Ramadan a Month of Subtraction

Ramadan a Month of Subtraction

Author: Sheikh Muiz Bukhary April 29, 2021 Duration: 54:16
We usually think of happiness in a positive sense, meaning that by adding certain elements to our lives the state of happiness will be attained. And that might be money, possessions, knowledge, fame, recognition, friends, or whatever. But maybe we’ve been going about it all wrong. Happiness through subtraction rather than happiness through addition seems counterintuitive but especially in the context of feelings thoughts and emotions, sometimes it’s getting rid of the ones that are hurting us that causes happiness rather than adding the ones that could help us. It’s hard to feel free and light with a baggage weighing you down, and the case could be made that all of the things you are attempting to add to your life in order to be happy will just end up burdening you more.

In a world saturated with information, it can be difficult to find nourishment that truly sustains the inner self. Islam with Sheikh Muiz Bukhary offers a space for that essential nourishment, exploring how timeless Islamic principles provide clarity and strength for contemporary life.

You’ll hear thoughtful reflections on cultivating a resilient soul, a peaceful heart, and a sound mind, all grounded in Islamic wisdom. Rather than offering simplistic answers, these discussions invite deep consideration on how to actively feed your inner life with purpose and avoid the toxicity of a distracted age. It’s for anyone seeking a meaningful, grounded perspective amidst the noise, providing gentle guidance for integrating faith into everyday moments.
