djembe drum and the mbira.

'The Science of Wayfaring'

In the second of the Heart Surgeon series on Islamic spirituality - entitled ‘The Science of Wayfaring’ - Shaykh Abdal Hakim reminds us that Islam is not just a fixed state of being, but a process of becoming. We are all returning to Allah - our aim must be that this is not just by the inevitable process of time, but that it becomes also a spiritual progress, by which Allah brings us ‘out of the shadows and into the light’.
