			As you can see, the sun is setting here officially at 7:31pm showing you an assistant coach with the
Celtics pointing to their watch, probably indicating that very thing, Kyrie Irving going to the back
now we all know that he has fasted in the past he has said publicly he had to wait till sunset
before he can intake any food or liquid and as we just told you, sunset just past I spoke with an
athlete who has played during Ramadan while he was observing. And he told me that when he played
games, and the sunset happened during the game, he would in fact go and get something to eat
immediately, something small and light, high and sugar, normally fruits like grapes or oranges to
		
00:00:35 --> 00:01:18
			give him a quick injection of energy. Because you guys, it's been 13 hours and 36 minutes since
sunrise and sunset, if he is fasting that entire time, no food, no liquid and that includes water.
Let's get into you talk also about about Kyrie Irving, the famous basketball player, Kyrie on a
personal note, you have said that you are fasting for Ramadan, which for those who are unaware means
no food, no water from sunup to sundown. How do you muster the energy to go out and score 34 points
with very little nutrition in your body? Well, it's a journey with God. And I'm not alone in this I
have brothers and sisters all around the world that have passed and with me, we hold our prayers and
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:55
			our meditation is very sacred. What do you think when you see someone like that? A lot. He talks
about fighting for freedom. But recently also you see him somebody who the news reported on him
fasting during Ramadan and being able to score at such a high level. What do you think is someone
who's not who's not yet mostly non Muslim? You know, when you see something like that, what are your
thoughts impressions, as far as the Ramadan, the fasting and Islam? You know, as somebody as I grew
up, I really respect first of all, I'm into health and stuff, and I understand the you know, health
benefits to fasting. But I respect the discipline of Muslims. And I think that Christians in
		
00:01:55 --> 00:02:34
			America, they don't have the discipline they had 5060 years ago, and I think that's what's
destroying, you know, Christian America is that the discipline compared to old Christians is like
non existent. So, you know, Muslims, the, the discipline to fast and the health benefits of it, and
also the, you know, service to God and the, the constant appreciation of it. I think that's
honorable and I yeah, I think I think it's it's definitely tough to play at a high level like hi
Ray, because you know, you're doing sports against the best people and he's just, he's doing great,
but I think his soul and his spirits in a great place and, you know, he feels like he won he beat
		
00:02:34 --> 00:03:14
			Big Pharma with the help of God and the help of, you know, I guess just not caving to the to the
system. I cannot leave without giving you a gift. If you're not yet Muslim, and you're tuning in to
