After a night of intense discussion, on a variety of topics including Dua Abu Hamza Thumali and stories of Jinn and humans, we awoke as usual, dreary eyed, for breakfast at 10am. Todays session with Sheikh Hilli focussed on willpower, what hinders it, and how we can strengthen it. It was a very interesting discussion since having strong willpower can really support spiritual development.

Day two began with dreary eyes, waking up at 5am for our first dose of spirituality. After each salaah we have been receiving short practical tips, with the first one of day 2 focussing on the importance of fajr time and the recitation of Quran.

Breakfast was served at 9.30am consisting of eggs, bread, cake and some very strong coffee, which was much needed. This was followed by a session with Sheikh Hilli who described the characteristics of people who have Qalbe Saleem, the tranquil heart.

A great Lesson in Islamic Ethics from our prophet (pbuh) and 6th imam (a.s).

Accounting is a characteristic found in human nature, irrespective of his country, ancestry, community or religion.  Man is always preoccupied about things that shall benefit or harm him, he is always worried about his future, his wealth, property and about other things.  His mind is always analysing his strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. Accounting is of various kinds. Generally, man takes an account of those things that are related to this temporary world. At such times, he forgets that there is someone else too, who is taking (his) account and whose rewards are everlasting. He is so absorbed in the accounting of this colourful and attractive world, that he has forgotten the terrifying accounting that shall take place in the grave or the impartial accounting of the Day of Mahshar. Man is busy in finding faults in others.
