The Masters and the Millennials: Challenges in Living the Way of the Prophet

This podcast is based on al-Fawa’id al-Mukhtarah, one of the seminal works of the great scholar al-Habib Zayn bin Sumayt. 

In this episode, Shaykh Abdurragmaan Khan discusses the importance of prayer and the admonishment for the one who abandons prayer.  He explains how salah (prayer) is a sila (connection) between the slave and his Lord such that without prayer there is no connection between them.

Shaykh Abdurragmaan encourages diligence in prayer and emphasizes how prayer is even performed in illness and in the battlefield.  He discusses the grave consequences of the negligence of prayer and the harms of its abandonment.

The post 22- Admonishment for the Abandonment of Prayer – Master and the Millennials -Shaykh Abdurragmaan Khan appeared first on SeekersGuidance.

In this episode, Shaykh Abdurragmaan Khan continues in the text, covering the virtue of prayer. He explains how the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) was concerned with his relationship with Allah above all else, and the Journey of Isra’ and Mi’raj, where the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) meets Allah Most High, came as a result of his steadfastness and patience in the face of numerous hardships. The pure joy experienced in this state remained with our Prophet during his prayers. Prayer is our safe-haven in moments of sadness and grief, and we should always return to it. May Allah make our prayers the coolness of our eyes and the contentment of our hearts.

The post 21- Virtues and Importance of the Prayer -The Masters and Millennials: Challenges in Living the Way of the Prophet (peace and blessing be upon him)- Shaykh Abdurragmaan Khan appeared first on SeekersGuidance.

In this episode of Masters and Millennials, Shaykh Abdurragmaan Khan covers the virtues of the Call to Prayer (Adhan), the recommended times to sound it, and some of the rulings regarding it. He highlights how the Call to Prayer is a means to Allah’s pleasure, removing His anger, saving us from punishment, attracting good circumstances, and chasing Shaytan away. He encourages, as the scholars have, establishing as a practice, sounding the Call to Prayer on occasions other than for the daily prayer such as at the time of anger, when children are troubled by jinn, when a house is burning, and for safety when the traveler leaves his home. He also talks about some of the rulings regarding the Call to Prayer such as reciting it in our homes—especially now with many of us having to pray in our homes due to lockdown or restrictions—responding to the call of the one who calls to the prayer (mu’adhin) and the importance of the caller having a beautiful voice. He relates a touching incident where a young non-Muslim boy with a beautiful voice sought to mock the Holy Prophet (Allah bless him and grant him peace) by calling the adhan and who the Holy Prophet made one of his callers to prayer.

To end, Shaykh Abdurragmaan says that while many of us may consider these actions to be of little significance, they hold much weight and are the building blocks of what makes us followers of the Holy Prophet (Allah bless him and grant him peace). By making these practices a habit in our lives, eventually we will find that more of the Sunna of the Holy Prophet (Allah bless him and grant him peace) will be found within us and our homes.
