Its wide range leaves uncovered hardly any area of worldly and otherworldly concern, and a complete reading might well put before Allah just about everything one would need in both this life and the next. This work’s acceptance is plainly visible in the multitudes of devotees who recite it regularly around the world. A lot of attention has been paid to it, from commentaries and translations to abridgements and rearrangements. Though a number of illuminated copies exist in manuscript, no illuminated edition had become available in print. White Thread Press published an illuminated Arabic edition in 2015. For an important book of prayers such as this, illumination provides an aesthetic touch that pleases the eye and enhances the reader’s spiritual engagement with the text. The English Translation Since the publication of the original Arabic edition, public recitals (maqra’as) of the entire collection in a single sitting have been held in various cities around the world. These are usually followed by an authorisation ceremony for the attendees. It has inspired many people to become regular readers of the book. As readers have discovered the merits of this comprehensive litany, the demand had grown for an English translation to fully appreciate and understand the prayers. Therefore, White Thread Press now presents the collection in a bilingual edition, with the Arabic text and facing English translation in an easy to read and visually appealing format.

Al Ghazālī’s hierarchal classifications might sit uneasily with certain modern readers, however, who can dispute the Quran’s unambiguous classification of hierarchy, based on Taqwa (Quran 49:13). Al Ghazālī describes three classes of fasting: The fasting of the common people The fasting of the elect The fasting of the elect of the elect The following talk will focus on the fasting of the common people. Reading from Ghazali’s masterpiece Ihyā‘ ‘ulūm al-din (The chapter on the mysteries of fasting) the Shaykh goes through the two reasons of what makes fasting so special that Allah Most High has claimed this act of worship to belong to Him exclusively. As goes the famous prophetic tradition “Fasting is Mine and it is I who give reward for it…” (Hadeeth Qudsi) https://www.whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaDV1iu5a249gftHif0D

“You have not loved anything without being its slave, but He does not want you to be someone else’s slave”. Compared to other emotions, love is a feeling which makes a person totally selfless, emotionally humbled and dedicated to their object of affection.

"Do not seek recompense for a deed whose doer was not you. It suffices you as a recompense for the deed that He accepts it." Is it proper to ask Allah for reward after having done a good deed? The Shaykh discusses this in light of the above aphorisms.

Tough Questions from Teenagers Mufti Abdur-Rahman starts the talk off with some simple yet practical advice to both parents and children and then answer a series of difficult questions from teenagers that attended on the day.

"Whoever worships Him for something he hopes for from Him, or in order to stave off the arrival of chastisement, he has not concerned himself with the real nature of His Attributes". An intricate discussion in which the Shaykh explains three categories of people in how they worship Allah Most High, which group is the most superior and why. Furthermore, the Shaykh mentions what mindset one needs to develop to cultivate a pure, sincere, non selfish motive in worshiping Allah Most High.

"It suffices as a reward for the doers of good that He has inspired obedience to Him in their hearts and bought upon them the existence of His reciprocal intimacy" The following talk enhances ones understanding of the purpose of doing good deeds aside from the usual objectives sought; to gain reward and avoid punishment.

" Far be it for our Lord to repay us with credit the Servant who deals with Him in cash". How does Allah repay us in this world? Without doubt the doers of good have been promised reward and eternal bliss in the life to come. However, the benevolence and graciousness of Allah is not only restricted to the Hereafter. The Shaykh mentions the numerous ways Allah repays His believing righteous servants in this world.

Let not obedience make you joyous because it comes from you, rather, be joyous over it because it comes from God to you. "Say: In the grace of God and in His mercy, in that they should rejoice. It is better than that which they hoard". [Q.10:58] [Hikam 58] How to balance the feeling of joy when one carries out good deeds, all the while expressing gratitude and acknowledging Allah Most High is the enabler. The following talk gives an understanding on how to balance both these aspects.

A reminder for the seeker to keep sincere and self-examine their motives for spiritual success. "Travel not from creature to creature, otherwise you will be like a donkey at the mill: roundabout he turns, his goal the same as his departure. Rather, go from creatures to the Creator: "And that the final end is unto thy Lord." [Quran 53:42] "Therefore, he whose flight is for God and His Messenger, then his flight is for God and His Messenger; and he whose flight is for worldly gain or marriage with a woman, then his flight is for that which he flees to." So understand his words (upon him peace!) and ponder this matter, if you can. And peace on you!." (Hikam 42)

In recent decades many attacks have been launched against the concept of taqlid [following a school of Islamic law]. Opposition has ranged from being mild with degrees of acceptance to malicious attacks. Certain extreme elements have gone so far as to brand those who follow a madhhab [school] as mushrik [polytheist]. Much of the opposition has been a result of misunderstanding the realities of this concept.

"Actions are lifeless forms, but the presence of an inner reality of sincerity within them is what endows them with life-giving Spirit." (Hikam 10) The Shaykh discusses the nature and vitality of sincerity; the secret spirit which enlivens righteous deeds without which all would be void.

"Let no sin reach such proportions in your eyes that it cuts you off from having a good opinion of God, for, indeed, whoever knows his Lord considers his sin as paltry next to His generosity". (Hikam 49 Page 97) The Shaykh discusses the second part of the wisdom, the need for one to continue to have great hope in Allah Most High when overcome with the gloom of ones sins. The following quraanic verse is mentioned " Tell My Servants, I am the Most- Forgiving, the Very Merciful" (Surah Al Hijr: 49)

"Let no sin reach such proportions in your eyes that it cuts you off from having a good opinion of God, for, indeed, whoever knows his Lord considers his sin as paltry next to His generosity". (Hikam 49, Page 97) The heart in its journey to Allah wavers between hope and fear. The lecture mentions why it is important for the one beginning the spiritual journey to predominantly hold on to the rope of fear, whereas, the one who is in the midst to balance both fear and hope and finally, why hope should be the stronger companion for the one whose journeying to Allah is almost complete.

The following verse is covered in this talk: Or, (do you not know) the example of the one who passed through a town that had collapsed on its roofs. He said: “How shall Allah revive this after it is dead?” So, Allah made him dead for a hundred years, then raised him saying: “How long did you remain (in this state)?” He said: “I remained for a day or part of a day”. Said He: “Rather, you remained (dead) for a hundred years. Just look at your food and your drink; it has not spoiled. Now look at your donkey. (We did) this to make you a sign for people! Look at the bones, how We raise them, then dress them with flesh.” So, when it was clear to him, he said: “I know that Allah is Powerful over everything.” 2:259

How To Overcome Hatred by ZamZamAcademy

"He knew of the irresolution of servants in dealing with Him, so He made obedience to Him obligatory for them. Thus, He drove them to obedience with the chains of obligation. Your Lord is amazed at people who are driven to Paradise with chains!"

The 2022 FIFA World Cup is an international football tournament contested by the men's national teams of FIFA's member associations, and the 22nd FIFA World Cup. It is taking place in Qatar from 20 November to 18 December 2022, making it the first World Cup to be held in the Arab world and Muslim world, and the second held entirely in Asia after the 2002 tournament in South Korea and Japan. France are the defending champions, having defeated Croatia 4–2 in the 2018 final. At an estimated cost of over $220 billion, it is the most expensive World Cup ever held; this figure is disputed by Qatari officials, including organising CEO Nasser Al Khater, who said the true cost is $8 billion, and other figures relate to overall infrastructure development since the World Cup was awarded to Qatar in 2010.

"He knew of the existence of weakness in you, so He made the number of ritual prayers small; and He knew of your need of His grace, so He multiplied their fruitful results". Continuing the discussion of building ones connection with the five daily prayers, the Shaykh reveals the wisdom behind the strategic placement of each of its timings.

ARE YOU A HATER by ZamZamAcademy

"Since God knows of the existence of weariness on your part, He has varied the acts of obedience for you; and since He knows of the existence of impulsiveness in you, He has limited them to specific times, so that your concern be with the performance of the ritual prayer, not with the existence of the ritual prayer. For not everyone who prays performs well".

Spiritual Impact of the Indian Subcontinent on the World

"Ritual prayer is a purification for hearts [from the impurities of sins] and an opening-up of the door of the invisible domains. Ritual prayer is the place of intimate discourses and a mine of reciprocal acts of purity wherein the domains of the innermost being are expanded and the rising gleams of light ray out. (Hikam 119-120 Page 111)

Shaykh Abdur-Rahman (may Allah preserve him) begins by mentioning the origins of the Naqshbandi Tariqa, explains briefly how the order developed over time and highlights some of its distinguishing features. Shaykh then goes through the Khatm Khwajgan (the practise of uttering specific Qur'anic verses, divine names, and remembrances recited at the start of each majlis by the shaykhs of the order) and explains the importance of how the murid should internalise the meaning of each du’a' whilst reciting them. One can only truly benefit from what they ask Allah if they understand what they are asking. Shaykh then reveals how the aspirant should hold fast to supplications as it is only through abundant prayers that a servant expresses their need to Allah, rendering Him to be the only fulfiller of their needs. Finally, the Shaykh goes through the six dhikr acts for the aspirant on this path and their established proofs from the Qur’an and Sunnah.

Islam arrived in the inland of Indian subcontinent in the 7th century when the Arabs conquered Sindh and later arrived in Punjab and North India in the 12th century via the Ghaznavids and Ghurids conquest and has since become a part of India's religious and cultural heritage.

Love of Allah and Spiritual Devotion

"...And the one who Allah intends good for, He bestows upon him intelligence and He makes knowledge beloved to him..." From the stream of advises mentioned by Imam al-Harith al-Muhasibi in this lecture highlights the gravity of acquiring ilm (knowledge) and what it means to act upon that which has been established with certainty.

Understanding the dangers of always approaching the deen in what seems rational, logical and comforting to the intellect.

True Contentment: Only Through His Remembrance The means of seeking contentment are many and varied, and often a tumultuous and incomplete path. This lecture compares humanly devised means with what Allah has so simply declared in the Holy Qur'an: "And with the remembrance of Allah do the hearts gain contentment'' (13:28).

The Nur of Allah & the Darkness of Kufr This lecture, delivered at the Annual Youth Tarbiya Conference in Kidderminster, UK, is built around the verses of Sura Nur (24:35-40). The intricate examples given by Allah in these verses concerning His ultimate Light and the darkness of kufr [unbelief], are expounded upon.

What is required from the servant and how should his attitude be if His Lord bestows him with wealth or puts him in a state of need and poverty and likewise if he experiences good health or sickness?

If We had sent down to them the angels, and the dead had spoken to them, and (even if) We had gathered everything before them face to face, still, they were not to believe, unless Allah would have so willed. But, most of them adopt the way of ignorance. [6:111]

What is the best path to Allah, the best proof, the best provision? What is the most effective repellent for evil whispers and what is the best illuminator for the hearts? The Shaykh discusses in this talk five vital elements needed for success for the one traversing the Spiritual path.

The Shaykh discusses the different forms of love answering the above question in light of the quraanic verse, "and those who believe are most ardent in their love for Allah" (Surah Baqarah).

"Your nearness to Him is that you contemplate His nearness. Otherwise, what comparison is there between you and the existence of His nearness?"

If you consult the dictionary, health and well-being might be described as the absence of “negative” things, like mental distress and physical illness. A more positive well-being definition might be the maintenance of physical, mental, and emotional stability and balance — not just the absence of illness.

"He only made affliction come at the hands of people so that you do not repose in them. He wanted to drive you of everything so that nothing would divert you from Him." Hikam 235 Page 207 The Shaykh discusses two main ways of getting through difficulties: The first, to accept that they will be part and parcel of life and inevitable. Secondly, as mentioned in the above aphorism, to know that there is a wisdom and purpose behind the affliction.

Physical fitness is a state of health and well-being and, more specifically, the ability to perform aspects of sports, occupations and daily activities. Physical fitness is generally achieved through proper nutrition, moderate-vigorous physical exercise, and sufficient rest along with a formal recovery plan.

Al-Ikhlāṣ, also known as the Declaration of God's Unity and al-Tawhid (Arabic: التوحيد, "Monotheism"), is the 112th chapter (sūrah) of the Quran. Surah Al-Ikhlas in English : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. 1. Say, “He is God, the One. 2. God, the Absolute. 3. He begets not, nor was He begotten. 4. And there is nothing comparable to Him.”

"Your obedience does not benefit Him,and your disobedience does not harm Him. It is only for your own good that He commanded the one and prohibited the other" Hikam 211 Page 206

The Qur'an has been preserved by Allah and He has placed it in people’s hearts. The following talk covers the miracle of memorising the Qur'an, even for those that do not know Arabic. The speaker also provides some useful tips to help with memorising and importance to continue this practice.

The Shaykh discusses with great detail different spiritual states Allah Most High enters upon His close servants. Each state manifesting a different expression of devotion towards Him. Some find themselves in a state of complete awe and reverence. Others are filled with an intense love and eagerness, whilst others feel in their hearts an overwhelming feeling of comfort, contentment and certainty. These examples highlight the main message of the aphorism: any form of righteousness coming from the servant is ultimately due to the sublime grace of Allah Most High.

A teenager, or teen, is someone who is between 13 and 19 years old. They are called teenagers because their age number ends with "teen". The word "teenager" is often associated with adolescence. Most neurologists consider the brain still developing into the persons early, or mid-20s. A person begins their teenage life when they become 13 years old, and ends when they become 20 years old. In some places, teenagers who are 18 and 19 years old may be regarded as both teenagers and adults. In this talk the speaker provides some invaluable advice to both the teenagers and parents.

Don't Compare Yourself to Others

Mufti Abdur-Rahman discusses the issue of not being able to apologies for ones mistake or finding it below themselves to take the first step to seek forgiveness. The speaker has found this to be a cause of many relationships having issues.

Summary: • extreme greed with no contentment, no satisfaction and no shukr to Allah. It is a blameworthy desire. • Dedicating most of our time and effort to our work and / or comparing ourselves to others is a result of avid greed. • It is a state of our heart and mind and can be never-ending. • Opposite is contentment: Qan’at. • How to achieve qana’t; o Moderation in spending (which is half of our livelihood - Hadith). o Sustenance is decreed ACCORDING TO OUR EFFORTS AND HARD WORK. o Realise the honour in being self-sufficient as opposed to degrading and humiliating ourselves to achieve our desires. o Reflect on the lives of the Prophets. o Give shukr to Allah. o Be happy with what we have. o Be realistic and identify those things that are beneficial, and those things that are harmful. • Greed is a form of psychological slavery; it overcomes us, and we become a slave to it. • Contentment brings dignity and true freedom. • Satisfaction is when we do things purely for Allah. • There will always be someone (including a family) who condemn people who are content because those who are content do not conform with society’s expectations. • Comparing ourselves to others will bring chronic stress and depression. • Powerful reminder - Surah Taha [20:131]. However, when it comes to religious practice and piety, we should look at people who are above us to inspire and motivate us to do better for the Hereafter.

Infertility is a medical condition that can touch every aspect of your life -- from the way you feel about yourself, to your relationship with your partner, to your overall perspective on living. It can also be particularly stressful in that it creates a great deal of uncertainty and emotional upheaval in a couple's day-to-day world. If you've been struggling with infertility, you're probably no stranger to stress. The following talk covers the topic of dealing with infertility.

"If when given something, the giving expands you, and if when deprived of something, the deprivation contracts you, then take that as proof of your immaturity and the insincerity of your servanthood" [Hikam 147, Page 198] The above aphorism serving as a litmus test to see how sincere and focused one remains towards Allah Most High in the two different states.

"There are two graces from which no being can be separated and that are inevitable for every creature: the grace of existence, and the grace of sustenance".

"Sometimes He opens the door of obedience for you but not the door of acceptance; or sometimes He condemns you to sin, and it turns out to be a cause of arriving to Him." [HIKAM 95] The following lecture has two main discussions. The first discusses good deeds/acts of devotion and its components. Starting from the intention of the act to actually carrying out the deed and the final stage of whether it is accepted in the court of Allah Most High or not. Factors which render deeds to remain unaccepted are mentioned. The second part, the Shaykh explains how in fact a sin/act of disobedience can become the means of a person returning and gaining closeness to Allah Most High. Cited is the following prophetic narration: "Many a times there is sin (carried out) which (in fact) is the means of the person entering Jannah" to which the companions in astonishment reply as to how...

Do you find comfort in voicing your complaints? Have you turned it into a habit? In this talk, Mufti Abdur-Rahman speaks about how constantly complaining about our situations could lead to potentially polluting our atmosphere.

The sacrifice of an animal has always been a recognised form of worship in many religions, but in the ‘Shariah’ (Islamic sacred law) of The Last and Final Messenger of Allah Ta’ala (Peace be upon him) the sacrifice of an animal has been recognised as a form of ibadah (worship) during the three days of the month Zul Hijjah, namely the 10th, 11th, and 12th.

"When He gives, He shows you His kindness; when He deprives, He shows you His power. And in all that, He is making Himself known to you and coming to you with His gentleness". [Hikam 93] The lecture expounds the fact of Allah Most High being all inclusive in His divine names and attributes. He is both the Benevolent, The Kind and The Majestic as well as being the The Mighty, The Dominant and The With-holder. It is for the seeker to contemplate this reality so that appreciation and gratitude towards their Lord remains unchanged in times of both difficulty and goodness.

"Deprivation hurts you only because of the lack of your understanding of God in it." [Hikam 94]

"A gift from man is deprivation, and deprivation from God is beneficence" [HIKAM 88, Page 195] This delicate discussion explains 3 reasons why in fact the seeker of the path would consider a bestowed gift from the creation a means of spiritual deprivation and helps one to apprehend what the true essence of gifting is.
