Khalil Jaffer delivers a religious discourse centered on cultivating a yearning for Allah, outlining two prerequisites: purging materialism and softening the heart. He details factors that harden the heart, such as persistent sin, disbelief, excessive indulgence in physical pleasures, prolonged hopes, neglecting the remembrance of death, and avoiding worship. Conversely, he explains that softening the heart involves remembering death, worshipping Allah, dressing modestly, feeding the poor, showing kindness to orphans, and crying out of love and fear of Allah. Jaffer emphasizes the importance of duas (supplications) in softening the heart, sharing a five-step approach used by the Ahlul Bayt in their duas, which includes praising Allah, acknowledging one's faults, expressing helplessness, and "blackmailing" Allah with unconditional love. He concludes with a story illustrating the importance of maintaining hope in Allah's mercy.
