Mirwaiz Umar Farooq delivers sermon

Srinagar, Mar 17: As part of the ongoing Ashra-e-Maghfirat of the holy month of Ramadhan, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq delivered a sermon at Masjid Rehmat, Lal Bazar, focusing on the concept of Nafs (the self) and its purification in light of Islamic teachings., a press release said.

Addressing the gathering, Mirwaiz emphasised that Ramadhan is a time for spiritual reflection, self-discipline, and seeking Allah’s mercy. He explained the different states of Nafs—Nafs-e-Ammarah (the commanding self), Nafs-e-Lawwama (the self-reproaching self), and Nafs-e-Mutmainnah (the contented self)—urging people to strive for self-purification through taqwa (God-consciousness), prayer, and repentance.

Mirwaiz said that controlling one’s desires and ego in the light of the Quran & Sunnah leads to inner peace and closeness to the Almighty. He urged the faithful to utilise this blessed month for introspection, repentance & strengthening their relationship with Allah.
