Heartwork | Ustadh AbdelRahman Murphy
Roots opened in early 2018 as a community space, dedicated to providing a warm environment, facilitating great conversations, being accessible in space and in faith, and giving each member of our community a home-away-from-home. Our goal is to provide opportunities and experiences to supplement the Islamic institutions in the Dallas Fort-Worth area. Our efforts are under the guidance and mentorship of Qalam. We Aspire To Facilitate Spiritual And Social Spaces That Are Welcoming, Meaningful, And Nurturing, In The Spirit Of The Prophetic Community. The Prophetic practice of welcoming and embracing community is at the core of a safe space. We aspire to be a community that grows towards the ideals of our faith and spirituality together, while continuing to appreciate each of our experiences. Our philosophy is built upon the belief that spirituality prospers in the environment of social semi-sacred space and in the reflective state of individual worship.

This week’s session of Heartwork, we’ll be discussing the next passage in Surah Taha, starting at verse number 121.One of the many lessons we learn from the story of Adam, Hawa, and Shaytaan that no matter what mistake a person makes, Allah's forgiveness awaits them so long as they seek it.In this story, there is a profound "fork in the road" when Shaytaan whispers to Adam and Hawa to approach and eat from the tree: both parties had made mistakes, but while one gets cursed, the other is forgiven. What was the difference? Let's discuss through these verses tonight, at Heartwork.Every program we’re able to produce and upload for our community online is possible through the support of our sustainers.

Heartwork - Purification of the Heart: Ostentation/Showing Off (Riya)
Sunday May 19, 2024
Sunday May 19, 2024
Young Professionals: tonight we'll be discussing our second disease: showing off/ostentation (riyaa' in Arabic). Doing acts that are supposed to be virtuous and for Allah, but doing them for a reason that is not sincerely for Allah.This disease is one of the most challenging because of its ability to exist within the heart of a person completely undetected. There are moments, though, where the symptoms of this disease become abundantly apparent.How do we know if we're sincere? How do we fight our nafs in our effort to do things for Allah alone? How do we mitigate the effects of feeling riyaa' creeping up within us when we are doing something that should be for Allah alone?Every program we’re able to produce and upload for our community online is possible through the support of our sustainers.
