Jewels of Qur'an Series: Qalb as described in the Qur'an

Shaykh Fadhlalla Haeri

This talk is a condensed presentation of key surah’s in the Qur’an. The Prophetic message of Unity is part of an evolution in life and consciousness culminating in the Adamic being that has the potential to encompass a spectrum of intelligence and awareness. This talk focuses on the heart as the spiritual organ or centre of the human being – the human heart that is the link between the cosmic spirit and the terrestrial world. Shaykh Fadhlalla presents key indications relevant to human composition, and the diverse states and conditions of the heart as human beings move along the path of growth, evolvement and purification. The key to wholeness, fulfillment is a heart firmly connected to its spiritual essence. The four major states of the heart and the primary sickness and confusions that afflict human beings are delineated. In the legacy of all the prophetic beings, the path of grooming and awakening is the purification of the heart which culminates in the ‘Qalban Salim’ fulfilled, tranquil heart. Shaykh Fadhlalla delineates the qur’anic road map towards inner contentment and fulfillment highlighting the pitfalls and challenges relevant to human vices, distractions, hypocrisy and the restless nature of the ego self.
