“Fasting it’s almost like you are disconnecting from the physical world because eating is a physical need, so you are cutting off the physical satiation and you are filling yourself with what is spiritual, so you are feeding your soul .. you are starving your body but feeding your soul.”

- Yasmin Mogahed (via locamaniaco)

With regard to fasting, Allah declared: “O you who have attained to faith! Fasting is ordained for you as it was ordained for those before you, so that you might remain conscious of God.” 2:183

Cleanse your heart of envy, jealousy and other diseases before you speak, for indeed it's temperament, malice or warmth is often detectable by the other hearts you are speaking to.

"1. Be Impeccable With Your Word Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word..."

“

1. Be Impeccable With Your Word
Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.

2. Don’t Take Anything Personally
Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won’t be the victim of needless suffering.

3. Don’t Make Assumptions
Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.

4. Always Do Your Best
Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse and regret

Sat, 30 Jul 2011 10:51:52 -0400

“It seems to me that almost all our sadnesses are moments of tension, which we feel as paralysis because we no longer hear our astonished emotions living. Because we are alone with the unfamiliar presence that has entered us; because everything we trust and are used to is for a moment taken away from us; because we stand in the midst of a transition where we cannot remain standing. That is why the sadness passes: the new presence inside us, the presence that has been added, has entered our heart, has gone into its innermost chamber and is no longer even there, - is already in our bloodstream. And we don’t know what it was. We could easily be made to believe that nothing happened, and yet we have changed, as a house that a guest has entered changes. We can’t say who has come, perhaps we will never know, but many signs indicate that the future enters us in this way in order to be transformed in us, long before it happens. And that is why it is so important to be solitary and attentive when one is sad: because the seemingly uneventful and motionless moment when our future steps into us is so much closer to life than that other loud and accidental point of time when it happens to us as if from outside. The quieter we are, the more patient and open we are in our sadnesses, the more deeply and serenely the new presence can enter us, and the more we can make it our own, the more it becomes our fate.”

Thaubaan رضي الله عنه said, Whenever the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم finished with his prayers he used to pray for forgiveness (by saying Astaghfir-Allaah) three times, and say, “Allaahumma anta al-salaam wa minka al-salaam, tabaarakta yaa dhaa’l-jalaali wa’l-ikraam.

Teddy thought that it was due to her caring and motherly nature but whenever Molly saw Teddy she thought of his father and remembered what Remus had said to her years ago in Grimmauld Place after a boggart had terrified her. -- "And as for who's going to look after Ron and Ginny if you and Arthur died, what do you think we'd do, let them starve?"

“But forgiveness.. I’ll hold onto that fragile slice of hope and keep it close, remembering that in each of us lie good and bad, light and dark, art and pain, choice and regret, cruelty and sacrifice. We’re each of us our own chiaroscuro, our own bit of illusion fighting to emerge into something solid, something real. We’ve got to forgive ourselves that. I must remember to forgive myself. Because there’s an awful lot of gray to work with. No one can live in the light all the time.””
