In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. All praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds. Peace and blessings be upon the most honorable prophets and messengers. Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, and upon his family and companions. He has been delivered many times. Then, the next one is from Abu Hurairah. It was narrated by Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, who said that Rasulullah said, Whoever fasts in Ramadan and fasts the month of Ramadan out of faith and in the hope of reward, he or she would be forgiven their previous sins. My brothers and sisters, as I mentioned before, the purpose of our life is to worship Allah subhanawatar. And the goal of our life is to get Jannah. It is to get the Rida of Allah, the pleasure of Allah and Jannah. Now Allah subhanawatar could have left it like that. So you do one, you get one. You do one good deed, you get one hasana. You do one evil, you get one sayyya. But Allah subhanawatar did not leave it like that. Allah subhanawatar gave us accelerators. Allah gave us accelerators. So for example, Allah subhanawatar said, Manjaa abil hasanati falahu ashruu amthalihaa. The one who comes with one good deed, Allah will give him ten likewise. So the minimum reward and return we get from Allah subhanawatar is one is to ten. Now in Ramadan, Allah subhanawatar opens the doors of His infinite mercy. So in Rahudan, Rasulullah said to told us that, first of all, the hadith which I narrated for you, that a person who is fasting, and that’s why the niya is very important, innama ala amalu bi niyaatuhu kawakala alayhi salatu was salam. The reward of the deed is based on its intention, so let us correct our intention. So if we fast with the intention of iman and ahdisabar, we fast with faith, with complete yaqeen. Why are you fasting? Because Allah told me, I believe in Allah, I believe in the Day of Judgment, and I’m fasting to please Allah. Ahdisabar, I look forward to the reward from Allah subhanawatar. I’m a beggar, I come to Allah for His gift, for His generosity. I’m seeking charity from Allah. And I do that, Ahdisabar said, ghafar Allaho ma taqaddama min dambihi. Allah will forgive all his previous sins, we ask Allah for this. So the purpose of that is to come to Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala and beg Him to forgive us. Now when we give charity, Allah, as I said, Allah has made accelerators. So in Ramadan, Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala gives the reward of a fardh for every nafil ibaidah. There was a sunnah, you get the reward of fardh for nafil, you get the reward of fardh. You pray tarawi, you’re getting the reward of fardh. And for the fardh, Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala increases the reward by 70 times. Normal time you would have got one, now you get 70 times. Think about that. In Ramadan, if a person, even if a person is sleeping, it is counted as worship. So Allah has given us accelerators. Let us take full advantage of that. Stay far away from any disobedience of Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala. And focus on pleasing Allah. Nothing more, nothing else. Because nothing is more valuable. They ask Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala for his help in pleasing Him. Wasallallahu ala nabiyyil kareem wa ala aalihi wa sahbihi wa min barakutikari wa rahim.
