Abu Hafsah Kashiff Khan (hafidhahullah Ta'lala) is currently teaching the explanation of the 40 Hadeeth of Imam an-Nawawi by Shaykh Saale al-Luhaydaan (rahimahullah Ta'ala).

He (hafidhahullah Ta'ala) has reached hadeeth number 15,  The translation of the Hadeeth is as follows;

On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (رضي الله عنه), that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:

❝Let him who believes in Allah and the Last Day speak good or keep silent; and let him who believes in Allah and the Last Day be generous to his neighbour; and let him who believes in Allah and the Last Day be generous to his guest.❞ [Related by Bukhari & Muslim]  

Here is the explanation:

We Need to Learn About the Good & Evil - Abu Iyaad Amjad Rafiq

I have posted a breakdown of the lecture by Abu Iyaad Amjad Rafiq (hafidhahullah Ta'ala) titled: Manhaj Benefits Regarding Dawah. One of the points he (hafidhahullah Ta'ala) mentions briefly, is the importance of not just learning the good but also learning the evil (for the purpose of not falling in to it).

Did You Record Me? - Abul-Hasan Malik

ecently a one day seminar was organised by Islamic Dawah NYC, with many of our well-known du'at from the US in attendance. The title of the seminar was: The Levels of Striving Against the Soul.  This is what Abul-Hasan Malik (hafidhahullah Ta'ala) said, when he saw someone, possibly making a video of him (hafidhahullah Ta'ala).

The benefit highlights the fact that not every approves of making videos for the purpose of da'wah.

Not Enough Listening, too Much Talking! - Hasan as-Somali

A short, direct benefit from a lecture by Hasan as-Somali (hafidhahullah Ta'ala) that I would on the YouTube channel of Umm Uthmaan al-Majariyyah (may Allah have mercy upon her).

We often see this at conferences and seminars, people unnecessarily spending time outside of the lectures, socialising.  There is a time and place for everything, it is just that sometimes, we need to make our choices a little more wisely and at a more suitable time.  May Allah rectify all of our affairs, Aameen.
