Don’t forget the share that belongs to our spirits…

In this modern age, we often find ourselves consumed by the pleasures and distractions of the lower self. While there is nothing inherently wrong with indulging in these activities, it is important to remember that neglecting the share of the spirit can lead to a sense of emptiness and dissatisfaction.

During a recent trip with my family, we stopped at various cafes and shops along the way. I reminded my daughter that while it is important to give in to our desires, we must also make time for spiritual nourishment. This includes prayer, reflection, and seeking the company of those who are pious and wise.

By balancing our pursuit of pleasure with a focus on the spirit, we can avoid falling into the trap of addiction and despair. So, while we enjoy our vacations and outdoor activities, let us remember to feed our spirits as well and make time for actions that bring us closer to Allah.

By nurturing our spiritual lives, we enhance and deepen our enjoyment of life.

This will not only bring peace and contentment to our lives but also help us stay grounded and focused on our ultimate purpose in life. So, let us not forget the share of the spirit and strive to maintain a healthy balance between the needs of our body and soul.
