Islamic Lectures about the heart

For more than 19 years Professor Dr. Çınar is giving Islamic lectures (suhba) on essential topics of the heart which continue to enlighten.

Imam Naqshiband’s: “Our way is through suhba (the companionship)” divulges the instructions of our beloved Prophet (blessing and peace be upon him): “Religion is advice (or sincerity).”

For the past eighteen years, each Saturday, following the “Asr prayer,” the Islamic lectures continue. Compiled from the Holy Qur’an and Sunnah of the Prophet (pbuh), these Islamic lectures offer remedies for the spiritual diseases of the heart. Concepts are emphasized as the essence of tasawwuf: including the sincere worship of Allah, piety, good manners and propriety, sound morals, and service to humanity. Scientific interpretations are made and subsequently linked to the pure and sincere worship of Allah, highlighting the importance of unity between science and wisdom.

Believing that pleasure in this world and the Hereafter, is only attainable via unity between the mind and heart, and that only a mystical (tasawwuf) understanding that is removed from superstition, based on the Qur’an and the Sunnah is acceptable, Professor Dr. Çınar believes in a mysticism (tasawwuf) understanding according to its essence. With this spirit and understanding he continues giving “Islamic Lectures About The Heart” each week with deep love, and praise for Allah, aiming to reach those who seek to find their origin beyond worldly occupations and engagement, to gain the pleasure of Allah.
