018 – The Virtue of Knowledge


TheRawha_icon

In this episode, Shaykh Faraz Rabbani covers some verses and hadiths on the virtues of knowledge from Imam Nawawi’s Gardens of the Righteous (Riyad al-Salihin). He looks at Chapter 241: Chapter on the Virtue of Knowledge in Learning It and in Teaching it for the Sake of Allah. This is covered to supplement Imam Zarnuji’s Guidance for Seekers of Knowledge Regarding the Ways of Seeking Knowledge (Ta`lim al-Muta`allim Turuq al-Ta`allum). 

A translation of Chapter 241 of Imam Nawawi’s Gardens of the Righteous (Riyad al-Salihin) by Aisha Bewley could be found here: http://bewley.virtualave.net/riyad7.html#ilm .

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).

We will be beginning with the first set, 40 Sacred Hadith (hadith qudsi).

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.
