The path towards happiness is easy to describe, but very difficult to walk on. #quote #freedom #sufism #islam #religion #love #giving #heart #simple Got Tongue? With Ramadan about to begin, many of us place much emphasis on the physiological aspects of it with regards to food and water intake, counting hours and comparing how long people fast for. But one essential part of fasting involves a part of the body many people today want to let loose at all costs, the tongue. So in an attempt to re-orient our focus, I'm reposting this piece (link for the full version in the bio): - We all know the problem of the tongue. But for some reason, it is just so irresistible to open up our mouths to say what comes to our minds the second it comes up. Very few have actually reflected upon our very anatomy to get a sense of what God has intended for us to do with it. Consider this: two ears, one mouth – this should be a hint for what kind of speech/listen ratio we should be striving for. How about this: a set of lips, a set of teeth – two gates/check points before that tongue comes out. - The very beginning of worship is silence. Our relationship with God, the basis of which is through the prayer, is preconditioned by our very conscious act of keeping silent from everything other than the remembrance of Him. The Beloved ﷺ said: - أربع لا تصير إلا في مؤمن: الصمت وهو أول العبادة، والتواضع، وذكر الله تعالى، وقلة الشر - Four (qualities) do not gather except in a believer: silence which is the beginning of worship, humility, remembrance of God the Exalted, and minimal wrongdoings. - #islam #religion #speech #spirituality #sufism #freedom #quote #quran #prophetmuhammad Feels like I've been living in a cave, because it's been a while since I saw the outside world 😕. The volume of material you have to get through in medical school on a weekly basis, with the expectation that you get some sort of grounding in it so you can participate in clinical reasoning during tutorials/practicals is like have a water hose at full power just so you have a drink! #medicine #medstudent #medschool #studying #lecture It's not important if you have style, fame, or money. If you don't have a good heart and humility, you're worth nothing. #quote #wisdom #heart #humility #caring #fame #money #style #español #spanish Reading is an exercise performed in solitude, the end result of which is a feeling of connection. #reading #books #library #quote #jamesbaldwin #wisdom #history #psychology #thinking ‪Something to ponder on...‬ #quote #wisdom #thinking #intelligence #teaching #learning Science in the Golden Age of Islam . Many Muslims are eager to point out that algebra was a discipline put together by al-Khwārizmī, but few know that in the introduction to his book on algebra he spends the first few lines praising God and invoking God’s salutations upon the Beloved ﷺ before mentioning that one of the primary reasons for him putting together this work was to help Muslims with calculating their inheritance amounts, which are based on an elaborate inheritance structure outlined in the Quran. He does mention that it was also to facilitate their business transactions and worldly affairs. But the fact that his engagement in this field was as much a religious devotional act as it was an intellectual one cannot be glossed over. Furthermore, this is not a unique case in Islamic history. The Golden Age of Islam was not what some have tried to imagine by projecting modern science and materialist notions of the “rational” onto the past. . Read more at Andalus Online.
