Quranic Explanation programme: The first 10 days and nights in the month of Dhu – Al – Hijjah are very blessed and we should try and make the most of these days. The Almighty Allah gives us opportunities again and again such as the Blessed Months of Ramadhaan, Dhu – Al – Hijjah, Muharram so that on the Day of Judgement we have no complaints or excuses as to why we didn’t worship The Almighty Allah. We should fast this Saturday 5th of November as this is the Day of Arafah and the reward of fasting on this day is the forgiveness of the sins of the past year and the coming year. Explanation of the Quranic Surah Al Fajr Verses 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.

Quranic Explanation programme: We should be organised and prepared in advance for any task we undertake. The death of Gaddafi. Oppression is very much hated by The Almighty Allah. When someone has committed a sin and that punishment (hadd) which has been given in the Shariah for that sin is given then that hadd that has come on him will purify him of that sin. We should always make tawbah (repentance). A believer (mumin) will one day succeed as he will enter Jannah. This imaan is so powerful that one day it will save you.  Explanation of the Quranic Surah Al Maarij Verses 19, 20, 21, 22, and 23.

Majlis programme: In this world we want the best of everything but when it comes to religion we are satisfied very easily. The aim of the Shaykh and the student is the pleasure of Allah. We must reveal our condition to the Shaykh regularly otherwise how will he know what our problems/illnesses are and how will he prescribe the remedies. We should not openly make others aware of our sins but we must tell the Shaykh our sins so he can prescribe a remedy to OVERCOME those sins and get rid of them in order to move forward and reach Allah. A true Shaykh will NEVER look down on his students nor share their secrets with others but rather he is there to HELP US AND MAKE DUA FOR US!

Quranic Explanation programme: Qurbani is a beautiful act and it is part of the Hajj. It is a remembrance of the sacrifice of Ibrahim (AS). How the Qurbani should be distributed and we shouldn’t be stingy regarding Qurbani. When you go for Hajj even though you are the guest of Allah think that you are also the slave of Allah so if anyone gives you any problem you won’t argue or fight back. We should try and read every salaah in the Harmain Shareef. Explanation of the Quranic Surah Al Maarij Verses 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18.

Majlis programme: The Shaykh should feel that this student is mine and the student should feel that this Shaykh is mine. This is known as munaasibat and is the first principle on the path of Tasawwuf/Sulook and without this the student cannot reach that special level.  The second principle is that the student should write to his Shaykh preferably every month to inform him of his spiritual condition whether it increases, decreases or stays the same as well as ask any questions he/she has.

Quranic Explanation programme: We are now in the season of Hajj and this journey of Hajj is for the Love of Allah. Each action required to be undertaken demonstrates and inculcates in our hearts the Love of Allah. We must be very careful and considerate about the rights of others and have good manners when on Hajj as this is something lacking amongst the Muslims. A sin that Muslims are involved in is the misuse of the eyes in this hot weather and it is for the reason we do not have that sweetness of Imaan. The reality and various stages of the Hellfire. We should ask Allah every day to save us from the Hellfire. Explanation of the Quranic Surah Al Hijr Verse 44 and Surah Al Maarij Verses 11, 12 , 13, 14 and 15.

Majlis programme: Many of the calamities we witness today are because of the SINS of Muslims. We should view these signs from The Almighty Allah as a reminder to change our lives and live according to Islam before death is upon us. One of the main rules (extremely important) when on the path of Tasawwuf/Sulook is to have unconditional love, confidence and trust in the Shaykh as he is the person whom we have chosen to help guide us in order to reach The Almighty Allah and this is lacking amongst the seekers today whether it be old or young.
