Beyond the confusion and cloud surrounding marriage, this course gives us beautiful clarity: Shaykh Faraz Rabbani covers 40 Hadiths of the Prophet Muhammad on (1) getting married, (2) how to choose a prospective spouse, and (3) upholding good character and sincerity in marriage.
Shaykh Faraz begins by covering the Prophetic encouragement for whomever is able to do so to get married. However, he also points out that marriage—while generally praiseworthy—is not obligatory or even always recommended.
Shaykh Faraz highlights that the basis for choosing in marriage is religion: other reasons could be secondary considerations. In addition, he explains that the indicator of faith is good character, as mentioned by the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in the hadith.
One of the points that Shaykh Faraz greatly emphasizes is the sincerity in marriage. He narrates the hadith of intention, one of the most important hadith about marriage. Anyone going into marriage should intend to seek Allah’s pleasure and closeness by getting married. All other reasons are means—not an end on their own.
Shaykh Faraz closes by discussing some of the challenges facing those getting married, such over-complicating weddings. He also warns against conducting private marriages. Finally, Shaykh Faraz provides some key advice, through the prophetic example, of best practices to uphold in a marriage.

Adoption is a neglected religious duty and an emphasized communal obligation. That all Muslims should be aware of, and work together to resolve the issue of lack of Muslims adopting.
Short Description
Despite the Prophet’s emphasis on the urgency and reward of adopting, many Muslims are wary of adoption. Many think that “adoption” is un-Islamic; that there are “too many issues” arising adopting; or that it is “way too difficult” to adopt. In this brief course, Shaykh Faraz shows how adopting is from the prophetic practice and how it is tied to one’s faith. Indeed, in adoption we find an example of love and care towards others—central values in Islam. The session ends with counsel on the practical aspect of adopting in the modern age. This is followed by a testimonial by a couple who chose to adopt highlighting the challenges and rewards along the way.

An exposé of some major angles of the aspect of change in the Quran, its various facets, results, and how Muslims are called to change themselves within and the world without.
What is change? How does change happen? The is the purpose of change? What are the spiritual and worldly keys to change—for the individual, for groups, for communities, and for believers?
In this first segment, Shaykh Faraz Rabbani explores by the idea of change by clarifying the key terms related to this concept. He looks at the scholarly definitions given by the ulema for (1) change (taghayyur), (2) changing (taghyir), (3) reform (islah), (4) corruption (ifsad), (5) justice (ʿadl), (6) excellence (ihsan), (7) rights (huquq), and responsibility (fard/wajib) and how these key concepts fit in to the Islamic idea of personal and social change.
In the Second part, Shaykh Faraz Rabbani begins by looking at Quran 6.52-53, where he explains the verse “Allah does not change a blessing He bestows upon a people until they change what they are upon.” Commenting next on a verse where a well-off people who met Allah’s favours with ingratitude were recompensed with hunger and fear (16.112), he explains that gratitude is a key to change, and outlines some practical steps for its deployment. Next Shaykh Faraz looks at the relation of striving and struggle with change, looking at two sets of verses of the Qur’an: “And those who struggle for Us, We will surely guide them along our ways,” (29:69) and “And by the human self and how He fashioned it, and inspired it to its corruption and its consciousness. Successful indeed is the one who purifies it. And a true failure is the one who corrupts it.” (91.7-10)
In the third part of this seminar, Shaykh Faraz looks at making change happen and key Prophetic guidance on change. He starts out by exploring the Prophet’s command to change any wrong one sees with one’s hand, one’s tongue, or, finally, one’s heart. Next, he looks on the hadith ”The strong better and more beloved to Allah than the weak believer,” and explores the idea of having true strength. Shaykh Faraz begins the final segment “The Prophetic Vision—Prophetic Silence and the End of Religion” by listing the five higher aims of the religion outlined by the ulema: preserving (1) religion, (2) life, (3) intellect, (4) property, and (5) honour. He sheds light on a hadith on the lengthy silence of the Prophet. He closes by looking at the end of religion—closeness through excellence—and how to find one’s pathways to closeness in one’s personal life, social life, work, and free time.
