Series 2 ; 8⁄8 I The Root Cause of Negative Suffering Shk Khalil Jaffer

In this monologue podcast, Shaykh Khalil Jaffer discusses the root cause of negative suffering and how to overcome it through awareness, presence, and the remembrance of Allah (Zikr). He emphasizes the importance of knowing oneself and dissolving the ego (nafs) to allow Allah to work through a person. The Shaykh explains that true purpose lies in awakening and surrendering to Allah, achieved by separating thinking from awareness and purifying the heart of attachments. He highlights that suffering can be an opportunity for spiritual growth if embraced consciously, and that the ultimate goal is to reach a state of constant awareness of Allah's presence, reflecting His attributes like a mirror. The Shaykh concludes that focusing on Allah and doing His dhikr is the solution to negative suffering, as it brings peace and tranquility to the heart.
