The Rawha: Daily Guidance for Seekers with Shaykh Faraz Rabbani

In this episode, Shaykh Faraz Rabbani covers hadiths thirty-five and thirty-six from Imam Nabahani's set of hadiths on the virtues of faith and submission. In hadith thirty-five, we learn about the state of faith of one who goes to the mosque regularly. Here, Shaykh Faraz explains the levels by which we may bear witness with respect to people. In hadith thirty-six, we learn about the connection between true, perfected faith and love of the Messenger (Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him), and Shaykh Faraz explains how this love can be tested. Shaykh Faraz then continues the section on The Beginning of Study, Its Amount, and Its Organization from Imam Zarnuji's "Instruction of the Student", where we continue to explore the methodologies of review, discussion, and mutual presentation.

In the Daily Rawha, Shaykh Faraz Rabbani will be covering Daily Guidance for Seekers, beginning with two texts:

(1) Imam Zarnuji’s Guidance for Seekers of Knowledge Regarding the Ways of Seeking Knowledge (Ta`lim al-Muta`allim Turuq al-Ta`allum); and

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

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 hadiths thirty-two, thirty-three, and thirty-four from Imam Nabahani's set of hadiths on the virtues of faith and submission. In hadith thirty-two, we learn about a particular pledge of allegiance given to the Prophet (Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him) to uphold faith broadly, and for certain acts specifically. In hadith thirty-three, we learn about the inviolability of one who affirms that there is no God but Allah, and disbelieves in that which is worshiped other than Allah. In hadith thirty-four, we learn that a Muslim is one whom other Muslims are safe from their tongue and their hand, and whom others trust with their lives and their wealth. Here, Shaykh Faraz explains that the word "Muslims" in the hadith, is an incidental specification and that non-Muslim rights are the same as Muslim rights, except in specific religious acts (ex. the specific method of the burial rites).

In this episode, Shaykh Faraz Rabbani covers hadiths thirty and thirty-one from Imam Nabahani's set of hadiths on the virtues of faith and submission. In hadith thirty, we learn that a companion asked the Prophet (Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him) to tell him something that he would not have to ask anyone after him, to which the Prophet (Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him) responded, "Say, 'I believe in Allah', then be upright". Shaykh Faraz explains that one definition of this uprightness is to soundly uphold Islam in one's actions - outwardly by one's actions being in accordance with the Divine command, and inwardly by upholding truthfulness and sincerity. In hadith thirty-one, we learn that anyone who prays our prayer, faces our qibla, and eats our ritual slaughter cannot be deemed a disbeliever - the implication of which is that we cannot deem anyone a disbeliever based on a technicality. Shaykh Faraz then continues the section on The Beginning of Study, Its Amount, and Its Organization from Imam Zarnuji's "Instruction of the Student", where we learn about three keys to study - review, discussion, and mutual presentation.

In this episode, Shaykh Faraz Rabbani covers hadiths twenty-seven, twenty-eight, and twenty-nine from Imam Nabahani's set of hadiths on the virtues of faith and submission. In hadith twenty-seven, we learn about the fate of the People of the Book who reject the message of Islam when it reaches them in sound manner. Hadith twenty-eight informs us about four matters whereby one is not a believer until one believes in them. Hadith twenty-nine informs us about how contentment with one's Lord, faith, and Prophet (Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him) lead one to experience the taste of faith.
