Ramadan day 2: Real success comes from servitude, and your body needs servitude in Ramadan.

Most people are deluded into thinking real success is from acquiring material wealth. The facade of materialism only shows how no matter how many worldly possessions you have, you will never be satisfied. As the famous saying goes:

Money doesn't buy happiness, but everyone wants to find out for themselves.

I’m not talking about having enough money to meet your needs and some extra for fun, leisure, saving, investing, etc. I’m talking about unnecessary expenses that go beyond just wanting more:

They lead you away from Allah.

These wants will never satisfy, and in Ramadan, we learn that lesson each and everyday we’re fasting.

Let’s take the example of your body. The less we eat, the more our body heals itself. It doesn’t have to spend resources digesting, but can spend resources to heal and serve your body.

You can serve your body with less, and then use that body to serve Allah!

I’ve felt it myself, where the less I eat the better I feel because my pains and aches go away. Maybe the young ones won’t appreciate this as much, but you will one day.
