Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala activates us towards it with the fullness of our sincerity and the fullness of our strength

and that Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala accepted Allah Ma'amin.

I wanted to focus today insha'Allah wa Ta'ala with the few moments that I have with you

on this idea of the effect that Laylatul Qadr has.

And I'll explain why I want to talk about that for a moment insha'Allah wa Ta'ala.

When it comes to Sleyam, when it comes to fasting Ramadan,

Imam bin Hajar wa Rahimullah wa Ta'ala mentions that the sign of an accepted Ramadan

has a component of it that is a feeling and a component of it that has a very observable impact in terms of your deeds.

So when it comes to the feeling, the one who is pleased with the departure of Ramadan

and the one who is distressed with its coming forward,

that is a sign of Ramadan that is not accepted by Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala.

That if one Ramadan leaves, you are not sad over its departure.

And when it comes, it makes you sad, you are sad of its arrival.

That is a sign that you are refusing the gift of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala

and you are not allowing Ramadan to penetrate your heart whatsoever.

So that is the person whose fasting only is abandoning their food and drink for a month as an exercise

but spiritually speaking, there is no penetration.

So that's the feeling of Ramadan.

As for the effect, it's the consistency of your deeds.

Not the consistency in the same portion,

but the consistency of an increase in your deeds after Ramadan.
