  • What Does it Mean to Love Allah and Love for Allah – Shaykh Faraz Rabbani
    In this khutbah, Shaykh Faraz Rabbani reminds the believers of what it means to love Allah and love for Allah. He highlights that the greatest quality a believer can strive to attain in their lives is the love of Allah. The highest praise Allah grants to a believer is to be beloved to Him. And the the highest quality a believer can have is to be beloved by Allah. Shaykh Faraz explains what love is, and what does love for Allah entail. He distinguishes between a servant obeying Allah, and a servant loving Allah. The highest motivation for a believer is to be beloved by Allah. Shaykh Faraz ends by explaining that Allah loves the one who takes all means for the love of Allah alone, while loving all else out of the love of Allah.

  • What Does it Mean to Seek Allah’s Forgiveness – Shaykh Faraz Rabbani
    In this khutbah, Shaykh Faraz Rabbani reminds the believers of the amazing gift the people of faith have been given, and that is the gift of seeking Allah’s forgiveness (istighfar). The prophet Muhammad (peace and blessing be upon him) would ask Allah for forgiveness 70 or sometimes 100 times in a single sitting. Shaykh Faraz goes on to explain why the Prophet (peace and blessing be upon him) would ask for forgiveness if he is divinely inspired and protected from error. He explains what (istighfar) seeking Allah’s forgiveness means. It is vaster than simply asking for forgiveness. It is shielding from harm, and warding off any harm. Engaging in (istighfar) seeking Allah's forgiveness, is asking Him to ward off all that is unbecoming, and to grant one all good qualities. He ends by reminding us that the focus in seeking forgiveness, is seeking divine help, and expressing neediness to Allah Most High.

  • Feed the People – Shaykh Faid Mohammed Said
    Bismillah-ir Rahman-ir Raheem

    When the Nur (sallallahu alayhi wasalam) entered Madinah, it was narrated by the lead Jewish Rabi of the city that Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasalam) said: “Spread peace, feed people and pray at night when others are asleep.”

    This past week in the UK has been one of the most extreme in terms of the cold weather conditions, and as such, although we complain of the cold whilst seated in warmth, we forget about our fellow community, who do not have the choice to complain, but rather have to survive and suffer through these conditions.

    As such, in trying to act upon the words of our Beloved (sallallahu alayhi wasalam), by spreading peace and comfort, feeding people and praying at night so we become a part of the Nur, The Nur Team were upon the streets of London on Sunday (4th March) evening as well as other organisations distributing food, hot drinks, and essential items to the needy. The purpose of this Deen is to serve the needy and to serve one another. Alhamdulillah more than 150 people were fed that evening.

    A mini documentary has been put together with a beautiful message given by Shaykh Faid and to also share the experience. “

    And We have not sent you other than as a Mercy to all the worlds.” (Surah Al-Anbya, 107)

    Be Mercy. Be Nur. Be Hope.

    Shaykh Faid Mohammed Said

    Watch and #ShareTheNur! Allahumma salli alaa Nur.

  • The Blessing of Knowledge: Counsel for Seekers of Knowledge – Shaykh Faid Mohammed Said
    Shaykh Faid Mohammed Said commends SeekersHub on the initiative they have taken to make knowledge available and accessible globally. He reminds students of knowledge of the great importance and blessing of knowledge.
    In the Qur'an knowledge comes before faith. One must remember that learning is a journey. The journey of seeking knowledge has no end. Therefore, seeking knowledge requires extra effort everyday, and focus. Shaykh Faid goes on to remind the students of knowledge in order for one to be successful, one must be consistent and leave distractions. There is nothing better to busy one's self with than seeking knowledge.
    He closes by counselling students that by putting in effort in seeking knowledge, facilitation and ease will come. He reminds everyone that it is a blessing to seek knowledge, and it is a blessing to serve those who are seeking knowledge as well. So we should all be appreciative and grateful for being able to seek knowledge for Allah’s sake.
