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.
