 وَأَقُولُ فِي القُرْآنِ مَا جَاءَتْ بِهِ آيَاتُوهُ فَهُوَ الْكَارِيمُ الْمُنْزَالُهُ وَأَقُولُ قَالَ اللَّهُ جَلَّ جَلَالُهُ وَالْمُصْطَافَ الْهَاديِ وَلَا أَتْ أَوْوَالُهُ الحمد لله رب العالمين له الحمد الحسن والثناء الجميل وأشد أن لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له وأشدو أن سيدنا ونبينا محمد صلى الله عليه وعليه وعلى آله وأصحابه والتابعين لهم بحسان إلى يوم الديل أما بعد أحبيني أخواتي وخواتي إن شاء الله تعالى سأبدأ سورة على سيارات والسيارات والسيارات من رمضان ما أنت ونحن يجب أن نفعله في رمضان الأحكام الذي يجب أن نفعله ونحن نفعله ما are the things that we are not allowed to do what are the things that nullify our fasting and manners that are in fasting those are the things that I am going to be إذن الله الكريم be discussing and tackling in this series إن شاء الله تعالى my series إن شاء الله تعالى is going to be 8 episodes with the introduction which will make it 9 so today إن شاء الله تعالى I am going to be doing the introduction and then after that it will be 9 sorry 8 episodes there will be 8 episodes after that إن شاء الله إن شاء الله تعالى I want to encourage all of you who are watching بإذن الله الكريم to take notes and write down the things that are going to be mentioned because بإذن الله الكريم this series is going to be very basic simple and easy the plan بإذن الله الكريم it is to give you the most essential things that you need to know about fasting and it is also to be given to you in a very short and summarized episode the episode إن شاء الله تعالى it shouldn't go beyond 30 minutes that is the plan إن شاء الله تعالى give us the strength and the ability to execute it in today's episode I am going to be speaking about or I am going to be doing the introduction in today's episode I am going to be doing the introduction and there are three things I want to speak about in today's introduction three points the first thing I want to speak about is what is fasting ما معن الصوم what is ما هو الصوم what is fasting fasting has a meaning in the Arabic language prior to Islam coming and the meaning that the Quran and the sunnah and the religion of Islam gave it those are the two definitions I am going to give the definition that it has and had in the Arabic language prior to Islam and also the meaning that it has within the religion the meaning of the word الصومو in the Arabic language is الإمساق الإمساق and الإمساق means to restrain it is to withhold and that is the meaning مريما used in the Quran the mother of Isa when she said إني نذرت للرحمان صومة فلن أكلم اليوم إنسية إني نذرت للرحمان صومة today I have made a nether an oath and a covenant with my lord إني نذرت للرحمان صومة to do what to do some what does she mean by some here she means to withhold and to restrain myself from speaking فلن أكلم اليوم إنسية she said I am not going to speak to anyone so the usage of the word الصومو in that ayah is the linguistic and the lexical usage according to the Arabs and what they meant by it the same is the usage of the pre-Islamic poet النابغة الدبياني when he said he said خيل صيام وخيل غير صائمة تحت العجاج وأخرى تعلق كل جمع some horses were galloping while others upon their bridles restrained so some horses were galloping and while others were bridled were upon their bridles and they were restrained so the last part is what concerns us he is saying that some of the horses were restrained with the bridles that were in their mouth the strips that were in the mouth of the horse they were restrained with that so the word he used here is what خيل صيام وخيل غير صائمة some horses were galloping and they had no restraints and others were upon their bridles restrained the usage here that النابغة الدبياني is using is the lexical linguistic usage which means to restrain مطلق الإمساق the شريعة gave a meaning to the word fasting what is it الإمساق it is to restrain from what عن المفطراتي from the things that break your fasting من طروع الفجري إلى غروب الشمسي معنية from the sunrise إلى the sunset with an intention so you would hold from the مفطرات the things that break your fasting and what are the things that break your fasting it's going to be one of the classes one of the episodes إن شاء الله و تعالى so it's to restrain but this restraining it's not مطلق it's not unrestricted what I mean by that is you restrain from particular things that the Quran and the sunnah are due to restrain from whereas in the linguistic in the lexical usage it means to restrain from any and everything it can be used for okay so it is to restrain it is to withhold from the things that break your fasting from sunrise to sunset معنية with an intention with an intention الشيخ العلاب محمد من صالح he says that in the definition of the shari'a it's necessary that the word is added onto it is added onto it so that is also important that we recognize that that instead of just saying it is better to say it is to worship Allah by to worship Allah by restraining from the things that break your fasting so it doesn't just become a person who's not wanting to eat who's restraining from food and drinking and sexual intercourse and etc but he's not worshipping Allah with it that's not considered fasting okay the second point that I want to discuss today إن شاء الله تعالى is مَتَا فُولِضَا صَوْمُ when was fasting made obligatory we know that fasting is obligatory through the Quran and the sunnah and the إجماع the consensus the Quran Allah تعالى he said يا أيها الذين آمنوا كوتيب عليكم الصيام كما كوتيب علي الذين من قبلكم لعلكم تتقون فمن شهد منكم الشهر فليصم those two verses are evidence to show that the fasting is obligatory the first ayah الله سبحانه وتعالى he says يا أيها الذين آمنوا those of you who believe كوتيب عليكم الصيام has been made obligatory on to you as it was made obligatory on those who came before you the second ayah that I mentioned is فمن شهد منكم الشهر anyone who witnesses the month who sees the month of Ramadan فليصمه he should fast and this is a command from Allah سبحانه وتعالى and the principle in the science of صول الفق is when Allah سبحانه وتعالى and his messenger command you to do something it shows obligation الأمر يقتضل وجوب that the command it benefits and it shows obligation الله تبارك وتعالى and say فليصم shows obligation in the sunnah the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم he obliged and made it mandatory on the people to fast he said بني الإسلام وعلى خمس his Islam is built upon five pillars and from them is وصوم رمضان fasting the month of Ramadan fasting the month of Ramadan this is found in حديث عمر رضي الله عليه وسلم okay حديث جيبريل and also حديث عبد الله بن عمر في صحيحين so the fasting is obligatory also in the sunnah also the إجماع many scholars have transmitted that إجماع like الإمام النووي رحم الله also إبنو قدام رحم الله also إبنو المندر رحم الله إبنو رشت through the consensus إبنو حزم and many many other scholars have also brought the consensus that fasting of Ramadan is obligatory and it's not recommended it's obligatory everyone must fast and we'll speak about the people who are an exception from this but generally speaking the fasting of the month of Ramadan is obligatory and anyone who rejects his obligation says that fasting of Ramadan is not obligatory it's recommended you don't have to fast it's your choice is a disbeliever and is no longer a Muslim anyone who rejects the obligation of the month of Ramadan is a disbeliever he leaves a fold of Islam he is no longer considered to be a Muslim he is considered to be from the disbelievers so when was fasting made obligatory the fasting was made obligatory في شعبان من سنة الثانية للهدراتي it was made obligatory in the month of شعبان which is the month that we're in right now it was made obligatory in this month of شعبان when the year was the second year of the Hijriah after two years when the Prophet migrated from Mecca and he migrated to Medina two years later Ramadan was made obligatory so Ramadan was made obligatory it was prescribed upon the believers من السنة الثانية للهدراتي the second year in the month of شعبان now I move on to the third point that I want to speak about in today's introduction which is بما يثبت ودخولوا شهر رمضان what makes Ramadan enter and how does Ramadan enter and what can establish Ramadan for us when can we say Ramadan has entered this is the month of Ramadan when can we say that يثبت ودخولوا شهر رمضان the month of Ramadan is established has entered when three signs three ways any one of these three ways any one of them is an evidence that Ramadan has entered I repeat Ramadan enters in one of these three forms in one of these three ways the first is رؤية هلالي رمضان the sighting of the moon of Ramadan the crescent of Ramadan is sighted it's seen that's one number two اكمال عدة شعبان 30 يوم the month of شعبان finishes or is completed to 30 30 days of شعبان is done then Ramadan has definitely entered these two number one and number two the first one was what رؤية هلالي رمضان the sighting of the moon of Ramadan when is it necessary for the sighting of the moon of Ramadan it is when the month for شعبان is 29 if you look at the Islamic calendar and the way we look at these days and nights Islam counts from the moon okay we are a lunar calendar we do we do it the lunar whereas the non-Muslims they do the solar Islam because it follows the moon it only stays for 29 or 29 or 30 each month and it doesn't become 31 it's either 29 or 30 so the month can finish in 29 it can that's when if this moon is sighted and شعبان is 29 and the moon is sighted the next day we don't wait for 30 we fast the next day and that month finished at 29 what about if there is a something covering we can't sight it we weren't able to see it we tried to look and we couldn't see this we couldn't sight the moon what do we do we let شعبان finish on 30 because شعبان is certainty that it was in for us to remove شعبان and say شعبان has come to an end we need evidence for it we didn't it was maybe cloudy we couldn't sight it and that is exactly what the prophet peace and blessings of Allah be upon him said رضي الله تعالى عنهما الشهر تسعن وعشرون ليلة that the month is 29 nights فلا تصوموه do not fast it حتى تروه until you see it the present in the moon فإن وم عليكم وربا if it's hidden from you and it becomes cloudy and you will be able to see it فأكملوا عدة شعبانة 30 then finish the month of شعبان to 30 it's just what I mentioned the month is 29 we should finish at 29 but we try to sight it we try to look we tried we tried we couldn't see anything then we let شعبان finish on 30 because شعبان was a certainty that he entered a certainty that it was in we couldn't remove that certainty or we can't remove that certainty without a speculation that is important the third way in which Ramadan can enter is شهادة رجل واحد عدل مكلف على رؤيته a man I'm a one man who is just who has reached age of puberty and he's saying he said I saw it we will take it from him and this is based on the حديث of رضي الله تعالى عنهما أن أعربيا جاء أعربيا جاء أعربيا جاء أعربيا جاء أعربيا جاء أعربيا جاء أعربيا جاء أعربيا جاء أعربيا جاء أن أعربيا جاء أبدو المن came to the prophet فقاله he said إني رأيته الهلال I saw the I saw the I saw the present فقاله the prophet أتشهدوا الله إلا الله do you bear witness that there is not worthy of worship except Allah قال نعم the man said yes I bear witness that there is not worthy of worship except Allah محمد الرسول الله do you bear witness that Muhammad is the messenger sent from Allah سبحانه وتعالى قال النعم the Bedouin man said I do then the prophet said فأذن في الناس يا بلال أن يصوم غدا go tell Bilal to notify the people to fast tomorrow رواه أصحاب السنن the أصحاب السنن narrated it so this Bedouin man he saw it the prophet asked him a question is he a Muslim do you bear witness that Allah is the only one who is worthy of worship he said yes he said yes he then said go and tell Bilal go and tell Bilal to tell the people to fast tomorrow then the moon was sighted with one man who was sane and reached age of puberty he was idle so these are the three points that I wanted to insha'Allah cover in the introduction which is number one ما هو الصوم what is fasting when was the fasting made obligatory and the third one was بما يثبت دخولوا شهر رمضان how does the month of Ramadan enter those three questions we answered in this introduction I leave you there insha'Allah anything which I have said that was wrong or incorrect is from me and shaitaan because Allah has messaged our free from it سبحانك الله وبحمدك أشدو الله إله إلا الله أستغفرك وأتوب إليك السلام عليكم if
