Nightly Ramadan Reflections 1: The Bigger Picture   We're back for another year, as guests of the All-Merciful.  Let's see the big picture and make the most of the blessed month!

Some final reflections as we approach the last night of the Holy Month.

The blessed month isn't over yet, and that means theres more opportunity to supplicate to our Creator!

The way we speak and communicate with others is important as it tells a lot about how conscious we are.

The small, good, sincere deeds that we perform are that which never go to waste!

In order to make the most of these last few nights, its important we start preparing for the future. How can we allow for the blessings of this month to continue beyond Ramadan?

As we approach these last few nights of the month of Ramadan, what is more important than perfecting our etiquette? In this episode, we take some advices from the Prophet as he advises us on how to do so....

The Night of Qadr is upon us...let's be sure to recognize its essence and make the most of what has the potential to transform our lives.

"Spirituality" is a popular and attractive word, but to truly "be spiritual" one has to give an effort and that starts with the way we think. What is Imam Ali's approach to understanding his Creator?

The last will of Imam Ali (a) is fulled with beautiful words and insights. Let's practice some of those words...

Part IV God states in (21:107): "And We have not sent you, [O Muhammad], except as a mercy to the worlds." How can we understand and apply this verse in both our theological and ethical understanding of the Messenger of God?

Being grateful for God's blessings is vital on our path of His proximity. But for many, its a trial due to our negligence of what exactly to be thankful for.

The 15th of the Holy Month of Ramadan marks the birth of Hassan bin Ali, the elder grandson of Prophet Muhammad (s). Let's take some insight from his words of advice.

God's remembrance allows us to see the distractions of this world and only focus on Him.

How can we truly illuminate the meaning of God's remembrance by transitioning our mindsets to real focus on Him?

"Dhikr" or being in a state of God's remembrance is stressed a great deal within Islamic tradition. But what exactly does it mean? And how can we truly illuminate its truth?

The human beings loves to procrastinate and waste time. Let's start to collectively make an effort to change that!

Its important that we seek perfection in everything that we do, and amongst those things that need reformation is our relationships...our ability to communicate...and grow as couples, families, friends etc...

Our lives are short, so in the time we are here, its important to leave a legacy that speaks for us in the world beyond this one.

The month of Ramadan is a time to go beyond ourselves and tap into what it means to truly being a slave of God. That requires us to exert ourselves in obedience to God.

We are living in unusual times, and there is that much more reason for us to value community.

We are able to recognize God through His names, and it's important we ponder about them as they draw us closer to true knowledge of Our Creator. In this episode, Sheikh Faiyaz reflect on the last verse from Sura Luqman (chapter 31), that speaks to God as the All-Knowledgeable.
