now Allah subhah wa ta'ala has reminded
Us in the Quran to be conscious of him
to have his tawa for he
said Muslim all you who believe have
tawa of Allah the way that Allah
deserves that you have tawa of him and
do not die except in a state of Islam my
dear brothers and sisters in Islam the
month of Ramadan is around the corner
and historically speaking if you look at
this blessed month you find that Allah
chose this month to manifest some of his
choicest blessings and some of the most
magnificent victories of the ENT entire
religion of Islam and in today's short I
will cover around half a dozen or so of
the most significant manifestations of
Allah's and Allah's and Allah's upon the
um during this month and of course we
begin with the most important of all
battles and that is the Battle of bad
that battle that Allah subhah wa taala
mentions in the Quran
as the day that truth and FAL food were
separated from one another and victory
was given to the truth the Battle of bad
took place on the 17th of this month and
the Muslims were less than onethird of
the quray and the Muslims did not have
even a half of the camels and even a
fourth of the horses and yet Allah
subhah wa ta'ala gave them such a
decisive Victory it was as if it was
unimaginable even the Muslims who first
heard it they did not believe believe
the amount of victory that had taken
place and it took place on the 17th of
Ramadan and Allah subhana wa taala
mentions in the Quran that on that day I
am with you and the angels are with you
I am going to help you with 3,000 Angels
straight from me and that occurred as we
know in the first half of the month of
Ramadan it is not a coincidence
therefore that the culmination of the S
the culmination of the victories of our
prophet sallallahu alaihi am also
occurred in the month of Ramadan in the
eighth year of the Hijra in the conquest
of mecah on the 23rd of Ramadan 20 years
of struggle countless lives lost
hundreds and hundreds of people had lost
their lives dozens of battles fought and
on that auspicious day in the last 10
days of of Ramadan on the days of the
Muslim Army marched into Mecca and they
conquered it without even so much as a
battle without even a war being fought
they conquered it peacefully and the
people embraced
Islam it is not a coincidence that the
first great Victory and the last great
victory of the occurred in this month of
Ramadan but it was not only in the s
that the blessings of Ramadan were shown
throughout Islamic history Ramadan has
been a time of Victory and a time of
Conquest for the umah itself a few years
after the death of the Prophet sallallah
alaihi wasallam many were the battles
that were fought and the Muslims took on
the single greatest superpower of its
time and that is the assassinate Empire
also called the Persian Empire and the
assassinate Empire had been of the most
mightiest empires in all of human
history for 400 years the Romans and the
Persians had been at battle with one
another and neither one side was able to
defeat the other and here comes a third
party here comes a group of people
people who were looked down upon by the
superpowers they were not viewed as
being a viable threat they were not
viewed as being military conquerors they
didn't have the horses the Manpower they
didn't have the equipment they did not
have the training of the assassinate
Empire and yet they took on and they
challenged the Assassin Empire and a few
days before the month of Ramadan the
Battle of kadia took place and that
famous battle ofad
whereas he took on the assassinate
Emperor and his forces and a decisive
victory that opened the door for the
conquest of the entire Persian Empire
something that had not happened for 300
years he With the blessings of Allah
opened up the door to the conquest of
the entire Persian uh uh Province and
this of course then came under D Islam
and the most important Conquest took
place on the eve of the month of Ramadan
a few years later the Muslim forces were
in Egypt and one of the most important
battles of Egypt took place and that was
the Battle of Conquering the famous city
the port city of Alexandria and this
battle is known
as and there was close by from
Alexandria there was a massive Fortress
called the Babylonian Fortress and these
two fortresses and cities Alexandria and
the Fortress of Babylon were considered
to be impenetrable and they were
considered to be the most sophisticated
fortresses in all of Egypt and the
Muslims sent troops after troops sent
reinforcements three times under and
others and finally it was in the 19th
year of the Hijra in the month of
Ramadan where Zu and others where they
were able to open up the Fortress and
then continue on the conquest of Egypt
and of course Egypt then became as well
Dar Islam the very Sim s similar time
frame a few decades later in the time of
the um
the the the umad sent out armies across
the globe and of the most significant
Conquest that took place is the fat of
andalus the Conquering of andalus and
this took place under the forces of zad
and on the other side was the viig
gothic Kingdom the viig gothic emperor
that was fighting under King rodic King
rodri on the one side andb zad on the
other side and the forces lined upb zad
had had around 10 to 12,000 men and King
rodri had at the very least 30 to 40,000
men this was the decisive battle if this
battle would be lost andus would never
be conquered and the Muslims prayed to
Allah subhah wa taala they made Dua to
Allah and on the 25th of Ramadan in the
year of 93 Hijra the the the the battle
took place between king rodri andb zad
and the Muslims won a decisive victory
Victory King rodri disappeared they
could not find his body and that led to
chaos in the ranks of the visigothic
Kingdom until City by City Fortress by
Fortress Village by Village the Muslims
continued until they made their way to
the very lands of what is now France and
at one point in time they had conquered
essentially the entire Iberian Peninsula
entire country of Spain other than a
small Slither up north which was beyond
the the mountains they couldn't get
there otherwise this Conquest in the
19330 year of the Hijra it opened up the
door to the entire conquest of andalus
and as we are all aware the Muslims
ruled andalus for 750 Glory years and a
civilization was seen in andalus that
was unprecedented in the entire human
world a civilization of cultivation of
Tolerance of Enlightenment all the
famous Scholars and scientists and all
the thinkers of whatever Faith
background were flourishing in that land
the Muslims de demonstrated to Europe
what would happen if Europe was ruled by
the rules of Islam and not by the
intolerance of the Christianity of that
time and a civilization appeared that
outshone every civilization in Europe at
that point in time when did it start in
the 93rd year of the Hijra in the month
of Ramadan with TB zad on one side and
King rodri on the other if that wasn't
enough the very next year those were the
days that the Muslims were doing things
of a different nature and they were
obeying Allah and his messenger in the
very next year in the 94th year of the
hij under the
same
muhamed was fighting against King dahar
rajad dahar they call him Raja dahar in
the province of Sy in the modern land of
Pakistan and he was fighting against
rajad dahar because rajad dahar had
abducted some Muslims during Hajj and he
had molested some of the women and what
not and the umay Khalifa became so
enraged he sent Muhammad ibim to the
land of sind to the the land of
Hindustan of India and there in the 94th
year of of the Hijra in the month of
Ramadan with haaj Yu's nephew Muhammad
ibim on one side and Raja dahar with his
elephants on the other side a decisive
victory was fought in the land of what
is now makran which is around two hours
outside of Karachi of Pakistan and
Muhammad ibim at the tender age of 17
won a decisive victory over rajad D and
because of this ibim managed to
establish Islamic rule in the province
of makran in the province of Multan and
for the next 300 years a dynasty was
formed there called the hab Dynasty that
ruled in the name of Islam in a land
full of idol worshippers and of of
pagans but Islam continued to spread and
many people in that region continued to
convert until finally as we know the
majority of that region became Muslim by
interacting with Muslims and now of
course the state of Pakistan was created
in that very Province it is essentially
that region where this took place when
did it all begin in the 94th year of the
Hijra in the month of Ramadan when Allah
blessed the forces of Muhammad ibim to
win over Raja dahar if that wasn't
enough the list goes on and on and to be
brutally honest I had to cut back many
of the incidents because of the time
frame because there are so many amazing
victories in this month of Ramadan of
the most significant victories in the
month of Ramadan is the victory of the
battle of in the year 583 Hijra the year
583 Hijra corresponding to 1187 CE in
which
Salah he conquered the very lands that
had been taken in the Crusades and he
fought the Crusaders in festine in the
land in and he liberated Jerusalem that
had been conquered and been subjugated
to the rule of vicious Christians for
over 90 years as you should all be
familiar with my dear Muslims when the
Crusaders conquered Jerusalem one of the
worst massacres of human history took
place that had hardly occurred up until
that point in time every man woman and
child every toddler and elderly man
every Muslim and non catholic christian
cuz even the Christians that were Arab
Christians were killed every Jewish
person of that land was massacred by the
Crusader Army so much so that it is
estimated that perhaps up to half a
million people were killed and remember
they would have been killed by the sword
one after the other for days and days
the Muslims were huddled in the C in the
AA complex and batch by batch they would
be brought out and executed until one of
the Crusaders wrote back it is well
recorded in history praising the
accomplishments of the Crusaders and
saying I want to give you glad tidings
that the city is flowing in Muslim
Muslim blood up until my ankles I am
walking in Blood and it is said that the
stench from AA was so much that
Travelers had to cover their nose for
one year after the massacre because of
the stench of the bodies for 90 years
the Crusaders ruled in a vicious manner
they made the Masjid complex into a
stable a manure place for their horses
you can still see if you go to AA and I
have seen with my own eyes that they
carved into the the the the the the
walls they carved stable places for
their horses and Rings to put their
horses this is the Masjid and they
converted that into a stable and a
manure dump this is what they did 90
years went by
Salah gathered together his forces and
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala blessed him to
March against the the army of the
Crusaders and he surrounded them in the
month of Ramadan in 583 hij and in fact
it was uh corresponding to the 4th of
July 1187 Salah in's forces faced over
20,000 Frankish Warriors and they won
over them in a decisive battle the night
before on one of the odd nights the army
of Salah was praying and begging and
crying to Allah subhah wa taala for
victory they prayed and and because it
was the month of Ramadan and the next
morning Allah subhah wa taala gave them
that decisive Victory and of course when
Salah marched into the City and he
conquered the city see the Christians
were worried that he would do unto them
as their ancestors had done onto the
Muslims but he made a commandment and a
rule and he ordered his Elite arm
because the Army was consisting of many
groups of people some of them were just
you know the mobs they were just signing
up to the Army he took his Elite guard
his personal crew called them the
Marines or whatnot and he enforced upon
them to make sure the Muslims did not
mob against the Christians the Muslims
did not Massacre the Christians out of
anger that their ancestors had been
killed and he made a general promise
that all of you are free I will do as
the prophet did when he conquered
meah like the prophet in the month of
Ramadan forgave everyone even the worst
enemies and this caused the people to
convert to Islam now when Salah
conquered Jerusalem he did the same
thing as the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wasallam did and he forgave all of the
Christians and he C and he guaranteed
their safe passage back to their lands
under the armed of his own forces his
personal military forces were
surrounding the Christians so that the
Muslims who had lost their ancestors
would not they he said no it's not their
fault it's their ancestors we will not
take our Vengeance on them because the
90 years had gone by so those Christians
were not persecuted or killed and they
were saved andah demonstrated the gentle
side of Islam the mercy of Islam so much
so that the kings of his time the rulers
of his time of Europe to this day Salah
is considered to be a legendary General
a gentleman a real ruler even his
opponents and his foes admired and
respected him and we see over here why
and all of this occurred in the month of
Ramadan and of the most significant
conquest of the month of Ramadan perhaps
politically speaking politically
speaking one of the greatest and most
important battles that was ever fought
fought in this month of Ramadan is the
famous battle of a jalut that took place
The Well of Goliath a jalut The Well of
Goliath that took place on the 25th of
Ramadan in the year 658 of the Hijra
corresponding to September 1260 CE and
in this battle which is one of the most
decisive battles in the history of Islam
and how I wish that we would study our
history and know our history to see the
good and the bad the positives and the
negatives so that we can benefit from
what has happened before us to in in a
nutshell you've all heard of genis Khan
Chen Khan you've all heard of the Mongol
invasion well the Mongols invaded the
lands that were east of them that's the
lands of Islam Samar bukara usbekistan
they continued working their way forward
they surrounded Bagdad in 1258 1260 they
destroyed the Abbasid Empire they killed
every single member of the Khalifa's
family and they destroyed the entire
city of Bagdad and the people thought
this is y and ma is coming now they were
the most brutal uncivilized barbaric
group that Humanity had ever seen and
that is why to this day the Mongolian
invasion is something that the common
culture the children see their cartoons
about it because it was one of those
tragedies that has seeped into the
imagination of mankind the Mongolian
invasion was one of the most devastating
invasions in human history and the
Muslims took the bulk of that Invasion
even though some Christian kingdoms as
well were affected but because the
Mongolian Army invaded directly the
lands of Islam it was essentially the
Muslim lands the Abbasid califate came
to an end the Mongols conquered imagine
if you can imagine a map from
essentially the borders of China they
made their way throughout the Middle
East they ransacked and raped Bagdad
they surrounded Damascus took over
Damascus festine they marched onwards
and they made their way to a small land
of a province of Egypt and up until that
point in time egyp egpt had not been of
a a prominent uh uh part of the Muslim
world in the mean in the sense that it
was never a political or an intellectual
Capital up until this point in time
everything would change after this so
the entire lands of Islam had been
ravished and raged now they make their
way and they think they'll get rid of
Islam but Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
shall save his religion in ways we don't
understand and a small provincial
Dynasty that was called the slave
Dynasty mamluks the the mamluk dynasty
they decided to challenge the grandson
of changes Khan many years had gone back
changes Khan is long di now it is his
grandson hulakan is now in charge and
now this small dynasty of the mamluks
they took on this massive undefeatable
or so the people thought Army of the
Mongolians and in this Army the leader
of the uh of the Muslims he came across
a tactic that was the first time in
human history history ever employed and
that is to use gunpowder in Warfare it
had never been done before and the
leader of the Muslim Army decided to use
something called gunpowder and in fact
he used it uh again time is limited he
didn't use it the way we think he
actually used it to make loud noises to
scare the horses of the Mongolians
because they still hadn't developed guns
and cannons again this is 12 uh you know
60 CE plenty of time is going to go by
before guns and cannons are coming the
first time that this technology was used
in the battle it was from the mamluks
the Muslim side and the first time the
Mongolians were defeated was in the
Battle of a jalut on the 25th of Ramadan
in the year 658 of the Hijra when people
thought that the lands of Islam would be
gone when people thought there is no
hope Allah subhah wa ta'ala gave the
people hope and this small slave Dynasty
became the most powerful Dynasty for the
next 300 years until the ottoman Turks
took over and Egypt became the
intellectual and the political capital
of the Muslim land and it was in that
time frame where the status of Egypt was
established because of the victory of
the mamluks in Ramadan my dear brothers
and sisters I can go on and on but time
is limited the question that arises when
I finish theba here the first why am I
mentioning past historical battles of
what relevance is it to us right now the
response should be resoundingly clear to
all of us who are pondering and that is
the following this month is a month of
Victory this month is a month of Isa it
is a month of Glory it is a month of
conquests this month is a month where
Allah subhanahu wa taala allows Islam to
rise and flourish throughout the world
throughout history some of the most
important battles of our umah were
fought and one in this month and it is
not a coincidence so if Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala can give victory over the
Mongols in this month if he can give
victory over the Crusaders in this month
if he can give victory over the vizigot
in this month if he can get victory over
Raj in this month then how about victory
over my and your personal sins how about
victory over the struggles of my life
and your life how about victory over the
habits that I have and I'm struggling
with and you have you're struggling with
this is the month of victory for the
umah and for every one of us if we put
our mind to it if we follow in the
footsteps of the righteous Muslims then
just like Allah subhana wa ta'ala gave
Victory to them in their magnificent
battles then surely the battles of my
life the battles of my personal
struggles the battles of my own sh and
are much more easy to conquer than
conquering Chen Khan and conquering
rajad D and others this is the month of
Victory put your mind to it put your
trust in Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and
you shall be a Victor in this month may
Allah subhah wa ta'ala bless me and you
with and through the Quran and may he
make us of those who its verses they
understand and may he make us of those
who Implement his Commandments
throughout our lifespan I ask Allah to
forgive me you will as well ask him for
he is the the rman oh
Muslims many are the Ramadan that we
have fasted for some amongst us 50 60 70
80 years for others if they are young
this might actually be their first
Ramadan for most of us we are
alhamdulillah experienced in Ramadan and
we are now facing yet another Ramadan
and every single Ramadan the same
trepidation the same fear how can I do
it how can I go without lunch how can I
no not drink water throughout this this
hot time of June July when it's going to
happen and every single year we fast the
first day and we say it's so easy how
can this be happening and that is
because Allah subhana wa tala has
promised
us Allah wants to make things easy for
you he does not want to make things
difficult my dear brothers and sisters
some practical advice to myself and all
of you during this month during this
month we really do see the best of the
best
masallah across the globe the umah
demonstrates its piety and IM gallab
pole did a survey a few years ago about
all the religions across the globe and
their rituals and they said that the
religion that observes the ritual the
most out of all religions it is the fast
of Ramadan as observed by the Muslims a
whopping 75% of the umah observes the
fast and that was light years ahead of
the second statistic way after that the
umah really is alive and we see it
during this month of Ramadan the mosques
are packed to capacity even though we
have work and school the next day people
are praying an hour 2 three every night
the Quran is being recited VI is being
done Dua is being made the fast
demonstrate IM and tawa but then the
month finishes and Subhan Allah it's as
if the bubble has burst and the balloon
falls down back to the ground I want to
be very pragmatic my dear brothers and
sisters it is impossible that the spirit
of Ramadan will be found after Ramadan
that's not going to happen we rise up in
Ramadan
higher and higher and higher we finish
on a cresendo in the last 10 nights and
the but then when Ramadan finishes we
flutter back down and at some level that
is inevitable but my humble suggestion
to all of you and to myself is the
following my dear brothers and sisters
we cannot maintain the levels of Iman in
Ramadan outside of Ramadan in fact
that's not the goal but imagine joining
a gym getting training under the best
gym instructor for a month 2 months 3
months you get to your lifestyle your
routine now you have m a system you're
going daily you have everything down
then imagine that your membership
expires you're no longer able to be a
part of that
gym some of us we will drop back down
gain all the weight but that's not the
point if you cannot maintain the
efficiency that you had during that
trial membership at least benefit from
some habits acquire some wisdom and
maintain some of the etiquet that we did
in Ramadan the goal my dear brothers and
sisters is that every Ramadan We rise
higher and higher and higher when we
flutter back and we will flutter back
where we end should be higher than where
we began the month that is the goal of
Ramadan so if we rose up we went 100
notches higher we flutter back down we
go down to 30 20 10 but we stop there we
do not go back to status quo before the
month then the next Ramadan comes we go
another 100 steps then we flutter back
down we go down until we're another 1020
now we are double what we were 2 years
ago and then slowly but surely every
Ramadan we climb up a few ladders we
climb up a few steps we stay there we
stick to that routine next Ramadan we go
higher next Ramadan we go higher so
every Ramadan becomes a boot camp for us
every Ramadan comes a time where we
become better and closer to Allah subhah
wa taala such that and this is my Dua
and say a mean to this we ask Allah that
our best Ramadan is our last Ramadan and
our most perfect Ramadan is Ramadan
closest to our death we want every year
to be better than the last year and
every day to be better than the last day
and we want to have the most best
Ramadan of Our Lives the year that we
meet Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala that will
only be done if we have this in mind
that the goal is will use this month to
come closer to Allah as much as I can
when Ramadan finishes I cannot maintain
that level but I will not go back to
status quo I will not return to
everything that I had and I will be
higher than I was and we do this every
single year until we meet our Lord and
that is the real wisdom of Ramadan and
the real method that we will use to
conquer ourselves slowly but surely bit
by bit and we will inshallah tala be
victorious
