On the 13th night of Taraweeh Reflections, the Sheik delves into Surah An-Nahl Ayah 89, which discusses the concept of Allah(swt) resurrecting a Prophet from every nation. The Quran contains complete knowledge of everything, from past events to future occurrences and what is permissible or not.

However, the mindset we adopt when reading and contemplating the Quran is crucial, as it provides us with the understanding and knowledge of our actions' consequences.

It is therefore essential that we have a mindset of understanding and follow the Quran's guidance. Furthermore, we are responsible for conveying the Quran's message to mankind as a means of mercy.

As we pass the first 10 days of Ramadan, the Sheik reflects and reminds us on the blessings and responsibilities of the holy month of Ramadan. The Sheik reminds us to begin by thanking Allah(swt) for the opportunity to enter this blessed month and for the hope of having their sins forgiven. Also let’s take care of the dangers of failing to gain the blessings of Ramadan, which could lead to humiliation and regret.

The Sheik highlights the significance of the Quran, revealed during this month and reminds listeners of the importance of fulfilling the trust placed upon them by Allah(swt), particularly in regards to raising their children and handling their wealth and the impact of Society on our lives.

Overall, the Sheik encourages listeners to use this Ramadan to deepen their faith, strengthen their relationships with Allah(swt) and their families, and to strive towards being the best versions of themselves.

On the 10th day of Taraweeh Reflections, the Sheik discusses two verses from Surah Yunus (ayahs 7 and 8), revealed in Mecca to Prophet Muhammad (saw). These verses are related to the concept of the afterlife and those who reject the idea of meeting with Allah(swt) in the hereafter.

The sheik clearly explains that those who reject the day of judgment and being accountable for their actions, are at risk of losing the real purpose of life and falling into moral corruption.

The sheik conveys that morality cannot come from human beings as humans are subjective and vary their thoughts depending on the situation. The only way for human beings to live a harmonious life with a meaningful goal is by getting guidance from the Creator (Allah-swt) and accepting the concept of the day of judgment.

The sheik reminds listeners that those who reject meeting Allah(swt) are the ones who desire to continue living a life of sinning.

In today's Taraweeh Reflections Day 9, the Sheik brings forth a poignant discussion revolving around Surah At-Tawbah verse 31.  This verse holds great relevance for Muslims in contemporary times. The verse conveys how the Yuhud took their rabbis and monks as their Lords besides Allah(swt), obeying them in matters they made lawful or unlawful according to their desires.

While emphasizing the importance of scholars in Islam, it is crucial for us to recognize that following them should only be in the context of understanding Allah's commands from the Sharia.
