Fifth sermon in the series The Muhammadan Way.

Why can the heart be stirred by melodies and songs, yet remain unmoved by the words of Allah? This sermon reflects on how the sounds we fill our lives with can gradually train the heart to seek stimulation rather than reflection.

Drawing on the spiritual insights of Imam al-Wāsiṭī, the sermon explores how excessive attachment to music and rhythmic speech can weaken the heart’s receptivity to the Qur’an and veil it from the patience, humility, and certainty that divine revelation calls us to.
