📿 Sitting with the Prophet ﷺ: Exploring Hadith on Spiritual Growth 📿
Join Ustadha Kaltun Karani as we sit in the symbolic company of our Beloved Prophet ﷺ. Imagine listening as he ﷺ shares timeless words that shape the heart and draw us nearer to Allah. Gifted with concise yet profound speech, the Prophet ﷺ conveyed timeless truths in just a few words. In this course, we will slow down and reflect on selected hadith, exploring how they transform our hearts, refine our character, and guide us on the journey to Allah. Each hadith is an invitation to learn something new and become the kind of believer Allah calls us to be. 🤍
