Heart Therapy | Hadith 13 | Arrogance and the heart. by Bilal Elsakka

Light at the end of the tunnel. Sometimes, it's not about someone struggling reaching out, but you reaching in. Think of Surat ad-Duha (Ch. 93) as a Quranic antidepressant. It has 4 sections: 1. Allah swears that He is not upset with the Prophet. The first priority is the emotional state of the Prophet. Divine medicine is offered for that. 2. The lense of the Surah then shifts from the present at...

Step two, as that learning increases and deepens...

When Moses first speaks with God, he is shown a glimpse of God's power in two ways. First, with his staff. And second, with his hand. Then when God instructs him to go to Pharaoh due to his tyranny, he responds with a beautiful supplication, primarily focusing internally. In his supplication, he makes sure to ask God to assist him through his brother, Aaron. As strong as Moses was, both in his sta...

That is what it means to be like Jesus (Quran, 19:31). That is what it means to befriend the Quran. Can you start today, and take one baby step towards the Book of Allah? With self-love, kindness, and compassion? This b...
