 وَأَقُولُوا فِي القُرْآنِ مَا جَاءَتْ بِهِ أَيَاتُوهُ فَهُوَ الْكَارِيمُ الْمُنزَالُونَ وَأَقُولُوا قَالَ اللَّهُ جَلَّ جَلَالُوهُ وَالْمُصْطَافَ الْهَاديِ وَلَا أَتْ أَوَّالُونَ الحمد لله رب العالمين له الحمد الحسن والثناء الجميل واشدوا الله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له واشدوا النسيدنا ونبينا محمد صلى الله عليه وعاليه وعاليه وعصحابه والتابعين لهم بحسان إلى يوم الدين أما بعد إن شاء الله تعالى this is our first lesson إن شاء الله تعالى which will be the second episode for us because in our previous episode was an introduction and so today's first lesson I want to speak about the virtues of fasting فضائل صومي the virtues of fasting إن شاء الله تعالى I'm going to mention six virtues and there are many more than that the first one is anyone who fasts in the month of Ramadan or anyone who fasts with two qualities إيمانا وحتسابا he does it with faith in Allah and hoping reward from Allah his past sins will be forgiven and the evidence for that is a hadith بخاري and muslim both narrated in there anyone who fasts the month of Ramadan with faith in Allah and hoping reward from him you will be forgiven for your past sins the second virtue for fasting is لصائمي فرحتان the person who is fasting there are two times when he is going to be happy and joyful and the hadith of Imam al-Bukhari and muslim both narrated in there the person who is fasting he has two times when he is happy إذا أفطر فريح بفطري he is happy when he breaks his fast because that whole day the effort and the hard work he exerted he is happy that he has accomplished it وإذا لقي ربه and when he meets his lord the day of judgment فريح بصومي he is happy with the fasting that he has fasted it was a true fasting it was a fasting that fulfilled the meaning of what fasting was so this is a great virtue for the people who are fasting the third virtue is أنها شهر القرآن this month of Ramadan is a month of Quran الله سبحانه وتعالى He said in the Quran شهر رمضان الذي أنزل فيه القرآن هدى للناس وبينات من الهدى والفرقان شهر رمضان الذي أنزل فيه القرآن رمضان is the month in which the Quran was sent down there is a strong bond and a strong relationship between the Quran and fasting of Ramadan a very strong bond الله سبحانه وتعالى He says in the Quran إن الذين يتلون كتاب الله those who are reciting the book of Allah سبحانه وتعالى إن الذين يتلون كتاب الله وأقاموا الصلاة وأنفقوا مما رزقناهم سر وعالانية يرجون تجارة اللين تبور ليوفيهم وجورهم ويزيدهم من فضله إنه غفور شقور الله سبحانه وتعالى He tells us that the people who recited the Quran they are in a trade with Allah سبحانه وتعالى تجارة اللين تبور a trading that they are never going to become bankrupt from it success is all they are going to receive from it so by reciting the Quran it's a trade that you are doing with Allah سبحانه وتعالى and you are going to be successful رمضان is that month where you bond yourself with the Quran and you read it the fourth virtue in fasting of رمضان is تفتح في أبواب الجنة the doors of the jannah are opened وتغلقوا أبواب الناني and the doors of the hellfire are closed وصفيدة الشياطين and the الشياطين are chained الإمام البخاري and the Muslim both narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira that the professor Allah عليه السلام has said إذا جاء رمضان إذا رمضان comes فتحت أبواب الجنة the doors of the jannah are opened وغلقت أبواب الناني and the doors of the hellfire are locked وصفيدة الشياطين and the الشياطين are chained up it's an opportunity for you to work hard المرادة الشياطين the tyrannical the supreme الشياطين are chained up فوكس on yourself now you don't have them getting in your way the fifth reward in fasting رمضان is that there is a door in the jannah this door is called الريان the people who are going to enter from it are going to enter from it the people who are going to enter from it are the people who are fasting the professor Allah عليه وسلم he said إن في الجنة بابا in the jannah there is a door يقال له الريان that door is called يدخل منها الصائمون the people who are fasting will enter from it يوم القيامة لا يدخل معهم أحد غيرهم no one else will enter from it except them the only people who are going to enter from that door يقالوا it will be set to them أين الصائمون where are those who are fasting فيدخلون منه they will enter from that door فإذا دخل آخرهم when the last one of them enters that door أغلق the door be closed فلم يدخل منه أحد no one will enter from it الإمام البخاري and Muslim both narrated that إن صحيح on the authority of the noble companion سهل ابن سعد الساعدي رضي الله تعالى عنه the final and last reward that I want to mention for fasting is أن دعوة الصائم مستجابة the supplication of the one who is fasting is accepted the Prophet ﷺ told us in a hadith ثلاثة three لا تردوا دعوتهم the supplication is not rejected الصائم حتى يفطرة the one who is fasting until he breaks his fast والإمام العاديل and the just leader ودعوة المضلومي and the supplication of the oppressed these three their dua is not rejected أخرجه الترميلي وابن ماجه these three people their dua is not rejected الصائم حتى يفطر حتى يفطر الصائم حتى يفطر the one who is fasting until he breaks his fast والإمام العاديل and the just leader ودعوة المضلومي and the supplication of the oppressed these three people الله سبحانه وتعالى will not reject their supplication is accepted and the one that concerns us here is the person who is fasting he or she their dua is accepted and then what we need to understand is that when Ramadan enters we want to be from these people we want to get these virtues and these rewards we want الله سبحانه وتعالى to forgive us for our past sins we want to be happy in every day that we break our fast in the day we meet Allah سبحانه وتعالى we want to be happy we want to be a people connect ourselves with the Quran we want to be from the people who benefit from this opportunity when the doors of jannah are opened and the doors of the hellfire are closed and the Shayateen are chained number five in jannah there is a door specific for the people who are fasting we want to be from those people who enter from that door when everyone else is deprived from that privilege we also want to be from those people who Allah accepts their supplication their dua those six are the virtues of the people who are fasting and it's not for anyone else it is the people who reaped and took the benefit from that noble month that blessed month شهر رمضان may Allah سبحانه وتعالى allow us to be from the people of fasting may Allah سبحانه وتعالى forgive us for our past sins may Allah سبحانه وتعالى bring joy and happiness to our hearts every day that we break our fasts in the day we meet him سبحانه وتعالى may Allah give us the opportunity and the chance for us to benefit from the opportunity when the door of jannah is open and the doors of the hellfire are closed and the Shayateen are chained may Allah سبحانه وتعالى make our supplication and our dua and our invoking is accepted may Allah سبحانه وتعالى enter us from the door of al-rayyan when he deprives it from everybody else إنه ولي يدانيك والقادر علي سبحانك اللهم بحمدك أشدو الله إله إلا الله أستغفروك أتوب إليه السلام عليكم if you're enjoying these videos and you'd like to keep up
