Morning Reminder. Monday 18th of Shaabaan. Using Ramadan as an Opportunity to Purify our Souls. Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem. Fasting is not only about abstaining from food and drink but it is also about abstaining from anger, backbiting, jealousy, greed, thinking ill of people; and all the other diseases of the heart. Purification of the soul from the illnesses of the heart is not an easy task and the person who is able to free him/herself from these unhealthy qualities is truly the successful one. Allah (swt) says: “And [by] the soul and He who proportioned it; And inspired it [with discernment of] its wickedness and righteousness, he has succeeded who purifies it.” (Qur’an, 91:7-9) We all suffer from the constant annoying whispers of the shaytan (devil) that just won’t go away, thus making the task of purification even more difficult. For this reason, the blessed month of Ramadan is an ideal time to work on purifying our souls. Not only does Allah (swt) lock away all those evil shayateen (devils) during the entire month; but fasting in itself is a form of purification thats why the Prophet encouraged fasting on Mondays and Thursdays and this sunnah can continue till Ramadan for those who fast regularly but we must avoid fasting too many days from the few days left for Ramadan so that we can rest and reserve some strength for Ramadan. To be continued in shaa Allahummah. We ask Allah to keep guiding our eemaan and protect us all from satanic plot. Aamin.
