 وأقولوا في القرآن ما جاءت به آياته فهو الكاريم المنزال وأقولوا قال الله جل جلاله والمصطف الهدي ولا أتأوّاله الحمد لله رب العالمين والصلاة والسلام على عبد الله ورسوله نبينا محمد وعلى آله وصحبه أجمعين السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته مرحباً لأخر مستوى في رمضان ديلي دروبلتنا حيث نحن نأخذ لكم نفس رمضان في حالة إلى شيء ما يمكننا أن نأخذ منه رمضان شيء ما يمكننا أن نعلم من نفسنا نفسنا ونفسنا and the other acts of worship that we perform in this blessed month في هذا الفيديو سوف نتحدث عن رمضان as the month of الخوضوع والاستسلام the month of submission to الله سبحانه وتعالى and indeed الله عز وجل told us that the purpose of this month of رمضان is to develop a taqwa الله عز وجل told us يا أيها الذين آمنوا كتب عليكم الصيام كما كتب على الذين من قبلكم لعلكم تتقون أوي who believe fasting has been prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those who came before you so that you may be from the people of a taqwa and a taqwa necessitates that we submit ourselves to Allah عز وجل and indeed fasting is like a training program to develop that submission in a complete sense not just in the sense of fasting from food there is a beautiful quote from الإمام إبنو جوزي رحم الله تعالى in which he speaks about the fact that this aspect of fasting is more is broader than just refraining from food and drink he said رحمه الله تعالى ما من جارحة في بدن الإنسان إلا ويلزمها الصوم في رمضان وغير رمضان he said there is no part there is no limb of a person's body except that that limb has a fast that it has to keep in رمضان and outside of رمضان سبحان الله how is that well to understand this we have to understand that the word أسوم in the Arabic language it means الامسك it means to refrain from doing certain things that's linguistically what fasting is it's refraining from doing things and that's why we find in the Quran that Allah عز وجل told us about Maryam عليها السلام that she said إني نذرتوا لي الرحمن صوما فلن أكلم اليوم إنسية I have sworn an oath to the most merciful that I will fast so I will not speak to anyone today her fast was a fast of refraining from speaking so let's look again at this statement of إبنو جوزي رحم الله تعالى every limb in the body of a person has to fast it has to refrain from certain things in رمضان and outside of رمضان and one of the beautiful benefits we can take from this is that when we fast in the month of رمضان and refrain from food and drink it trains us to refrain from our desires in general إبنو جوزي رحم الله تعالى he continues he said فصوم اللساني ترك الكلام إلا في ذكر الله تعالى he said the fasting of the tongue is to leave off all speech except what is the remembrance of Allah the Exalted to leave off all of the vain speech the foolish speech and the haram speech and all of the sins of the tongue the lying and backbiting and slander and speaking about Allah without knowledge and so on leaving everything aside except for the remembrance of Allah وصوم السمع and the fasting of the hearing ترك الإصغائي إلى الباقل وإلى ما لا يحلو سماعو he said it is leaving off giving your attention and lending your ear to the falsehood and to what is not permissible for you to be able to listen to it وصيام العينين ترك النظري والغضط عم حارم الله he said it is the fasting of the eyes is to leave off looking and to lower your gaze from what Allah عز وجل made haram so in reality the fasting that we do in Ramadan we leave off food and drink which are normally halal for us but it trains us to leave many many things that are not good for us and it trains us to leave sins it trains us to be able to fast with our eyes and our ears and our tongues as we trained ourselves to fast with in terms of what we eat and our stomachs and what we drink and it said that a a bedwind man he wanted to criticize a person or a people he wanted to criticize a group of people so he said يصومون عن المعروف ويفطيرون على الفواحش he said they fast from doing good and they break they're fast by doing immorality سبحان الله what a terrible situation to describe a person and how far we must be in Ramadan away from these kind of descriptions that we are a people when we say we are fasting in Ramadan let us not be a people who are fasting from المعروف we're fasting from doing good like the people sleeping all day you know just switched off in Ramadan just get up to eat go back to sleep again يصومون عن المعروف they're actually fasting from doing good and then when they break they're fast what do they do when the iftar time comes they go out and they do haram and they go out they meet people in places that haram do haram ويفطيرون على الفواحش and they break their fast by doing immoral deeds what a terrible description that is and we must be so careful that we're not from those people inside of Ramadan or outside of Ramadan but particularly inside of Ramadan that we focus that where our Ramadan is not just a fasting which leads us to be hungry and thirsty but it's a fasting that leads us to do good and leads us to fast from away from the sins like we fast away from the food and the drink i.e. that we abstain and hold ourselves back from those things that we were doing those negative traits and those sins that we were doing and we're not from the people that when the iftar comes we break our fast by doing the haram rather we break our fast upon that which is halal طيب which is halal and pure and we maintain that fasting through the night not the fasting of food and drink because that's not prescribed in the night but the fasting away from the sins and the things which have no benefit the fasting of the tongue the fasting of the eye the fasting of the ear and so on and Allah عز وجل commanded us in the Quran يا أيها الذين آمن استجيبوا لله و للرسول إذا دعاكم لما يحيكم و علموا أن الله يحور بين المرء و قلبه و أنه إليه تحشارون صورة الأنثال آية number 24 الله عز وجل told us or you who believe answer Allah in his messenger when they call you to that which gives you life and know that Allah comes between a person in their heart and that to Allah you will be gathered this ayah is from really from the most scary and you know in the ayah that instill fear in a person in reality because Allah عز وجل commands us to answer Allah immediately when you know that Allah عز وجل has told you to do something when you know that the messenger sayasem told you to do something استجيبوا answer it when you hear the adhan how many people hear the adhan and they don't answer it they don't answer it when the prophet sayasem said اتسمعني ده did you hear the call قال نعم man said yes قال فأجيب then answer it how many of us hear the adhan but we don't answer the call of Allah عز وجل and his messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم when they call us to what is going to bring us life that's what the sharia is there for it brings it makes you alive it brings you the life of the akhir and it makes you truly alive in this dunya a life which is a life which is حياتا طيب which is a good life and a pure life but if you turn away from Allah then Allah سبحانه وتعالى threatens to seal the heart of the one who turns away from him and reminds you that you will be gathered and brought back to Allah سبحانه وتعالى so let me give you some examples from the companions of how quickly they answered the call of Allah and his messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم أبو مسعود البدري narrates رضي الله عن كنت أضرب غلاما لي بالسوط فسمعت صوتا من خلفي إعلام أبا مسعود فلم أفهم الصوت من الغضب he said I was beating a slave boy of mine with a whip and I heard a sound from behind me I heard a voice saying أبو مسعود know this and I didn't know whose voice it was because I was so angry فلما دنا مني إذا هو رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فإذا هو يقول إعلم أبا مسعود أن الله أقدر عليك منك على هذا الغلام he said when the person came near to me I realized that it was the messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم and he was saying نور أبو مسعود that Allah is more able has more power over you than you have over this slave boy is more able to punish you than you are able to punish this slave boy Allah has more power over you than you have over this slave boy فقلتُ لا أضرب مملو كان بعده أبدا he said I said straight away I will never hit a slave after this ever and in a narration he said فسقط السوط من يدي من هيبة he said the whip dropped from my hand immediately as soon as I heard him I dropped the whip from my hand from out of the هيبة I mean the presence of the messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم and in another narration he said فقلتُ يا رسول الله هو حرٌ لوجه الله تعالى I said oh messenger of Allah this slave boy is free for the sake of Allah عز وجل for the sake of Allah I'm going to free him فقال أما لو لم تفعل للفحت كان نار أو قال لمست كان نار he said if you did not do this then the doors of the fire would have been opened for you or he said the fire would have touched you look how the companions instantly the messenger of Allah he was so that that أبو مسعود رضي الله عنه he was so angry so furious and yet when the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said to him he dropped the whip he let the boy go free for the sake of Allah straight away he let the boy go free and he made an oath that I will never hit a servant again look how quickly they answered the call of Allah عز وجل and I have another example from the example of أنا صلى الله عليه وسلم he said that the messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم أخذ سيفا يوم أحد فقال من يأخذ مني هذا the messenger of Allah took a sword on the day of أحد and he said to his companions who is going to take this sword from me فبسطوا أيديهم كل إنسان منهم يقولوا أنا أنا he said they put their hands out every single man said me me I will take it قال فمن يأخذوه بحقه the prophet of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم said who is going to take this sword and give it its right who is going to take this sword and give it its right قال فأحد جمع القوم the people they fell silent no one had it was brave to say I will take it when the prophet of Allah said بحقه I will give it its full right فقال سماك ابن خرشا أبو دجانا ربي الله عنه سماك ابن خرشا أبو دجانا ربي الله عنه he said أنا أخذوه بحقه he said I will take it and give it its right قال فأخذه فثلق به هام المشركين look at the example of how quick the companions were to take an opportunity that was given to them I will take it I will take it look at the opportunity each one of them wanted to answer the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم immediately every one of them wanted to take the opportunities they were given and أنا سرضي الله عنه he narrates he said قال كنت أسقي أبا عبيدة وأبا طلحة وأبي ابن كعب he said I used to what this time he said I was pouring wine or pouring alcohol for أبو عبيدة this is before the alcohol was made haram for أبو عبيدة and أبو طلحة and أبي ابن كعب ربي الله عنه he said من فضيخي زهوين وتمر was from a particular kind of alcohol that was made from it was made from dates it was kind of a fermented drink from dates alcoholic drink and he was pouring it for those companions رضي الله عنهم فجاءهم آت then a person came فقال إن الخمر قلت حرمة they said alcohol has just been made haram so imagine they used to drinking and anise is pouring the alcohol for them and at this time a person comes and says alcohol has been made haram فقال أبو طلحة قم يا آنس فأهرقها he said فأهرقتها he said أو آنس stand up and pour it out straight away آنس said so I stood up and I poured it all away سبحان الله look at how quickly they answered the call of Allah and his messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم the prophet so I said wasn't the one to come and tell them a person came a person came and said we've just heard the alcohol has been made haram pour it away أو آنس immediately they answered the call of Allah and his messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم how many opportunities do we have this Ramadan how many opportunities to answer the call of Allah and his messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم to the things that will give us life how many opportunities to submit ourselves before Allah to make our lives in accordance with what Allah has commanded us to do and to keep away from what Allah has commanded us to keep away from but the question is will we take that opportunity that has been given to us and will we answer the call of Allah and his messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم ask the question that each one of us needs to ask ourselves and Allah is our general's best والصلاة والسلام على نبينا محمد وعلى آله وصحبه أجمعي السلام عليكم if you're
