Food for My Soul – Abdur Rahman’s Corner

Peace, one and all…

Beloved Dhu al-Nun al-Misri is reported to have said:

‘Remembrance of the mighty and glorious Lord is food for my soul, praising Him is wine for my soul, and shame before Him is clothing for my soul’.
Quoted in Attar’s Tazkerat al-Owliya

Ramadan is time to pause, a time to be reminded. It is a time to remember the true food of the soul, the remembrance of Allah Most High. It is a time to open the beautiful wine of praise, and thanksgiving. It is a time to reflect on our actions, and to return to Allah for our mistakes.

And our last prayer is in praise of Allah, Lord of all the Worlds
