My brothers and sisters,

00:00:15--> 00:00:15

Rassoula

00:00:16--> 00:00:19

said, verily, fasting is not only from eating

00:00:19--> 00:00:20

and drinking,

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

rather,

00:00:21--> 00:00:22

fasting is from vanity

00:00:23--> 00:00:24

and obscenity.

00:00:25--> 00:00:27

If anyone abuses you or acts foolish against

00:00:27--> 00:00:28

you,

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

then say, indeed, I am fasting.

00:00:32--> 00:00:33

Say, and

00:00:34--> 00:00:35

this is in Sahih Ibrahim.

00:00:37--> 00:00:38

My brothers and sisters,

00:00:40--> 00:00:42

it is very important for us to understand

00:00:42--> 00:00:43

that

00:00:45--> 00:00:46

the whole purpose

00:00:47--> 00:00:50

of Ramadan is to reiterate and reinforce

00:00:50--> 00:00:53

the meaning, the essence, the value,

00:00:54--> 00:00:55

the understanding,

00:00:56--> 00:00:56

awareness

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

of Islam. Islam is to submit.

00:01:01--> 00:01:04

Islam means to make my desires, what I

00:01:04--> 00:01:04

wish,

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

subservient

00:01:06--> 00:01:07

to what Allah wants

00:01:07--> 00:01:08

and what Allah wills,

00:01:09--> 00:01:10

And in this, not even to use my

00:01:10--> 00:01:12

logic and say, well, you know, Allah wants

00:01:12--> 00:01:14

this, but logically, this is the reason for

00:01:14--> 00:01:15

it. No.

00:01:16--> 00:01:18

Just think about that. We start

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

fasting from the time of the past beginning

00:01:21--> 00:01:23

to the time of the fast ending. We

00:01:23--> 00:01:24

don't eat, we don't drink, and we do

00:01:24--> 00:01:27

not have any physical relationship with our spouses,

00:01:28--> 00:01:29

what benefit is it to everybody?

00:01:31--> 00:01:33

You might tell, Allah wants it, but why?

00:01:33--> 00:01:34

We don't ask this question.

00:01:35--> 00:01:36

If Allah wants it, we give it.

00:01:39--> 00:01:41

All that we hear, we obey.

00:01:42--> 00:01:44

This is the essence of Islam.

00:01:44--> 00:01:46

Take Hajj, for example.

00:01:46--> 00:01:48

What is so great about the Haram?

00:01:49--> 00:01:51

It's a dress which is neither neither stylish

00:01:52--> 00:01:53

nor is it comfortable,

00:01:53--> 00:01:56

but we wear it because Allah said so.

00:01:56--> 00:01:58

Why do I shave my hair in the

00:01:58--> 00:01:58

after hats?

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

Because Allah said so.

00:02:01--> 00:02:04

Why am I stoning Jamarat? Because Allah said

00:02:04--> 00:02:04

so.

00:02:05--> 00:02:07

Why is Allah saying come for Hajj to

00:02:07--> 00:02:09

the house of of Allah and the Hajj

00:02:09--> 00:02:11

is actually in Arafat which is away from

00:02:11--> 00:02:13

the from the position from

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

the Kaaba?

00:02:16--> 00:02:19

Because Allah said so. The whole of Islam

00:02:19--> 00:02:22

is because Allah said so, and the Muslim

00:02:22--> 00:02:24

is the one for whom

00:02:24--> 00:02:25

the greatest Dalil,

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

the biggest evidence is that Allah said

00:02:29--> 00:02:32

so. To reinforce that, reiterate that, emphasize that

00:02:32--> 00:02:33

in our lives and to

00:02:34--> 00:02:37

make it the foundation of our lives going

00:02:37--> 00:02:38

forward from today onwards.

00:02:39--> 00:02:41

That's the reason why Ramadan comes. Ask Allah

00:02:41--> 00:02:42

to

00:02:43--> 00:02:45

make this far in our lives and to

00:02:45--> 00:02:47

enable us to live our lives henceforth

00:02:48--> 00:02:49

obedient to Allah.

00:02:48--> 00:02:49

obedient to Allah.
