As-salamu alaikum everyone. Just wanted to congratulate you on personally being invited

to another Ramadan. And I hope you don't think that this is just another Ramadan. No, no, no. This Ramadan is very special. This Ramadan is very unique. There's a big difference

between last Ramadan and this Ramadan. You know what that is? Last Ramadan there were people amongst us whom Allah had it written that that would be their final Ramadan, but

not you. Last Ramadan there were people amongst us who were healthy and strong enough to fast. And this year they may be struggling to find an alternative route to that sweetness of

faith that they once found through fasting. And inshaAllah you're ready to go. Last Ramadan there were people who were Muslim and now they're battling for their survival and their

prosperity, having misstepped or perhaps fumbled their faith and they're fighting for their life to get it back and retain it or retrieve it. When the month of Ramadan began, our Prophet

salallahu alayhi wasalam reminded us of the importance and the value of being excited about it. And he would say, the month of Ramadan is now upon you. It is a blessed month. Then

he mentioned that of its blessings is that Allah obligates you with fasting it. He said in it, the gates of paradise are opened, meaning it's so easy to get in. He said, and the gates

of the hellfire are locked, meaning it's so hard to get in. He said, and the devils are shackled, they're chained, meaning their influence is so restricted. He said, and Allah has,

you're transforming the whole universe for you to stack the odds in your favor. He says, then he has callers call out from the heavens saying, oh, you who seeks out good, come forth,

step up and oh, you who seeks out evil, go away, depart. There's nothing here for you. Then he said, in it is a single night worth more than a thousand months. And he said,

whomever is deprived of the good, the abundant good of this month, whoever is deprived of the fate of this month, has truly been deprived. So may Allah help me and you power through

the month of Ramadan and show him good from ourselves and unlock the treasure of this

month by beginning at excitement, gratitude, cheerfulness, feeling floored by the graciousness of Allah that he gave us yet another Ramadan.
