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.

The Month of Ramadan sets the course for us to reach ultimate perfection in our duties, responsibilities and, of course, our character.

The last verse of Sura al-Duha speaks to the importance of gratitude and thankfulness. But what exactly should we be thankful for? And how can I express it?

Islamic tradition emphasizes cultivating ones' own spirituality, but not at the expense of others. Rather, it is a tradition that exudes care and compassion for our communities. Sura al-Duha outlines some of our responsibilities in being agents for change.
