The Rawha: Daily Guidance for Seekers with Shaykh Faraz Rabbani

In this episode, Shaykh Faraz covers hadiths nine and ten from Imam Nabahani’s hadiths on the Praise Of Allah. The hadiths tell us about how humans challenge Allah Most High by denying resurrection, attributing a son to Him, and cursing time. Then, Shaykh Faraz discusses how the knowledge of the states of the heart is obligatory.

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ encouraged us to strive for uprightness by seeking assistance in the early mornings, late afternoons (al-rawha), and something of the depths of the night. From this tradition, the scholars, early and recent, made it a habit to read texts of religious guidance, briefly, in the late afternoon (rawha) time, and often termed such readings their daily “rawha.” The term refers to the late afternoon, but also to a time of rest from worldly toils, and reinvigoration of one’s spirit.
