0:00السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته my brothers and sisters a week of Ramadan is over every year before we know it Ramadan comes to an end and we have not yet achieved what we wanted to for this beautiful month of Ramadan for that reason I want to say tonight my brothers and sisters if there is something you planned to do for Ramadan and you have not yet done it please let's start doing it now the amount of Qur'an you're reading the amount of Ibadah acts of worship that you are fulfilling the amount of tarawih you are fulfilling perhaps the other acts of worship something that you always wanted to do the resolutions that you have made for Ramadan make sure you are fulfilling them take stock of your deeds and ensure that this next part of Ramadan is going to be even better than these few days that have passed many of the masjids around the world try to complete the Qur'an in Ramadan so by now they finished approximately a third of the Qur'an

1:03imagine a third of that recitation is already done so there is a little bit remaining my brothers and sisters Alhamdulillah Allah has blessed us in such a way that at least we have food for Iftar did you know there are people out there who do not have food for Iftar they have to open their fast at times with a little bit of water perhaps not even that in some circumstances I remember someone asking one of the scholars can we break our fast just by our intentions if we are leaking our lips with the intention that this is the opening of the fast because we have absolutely no food no drink to open the fast with just imagine that question the fact that they ask the question already shows that you and I need to do more to reach out to those who don't have so this Ramadan make it a Ramadan with a difference give out as much as you can in terms of charity and like I always say the charity of your choice

2:06may Allah Almighty make it easy for us some one you trust some place that you know the food will get to the recipient and in jalla in that particular way we will be able to maximize the reward of this wonderful month of Ramadan may Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala help us so that we don't waste our nights and our days and may Allah make us maximize the benefit from this beautiful month Jazakammu Allah here Assalamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakat
