00:00:18
Assalamu alaikum. My brothers and sisters, here in
00:00:18–>
00:00:19
Al Madin al Munawara,
00:00:20–>
00:00:22
it is the 23rd night of
00:00:23–>
00:00:24
Ramadan.
00:00:24–>
00:00:25
Possibility,
00:00:25–>
00:00:26
this could be.
00:00:27–>
00:00:29
What do we do? Firstly,
00:00:34–>
00:00:36
Oh Allah, you are most forgiving. You love
00:00:36–>
00:00:39
to forgive, so forgive us. You could say,
00:00:40–>
00:00:41
which means forgive me.
00:00:42–>
00:00:44
I am praying for all of you that
00:00:44–>
00:00:47
Allah forgive all of us collectively
00:00:47–>
00:00:48
and grant us.
00:00:49–>
00:00:52
May Allah forgive every single one of us.
00:00:52–>
00:00:53
May our lives improve
00:00:54–>
00:00:56
in every possible way.
00:00:56–>
00:00:57
And may we ultimately
00:00:58–>
00:00:59
achieve Jannatul Firdaus.
00:01:00–>
00:01:02
Do you know that if you haven’t done
00:01:02–>
00:01:03
too much extra
00:01:04–>
00:01:05
during this night,
00:01:06–>
00:01:07
for whatever reason,
00:01:08–>
00:01:10
at least you should have stayed away from
00:01:10–>
00:01:11
sin?
00:01:11–>
00:01:14
So to stay away from sin, is the
00:01:14–>
00:01:15
first step
00:01:15–>
00:01:17
in achieving the pleasure of Allah.
00:01:18–>
00:01:18
Thereafter,
00:01:19–>
00:01:22
once we’ve stayed away from sin, we fulfill
00:01:22–>
00:01:23
our
00:01:23–>
00:01:26
duties and obligations unto Allah because not fulfilling
00:01:26–>
00:01:28
them would be sinful as well.
00:01:29–>
00:01:31
So the second step is to stay away
00:01:31–>
00:01:32
from that which is futile,
00:01:33–>
00:01:36
like a waste of time. People play games.
00:01:36–>
00:01:37
People sit and chit chat.
00:01:38–>
00:01:41
Nothing beneficial at all. If it is about
00:01:41–>
00:01:43
the deen, if it is about something beneficial,
00:01:44–>
00:01:48
if it is teaching someone, learning something, listening
00:01:48–>
00:01:50
to something that would motivate you to do
00:01:50–>
00:01:52
more, and so on, those are acts of
00:01:52–>
00:01:55
worship that are counted by Allah. If they
00:01:55–>
00:01:57
are done on a night like this, it’s
00:01:57–>
00:01:57
okay.
00:01:58–>
00:02:00
So at least you would not be spending
00:02:00–>
00:02:02
your time doing something futile. People sit and
00:02:02–>
00:02:06
watch telly. People spend time on social media.
00:02:06–>
00:02:08
This night is not for that. It is
00:02:08–>
00:02:09
really
00:02:10–>
00:02:12
to engage in that which will please Allah.
00:02:12–>
00:02:15
So we seek the forgiveness of Allah.
00:02:15–>
00:02:18
We abstain from that which is sinful, obviously.
00:02:19–>
00:02:19
We
00:02:20–>
00:02:23
try to ensure we don’t waste our time.
00:02:24–>
00:02:26
And then don’t be lazy. You must make
00:02:26–>
00:02:29
an effort to get up and at least
00:02:29–>
00:02:29
pray
00:02:30–>
00:02:31
some extra units of prayer.
00:02:32–>
00:02:36
2, 4, 6, no fixed number. But, masha’Allah,
00:02:36–>
00:02:38
the more, the merrier, the better it is.
00:02:39–>
00:02:40
And
00:02:40–>
00:02:42
then you end with a witter.
00:02:43–>
00:02:44
It’s preferred that you end it with a
00:02:44–>
00:02:45
witter.
00:02:48–>
00:02:51
You should try and make the last prayer
00:02:51–>
00:02:52
of the night the witter prayer.
00:02:53–>
00:02:55
And thereafter, you make dua, call out to
00:02:55–>
00:02:57
Allah, raise your hands, you know, and ask
00:02:57–>
00:02:58
Allah
00:02:59–>
00:03:00
to grant you.
00:03:00–>
00:03:02
Start off with the salutations
00:03:03–>
00:03:05
upon Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam,
00:03:05–>
00:03:06
then
00:03:06–>
00:03:07
praise Allah a lot
00:03:08–>
00:03:10
and declare his greatness and then seek his
00:03:10–>
00:03:11
forgiveness.
00:03:12–>
00:03:13
And then ask Allah whatever you want and
00:03:13–>
00:03:17
keep repeating the duas. No problem. May Allah
00:03:17–>
00:03:19
grant us our dreams. May Allah grant us
00:03:19–>
00:03:21
our wishes. May Allah remove us from our
00:03:21–>
00:03:23
problems and hardships and difficulties.
00:03:24–>
00:03:26
May Allah Almighty grant us cure, protect us,
00:03:26–>
00:03:29
give us good health, grant us sustenance, grant
00:03:29–>
00:03:29
us
00:03:30–>
00:03:32
beautiful, amazing homes that
00:03:32–>
00:03:36
bring about calmness, contentment, and coolness to ourselves.
00:03:36–>
00:03:38
May Allah bless our children and bless those
00:03:38–>
00:03:40
who are not married with spouses.
00:03:40–>
00:03:42
May Allah bless our parents,
00:03:42–>
00:03:44
our siblings, our our grandchildren,
00:03:45–>
00:03:45
our children,
00:03:46–>
00:03:47
our grandparents
00:03:47–>
00:03:50
perhaps, whoever is alive. May Allah grant them
00:03:50–>
00:03:52
goodness whoever’s passed away. May Allah have mercy
00:03:52–>
00:03:54
on them. May Allah Almighty
00:03:54–>
00:03:57
assist each one of us in whatever difficulties
00:03:57–>
00:03:58
we’re going through.
00:03:59–>
00:04:01
SubhanAllah. So those are the type of duas
00:04:01–>
00:04:01
we make.
00:04:02–>
00:04:05
And we end off also declaring the praise
00:04:05–>
00:04:07
of Allah and sending blessings and salutations
00:04:07–>
00:04:10
upon the prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him.
00:04:10–>
00:04:12
But remember, ultimately, Aisha
00:04:13–>
00:04:15
asked the prophet, peace be upon him,
00:04:15–>
00:04:18
what should I say if I meet,
00:04:18–>
00:04:20
the night of decree or Laylatul Qadr? And
00:04:20–>
00:04:21
she said,
00:04:21–>
00:04:22
say,
00:04:24–>
00:04:27
oh Allah, you are most forgiving. You love
00:04:27–>
00:04:29
to forgive, so forgive me. That hadith proves
00:04:29–>
00:04:32
that the most important thing we’re supposed to
00:04:32–>
00:04:34
achieve here is actually the forgiveness of Allah.
00:04:35–>
00:04:36
So as I said,
00:04:36–>
00:04:38
don’t only pray for yourself.
00:04:39–>
00:04:41
Learn to pray for others because each time
00:04:41–>
00:04:43
you think about about other people and you
00:04:43–>
00:04:45
pray for them and their sufferings and their
00:04:45–>
00:04:47
issues and whatever else it may be, the
00:04:47–>
00:04:50
angels are actually praying for you.
00:04:50–>
00:04:52
I pray that these few words would help
00:04:52–>
00:04:54
us and I ask Allah Almighty to grant
00:04:54–>
00:04:55
us every goodness.
00:05:00–>
00:05:02
The prophet, peace be upon him, said, look
00:05:02–>
00:05:05
for Laylatul Gadad in the last 10 nights
00:05:05–>
00:05:05
of Ramadan.
00:05:06–>
00:05:08
Amongst the last 10 days is a night
00:05:08–>
00:05:10
better than a 1000 months.
00:05:10–>
00:05:13
Make the most of these auspicious nights and
00:05:13–>
00:05:14
multiply your reward.
00:05:15–>
00:05:18
Feed the hungry, shelter the needy, empower the
00:05:18–>
00:05:21
poor, and spread smiles amongst orphans.
