السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته
0:06
as much as people say that shaitan is tied
0:09
and yes it is correct to a degree
0:11
that the big shayatin or the chief shayatin
0:16
but the little ones are roaming around
0:21
you need to control your anger
0:24
because the reward of your fast
0:27
will be nullified or minimized
0:30
and you might even be sinful actually
0:32
when you do not control your temper to the degree
0:36
that you begin to abuse others
0:38
you oppress them, you say wrong things
0:40
and it causes a problem
0:42
that will flow beyond the month of رمضان
0:45
رمضان is a month of solving matters
0:47
finding solutions, bringing hearts together
0:50
bringing people together
0:51
but unfortunately many people
0:54
creating problems in the month of رمضان
0:57
or become prey to those who create problems
1:01
without realizing that you know what
1:03
here is the hadith of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم
1:06
he says that if someone were to abuse you
1:09
or to say something bad to you
1:12
you reply to them by saying I am fasting
1:16
the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم
1:17
instructs us to say I am fasting
1:20
why should you say I am fasting
1:22
because I am not supposed to be getting angry
1:25
I am supposed to be a person who is conscious of Allah
1:28
this is my moment to develop takwa
1:31
and consciousness of Allah
1:33
I want to come out of every day of رمضان
1:35
closer to Allah than I was the previous day
1:38
and I want to exit the entire month
1:42
one of the things you and I suffer
1:47
either our own or others or a bit of both
1:50
so what we need to realise is
1:52
if you are not going to work on your tempers
1:54
nothing is going to happen
1:56
it is going to get worse as time passes
1:58
you become less and less tolerant of others
2:01
or you become a person who really
2:05
doesn't even think before he or she speaks
2:08
is that what you want?
2:10
in fact Allah does not want that
2:11
Allah knows you are a human being
2:13
but he wants you to work hard on your character
2:16
your conduct, your tempers
2:18
so this is the month of رمضان
2:20
tempers flare in the month of رمضان
2:24
and I am sure nearly every one of us
2:28
whether it is this رمضان
2:32
or whenever it might have been
2:34
but you find Muslims
2:36
good people sometimes
2:38
decent people who pray five times a day
2:40
people who fast the whole month
2:42
but they do not control their tempers
2:44
they do not control themselves
2:46
they become so angry at little things
2:54
every time you have actually extinguished
2:58
you get such a great reward
3:10
the ones who will earn paradise
3:12
are the ones who control their tempers
3:14
meaning they have extinguished their tempers
3:16
and the ones who forgive others
3:18
now that topic of forgiveness is a topic of it
3:24
what we need to know is
3:26
don't hold petty things in your heart and mind
3:28
it will make you ill
3:30
it will cause problems for you
3:32
in your mind and your body
3:34
and your relationships
3:36
little things let them go
3:38
major things look into them
3:40
and try and see how best
3:42
you can navigate through them
3:44
solve the problem perhaps
3:46
and Allah will grant you goodness
3:48
in this world and the next
3:50
may Allah bless us all and help us
3:52
to control our anger and temper
3:54
and remember when we say the Shiaatina
3:58
we are only talking of
4:00
the chiefs of the Shiaatina
4:02
the little ones are all roaming around
4:04
and still causing disaster
4:08
sometimes we as human beings
4:10
that's why the Qur'an speaks about
4:12
minal jinnati wan nas
4:15
when Allah refers to
4:16
the Shiaatina of jinn
4:18
kain the Shiaatina of mankind
4:20
in fact in another place in the Qur'an
4:22
Allah Almighty actually says Shiaatina
4:26
that there are two types of Shiaatina here
4:28
that from humankind and that from jinn kain
4:30
we Allah protect us such that we are never
4:32
considered Shiaatina and at the same time
4:38
that we are never considered Shiaatina
