At a Texas youth retreat with the theme of striving for excellence, Siraj Wahhaj instructs high school and college students about the most important aspect of their being, the heart. He encourages the young Muslim audience to strive for success by being well-rounded individuals with a foundation firmly rooted in the spiritual aspect of themselves. What exactly is the heart? What is the nature of the heart? And how does one protect the heart? In discussing the significant role the heart plays in the life of the believer, the imam also explores the related issues of listening to music, lowering the gaze, and the sin of fornication. A great talk for any Muslim, especially teenagers, seeking to increase their faith, spirituality and respect for Allah. Other topics discussed: the dangers of complacency, guarding the eyes and ears, helping those who are straying, "Islamic" music, Muslims in the music industry, and women reciting the Qur'an in the presence of men.
