  • Reflections and Lessons from the Hijra – Shaykh Amin Buxton
    In this khutba Shaykh Amin Buxton starts by reminding the believers that a new hijri year is upon us (1440 A.H.), and a new decade as well. One should take account from the past year and make intentions for the coming year. Hijra (migration) is not strange for the Muslims. He goes on to remind that all should reflect on the lessons to be learned from the hijra. The first hijra was from Makka to Abyssinia, where they went to a just king named Negus. Many of the beloved companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) made the first hijra to Abyssinia. Shaykh Amin goes on to remind the believers of the sacrifice of the hijra, after 13 years of oppression and struggle. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was given permission to make hijra to Madina, and was received by the Ansar (helpers). Shaykh Amin ends by reminding everyone of the spiritual meanings of hijra. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said that any one leaving the prohibited is making hijra. So we should all strive to attain a portion of the hijra by leaving and departing from sin.

  • 145 – Seeking Status Through Knowledge and Its Cure
    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  seeking status through one’s knowledge. This is connected to seeking knowledge for other than Allah. Sincerity is obligatory in acts of worship. The sin of showing off applies to seeking leadership. Envy turns into ill will and spite. Seeking worldly or material gains through something made to be done for the sake of Allah is destructive. Seeking leadership through knowledge, and being arrogant and boastful because of it, is seeking to impress others by it. There is a sacredness to knowledge. It will have a light if sought for Allah. Its reward is from Allah. This is the way of the prophets.The reality of knowledge is that it is a gift from Allah. Hold fast to humility and brokenness through knowledge and have a debt of gratitude.

  • The Atheist and the Fig – Shaykh Abdurrahim Reasat
    Belief in God is perfectly summarized by the statement 'There is no god except Allah'. In past times the prevalent trend of disbelief was a denial of 'except Allah', whereas in our times the mantra has become 'There is no god'.
    This sermon explores this trend and shows how the Qur'an directs believers to use deductive reasoning to establish that there IS a Creator, and that this is the only conclusion a sound intellect can lead to, no matter how fashionable Atheism may be. 
    The themes of proper reasoning, reflecting on the Qur'an, the Fitra - the default setting - of the human being are discussed here, before an analysis and call for reflection on Sura al-Tin (The Chapter of the Fig). The sura provides a very profound evaluation of human nature, revelation, prophecy, the Fitra and Allah's plan for humanity; all of which lead to the necessary conclusion of God's existence, and His wisdom-imbued plan for us all.

  • The Greatest People – Shaykh Faid Mohammed Said
    In this podcast, Shaykh Faid Mohammed Said begins by reminding us that many people saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) but didn’t see the light of prophethood within him. Many people praised  Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) but didn’t see this light. He (peace and blessings be upon him) was honored by Allah, raised in stations, and yet still had absolute humility. Shaykh Faid ends by mentioning the statement of Imam Shafi’i “ The best among Allah’s creation is someone who doesn’t see himself better than anyone, the greatest person doesn’t see himself or herself with neither virtue or honor".
