At the core of every challenge we face and every problem in the world lies a spiritual malady — a profound disquiet within, waiting to be healed. Islamic teachings emphasize the purification of the heart (qalb) not merely as a recommendation, but as an essential duty (fard ayn), critical to our spiritual and emotional health. Join us for a new class where we will cover:

- The Role of the Heart in Personal Governance: Delve into how the heart (qalb) shapes our thoughts, actions, and overall spiritual well-being.
- Traditional Methodologies of Tazkiya: Explore deeply the spiritual practices designed to purify the heart, rooted in centuries of Islamic wisdom.
- Identifying Spiritual Diseases: Understand the common spiritual ailments, such as envy, arrogance, anger, and heedlessness—and their impact on our lives.
- Tailored Remedies for Spiritual Healing: Learn specific, effective practices to alleviate these ailments and foster spiritual health.

Join Sidi Shahryar Abbasi every Wednesday at 7 p.m. virtually to dive into the popular text Purification of the Heart by Shaykh Hamza Yusuf.

We will also be covering Imam Al-Ghazali’s Ihya Ulum Al-Din (The Revival of the Religious Sciences), books 20-22.
