The speaker explains that the best explanation for the behavior of Islam is that individuals who identify Islam as being a "has been" or "has done" will be able to avoid sin and achieve their obligations. They also explain that the behavior is inevitable and that individuals who have already achieved their obligations will become the closest people to Islam.

			Who you who believe fasting is prescribed upon you, as it was prescribed upon the people before you
so that they could learn taqwa. This comes in the Holy Quran, Allah subhanho wa Taala St. St.
toccoa.
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:26
			I'm going to explain to you in the my personal, best explanation insha Allah and hopefully you
understand what that is. But the easiest example for taqwa
		
00:00:27 --> 00:01:02
			is that a person who identifies that Allah subhanho wa Taala is watching him 24 hours. So for
example, let's just say after fudger Salah, you're driving home, four o'clock in the morning,
there's no pedestrians, there's no police officers, and you standing at a set of traffic lights. Now
these traffic lights, have a camera, you know, has a camera, nobody's there, and you're going to go
through those traffic lights. You're not because you know that there's a camera there. But let's
just say that camera wasn't there. If the camera wasn't there,
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:14
			there's a good chance some individuals who shouldn't be doing this, but some individuals would cross
the camera nights and just drive through.
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:49
			And one instance he's identifying that someone is not there but watching and one instance he's
identifying that no one is there and he's going through. If a person brings into his life that Allah
Subhana Allah is watching you with that camera. 24 hours, you're wrong and you're right, your sin
and your good deed is seen by Allah subhanho wa Taala and you God fearing individual, and you always
conscience that Allah is watching, I cannot commit the sin. This is what you call taco. Now what's
the relation between taco and Ramadan?
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:59
			It is the best explanation and we will stop here. Know in the month of Ramadan, Allah subhanho wa
Taala says fast
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:27
			and what did the Muslim oma start doing? They start to fast rather people start preparing. before
Ramadan comes they start to prepare too fast. They start to buy the groceries they start to you know
fixing their schedules and everything and because the month of Ramadan is coming, no the month of
Ramadan arrives and now you're eating for 11 months. You will drinking for 11 months when you want
it how you want it. You're doing things for 11 months.
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:34
			The know the month of Ramadan. You can't do anything you can eat when you you cannot drink when you
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:41
			for 11 months you were doing this and now all of a sudden you're not doing it for one month who
you're doing that for
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:42
			you doing
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:53
			for the sake of Allah subhanho wa Taala you're doing it for Allah right? No in the month of Ramadan
is here Allah has sent Allah shown us
		
00:02:54 --> 00:03:14
			the Juno and the 11 months when your parents tell you or when the Imam tells you stop committing sin
stop listening to music, stop drinking alcohol, stop taking drugs, stop swearing stop having bad
manners, stop doing this stop doing this and and you say I can't do it. It's like an addiction. I
can't stop listening to music It's impossible.
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:17
			Last proven tune this month.
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:41
			That when you're alone at night, or you're alone in the morning or during the day when you're
fasting, no one is watching you and your pocket or when you're walking past the fridge you might see
cold water but you're not drinking it anymore. You're not going to take the sweets and eat it even
though nobody is there. But while you're not going to eat or drink it because you know that Allah
subhanho wa Taala is watching.
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:47
			This is inevitable that every single person Muslim has the core.
		
00:03:49 --> 00:04:31
			So if everybody understands that they have taekwon Allah shonas that I told you to stop eating and
drinking and you stop like this the day Ramadan started, you stopped eating and drinking. That means
that if you wanted to stop any sin for the sake of Allah subhanho wa Taala regardless if you're
alone or with people, you could do it just as you give up eating and drinking for the sake of Allah
subhanaw taala Anna so taqwa is automatically built in you. Those individuals are fast,
automatically, you've already accepted it, because you're starting to fast know in the next 11
months, if we try to keep toccoa preserved and take this taqwa that is almost given to us. That is
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:41
			given to us by last Montana as a part of us and carry on to next Ramadan, we will become the closest
people to Allah subhanho wa Taala in sha Allah
