ramadan increases your physical hunger. more importantly, it nurtures as well as sustains a spiritual hunger for reflection and renewal. this is the most beautiful hunger.

11-16: israfil & as sur.

i want to be a better muslim. a muslim with not only knowledge, but spiritual intelligence, fortitude, and curiosity. i let my anger and disappointment overwhelm me this week. i allowed poor khushoo and outside thoughts invade my prayer. i want to be at peace. this ramadan is definitely a struggle and i have been asking Allah for forgiveness. i want to worship not out of fear and not as a barterer expecting favor in return; rather, i want to worship purely out of love. i want my motivation for prayer to be love not fear. i want to walk in this dunya overwhelmed by the love i give and not be so concerned about the love i receive.

israfil & as sur. inshaAllah the kiraman katibin--raqib wa atid have on good things to write.
