We're talking about the tricks of shaytaan in the month of Ramadhan... Now as I've been talking about before, yes the shayateen are tied up but the influence of shaytaan is still there... And sometimes it's our own nafs that can cause us to commit sins so don't let shaytaan convince you that you cannot commit sins or you cannot make mistakes in the month of Ramadhan... Now, one of the common tricks of shaytaan is when it comes to the food or how much we eat because shaytaan knows he cannot stop you from worshipping Allah subhana wa ta'ala when it comes to your fasting... You're already fasting, you're not eating for the whole day and he's lost..that's a defeat for shaytaan... So he will try to get to you through the door of eating a lot, so that when you do worship Allah you're lazy in your worship and so you'll see subhanAllah it's very common that someone might have a huge iftaar... And because of that their maghrib prayer or their isha prayer, their taraweeh prayer is very..they're very lazy in that prayer and they don't have kushoo or they don't have concentration and they may be like burping upon people around them and nobody's trying to smell any of that... But the point here is that shaytaan will convince you to eat a lot, so good practise in sh Allah ta'ala is to have a light iftaar and maybe if you are going to have like a full proper meal... Have it after taraweeh, after you're done... Even then eating..don't eat too much because obviously it's gonna be a problem when it comes to getting up for suhoor,right? And as we know shaytaan, subhanAllah sometimes can get us to skip suhoor... We sleep really late, we have a big meal at night, we tell ourselves you know "I don't have time to get up for suhoor, it's not really that important as longs as I fast." And subhanAllah we know that the suhoor as the prophet salallah alaihi wasalam he said... He said 'Have suhoor' because there is barakah, there is blessings from Allah subhana wa ta'ala in this suhoor... So it's one of the sunnah of the prophet salallah alaihi wasalam to have suhoor and so if you have a light meal, if you get you know a decent amount of rest... You can get up in the morning, eat the suhoor, even if it is a light suhoor... Maybe it's glass of water and a couple of cookies, whatever it is... But the barakah of waking up in the morning and having that suhoor... Alhamdulilah as you bring the barakah in to your life...You are able to defeat shaytaan and the influence of shaytaan more and more... We ask Allah subhana wa ta'ala to make us victorious against the plots and the plans and the deception of shaytaan... Allah humma ameen... Until next time, In sh Allah ta'ala...
