Seeking & Striving for Religious Success Part 2

Seeking & Striving for Religious Success Part 2 of 2 Delivered by Shaykh Riyadh ul Haq on Friday 14th July 2023 at Al Kawthar Academy, Leicester Video: This talk emphasizes the significance of striving in both personal and religious endeavours, underscoring the notion that achievement in any form—be it worldly or spiritual—demands earnest effort and sacrifice. The talk cites the struggles and sacrifices made by the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, illustrating that his perseverance in achieving success for the Ummah serves as a model for others. It highlights Allah’s rewards for sincerity and struggle, reinforcing that true accomplishment is inextricably connected to tireless effort, as seen in the Prophet's ﷺ long nights of prayer and commitment to his mission. Throughout the discussion, various anecdotes about historical figures and contemporary students illustrate the value of sincere effort over natural ability alone. The talk provides caution against critical attitudes towards others' faith and actions, as it detracts from one's own journey of self-improvement. The discourse culminates in a call to actively engage in seeking knowledge, committing to worship, and maintaining momentum through voluntary acts of devotion, suggesting that without such endeavour, individuals risk stagnation or regression in their spiritual pursuits. Below are some of the topics mentioned in this talk: - Struggles of the Prophet ﷺ - Constant revision as part of seeking & striving - Abstaining from sin when seeking knowledge - The struggles of the Prophet ﷺ receiving revelation - Emphasis on performing nafl acts of ibadah - Deeds create momentum - Avoid criticising others ********************************************************************** Website: YouTube: Facebook: X: Instagram - **********************************************************************
