيسلام confessed to him ونحن إليك أشواق that our yearning is more than yours our yearning for you is more than yours ولكن ما حبسني إلا أمر ربك he says but the only thing that withheld me from you was the command of your Lord ما حبسني إلا أمر ربك the only thing that withheld me from you was the command of your Lord and then he gave him this verse ومانة تنزل وإلا بأمر ربك we do not descend except by the command of your Lord you guys got that? so what do we read in certain قدر تنزل الملائكة وروحة فيها بإذن ربهم من كل أمر the angels and the spirit descend therein by the permission of their Lord with every affair any difference between the two? any difference here between the two? I'll say it again ومانة تنزل وإلا بأمر ربك we do not descend except by the command of your Lord تنزل الملائكة وروحة فيها بإذن ربهم من كل أمر the angels and the spirit descend therein by the permission of their Lord with every affair any difference? somebody said it command and permission exactly so the other verse said we do not descend except by the command of your Lord certain قدر doesn't say command it says permission of their Lord which implies what? what does that imply about the angels' descent that they sought permission that they ask Allah they plead with Allah and let us descend allow us to go into the earth to be among them to celebrate with them the anniversary between the terrestrial and the celestial between when the messenger of Allah first beheld the messenger of Allah when the Prophet ﷺ first laid eyes on Jibreel and when Jibreel first laid eyes on the Prophet ﷺ let us be there on the night that commemorates this incredible union between Jibreel and the Prophet ﷺ when the Prophet ﷺ was most excited throughout the entire year he was most excited about Ramadan why? سيدنا عبدالله بن عباسد كان رسول الله ﷺ أجود الناس وكان أجود ما يكونوا في رمضان حين يلقاهوا Jibreel في يدارسوا القرآن the messenger of Allah ﷺ was the most generous of all people and he was at his most generous in Ramadan when Jibreel would come to him and so he would recite the Qur'an with him so he was so excited every Ramadan that Jibreel would come to him every single night of Ramadan just to review all of the verses that had been revealed up until that point for the Prophet ﷺ it was this quality time now that he had with Sayyidina Jibreel it was beautiful it was beautiful and so the angels want to be here among us on that night when the entire earth is celebrating they want to be with us celebrating along with us witnessing these gatherings witnessing our supplication and our prayer witnessing all of that partaking with us and praying for us seeking for Allah's forgiveness for on our behalf now I'm seeking Allah's forgiveness on our behalf what a gift that he has given to this ummah and so the angels sensitize your hearts to their presence for they are present among us they are here with us now witnessing this and asking for forgiveness and Allah SWT answered the forgiveness of the angels and they cover us with their wings that's why there is peace here tonight up until the heavens above this is the promise of the Prophet ﷺ and the promise of the Prophet ﷺ is true and Allah SWT says what is the Ruh what is the Ruh so they said that the Ruh one of the understandings of the Ruh is that it is this immense creature from which Adam ﷺ received his Ruh so that's the way to who it is this angelic being that is the source for the arwah of Bani Adam that after I have fashioned him and breathed into him of my Ruh and bowed down and prostrate before him and then others said no the Ruh is the compassion of Allah لا تفنط من روح الله don't despair of the compassion of Allah so the compassion of Allah descends with the angels this is the night in which Allah's compassion descends others said no the Ruh is the Quran itself إن أحينا إليك روحا من أمرنا we have revealed to you a Ruh from our very own command so the Quran itself descends into the world the angels bring the Quran itself into the world on لينة القدر still others said the Ruh is عيسة عليه السلام سيدنا عيسة عليه السلام and I'm going to mention this in your presence if you give me permission you can't even say Jesus in this man's presence without asking permission right عليه السلام it descends with the angels to check on the Ummah of the Prophet every Laylat and Qadr عيسة عليه السلام like what will make us fathom what this night is we don't even know what the Ruh is or Qadr and then still others said the Ruh is سيدنا جبريل عليه السلام فأرسلنا إليها روحنا فتمثل الله أبشن ونصوية so we sent to her our Ruh and he embodied a man in every respect right سيدنا جبريل like the angels and سيدنا جبريل well wait a minute does that make sense the angels descend and جبريل descends on every affair with the permission of their Lord does that make sense to say the angels and جبريل that doesn't make sense does it does that make sense the angels descend and جبريل doesn't make sense doesn't make sense الله سبحانه وتعالى إنسورة الرحمن فيها فاكية ونخلن ورمان but it has fruits جملة has fruits and it has date palms and pomegranates it has fruits and date palms and what pomegranates the angels descend therein and جبريل he's the pomegranates of the angels right so the fruits and don't think about bananas, apples, pears you know these you know the everyday fruits no pomegranates pomegranates so the angels all descend and جبريل himself جبريل himself descends with them right by the permission of the Lord on every affair سلام and when you stop and when you stop and let that marinate a little bit on the hearts سلام for the Prophet ﷺ said that for the first three days in Jannah the only thing that people will be able to say is سلام سلام peace wholeness soundness we finally wholeness we're whole right we're not broken anymore the dunya broke us here we are whole right سلام and so it's a piece of Jannah on earth so the only thing that we experience is سلام سلام هي حتى مطرع الفجر that the night will will abide that this all of this will abide right and will endure until the rise of more until the rise of more اللهم صلى الله عليه وسلم و بارك على سيدنا محمد و علاقى عليه وسلم if tonight be ladies and gentlemen we pray that Allah ﷻ find us striving searching pursuing aspiring in a state of aspiration with our Lord in a state of yearning for our Lord in a state of be teaching our Lord on a night just like this and tonight may be your ليلة القدر it may be your moment with Allah ﷻ it may be your your few precious prayers that you feel tonight more than any other night and so this may be your personal ليلة القدر with Allah ﷻ و ما أدراكم right and so let us give honour to this night و من يعد من شعائر الله فإنها من تقوى القلوب ever venerates the symbols of Allah ﷻ that is from the fear of Allah that is in the hearts and ladies and gentlemen is one of these symbols of Allah ﷻ و ذكرهم بي سيون الله and remind them of the days of Allah this is one of the days of Allah this is one of the nights of Allah in the days of Allah ﷻ سبحانه وتعالى و هل الله سبحانه وتعالى not turn us away deprive from Ramadan and the hole thing about Ramadan is that Ramadan was not for the sake of Ramadan. The month of Ramadan is not for the month of Ramadan. It's a pillar of this Deen without which the entire Deen collapses. These 30 days they act as a pillar of this religion and any pillar, any pillar if it gives way the entire edifice collapses. So it is a pillar of this Deen and so Ramadan is not for Ramadan. شهر رمضان الذي انزل فيه القرآن. The month of Ramadan is the month in which the Qur'an was brought down. The month of Shawwal is not the month in which the Qur'an is taken back up. وصلى الله عليه وسلم وبارك على سيد محمد وعلى آله وصحبه وصلم تسيم الكثير وكثيرا سبحان ربك رب العزة عما يصفون وسلام على المرسلين والحمد لله رب العالمين صلى الله على محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم صلى الله على محمد عليه وسلم صلى الله عليه وسلم صلى الله عليه وسلم
