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.
