Video: Seekers Monthly Training: Service with Excellence – Shaykh Faraz Rabbani – January 2012
[Saturday, January 28, 2012] In the monthly Seekers Training Session, for SeekersHub & SeekersGuidance team members, Shaykh Faraz Rabbani mentions some of the characteristics of strong believers, from the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him).
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “The strong believer is better and more beloved to Allah than the weak believer, though there is good in both,” and then explained the characteristics of the strong believer: “Be avid for all that benefits; rely on Allah; and don’t deem yourself incapable…”
Shaykh Faraz explains what is means to be a “strong believer;” what it means to “be avid for all that benefits;” and the concern underlying seeking knowledge and our service & activism. The significance of societal obligations (fard kifaya) and how they are both more important and greater in reward than personal obligations (fard `ayn).
