			Salam Alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh I'm Yvonne Mubarak And may Allah subhana wa Taala accept
from us and from you the good deeds and may He make this month a great month in all aspects. May
Allah Subhana Allah accept all those who have passed away from the virus asking a loss pantai to
have mercy on them, and to have mercy on those who are all affected by the illness mail, they get a
full and speedy recovery, no doubt, Rama Vaughn this year is not like any of the trauma bonds that
we have experienced previously. And that in itself is part of the whole experience of life. We ask
Allah Subhana Allah has helped us in this difficult time, and inshallah together, we can help and
		
00:00:45 --> 00:01:29
			support each other to make much more up till Ramadan. So it's not going to be a stranger on Milan.
But hopefully, it'll be a much more unique and novel experience where we can learn more experience
more gain more out of these precious times. Now, this video is related to reminder number one from
the book 30 steps towards a refreshing Rama line. And I hope that you've managed to read that
chapter, which essentially is about renewing your intention having this sincerity, and logging in,
to move on, you have to be part of the experience. And I'm not going to go over the chapter because
that's something that's already written. But I want to focus on one aspect of that chapter, which is
		
00:01:29 --> 00:02:17
			why do we fast now, some of us no doubt, have, you know, the obvious reason that we fast, because
it's just there, you know, we have to do it, it's part of our obligation. We're fasting because some
people, you know, come up with different reasons as well. To have Taqwa to lose weight, to become
healthy, to feel the suffering of others throughout the world, etc. But I think the most essential
part and probably the most important aspect of why we fast is related to that it is an obligation,
but not just that it's an obligation, meaning obligations, almost like it's a burden, I have to do
it. I've got no choice in the matter, but rather because Allah, the Almighty, the creator has asked
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:48
			me to fast, and because he has told me too fast, then I am responding to him. And this is the true
meaning of Islam. This is what a Muslim is about. It's about submitting to our last panel, what and
if you have that kind of reality within you that imagine going through all these motions, all this
experience, not because it's just you know, something that I have to do, but rather because I want
to do it and because Allah Almighty is deserving of all praise, and I want to
		
00:02:49 --> 00:03:35
			obey Him and I want to fulfill His commands and what he is asking me to do. And if you think about
it, this is actually what made Ibrahim alayhis salam, the great prophet, the great companion close
companion of a loss pantalla Ibrahim will Holly. Why? Because last pantalla summarizes the reality
of Ibrahim, if the call Allahu Rabu a slim, call a slum to lira bill. And I mean, his Lord said to
him SLM submit, he said, I have submitted to the Lord of the worlds and if we look at the story of
Ibrahim, we will see so many examples of this submission to a loss of Hanoi, Thailand is not going
to be the topic of this video. So while we are preparing for Ramadan, as we're entering into the
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:54
			normal line, make sure that your intentions are clear that they are sincere, that they are
plentiful, that they are varied that they're wide and they are magnificent, so that inshallah you'll
get as much as you put in, we're in mid kolibri in Manoa, Samadhi cuando la until tomorrow, see you
then.
