faith, soft and clean in character. However, there are diseases
of character which can affect the heart. The busy lives we live
in this modern age prevent us from spiritual progression. This course
aims to teach what has been stated in the Qur’an and Hadith about
the heart and its diseases. It will also address purification of the

---- Wassalaam 'alaikum wa rahmatullaah.

The blessed Prophet (peace be upon him) mentioned
that 'The believer who recites the Qur'an and applies
it is like the utrujja (fruit), whose smell is fragrant
and taste is sweet .' (Bukhari)

Utrujj is based upon the teachings of the above Hadith in
seeking to equip you with the sacred knowledge of Islam,
while simultaneously training you in it's implementation in
your daily lives. As a result of this dynamic approach your
personality should insh'Allah come to personify this
sacred knowledge.

The change this creates will be witnessed by those around you
as they smell the sweet fragrance of your good speech and taste
the sweetness of your exemplary actions. Such a change within
individuals is critical in realising our covenant with Allah and for the
spreading of Islam, especially here in the West.
