You have to be very careful while you’re pregnant. You can’t smoke. You can’t drink alcohol. No beer. No wine. Especially not drugs. Everything you put in your body goes straight to the baby. If you smoke, it’s like giving a cigarette to your baby (Maria Full of Grace, dir. Joshua Marston, 2004).

How precious is a baby? What would you be prepared to sacrifice in order to protect yours? What about your spirit? If you knew something endangered it, would you change your life in order to keep it safe? They ask you about the Spirit. Say: “The Spirit is of my Lord’s command, and of knowledge you have been given but little” (Qur’an 17:85). The eyes and the ears are windows to your heart and doors to your spirit. Protect it by exercising caution about what you gaze at and to what you lend an ear so that you can return to the Beloved with a pure spirit.
