			One of the things that Muslims do seriously is they spoil the whole Ramadan because of the food that
we have. We Indians have brought to the table of Ramadan we bought samosas pakoras. You know, kebabs
she kebabs the RAM kabobs the you name it the fried foods, the pizzas and whatnot right? And all of
that has to be given and has to be eaten because we're fasting in the month of Ramadan we eat, right
this is this is a really bad thing for Muslims. If you're eating more in Ramadan than outside
Ramadan, you're completely spoiling the fast completely spoiling.
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:55
			Why? Because one part of Ramadan is to actually make ourselves be disciplined with food.
		
00:00:56 --> 00:01:21
			What is the point of having you know, what is the point of staying hungry? What's the point the
point of staying away from from food all day in Ramadan and saying goodbye from food and we eat so
much between Mercury and seafood. We eat so much that you don't get hungry for the entire day. You
don't get thirsty for the entire day. You just don't feel like any food entire day. What was the
point of fasting?
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:37
			Allah wants us to be hungry a little Are you gonna die in series? If you're gonna die then don't
fast. Allah told us that don't fast. You realize that the Sunnah let people say what is the Sunnah
way of eating?
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:44
			Do not even think that the biggest sunnah of the Prophet sallallahu Mahad before he ate was hunger.
		
00:01:46 --> 00:02:23
			His biggest sunnah is hunger. Then he has to not have food. I'm not making this up. You go through
the Hadith. He has sometimes you know three days without food sometimes two days without food
sometimes a whole day without food. Okay, sometimes he had the lunch but he never had the supper.
Sometimes he has to suffer he Nevada lunch is very clean a hadith either Tasha when he used to have
his supper he'd miss his next day lunch when he would have a lunch He probably misses Mr. Supper
okay sometimes he had both very rarely had both okay, I shot the Allah Hannah she says that three
hole full moons have gone by nothing was but not the stove did not even the stove was not even lit
		
00:02:23 --> 00:03:14
			and three moons had gone by two whole months they you know without fruits I went they said what did
you What did you survive and she said water and dates. That's the household of the Prophet
sallallahu awesome. So the first thing is he had a lot of hunger then he had some food we have a lot
of food and a little bit of hunger. That's the total opposite and the next thing we do is you know
all these foods that we put on the on the plate and especially for if we're killing ourselves they
know how unhealthy all that food is how bad it is no wonder most of us are ending up in the ICUs and
I'm saying there's so much fat and so much stuff that's going down that you know people think that
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:46
			that is that is you know Big King of Ramadan yo mashallah Ramadan is coming we're gonna have loads
of food you're going to eat so much that people are going to be half dead by the end of Ramadan why
in the world is this you know you have fruits there you have foods that you have started that you
have to be honest there you have to pull out there you have the you have the you know, the root is
there you have the nonce there you have the salad that then I was just a first round then you come
for round two after throw away the round three or so who time then you got loads of cups of tea
before you know the end of soul. And you basically fill yourself up you're feeling tired, you're
		
00:03:46 --> 00:04:20
			feeling tired, you don't don't feel like doing so much I bother you feeling a little you know to
digest all that food is going to take time you complain even during taraweeh that is you know, his
armor is painful. Of course it's gonna be painful, alright, half the people can't even keep the
blue. Because you know, you're gonna let something out either you burn comes out or some gas comes
out right? You can let go one way or another right? So you're losing you will do as well you're
having a painful taraweeh having a painful night. And what for because he just wanted to own the
stuff yourself for the reason that you're hungry during the day when Allah azza wa jal wanted us to
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:52
			be hungry. Because when you're hungry, then you're awake. And when you're awake, you can connect
your mind to Allah. That was the reason why Allah told us to be hungry, that you got not now that
I've taken foods away, you haven't got time to prepare the food, you don't have to worry about the
food. You don't have to worry about the lethargic you know, reaction you have in your body. And now
that you're actually awake, your mind is sharp. And you can actually think about me and you can
think of it better. Okay, so that's that's another thing about about that
		
00:04:58 --> 00:04:58
			in
		
00:04:59 --> 00:04:59
			in
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:01
			No
