Yasmin Mogahed - The Diseases of The Heart & Their Cures

About this lecture

In this lecture, Yasmin Mogahed explores the critical importance of the heart in Islam, drawing on Quranic verses and prophetic hadith to explain why spiritual purification must precede outward practice. She examines the root disease of *hubb ad-dunya* (love of this world) and how it gives rise to related diseases such as envy and arrogance, including the subtle but dangerous arrogance of self-righteousness. With compelling stories and practical reflection, she offers a path back to a sound heart — one attached to Allah above all else — as the true foundation for individual and communal transformation.
