Heeding Admonition Part 2

Heeding Admonition Part 2 of 3 Delivered by Shaykh Riyadh ul Haq on Friday 20th January 2023 at Al Kawthar Academy, Leicester Video: This talk revolves around the importance of genuinely engaging with religious teaching and taking personal responsibility for one’s spiritual growth and understanding. The talk emphasizes that merely attending lectures, reading, or listening is not sufficient for real transformation. To fully benefit from the guidance of Allah and His Messenger ﷺ, one must cultivate a sincere intention, acknowledge personal responsibility, and actively engage with the material in a focused and respectful manner. It is also crucial to maintain humility and seek knowledge from learned individuals while being attentive and present during teachings. The talk shares anecdotes from Islamic history, describing how the companions of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ exemplified respect and dedication towards learning from their teachers. They approached knowledge not as a mere academic endeavour but as a heartfelt connection with their teachers. Emphasizing the necessity to avoid following one's desires, the speaker argues that true guidance requires striving against inner impulses that detract from absorbing religious teachings. The talk concludes with a reminder for the audience to seek constant improvement, urging them to act on what they learn and to turn to Allah for assistance in their spiritual journeys.
