The month of fasting

 The month of fasting and self-purification

It is in the blessed and merciful atmosphere of the month of fasting that we are attracted to goodness, refrain from thinking bad, wanting bad and doing bad just so that the soul is not contaminated by sin. This is purification of the soul. When we consider the sanctity of the month of fasting and refrain from despising others, be it at home or business, office affairs or country. When we are creating ease for others and not ourselves. We are trying to protect ourselves from evil if we do not allow others to become barriers to progress, success and happiness.

The month of fasting is a mercy for us, forgiveness, freedom from hell and a sanctity environment in which the nafs becomes weak, the nafs becomes active and thus the journey to self-satisfaction becomes easy.

Indeed, Allah has not created any soul devoid of good, but the soul incites evil. Therefore, a person who becomes helpless in front of the incitement of the soul listens to the soul with various tricks. Sometimes the test of children I start worshiping the self-giving evidence of failure, then sometimes the temptation of wealth makes him a slave to the self, so actually, he is not a slave to the Lord, but he is serving the self, no matter how much he prays and fasts.

Spiritual diseases are the causes of physical and mental diseases. Soul and emotional provocations make souls suffer from spiritual diseases, on the other hand, harmless people from whom no one is afraid of harm and they are the cause of spreading good. They are also often spiritually sick, such as envious, proud, arrogant, boastful, quarrelsome, ill-mannered, egoistic, proud, and full of malice, and become helpless in front of people like them. They become or become victims of coldness, become closed in the shell, bind themselves to self-imposed restrictions, give up their rights and expect their subordinates to give up their rights in the same way. It is true that abandoning the truth while being on the truth is lofty, but others cannot be forced into it. It is as if the ego does not make only one person sick, but damages the spiritual health of many people. Ramadan is the month that acts as a salve for these diseases. If we correct our concept of worship this month, and instead of just exercising prayer and starving the body, we should focus on our conscience. While paying attention to the sound, cry to produce every jhatka, refrain from action, thought, intention, refrain from obscenity, refrain from all those actions that are prohibited from doing, then we are in the purification of the self. can be successful.

Remember, not only verbal remembrance is enough for purification, but practical remembrance is also necessary. Let us pledge that this Ramadan we will leave at least one bad habit for the sake of Allah and at least one good habit consciously. For example, stop seeking glory because glory is for Allah and Allah never honors the one who participates in it until he abandons it and holds the blade of forgiveness so that we worship Allah from the bottom of our hearts. If we do this and stick to this attitude for the whole year, it is a sign that we have attained the greatness of Ramadan, we have succeeded in the purification of the soul. May Allah bless us this Ramadan. Make it a reason for self-purification for us. Aameen
