  • 27- Repentance and Reflection-Spiritual Counsel- Wisdom on Turning to God from the Islamic Tradition -Shaykh Faraz Rabbani

    In the Spiritual Counsel podcast, SeekersGuidance founder Shaykh Faraz Rabbani covers great texts from the rich Islamic spiritual tradition on how to turn to Allah, to cultivate spiritual presence, acquire Prophetic character, and attain true virtue.

    The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave a tremendous amount of importance to the health of our hearts. Shaykh Faraz Rabbani continues reading and explaining Taj Al- Arus ( The Refinement of Souls) by Imam Ibn ‘Ata Illah al-Sakandari.

    In this podcast, Shaykh Faraz Rabbani describes how one attains all good through repentance and the one who doesn’t repent misses out on all good. The one who chooses to disobey Allah doesn’t know about Allah. Whoever is not vigilant about Allah doesn’t know of His rank. For those who don’t pause and reflect on the greatness of Allah, when their heart calls to the right guidance. These are the ones who truly miss out.
