Peace be with you.
The chronicles of Ramadan during this year are
going to tackle a notion, which is very
important,
central to the very meaning of faith and
the spiritual journey that we have to endure,
during our life.
It's the notion of repair.
It's the fact that we, as human beings,
we have to repair ourself
as much as we have to repair the
world around us
in our family,
in our neighborhood,
and in the world,
as a whole. We have it as an
essential
notion in Islam
related to the notion of pilgrimage.
Pilgrimage means that you go from one place
to another trying to purify yourself,
but this place is yourself,
and the other place is the center, is
your heart, is to be close to god.
And this pilgrimage is all about Tasqiat en
nef's purification,
trying to repair what has been broken in
yourself, what is broken in your life, what
is broken within your family and with your,
fellow human beings. And this is what we
have to translate in our life as human
beings. And we have it in the Quran
when it is said,
we have created human beings in the best
design, the best shape, meaning that at the
very beginning, we were
in the very in the very
purified
state
in innocence.
And then with time, what is happening is
really a a regression,
is that we are
broken sometimes with the very tests of life,
and this is what we have.
And
then we,
reduced him to the from to the lowest
of the law, meaning that we are almost
losing
all what all our qualities as human beings,
and this is the very meaning of life.
Every one of us
is experiencing this, is experiencing that sometimes we
are dealing with our own weaknesses,
with our own mistakes, with
separation,
with death,
with,
everything which is in life, the very meaning
of tests.
And then we have to understand
that the very meaning of life, like,
a a pilgrimage, is to purify us, is
to go through this process of
purification,
is to reform
ourself, and reparation
is the central notion of life.
As human beings,
we have to experience this. We have to
translate this into
our rituals. And as we are fasting,
to fast is to repair.
To fast is to reconcile.
It's to try to come to this the
the the very,
purified
state where we are close to our heart,
close to God, and trying in the light
of this
closeness to God
to understand in which way we have to
deal with our own weaknesses.
We are to to we have to deal
with our own fragility.
We have to deal with our own test,
every one of us. It's a personal
responsibility.
No one is holding it. No one is
or have
has this,
burden to,
bear in his life and her or her
life
except yourself. So it's a personal responsibility.
It's the test. It's the very meaning of
life. To live
one's life as a pilgrimage
and through this purification
to understand that we are
repairing, that we are fixing, that we are
mending, that we are reforming
our life
and for ourselves
and for the people around us and for
the world.
Don't forget to tell the people you love
that you love them. Life is fragile.
