Fa and we know that so many of our arguments or so many problems in society is saved and Sol just as it take fire many times yes or no we can all think in our Liv that to some point where you know if I just didn’t say that that time then this would
Happen so Allah teaches us in the month of Ramadan that some of these things are for you but hold don’t do it and then number three we mentioned Unity we mentioned that in the month of Ramadan we be more and more people coming to the Masid and I mentioned that in the mid
The mid maybe on the on the surface of this planet it is what shows you equal people the m is the most equal place that you will find I’ll give you an example people that stand and TR is there any preference if you are rich or
Poor or you white or black or brown or asan is there any question only the people of understanding should be the ones that are directed behind the reason for this is because sometimes the the IM might l r do or might become unconscious or whatever if he’s
Incapacitated so you need someone who to do to take it St so we find equality and unity that is represented in theth ofan so the wisdom that we discussed then we mentioned you know the definition of fas right we also mention the things that are Mak while
Fasting that are dislike we also talked about the things that are while fasting some of the things that are while fasting do you remember there are few things important those are those we cover today in what is why we are talking any one of the sun is to
Eat very close to the time of the end of you remember this there’s one that mention what the prophet how many be recited between when theet began to eat and sunrise do you remember 6 I give the example good so the the prophet the time he started and between
The time sunrise would happen not Sunrise but Dawn such would take end could Le 50 hours this not a very long time about 10 to 15 minutes and then we also talked about one of the sunnas which is that as soon as time comes we should to break the from that
The some of the believe right to is not something that is recomended sometimes you know the calendar is that reasonable five minutes even five minutes maybe two three minutes want to but you know in today’s time this is the most accurate timing that we have gotten ever in maybe
Human history right you know exactly at what time the sun we have very accurate astronomical information about that so maybe one or two minutes you can wait I need to look side you can see you know uh but to delay you know five minutes 10 minutes is us if want you can
Ask very good question I’ll actually will be part of actually okay so we talked about we talked about things we talked about fasting right we talked about things that bre the fast the difference between and right what is what is what is yeah so very good so is you miss for
Example one FAS and you start fasting then you make that up and the other scenarios where can happen means you have to pass 60 days consecutively and if somebody starts for 60 days and in between the breakup then I happen to start again and then we talked about a
Person who cannot do kasara by fasting like a person who is older or a person who has a medical condition and they cannot be a then what is the reason for them I something another action before that not an action but what you’re supposed to do before that if the person
Can pass dur remember this right we can’t so if the person can pass dur winter then like if because winter day time is for so if somebody can fast dur those hours the that’s one you’re supposed to do the days at that time and if somebody cannot
Then you pay the fidia and what is the amount of fidia 2 meal a day 2 me a day uh no for one person a day every day for 30 days B and uh if a person does not give an actual then the monetary amount what is the monetary amount for
Basically it’s half of of we basically which is basically. the I don’t know if there a discuss what exactly the is do you guys have I can so we know that there different types of that can be given the weat amount the Bas amount raisin are different amounts
That we can do but in case so basically time 60 so let’s say 600 that’s what the has to okay and then so we made the difference between and Kasa and we went over some scenarios which ones we call which one we call Kasa and then I gave a
Principle I gave one principle for when is due and when is due one General principle that help different princi it will make your life EAS this is one principle that I mention that you won even have to ask question if you know this principle the principle is
Something has to go through the GI everyone remembers this the in basically from the mouth and basically the two extremities that we have in the body and then we went over some scenarios like for example if a person pick an injection right which is go through the so and then we also mentioned
Another principle that something has to be is not re to it doesn’t remember the principle right the principle is that something is injested to the GI that is generally Ed that’s the principle and if you have if you remember this principle then you don’t have to you know ask
Question it doesn’t have to do with the food but we did mention one scenario in which the the food is considered like for example if a person already had food in their M before like you know sometimes you eat some L you might have a piece of meat like or
Something remember the ring for this then time came on then swallowed that then it happens what the ring for that is it less than a CH then it’s okay if it’s more than a chick depends if it’s imp or un okay so this was some review so in
Today we can get into our discussion so today what we’ll discuss is generally fasting there are different categories of fasting some types of you know like Sal for example there different categories of Sal some some are some are you can some are right so just like that there are also categories of
Fting and I’ll go over each one of them there are seven different categories number one is oblig I’m sure everyone here can guess which on are the fast is Ramadan this is right somebody said you know I don’t feel like f something obligation so obviously those are able to and
Then within the fast of Ramadan there’s and there’s right means that you’ve offered it at the time of Ramadan means that you make it of both of these are to do later this is also to do this is also and then the theast of the book mentioned is basically which
Say right basically means like you say Allah if you make meam if I become a doctor then we understand what so if a person does then this is also hard to to to perform this this St because he made a promise with Allah the next category uh if a person starts anything
To complete it is for example if a person stries that something happen in between the to of today to to remake this to reer this is does this sense anything that has been started it wasn’t not to compl it same thing with if a person has the habit of doing some or some
Muscle then to make this up is also so it’s not optional for example what are some scenarios when a person would have to break so f m f even the prophet Sall the person should break the FAS that do you know medical emergency this one what
Else very not invited but if you have if you have guests in your home and it will make the guest feel uncomfortable that they eat alone then in that case the prophet s was recommended us to actually bre the fast to make up that fast this is
Actually okay fast is to fast on the 10th of this is called final so to to fast one day before or one day after so 9 and 10 or 10 and 11 some say that you can it’s better even to fast three days this some scholar of this and some schol because the
Specifically specifically mention that to do one day with with the time so 9 10 or 11 to do two okay uh also to fast three days of every month the white day also known as the radiant days which days are they in the lunar month 13 14 so those three days is
Also but it’s better to call it because the prophet used to do this and also on a weekly basis she fast on Monday and this is also theast of this is also so what parts of fast number one the fast is the day before from long and then you have the right
Day and then you have weekly Monday and Thursday and then the so basically four fast and then voluntary fast is any other any other then you have or you can even say Haram right uh does anyone know when it’s Haram to both and also and also what
Else yeah so and then three days after this is more okay so five day in the whole year and the three days after which is known as can also identify by when you okay and then you have you have kind of lower level of which is for example to fast on any uh
Any day that other other people fast like for example the basically they us to fast on certain days they had a day called this was a special day for them and these two fast on that day so to fast exactly on the same day as them this also becomes
Natural this is being this is any one thing that we see that the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam made very fair to do is to establish Islamic identity and it’s worth giving a few minutes to understand this because they very important and sensitive topic especially for us you know living in the
W living uh you know in America this is a multicultural country we live with all sorts of people right you know this uh last semester the semester before that I was looking at some of the courses at and I was wondering to take there’s one about
Languages in New York City gu how many languages are listed in New York City 70 languages what the course discussion had in more than language is just in New York City think about this just in New York City yor am something astonishing that you have more than 80 languages justar to
Thean so what I mentioning is to establish identity it’s okay to be friendly with others there’s nothing wrong with that the prophet sallallahu Ali was a very neighly person as a matter of fact you know when he came to Madina he is basically the first person that established peace amongst everybody
In Madina there’s something called The known as the constition of and the prophet basically made agreen to deal with the Jewish tribes there and the Christians there and the Muslims that were living there that they will not you know people they live peacefully and into so the prophet was very respectful
To his neighbors and to his fellow you know people so this is also IDE this is something that we have to do but it’s important to establish our identity and this is also what the prophet did that when it came to the fast of the day of because the Jewish people fasted the
Prophet said that we are we are actually more rightful more deserving to follow than right and therefore he said so f one day before and one day one day after similarly for example in where the Prophet says that if you the wear it with a hat Under because the mus
The polic is they wear it without a hat right without a so many many examples see that the prophet s actually show us that this is Islamic identity and also in one of his long about you after the month of Ramadan on the day and you will see also the
Those understand don’t understand I enourage you learn is possible so on the day of see that will recite one and that the prophet wasallam he said might you might have heard it so many times every nation every people they have days of they have days where they Rejoice
Themselves this this is when we enjoy our right again the prophet ising that these are our days ofo these are our days ofal and know other days for other people to have FES right why am I mentioning all of this because this is why the the they
Wrote that it’s to fast when you know people of other religion if you are single enough that day to to fast then it becomes does that sense okay um like this also to to fast there a fast that’s known as basically to fast all the time every single day this is
Also why because in one the prophet the three people that came to the house of the Prophet you guys do have so and they ask the family of the what is his wor of life and so you know the prophet he describes this this is
This is how fair this is how fate and she describes said the prophet s you know this is what he does and the the sah that came there they were like oh you know actually I will do this one person said every single life I will
Stay up and pay the another person said I ask every single and the prophet when he heard this he got accept he said do you think are you trying to compete with obviously no human being theet can they is it possible person most nobody can theet right as a matter
Of fact the closest relationship that Allah has with any human being forget any human being any Teater is the prophet you know that dur went you know he went to all the all the SKS and and then after that there was a point he said there’s between me and
Allah and if I even one of those then I will be completely disted but the prophet cross there is so the closest feature to Allah is the Prophet The Prophet to complete you know some days I fast some days moderation moderation is important this that to fast every single day
Continuously something that is also to fast two days consecutively without any or consecutively like you don’t eat even at night days cons this is also well it’s going to be more like 36 but yeah basically that’s the because you wasting in the morning doing one day and so roughly
30 so this is also something that is considered so we went over the seven types of then to then to and basically and then you know and okay we talked about how does basically the the month of Ramadan get the basically to rely on so a few things uh number one I’ll
Mention what we have in the book for and then um I get into the question of this Islam’s relationship with what is the relationship between so uh and we know the month of the Islamic calendar the lunar calendar they established by the lunar Circle not the Solar Circle right we know that the
Gorian calendar like for example January February this the the cyle of the the the basically the I want say but it’s not the motion of Sor no it’s not like this when I’m looking for the or any so the Islamic months are through the lunar C
So the way we know that the next month the new month has started is basically by the siding of the Ching of the new and the requirement that is there uh if for the beginning of the month of Ramadan if there cloud like let’s say there’s obstruction not
Only Cloud but any kind of atmospheric conditions that in a frog or something like that but theing of one upright for person which is sufficient right for the completion of the month of Ramadan before then there must be at least two three male Witnesses and if not two male
Witnesses then one male and that’s basically for the end of Ramadan so B if there are no obstruction in this there there is no atmospheric condition no Cloud no you know fog or anything like that then there must be a large body what we know large body of people because there’s
Noite the new and now when it comes to Global versus local versus you know astronomical culation explain this uh in in a very short summary because not necessarily the to of all so if you if you go back to the time of the Prophet for right everyone is very
Localized in the sense that the people of Medina were aware of the things in Medina like I said you know that we ask imperfect today so if you want to say something negative to somebody all you have to take all you have to do is call
Your phone and read a couple words and right back in the days if you were angry at somebody what do you have to do you wanted to say something to them and they live in a different city what do you have to do you not only that you write a letter
Give it to the prison the pris finds person by the time you finish writing the letter like I don’t want to write this I’m not even I’m not it’s not even so my point of mentioning this is that things were a lot more localized today things worldwi we have social media we
Have the news right anything that happens you know hours of flight away we can find out about you know or even maybe instant as it happen rights to this and there confusions that are also caus by this the benefits of it are actually very great for example
Right now the situation in in Gaza the reason why we are so aware of it and as a matter that’s more than ever more than other in history even non-muslims non they’re also more aware of it why because it’s not just coming from and cos right it’s coming from independent sources
Decentralized media basically people on redit people on you know Twitter people I guess butro right people are just sharing basically media so there are benefits of that there’s also disadvantages that we’re to aware of things that happen you know for example you find a person say oh the of
Is on this day then why are we doing it differently here is a common question that a lot of people have at the same time can somebody ask this question is theer over there at this time why Beed Beed the same can follow so Bally these are confusing
These are not bad questions I’m not going to say they bad question just confusing like you have too much information right now what do you do with that information so in the time of the Prophet things were very localized there’s one in the time of om one person
Was visiting from outside of Madina right and he came to Madina and he was about to go back and he asked he said should I follow the hiding that was done in or should I go back to my people and see what they’ve done follow that and he
Said look if you reach there before then follow what they say don’t follow what is happening here again things were very very decentralized very localized so the the local pH this is very con but the from the keep basically local right like how far is is it city is country this
Country something that hased together there’s a lot to be said about the idea of B there are many authors that have written paper on this the idea of this kind of like social concept this invented idea of a Nation a nation is not something real somebody is not even something real why
Is this not something real bers Allah made at the end of the day we’re one United our Brotherhood our fraternity for the sake of Allah doesn’t matter where the Border ends tomorrow there might be a new B right so so what is local what is C generally
The the M of the last country they have agreed that roughly where an entire like for example if you were to s from one place to apply it to another place would be a completely different B the The Sting can can apply that’s considered local in my opinion this is a
Very wide definition of local because that’s like maybe one of the don’t very local the the majority of Bally then you have the global position the global position the global position means that anywhere in the world where the one excited this is sufficient for people to follow it this is something
That some have opted for in this Camp you also have two groups one black follows the the kingom of Saudi Arabia and one that Saudi Arabia is not allow will follow any other side ex Saudi Arabia we also have this the reason for this is because there are many times
When announc that they said oh somebody started the moon but astronomically it’s impossible that anybody coulded the moon at that kind of again like I said now we have enough technology that we can tell when these are called actually visibility map right you can see you can
See maps if you guys want I can show examples of it with you basically you can see where the moon will be visible and roughly around what time right astronomically we can know going to be visible what’s not going to be Vis so how somebody CED the moon at that time
Inside even with aope basically have been incom right so this is why some some Global counil they discredit Saudi Arabia so was in the B Camp you have like two two opinion the third Camp which is much more recent and new new opinion is to follow astronomical calculations astronomical
Calculations will say we will try we will calculate some years like the next let’s say 15 years we will calculate will it be possible for people to sight the moon or not right if it is possible for them to sight that means that the month of Ramadan will s and if it’s not
Possible astronomically the mon ofan Bally three calculation what humans usually would have done he you know look the first that we we were we are nations we are a nation of people that are not very literate but today we have enough sence and techology so we can know for
The next 15 20 25 50 years when the moon come before this MO is out before this let’s follow the calculation however is actually a very strange and minority if you look in the like 12 1300 years of Islamic scholarship you will only find like five people that have
Held the one of them was very famous prop caller and majority of the SS disagreed with on this right so you will not find too many op there literally among thousands of within the history of thousands of Dr within the history you will find literally five people roughly five
People who have held this opinion so it’s a very minority opinion and it’s something that has been adopted much more recently and the reason for adopting it is mostly so that people can tell their work or the school that you know this is what they and I need
Some these are the different uh opinions my recommendation to you is whichever Masid is your local mid and local community ior local commun the one that you know you’re comfortable with you like being on there you ask all your questions you all the programs there I will uh whatever they’re doing just follow
That there’s no need to you know the other thing I say if there’s one Scher one one whoever but you have a good connection right and you always ask him your question you can ask him and whatever he told you just follow right but I’ve laid out the three or four
Different positions right one was L one this is the faat thees because that’s what was done since the of the prophet and you know and Muslim is clear when you see the purpose is not whether the mo is there or not the purpose Isa see it or right the is very clear
There are multiple there’s over 30 for this right so you can the position Global is also an accepted position and is a very recent position that and IM has decided to adopt but from a evidence based perspective it’s not very Comm but again some I wouldn’t say that this is
Something that you disting overing start now like I said that if you rely on one you like one then just follow them and yeah so I just he said that we mentioned a few categories for fasting and within there we had you know M and for fast you know some people Jo
The fast dur Theon to fast as long as it’s not on the day right and then 10 11 12 right these four days if they’re testing in these four days then that’s not permissable other than that anytime before that anytime ask some people go early for some people later so if this
Yeah so I’m not aware of the exact details of basicness so I can’t give you like a exact but I’ll give you the general guideline um generally for any medical condition what I would recommend the proper way to do it is you find either a Muslim knowledgeable doctor if you can not for
Example there SCH medical doctors like Dr mtip that are also follow like all 30 and you know you can ask that’s one option often is that you you take what theor has said and you take itain EXA what the mus do do research for example when I was a
Student in the when I was studying to become a mus we received questions like that like as a medical nature you know kind of person perform andar do this and do that them to take like can you know like visic marijuana for medical purp so
We have to on what we did is we always collaborated with do with the experts medical experts so you can combine that basically to explain the actual condition and see the condition and you know this is valid uh a lot of time a non-muslim doctor will not really understand the significance of something
And like exactly how how bi they’re not go to an actual medical and then take the that’s but if it’s basically something that is Rec that she cannot be then the other option again like I said winter it’s better it’s easier for her to pass that time because the day
Service that’s what that’s the first priority she should do remake during that time days even that like that’s a very good question actually a lot of people have this question if you already have some and from the previous Ramadan then is that a problem for the next Ramadan it’s not
You can fast for this Ramadan finish it and then do the for last year for p five years or the last 15 years whatever you can do them anytime you don’t delay you delay them it never happens so it’s not an doesn’t become an obstacle for this no no you cannot combine two
Intentions in one so any whether it’s Sal or whether it’s like for example I cannot start today and make intention that I’m fting for Ramadan and also for the for you cannot actually any in with I cannot I’m but also one to or like something you can’t combine other in question
Okay so very good question if you haven’t missed any other C of in your life and this is very for most people this is very even for my Cas this is so if a patient has never missed any Sal in their in their life when they miss
Their first few Sal they no basically what they’re supposed to do is they’re supposed to those Sal in sequence like the then before they they can PR they have to finish their prayers and then they can PR they some uh however majority of people they miss more than five right if a person
Has missed more than five Sal in their life then any time you can do so if you’re asking can I just do nothing instead no you have to do so for example you miss then my recommendation would be that tomorrow after St make intention
Of and so on and so forth but you have to make intention that this okay there are other questions then for attending I’m hoping the most of you have attended all whole session and so we’ve learned so much me and you both you with one small thing this might feel like
A thisr is going to happen the person who comes to seek knowledge says that the Angels they lay down the W out respect for these people right and in the same the prophet s that the entire creation the of Allah as one as these people are seeking knowledge
Making for their forg and the prophet says even the and the SE they also making for forget com except some good things but he came to learn or he is in the rank of the person who fighting and giving his life in the of all of you and all of well and accept
