Peace be with you.
We talked about this attention that we have
to pay towards the world around us, that
we need to
respect
all what was created by God, and this
is essential in the way we understand
thanking for what we,
we receive,
but we have to repair
what humanity
and our fellow human beings
are corrupting and destructing
when it comes to dealing with the world
and it comes to dealing with nature.
As much as we have to repair
ourselves,
our mind,
our heart, our body,
and our relationships
to our neighbors and
the the the societies
within which we are living,
meaning the poor, meaning the exploited people, the
eldest people, all what we said about
this understanding of our responsibility
within our society.
What we
are giving by the creator and who Al
Hayy, Al Hayy means the living, the one
who is alive,
who never dies.
He's giving us from the very beginning
this creation
where nature
is alive, and we have to show respect
towards nature.
And the way we have, even in times
of war, we can't
distract, and we can't,
cut,
trees, food trees. We have to respect them
as a way for us to show respect
towards the creator.
This
way of dealing with nature
is also for us and especially during our
times and when we are talking today about
global warming
and the way we are distracting nature. We
see here fires, and we see there floods.
We need to understand that this is our
responsibility
to repair
what we did,
what our fellow
beings did to the world. That's important. And
at the same time, as we are respecting
the living creatures, we have to respect the
animals. And it is said in the tradition,
in the Hadith, that a woman,
is going to hellfire because she mistreated
a cat and a man and another hadith,
a woman
are going to paradise because they were helping
and giving
water to a dog. That's the reality of
our message.
This is the reality of look at the
world and look at the living creatures,
and you have to respect
every single
living
being. This is your responsibility.
And if some of your brothers and sisters
in humanity
are destroying the world, what you have to
do
is
to repair,
is to protect,
is to give food,
is to protect this nature by the way
you are,
dignifying
its very presence in your daily life. And
this is the way the prophet, peace be
upon him, was crying the whole night
while he was
reminded
that
these are see signs,
and these are the creation you have to
respect, and they are signs in the creation
of night and day and heavens and earth
to tell him,
in order to come close to god,
repair
the living creatures
and the living nature
around you by
respecting
them, by protecting them,
and by
respecting yourself in the day in the way
you deal with nature and in the day
in the way you deal with animals.
Don't forget to tell the people you love
that you love them. Life is fragile.
