how would I know that my Ramadan is
successful well Allah had said in surah
number 2 I never won take 3 hopeful -
fasting is so that you can become more
aware of Allah you can become more
conscious of Allah
you can opportunity of sin comes that
your thinking lies watching me
if you're feeling more spiritual in this
moment at the end of Ramadan then your
Ramadan has been successful oh I'm going
to ask and right now is to your absolute
best best make a firm intention that
you're going to try and keep you keep up
your spirituality for the next 11 months
till the next Ramadan
how do you do that but look all you need
to do is to have a little portion of
Quran every single day that you're gonna
read non-stop without a failure some
vicar's some Dora look we've been doing
that 20 rakaats
every single night at least went into a
few lockers right because a bit of camel
a make a very intention that some of
these things on a reduced level I'm
going to keep up for the rest of the
year and inshallah next from the bottom
we're gonna start off with a big booster
the question is how do we know that our
Ramadan was accepted by Allah or wasn't
in reality we have no way of being sure
that we have some signs or some little
hints in there that indicate to us that
we had a good Ramadan the first can be
found in a statement of allah subhanaw
taala
allah gives an increase in guidance to
those who are guided some of the
scholars mentioned in the tafsir of
aspire allah gives an increase in
guidance to those who are guided that
this contains the secret as to whether
your deeds have been accepted or not if
you conclude your deeds and then you are
given an ability to continue and do
another good bead after that that is a
sign that your deeds have been example
so let's take for example Ramadan and
eat if the day of Eid is a day of
obedience idea what you still pray your
clear Malay idea why you still pray in
the masjid five times a day idea why you
still read the quran then this is a huge
sign that Allah Azza WA JAL has accepted
your p.m. and your reading of the Quran
and your prayers in Ramadan if however
the day of Eid is a day of disobedience
to Allah so a check a day where you stop
praying after you prayed five times a
day a day where you disobey Allah and
you turn away from the Quran then this
is a sign not a guarantee but it's a
sign that perhaps there was something
fraud in the way that you performed
those deeds in Ramadan so ultimately
it's all about preparing for what is
going to come Ramadan was a training
program it had a purpose allah sol-gel
told us the purpose in the quran
oh you who believe fasting has been made
obligatory for you as it was obligatory
for those people who came before you so
that you may achieve taqwa so that you
may achieve taqwa what is taqwa taqwa is
protecting yourself from the punishment
of Allah becoming more obedient less
disobedient so look at the day of Eid if
on the day of age you become more
obedient to Allah unless disobedient to
Allah then you got something out of this
training program and if from the day or
age you become more disobedient to Allah
and less obedient to Allah this is a
sign that the training didn't quite have
the desired effect and we need to turn
to our line repentance so that Allah can
replace those bad deeds with good
analyse original can take us away from
that situation that we might have put
ourselves into a loss of panic Allah
said with regard to Ramadan so that you
may complete the prescribed days and
that you may say allahu akbar for what
allah has guided you to I am the day of
eight and that you may show gratitude
and so one of the key purposes coming
out of Ramadan is showing gratitude for
what Allah gave us in Ramadan and notice
that gratitude is mentioned with regard
to eat that you may make the takbir
allahu akbar allahu akbar under they are
eight and so the sugar is mentioned in
relation to that they have eight so how
do you so sure sugar to allah spirit
allah how we show gratitude to allah you
show gratitude to allah subhanahu
wata'ala
by using what he has given you to please
him and to come near to him in obedience
as allies origel said act family of god
in gratitude act
do actions chakra chakra ingratitude do
actions or family of doubt
ingratitude so gratitude is best shown
not only by the words that you say but
by the actions that you do and so if you
continue to pray you continue to do your
voluntary fasts you continue to read the
Quran continue to ask a lot forgiveness
then this is showing gratitude for what
Allah has given you in the month of
Ramadan you continue not to waste food
you continue not to overeat you continue
to give to the poor and give sadaqa and
charity to the needy and this is a sign
of gratitude for what you've been given
in Ramadan so really now towards the end
of Ramadan get your eyes firmly fixed on
the day of aid plan that day to be a day
of obedience and nearness to Allah so
agile idea of happiness but idea of
gratitude to all eyes or gel for what He
has given us insha Allah Allah that is
what a lost panna cotta has made easy
for me to mention and we ask allah
azzawajal
to accept our cm and our clear to accept
our fasting and our standing in prayer
and to accept all of the other deeds
that we have done in Roma Bahn we ask
Allah Allah to forgive us for the
deficiencies that we have had in this
month to overlook them and to pardon us
for them because allah subhanaw taala is
our food and allah subhanaka Allah loves
Allah who he loves to pardon so we ask
Allah so hunter at upon us we asked
allah subhana allah two writers from
those people who have been freed from
the Hellfire in this month and we ask
the lost heart Allah to allow us to
continue these good deeds during the
month of Ramadan and allies our generals
best what are the signs your Ramadan has
been accepted mama Sheffield penalize us
to the point of worsening Allah for a
month if you're going to follow it with
eleven months of disobedience so it's
important that we're trying to form
habits in shablow tirana
that will outlast all upon and go beyond
Ramadan we have to understand the you
know the amalfi mahi mahi
says that the acceptance of an act shows
in its continuation you know if after
had you're still staying away from the
things you stayed away from in Hajj and
you're still in your worshipping a lot
more you're a changed person that is a
sign that Allah has accepted your hedge
if after Ramadan you know you have right
welcome back shape on right the party's
right we're table everything is whatever
it is the parties that take place
afterwards the welcome back shake bond
parties mush that law where you know we
do everything that we do before it'll
move on all over again right and we
celebrate and R equal down and then
party again all of that is a sign that
your Ramadan was not accepted what is a
sign of acceptance is that you continue
in worshiping a loss of panama time how
do I make use in these last and in these
last few nights you know somehow no luck
there's the hadith and there's a brother
who's asking one of the questions you
know what do I do if you know if I sleep
through the night if I if I don't wake
up and break the omelette the prophets
why some said what he said that praying
fed to the Nareesha in Jumeirah counts
for the entire night of standing up in
salah that is in ramadan as well as
outside of Ramallah so you know an imam
don't claim rahim all I said read that
hadith the other way he said that means
that if a person prayed the entire night
he would just be trying to achieve the
award of someone who prayed for
generation Jumeirah he'd be fighting and
striving the entire night non-stop
trying to achieve what the other person
was able to achieve just by budget and
Aisha in German of the signs of an
accepted Ramadan is that our life
changes even if it were to mean or even
if it was to mean just by a few inches
but the life has changed if my life
changes after Ramadan it means my
Ramadan was correct if my life becomes
better after Ramadan it means my Ramadan
was correct but if my life goes back to
where it was before Ramadan then I
wasted my ramaa bond you know Shaitaan
as we have learned from the Blessed lips
of muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
the devils or the main devils are tied
up in the month of ramadan so what would
happen is it is an opportunity for us to
develop ourselves without major
interference on
the little devils are there and
sometimes we become Devils ourselves my
brothers and sisters it's important for
us to know that Allah has blessed us by
telling us and informing us that the
major Devils are tied up in the month of
Ramadan so my brothers and sisters what
they do sometimes they keep us in a
certain place they tie us down there
before ramadan ramadan goes we happen to
do whatever we do in the month of
ramadan the day we see the eid or the
moon of the reed we go back to exactly
where we were prior to Ramadan what was
the point my brothers and sisters this
is why promise Allah that this eve we
will not engage in that which will earn
the wrath of Allah or make him
displeased with us the reason is as soon
as we see the moon two things happen one
is Ramadan comes to an end that is also
very sad he is declared he is declared
that is something happy because we
deserve a day of rejoicing after so much
of worship of allah subhanahu wata'ala
intense worship of allah subhanahu
wata'ala
but the second thing that happens my
brothers and sisters those Devils ruined
that were tied prior trauma Val they are
released
Subhan Allah and this is why may Allah
protect us from the devil on the day of
Eve many people without knowing or
sometimes knowingly they start to commit
sins that displease Allah yet it is the
day of pleasure the day to please Allah
Subhanahu WA Ta'ala so the clothing that
we are wearing on the day of Eid
especially when it comes to our sisters
let us make sure that it is cut in a way
that will please Allah it is his day it
is his day whatever we plan to do on
that day we should never plan to do
anything that will displease Allah look
my brothers and sisters every time there
is a happy occasion we celebrate it by
increasing the acts of worship so I
explained to you when it comes to
marriage what's a happy occasion we have
an extra-hot but when it comes to
Gomorrah what a happy occasion we have a
football that is something that is not
there on other days
comes to eat the happiness of a Muslim
is shown by extra worship so we have
salat on it we have an extra prayer on
that particular day this is how we as
believers show our happiness and
gratitude to allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala
by obeying him more by doing things that
will please him look at the other in
that we will be having insha Allah in
approximately two and a half months from
now we find we eat well we will be
sacrificing that is an extra act of
worship for the sake of Allah this is
how we declare our happiness we have
never been taught to declare our
happiness by doing that which will
displease Allah we have meetings with
the opposite sex on the day of Eid to go
back and do whatever we did not do in
the month of Ramadan in terms of sin is
that what it is all about sometimes we
become involved in gluttony to the
degree that we eat as though we are
doing Kaabah of what we have missed in
the month of Ramadan if that is the case
we have missed the point
it is the day of eating but it is not a
day of gluttony may allah subhanahu
wa'ta'ala protect us it is not a day
when we are supposed to eat until we get
sick that is not even it is a day when
we are conscious of allah we thank him
for having given us a beautiful season
and having come out with the forgiveness
this is why my brothers and sisters are
you aware of the fact that the eve of
the eid once the moon is cited it is
known as lailatul j isa it is known as
the eve of prize-giving and this is why
in one narration the prophets allah
wahda salam says that allah subhanahu
wa'ta'ala
calls out to his angels on that eve and
he asks them what do you think the
reward of a slave who has fulfilled his
job is they will say o our lord it is to
be given what he was promised so Allah
Subhanahu WA Ta'ala says all my
worshippers who have fasted for me who
have prayed for me all my angels I let
you bear witness that I have forgiven
them completely it is the night of
forgiveness when the prizes are given
you know a child who has been to the
school through the year and worked very
hard is a child that deserves the prize
and there will be a night where
prize is actually given to the child
making the child feel happy what about
the prize dished out by allah subhanahu
wa'ta'ala and that is forgiveness and
freedom from Jahannam if i were to die
now i have no hope but in the mercy of
allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala may Allah have
mercy on myself and yourself
