 I seek refuge with Allah from Satan, the accursed. In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful. May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon our Master Muhammad and his family and companions. May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon you, O Lord of the worlds. O Lord of the worlds, thank You for Your great face, Your great Sultan, SubhanakAllah, may You protect us from the evil of your own self. Alhamdulillah, it is a blessing from Allah, Subhanahu wa ta'ala, to be here in this night, in this place, in this city, in this Masjid amongst blessed people, blessed company. I just came from the East Coast and I came here to listen to the likes of you know, Sidi Amr-u-Tarif and Sidi Mahdi, Sidi Zuhair and all of you. Alhamdulillah, this is an opportunity that if I make any mistakes that my teachers here are here to correct me, inshallah. But Alhamdulillah, we're in the last 10 nights, inshallah. And these are very special nights. All nights are special nights. As I say for the believer, you know, every night is Laylatul Qadr and every day is the day of Arafah. But you know, the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, even though all of his nights, you know, in reality, were Laylatul Qadr, the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam looked out for Laylatul Qadr in these last 10 nights. And they say specifically, the odd nights and then Allahu Alam, the 25th, the 27th, the 29th are also mentioned. And so if that's the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, then what about us? As the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, he's ma'asum. The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam is protected. He does not commit sin. The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam would seek Istaghfar from his Lord throughout the day, at least 70 times, at least 100 times, right? But for us, you know, we need more than that. And that's why we couple our Istaghfar with Laylatul Qadr and the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. And it's because, you know, we hope that it's through mentioning his name, Alaihi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, that our deeds and our devotions will be accepted. And one act that Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta'ala himself and the angels partake in every single moment, be it Ramadan or outside of Ramadan, this is a continuous act, right? Inna Allah wa Malaiqatahu yusalluna ala nabi Ya ayyuha ladina aminu sallahu alaihi wa sallimu taslima Allahumma salli ala Sayyidina Muhammad wa ala Ali Muhammad. And so, for us, right, you know, it's all about remembering the beloved, right? Be it in relationships, be it with family members, be it with good friends, right? The closer you are to a person, the more you remember them. And the more you remember them, you know, the more you come to know them through sitting in their company, through speaking about them, through visiting them, through seeing them, you actually become more and more like that person. And so what we wanna do is we wanna mention and we wanna remember the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam so much so to the point that we, inshallah, become Muhammadan. So much so to the point, right, that we're taking on the prophetic qualities and even the external qualities as well, right? And so when we walk, right, we walk as the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam walked, but his walk was with purpose, right? And so even our, the physical manifestations of, you know, the acts that we take on and following his Sunnah, Alaihi Wasallam also have a metaphysical reality to them as well, and such that everything we do then becomes connected to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala because in reality, everything the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam did was divine inspiration. And so that's what Ramadan is all about. It's about achieving and attaining consciousness of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala because takwa by definition means to stay away from those things that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala has prohibited us to do and to do those things that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala has commanded us to do. And so the more we do that, right, the more we follow the Sunnah of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam and the more that we strive to grow in every single day because our days, two of our days shouldn't be the same. The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam instructed us that in every day, right, two days of the believers are not the same in that he or she is trying to strive more and more. But when we do that, we begin to develop a true and deep longing and love for the Messenger of Allah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam and a true love and longing for Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. And Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says, Let's say Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala addresses the Messenger of Allah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, right, to tell us, to instruct us, in kuntum it's a conditional sentence. If you claim, right, to love Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, then follow me, right? And if you truly come to follow me, only then will Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala will love you in return. And then as a bonus, right, he will forgive you as well out of his love, right, for the Habib Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. So we ask Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala to allow us to take advantage of these last 10 days that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala allow us to become closer and closer to the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam and allow us to achieve Taqwa wa Sallallahu Alai Sayyidina Muhammad wa Alaa Ali wa Sahbihi wa Sallam. Wa Alhamdulillah.
