In this episode, Shaykh Faraz Rabbani covers hadiths twenty and twenty one from Imam Nabahani’s hadiths on the Praise Of Allah. The first hadith tells us that belief entails attributing blessings and actions to Allah’s bounty, and disbelief would be to attribute them to astrological events. The second hadith talks about how good deeds and intentions are recorded and multiplied, and bad deeds are recorded only equal to the extent of the deed. Then Shaykh Faraz explains how some knowledge is a personal obligation, like knowledge of good character, and other knowledge is a communal obligation.
(1) Imam Zarnuji’s Guidance for Seekers of Knowledge Regarding the Ways of Seeking Knowledge (Ta`lim al-Muta`allim Turuq al-Ta`allum); and
