In this lesson, Shaykh Faraz describes the social duty of removing harm for people and how to apply it in our lives.

The Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) said, “Remove harm from the path of people.” [Muslim]

Steps in the Path of Love of the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace): [8] Exalting the Parents of the Prophet

In this podcast, Ustadh Hatim discusses the opinion of the majority of scholars on the survival of the parents of the Prophet - Allah bless him and give him peace. People of the Period, including ‘Amina and Abdullah, will not be punished according to the Quran because no messenger was sent to them. Believing otherwise, Ustadh Hatim explains, not only contradicts the opinion of the majority of scholars, but also shows lack of Adab towards the Prophet - Allah bless him and give him peace, and thus deprives one of true love for him- Allah bless him and give him peace. A true lover of the Prophet- Allah bless him and give him peace- sees his parents just as he described them in authentic narrations; they were surely the best and purest of people of their time and they gave birth to the best of creation- Allah bless him and give him peace.

Thankfulness to Allah - from Imam Ghazali’s al-Arba’in fi Usul al-Din - Shaykh Faraz Rabbani

In this Islamcast, Shaykh Faraz Rabbani discusses the Qur’anic concept of shukr (thankfulness), the fifth principle described in Imam Ghazali’s work “al-Arba’in fi Usul al-Din.”

“And very few of my slaves are truly thankful.” (Qur’an 34:13)

“If you are thankful, We will indeed grant you increase.” (Qur’an 14: 7)

When asked why he would pray so long at night that his feet would swell, the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) responded, “Should I not be a thankful servant?” (Sahih Bukhari)

Steps in the Path of Love of the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace): [9] Sowing the Seeds of Love!



In this episode, Ustadh Hatim talks about instilling the love of the Prophet - Allah bless him and give him peace- into the hearts of our children. It is the responsibility of parents living in the West, he explains, to study the seerah and narrate its beautiful stories to their children. Our youth are attached to celebrities and cartoon characters because they know little about anyone else. Let’s change the trend in the Umma. Let’s raise children who will outstrip us in their love and attachment to Islam. Children love stories. Let’s tell them real, Prophetic stories and there will come a day when we see the fruits of our efforts.

“Getting Married” – Muslim Perspectives Radio Show Interviews Shaykh Faraz Rabbani

http://seekersguidan...h-faraz-rabbani

Shaykh Faraz Rabbani, Educational Director of SeekersGuidance and Michelle Yeung, Program Manager for SeekersSeminars joined Muslim Perspectives host Alim Ali on Sunday, May 16th to discuss the process of getting married in Islam, and the upcoming seminar, Getting Married: Clear and Practical Guidance for Success, to be held in Toronto on Saturday May 22nd.

This is the first opportunity for Toronto audiences to participate in the Getting Married seminar, which has seen several successful offerings in the U.S., most recently in Maryland.

Shaykh Faraz reminded listeners that marriage is half one’s religion, and that for marriage to succeed couples must have a sense of the higher, spiritual purpose of marriage. He added that the usual challenges of marriage are compounded for Muslims, who often contend with the demands of culture and of balancing multiple identities.
Islam offers us solutions to these challenges through the beautiful example of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), who said that “The believers who are most perfect in faith are those who are best in character. And the best of you are the best to their spouses–and I am the best of you to their spouses.” By examining his example, and exploring how to apply it in today’s context, the Toronto seminar will offer critical guidance not only for attendees planning on getting married, but also for married couples who hope to bring greater spiritual meaning into their marriage.

Shaykh Faraz went on to emphasize the crucial need for the guidance offered by the seminar for today’s Muslims. Many people are getting married without being ready for marriage, not understanding its true purpose and aim as a spiritual act or even such practical matters as how to find and choose a spouse. Michelle encouraged attendees to bring their own questions to the seminar. Because marriage is so individual a matter, there will be many opportunities to ask questions, including spaces for private Q and A.

Shaykh Faraz concluded by reminding listeners that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) described this world as a provision, and said that the best of its provisions is a righteous spouse. Provisions, Shaykh Faraz explained, are what one takes on a journey, and that the journey of the Believer is to Allah and one’s eternal standing in the hereafter.
