The spiritual of the day: Fadilat Sheik Al-Imam Shuaib Issa Asinniobiwa, in his sermon, highlighted that worship, the purpose of creation, is all-encompassing, emphasizing the need for man to be focused, saying the world is full of distractions.
“Worship, however, is not restricted to five daily prayers and genuflections only. It is all-encompassing, as it covers righteousness and kindness to others. These and more are the scopes of worship, and that’s our main goal in life,” said the respected Islamic scholar.
Other speakers include Fadilat Sheik Abdul-Qudir Tantolohun, who also stressed that the world we live in these days is full of distractions, which tends to make us forget our primary assignment here, which is to serve Allah.
Sheikh Tantolohun, however, emphasized that the month of Ramadan represents an extraordinary opportunity for transformation across all areas of life for anyone aspiring to better themselves. He described Ramadan as a sacred period dedicated to strengthening one’s relationship with Allah, offering an ideal spiritual ambience that is seldom replicated in any other month.
