Omer El-Hamdoon – 30 Steps Towards a Refreshing Ramadan #08 Strive for Spirituality

			Salam Alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuhu
		

			so ham, a lot of Milan is running very quickly, and we're already on the seventh day. And that means
is a quarter of Ramadan has already gone. And in today's reminder reflecting on the eighth chapter
of the book, which is about how do we increase our spirituality, our batteries, no doubt become a
little bit dried, they run low, we have to increase our spirituality and that isn't something that
should just happen in Ramadan, rather, it should be happening on a regular basis. And that's why we
have, you know, the five daily prayers we have the weekly Jamal, we have the night prayers, we have
the fasting we have all different things throughout the year, which we can practice, however, with
		

			Ramadan is that big boost as that supercharged if you like the annual service, which allows you to
keep going for the rest of the year. And that's why we have to always review our purpose. And that
purpose is about purification. How do we get closer to Allah subhanaw taala? How do we cleanse our
soul? How do we protect ourselves and when you look at it, in our book, we mentioned the five
objectives or spirituality, when you look at it, Ramadan gives you all those elements in all those
elements to increase your Eman so that you're doing more good deeds, in terms of taraweeh in terms
of Quran in terms of Vicar in terms in terms in terms lots of stuff. At the same time, you're
		

			increasing dupois to keep away from the bodies and you are having all those elements to purify your
soul fasting is a shield helps to protect you and shield you from the external attacks. And also
surprising me from the internal attacks of the NES. The NES wants to get the best thing a wants to
best thing for it is not necessarily best for you because none of us is always trying to drag you
down. It wants to eat it wants to sleep, it wants to rest it's lazy, it doesn't want to do all those
things online gives you that impetus to control your nerves. Because if you don't have that ability
to overcome your nerves, you will be in a struggle for a long time. And that's why some of the
		

			famous righteous people of the past they said we like Abu yazeed as mentioned by Mr. Minogue in his
book garden of their where he said for 12 years I struggled on my nerves just to try and keep it
under control. And then for a further five years, I was trying to you know understand and so for 17
years, this man are saying that he is struggling how to control his ness and that's not the only
thing lots of scholars on the past have said that as well. So this Ramadan make it an opportunity to
increase your closest to our last pantalla purify your soul and heart and have that shield which
will protect you in Sharla and give you that extra impetus so that your battery is on full charge
		

			your annual service is done. You're ready to go and you are going to be cruising
		

			down the fast way the fast lane towards Allah subhanho wa Taala take care sonawane console
