    Fasting Beyond Hunger: Guarding Your Tongue Personally and Politically - Maulana Syed Muhammad Rizvi

    Friday Juma KhutbaFebruary 27th, 2026- One of the most important moral lessons of fasting is developing truthfulness and integrity in speech- Among the ten acts forbidden during fasting, most relate to physical desires, but falsely attributing lies to Allāh, the Prophets, or the Imāms holds unique spiritual severity- Truthfulness forms the foundation of human character and personal credibility- The Prophet Muhammad (ṣ) was known as aṣ-Ṣādiq and al-Amīn even before prophethood, showing that moral integrity precedes religious leadership- Truthfulness is required in family life, social relations, business dealings, and international agreements- Political hypocrisy and contradictory global policies are presented as modern examples of the consequences of dishonesty- Modern examples highlight the consequences of dishonesty, such as U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East under President Trump, particularly regarding Iran’s nuclear program- Trump claimed Iran’s nuclear program had been destroyed, despite repeated Iranian statements confirming they would never develop nuclear weapons- Qur’ānic verses warn against those who claim reform while spreading corruption unknowingly- Lying is always ḥarām, but lying about divine authorities invalidates the fast, highlighting the elevated status of truth- Ordinary lies weaken the spiritual value of fasting even if they do not nullify it- Imām aṣ-Ṣādiq (a) teaches that people should be judged by truthfulness and trustworthiness rather than outward worship alone- The status of Imām ʿAlī (a) near the Prophet (ṣ) was achieved through truthful speech and fulfillment of trusts- Supplications of the Imāms prioritize truthfulness and fulfilling trusts even before acts of worship- True followers are instructed to combine taqwā, struggle for Allah, honesty, and safeguarding trusts- Maintaining good relations with others and sincerity in conduct reflects the teachings brought by the Prophet (ṣ)- Fasting ultimately aims to reform moral character, with ṣidq serving as its central pillarDonate towards our programs today: https://jaffari.org/donate/Jaffari Community Centre (JCC Live)

    4- The True Purpose of Fasting in Ramadan: Beyond Food and Drink - Maulana Sayyid Muhammad Rizvi

    Monday February 23rd, 20266th Ramadhan 1447* Ramadan is an opportunity to move beyond mere abstention from food and drink toward true spiritual growth.* Fasting has three levels: basic (sawm al-batm), moral (sawm al-lisan), and spiritual (sawm al-qalb), each requiring deeper consciousness and self-discipline.* The ultimate purpose of fasting is to attain taqwa—God-consciousness that prevents sin and guides behavior.* Sincere intention (niyyat) determines eligibility for reward; basic compliance alone only prevents punishment.* Moral fasting emphasizes controlling the tongue, senses, and limbs to avoid sinful behavior.* Spiritual fasting focuses on maintaining constant awareness of Allah in all actions, even in daily work.* Acts like istighfar, prolonged sajda, and giving iftar amplify the spiritual benefits of Ramadan.* Improving akhlaq, showing kindness to family and employees, and charity are integral to higher-level fasting.* Reciting the Quran and sending salawat on the Prophet and Ahlul Bayt carry multiplied rewards in Ramadan.* Special nafila prayers at night can be performed according to Shia fiqh, avoiding bid‘ah, and intentions enhance their reward.* Ramadan is a time to connect daily actions to Allah, moving from ritual compliance to true spiritual growth.* Focusing on these levels of fasting ensures readiness for accountability on the Day of Qiyamah.* The talk emphasizes prayers for Shias’ protection, global peace, and the coming of the savior.* Awareness of the deeper dimensions of Ramadan encourages love for the Ahlul Bayt and following their example.* Even ordinary actions, when done with consciousness of Allah, gain immense spiritual reward.Donate towards our programs today: https://jaffari.org/donate/Jaffari Community Centre (JCC Live)
