Tentang kursus ini
The pursuit of spiritual perfection relies heavily on a believer’s ability to recognize and avoid the spiritual traps that undermine faith. Building upon the foundation laid in the first part of this series, this second volume continues the exploration of moral science ('ilm al-akhlaq), offering essential guidance for anyone dedicated to refining their inner self and securing salvation.
This volume delves further into the landmark ethical text, Greater Sins (Gunahan-e Kabira), authored by the renowned scholar and martyr, Ayatullah Sayyid 'Abdul Husayn Dastghayb al-Shirazi (r). Known for his transformative teachings in the Hawza of Shiraz, Ayatullah Dastghayb mapped out the spiritual pitfalls that threaten human morality. This course examines the remaining categories of major transgressions, detailing their specific consequences on the soul and the remedies needed to overcome them.
Authored as a contemporary commentary by Sheikh Mateen Charbonneau, this course translates traditional ethical wisdom into clear, actionable insights for modern seekers. It emphasizes the practical application of Taqwa (God-consciousness and restraint), demonstrating that true spiritual progress requires both avoiding harmful deeds and actively guarding the heart against inner corruption.
Through an analysis of authentic Hadith and Qur'anic verses, students will explore how specific sins damage a believer's relationship with Allah, nullify past acts of worship, and obstruct spiritual growth. Crucially, the course provides a practical roadmap for sincere repentance (Tawbah), guiding students from spiritual darkness into Divine forgiveness and grace.
Whether you are completing the two-part series or seeking a deep dive into advanced Islamic ethics, this course serves as an indispensable manual for self-reformation, helping you cultivate sincere piety, strengthen your reliance on Allah, and walk the path toward eternal success.
