  5. forbidden months
  6. that allah specifically mentioned in his

  8. after mentioning the 12 months this ayah
  9. which is ayah number 36 in surah number

  15. all the way to the end of the ayah in
  16. which allah says
  17. truly the number of months in the eyes
  18. of allah are 12 months
  19. in the book of allah in the register of
  20. allah the book of destiny
  21. the day he created the skies and the
  22. earth
  23. of which there are four that are
  24. forbidden
  25. so
  26. that is the valuable true religion so do
  27. not oppress
  28. yourselves in these months
  29. so subhanallah
  30. allah mentions the 12 months
  31. within the
  32. lunar islamic calendar year
  33. and as we know there's 12 solar months
  34. 12 lunar months the 12 solar months
  35. amount to 365 days or a bit more
  36. and the lunar year amounts to
  37. 354 days which makes the lunar year
  38. shorter by 11 days than the solar year
  39. but the point is
  40. subhanallah this month is one of the
  41. forbidden
  42. allah calls
  43. you know the forbidden city
  44. so we really have to visit this issue of
  45. forbidden
  46. you see my dear brothers and sisters
  47. if a person does not have a limitation
  48. of forbidden things that that person
  49. would not do
  50. then there is no path to holiness to
  51. sacredness which means to goodness
  52. as we muslims believe that allah is
  53. the pure and holy one but we try to
  54. purify ourselves to perf you know
  55. sanitize ourselves from the sins that we
  56. commit in the day and in the night so
  57. allah is telling us these are four
  58. forbidden months two things one you're
  59. not allowed to initiate a fight in these
  60. four forbidden months so initiating a
  61. fight is forbidden and two you're not
  62. supposed to oppress yourself in these
  63. four forbidden months of which this is
  64. the month of rajab so alhamdulillah
  65. mubarak for the month of rajab
  66. i feel that you know there is two ways
  67. of motion one motion is that you go to
  68. mecca to the forbidden city right you
  69. physically go there and you enter the
  70. forbidden zone the zone of mecca the
  71. zone of medina haram is called haram
  72. from haram
  73. haram the forbidden city in that city
  74. and in that zone we don't hurt ourselves
  75. we don't hurt others and we don't hurt
  76. allah's creation no matter what it is so
  77. alhamdulillah i feel this is a different
  78. type of motion we're sitting here we're
  79. not moving in place in space but we are
  80. moving in time and the month of rajab is
  81. coming right now going through us
  82. so
  83. it's you really have to open your
  84. soul sensors to really feel this holy
  85. month of a
  86. sacred forbidden month of rajab and to
  87. start sensing it and to start asking
  88. allah ya allah help me to understand
  89. this month help me to
  90. get with from it what you want me to get
  91. from it so that i can become anchored in
  92. my faith so that i get part of that
  93. holiness insha'allah
  94. may allah make us pure and good and make
  95. us get the best of the month of rajab
  96. for
  97. allah
