Special Intensive Session: Tafsir of The Heart - The Heart As Defined By Its CreatorTBATopic:
Residing within the depths of our chests is a piece of flesh no bigger than the size of our fists. This hollow muscular organ is the very essence of our survival. Its rhythmic contractions circulate blood throughout our entire body. With 70 beats per minute, 100,000 beats per day, this organ is more than just a piece of flesh vital to our physical existence; it is the origin of our emotion. It defines our intentions for our actions, more importantly, it is the deciding factor for our eternal abode after it ceases to beat."The Day whereon neither wealth nor sons will avail, Except him who brings to Allah a clean heart" (Al Shu’ara-The Poets: 88-89)Instructors:
Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Faqih (AlMaghrib Institute)
Shaykh Ahmed Nizar Kobeisy (Islamic Learning Foundation)
Shaykh Mokhtar Maghraoui (Al-Mishkat Institute)
