]]> Comment on Cleansing Your Spirit, or Just Your Conscience? Towards a Class Struggle Ramadhan by Fariah Chowdhury /cleansing-your-spirit-or-just-your-conscience-towards-a-class-struggle-ramadhan/#comment-80965 Fri, 19 Jun 2015 21:32:42 +0000 /?p=6805#comment-80965 Hi Noaman! First off, amazing article. It was the best thing I have read in a long time regarding the true spirit of Ramadan. I have been saying a lot of this stuff to friends and family for a long time – thank you for putting this piece together.

I had a question about one particular part of the article where you write:

“What’s more, these kinds of struggles have precedent in the Islamic tradition, in the Qur’an, Sunnah and struggles of pious people. But it is precisely these kinds of struggles that are not emphasized by most scholars these days.”

Do you have specific references from the Quran, Hadith or Sunnah that discuss these type of struggles? Just looking for some references here because whenever I say this to people, they are like “show me where it says that!” and then I have nothing specific to say. Let me knw if you can help! Thanks in advance :)

Fariah
