00:00:48 --> 00:00:48
			all over,
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:51

00:00:53 --> 00:00:56
			end of Ramadan, and it's the starting
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:59
			of, normal life. And within this normal life,
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:01
			we should keep the teachings
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:04
			and experience them in our daily life. We
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:06
			have to be dignified human beings.
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:09
			We have to be dignified believers and Muslims.
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:13
			It means to resist everything which is bad,
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:14
			everything which is corruption
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:16
			in our world, and to promote
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:19
			ethics, to promote what is good, to be
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:21
			on earth, men al Muslihin,
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:23
			men of the people who are promoting,
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:27

00:01:39 --> 00:01:41

00:01:41 --> 00:01:43
