Kuraby Masjid, 29 November

In this session, we delve deeper into the thoughts that draw us closer to Allah, emphasising the importance of self-reflection, which Ibn Qayyim describes as the gateway to all goodness.

We then address the third entryway to sin: The utterances. Discover how the tongue can either elevate or destroy you.

As the Prophet ﷺ said: "Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day should speak good or remain silent."

In a society influenced by Western, it’s easy to fall into negative thought patterns that leave us feeling lost. However, spiritual transformation is deeply rooted in thoughts that prioritise contemplation of Allah’s Speech and His Signs.

So, how can we truly gain control of our thoughts? And how can we use our thoughts as a means of drawing closer to Allah? 🤲
