 Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. Assalamu alaikum warahmatullahi wa barakatuh. Alhamdulillahi rabbil alamin wa salatu wa salamu ala Sayyidina Muhammad wa ala alihi wa sahbihi. Wa min tabi'ahum bi ihsanin ila yawmidin ama ba'id. Alhamdulillahi Allah SWT has brought us this far. We have now fasted for a few days. We ask for Allah SWT, we ask Allah SWT for his acceptance and continue making dua to Allah SWT that may Allah make the rest of the days and nights easy and blessed for all of us. You know whenever, as human beings we go through difficulty at all times various different forms of difficulty. But when difficulties happen in Ramadan and when emergencies happen in Ramadan it's so much more difficult in a certain sense because in Ramadan there's a certain routine that we have, there's certain things that we need to accomplish, we want to accomplish and anything out of the ordinary in that routine just kind of throws the entire balance off. And so we, on this mubarak night, on this night of Jumu'ah we ask Allah SWT for ease, we ask Allah SWT for acceptance and we ask Allah SWT to protect us from all forms of evil and difficulty. There's a dua we find in the hadith I've shared many times before. Allahumma inni asaluka min fujaatil khair wa a'udubika min fujaatil shar'u Allah we seek from you or I seek from you sudden goodness and seek refuge from sudden difficulty, sudden evil. And so we say amin to that dua. Just as a few brief reminders, it's Jumu'arat. It's the night of Friday that is amongst us. So let us ensure that we pray some tarawih even if we may not be in the regular habit of praying tarawih daily. And I'm going to safely assume that the vast majority of people that are watching this are watching from home. So if you haven't already prayed your isha, pray your isha. If it's possible to pray in congregation, pray in congregation. If we, you know, if we are not in the regular habit of praying salatu tarawih let us try our best tonight to pray some tarawih if possible at the very least eight if we can, you know, the complete 20 insha'Allah and then attempt to wake up maybe 10 minutes earlier tomorrow at Fajr time or Suhoor time 10 minutes earlier than your normal schedule just so that we can get in some Quran. We can get in some extra tahajjud on this Mubarak morning. And let us spend Friday the way it's supposed to be spent, right? Let us, a few things we want to add to it. Let us ensure that on Friday tomorrow we pray, we recite Suratul Kahf, all of us, right? There shouldn't be a soul that doesn't recite Suratul Kahf on Friday. We recite Suratul Kahf on Friday. Whether we are going to the Masjid or not, whether we are going to the Masjid or not for Salatu Zuhar at home, let us ensure that we've taken a shower and we're dressed up, right? We're dressed up in our best clothes at Jumu'a time, having applied our perfume so that when we stand in front of Allah at the time of Zuhar, you know, we have, you know, we have at least, at the very least, attempted to prepare. And for those of us, of course, that will be at Salatul Jumu'a, insha'Allah, you know, the more we prepare, the better, insha'Allah. And then most importantly, and this is not just for Ramadan. Of course, it's important in Ramadan and I've emphasized this so many times before. But we, growing up, saw our elders and our teachers, even outside of Ramadan, that on Friday, even outside of Ramadan, after the Asr prayers, they would remain engaged in ibadah, right? Tasbih, Quran, dua, right? On regular days, this happens to be Ramadan. So let us attempt to pray our Asr prayer. Salawat on the Nabi, alayhi salatu was-salaam, after, right? There's a hadith, the Prophet, alayhi salatu was-salaam says, whosoever makes this, this durud, this salawat, Allahumma salli ala Muhammadin al-Nabi al-Ummi wa ala alihi wa sahbihi wa sallim, 80 times after the Asr prayer, you know, all their sins for the last so many years have been forgiven. Now, of course, some say that the hadith is da'if, but essentially we are reminded that salawat after Asr, Quran after Asr, and then in the moments before Iftar, let us raise our hands and turn to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala in solitude and make dua to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and make this day and this evening count. So with that said, Jumu'ah mubarak to all of you and your families and we pray to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala that it be a blessed day for all of us. Jazakumullahu khayran. Salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.
