Dear brothers and sisters, taqwa, piety, God consciousness is what is a lived reality on a daily basis, every moment.

But taqua has a season, and that is the season of Ramadan.

That is the season of fasting.

Kutiba on you as thyme as

Kuttiab on the Lhālidhā'an

fasting was prescribed upon you as it was prescribed on nations prior to you

so that you could become more God conscious,

so that you could become more aware of Allah,

and so taqua is a daily reality,

but it has a season in which it dawns upon us in a very special way and we hope that it carries

us well throughout the rest of the year until we live out the rest of our lives and meet

Allah subhanna and hopefully as people of taqwa. But taqua also has a place, a place where it's generated.

And that place is the masjit.

And it's always very interesting to see Salat al Juma get more crowded on the Fridays of Ramadan.

Because Juma is fared inside of Ramadan and farred outside of Ramadan.

And it's interesting to see how full the massadids are for Fajar and Isha, for the different

salawat outside of Ramadan, realizing that what Allah, subhannau ta'a'a'a has put in the reward

of these prayers inside the masjid, outside of Ramadan, is greater than what you would

find in a voluntary prayer
