Tariq Ramadan – Chronicles of Ramadan #14 Heedless

Peace be with you.

We talked

again

about

how we become

a witness,

a witness for our own message

in the name of the revelation that we

got from God and that we believe in

and we understand, and we are requested

in this world

to witness the message

before our brothers and sisters in humanity. How

do we achieve this? How is it going

to be,

bring about in within our daily life with

our brothers and sisters

before

asking ourselves

how we are going to deal with our

fellow human beings. It's important to understand the

very meaning of

witness, to be a witness,

to bear testimony, and to understand the meaning

of shaheda,

the meaning of shaheda al ness. As I

said, that's important.

How are we going to achieve this? The

first step has to do with our own

self, our own heart, our own consciousness.

Revelation is coming to tell us,

look around you.

Look around you, the world, the way it

was,

created,

the heavens,

the moon,

the sun, the earth,

everything around you, now you have to understand

that it has a meaning. So Revelation is

coming to tell us

that the world has an order

and the life has a meaning.

That's

the way it should be for us to

understand that from being a human being, a

simple, ordinary human being, to be a spiritual

being, to be witness to the very essence

of the message,

we need to change our way to look

at the world,

to look at the world knowing that everything

in the world

has a meaning,

and everything in our life

has and should follow a direction.

So there is an order,

and there is a direction.

There is a cosmos,

and there is a way.

That's

what we find

in the revelation,

bringing and helping us

to go from this

way of dealing with the world with no

consciousness,

with no understanding,

and as if we are dealing our daily

life and trying to find a way.

And the revelation is telling us that's not

the way it should be. If you understand

the revelation,

you have to change

the way you look at the order

and the way you follow the way,

and the way you follow the path, and

the way you come close to God. And

this is exactly what we are experiencing during

the months of Ramadan.

This is exactly where we have to remember

that we need to deal with the moon

because this is the way we calculate the

the month.

And you have to deal with the sun,

and this is the way we calculate

the prayer times.

This is exactly what it should be. This

reconnection

with the

global order,

the cosmos,

and our spiritual way is the only way

for us

to look at the world in a different

way and to become witness

before god

and before human beings to try to achieve

what we have to do to repair the

world with no consciousness,

no repair,

and with no understanding,

no way.

Don't forget to tell the people you love

that you love them. Life is fragile.
