Happiness in Servitude

[Main Hall]

Qur’anic Reflections

The Journey Home

The Qur’an is replete with descriptions of death and the afterlife, an effective means to jostle us out of forgetfulness of the ultimate Reality. A heart’s connection with the Afterlife lies at the root of a practical spirituality that can truly effect change for oneself and those around them.

Embodying Love of the Prophet ﷺ

“You are dearer to me than everything except my own self.” The relationship between God and the Messenger of God ﷺ was rooted in love, and the experience of knowing Allah through the door of love caused our Prophet ﷺ to be the beloved of God. The Qur’an directs us to establish a relationship with our Prophet ﷺ based on love, which in turn leads us to the Divine. How can this deep love be developed and expressed?

The Obstacles on the Way

Every path has its obstacles, some easy to recognize, others hidden. These are blind spots or distortions that prevent us from seeing the way clearly. Facilitating our path to God involves an active awareness of how we think, process information and engage our intellectual framework with the mores of the day.
