			So now I don't wanna have to lie um the last Allah salam ala Rasulillah. You know, when you look at
the verses that talk about fasting and sort of the the Bacara, woven through those verses that are
denoting the obligation to fast is so much reference and mention of ease and encouragement to fast
and enticement to fast that if you were to count them, they'd be over 10 in the three, four, maybe
five verses that talk about fasting as sort of their buckler, so Allah Subhana Allah says, Oh, you
who believe and that's number one,
		
00:00:36 --> 00:01:16
			addressing us by being believers, not addressing us as being humanity or what have you, but this is
something that the believers are going to care about. And so that's number one, number two, ALLAH
SubhanA data says quotevalet QC and fasting have been prescribed for you and, and prescription I
mean, literally, it's, it's been written for you and you could argue that that is a more gentle form
of indicating obligation than saying for relied a comb, you know, it has been made obligatory on
you. And so that could also be an indication of gentleness, number three, Allah Subhana Allah
Dionysus Kamakoti, Bala leadin and publikum like it was prescribed for those people before you and
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:55
			so we're getting we're getting consolation by knowing that we're not the only OMA that has to go
through fasting that people who lived before us that they also fasted come Ikuti by living in public
homes. So that's number three, the constellation and recognizing that we're in this with other
owners as well, la La Quinta, taco number four, is that you may gain Taqwa. You know, there are acts
of worship, or there are things we're told to do or not do, where we simply say that they are taboo,
they they're ritualistic, we don't know the reason why we're supposed to do them. We don't know the
reason why we can't do them. We may analyze and the scholars may, you know, debate back and forth as
		
00:01:55 --> 00:02:30
			to what is the wisdom and what's the effective cause what's the I look for this or that but because
Allah did not tell us and because the prophets that I sent him didn't tell us, at the end of the
day, we simply say and Allah knows best but with regards to this right from the get go, ALLAH
SubhanA data tells us why he says that you may gain Taqwa. And as for how Taqwa is gained through
fasting, I mentioned that in another video, the prelude to on fasting, and so you can find that
video there. But with regards to fasting, Allah says that you may gain tacos. So that's number four.
We're told that we're fasting and we're told why we're fasting asked for number five, it's
		
00:02:30 --> 00:03:09
			immediately the next verse over Allah Subhana. Allah says, a yam and Madhu that Allah says that they
are a a particular number of days, it's not forever, you're not going to be fasting all year, out of
an entire calendar out of entire 12 months, you are only fasting for one month, it is a Yemen module
that as soon as the race starts, you see the end of the race, you know that it is only 29 or 30 days
from now am and my do that? And then so that's number six, ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada says, or I think
that's number five. And then Allah subhana data says, What about those who are too sick to fast? Or
what about those who are sick period? And what about those who are?
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:53
			What about those who are traveling ALLAH SubhanA data says, Whoever Have you is sick or traveling to
mean am in Ohio, then so that's number six, and number seven, if you're sick, or if you're
traveling. And number eight is that you can do them at any point in time of the year. Whether you
make up those days, Allah says A to be made up equally, so you're not making up more days because
you miss days of Ramadan. For every day in Ramadan, you have to make up two days and show wider for
every day. And oh my god, you have to make up three days in Canada. No, you make up the same exact
number of days, but am in Ohio, and any number of other days. And so you can make up those days in
		
00:03:53 --> 00:04:05
			any way that you like, you can make them up in sequence, you can make them up with broken sequence,
you can make up one day every month, you can do it however you want, right. And so that's number
eight, for eight the two main aim,
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:17
			while letting you take on a whole video on palm skin, and those who aren't able to fast they're
their residents, though, that they feed a poor person
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:56
			from Anthro Well, I forgive them for what they do not one, two, so Mahananda coming to Thailand,
when Allah says, and whoever volunteers more than that, then it's better for them and for you to
fast is better for you. If you only knew so Allah mentioning to us that fasting is better for you if
you only knew that a statement is our 10th encouragement in this sequence. And then if we go to the
next verse onwards, Allah Subhana Allah mentions for example, you read to Allah who become a user or
whether you need to become a nurse. Allah says Allah wants for your goodness and he doesn't want for
you hardship. So letting us know that this this fast this dehydration and fatigue and exhaustion and
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:59
			you suffering at work and you suffering at school and exams on all of this is not because
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:39
			Allah subhanaw taala wants difficulty for you, Allah wants goodness for you and Allah wants is for
you. When he took me to the editor where he took a robot Am I document that you complete the days
and let you glorify Allah subhana data due to what he has guided you to and in the hopes less that
you be of those who are thankful. So these are just some of the different ways that Allah Subhana
Allah data, we see His gentleness and we see His encouragement in these verses of fasting. And here
we are in the month of fasting got him the lock, we've made it may Allah subhanaw taala write for us
all of the ease that he has prescribed in this month and all of the mercy that he has bestowed in
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:47
			this month and may Allah subhana data make us of those who are successful at the end of this month
with solar lights and I'm hammered by that it's like listening to Stephen cathedra
