 I seek refuge with Allah from the accursed devil. In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful. Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds. And peace be upon our master Muhammad and his family. The pious and the pious. Imam Al Baqir, peace be upon him, has been narrated saying, Al-Siyamu Al-Hajj, Toskeenu Al-Qulub. Do you sometimes feel depressed under the weather, feeling the blues, not feeling comfortable, feeling not at ease? Are you looking to be at peace, inner peace? Are you looking to comfort your heart? Imam Al Baqir says that fasting and Hajj bring comfort to the heart. Bring inner peace. Al-Siyamu Al-Hajj, Toskeenu Al-Qulub. Indeed, look at those who go to Hajj. They go with the millions. They go around the Ka'bah. They go in between, they confess their sins. They stand with the millions, united, unity and diversity that brings peace to the heart. Same thing with fasting. With fasting, you might feel hunger. You might feel thirst. You might be tired. You might want to sleep. You might be food deprived but inside you feel good. There's inner peace. You will rarely find someone who's fasting but will tell you I'm extremely depressed or I'm under the weather or I'm feeling the blues. Of course, there are exceptions. There are exceptions. If depression is a for those that are medically have medical depression, yes, that's another case. For those that are feeling under the weather for those that are looking for inner peace for those that are looking to put their hearts at peace fasting. When you're fasting, physically you might be tired. You might be hungry. You might be thirsty. But at heart, you know that you're satisfying Allah, Azawajal. You're happy because it gives you a strong sense of will. You're overcoming your desires. You have the desire to eat and drink but you're saying no to yourself. You're saying no to your necks. You're overcoming yourself. This feels good. This is a sense of victory. This is a sense of joy. It will put your heart at rest. It will put you at peace. So if you're looking for inner peace and happiness, don't go too far away because in the month of Ramadhan while you're fasting, you will gain that inner peace that you've been looking for inshaAllah.
