About this episode

Shaykh Faraz continues the text, “Letter to a Disciple” by Imam Ghazali, where he explains some of the outward and inward etiquettes of respect that one should have for true spiritual guides. He then talks about the meaning of true spirituality in Islam and the traits that confirm its authenticity. Imam Ghazali says that true spirituality has two qualities: uprightness and being at rest from people.

In the Rawha, Shaykh Faraz Rabbani will be covering Daily Guidance for Seekers. The text covered in this episode is Imam Ghazali’s “Letter to a Disciple” on his comprehensive advice to the seeker of knowledge.

The texts in the Rawha will be read in Arabic, translated, and commented upon briefly. This class is of benefit both for committed students of knowledge—particularly given the reading in Arabic—and for those simply seeking daily guidance, reminders, and inspiration in learning to live the light of Prophetic guidance.
