"In this powerful khutbah, khateebah Heba Khan poses a unique question to the congregation when she asks us to consider the spiritual impact our bodies have on our souls, rather than the usual framework of looking at the soul's impact on the body. She reminds us that the relationship between body and soul is described as a ""marriage"" in the Qur'an. Finally, she meticulously unpacks the hadiths surrounding the Prophet Muhammad's (p) profound transformative experience when the purifying of his soul was described through the imagery of angels washing his heart. Be sure to listen to the Q&A to find out a special revelation about the man she speaks of in her khutbah! April 21st, 2017 at The Women's Mosque of America.
