The Art of Worship: How to Make the Most...

YAQEEN INSTITUTE
About this episode

Worship is an art. It is an art that every worshipper must master. Yet few ever do. Parents and preachers, shaykhs and masters, groups and spiritual orders, books and lessons all may play a role. But it is you who must learn to make your connection to God a thing of beauty. 

In this paper, Dr. Ovamir Anjum explores the art of worship and how to make the most of your Ramadan nights by seeking a deeper connection with Allah. Here are five practical tips on how to achieve this, and God-willing, have a successful and fulfilling Ramadan.
