How to Cleanse Your Heart from Grudges and Negativity
Join us for Summer Suhba in person in Istanbul or online from anywhere in the world at https://www.almadina.org/summersuhba
Are you focusing only on the external aspects of your faith while neglecting the state of your heart? True spirituality goes beyond rituals and appearances to the very core of our internal character. In this session, we explore the profound concept of the Sunnah of the Heart and how it defines our existence as spiritual beings.
We also address the internal ailments that can hinder our spiritual growth, such as violent envy and the loss of modesty. In a modern world that often markets the removal of shame, maintaining our internal integrity becomes a form of resistance. We discuss how Salah can become an empty shell if it lacks heart and consciousness, and why we must exert ourselves to keep our worship meaningful.
