Illuminated Hearts

The Prophet ﷺ described the heart as the vessel through which faith, sincerity, and taqwa flow.  The collection of Riqāq traditions found in Mishkat al-Maṣabiḥ reminds us of the delicate balance between dunya and ākhirah, and the importance of keeping our hearts illuminated with humility, reflection, and love for Allah.

Join us for a spiritually uplifting evening as Mufti Abdul Rahman Waheed guides us through some of these timeless narrations, bringing light to the path of purification and sincerity.
