00:00:20 --> 00:00:21
			I'm very happy
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:24
			to come again during this month of Ramadan
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:26
			2016.
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:28
			And during this
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:29
			month
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:31
			and every day of the months
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:32
			of,
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:33
			Ramadan, Insha'Allah,
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:35
			our topic will be
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:37
			resistances.
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:40
			Resistances in the way we are dealing as
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:42
			we are fasting with our own self,
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:44
			trying to get a better
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:46
			understanding of who we are and what do
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:48
			we want to achieve, and we are resisting
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:52
			our human nature, our nature even, to,
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:55
			become better spiritual being.
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:58
			So we will come back to the essential
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:02
			understanding of resistance, even the notion of jihad
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:03
			to come to,
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:07
			understand the intimate dimension when it comes to
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:09
			our emotions, when it comes to our self,
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:10
			when it comes to our mind, when it
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:12
			comes to our life, but also when it
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:14
			comes to our,
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:15
			societies
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:16
			and our
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:17
			communities,
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:21
			human communities as well as Muslim communities. How
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:23
			do we have to deal with,
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:25
			the reality around us and in which we
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:28
			we have to resist in order to reform
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:29
			ourself,
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:31
			the world, and our societies.
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:34
			This will be the topic of this year.
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:36
			Every day, we'll try to get a better
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:38
			understanding, a deeper understanding,
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:42
			and, hopefully, this will help to beautify
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:44
			our fasting, to beautify
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:48
			our days, and to try as Muslims, men
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:51
			and women, to be better human being at
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:52
			the end of the month,
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:56
			much more, of course, that than we had
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:58
			than we were at the beginning of the
		
00:01:58 --> 00:01:58
			months.
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:01
			And don't forget don't forget
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:03
			every day of this month, but not only,
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:05
			just even also after
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:08
			our months to tell the people you love,
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:10
			that you love them, because this life is
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:11
			fragile,
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:12
			very fragile.
