Peace be with you.
We reached
the Eid, the festival, and this is the
end of Ramadan.
And,
this
time and this day, it's a time where
we have to rejoice. We have to experience
this happiness of
having done and having experienced
the fasting during 1 month with
everything that has to do with our personal
intimate,
repair and the way we are trying to
be better human beings. That's the time where
we come back to our family, to our,
wife, husband,
father and mother, kids.
This is where we have to experience this
with no sense of hypocrisy. This is part
of who we are, as the prophet, peace
be upon him, said
to Hanvala,
sir, 1 hour
to rejoice and 1 hour to pray, and
you have to deal with it the way
it is, and this is part of our
life.
But,
what we also are experiencing, and this is
yet the reality of our life, it's mixed
feelings during the day because we know that
we are,
dealing with a month that has left now,
that it's behind us, and we are coming
back to a normal life. And the normal
life
could mean that we are forgetting and neglecting
and and coming to a way where we
are forgetting to share, for getting to repair,
for getting to give. And this is where
we have to be cautious and and being
aware
that normal life
could be a trap. And at the same
times, we look at the the at the
same time, we look at the world and
we
remember that in Gaza,
in,
the West Bank,
in
Congo,
in
China with the Uighur, in Burma,
people are suffering.
And the mixed feelings are also part of
the way we are dealing with
any
aid in our life. It's to remember and
to be connected to,
these brothers and sisters, and even those who
are in jail and are suffering,
they are innocent, and the only
fault and the only
mistake, so to speak,
they made was just to speak the truth,
and they are in jail. Don't forget them.
We should not forget them, and it's part
of this,
going through the festival today. So
to rejoice, to be happy, to be with
your family
without forgetting to be with your
greater, bigger family,
the human community,
and your brothers and sisters in humanity who
are suffering
during this very day. Don't forget. Don't
