Shafeesthoughts
The most important entity is the soul: “He who purifies it succeeds, and he who corrupts it fails” S Shams. In the Islamic conception and within this verse Zakah implies a growth towards what you were meant to be. And this is caused by sacrifice and giving. What I write here is both my sacrifice and my giving. May the Most Gracious accept it and bless me because of it. The opposite of the open growth of giving implied by “Zakah” is a closed regression into yourself because of a lack of faith. In order to continue my growth please feel free to Hit me up on Instagram by searching for Shafi Bachelani I’m willing to engage in any, and all, conversations and to continue my journey of learning. If you have a question to ask or an opinion to share, don’t hesitate to message me.
