 الحمد لله what a blessing time that we reach the middle of Shaaban and what a special night رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم told us and asked Allah سبحانه وتعالى الله و بارك لنا في رجب و شعب بارك لنا في شعبان و بالدغنة رمضان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم asked for Baraka in Rajab and Allah answered him in that month of Rajab and he brought him to meet him to be together in a place nobody can be there except Allah سبحانه وتعالى and his حبيب if we reflect on this we understand that this deen is based on the love on the hub and can you imagine when Allah سبحانه وتعالى and when the beloved one the beloved they are together Allah gave him that in Rajab and he said give a Baraka in Shaaban and what did he get in Shaaban because Rasool الله صلى الله عليه وسلم said رجب شهر الله رجب is the month of Allah and Shaaban is my month special for me and he said Shaaban is a month between two important months is Rajab رجب شهر محرم و رمضان is another one a lot of people they don't you know aware of Shaaban is very important he said Shaaban is my month and Ramadan for my Ummah so what did he get he get a very special status and position where the verse came in the night of the middle of Shaaban this night tonight when Allah سبحانه وتعالى said إن الله أكتو يصلونا على النبي this is the night where Rasool الله صلى الله عليه وسلم pointed to the moon and it's flat this is the night where or the day of the middle of Shaaban where Rasool الله صلى الله عليه وسلم was looking around he went different Qibla the Qibla was toward the the Quds Jerusalem and Allah told him قد نرى تخلب وجكة في السماء we see that you are looking around for different direction we will get you a Qibla you and your Ummah that you are pleased رضا Allah want him to be pleased he told him you will be pleased I'll give until you say I'm satisfied so he gave him this changing of Qibla in the middle of Shaaban they say the first of Siam the first of Zikr it happened in the middle of Shaaban now the Sahabah of Allah on them they were the people who gave us the benefit for us the thing that it's not for them we will really miss Allah he said that I heard Rasool الله صلى الله عليه وسلم saying if it is the middle he said if it is that night then spend the night قيام worship Allah and then we fast the day وصمونا هارها وصمونا هارها فإن الله ينزلو فيها لغروب الشمسي لسماع الدنيا then Allah will descend to the first Siam the first Samaa from Maghreb ينزل سماع الدنيا at the Maghreb time what did Allah say? now when he said Allah descend for us that means his Rahma comes to us his Baraka his Madad everything that the Anwar Allah make it available for all of us but why? because of Rasool الله صلى الله عليه وسلم and he will say ألا من مستغفر لي فأغفر له anybody really want something from me anybody want something from me want Maqfira you regret your sin you want Maqfira this is the time I'm gonna erase it all for you ألا من مسترزخ فأرزقة then anybody need sustenance I'll provide for him ألا من مبتلا فأعافي anybody have a hardship I'll take it away from him whether it's hardship in his health or spiritual health being or his family or his war whatever it is رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم kept telling صحابة ألا كذا ألا كذا حتى يطلع الفجر until done until what until done صلى الله عليه وسلم wanted us to really be aware that Allah loves us because he loves this حبيب صلى الله عليه وسلم and رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم told us أحبوني لحب الله لي love me because Allah loves me that's enough reason didn't say love me because I'm his prophet or I'm the best worshipper or or or no he said love me because Allah loves me love me because Allah loves me what's an amazing relationship this Dean is based on love on hope in the Quran the verse where it said that the meaning of it that if you don't follow this way that I gave you I will get rid of you I bring people what's their description he didn't say they fast or they pray they said يوحبوهم و يوحبونا they love Allah and Allah loves them Allah loves them and they love Allah Allah will bring people that Allah loves so this is based on love so he said because of this hadith for us now we knew that the value of this night and another person of the Sahaba very close to رسول الله عليه وسلم his beloved wife say the Haish now you have to imagine say the Haish have been raised by the best two people at that time the best ever سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم say no bug she was raised by them but Allah SWT put on her غيرا jealous that jealous is very beneficial for us because that night say the Muhammad it was the third say the Haish that رسول الله عليه وسلم is staying at her house and she like almost asleep but she was asleep and she she said I felt that رسول الله عليه وسلم is moving and he's like putting his stuff and going away and I felt you know the غيرا the jealous came he said oh he's going to my my you know to his wife to other wives no no this is my turn I'm not allowed that but so she followed him from distance and she was surprised to see that he's going where to the بقية the graveyard in مدينة and she went there and she listened to some of his Dua and she said سبحان الله I'm going for dunya he's going for the Akhira he's going for Allah so she felt he's coming back she rushed in رسول الله عليه وسلم they describe him that he goes fast when he walked he goes fast like he's going out of the downhill you know it's like going fast so she started running and she went to the bed and you know like active she's sleeping رسول الله عليه وسلم came and he said he saw the breathing because he was running what's this يا عايشة she said رسول الله she can ask she will say truth differently all the Sahaba they knew if whatever they say Allah will tell رسول الله عليه وسلم so there is nothing can be hidden and she was this by the صديق she is a friend so she said يا رسول الله I thought when you left me that you are going to you know one of your wives he said يا عايشة do you think that Allah and his messenger يا حيفو بكي that mean will be and just to you there is no way I'm the messenger of Allah there is no way he said جبري came to me he said رسول الله عليه وسلم and told him يا رسول الله this is the night of the middle of نصف شعبان that dua Allah made it that the dua is accepted in it and Allah wants you to make dua for the people who are in the بقية the shuhada and the people who pass the believer in the بقية Allah wanted you to make دعا for them that's why I left you I went to make dua and she because of her والله because of her jealous we are benefitting we get this information otherwise how would we know and then he said يا عايشة would you give me permission to worship Allah this night I want to just be with Allah I said yeah definitely say the Qali Umar he recited the verse of the Quran سوت الدخان which is at the beginning saying بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم حاميم والكتاب المبين إِنَّا أَذَنَّا وَفِي لَيْلَةِ مُبَارَكَا إِنَّا كِنَّا مُدُرِيمَ فيها يفرقوا كل أمر حكيم we brought the Quran in the night that's a مبارك night and in this night all the issues for the next year will be revealed كل أمر حكيم a lot of scholars they say it's not enough but I've said نعكر ما and the Sahaba who have the knowledge of the Quran and other Sahaba I know it's a lot of نصف in the Sahaba there is two way of revealed the Quran was أمو الكتاب أو لوح المحفوظ Allah brought it down to the from the tablet of the protected tablet to the tablet of محول إثبات where Allah will erase things and write things can be changed and he said that first descended of the Quran some scholars they say the first descendant of the Quran is from لوح المحفوظ to the world sky to the first sky and then it was through the 23 years or during the so he here in this he said this night is a night of مبارك فيها يفرخ كل أمر الحكيم isn't it all the important things will be decided they say your risk will be decided your health will be decided you're somebody gonna die decided this day so all the angels they are very busy that night just taking responsibility for everything it's a very important night for all the angels all the it should be important for us also it should be important we should really have a يعني the عارفين and the Awliya it's very important for them it's the same way it should be for us it should be for us we should really take a good care of this night they say رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم said in another hadith he told Saydah Aisha or a Sahaba he said in this night الله will forgive people at the count at the number of the hair of all the sheeps and and candles of all the tribe بني كلم that tribe it's known that every one of them they don't love land they don't love money they love have goats and sheeps and so on everyone will have like a thousand or hundred and so on and imagine everyone how many hairs there is Allah will forgive people they will be forgiven they will have براع they will be free from their fire by the count of that hair of all the sheeps in this village just to let the Sahaba understand the importance of this now this night try to do extra عبادة رسول صلى الله عليه وسلم said do a qiyam lay and do also fasting tomorrow so Monday good too fast and tonight is ask Allah whatever you want whatever you want ask Allah whatever you like and in other hadith صلى الله عليه وسلم said Allah will look at this night all his believers and he will forgive everybody except somebody you have his شحناء in his heart his heart is a heart heart he cannot forgive anybody he won't forgive from Allah he doesn't forgive anybody no no no why that should be there's a lot of hadith if when I mentioned there's a lot of time it will take a lot of time to do that but ask Allah for mercy for yourself and for the ummah because the صلى الله عليه وسلم he cares about the ummah and there's one hadith I read the other day that if you ask forgiveness it's a reward for every mu'min on earth because you ask for forgiveness for him so give Allah first start with forgiving everybody say Allah I forgive everybody for the sake of your love and the love of your حبيب صلى الله عليه وسلم and then there is the صالحين the awliya they say there are several dua and several things that happen but today we're going to do one thing that people used to do is we read three yasin and every yasin everyone will have a special niyah the first one I'll tell you each niyah or how it is the first one is the niyah of long life Insha'Allah with خير because خيركم منطال عمر وحسن الله عليه وسلم the best amongst you is that we'll have a long life with a good deed the second one intention with take away the بلاد دفع البلاد that mean take away all the hardship on us on the ummah and the third one that الاستغناء عن الناس that we don't need people Insha'Allah and then I'll make dua between me and سيد قارع عمر and we'll make the dua Insha'Allah and we'll read it all together Insha'Allah so I'll start with the first niyah so all of us Insha'Allah we'll make a niyah now all of you read yasin with سيد قارع عمر and سيد قارع طيب okay our niyah is for long life and with خير بسم الله
