Peace be be with you.
We talked about being. We talked about,
listening to, to listening to oneself, to hear,
to be part of the world, and,
we are reaching now the last stage just
before the end of Ramadan, which has to
do
with behaving, to act,
and this is exactly the opposite of the
way the Hadith of the Prophet, peace be
upon him, was constructed, saying that if you
see something
bad
if you see something bad, you have to
change it with your hand.
So you have to change it with your
hand, and if you can't do it, you
have to change it with denouncing it, and
if you can't, this is with your heart.
And this is the lower,
stage, the the the minimum of your faith.
Now, if you look at the way we
have been
to the
to the people around us, and at the
same time,
being part of the whole process of
repairing the world.
Now what we understand is that we have
to act and we have to change
out of our being with the people around
us.
It's
the very meaning of,
Those who believe
and do good deeds.
This is part of our responsibility
in the world
because
what we understand is that
we have to repair and we have to
come back to ourselves. Understanding
that when you come back to yourself,
the way you are with the world
will have an impact on the way you
are with your own self. So repairing the
world
means
repairing yourself,
and there there is here
an internal interdependence
between the 2.
So what we have to do with our
fellow brothers and sisters in humanity, within our
society,
in our neighborhood, neighborhood,
is to act
to make
this world better. And to change it for
the better means that
as a witness of our message before
our fellow brothers and sisters,
we have
to show in which
way we are giving something.
So to repair is to give and you
know that in Islam,
The fact that you are smiling,
to your brother is a as if you
are giving him something. Your presence
is in itself
an act. It's the way you behave.
What
means that you have then to be generous
in the way you give. It could be
a smile. It could be your time, it
could you be your empathy,
it could be even your forgiveness
to the people around you. So to act
has multiple dimensions,
and we are called and it it's requested
from us
to be this good presence,
helping the people
through our presence
to be better human beings.
And this is the way we have to
be part of the process of changing the
world for the better.
Don't forget to tell the people you love
that you love them. Life, it's fragile.
