The question we are talking about taqwa, we are talking about fasting. We are talking about the benefits of fasting and how Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala sent us fasting in order to make us muttaqun, in order to make us people of taqwa.

Qala Jalla wa ala, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala mentioned this, that He said fasting has been prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you. So that you may become muttaqoon.

Auto-generated transcript: بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم، و الحمد لله، و السَّلام على النبيﷺ و عِترته. إخوتي وأخواتي الكرام، كل العبادات التي نمارسها في ديننا الحنيف هي أدوات مصممة لمساعدتنا في تحقيق شيء ما. على سبيل المثال، قال الله تعالى: "إِنَّ الصَّلَاةَ تَنْحَةٌ عَنِ الْفَحْشَاءِ وَالْمُنكَرِ". Verily, the prayer is something that keeps us away from lewdness and evil deeds._similarly, regarding the month of Ramadan and fasting, Allah Almighty said: "يا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ الصِّيَامُ كَمَا كُتِبَ عَلَى الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ". O you who believe, fasting has been prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you, so that you may become people of taqwa. Taqwa is that beautiful state where a person has fear and awe of Allah in their heart, along with gratitude for all that Allah has given them. This combination leads to taqwa, which is being afraid of displeasing Allah, especially since we love Him more than anyone or anything else. And this is why Allah Almighty said, "I have prescribed fasting so that you may develop taqwa." The benefits of becoming muttaqeen are immense, as all the promises of Allah in the Quran are only for those who possess taqwa, not just for ordinary Muslims. While being Muslim is a great honor, to truly benefit fro

The faraiz are fard. You have to do them...
