Spiritual Dryness and Balance: Temperament on the Path to Allah

In this session (class 9) from our Miftāḥ Ṭarīq al-Muḥibbīn series, we unpack Imām al-Wāsiṭī’s deep insight into the spiritual consequences of excess fasting, hunger, and extreme asceticism. Far from glorifying burnout in worship, al-Wāsiṭī warns seekers about how going to extremes dries out the heart, making it rigid and unreceptive to the Qurʾān. We discuss the signs of a hardened heart, the importance of temperamental balance, and how spiritual states (aḥwāl) can become distorted when the body and soul are not nurtured wisely. Drawing from Qur’anic verses, hadith, and Sufi principles, we explore how excessive worship without balance can become a veil, not a vehicle, to divine nearness. 📚 Topics covered: Why too much fasting can lead to spiritual dryness Signs of imbalance in the heart and behavior The connection between physical health and spiritual perception Reflections from the Qurʾān, the Prophet ﷺ, and the early Sufis How to pursue true proximity to Allāh without burnout Follow along with the text, https://a.co/d/1HeTq8k
