was slain alladhina Otto kitabi public way Yakama taco LA, the we'll see that I'm telling you will
see it means the concise legacy that I'm telling you and the people before you that advocate up is
that they should have the taqwa of Allah. This is a laws we'll see you and the evidences and verses
for taqwa are way too numerous to mention. But taqwa is the essence of Islam. It is the pinnacle of
Islam. It is the backbone of Islam, because you're conscious of Allah. And Allah is saying the
purpose of Siam is to get to taqwa. So let us see what happens when we fast in the month of Ramadan.
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:13
			There is no other deed that brings about a sense of consciousness of a law, like siyam. Look at how
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:57
			prayer affects us. The fact of the matter is that unfortunately, prayer has become a routine. Not
that it should be but it is the case. Prayer has become monotonous ritual, we look at the watch, we
say Oh, time for Lord, let me just go pray. And even as our heads go up and down, our hearts and
minds are attached to the work the job pressures, assignments, children, the fact of the matter is,
unfortunately, for most of us, Salah has not brought about the reality that it should as well as the
guts, I'm not saying is correct, I'm saying just saying that's the reality, right, as well as the
cat, the cat, what is the cat for us these days, we take out a pen, right to check and we think our
		
00:01:57 --> 00:02:36
			cat is done. And technically it might be done. But rarely does the cat bring out the type of
consciousness that it should. Once upon a time, Zakat would mean you would go to the poor family,
you would find them you would physically hand them, you would see the effect this is going to affect
you. You will see that your team the fukada Misaki, you will go to 510 1520 houses, you're going to
be come back affected like I thank Allah But these days, the charity organization called us air
conditioned room fundraiser going on to pull out your nice fancy $500 pen, write your check as they
call us. I've done my zeca technically you have where's the horseshoe that comes from that? Now let
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:49
			us look at the cat. Sorry, let's look at Sam, what happens in the month of Ramadan? Every one of us
what happens? We genuinely feel spiritual. We began to monitor
		
00:02:50 --> 00:03:40
			our tongues, our hands, our eyes. We began to consciously think, Oh, I shouldn't be standing here.
That's how I'm going on on fasting. People are backbiting slandering. I can't I can't be in this
company. Literally we become conscious of a law during the month of Ramadan during slam even that
which is Helen, if somebody slanders or fights against us, we're technically allowed to fight back.
But what did our processing say? When one of you is fasting and then somebody comes in just begins
the tirade verbal tirade or tries to fight with him, you just remind yourself you're fasting and you
remind him in the slime in this time, so that you yourself control those legitimate emotions is
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:53
			allowed to return what the person has done to you. But in cm we reach that height. So quietly,
clearly we see a competitor who is in fact, we notice that taco is achieved through the fasting
