Bismillahirrahmanirrahim al-Hamdu liLlahu wa sallatu wa sallamu ala Rasulillahirrah

wa a'ala alihi wa sallamu ala alihi wa sallamu ala Rasulillahirrah.

My beloved brothers and sisters, a very quick pep talk, seeing that everyone is just completed

sallatu al-Maghrib and on their way perhaps for iftar.

There are three levels that we need to be conscious of in the month of Ramadan.

Number one, just like when you want to sin, you don't go into the masjid to commit to sin.

You don't fly to Makkah to commit to sin.

In the same way, you don't enter the month of Ramadan to commit to sin.

Just like there are places that we would never commit to sin in, there are also times when

we should never commit to sin in.

That does not mean that sins are okay otherwise, but it does mean when you become more conscious

of your sinful behaviour.

During Ramadan, you are definitely a person who is favoured by Allah.

You have a certain consciousness of Allah.

When you are slightly conscious of Allah, you will know, I mean Ramadan, I can't do this.

And in inshaAllah, outside Ramadan, Allah will help you to quit that habit or the sin.

That is number one.

Number two is, we should not waste time in the month of Ramadan.

Time wasting may not be totally sinful as in a major sin, but it definitely is lack of

productivity, you're wasting a golden opportunity.

People know this even regarding a football match that you don't waste time.
