			Peace be with you. As we are reaching
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:21
			the 3rd day of Ramadan, we are talking
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:24
			about this very notion which is essential to
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:26
			our understanding of our faith
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:29
			to repair, to reform our self, our heart,
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:30
			our life.
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:32
			He will understand that
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:33
			the central notion,
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:36
			which is connected to the notion of repair,
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:38
			is the notion of
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:39
			is remembrance,
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:42
			and this is the very essence of the
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:43
			Quran. In
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:45
			we have revealed
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:48
			the remembrance, which is one of the names
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:49
			of the Quran.
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:52
			Meaning what? That we only have to remember
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:54
			that god is with us, that Allah is
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:56
			here, that God is around us. It's,
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:59
			between ourselves and our heart, and it is
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:01
			is the creator of,
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:03
			the heavens and the earth. It's not only
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:04
			about this.
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:07
			It's very much about coming back to our
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:10
			heart and understanding that this life has a
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:12
			meaning. As we said
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:13
			in the
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:15
			point here
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:17
			that we belong to God and to him
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:18
			we are returning.
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:21
			The point here is that what we have
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:24
			in Surat Kahf, it's very much the essence
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:25
			of everything.
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:36
			We you were heedless of it, of it
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:38
			meaning what? The death, your own death.
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:42
			We unveiled for you its truth,
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:45
			which is the very truth of life is
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:47
			that you are going to die.
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:48
			And we
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:52
			understand that after your death, you will
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:54
			know the truth of your life. You will
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:56
			know the truth of,
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:57
			God,
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:58
			but
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:01
			what you have to understand what you have
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:03
			to understand, what you are reading this about
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:05
			your death is that during your life, you
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:06
			have to remember.
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:09
			You have to avoid this,
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:11
			being heedless
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:14
			and come to this consciousness of the very
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:16
			meaning of life. This consciousness
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:17
			here,

00:02:30 --> 00:02:33
			on your way towards your death, meaning towards
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:35

00:02:41 --> 00:02:43
