We’ve been discussing a lot of theory on this podcast: the importance of purifying the heart and the various diseases that it could have. But is it even possible to do that? What does it look like when a person successfully purifies his or her heart? In this episode, Ustadh Tabari presents us with one such “proof of concept” - the life of a famous Moroccan scholar Ibn Ajeeba. Find out how his upbringing and his studies led him to become the incredible man that he became in this first part of his biography.

17- A Proof of Concept: the Life of Ibn Ajeeba Part 2

“Successful indeed is the one who purifies their soul, and doomed is the one who corrupts it!”Qur’an 91:9-10 You have the potential to become a reflection of the Prophet’s ﷺ character. To go about your day aware that God sees everything that you do. But to get there requires work. It requires changing who you are inside to the point that it becomes visible on the outside. In this weekly podcast, Ustadh Tabari of the Tayba Foundation will show you how the Qur’an, the Prophet ﷺ, and the early Muslims teach us to go about this transformation. This series is being recorded live at a SoCal masjid being delivered to an audience of previously incarcerated Muslims returning to free society to start a new life. It’s a practical and inspiring class that any Muslim would find transformational.Ustadh Tabari is Tayba Foundation’s former incarcerated student and currently Reentry Manager at the San Bernardino office. He has studied the Islamic sciences with scholars in the US and abroad and holds an MA in Social Work.The course is based on Imam Maulud’s “Purification of the Heart” and its commentary by Muhammad Ibn Ahmad Al Khadim. Tayba Foundation is a US non-profit dedicated to providing incarcerated Muslims an Islamic education behind bars, critical life skills training, and reentry assistance after release.
