The Rawha: Daily Guidance for Seekers with Shaykh Faraz Rabbani

In this episode, Shaykh Faraz Rabbani covers hadith twenty-six to twenty-eight from Imam Nabahani's eighth set of hadiths on the virtues of loving for the sake of Allah and hating for the sake of Allah. In the twenty-sixth hadith, we learn that believers are of deep concern and love for one another even if they are distant, and that corrupt people are treacherous towards one another even if they are close. The twenty-seventh hadith informs us that whoever visits a sick person or another for the sake of Allah, a caller in the heaven prays and supplicates for them. In the twenty-eighth hadith, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) tells us that whoever would be happy to find the sweetness of faith, then let them love another only for the sake of Allah. Finally, Shaykh Faraz continues the text, "Letter to a Disciple" by Imam Ghazali, where he highlights balanicing knowledge and worship. He counsels that knowledge alone is not enough, and that the seeker should have routines of worship.

(1)Imam Yusuf al-Nabahani’s beautiful collection of 40 sets of 40 Hadiths of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him); and

(2) Imam Ghazali's "Letter to a Disciple" on his comprehensive advice to the seeker of knowledge.

The texts 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.

In this episode, Shaykh Faraz Rabbani covers hadith twenty-two to twenty-five from Imam Nabahani’s eighth set of hadiths on the virtues of loving for the sake of Allah and hating for the sake of Allah. In the twenty-second hadith, we learn that it is praiseworthy to express love and tell those whom one loves that they love them. The twenty-third hadith informs us about people who will be resurrected in the hereafter with luminous faces, on podiums of pearls, they used to be from different nations and tribes, but gathered upon the remembrance of Allah. In the twenty-fourth hadith, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) tells us about the hidden nature of implicit and lesser form of associating partners with God (shirk), and that the least of that is for one to have love for something unjust and have hate for something just. The Prophet (peace be upon him) then asks: “is religion anything but loving for Allah and hating for Allah?”. The twenty-fifth hadith tells us that whoever loves for Allah’s sake, hates for Allah’s sake, give for Allah’s sake and holds back for Allah’s sake, has indeed perfected their qualities of faith.

The sixteenth hadith teaches us that the reality of faith is attained only after loving and hating for Allah’s sake.  In the seventeenth hadith, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) swears by three matters, one of which is that no one loves a group of people, except that Allah will make him among them.
