In a society where many divorce faith from action, where people say one thing and then do another, and where there is a lack of harmony between belief and behavior, Surah Saff is as relevant as ever. The surah instructs Muslims to adopt genuineness and sincerity in their faith and to struggle with their lives in the cause of God. It is addressed to Muslims from three perspectives of faith: those with weak faith, those who entered Islam with a false profession of faith and those who were sincere in their faith.
This one day intensive will explore how a Muslim must demonstrate consistency between their conscience and their action, and how their appearance must not fundamentally differ from what they conceal within their hearts.
