			If you're like every Muslim American,
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:11
			what you realize is
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:13
			being a Muslim here in America is difficult.
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:15
			There's temptation
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:17
			everywhere that you go,
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:19
			on the screens,
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:21
			on your phones,
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:24
			in the discussions that you have with people
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:26
			at work, at school.
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:28
			And sometimes
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:28
			it's
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:32
			very hard to protect yourself from these sins,
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:35
			very hard to protect yourself from temptations.
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:38
			But the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam in
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:39
			one hadith, he tells us,
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:41
			do you need help?
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:43
			Asomu Jannah.
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:45
			Fasting
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:46
			is a shield,
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:49
			and it will shield you from these temptations,
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:52
			and it will give you the strength that
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:53
			you need
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:57
			to keep yourself protected from these sins.
