00:00:17 --> 00:00:18
			Peace be with you.
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:20
			We talked
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:21
			again
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:22
			about
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:24
			how we become
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:25
			a witness,
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:27
			a witness for our own message
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:31
			in the name of the revelation that we
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:33
			got from God and that we believe in
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:35
			and we understand, and we are requested
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:37
			in this world
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:38
			to witness the message
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:43
			before our brothers and sisters in humanity. How
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:45
			do we achieve this? How is it going
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:46
			to be,
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:49
			bring about in within our daily life with
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:50
			our brothers and sisters
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:51
			before
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:53
			asking ourselves
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:56
			how we are going to deal with our
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:59
			fellow human beings. It's important to understand the
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:00
			very meaning of
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:02
			witness, to be a witness,
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:05
			to bear testimony, and to understand the meaning
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:06
			of shaheda,
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:09
			the meaning of shaheda al ness. As I
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:11
			said, that's important.
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:13
			How are we going to achieve this? The
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:16
			first step has to do with our own
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:18
			self, our own heart, our own consciousness.
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:22
			Revelation is coming to tell us,
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:23
			look around you.
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:26
			Look around you, the world, the way it
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:27
			was,
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:28
			created,
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:29
			the heavens,
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:31
			the moon,
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:33
			the sun, the earth,
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:36
			everything around you, now you have to understand
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:40
			that it has a meaning. So Revelation is
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:41
			coming to tell us
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:44
			that the world has an order
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:47
			and the life has a meaning.
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:48
			That's
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:51
			the way it should be for us to
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:54
			understand that from being a human being, a
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:59
			simple, ordinary human being, to be a spiritual
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:02
			being, to be witness to the very essence
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:02
			of the message,
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:06
			we need to change our way to look
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:06
			at the world,
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:10
			to look at the world knowing that everything
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:11
			in the world
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:13
			has a meaning,
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:15
			and everything in our life
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:18
			has and should follow a direction.
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:20
			So there is an order,
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:22
			and there is a direction.
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:24
			There is a cosmos,
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:26
			and there is a way.
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:27
			That's
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:28
			what we find
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:30
			in the revelation,
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:32
			bringing and helping us
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:35
			to go from this
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:38
			way of dealing with the world with no
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:38
			consciousness,
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:40
			with no understanding,
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:43
			and as if we are dealing our daily
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:45
			life and trying to find a way.
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:48
			And the revelation is telling us that's not
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:51
			the way it should be. If you understand
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:52
			the revelation,
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:53
			you have to change
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:56
			the way you look at the order
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:58
			and the way you follow the way,
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:01
			and the way you follow the path, and
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:04
			the way you come close to God. And
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:06
			this is exactly what we are experiencing during
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:07
			the months of Ramadan.
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:10
			This is exactly where we have to remember
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:13
			that we need to deal with the moon
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:16
			because this is the way we calculate the
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:16
			the month.
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:19
			And you have to deal with the sun,
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:20
			and this is the way we calculate
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:22
			the prayer times.
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:24
			This is exactly what it should be. This
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:25
			reconnection
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:26
			with the
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:28
			global order,
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:29
			the cosmos,
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:33
			and our spiritual way is the only way
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:34
			for us
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:36
			to look at the world in a different
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:38
			way and to become witness
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:40
			before god
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:44
			and before human beings to try to achieve
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:46
			what we have to do to repair the
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:48
			world with no consciousness,
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:49
			no repair,
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:51
			and with no understanding,
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:52
			no way.
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:54
			Don't forget to tell the people you love
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:56
			that you love them. Life is fragile.
