It's a beautiful verse Well, I'm in half, I'm a combat OBE when I

00:00:03 --> 00:00:07

had enough sign and howa over fears the station of his or her

00:00:07 --> 00:00:12

Lord, and prevents their themselves from their passion.

00:00:12 --> 00:00:16

It's not that they are, they can eliminate or extinguish their

00:00:16 --> 00:00:20

passion, it's that the passion is there, but they don't heat it,

00:00:20 --> 00:00:24

they don't obey it. And that's when the alcohol is in control.

00:00:24 --> 00:00:28

And the appetites are subservient to the opposite and a properly

00:00:28 --> 00:00:33

ordered person. And so, you know, that human inclination or desire,

00:00:33 --> 00:00:38

like for food, or for any of these, these aspects can be there.

00:00:38 --> 00:00:41

But they aren't. You know, I wouldn't say they're temptations

00:00:41 --> 00:00:44

in the way that they are for people who struggle with them.

00:00:44 --> 00:00:48

They're the prophets, I named them and the people who resemble them,

00:00:48 --> 00:00:52

and take their paths there. They're in such control, as

00:00:52 --> 00:00:55

Valentino Rossi said, it's, you know, even us the average Muslim

00:00:55 --> 00:00:59

Alhamdulillah, they see co workers and people eating in front of

00:00:59 --> 00:01:02

them, they're not tempted by it, even though they might be thirsty,

00:01:02 --> 00:01:06

they have that thirst, that that that exists there. But you know,

00:01:06 --> 00:01:09

they're Tuckwell during Ramadan, almost puntata blesses them to

00:01:10 --> 00:01:14

solve it. So that's, that's an important thing to keep in mind,

00:01:15 --> 00:01:18

is that go ahead. And I agree with everything Michelle, both of you

00:01:18 --> 00:01:21

stated, and I think, especially in Ramadan, the fact that we're

00:01:21 --> 00:01:26

exercising all of this, you know, control and willpower, and able to

00:01:26 --> 00:01:29

do it is really why we should just see that it's very possible, you

00:01:29 --> 00:01:33

know, even outside of Ramadan, and not to give into this idea that,

00:01:33 --> 00:01:37

you know, just because it's Ramadan, we have, you know, a

00:01:37 --> 00:01:41

protection is actually, I think, you know, for me anyway, I feel

00:01:41 --> 00:01:46

like was part of that gives us a, you know, a view of our own

00:01:46 --> 00:01:53

potentiality. Through the, you know, that poll, we, we, you know,

00:01:53 --> 00:01:57

we show in Ramadan in order that we, again, don't doubt ourselves

00:01:57 --> 00:02:01

because it bleeds and that's what will make us feel like we can't do

00:02:01 --> 00:02:05

it, or we, you know, we justify sinfulness or tend to fall falling

00:02:05 --> 00:02:09

into sinfulness because of this idea that we're just weak, we

00:02:09 --> 00:02:12

can't help ourselves. But if you can do it, and this month and time

00:02:12 --> 00:02:15

and time again, you can resist giving into something that's very

00:02:15 --> 00:02:21

natural and very normal the field and obviously, by extension, you

00:02:21 --> 00:02:25

should be able to do that as well, with the same tools which is God

00:02:25 --> 00:02:28

consciousness, you know, such above being in good company, not

00:02:28 --> 00:02:31

allowing yourself to be in these types of situations in the first

00:02:31 --> 00:02:35

place. There's a lot of, you know, basically ways that we can prevent

00:02:35 --> 00:02:40

falling but I think just the fact that again, we have this

00:02:40 --> 00:02:43

opportunity and hunter that in the month of Ramadan to see ourselves

00:02:43 --> 00:02:46

in the best light is such a blessing, you know, one month out

00:02:46 --> 00:02:50

of the whole year, Inshallah, I hope we're all again, may Allah

00:02:50 --> 00:02:54

protect us all, and give us a continued strength to do and I'm

00:02:54 --> 00:02:54

gonna
