So brothers and sisters, so therefore what are the conditions of the promised forgiveness
0:05
from Allah to get the full reward and to be forgiven in Ramadan? Number one, your faith,
0:10
number two, sincerity, seeking Allah's pleasure and reward. If you're not sincere, you're not going
0:15
to be anticipating the rewards. You're going to say, what's that for? All I get is hunger and
0:18
tiredness. And number three, avoiding major sins, three conditions. You can say them to me,
0:25
first condition, to receive the forgiveness and the full reward of fasting. Number one,
0:29
clear faith. Number two, sincerity and dissipating the reward from Allah. Because if you don't
0:34
believe in the year after, you're not going to have sincerity. And number three, avoiding,
0:38
avoiding major sins. Do these three and avoid the major sins in Ramadan and you'll be in
0:43
shay Allah among those who goes under the, you'll be a candidate. All right, to receive
0:50
forgiveness and the reward. What about the minus sins? The minuses get washed away.
0:55
The Prophet peace be upon him said, you're five daily prayers from prayer to prayer and your
1:01
Juma Friday to Friday and Ramadan to Ramadan are expiators. They wash away all the sins,
1:07
the minus sins that occurred in between them, either sht. On condition that you avoid the major
1:14
sins, the Hadith is inscribed Muslim. However, the minus sins we have to work on them,
1:18
it also sometimes describes some of the minus sins. He says, you know how he says,
1:22
a man or even a woman, because whenever we say man in his woman as well, who in their family,
1:27
they say words they shouldn't have said. They acted in certain ways towards their
1:31
husband or their wife or their children or their parents, they shouldn't have said minor things
1:35
that are temporary or they said something they shouldn't have said to their neighbor or they
1:40
harmed their neighbor in some way, which is minor. Examples like that, he said, the prayers and the
1:45
fasting and your Sadaqat, the charity that you give wipes them away. They are things that don't
1:50
stay for long, as for major things, stealing theft, drinking alcohol, drugs, well they are the
1:56
binna, zinnah, adultery, fornication, riba, usering, usery from the banks, interests. We're not
2:03
talking about people who are in a severe case of necessity, by the way. Talking about people who
2:08
casually just take it without no care, that's another topic, or people who accuse others of
2:14
heinous crimes, putting their life in turmoil. These are all signs, these are major sins which a
2:20
person needs to repent from. Moving on brothers and sisters. Has the news been getting you down?

I'm Megan McCartle and I'm here to help. I'm the host of a news show from Washington Post
2:31
opinion called reasonably optimistic, and it's an antidote to the pessimism that's riddling
2:37
America right now. Every Wednesday I'm going to talk to people who see a path forward.
2:42
It does seem to me that there is some awakening of a desire to act together to solve problems
2:48
where they are. Now I am a believer in America and it's worth fighting for. Join me Wednesdays
