Allah’s Messenger (may Allah bless him and give him peace) said: "The true mujahid is the one who fights against his own self.” [Tirmidhi] 

Forty Hadith on Tazkiyyah is a transformative course that journeys deep into the heart of Islamic spirituality through forty carefully selected Prophetic hadith. More than just a study of character, this course unveils the essential path to inner purification (tazkiyyah) — a path that determines success or failure in this life and the next. With each hadith, you’ll discover not only timeless wisdom but also practical remedies for the spiritual diseases that cloud the heart: anger, envy, pride, hypocrisy, greed, and more.

Rooted in Qur’anic verses, Prophetic teachings, and insights from scholars like Imam al-Ghazali and Hasan al-Basri, the course illuminates the central role of the heart in faith. You’ll explore how cultivating noble character — patience, contentment, gratitude, sincerity, reliance on Allah — elevates the soul, earns Divine love, and draws you closer to the Prophet ﷺ on the Day of Judgment. Alongside deep reflection, you’ll be equipped with powerful duʿās, actionable tools, and a renewed commitment to embodying the beautiful traits Allah loves.

Whether you’re seeking a richer inner life, struggling with spiritual lows, or simply aiming to refine your akhlāq, this course offers a structured and authentic guide to reclaiming the light of the soul — through the words of the one sent to perfect character.
