Remember my brothers and sisters fasting is a pillar of Islam.

We have five pillars.

Praying is also a pillar of Islam. We must pray.

Allah Suhanahwata Allah tells us if you are unable to pray because of sickness or if you are traveling,

then we can change for you a few things to make it easy for you.

Because you and I know that traveling is very, very difficult at times.

So, Allah says, well, if it's more than a certain amount of you know meterage more than a certain

distance or if it is difficult then your prayer you may do it in a slightly different

way you may shorten it in a slightly different way, you may shorten it etc. So

Allah is making it easy for us. Similarly if you're unwell and you cannot stand in

prayer he says to us through the blessed lips of Muhammad peace be upon him that you can sit and pray, no problem.

My aim is not to make things difficult for you, but you fulfil your duty.

If you cannot sit and pray, you may lie down and pray, amazing, but you always do that which you are able to do in the best possible way that you can do.

These verses of fasting show us that if you're unwell or you're on a journey,

you have an option of not fasting and making it up later on when you're okay or when you're no longer on a journey.

Imagine the blessing of the Almighty.

He is giving us comfort in times of crisis.

What is the crisis?

The crisis is, I can't fast if I'm not well and I'm sickly or perhaps I am diagnosed with this virus and I'm concerned about my immune system because I have an

underlying condition.

Allah says the aim was never to make it difficult on you. Listen to what Allah says.
