- All humans have a struggle with their conscience and willpower, regardless of religion, or if they even follow one
- Fasting is an exercise which brings balance to this process
- Success and failure in the context of willpower and the soul
- Evaluate ourselves during the past month of Ramadhan. Was it effective?
- Extend this to the rest of our lives. How are we eating, dressing, earning, acting?
- What can we do to relieve the plight of the needy?
- Unity on Eid day
- Taking Ramadhan and Eid for granted
- Shia oppression in other Muslim countries


"Every human, whether they believe in God or not, have a religion or not, whatever values they have, they go through challenges. They know a time comes where temptation says yes, but another voice says no. Either it will say it's haram, or it's immoral or illegal. That tension is there. Ramadhan is there to bring that balance back in our life. It is that voice of conscience, willpower which will prevail over desires and emotions"

"Look at the past Ramadhan and evaluate what we have done. How much closer are we to God? Are we closer to the Qur'an to appreciate and understand it better? Has our attachment to Ali and his family increased?"

"Our joy and happiness of Eid have been dampened by the suffering of innocents. Israeli shelling in Gaza. Nigerian mothers whose daughters are missing. Iraqi citizens facing ISIS injustice. Pakistani Shias, unsure if they'll return home. Let our children think about their children. Let our women think about their women. And let our men think about their men."
