About this Quote

This quote by Muqtada al Sadr talks to the concept of freedom through spiritual observance. He is suggesting that by adhering to spiritual guidelines, refraining from what is prohibited, and being thorough with our tasks, we can attain a sense of flexibility. This idea of freedom is not necessarily the same as the conventional definition of flexibility, which is typically associated with the ability to do whatever one desires without repercussion. Instead, al Sadr is recommending that liberty can be discovered in the practice of spiritual observance, and that by following spiritual guidelines, one can discover a sense of liberation. This idea of liberty is not just applicable to religious observance, however can likewise be used to other elements of life, such as work, relationships, and other commitments. By following guidelines and being diligent with our duties, we can discover a sense of liberty and freedom.
