[SPEAKER_00]: Salam Alaikum, I'm the driver of the ghetto.
[SPEAKER_00]: In this short reminder, my brothers and sisters, I want to share some reflections from what we read tonight.
[SPEAKER_00]: But before I do, I want to take a moment out to thank Imam Abdel Basit and the rest of the Imam's who have to do this every single day.
[SPEAKER_00]: I think Newcastle Central Mosque reads the most.
[SPEAKER_00]: out of the old 442 messages that were visiting, and the last 15 nights.
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that was what 25 pages that they do every single day.
[SPEAKER_00]: May Allah as the original reward our imams, right?
[SPEAKER_00]: And bless them immensely.
[SPEAKER_00]: Allah has not an easy job.
[SPEAKER_00]: Thanian, the congregation who stand up throughout this whole period every single night.
[SPEAKER_00]: I ask Allah Azirat to make you from amongst those that stand, Eman and Wahti Sabah.
[SPEAKER_00]: They do this in Eman, Emo Saddir Khan Bewa Adilah, believing in the reward and the promises of Allah Azirajall, and seeking His face, seeking His road, and the messiness Allah Alives and told us,
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I'm very happy to be here.
[SPEAKER_00]: You see the mischief as a skeleton for a very long time.
[SPEAKER_00]: And now Alhamdulillah is fully functioning.
[SPEAKER_00]: May Allah reward everyone who participated in making the mischief the way it is.
[SPEAKER_00]: A few reflections, my brothers and my sisters are some verses that I read tonight.
[SPEAKER_00]: The first verse when Allah was panoroweth the Alisat.
[SPEAKER_00]: Wa la taku no kallati nakal dattur azlaha.
[SPEAKER_00]: Mimbaad yirku wa tinnan katha.
[SPEAKER_00]: here allows panorotale, he gives an example.
[SPEAKER_00]: He tells us, don't be like that lady.
[SPEAKER_00]: Which lady is referring to?
[SPEAKER_00]: Allah, as the original, he tells us about a lady, who nits and nits and nits.
[SPEAKER_00]: We all know how to nits, right?
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe the men don't, right?
[SPEAKER_00]: Sister's not exactly what I'm talking about.
[SPEAKER_00]: Now you have a tailor machine, but before they use the nits
[SPEAKER_00]: Imagine knitting for hours on end and in SubhanAllah after all that effort you put into knitting whatever you were putting and piecing together, one just rips it.
[SPEAKER_00]: Allah tells us don't be like that lady.
[SPEAKER_00]: Mimbaadiru atin and katha.
[SPEAKER_00]: I normally mention this verse my brothers and my sisters at the end of Ramadan.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I want to mention it now because many a time we get to the end of Ramadan and we can't wait for aid.
[SPEAKER_00]: In other words, some not all, we can't wait to disobey Allah on the day of aid.
[SPEAKER_00]: So you've been knitting and knitting throughout the whole month.
[SPEAKER_00]: Fasting and praying, do as Quran and all the other righteous deeds that we do.
[SPEAKER_00]: Atadibri, the Ahmadis, Sudhu, see the great Mofestil from the righteous predecessors of the past.
[SPEAKER_00]: He says, if I was to tell you that a lady does such, knitting, knitting, and then ripping it, you would say, ma'amakhadi, how stupid is this lady, you would say, he says, you'll find them in the books of Tafsil.
[SPEAKER_00]: Atadibri, right?
[SPEAKER_00]: He says, this is the case of someone.
[SPEAKER_00]: Who breaks the covenant between Him and Allah, is the origin?
[SPEAKER_00]: You promise not to disobey Him and then Subhan Allah, you flush everything down the drain.
[SPEAKER_00]: The Messenger of Allah, he will tell him, He would make the dua Allah, Maint-Ni'a'u, the Bikam-Nal-Hawri, Ba'ad-Dal-Kawr, Ya Allah, I seek refuge in you from the slip that undoes everything.
[SPEAKER_00]: One slip, Fatizilliqadam on badeh thubutihar.
[SPEAKER_00]: This was the verse that we read after.
[SPEAKER_00]: You slip after you were firm.
[SPEAKER_00]: You did all of this Ramadan, my brothers and my sisters, is not just a one month one day, or a one-hit one day.
[SPEAKER_00]: When we worship Allah for 30 days and you will hear, parents say, switch of the TV, switch of Netflix is Ramadan.
[SPEAKER_00]: And yes,
[SPEAKER_00]: We should be extra cautious in the month of Ramadan, but not just Ramadan.
[SPEAKER_00]: The same Lord that we worship in the month of Ramadan is the same Lord that is existing, the remaining 11 months.
[SPEAKER_00]: Right?
[SPEAKER_00]: Some of us might only do certain things in the month and then we just continue where we left off.
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, lah, you've got some ladies on Twitter on X.
[SPEAKER_00]: They post, I have now cut him off for the month of Ramadan, and everyone's like Mashallah.
[SPEAKER_00]: She's going to stop talking to a boyfriend for 30 days.
[SPEAKER_00]: In other words, I can't wait to fall back into his arms on the day of age.
[SPEAKER_00]: Just for 30 days, guys.
[SPEAKER_00]: Place a hack at that.
[SPEAKER_00]: Ramadan is an institution, it's like a bootcamp I call it.
[SPEAKER_00]: When you train for 30 days to become from the righteous Ebadah Rahman, the Oliya of Allah, continuing this, because Allah gives us these opportunities every now and again, He throws us a lifeline, He take it.
[SPEAKER_00]: The scene has been set, the doors of genna have been swung open, the doors of hellfire have been slammed shut, it's so much more easier to worship Allah and then you continue this thereafter.
[SPEAKER_00]: Some of us are going to be destroying our Ramadan on the day of eight.
[SPEAKER_00]: Or should I say the night before eight?
[SPEAKER_00]: You guys know about Manchester, the hawims are out.
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, Allah is like you can see the Shaykh Altina have been released.
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, the night before the aid is that you can see the Shia Al-Teen have been released, Birmingham they have a road as well as called Lady Porot.
[SPEAKER_00]: London, Edgewear Road, and Green Street in East London, in West London, where is the cold south or broadway in Southhold?
[SPEAKER_00]: In Leicester Sharif we have one as well, but it's a lot more Italian.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not saying that because I'm from Leicester on bias, lah, which is being honest here.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if you guys have anything like this in Newcastle.
[SPEAKER_00]: Is there anything like this in Newcastle?
[SPEAKER_00]: Hamdulillah, Newcastle Sharif Khalaz.
[SPEAKER_00]: Right?
[SPEAKER_00]: There's a park, huh?
[SPEAKER_00]: Allah almost died in the park, yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Allah, right.
[SPEAKER_00]: Anyhow my brothers and my sisters, I leave my bethalib, he would come out on the night of aid and he would say, man, this is the Makabul, Fanohani.
[SPEAKER_00]: Who is this person who is Ramadan was accepted so I can congratulate him.
[SPEAKER_00]: One man, this is the Ramadan.
[SPEAKER_00]: Who is this person?
[SPEAKER_00]: Who is Maharam?
[SPEAKER_00]: Who is this Ramadan?
[SPEAKER_00]: I can pay to his.
[SPEAKER_00]: You guys know, to his, where you
[SPEAKER_00]: He wants to do that to some of the ways he's Ramadan.
[SPEAKER_00]: Right, Allah is in our hands.
[SPEAKER_00]: We can destroy it.
[SPEAKER_00]: And you wonder why all of a sudden you e-man drops after the month of Ramadan because on the day of aid be ruined everything.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's Allah as a Jalla'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'
[SPEAKER_00]: I recite today verse, m'na'amina s'hali'han m'indakari'in o'un thawah wa m'omin.
[SPEAKER_00]: Fala'na fi'in, n''na wa khay'a'yata'mpra'i'ida.
[SPEAKER_00]: Right?
[SPEAKER_00]: Allah He says, whoever from the male and the female.
[SPEAKER_00]: Right?
[SPEAKER_00]: Does two things?
[SPEAKER_00]: Two things.
[SPEAKER_00]: Number one is a believer comes with demand.
[SPEAKER_00]: And also does righteous deeds.
[SPEAKER_00]: This person, we will give him that happy life.
[SPEAKER_00]: You do these two things, E-man, faith, and secondly, righteous deeds.
[SPEAKER_00]: He will have that happy life that so many are willing to pay billions for.
[SPEAKER_00]: We all came across that tweet not so long ago, Sahavu, Elon Musk.
[SPEAKER_00]: Right?
[SPEAKER_00]: He posted, whoever said money cannot bring you happiness was actually right.
[SPEAKER_00]: This is the richest man on earth and it was going viral.
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, lie it's so true.
[SPEAKER_00]: Right?
[SPEAKER_00]: It's so true.
[SPEAKER_00]: It can make life easier.
[SPEAKER_00]: But can it bring your happiness absolutely not?
[SPEAKER_00]: Let me give you all my brothers and sisters this whole dunya in one sentence.
[SPEAKER_00]: The way this dunya is my brothers and sisters, it is there, right?
[SPEAKER_00]: It is there to infatuate you.
[SPEAKER_00]: It is there to invite you to have that buzz for a short temporary period.
[SPEAKER_00]: It entices you come, laeless has come the dunya.
[SPEAKER_00]: And you think, once I get that house or once I get that car, I will be happy.
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, that's what many people thought.
[SPEAKER_00]: They'll say to each other just at one time, I do not think that's how long to have a house.
[SPEAKER_00]: La, la, la, I'm not saying that.
[SPEAKER_00]: Providing you get it in the halalway, no problem.
[SPEAKER_00]: Right?
[SPEAKER_00]: He thinks or she thinks to herself, once I get that glitter or glamour from this world, I'll be happy.
[SPEAKER_00]: Some passed away before they get the house before they pick up the keys, while others, they get it, thinking and fine, everything will be great now, and then they are square one.
[SPEAKER_00]: Because nothing in this world will bring you happiness unless you have a heart and this is how Allah created our hearts.
[SPEAKER_00]: It has been created in a way which craves and needs Allah.
[SPEAKER_00]: It needs Allah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Nothing else can give it that contentment and that happiness that everyone so badly wants.
[SPEAKER_00]: No matter what you acquire in this world, it is as simple as that.
[SPEAKER_00]: It entices you making you think, by beautifying itself, you will think, okay, I'll be fine.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll be happy.
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, law here, that's not the case.
[SPEAKER_00]: We've been lied to, and Allah told us, in one sentence, no one.
[SPEAKER_00]: He also told us in Surtaja, when an aarada and decryphate in the low, m'a'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'
[SPEAKER_00]: He's still unhappy.
[SPEAKER_00]: On social media, I get messaged.
[SPEAKER_00]: By people who think they're extremely rich, you go on to their Instagram page and you think he's got the life.
[SPEAKER_00]: He's living it.
[SPEAKER_00]: But then he's messaging Abu Tamey, please, help me.
[SPEAKER_00]: Doesn't need money, he just needs advice.
[SPEAKER_00]: Right?
[SPEAKER_00]: This is this world for you in a nutshell.
[SPEAKER_00]: May Allah Azawaj Al-Ala was to have hearts that are connected to Allah's Hanoat Al-Ala. Having said all of that, my brothers and my sisters, I am not saying, you need to get everything from the dunya and throw it away in that.
[SPEAKER_00]: Allah says in the Quran, when I turn some of you back to the dunya, don't forget your fair share of this world.
[SPEAKER_00]: Ibn Qatir says, min al-Makkulati wa al-Mashrubati wa l-Mur al-Bah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Food, drink, and the things that are permissible.
[SPEAKER_00]: There's no harm taking from this world
[SPEAKER_00]: So how am in that?
[SPEAKER_00]: But when that is your main priority, you wake up for that, and you go to sleep for that?
[SPEAKER_00]: Ah, this is when you're going to find yourself in a very difficult situation.
[SPEAKER_00]: Right?
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not like we're talking about a lot of things, but it's not like they come.
[SPEAKER_00]: And if I took more than the time I apologize.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_00]: Honestly, I'm very, very happy to see you guys.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_00]: You cast the last couple of years has become the first place that we visit.
