Justice

Quran Juz 2 emphasize the concept of justice. As I was thinking about justice, it occurred to me that justice is a broad term that should cover everything that we do in our life for example, keeping your eyes on the floor as a sign of respect is doing justice to woman. Taking your dog for a walk three times a day is doing justice cleaning your driveway property so that nobody falls is justice. Helping your mother-in-law grandmother get into the car and not being impatient is justice. In many ways, being a Muslim means to constantly be in search of justice . This creates Taqwa (fear of Allah) and those who fear Allah are the Mutaqqin ( rightly guided) May Allah make us all Mutaqqin.

Fasting

Fasting is an exercise in Purification of soul. Through giving up on our lowly desires we reach a higher state of consciousness. In our struggle to reunite with the divine, the spiritual cleanse elevates us to a higher state and our spiritual quotient rises. Fasting is the best way to develop Taqwa or God Consciousness. When you develop Taqwa you become aware of Him. He is always with you. As you dive in deeper, you see Him as you breathe, as you move around, and you see Him in the blowing of the wind, in sunrise and sunset, in the chirping of the birds and rustling of the leaves. Once you become aware of Him, nothing else truly matters. Only He matters. May Allah allow us to achieve some degree of God consciousness this Ramazan.
