			Start cutting down on your food a little bit. So panela think about the poor from now start
planning, what are you going to do? You know,
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:12
			I was speaking to someone who was telling me,
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:31
			one of the sisters was actually telling me, I haven't yet prepared for Milan. And I said, What are
you going to prepare? She said, I haven't made a single pie, a single samosa, I haven't made any
savories and I'm thinking all Gosh, Subhan Allah, blah, blah, blah.
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:35
			So I thought, you know what? Oh, no, look at this.
		
00:00:36 --> 00:01:22
			I'm thinking on perhaps I'm thinking preparation might be. So each one thinks of different types of
preparation for the month of abstaining from food, our preparation is cooking food, making food, the
same reasons. By the way, those savories are not healthy at all. No, are they a part of the sooner?
I'm not saying that they are. They are prohibited? No, they are unhealthy because of the fries and
all the the whatever is unhealthy in it and to break your fast with it is one of the most
unhealthiest things return to the sooner Why don't we make a plan this Ramadan? To fulfill asuna of
opening your fast with dates and water? Or one of the two or both? And perhaps you want to add a bit
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:30
			of yogurt and bread? How's that? Subhan Allah bland? I mean, and how about keeping it healthy this
Ramadan? And how about
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:49
			cutting down on the portions that we have from now so that in Ramadan, we don't think that we have
to do cover up? And I've said this so many times people when they fast and at the end of the day
when they open their fast or some people call it when they break their fast both are correct
actually, when you break your fastest more correct.
		
00:01:50 --> 00:02:07
			You break your fast on something that is very unhealthy and after that you eat more than you've ever
eaten outside of Rome, or Milan Subhan Allah. That's not fair. That's not a Muslim. Meaning that's
not the way a Muslim should be. We should be conscious of our food from now.
