  • A Day in Madina (Part 3) – Shaykh Faid Mohammed Said
    In this third part of the series A Day in Madina by Shaykh Faid, he begins by describing the night in Madina. When Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) came to Madina, he changed everything. This included the culture and people’s attitude toward one another. The people's understandings and perspective changed. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was always engaged in something. He (peace and blessings be upon him) never wasted his time, was always doing dhikr, reciting Qur’an, serving others, etc. He remembered Allah in all of his states. When Anas (Allah be pleased with him) was brought to serve the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he was in fact brought to learn from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Everything benefits from the mercy of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) transformed people. It was from prophetic concern that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) created brotherhood among the companions. Everyone wanted the honor of serving the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). It was from prophetic concern that he (peace and blessing be upon him) wanted to be a grateful servant.

  • 150 – Acting for Other than Allah and Sincerity in One’s Works
    In this podcast Shaykh Faraz Rabbani continues with the text, “Blameworthy Traits and Their Cure” (‘Uyub al-Nafs wa Mudawatuha) by Imam Abu Abdulrahman al-Sulami (died 412 A.H.). This work deals with states of the self, and how to rid oneself from blameworthy traits. In this episode Shaykh Faraz covers the blameworthy trait of seeking for people to know about one’s acts of worship. Showing off in acts of worship is sinful, and doing so in worldly matters is dangerous. It can lead to envy, greed, and thinking ill of others. The cure for one to act for other than Allah, is to know all benefit and harm is not found with people, rather is from Allah Most High. Showing off is to act for other than Allah. Sincerity is acting for the sake of Allah. The key is to be realized in La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah (there is no ability nor power except through Allah).

    In the Rawha, Shaykh Faraz Rabbani will be covering Daily Guidance for Seekers. The text covered in this episode is Imam Abu Abdulrahman al-Sulami’s “ Blameworthy Traits and Their Cure”(‘Uyub al-Nafs wa Mudawatuha).

    The texts in the Rawha will be read in Arabic, translated, and commented upon briefly. This class is of benefit both for committed students of knowledge—particularly given the reading in Arabic—and for those simply seeking daily guidance, reminders, and inspiration in learning to live the light of Prophetic guidance.

  • 149 – Five Keys for the Treatment of Blameworthy Traits
    In this podcast Shaykh Faraz Rabbani continues with the text, “Blameworthy Traits and Their Cure” (‘Uyub al-Nafs wa Mudawatuha) by Imam Abu Abdulrahman al-Sulami (died 412 A.H.). This work deals with states of the self, and how to rid oneself from blameworthy traits. In this episode Shaykh Faraz covers the general keys for the treatment of the blameworthy traits. Allah created human beings for the purpose of submitting to Allah. He placed in human beings the capacity to submit and the capacity to resist. Virtue is what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to perfect. Shaykh Faraz goes on explain how our imperfection is a gift, and a means to attain human perfection. The five keys for the treatment of blameworthy traits are: (1) to recognize its harm, which requires knowledge, (2) to know its opposite, (3) to shield the self with good company, (4) the remembrance of Allah, and (5) to be careful of what one eats.

  • A Day in Madina (Part 2) – Shaykh Faid Mohammed Said
    Shaykh Faid Mohammed Said begins this podcast by reminding the believers of the great blessing of the light of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). One should be thankful for the sending of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) began his day by using the miswak (tooth stick) then engaging in du’a (supplication). Another day is another opportunity to get closer to one’s Lord. Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) loved praising Allah. He would respond to the adhan of Bilal, and then make wudu after hearing the adhan. He (peace and blessings be upon him) would constantly make du’a. These are some of the daily prophetic practices Shaykh Faid mentions about Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) as he connected to Allah daily.

  • Retracing the Hijra (Part 3) – Shaykh Faid Mohammed Said
    Through the Hijra (migration) Allah supported the prophetic message. Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) called people to Allah because he loved them and wanted good for them. The people didn’t appreciate it. This rejection of the prophetic message was one of the causes to make hijra (migration). When the command came down to make hijra (migration). His first concern was to return things that belong to people that he was in possession of. After the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) planned to leave, the leaders of Quraysh planned to kill him. He took all the means to ward the harm of Quraysh, but relied upon Allah alone. He (peace and blessings be upon him) entered Madina with absolute humility. He built Madina physically and spirituality, encouraging love between one another. The greatest muhajir (emigrant) is the one who abandons everything that doesn’t please Allah.

  • 148 – Loving to Delve into Worldly Matters and Delving into Talking About People
    In this podcast Shaykh Faraz Rabbani continues the text, “Blameworthy Traits and Their Cure” (‘Uyub al-Nafs wa Mudawatuha) by Imam Abu Abdulrahman al-Sulami (died 412 A.H.). This work deals with states of the self, and how to rid oneself from blameworthy traits. In this episode Shaykh Faraz covers the blameworthy trait of loving to delve into world matters and delving into talking about people. This world doesn’t last, and it is the hereafter that truly lasts. One should busy oneself with constant remembrance of Allah. There is a danger in looking good in front of others instead of doing good. Showing off is very dangerous. Its cure is to know that creation can not benefit or harm ultimately. Without sincerity actions are dead. The reality of religion is sincerity.

    In the Rawha, Shaykh Faraz Rabbani will be covering Daily Guidance for Seekers. The text covered in this episode is Imam Abu Abdulrahman al-Sulami’s “ Blameworthy Traits and Their Cure”(‘Uyub al-Nafs wa Mudawatuha).
