Purification of the Heart (24-tape Hamza Yusuf set)
From the back
cover.The suffering of the world is spoken of in terms of wars, starvation,
hatred, competition, and the struggle of the survivals of the fittest. Yet all
the suffering of the world originates in the human heart. Every crime committed,
every act of oppression, every callous cruelty, and every injustice to the self
or others emanates from the hearts of men. However, for every wrong wrought by
the human heart, a thousand acts of mercy have issued forth: every mother’s
love, every child’s forgiveness, every teacher’s care, and every father’s
concern for the well-being of his progeny-all have their source in the core of
human being, the human heart. If we are to right the world, we must first
rectify our hearts, and this is why every revelation has been granted to
humanity: to make firm our hearts.
The most oft-recited prayer of the blessed Prophet, peace and prayers be upon him, was “O Revolver of the hearts, make firm my heart upon the straight way.” In no equivocal terms, the Quran states, “On the day of Judgment, when neither wealth nor children will avail, only one who brings forth a sound heart.” A sound heart! The soundest of hearts was the heart of the messenger of Allah, peace and prayers be upon him, who through his purity and singularity of intention transformed the world. His teaching remains, and the challenge is for each of us to take it and with it transform our hearts and thereby the very world in which we now reside. Time is of the essence as the diseases of the heart, so prevalent among men now, threaten the very biosphere we have been commissioned to protect. Before you is a text that gives practical means and methods for transformation. Learn them, and use them, and then pass them on.
This 24-tape audio series is based on the twelve-week Purification of the Heart course that Shaikh Hamza Yusuf gave at the Islamic Study School in Hayward, California, in the Fall of 1998.
