brothers and sisters in Islam in our
today in our today's session we're going
to talk
about and may Allah subhana wa ta'ala uh
bless us and may Allah subh help us to
pray its night and fast its day uh first
of all what is the meaning of the itself
the
word
and uh which in Arabic they mean decree
also means also Majesty or high
esteem okay so that is also the meaning
of the word in the Arabic language so
and always there will be a link between
the uh technical definition and the
linguistic meaning there will be always
a thread linking the two so or the night
of means the night of decree or the
night of majesty and nowadays it is
commonly used that the night of power
people they got used to this terminology
and they call it the night of power and
as we know Allah subhana wa taala he can
choose and single out a certain night
and attribute to it a certain Merit or
virtue for instance Allah subh he chose
from among the days the Friday so the
best day is the Friday he chose from
among the months Ramadan he chose from
among the nights n he chose from among
the places
mecah okay so Allah subhana wa ta'ala he
has the right to do that but we cannot
do this we are not allowed to say this
day has certain Merit or
virtue if Allah subh didn't say that or
his prophet sallallahu alaihi
wasallam so nights are the time which
Allah subhana wa ta'ala has designated
for the attainment of spiritual
blessings and power and Allah subhah wa
ta'ala
has addressed his prophet sallallahu
alaihi wasallam in the early days of The
Da when he received the Revelation in
the cave of and he came to Khadijah and
he was saying R me R me and he was in
fear state of fear so Allah subh
immediately addressed him
he addressed him addressed the prophet s
wasallam so Allah subhana wa ta'ala he
addressed his Prophet Salli wasallam oh
you folded in garments rise to pray the
night except a little except a little
that most that means most of the night
he was praying Sall
wasallam why because the way to the
brothers and sisters is a very long way
and it is full of Temptations full of
tests full of Trials so you need to have
strong and firm Faith which will enable
you to carry
on so you need to have that faith in
Allah which Muslims Unfortunately they
lack nowadays we are over 1 billion
Muslims but we are
weightless we don't have that strength
people they ignore us why because of
this we lack the Iman so it is high time
for Muslims to come back to their roots
and to strengthen that Iman and the
moment we turn to Allah subhana taala
Allah subhana wa ta'ala will grant us
the power and the strength and we will
go we will be having the upper hand
again inshallah because what Allah
subhana tala brothers and sisters he
asked from us only two things in
Sur two things he wanted if you are
patient and if you are Pious and
righteous then don't worry about the
rest I will handle them that's what
Allah said so it is high time that's why
the spirituality to work hard in our
hearts and that's why Allah subh asked
his Prophet to stand most of the
night to stand most of the night
he he went through a lot of tortures
they strangled him the prophet Salli
wasallam they put the placenta and the
dirt on his back this what he received
during the course of the dawa but he
never gave up and see how he treated
them when he was having the other
hand that's how he treated them he said
go I will not do anything to you today
and whoever enters the house of Abu
sufyan he is safe and I'm not going to
harm him so what are the things one can
do brothers and sisters on the night of
of power for instance you need to take a
vacation for the last 10 nights and
dedicate these 10 nights only for
worship so you are free for
the do and literally it means seclusion
so when you seclude yourself from the
people and uh technically according to
the definition of the Shar it is to sit
in the
Masid okay you sit in the Masid and
dedicate yourself to the reading the
Quran praying Etc and you don't come
from the which is the Masid that what
the place or always place of is
the so people should not approach the
woman when they are in state of and it
is the Sunnah of the Prophet Sall
wasallam and the prophet wasallam he
practiced this Sunnah and he made in the
beginning of the month of Ramadan as
well as in the the end of the of the
month and his wives as well they did the
same thing also reading the book of
Allah subhana wa ta'ala with reflection
and pondering upon its ayat one should
also work hard
to cleanse and to wipe away his sins
because Ramadan is a chance for us and
you will how how how one can know
whether Allah accepted his deeds or not
the fruit of Ramadan will appear after
the month of Ramadan if after the month
of Ramadan you carried on doing
righteous deeds and Good Deeds this is
inshallah a sign that Allah accepted
your fast but if you immediately after
after day on theid day you went to
square one and you went back to do the
bad Deeds that means you didn't gain
anything from the month of Ramadan
except the hunger and the and the thirst
as mentioned the Hadith so here the
prophet as in bukari and Muslim he is
emphasizing about this issue he said
whoever stands in stands in
prayer why nourishing his faith with
self-evaluation check yourself and you
are seeking by in the Allah's blessings
and reward expecting reward from Allah
will have all of his previous sins
forgiven all your sins that you
committed and perpetrated will be washed
away and will be
forgiven what is the Merit of this night
Allah he said in his
book verily we have sent this Quran down
on the night of Al
and in another place Allah referred to
the same Le to the same
night so the is
the that's why the Quran explains each
other so we Allah that this is the best
way of explaining the Quran if you want
to understand that you explain the Quran
with the Quran or with the Sunnah of the
Prophet Salli wasallam so it is the
where Allah said verily verily we have
sent this Quran down on a blessed night
on a blessed night verily we always warn
the people warn the people Allah he
sends Messengers and Prophets as Warners
to convey the message so no one will
come on the day of judgment and start
saying to Allah well I didn't know no
one came to me no that's why Allah is
saying
in
so Allah subhana waala is just so no one
would have an excuse on the day of
Resurrection no one at all so the Angels
they rebuke them didn't Allah send
Warners to you they said yes but we
didn't listen to them we didn't listen
to them so that's why Allah sent
Messengers and Prophet as Warners to the
people and this blessed night the
prophet Salli wasallam said because in
the
end this night is a blessed night what
will happen on that night the prophet
Sall wasallam said in the authentic
narration the number of angels on Earth
in that night as many as the number of
the
Stars that's why no shooting star will
happen on that night the will not be
able to go up because the angels are
going up and
down so the angels on that night on the
earth as many as the number of the
stars that is the best the the which is
the blessed
night
Abu reported that Allah's messenger
sallallahu alaihi wasallam said Ramadan
has come to you which is we mentioned in
the beginning of our series and what is
relevant to the is the end of the where
he said there in it there is in it in
that Hadith one
night one night that is better than
1,000 months 1,000 months imagine what
if you calculate so only one night so I
should not miss it the whole if I work
hard as the prophet Sall wasallam used
to tight his waist that means
metaphorically working
hard that means metaphorically he's
working hard for the during the last 10
nights and this is the reward that one
night is equivalent to 1,000
month so why should I miss this why
should I miss this this is very
important and he who's denied its
goodness is truly deprived of goodness
if you are
deprived of this goodness of this night
that means you didn't pray that night
or you were not you were not in the mid
that night then you are a loser you lost
a lot of things so that's why the last
10 nights I have to get myself ready
dedicate myself only for in order not to
miss this this night which
is of course which
night uh nobody
knows and there is a secret behind it
there's a wisdom there's a wisdom that's
why you find some Muslim
they only dedicate themselves and they
work hard on the 27th night as if it is
100% 27th so 21st 23rd no they are not
there in the mid for instance but on the
27th you will not find a place for your
foot right M the mids are packed and
full so Allah subh tala there's a wisdom
he wanted us to dedicate ourselves
throughout the month of
Ramadan so in bukari in bukari the
prophet sallam and Muslim in sah Muslim
he said the prophet Sall wasallam seek
it seek it this night on the last 10
nights on the last 10 nights if one of
you is weak let him not miss at least
the last seven nights the last seven
nights and the knowledge of it as we
said it is
hidden uh the prophet Sall Ali wasallam
said this is in bukari he said I was
coming to tell you about the time
of he came out and his intention was to
inform the sah what about
the when so answer disputed
see why we are deprived why we didn't
know now why we don't know it's time
because two Muslims they
argued two Muslims they argued two
Muslims they
disputed he said because so and so
disputed the knowledge of this was
raised
was raised taken and this may be better
for you so seek it on the ninth 7th and
fifth nights after 20 in the old nights
in other words old nights 21st 23rd 25th
27th and
209th
29th so you can see here because two
Muslims they disputed the prophet Allah
made his Prophet to forget
it this means Muslims should not dispute
Muslims should not argue Muslim should
be together Muslims should not unite
upon the truth Muslims should behave as
brotherly because of two Muslims see
what we we lost otherwise it had it
would have been made known to
us the night of the 27th which is this
is in Muslim so that's why it
moves moves during the last 10 nights
the old ones and there will never be any
contradiction between the Hadith of the
Prophet Salli wasallam because someone
might someone might pose the question
and say in this Hadith is say 27th it
coincided it happened to be on that
night on the 27th but it doesn't mean
that it always it will fall on the
27th okay because through while we're
going to know the signs
of the signs
of the uh which the prophet sallallahu
alaihi wasallam uh mentioned we are
going to mention them he said on the
morning of the following the sun rises
without raise the sun rise without raise
normally the sun normally the sun in the
morning when it rises there will be raay
but that night the night before the
second day when you can look to the Sun
and you will find no Rays around it no
rays as if it is just setting so we
conclude that the previous night was the
night of the this is one sign the second
sign it is a moderate night it's neither
cool nor hot third no shooting
stars sh no shooting stars and uh we
conclude inshallah with theth of the
Prophet wasam the Dua which he told
to
this is what we should repeat through
the the the night of the or the last 10
nights may Allah accept our deeds and
your deeds inshallah and help us
inshallah not to
miss and now inshallah we open the floor
for questions that are either related to
the topic or any other topic inshallah
so don't feel hesitant to ask any
question
uh uh Sal please tell me can I
be done in any mid or only in our holy
Three Holy masjids okay this is a good
question because it is a controversial
issue all the time first of all Allah
said so he said
Al so here this word is generic
term it's General it can be applied to
any Masid it can be applied to any Masid
but there is a Hadith which is authentic
Hadith the prophet said there is no
except in the three
mosques so what does it mean the scholar
they say the Hadith is is correct and
there will never be contradiction
between Quran and Hadith put this in
mind so what does it mean it means the
scholar they say yes the in the three
masjids is the best and the reward will
be the highest reward you will achieve
but this does not gate or does not mean
that it's not permissible to perform in
other masjids though the best thing that
when you want to make you choose a Masid
which is we call Masid
J that a Masid where the J will be
conducted the reason the scholar they
say why J why in order that you would
not go and leave the Masjid okay to pray
jum so the jum is in the same Masid so
when you intend to make look for a Masid
that J is conducted in it so that you
will not be uh you will not feel the the
necessity will not be compelled to
remove leave the Masjid and pray go to
pray the jum in another Masjid that's it
so this is something recommended and
something uh must inshallah
Yes
dear is it better for a Muslim woman
Muslim woman uh to pray in the Masid or
at home during Ramadan yeah okay uh of
course the the Hadith of the prophet
sallam in general he said that the best
place for a woman the best place for a
woman is her home her house okay that's
the best place no doubt but let's say
that if she prays at home she will not
have she will not have homage she will
not have concentration in her Salah
okay can she go and pray in the Masjid
yes she
can because why the prophet wasam said
she can pray at home because that's the
best place for her but if at home she
cannot pray the children will make her
drive her nut and make her crazy and
she'll not be able to concentrate then
it is better to go to the Masjid and you
should not stop her from going to the
Masjid uh any more
questions
yes
uh in some places especially where I
come from uh some people have some
superstitions and uh misconceptions
about
the for example some people say if I
sleep this night and I have a dream of
getting money or marrying a specific
woman that will happen for certain uh
what's your opinion about these
misconceptions and superstitions yeah
these are fairy tales these are fairy
tales people they think and people they
also say that we see the
on the night of and if you see the and
you can ask him whatever you like and of
course by the way the had already died
and passed away and the is one of the
prophets of Allah subhah wa taala and
had the been alive he would have come
and give the B and the B to the prophet
Sall wasallam
and he refuted this in his book so died
okay so now uh now the uh the issue is
that uh this uh sub or superstitious
beliefs we have to get rid and the only
way to get rid of this is by learning
the Sunnah of the Prophet Sall alaihi
wasallam may Allah accept our deeds and
yours or may Allah increase our knowled
in his de a mean
