00:00:18 --> 00:00:19
			This month of Ramadan,
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:21
			month of opportunities,
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:22
			month of hope,
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:25
			is also called the month of taqwa.
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:26
			Ultimately,
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:29
			our desired outcome
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:32
			is to achieve the taqwa of Allahu
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:36
			You might ask yourself the question, so what
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:37
			does taqwa
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:39
			mean?
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:41
			And many of the companions of the Prophet
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:46
			many of the pious predecessors have given a
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:46
			definition
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:49
			for this concept of Taqwa,
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:52
			and the prophet puts it very beautifully
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:53
			when he says,
		
00:00:58 --> 00:00:59
			leave off
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:01
			major sins and minor sins
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:03
			for that is
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:17
			Be like that one who walks over a
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:18
			pathway
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:19
			of thorns.
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:20
			He is
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:23
			mindful of where he steps.
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:30
			Do not belittle
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:32
			any sin
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:33
			because mountains
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:35
			are made up of pebbles.
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:38
			And so this is what Taqwa is,
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:41
			doing what we must be doing
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:42
			and staying
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:44
			away from those things which Allah
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:46
			has prohibited
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:48
			us from.
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:50
			And this month of Ramadan
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:52
			offers that perfect opportunity
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:54
			for us
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:56
			to establish ourselves
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:57
			as believers,
		
00:01:57 --> 00:02:00
			to establish ourselves as slaves of Allah
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:03
			doing what we must
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:04
			and refraining
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:07
			from those things which you should
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:08
			be refraining from.
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:16
			This Ramadan,
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:18
			do more.
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:20
			SANSAV,
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:23
			changing lives through development and relief.
