Assalam o alaikum Members of ICNA and Marietta community
Food for thought:
Physical & Spiritual Discipline
Islam emphasized the institution of fasting as highly spiritual and moral discipline; both in motive and form ...
* In motive it demands purity of intention and honesty of purpose
* In form it demands abstention from engaging in any form of unlawful and improper conduct. One is required to control one's urges, conquer one's desires and thus to discipline one's self. With discipline comes true control and real inner power; the power to free one's self from the shackles of the base animal tendencies within our selves
Those who fast are also referred to in the Qur'an [Q9:112 & 66:5] as sa'ih (spiritual wayfarers). Fasting is indeed an exercise in pursuit of Divine blessing, Divine approval and an attempt at manifesting the best of ethical values and moral practices
As Ramadaan moves on, we need to perpetuate the positive spirit we have imbibed and continue on the spiritual journey towards fulfillment and excellence.

Brothers and sisters in islam we have been working hard to resolve the masjid property issue ICNA vs Marietta community. Insh-a-Allah soon you will receive facts gathered from our respected ICNA brothers and Marietta community members for you comparison. There is also good news that our local ICNA members who have some personal differences with the Marietta community member/membrs are now in the communication phase, may Allah bless us all with sincerity in all of our actions. Amin!
Please remember us in your special duas!
Wassalam
