Khalil Jaffer - In Search of A Weeping Heart (4/5)

A series of spiritually uplifting lectures based around the verse from the Quran, Chapter 9 Verse 82 which says "Then let them laugh a little: they will weep much, as the reward of what they used to earn"

In this lecture Khalil Jaffer touches on:
* What is it that hardens the heart and what is that softens the heart?
* Istighfar (repentance) vs. Sins
* Persistence in Sins
* Passive Sinning

Some inspiring quotes to take on board:
"If the heart is lost then everything else is lost"
"The heart is the essence that defines human being"
"There's a difference between the content of something and the container that holds that something"
"Do not think that anybody who receives knowledge is guided"
"Knowledge in itself does not always guide... it depends on the container that receives the knowledge"
"First step is to clean the container"
"Within every heart there's a battle taking place to win the heart"
"He wants Istighfar (repentance) with sincerity"
"If you look at a miser too much your heart becomes hard"
"Once you are secure then you can help others"
"The moment we ritualize Istighfar it doesn't work"
"We need to find a way to repent and turn to Allah without ritualizing it"

Amir Al Momineen Ali (pbuh) has said:
"Eyes will never become dry unless when hearts become hard and hearts do not become hard except because of excessive sins."
