In Search of A Weeping Heart lecture 2⁄5 Shk Khalil Jaffer

Shk Khalil Jaffer delivers a religious lecture, continuing a discussion on seeking a weeping heart, elaborating on a riwayah about the gates of hell and the fate of sinners from the Ummah of Muhammad. He emphasizes the importance of weeping out of fear or love of Allah and contrasts worldly rewards with the rewards of the hereafter, cautioning against sacrificing the latter for the former. He explores the relationship between the mind and heart from both Islamic and scientific perspectives, referencing Dr. Paul Pearsall's "The Heart's Code" to argue that the heart, not the mind, is the essence of a person and the key to genuine understanding and connection, further illustrating this point with examples of heart transplant recipients exhibiting traits of their donors. The lecture concludes with a reflection on the tragedy of Karbala, focusing on the suffering of the women of Ahlul Bayt and an anecdote about Hind, the wife of Yazid, recognizing Zainab.
