Taqwa is such an important aspect without it we can not enter paradise. ...And take a provision (with you) for the journey, but the best provision is At-Taqwa (piety, righteousness).

The shaikh outlines the many merits of Ramadan. As Ramadan is such an important aspect of Islam we wait eagerly many months beforehand. The shaikh expands on why we was given the gift of Ramadan, its importance, the benefits, the night of power (laylatul qadr), and fasting as Allah say:- O you who believe! Fasting is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you, that you may (learn) self-restraint. (the Holy Quran 93:11) Ramadan such a blessed month will we be among those who will benefit from it or be as those who the prophet (saw) said "some of you fast and only get hunger and thirst". The shaikh explains how we can save ourselves from hunger and thirst and get the full benefit of Ramadan.

One of the greatest points of contention today is the validity of following one of the four Sunni juridical schools (madhhab). By following a madhhab, we are following the prophetic guidance more scrupulously, as we are deferring to the understanding of that guidance as it has been re?ned by successive generations of scholars. In this class, Imam Zaid Shakir explains what a madhhab is, what it means to follow a madhhab and why a simplistic “return” to the Qur’an and Sunnah will not eliminate the main reasons for the scholars differing on certain issues. He also examines the categories of legal rulings, ‘blind following’ (taqlid) and many other important issues. This recording is highly recommended for anyone seeking to understand what a madhhab is and the importance of that institution.

On the anniversary of the Miraj, Hamza Yusuf gave a commentary on Sidi Ahmed Zarruq’s “advice” to the one who yearns nearness to his Lord. Topics such as divine unity, morality, repentance, and the golden rule were discussed, and Hamza Yusuf reminded us of the qualities of good character that are required to travel swiftly on the path of Islam. This is a timeless lecture of practical spiritual guidance, which the seeker of knowledge will never tire of listening.

This is an invaluable talk for anyone interested in effectively communicating the teachings of Islam to people of other faiths. Hamza Yusuf describes the gentle style of the Prophet, peace be upon him, when speaking to people about Islam and his emphasis on talking to people at a level they can comprehend according to their own state. Hamza Yusuf reminds us to look at people of other faiths with the eye of mercy, to be tolerant and respectful of people’s views, and to remember that being a good example to others speaks more than a thousand words. An excellent speech for Muslims who want to share the beauty of Islam with other people of other beliefs.
