Shaykh Faraz Rabbani teaches from Imam Munawi’s work – a complete description of the appearance, character, conduct and habits of the Beloved Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his folk)–al-Rawd al-Basim (the Smiling Garden).

This work is based on Imam Tirmidhi’s famous work al-Shama’il (the Prophetic Description), but is much more detailed: Tirmidhi’s work has slightly more than 400 hadiths; Munawi’s text is almost 1,100 hadiths.

His Physical Appearance

Habib Ali al-Jifri suggested to Shaykh Faraz that he teach this work and so in this first lesson, Shaykh Faraz begins with the first chapter, on the Physical Appearance of the Prophet Muhammad (Allah bless him and give him peace).
