New Book for the Sessions!

Salamo Aleikom Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu

inshaAllah we are going to start a new book! Alhamdulilah, we finished the book Heaven's Door and we had great benefit from it. Now it's time to take the juice of knowledge out of this new book, inshaAllah =)

Book Session Subject: Enjoining Good and Forbidding Evil

Enjoining good and forbidding evil, amr bi'l-ma'ruf wa'n-nahiy an al-munkar, is the pivot and most important principle in Islam and it is the main reason why Allah sent His Prophets and Messengers to His creatures. If this principle is not implemented and put into practice, then prophethood is ineffective, the deen fades away, misguidance, corruption and ignorance prevail, civilizations decline, and nations are destroyed.

Whenever this principle has been extinguished, people follow their desires and whims, ignore their Lord, and live like animals — and then you can hardly find anyone who adheres to the principle of enjoining good and forbidding evil, even though the reward of putting it into practice is great in the sight of Allah.

Book Session Subject: Complete Reliance on Allah

Complete reliance on Allah is the sincere dependence of the heart on Allah in the servant's endeavours in pursuing his interests and safeguarding himself against anything that may be harmful to his well-being both in this life and in the akhira (the next life).

Book Session Subject: Gratitude

Gratitude is thanking the One who grants blessings for His generosity. The gratitude of a servant should have three qualities, without which it can hardly be considered to be gratitude:

• Inner recognition and appreciation of the blessing;
• Speaking about it openly;
• Using it as a means to worshipping Him.
