			A very special city is when we are dealing with essential questions pertaining to the Pillars of
Islam and young man. In this session, inshallah, we will take few questions with regards to the
third pillar of Islam, and that is soul fasting. We have with us three new Muslim brothers. Yes,
brother, can I have your first question please. So now when I come when it comes to now, what is the
meaning of sound? And how did it start? Right? The meaning of song is Psalm is an Arabic word. It
literally means to refrain to abstain. Yeah, in an Arabic in an Islamic context. In an Islamic
context, it means refraining from food, from drinking, and from sexual relationship with your wife.
		
00:02:29 --> 00:03:10
			During the part of the day, where in the fixed hours are there for fasting, you need to refrain and
that is the Islamic definition of fasting. Fasting as we know, it is the third pillar of Islam.
There are five pillars of Islam. Number one is to make the Shahada, the bearing witness that Allah
subhanaw taala is the only God second is Salah, and the third one is so so is one of the beautiful
urbanna again of Allah subhanaw taala fasting is a beautiful reminder of Allah subhanaw taala and

			as it was prescribed to the people who came before you, so that Allah gives the reason, LAN local,
		
00:03:42 --> 00:04:34
			so that you may gain God consciousness. This God consciousness element is so important in the house
of Islam, that every ibadah that you do, that you perform, that you observe, it helps you to gain
that God consciousness, because that's the criteria for anybody to be superior than the rest. There
is no other criteria other than the God consciousness and fasting is prescribed to us as it was
prescribed to the people who came before us, which means that fasting is is not a new principle. It
was there. However it was acted, it was prescribed in a different way. But essentially, fasting was
there as a last panel dialysis, the fasting is prescribed to you as it was prescribed to the people
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:41
			who came before you. And Allah gives the root reason the bottom line, the achievement that you need
to get get from the fasting
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:46
			so that you may gain God consciousness
