Shaykh Faraz Rabbani explains lessons from the Year of Sorrow of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).

Contrary to some misunderstandings, the Sorrow of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was not of dejection or depression.

Rather, his Sorrow was the most beautiful of sorrow: a deep sense of awe and neediness to Allah; and deep care, concern, and mercy for people.

This beautiful Sorrow was rooted in faith and certitude; contentment and steadfastness and drove the Beloved Messenger of Allah (peace & blessings be upon him & his folk) to turn to Allah, and to spread mercy and good around him.

Treading the Path of Benefit- Shaykh Faraz Rabbani

In this podcast, Shaykh Yahya Rhodus begins by explaining that the prophetic mission is a living tradition and a lived reality. He goes on to give several examples of what is meant by a living tradition, a tradition that is about actions of the limbs and the heart.

Shaykh Yahya mentions that all believers should not forget the blessings of La ilaha ila Allah (There is no god but Allah) and the prophetic call. It is no other than a call to Allah Most High explains Shaykh Yahya. There are people who preserve this religious living tradition counsels Shaykh Yahya.

Shaykh Yahya ends with a reminder to embody and reflect on the prophetic guidance and teaching of the Prophet Muhammad (Allah bless him and give him peace).

The Prophet Muhammad’s (Allah bless him and give him peace) Living Tradition- Shaykh Yahya Rhodus

Almost a year has passed on this pandemic, and we are forced to stay at home in isolation. It is an opportunity for us to use this time to reflect and reconnect. In this week's Friday Reminder, Shaykh Jamal reminds us to reconnect with Allah The Glorified and Sublime ‎. To think where we are going in life and how are we getting there. He asks us to slow down and take our time. To observe what is around us.

He shares with us what he has learned through his daily walks, getting to see Allah's creation. We need to become more fruitful in life and get closer to Allah The Glorified and Sublime .‎ Our ultimate goal is to connect to Allah. So let us reconnect!

Shaykh Faraz Rabbani offers reflections on the Storming of the U.S. Capitol from a political perspective, but also from a spiritual one. The fragility of democratic institutions can serve to remind us of the fragility of our own hearts, and not to feed the dark forces encroaching on them.

Hearts Unguarded: Reflections on the Storming of the Capitol – Shaykh Faraz Rabbani

In these troubling times, we are forced to stay in self-isolation. This can be a blessing if we consider it as a spiritual retreat, a time for self-reflection. In this week's Friday Reminder, Ustadh Abdullah Misra reminds us that we need to use this time to come closer to Allah. He shares stories from the life of the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace), when he used to isolate himself in the Cave of Hira, even before his revelation.

He also used to do itikaf in Madina during Ramadan. Isolation can be a time of self-reflection, we can get out of these times, with a new outlook on life and a sense of appreciation for what Allah has given us. It is time to bond with our families and increase our quest for learning. At the same time, we have to look at the bright side of things and have faith in Allah that he will let us out of this. There is always light at the end of the tunnel as long as we keeping patience and solidarity with the community.
