 We're disguised when I come here and for now on because this is my second time speaking tonight You know, so I have to prepare be every time I come to MCC to expect to have to say something but mashallah, man It's a sign of love to me and and I love the brothers here And so I've been actually just to speak just a few minutes Before we praise the lots of tarawih and I'll try to be as brief as possible because I know that the night is long and the prayer is long and You know, we hope that we will be able to keep everyone for most of the night, inshallah But I just wanted to begin with mentioning that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam And one hadith is said To his Sahaba The month of Ramadan has come Shahr Mubarak, a blessed month Fihi tuftahu abwabu jannah It is a month wherein the gates of Jannah are opened What took what took a lot of fihi abwabu jahim and it is also a month where in the gates of hell They are closed what to go look fihi shayateen and the demonic forces are Detained during this month and he also said well fihi laylatun khayro min alfi shahar In this month there is a night which is better than one thousand months Man huri ma khayraha toqab hurim and whoever is denied the good of it I mean the good of that night then that person is denied And as I say denied all good this this night of laylatu qadr in Ramadan we are not simply celebrating a fast We're celebrating the revelation of the Quran that Allah's panoratara said that this month is amongst Where he revealed the Quran The shahar of Ramadan that the unzirah fihi Quran it is the month wherein he revealed the Quran and he said that this is a month this particular month he Revealed it during a night during this month and we know that night as laylatu qadr And he says in Zannahu if he laid it to Mubarak a verily we we revealed it in a blessed night But during the month of Ramadan And as we know from our tradition That laylatu qadr Is really an uncertain night in many regards as we know but most of us of course we say the 27th night of month of Ramadan Because that's what the mainstream schools of Islam sort of teaches and have chosen But the reality is that the tradition is less certain about when exactly than at the month The the night of power is or laylatu qadr is some says the first in some days say the the second Third of the month some say it happens on the last ten ten days of the month And then when we come to the last ten days of the month or nine days of the month The some say is on the odd days of that month some say it happens on the even nights of that month But regardless of what particular day laylatu qadr may be That what is what is important that we can take from the all the Disagreements that exist about when exactly the night of power actually is is that Allah Safran was out of intended from this month and from this fast for us to to to Do all that we can to exert our utmost and so due diligence and seeking the Effects and the reward of laylatu qadr They want to increase our worship because when you find those uncertainties Then you want we should want to put all your eggs in one basket and wait to that one single night And to be to be exert ourselves only on that one particular night because Allah swt Wants us to do good every single night of Ramadan and most importantly so that if we do achieve and We encounter the night of power that we will be able to continue to do good beyond the night Because what is truly the the sign that one has actually Encounters the night of power other than that Allah swt grants us the stigma that he grants us the ability to continue To do good things beyond the month that if outside of the month of Ramadan we Didn't pray Sunnah prayers and then in Ramadan we we prayed our Sunnah Then the hope is that after Ramadan we continue our Sunnah if we didn't give charity on a regular basis before Ramadan The hope is that after Ramadan we will continue to give charity if we didn't Do many different things whatever maybe we didn't read the Quran Outside of the month of Ramadan that we should do so with the intention that after Ramadan We will continue this practice and so when we do continue those things Outside of the month of Ramadan that that is the true indication that we have encountered the night of power And we ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to get us to give us the reward and the blessing of the night of power Regardless of what night that may be be the 27th or any other night But we should pray every single night is this it is potentially the might of power and Insha Allah with that I will leave you With the the prayer and as stated just a little while ago after the salat So hopefully Sheikh for us would be here to get to offer a few words of advice as well And and we hope that people don't feel overburdened by this, but it is the weekend So take the opportunity to exert yourself a little bit more and hopes that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to will Will strengthen those muscles those spiritual muscles so that you can lift Heavier weight going forward in this month and thereafter
