In this episode, Shaykh Faraz Rabbani covers hadiths twenty nine, thirty and thirty one from Imam Nabahani’s hadiths on the Praise Of Allah. The first two hadiths inform us that Allah is as the servant thinks of Him, and that if the servant draws near to Allah, He brings them multiple times closer. The third hadith highlights the great status of those that love each other for Allah’s sake. Then Shaykh Faraz explains some of the intentions of seeking knowledge.
(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).
