Sheikhing it Up with Sheikh Faiyaz

Just as important as abstaining from food and drink during this blessed month is the "fast of our tongues."

The month of Ramadan is most often linked to abstaining from food and drink. In reality, its a lot more than that.

There are three types of people who worship God, and the best of them are those who worship God recognizing that He is worthy of worship!

Its That Time of Year Again! Sheikh Faiyaz welcomes the month of Ramadan again as the crescent has been sighted and we begin to make our preparations for the transformations of our own souls.

True love can only be understood when someone recognizes their Creator. In a hadith from Imam Hassan al-Askari, he tell us, "God cannot be reached unless by riding the night." During the remainder of this blessed month, its important to spend some moments of our night in dedication and love of God.

Amongst the dominant themes within Islamic tradition is God's all- encompassing mercy and compassion. We begin every act by invoking that same mercy and compassion and during the Holy Month of Ramadan we spend more time in reflection of these qualities. Specifically in the last of these most beautiful nights, its vital to recognize just how vast God's mercy is so we put more of an effort in seekin...

The night of Qadr as mentioned in chapter 97 of the Holy Qur'an is the most important night of worship and seeking closeness to God. Not only is it the night that the Book of God was revealed to the Prophet (s) but it is also an opportunity to be diligent in our devotion and love to God for He has given us this night as a chance to walk into His paradise.

Worship is often only seen through the lens of prayers, fasting, Hajj and the performance of other rituals. But ritualistic prayer and obedience had been fulfilled by the angels pre-Adam. In this episode, Sheikh Faiyaz speaks about the stations acquired by Imam Ali (a) and how we can allow ourselves to utilize his example in transcending the worship of the angels.

In a dua, Imam Ali (a) asks God to make him the best of His servants with incredibly profound words when he states, "You are exactly what I love, so make me that which You love." . In this episode, Sheikh Faiyaz reflects on the meaning of this prayer and how we can fulfill our responsibility to be the best of God's servants.
