Featuring QW, Imam Saab and Dr. Isa White Muhammed. Surely extraordinary gifts, powers and skills are granted in God’s wisdom and at God’s discretion.The divine cleanse comes in a form of a blessing through God’s vessel to give one a tasting of the favors reserved by God for His friends. When we talk about the Divine Cleanse it is about being a better person mentally, spiritually, physically and emotionally. For many of us- Muslims are presently practicing Ramadan. A month of fasting - is about to feel the suffering of previous Prophets and pure believers, to disciplining oneself and sacrificing to be a better being. The divine cleanse in conjunction with the water cleanse gives one a deeper understanding of Ramadan in terms of purification of the heart and brings about an appreciation through the depths of our soul by a true awakening and revival of the soul and reestablishes the connection to our Maker. For example, there are three stages in the Holy month of Ramadan broken down in 10 day cycles. The first cycle being mercy followed by forgiveness and then safety. To truly understand the essence of these cycles through the divine cleanse brings about a new body, a new thought as one goes through a spiritual metamorphosis. If we do not have the ingredients to remove the old and bring the new then what have we accomplished? The essence of the divine cleanse is to be a better being and to take on the spirit of believers for all of us are embraced with a spiritual essence. A lot of times we do things because people are doing it and from the exterior and it looks like one great big play but to those who experience the cleanse surely the practices brings purpose and deeper clarity as opposed to rituals that lack the essence. The service of the Divine Cleanse is being offered just like Prophet Muhammed (PBUH) offered a message and the Divine Cleanse is an offering too and also just like Jesus said 'you eat this and you will remember me, you will become a new person, worthy of my Father.” If we look around we must ask why are people looking sad doing Ramadan and or the frequent question being asked "how is your Ramadan?" What kind of question is truly that? If the individual represents a Ramadan in not doing so well- then what is the condition of the individual’s soul? Unfortunately, with the passage of time Ramadan has become a main stream commercialized month when it is truly a personal journey for a month of discipline.And in understanding the Islamic lunar calendar Ramadan yes annually brings a reality of blessing to the world (from people reading the same book, opening their fasts at the same time, there is no question to which Hadith are you reading as the beliefs are the same universally for Muslims this month). This shows the beauty of God and that how this has been laid down by the Prophet (PBUH) their family and the companions before -sacrificing their lives so that we can read the Holy scripture with comfort today in the world. The beauty of Ramadan represents that one should not be celebrating this fast just for one month but everyday. In understanding this essence we we look at the pious ones. For the pious one are fasting not only from the food but from the “fitnah” of the world and how it affects the soul. This month is a cause of deep inner reflection. Prophet Muhammed (PBUH) said, "one hour of conscious reflection of the Quran is more than seventy years of prayer” and those with lower level of understanding might take this extreme way of looking at things and not understanding the essence understood of reflection. We all know Prophet spent 20 years in the mountain and he brought the embodiment of perfection to the people and came to show the people we should not stop striving. Surely, the opening of the heart is how one can attain peace and not through fear. In understanding yourself you can understand the world. #spiritualcleanseistheantidote
