  • 135 – Praiseworthy Crying and Changing to the Better

    In this podcast Shaykh Faraz Rabbani continues the text, “Blameworthy Traits and Their Cure” (‘Uyub al-Nafs wa Mudawatuha) by Imam 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 explains how to cry for the right reason. Crying only benefits when it brings about change to the better. Be wary of religious discourse that is emotional only, and doesn't incur any change. The cure for a self that feels good by only crying and not changing to the better, is to be committed to change rather than crying and relaxing. Crying in sadness shouldn’t be a fleeting feeling. Crying should increase determination to change and regret for one's shortcomings. Shaykh Faraz answers the question "why does one cry?" A good reason for crying is to realize how one must be, and how one actually is, and feel that they are at loss from their goal. Cry with determination to change. It is important to learn how to cry. Crying in the right way is a sunnah.
    In the Rawha, Shaykh Faraz Rabbani will be covering Daily Guidance for Seekers. The text covered in this episode is Imam 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.

  • Surat al-Kahf: Keys of Faith – Shaykh Faraz Rabbani
    In this Friday sermon, Shaykh Faraz begins by reminding the believers that the first ten verses of Surat al-Kahf are a protection from the Dajjal as Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) has informed us. The verses are gifts of mercy, and each verse is a key to mercy. The sunna of the Prophet (peace and blessing be upon him) in its entirety is mercy, and following the sunna in preserving the first ten verses of Surat al-Kahf is a key to attain on to that mercy. It is a protection from the Dajjal. The Dajjal preys on weakness of faith and attacks those who have weak faith. In time of confusion hold fast to the Qur’an. One of the keys to faith is to make regular practice to recite the first ten verses of Surat al-Kahf. Surat al-Khahf  is a summation of faith and the lessons of Surat al-Kahf are summarized in the first ten verses. Shaykh Faraz ends the khutba by reminding the believers of the reward and merit of the month of Sha'ban.

  • 134 – Self Satisfaction 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 explains how to identify and cure self satisfaction. Self satisfaction is one of the greatest forms of ignorance. Shaykh Faraz goes on to mention that the stations of good are three: (1) salvation, (2) righteousness, and (3) excellence. Shaykh Faraz asks the question about being self satisfied: what do you intrinsically have to be satisfied about? The key to good is avoiding harm. The basis of taqwa is leaving sin. The basis of harm is heedlessness. Disobedience is in following sinful desires and whims, which causes one to disobey Allah inwardly and outwardly. Shaykh Faraz closes by mentioning that the three cures for self satisfaction: (1) traveling the way of guidance, (2) wholesome eating, and (3) striving to perfect taqwa.

  • Prophet Muhammad’s ﷺ Teaching on How to Praise and Thank Allah – Shaykh Faid Mohammed Said
    In Surat al-Fatiha the believer says "Praise be to Allah, Lord of all the worlds” this is teaching us how to thank Allah.

    In a hadith Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessing be upon him) said: “Praise be to Allah, as much as the number of all created things."

    "Praise be to Allah for as much as His creation in the heavens and earth, and as much as His books have counted."

    Shaykh Faid reminds the believers to keep praising and thanking Allah. Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessing be upon him) thanked Allah even when there was no food in his house. There is always something to praise and thank Allah Most High for.

  • 132 – The Restful Self and the Reproachful Self

    Shaykh Faraz continues the text, “Blameworthy Traits and Their Cure” (‘Uyub al-Nafs wa Mudawatuha) by Imam Abu  Abdulrahman al-Sulami (died 412 A.H.). This works deals with states of the self, and how to rid oneself from blameworthy traits. Shaykh Faraz starts by reminding us of the three types of self: (1) sinful self, (2) reproachful self, and (3) disciplined (restful) self. Imam Sulami starts with the restful self. One who has a restful self, is one who attained and retained certitude regarding their Lord, and are at rest regarding Allah’s promise. The restful self is certain of Allah’s promise. One who has reached that type of self, Allah gives them their books of deeds in their right hand on the Day of Judgement. This self is content with Allah’s promise, destiny, benefit and harm. This restful self has four characteristics, it : 1) attains pleasure, 2) obtains Divine pleasure, 3) attains Divine Love, 4) is honoured by beholding Allah in the hereafter. Then Shaykh Faraz starts talking about the reproachful self. He discusses how it goes between the good and the bad, reproaching itself when it falls in the bad. It doesn’t have sufficient patient with ease and distress. Patience begins with acceptance, and is required in both the good and the bad.
