“I believe that controlling the desire to relish tasty food and tolerating hunger is a basic requirement if one wants to tread the path of enlightenment. Hunger is the most primal, most basic urge. The first thing newborns of every species come to know is hunger. It is hunger that drives human beings to do great stuff, and it is the very same hunger that drives them to do the unthinkable.”
― Abhaidev, Anant

“1 SHA’BAN


Did you know that 6 month prior to Ramadan the Sahaba’s used to make du’a to Allah that He would let them reach Ramadan. After Ramadan they used to make du’a for 6 month that Allah would accept their fasting and good deeds.
Today is the first day of Sha’ban and Ramadan is not too far off. You might be wondering where the time has gone, and might feel a bit overwhelmed or even afraid of the long hours of fasting. You might also be asking yourself, “what have I done so far to prepare myself for this blessed month?�
Many times we focus too much on the aspect of planning our meals for this month, but Ramadan is not the month of cooking, it is the month when the Quran was sent down, a month of worship. So let’s put the menu planning on the side, and prioritize on how we can prepare our hearts for this glorious month.
Something you can start right now is to follow the Sahaba’s example and make that same du’a until we reach Ramadan.
“Allahumma Balighna Ramadan�
“Oh Allah let us reach Ramadan”

It connects heaven with earth, divine with human. It allows us to access the mysteries of our faith. In its feasts and fasts we taste and see God.”
