Ramadan reruns Many of us look forward to Ramadan each year Cheatown is all locked up The doors are gin-nour open And the reward for good deeds are multiplied Is there funny some of the questions we get asked during Ramadan each year? Heyo Ali You want some cake? This dough is good, man This dough is good Oh, oh no thanks Fine, how about some lemonade? No, I'm fasting For how long? About 30 days? 30 days! You're gonna die! Huh? No no no no Above all this is not gonna drink food for 30 days! 30 days! It's like every year I have the same conversation Sopa and La, Ramadan is the best month of the year This is the time we should be focusing on improving our relationship with Allah Sopa and Tallah Increasing our good deeds And decreasing our bad ones But for some reason we tend to do those silly things each year Silly things? Yeah, silly things And it starts right from the beginning of Ramadan Moon-siding wars Even before Ramadan begins, people are debating over moon-siding You would think after 1400 years, we probably figured it out by now But we haven't Every year is the same thing We're going with Saudi! We are going with Pakistan! Our masjid will inshallah start on Friday Our masjid will inshallah start on Saturday Brother, we are going to start on Sunday No matter what According to our calculations brother, it will happen on Sunday And there's no way for it to be before Sunday According to our calculations Huh? Brother, it cannot happen So we are starting on Sunday The moon was saty yesterday bro Not according to our calculations brother, it cannot happen Brother, please Let us unite the ummah using our calculations What? That's not a part of the Sunnah The brothers say you saw the moon yesterday We should start with a moon-siding Why are we making things so complicated? It's actually simple Sight the moon, start Ramadan Sight the moon, Ramadan ends You know what? We should make a song out of it When the moon is saty Ramadan begins When the moon is saty Ramadan Surely ends Tell your mother tell your father Stop, stop, stop, stop Brother, we will not do calculations please Don't sing And win Okay Sorry Wait, gain mystery Some people figure that since this Ramadan They are going to be fasting for 30 days And they are going to be losing weight Unfortunately, many of us are gaining weight Did I put on weight? Be honest Yeah, big time bro Not that honest You know how we get fat during Ramadan? I'll tell you how we get fat during Ramadan We cook all day and eat all night That's how we get fat during Ramadan Words of advice, if you can't say the words I'm full You're going to gain weight during Ramadan Bro, what happened? Did you get married? Oh this? Oh no brother, this is Ramadan Ramadan Getting the short stick at the after lines If there's a third of the mustard and 100 people have come to eat Please take enough so everyone has enough I know you're hungry bro But when there's 100 pieces of chicken And there's 100 people right to eat It gets kind of crazy when you take 6 pieces of chicken And the guy behind you takes 5 pieces of chicken You know what we get at the end of the line? I spirk lettuce and half a piece of pita bread Do you know what I'm saying? No, you don't know what I'm saying Because you're eating all the chicken Brothers and sisters, I know you're hungry We are all hungry But probably up 10 pounds of food Only to throw half of it away is just wrong There are people around the world who are starving Who don't have enough food to even break their fast The fact is the majority of the world lives in poverty And they lack the food that we take for granted every day So that's something to think about before the next time you throw half of your food away Silent and deadly during Tatoi When it comes to Salat, you hear a lot of burping You see, some people eat so much that they have no room for anything Not even for air But all that air has to come out So they start burping While you're trying to pray Have you ever tried constrain during Tatoi? Only to have odors of digestive bryani and homeless pass you by At least with loud burps, you have a warning that is coming So you can let it pass by The worst burps are the silent and deadly ones Because you don't see them coming I mean, you don't hear them coming Or you know what I mean You know what I'm talking about Is those people that are praying like this Is nasty Will you belong this way in that way? That's me I'm just following this stuff I'm trying to concentrate on my prayers, man This is trying to eat a little bit less so we have a little more room Maybe for some air? You know what I'm saying? Super speed Tatoi Bismillahirrahmanirrahim Alhamdulillah Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait What are you doing? Ramadan 30 days, brother We must finish the Quran before 30 days, brother Again Bismillahirrahmanirrahim Alhamdulillahirrahim Bismillahirrahim Alhamdulillahirrahim Alhamdulillahirrahim Alhamdulillahirrahim Alhamdulillahirrahim We're gonna make it, brother Everyone wants to finish the war on by the 27th day. At the same time, if the recitation takes too long, they complain that it's taking too long. So, so much just pray tahto we, as super fast speeds. Super speed tahto we. Okay, ham do la, we finished the war on. But how much of it reached our hearts? As impacted our actions. If it just goes through one ear and out the other, then what have we really gained other than saying that, oh, we finished the war on during Ramadan? So, paon la, the companions of the Prophet, these would take ten aya's at a time. They would memorize, learn, and implement them. Today, muskets are competing against who can finish tahto we faster. It's not like we had the best microphone systems in our muskets. And when you're residing in a hundred miles per hour, it makes it really hard to concentrate, bro. 8 vs 20 recats. How many times have you heard this debate outside the muskets after tahto we? People trying to convince each other that it's 8 recats, no it's 20 recats. I'm not even getting to the 8 vs 20 recat debate, but I will ask this. Since when did tahto we become the most important salat? I mean, people treated more important than the fart prayers. Are you don't believe me? Next time, doing Ramadan? Watch how people are there during Isha, and watch how people come in during tahto we. It makes you wonder if people are there for culture or for Islam. But that's a whole different video if you know what I'm saying. The 27th day of Ramadan Muslims. There are Muslims who pray throughout the whole year. Then you see Muslims only pray during Ramadan. And then you see Muslims only pray during the 27th day of Ramadan. I mean, the most just full during Ramadan? Alhamdulillah. But for some reason, there's a special group of people that come up with a hibernation only on the 27th day of Ramadan. It makes you wonder where were these people throughout the rest of the year. Skip that! Where were they during Ramadan? Who would have said? By watching this video, you just see some of the silly things we do. I'm speaking to myself before I'm speaking to anyone else. I hope this is a reminder for all of us that we shouldn't take Ramadan for granted. Or treated like another ritual. But rather, let's look at Ramadan as a blessing. We should say, I am the luck cause Alhamdulillah, so upon tahto I gave us a chance to live through Ramadan. It's an opportunity to get more reward and wipe away our sins. You see, some people think they can sin throughout the whole year and they hope that when Ramadan comes around, they're going to try to clear everything out. But the fact is, not everyone makes it to Ramadan. How many people are laying in their graves? Who thought they're going to make it to Ramadan this year? They never made it. If Alhamdulillah gives us another chance to live through Ramadan, we can't continue to take it for granted. We can't continue to do silly things that we do. Everyone is so close and nice during Ramadan. People go out of their ways to do good deeds. But it's like when Ramadan is over, we go back to our normal lives. Why can't the way we treat each other during Ramadan be our normal lives? So I guess my point is to show up if we make it to another Ramadan, just take advantage of it. By using the opportunity to crease our faith, our Eman. So when Ramadan ends, we are stronger and better Muslims in Shal'Allah. This is Ali reminding you just in case you forgot. No. Oh. This is Ali reminding you just in case you forgot. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. This is Ali reminding you just in case you forgot. Ah.
