Healing is Believing- Episode 18 "Accepting the Testing"

The Divine Clinic Foundation- Healing is Believing

Just launched our 18th Divine Clinic Foundation podcast series and today we discuss with QW and Imam Saab “Accepting the Testing.” While Ramadan has come and gone and leaves the essence for the Muslim ummah to self reflect that through unity we can truly keep our lower selves in check. There are certain conditions for believers who practice Ramadan is more than an exoteric ritual. It is about forming a connection to God and there is a spiritual element which brings people together during the 30 days. It is a month where God has given his mercy to work together as a community. It is through working together as a community peace and kinship is restored, repaired and revived. Ramadan plays a factor in ones life to keep a clean heart, a clean tongue, sincerity and these are elements that God judges as elements of a true believer. The benefit of having a righteous guide brings to life the inner teachings and wisdom for one to look within themselves. Part of God’s testing is to learn from our mistakes for example if you are doing something in your work life or personal life it is about reflecting to see what will work and then to seek God’s mercy to transcend for guidance to what was always there. This is why it is very important to have a guide such as the wali -awliya (friends of God) in understanding the mystical aspect of Islam and understand when Ramadan ends the real Ramadan begins. We have to understand Ramadan is about building of character. Character is what builds a human being. Surely, God is aware of your intentions at all time. It is depending on the intention if your opportunity will come through. The spiritual world and connection to God is very special, sacred, and treated with a great level of respect. For those people after Ramadan go back to bad speaking of others takes one away from worship to God. If you understand Prophet Isa - is a member of a divine group of prophets he was bringing people back to the true message of belief . At that time the scholars were corrupt- when we look at his life and that he was offered by Satan if he stopped spreading the word of God- he would be offered seven kingdoms. Jesus knew already he had access to the greatest gift. Basically, the mindset needs to be changed and see every test is an opportunity and intention to get one step closer to God to righteousness and in return life will become easier. We see athletes do intermittent fasting and great scientific proof in the medical industry fasting helps the physical body on an exoteric perspective as physical purification. Likewise if one prays and reads holy scriptures does not necessarily make you a better person. The key element is that the lower self of a man is the spiritual state one has to overcome is the biggest test to humanity. The divine cleanse offered at the Divine Clinic Foundation is not for everybody because it is such a pure blessing for it gets one to the pinnacle of unequivocal truth. Truly the ones who appreciate it are the ones who are in extreme negativity and seekers of divine intervention. The intercessor is the purified vessel that can uplift the negative energy and gives one a higher level of energy and higher consciousness surely exists coming from a high spiritual station because they have the wisdom directly from God. We need to understand the true essence of Islam is lost today for we are regurgitating the same information. The deeper spiritual context of these months needs to be looked at as Ramadan changing your character. We should be emulating the lessons of Prophets in the Holy books and it is by Gods favor he has placed the likes of Noah to Yusuf in the Holy books as characters to emulate. When we talk about forgiveness and see the story of Prophet Yusuf (PBUH) who was left for dead by his brothers due to the jealousy for his love he had for his father and he was tested and then later forgives his brothers - shows how God almighty is aware of your daily intentions.
