  • Feed the People – Shaykh Faid Mohammed Said
    Bismillah-ir Rahman-ir Raheem

    When the Nur (sallallahu alayhi wasalam) entered Madinah, it was narrated by the lead Jewish Rabi of the city that Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasalam) said: “Spread peace, feed people and pray at night when others are asleep.”

    This past week in the UK has been one of the most extreme in terms of the cold weather conditions, and as such, although we complain of the cold whilst seated in warmth, we forget about our fellow community, who do not have the choice to complain, but rather have to survive and suffer through these conditions.

    As such, in trying to act upon the words of our Beloved (sallallahu alayhi wasalam), by spreading peace and comfort, feeding people and praying at night so we become a part of the Nur, The Nur Team were upon the streets of London on Sunday (4th March) evening as well as other organisations distributing food, hot drinks, and essential items to the needy. The purpose of this Deen is to serve the needy and to serve one another. Alhamdulillah more than 150 people were fed that evening.

    A mini documentary has been put together with a beautiful message given by Shaykh Faid and to also share the experience. “

    And We have not sent you other than as a Mercy to all the worlds.” (Surah Al-Anbya, 107)

    Be Mercy. Be Nur. Be Hope.

    Shaykh Faid Mohammed Said

    Watch and #ShareTheNur! Allahumma salli alaa Nur.

  • The Blessing of Knowledge: Counsel for Seekers of Knowledge – Shaykh Faid Mohammed Said
    Shaykh Faid Mohammed Said commends SeekersHub on the initiative they have taken to make knowledge available and accessible globally. He reminds students of knowledge of the great importance and blessing of knowledge.
    In the Qur'an knowledge comes before faith. One must remember that learning is a journey. The journey of seeking knowledge has no end. Therefore, seeking knowledge requires extra effort everyday, and focus. Shaykh Faid goes on to remind the students of knowledge in order for one to be successful, one must be consistent and leave distractions. There is nothing better to busy one's self with than seeking knowledge.
    He closes by counselling students that by putting in effort in seeking knowledge, facilitation and ease will come. He reminds everyone that it is a blessing to seek knowledge, and it is a blessing to serve those who are seeking knowledge as well. So we should all be appreciative and grateful for being able to seek knowledge for Allah’s sake.

  • 128 – Beneficial Reminder for the Caller to Allah
    Shaykh Faraz continues the text, “Letter to a Disciple” by Imam Ghazali. He explains that the caller to Allah provides beneficial reminder by avoiding mere preaching. Rather, they have care and concern for the hereafter. They avoid inclining toward worldliness and showing off, which lead to heedlessness. He goes on to remind us to avoid the traps of mere preaching. This is done by having a clear purpose of who one is calling to, and why one is calling. Imam Ghazali reminds the preacher not to mix with the rulers unless there is a clear benefit or need.

  • Allah’s Light of Guidance is Unstoppable – Shaykh Faid Mohammed Said
    Bismillah-ir Rahman-ir Raheem

    “They want to extinguish the light of Allah with their mouths, but Allah will perfect His light, although the disbelievers dislike it.” (Surat As-Saf, 8)

    With all that we encounter in and around us in this world, we are often led to despair and we question and ask why.

    But do we really think that the Light of Allah (subhana wa ta'ala) can be affected by anyone or anything?

    Do we judge our condition by looking at those who are in power and despair when those in power are not righteous?

    We have to remember our Lord is Allah (subhana wa ta'ala)! The state of the real believer does not change no matter the situation, as they see the hidden Rahma of Allah (subhana wa ta'ala) everywhere, and they know there is a hikmah (wisdom) in everything.

    And if you truly want Him, you will find Him! Trust Allah (subhana wa ta'ala)! Listen and #ShareTheNur! Allahumma salli alaa Nur.

    Shaykh Faid Mohammed Said
