Renewal By The Book: Quran Tafsir Based on Imam Ghazali's Ihya episodes

  • 01 – Knowledge & Guidance-Renewal by the Book- Shaykh Faraz Rabbani

    In this re-broadcasted episode, Shaykh Faraz highlights the oft-repeated verse and supplication from Surat al-Fatiha, verse 6: (ٱهْدِنَا ٱلصِّرَٰطَ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمَ) – (Guide us to the straight path). Shaykh Faraz connects this verse with the first chapter of Imam Ghazali’s Ihya, the Book of Knowledge. He explains that one asks guidance towards what they seek. As believers, we seek Allah Most High. Imam Ghazali also defines beneficial knowledge as knowledge that guides one to Allah. Therefore from that aspect, asking for guidance entails asking for beneficial knowledge. Shaykh Faraz continues on to make more linkages between sought guidance and beneficial knowledge. Shaykh Faraz concludes by explaining why seeking guidance in all things entails seeking knowledge in all one’s life. In this series, Shaykh Faraz will be looking at points of reflection from key verses in the Quran. The series will follow the thematic order of Imam Ghazali’s Ihya Uloom al-Din (Renewing the Religious Knowledge). The aim is to connect the key verses of guidance from the Book of Allah with the blueprint of renewal, the Ihya, so that we experience is a renewal by The Book.

Many of us have become overwhelmed with the phenomenon of social media because of the sheer amount of content we are exposed to.
