The first thing we want to commence with is to ask Allah to accept the fast that we have fasted today

and we ask Allah to accept the Salah of Tariwih that was fulfilled today

thereafter we ask Allah to accept all our fasts to make us people who achieve the

correct benefit from the month of Ramadan which is the closeness of Allah known as

Takwa.

Fasting is prescribed upon you like it was upon those before you in order that

you achieve Takwa. When we say Takwa many people have different translations of

it the essence of it is always the same it's a connection with Allah you are

fasting because you want to be connected with Allah you have come to the

mosque because you want to be connected with so may Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala

grant us a connection with him today I am seated here in front of you about to

remind you not about myself not about someone else but about Allah and his

message so when we sit in the house of Allah there is a beautiful etiquette

when we've asked you to lower your phones when we've asked you to behave in a

certain way it's not for me or for someone else it's for Allah this is the

house of Allah and this is the Islamic teaching the value that Allah has asked us

to uphold is that when you come in the house of Allah make sure that you are

dressed correctly make sure you follow the etiquettes make sure you make life

easy for those who are around you make sure you make space for people don't

make a noise do you know Allah Almighty says in Suratul Araf

Ya Bani Adamah Huzozina Takum I that Kulli Masjid O you O children of Adam
