Work on Four Cores to Improve Your Islam! Sh. Zakaria al-Ansāri listed four essentials for a healthy Islām. Look at them like core exercises for a healthy physique. These four are for healthy faith! 1) Establishing the individual and community obligations 2) Avoiding or abandoning the prohibited 3) Avoiding excess with material things 4) Being patient with hardships The first two form the foundations of being upright (istiqāma); the third is the foundation of indifference to this world excess (zuhud) and the last is the foundation of being satisfied with Allah (ridā). Action item: To work on these spend 10 minutes a day reflecting on each by each by reading from the chapter titled after them in Riyadh al-Sālihīn (in a group setting is ideal), thinking how you can transfer these cores to your life. Do you have any thoughts or ways that you use to implement these four essentials? Share below! Have a great week! Suhaib
