During the 10 days of Muharram, Dr. Shomali's lectures were focused on Hayate Tayyiba (Pleasant Life). Summary points of his lectures are given below:
- Have proper Akeeda (Belief) - read, learn, absorb and grow your understanding
- Aama'le Saleh (True Deeds) - perform all your wajib (obligatory) deeds first and then do the mustahab (voluntary) things
- Remember Allah (SWT) as much as possible
- Reduce the amount you talk/speak - this would also give you more focus in Salat (prayers)
- Reduce food intake (even Halal food) - do not overindulge
- Plan your sleep and adopt good sleeping habits - do not sleep when you should be awake and vice versa
- Take some private time for yourself so that you can spend time with Allah (SWT)
- Be a caring, loving person and offer this warmth to everyone, especially your fellow sisters and brothers in faith
