TheRawha_icon

In this episode, Shaykh Faraz Rabbani Covers hadiths ten to twelve from Imam Nabahani’s set of hadiths on the virtues of the Qur’an and its recitation. Hadith ten tells us about the great virtue of both the quality and quantity of one’s recitation, such that on the Day of Judgement the person of the Qur’an will be told, “Recite and rise”. In hadith eleven, we learn about the relationship between recitation of the Qur’an and dutifulness to one’s parents, and that this is something that one should strive to make part of their intention. Hadith twelve informs us about the protection granted to one who contains the Qur’an; Shaykh Faraz explains that this “containing” entails that the container itself be pure. Shaykh Faraz then continues the section on venerating knowledge and its people from Imam Zarnuji’s “Instruction of the Student”. We learn about several etiquettes related to the writing of knowledge. In addition, we learn about the deep respect that one must have for their companion’s in seeking knowledge, the danger of envy in this affair, and how to overcome it.

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).

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.
