FASTING | The Sustenance of Souls

Allah says يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ الصِّيَامُ كَمَا كُتِبَ عَلَى الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ O faithful! Fasting is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for your predecessors, that you may protect yourselves (al-Baqarah 2:183). Fasting is one of five pillars upon which this faith of ours is established. It is the institutionalization of abstinence and the sustenance of souls. But feasting after fasting breaks the spiritual ritual of hunger and thirst and leaves the soul starving for meaning.

Ramadan is nigh upon us, and these are the Days of Allah that return to us by His grace year after year, that we may renew our covenant with our Lord and His Emissary ﷺ. Lanturna invites you to join us this year for a weekend study of Imām al-Ghazzālī’s Book on Gluttony
