00:00:08 --> 00:00:13
			Bismillah Soleimani Kamara hit the
light well better catch. Ramadan
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:16
			is a time of disciplining and
fortifying the body and the soul.
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:21
			Naturally, a lot of us focus on
our own worship and development
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:25
			this month, and sometimes take the
opposite direction when it comes
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:29
			to our children. Instead of
teaching them to make the most of
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:33
			the month for themselves, we make
excuses for why they can't fast
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:37
			why they shouldn't stay too late
at the masjid why they shouldn't
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:41
			wake up for budget. So for most
children, Ramadan becomes a
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:45
			countdown to eat. They're just on
the sidelines waiting for the days
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:50
			to pass. What if we actually
encourage them to fast a day?
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:54
			If not for a whole day? Maybe a
few hours? What if instead of
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:57
			letting them sleep through a
budget, so that we could enjoy a
		
00:00:57 --> 00:01:02
			quiet so who we actually woke them
up and ask them to join us? What
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:06
			if we let them stay overnight at
the masjid for the PMS? What would
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:07
			they see?
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:13
			They would see and experience
dedication. They would see and
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:17
			experience sacrifice, and they
would see and experience what love
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:23
			for God above comfort and ease
really means this Ramadan let us
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:28
			engage our children in the
struggles as well as the joys of
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:32
			this beloved month. Let them
endure hardship for the sake of
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:36
			God so that they taste the
sweetness of the struggle for his
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:42
			sake for themselves instead of
just watching us just like walk in
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:44
			and said I want to live well but I
got to
