UDL: The 5 Obligations for Building Ummah: The Self (Nafsa La Ammaratu)

“None of you [truly] believes until his impulses follow what I have brought.”

“Now, Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.) said, "None of you can believe until your inclination follows what I come to you with..." So, what is the connection? Your inclination, your inclinations are your spirits. Not one spirit, your spirits! Today I have a spirit to eat, tonight I'll have a spirit to sleep, in the morning I'll have a spirit to go somewhere. We've got a lot of spirits, don't we? We have got to train all of those spirits into obedience to the Will of God, When all those spirits conform in obedience to the Will of God. When all those spirits conform in obedience to the Will of God, then we are dominated by what - something from the "Ruuh" of God, from the Spirit of God. There are many ways to approach this, but this is one way. And I hope it's clear.” Imam W. D. Mohammed(ra)
