It's very important that before we share ideas,

00:00:02 --> 00:00:03

we make sure they're rooted

00:00:03 --> 00:00:04

in foundational

00:00:04 --> 00:00:06

rules of interpretation. I'll give you a very

00:00:06 --> 00:00:09

common example. People say that the purpose for

00:00:09 --> 00:00:10

fasting is so we can feel like they're

00:00:10 --> 00:00:11

underserved.

00:00:12 --> 00:00:15

That goes against the foundations of the Sharia.

00:00:15 --> 00:00:17

We have an, a very important principle when

00:00:17 --> 00:00:17

it comes to any

00:00:18 --> 00:00:19

any any time Allah says, oh, you who

00:00:19 --> 00:00:20

believe. That says

00:00:22 --> 00:00:24

that the wisdom behind any command is something

00:00:24 --> 00:00:27

that benefits all the believers, all the Muslims,

00:00:27 --> 00:00:28

not just the rich, not just the poor,

00:00:28 --> 00:00:30

not just the Arab, not non Arab, everybody

00:00:30 --> 00:00:33

because Allah is just. Because if you say

00:00:33 --> 00:00:34

that's the wisdom and fasting, then what do

00:00:34 --> 00:00:35

the poor people, the underserved people get from

00:00:35 --> 00:00:35

fasting?

00:00:36 --> 00:00:37

Served people get

00:00:38 --> 00:00:39

from fasting?

00:00:40 --> 00:00:43

The Allah of fasting is mentioned in the

00:00:43 --> 00:00:44

verse taqwa,

00:00:45 --> 00:00:46

to be beautiful

00:00:47 --> 00:00:48

and obedient to Allah.
