as as the same as last year with it being Roma Bahn coming up just within the next couple of days I don't do Monday nights with Musti in Ramadan because one better things to focus on - everybody's got very far and you know a lot of things going on but what I will try to do is sporadic shorter maybe just twenty to thirty minutes just lessons from the Quran so maybe just read a few verses translate them and give some meaning that's all during the month of Ramadan and people have asked me what should we do during

0:38

the month of Ramadan I think that look the fast is amazing as it is keep the fast I would like to encourage people to what I'm calling a back-to-basics project it's your personal project I want you to take it up a lot of people have contacted me that look they struggle to pray I want you to begin your Salah even for for those and this is a spectrum those who are you know really struggling then even if you're praying just the forth pray and even if you're praying it all together at one point before you're going to sleep or as

1:16

you wake up whichever way you're just praying all of them together and those who can who can pray maybe you know they they can do better than that maybe they can break them up into two maybe they can pray all the day prays together and the night prays together in one go they obligatory part and maybe there's some who can pray all five in their time then al hamdulillah and there is some who maybe can only just pray the Father hamdulillah do that just the obligatory pot and there's some who might be able to do the Knuffle wherever you are on that spectrum I encourage you to kind of to embark on this back to basics project

1:54

and what I would say so do that and even if it's just a few verses of the Quran each day in Ramadan just reading few verses that's all nothing much don't only to burden yourself if you can read more by all means that's beautiful if you can't a few verses maybe you've read half a page having to realize taking you a few minutes that's that's awesome so so that's a key factor and I wanted to focus on three things one the Salah want some connection with the Quran and by extension learning so if you want to learn things learn things people have asked watch are doing

2:34

Ramadan learn if you want to learn Arabic learn Arabic if you want to learn about Islam learn about Islam if you want to learn about the amazing character of the Prophet learn about that learn about anything just learn read do what listen what Evers you're thinking do it and the third thing about human humanizing people okay I'd like us this is the back to basics kind of project the third thing I would like people to really and this can be done in two ways one at a social level and to add a conceptual mental level so at a social level by maybe being charitable

3:11

which a lot of Muslims are but to really understand I want this to expand beyond just Muslims to really try to think from an angle of compassion for Humanity as a whole for even non-muslims I don't mean a cross that doesn't have to be across the globe just thinking look like I want you to put yourself in the mind of non-muslims in this country just think how they see the world how do they see us how do they see Islam had just think about that Jun it's only a thinking project and the other aspect of it is maybe you could do something charitable maybe you could help a lot of people do

3:50

give to Muslim charities but maybe you could just give to a local hospice it doesn't have to be Muslim maybe you could give to a local children's kind of home or a children's the children's ward where children are suffering Children's Hospital law or anything just a little it doesn't even have to be Muslim were you giving you could give to Muslim me it doesn't have to but just reconnecting with human beings so the one thing your Salah however you pray to some connection with learning in the Quran and three some connection with human beings on a societal level people I think

4:27

that's all I would really I think that will be awesome inshallah be an amazing journey and don't worry about things like doubts and stuff like this we all have doubts and it's all good and we can discuss these Childline their own time people I'm gonna leave you with that right there's a lot of some people just starting some discussions there I can't really we've gone into this too much do reach out to me on Facebook Twitter I need to be more active on Twitter Instagram with the Herbalife YouTube most ebolaids subscribe to my
