Assalamu Alaikum!

In honor of the blessed month of Ramadan, we invite you to join us for Lattes & Lit: Ramadan Edition. This Ramadan, we will be reading Purification of the Heart by Shaykh Hamza Yusuf as we explore how to cleanse our hearts of common spiritual diseases—during Ramadan and beyond.

Each session will focus on a shared theme drawn from multiple chapters, which is why the chapters have been grouped accordingly. Please read the assigned chapters before each session and come prepared with notes, reflections, and questions. Our discussions will include:

• A analysis of the selected chapters

• Relevant verses and surahs from the Qur’an that relate to these spiritual diseases and their cures

• Supporting hadiths
