Re: The I-SOC (Islamic Society) (IV)(Original post by In2deep)
I missed suhoor this morning, woke up at 03:30. Today will be very hard considering I went to the gym after Asr yesterday and ate relatively lightly during Iftar. I was planning to eat the whole house for suhoor
Patience.
Poor you.
I started mine today. I woke up to the noise of some chavs shouting outside and ran outside my room to the hall and shouted out that nobody go downstairs. But nobody was there.
Then I went to sleep again until 10 minutes later, I received a text message from my brother to wake up.
Interesting suhoor!

There's hidden sweetness in the stomach's emptiness.
We are lutes, no more, no less.
If the sound box is stuffed full of anything, no music.
If the brain and belly are burning clean with fasting,
every moment a new song comes out of the fire.
- Rumi
Ramadhan Mubarak everyone

Re: The I-SOC (Islamic Society) (IV)Can I please ask everyone here to keep me in their prayers and dua's.
I am trying to become a better Muslim and remain close to Allah. In the past, I have neglected my prayers. But, Inshallah this Ramadhan and afterwards I intend to pray all 5 prayers every day. Inshallah. -

Re: The I-SOC (Islamic Society) (IV)“Ghazalis 10 benefits of Hunger -
1. The first is the purification of the heart, the illumination of the natural disposition and the sharpening of one`s insight.(According to Ghazali satiety(overeating) engenders stupidity and blindness in the heart).
2. The second benefit is a softness and purity of the heart, by which it is readied to attain the delight of intimate discourse with God and to be affected by His remembrance.
3. The third benefit lies in mortification and abasement, and the removal of exultation, rejoicing and exuberance, which comprise the beginning of rebellion and heedlessness.
4. The fourth benefit is that one comes never to forget God`s trials and torments, or those who are afflicted by them. For the man sated is liable to forget those people who are hungry, and to forget hunger itself.
5. The fifth and greatest benefit lies in the breaking of all one`s desires for sin and in achieving mastery over the soul which commands evil. According to Ghazali all sins originate in one`s desires and strength and when the source of that strength is cut off meaning one starts eating less then the desires become weak.
6. The sixth benefit consists in the repulsion of sleep and acquiring the ability to remain awake for long periods. A man who eats his fill will drink abundantly and whoever drinks abundantly will sleep abundantly also.
7. The seventh benefit is that lengthy acts of worship are made easier. (He goes on to explain how food makes one lazy and the time that is taken in eating and preparing the food can be spent in worshipping much more)
8. The eight benefit is the bodily health which results from eating little. Again simple and something we over-look way too much on how eating less is much healthier etc etc and saves us from various diseases.
9. The ninth benefit lies in reduced expenditure. Whoever becomes used to eating little will find a modest income sufficent, whereas a man who is habituated to eating his fill will find that his belly becomes a creditor impossible to shake off, who seizes him by the throat every day saying `What will you eat today`.
10. The tenth benefit is that the aspirant is enabled to put others before himself and to give in charity to the orphans and the poor that which is surplus to his wants.”

Re: Jinn storiesWasn't there another thread for this?
My friend has been to a few exorcisms and one he told me about was the guy who was possessed was possessed by an Arab jinn so he suddenly started to speak in Arabic
Another one was a woman that lived down the road to him, she would come up to his door and start saying his name in a creepy way. For example, to take my username: SClass, SClaaaaaas
That was pretty freaky.
