and اللہ نوز that we will be living in environments that may not be Islamic

we will be living in an environment perhaps where sin will be so easy to commit

we will be living in an environment where perhaps it will not be so simple to come to the masjid

unless you have a lot of will power and a lot of e-man

اللہ سبحانہ و اتعالہ نوز that to abstain from Haram will be a challenge

اللہ نوز that we will be living across the entire globe Muslim lands, non-Muslim lands

and so on he knows that you and I will exist and are existing

and he knows who is to come after us so he has set a plan

and that plan is in order to help us pull through

in a way that we earn Jannah, may Allah grant us Jannah

I mean what is this beautiful plan? Part of it is to give us a gift known as Ramadan

amazing and this Ramadan is such that

اللہ the timing of it is absolutely perfect

imagine if throughout the globe everyone had to have Ramadan at exactly the same time in the Gregorian year

which means say for example now we have June and July

throughout the life of an individual where you are living it's always in June and July

it won't be fair because sometimes you will have a cold fast

sometimes a fast in the heat, sometimes a long one, sometimes a short one

the people in the UK are literally struggling at the moment achieving a greater reward

for their dedication for fasting 18 to 20 hours right now

but they will be smiling all the way when their fast is only about 6 to 8 hours

sometime 30 years down the line perhaps

may Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala grant us an understanding

look at how fair Allah is, look at how balanced He is

so you will taste a long fast, a short fast one in summer, one in winter

and it keeps on moving 10 days up every single year

that is the disparity between the lunar and the solar calendars

may Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala help us understand His justice

similarly can you imagine a Ramadan that happened to have been less than 30 days, 29 days?

less say Ramadan was one week

just as we are rolling in and warming up it's over

we would not achieve the proper spirituality

Allah knows that you need one whole month out of the 12 months

you need the entire month, imagine if Ramadan was longer than a month

perhaps we would lose focus because you know it climaxes round the end

amazingly 21, 23, 25, 27 and we are climaxed right at the top

it's at the end the massage it get even more packed

do you agree? SubhanAllah that's the power of Allah

but if we had two months one wonders perhaps a month later people would start losing focus

and one wonders whether that dedication to the Quran would actually be there

amazing you have 30 Jews of the Quran and you have 29 to 30 days of Ramadan

amazing how Allah has married all this, matched it in such a beautiful way for us

who are His worshippers
