In the religion, to withhold from specific things for a specific time period with specific conditions.

In this beneficial audio, Ustaadh Abu Iyaad Amjad Rafiq goes through a well-known hadeeth which highlights the importance of our intention when doing an action.

An example of the need for a Muslim to purify their intention is when seeking knowledge. The speaker mentions the methods and benefits of this as an encouraging reminder to the listener.

"Whoever aims to acquire knowledge all at once, it will leave him all at once. Rather knowledge should be acquired over the passage of days and nights"

Ibn Shihab Az-Zuhri

The above benefit is one of the many examples mentioned from Quran, The Sunnah and sayings of major scholars of Islam, all of which, if noted down or memorised by the listener and acted upon by them will be a source of goodness for them in shaa Allah.

He uses the concise explanation of Sheikh Saalih al Fawzaan to describe to the listener, the major objectives of:

1. Purifying your intention

2. Seeking Knowledge

3. Understanding the fundamentals of the shareeah

All of this is part of his series of classes which goes through the Forty Hadeeth of Imam An-Nawawi.

By listening this audio you can also hear the interesting story behind how and why the collection was compiled.

A Muslim will be tested in this world, will he follow Allah and His Messenger or will he follow his desires? This lecture deals with the sources of Islamic knowledge, where we should obtain our religion from and how to recognise those we should avoid. One of the early scholars said: "Indeed this knowledge is your religion. So look to whom you take your religion from"

From the wisdom of Allaah, the all wise and all knowing, was that He created Adam and Eve and placed them in Jannah. Allaah tested and trialled Adam and Eve in Jannah because they were created with the life of this world, a life that is a test to see if one will follow the Messengers, carrying out the commandments, staying away from the prohibitions, etc. Whilst in this life, there will be test and trials for the slaves.

The narrations telling us that there will be much differing after the Prophet Sallallaahu Alayhi Wa Sallam are many in number. The saved sect are clearly defined for us. Those who are upon what the Prophet and his companions were upon. So we must follow the Qur'an and the Sunnah of the Prophet with the understanding of the companions.

We do not make eloquent speech the criterion in determining who to take knowledge from.

The Prophet Sallallaahu Alayhi Wa Sallam said:

"A man is upon the religion of his close companion, so look to whom you take as a close companion"

Muhammad ibn Sireen:

"Indeed this knowledge is your religion. So look to whom you take your religion from"

In this Khutba, Ustaadh Rayaan explains the importance of a Muslim's stance towards hope, fear and repentance towards Allah Azza wa Jal. Hope, fear and repentance are to be carried out consecutively and not in isolation without one another. Some people only rely upon the hope of Allah and fall astray in this regard and likewise there are others that have the mentality that Allah Azza wa Jal will not forgive them, these false mentalities bring about failure within the Muslim. A must listen khutba!

Shaykh Muhammad bin Haadee:

"The one who speaks on this affair, it is a must upon him to look and ponder upon the statement of Allaah:

"O you who believe, why do you say that which you do not do?"

The first thing to be brought to account should be the Aqeedah (Creed), what is one's belief in their Lord? Allaah says:

"I did not create the Jinn and Mankind except to worship Me"

It is from the blessings of Allaah upon us that He gave us certain knowledge of why we are here today.

It is not uprightness to kill innocent people in the streets, this is not fighting in the path of Allaah nor uprightness. This is fighting in the path of Shaytaan, aiding the plan of Shaytaan.

We must also bring ourselves to account with regards to our company.

The Prophet Sallallaahu Alayhi Wa Sallam said:

"The man is upon the religion of his companion, so look to the one you take as a companion."

Listening to music, watching music videos, has an effect on the heart. To the extent that muslims, who have grown up in a muslim family, are rejecting the existence of a Creator!

Allaah has allowed you to live long enough for the Qur'an to reach us, both in Arabic, and its meanings in English.

Allaah says:

"Has the time not come for the believers that their hearts get affected with the reminder of Allaah?" 57:16

Fudayl Ibn Iyyaad, an Imaam of the Ummah, was from the second generation of the muslims. He was a highway robber, well known and feared amongst the people. To the extent that when a caravan would travel and reach the areas where he was known to lie in wait. They would stop the caravan and take a detour to avoid Fudayl. When it reached him that he was feared to this extent, by believers, he swore to leave this lifestyle. Before he made tawbah and returned, he had arranged to meet a woman. As he was about to reach her he heard someone reciting the ayah:

"Has the time not come for the believers that their hearts get affected with the reminder of Allaah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aalah?"

Upon hearing this, he replied "Of course, By Allaah!", then confined himself to the Haram in Makkah, and became a worshipper of Allaah, turning away from the dunya, he studied this religion and became an Imam of the Haram. When he became known as an Imam of the religion, the people of Madinah requested he came to them to teach the people. He would spend half a year teaching the people in Makkah and half a year teaching in Madinah. He became known as "The Imam of the Haramain".

And Much more in the lecture!
