Human Beings Before Buildings – The Prophetic Legacy – Shaykh Walead Mosaad

In this khutba, Shaykh Walead Mosaad explains how the message of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessing be upon him) is for all times and places. The most important thing of one’s daily life is following the sunna. One of the main points of the sunna is to build great people. The prophetic message came to establish great people,  not just great institutions. What makes human beings great is that they a creation of Allah Most High. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessing be upon him) built the best of human being. He (peace and blessings be upon him) was sent to perfect noble character. One’s noble character should be manifest in one's dealings with those whom they spend the most time with (i.e. one’s family). A question all believers should ask themselves is when one is with their family, does there presence bring a smile to one’s family? Shaykh Walead ends by reminding the believers that when the companions were with the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) they  felt as though they were the most beloved by Him (peace and blessings be upon him).

Islamic Spirituality Explained – 01 – Introduction to Sufism and 1st Aphorism of Ibn At’illah (rebroadcast)

In this podcast Shaykh Walead Mosaad begins by defining some of the various definitions for tasawwuf (Islamic spirituality), and how the work of Ibn At'illah, The Hikam (aphorisms) is a book of the Muslim umma.  The heart of tasawwuf is actualizing tawheed, monotheism. Each aphorism builds on the previous one. Shaykh Walead explains the first aphorism: "From among the signs of dependance on one's actions, is the diminished hope on the occurrence of missteps.” One should not be depending on one’s own works, rather one should depend solely on Allah. Everything from Allah is a blessing whether one recognizes it or not. Actualizing tawheed is finding blessing in everything.   Checkout all of the SeekersHub podcasts by visiting http://seekershub.org/podcasts Help Seekershub build a Global Islamic Seminary and spread the light of guidance to millions around the world by supporting us through monthly donation by going to http://www.seekershub.org/donate – your donations are tax deductible in the US and Canada.

Shaykh Walead Mosaad continues looking at the fruits of faith, covering Harawi's Manazil al-Sa'irīn (Stations of the Wayfarers). In this session, he looks at the forth gateway of spiritual wayfaring, reverence. He starts by highlighting reverence in the three types of remembrance—Quran, ritual prayer, and glorification—before shedding light on the meaning of reverence itself. Shaykh Walead explains the three hierarchical levels (lowest to highest) of reverence mentioned in the work. They are: (1) humility to Allah's command, surrendering to His judgement, and cognizance of His gaze, (2) vigilance of the self's shortcomings, seeing others' favours on one, and inhaling the breeze of annihilation, and (3) maintaining the sanctity of the spiritual station upon an unveiling, purity from ostentation, and seeing all favour as from Allah.

Stations of the Wayfarers (Section 2: The Gateways) – 3: Concern – Shaykh Walead Mosaad

Shaykh Walead Mosaad continues looking at the fruits of faith, covering Imam Abdullah al-Ansari al-Harawi's Manazil al-Sa'irīn (Stations of the Wayfarers). In this lesson, he looks at the third gateway to spiritual wayfaring, concern (ishfaq), which, he says, resembles a combination between vigilance and compassion. Shaykh Walead looks at the three hierarchical levels of this compassionate vigilance mentioned by Imam Harawi in his work: (1) concern over the self lest it lend itself to recalcitrance, over action lest it become lost, and over others recognizing their excuses; (2) concern over time lest it be tainted by distraction, over the heart lest it be busied, and over certainty lest it be undercut by an intermediary function; and (3) concern which guards one's striving from conceit, spares one from entering into conflict, and helps one keep within Allah's limits. The session closes with a Q&A. --- This is part of the series presented in Ramadan 2018: “Stations of the Wayfarers: Fruits of the Branches of Faith.” In this seven-part series, Shaykh Walead Mosaad explores the fruits of the branches of faith, looking at the ten gateways to the paths of spiritual wayfaring found in the second section of Imam Harawi's Manazil al-Sa'irīn (Stations of the Wayfarers).   Help SeekersHub build a Global Islamic Seminary and spread the light of guidance to millions around the world by supporting us through monthly donation by going to http://www.seekershub.org/donate - your donations are tax deductible in the US and Canada

Shaykh Walead Mosaad continues exploring the fruits of the branches of faith, covering Harawi's Manazil al-Sa'irīn (Stations of the Wayfarers). He begins looking at the first two gateways of wayfaring mentioned in the text, grief and fear. He explores the three hierarchical levels of grief: (1) over negligence in devotion, alienation, and lost days, (2) over dispersion, being busied from witnessing, and being consoled, and (3) over being saddened by obstacles, that which blocks one's intentions, and over objections against Allah's command. Next, Shaykh Walead looks at fear. He explains that only fear of Allah is legitimate, and explains what this fear means. Then he looks at the levels of fear, which are (1) fear of punishment and (2) fear of being deluded regarding one's station, while the elite do not have fear in this sense, only deep reverence and awe of the Divine.

Stations of the Wayfarers (Section 2: The Gateways) – 1: Introduction – Shaykh Walead Mosaad

Shaykh Walead Mosaad begins covering the second section from Imam Harawi's Manazil al-Sa'irīn (Stations of the Wayfarers). The second section is on the gateways that lead to the stations of the wayfarers. In this session, he introduces the path of wayfaring, where one rectifies one's internal states which motivate one's actions. This wayfaring is spiritual: forging a path against one's external and internal enemies. One's external enemies, he explains, are worldliness and the Devil, while one's worst enemy, the self (nafs), is internal. Shaykh Walead posits that knowing the Prophetic inner states and ranks is part of knowing the sunna, contending that inner cultivation is the heart of the faith. Having covered the first section of Harawi's work during a previous visit, he closes by introducing its second section, on the gateways taken to enter the various paths of wayfaring.

The Enduring Legacy

Law. Edict. Fatwa. Islam is often associated with a set of rigid rules which must be followed or else. Of course, every faith lays down a code of conduct and a way of living, but what are rules without principles? What are laws without ethics? What is the letter without the spirit? Shaykh Walead Mosaad answers categorically: soulless. The legacy of the Prophet is ethics - his enduring legacy and a framework for positive living. Shaykh Walead's call to unite with all people on the basis of shared ethics and common values is a compelling call to action and timely reminder of what faith is all about.

The Force of Faith

Everybody seems to be looking out for number one. Narcissism. Consumerism. The Me Generation. But we all know great things never came from people who were just concerned about themselves or their little patch of ground. The true force for change is service. Service to others. Service to community. Service because we can be greater and more blessed than we are. It's a force of faith. In this timely message, Shaykh Walead Mosaad explores the spiritual roots of service and the Prophetic call that should ignite a new generation into action. Government's can talk "big society", people of faith do it and make real change happen. Our thanks to The Radical Middle Way for this recording.
