00:00:04 --> 00:00:05
			Brothers and sisters.
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:10
			Some quick thoughts as far as fasting itself
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:12
			is concerned. As we said, it is not
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:16
			only about not eating and drinking, it's also
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:17
			about our general behavior.
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:21
			It's not about Ramadan alone, but it's about
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:23
			creating a life change going forward
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:25
			into the rest of our lives.
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:28
			Keeping in mind the fundamental principle of this
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:29
			fasting is
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:30
			that we
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:33
			are doing what Allah
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:34
			ordered us
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:37
			to do because we know He loves us
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:39
			and we know what He has told us
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:41
			to do is the best thing for us
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:43
			to do. This is the principle that we
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:46
			need to keep in mind and apply
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:49
			in all aspects of our life.
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:53
			We walk and talk and act and deal
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:54
			with people and keep our maisha,
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:58
			our society in a particular way because Allah
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:01
			ordered us to do that and that is
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:02
			the best thing for us.
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:05
			Very important also to understand, told
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:06
			us
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:09
			that there is barakah and suhoor.
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:10
			So, therefore,
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:14
			make sure that you have something to eat
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:17
			before the fast begins. Even if it is
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:20
			a sip of water, even if it is
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:22
			a one date, even if it is a
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:22
			whatever
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:25
			you like to eat. It doesn't have to
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:26
			be a huge big meal.
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:28
			So very important in terms of fasting
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:31
			to have. So second thing is
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:32
			iftar
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:33
			to
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:35
			not to delay it,
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:39
			to make iftar as soon as the time
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:42
			for Maghrib comes. As soon as the adhan
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:44
			is called or whatever means you have of
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:46
			knowing the times of Maghrib
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:48
			is to break your fast,
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:50
			not delay it. Delaying the fast is makes
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:51
			the fast.
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:52
			Disliked
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:55
			this to delay the fast.
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:04
			Fasting
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:07
			in the night is supposed to be
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:09
			for us to pray extra.
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:11
			So don't just pray for the father of
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:14
			Sarat al Rishah and go home. No. Pray
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:15
			and make sure you pray taravi.
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:18
			Make sure that you
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:20
			stay with the Imam because like we said,
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:22
			the hadith of the salam, he said the
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:25
			person who prays and stays with the imam,
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:25
			Allah
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:27
			will forgive his sins.
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:29
			So whatever this the
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:33
			the number of rakas are being prayed in
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:35
			the Masjid that you attend, try to stay
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:36
			to the end,
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:39
			and then pray the with or also with
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:40
			the imam, and then go home. Right? If
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:42
			there is a reason, if there is some
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:43
			emergency, it's a different matter. You can leave
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:46
			because it's a nafir salah and.
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:47
			But,
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:50
			it is a very important salah. So Taravi
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:52
			is extremely important. Tarawee is.
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:54
			Tarawee is in the in the place of
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:56
			tahajjud, so make sure that you pray and
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:59
			you benefit from this beautiful month.
