In this lecture, Shaykh Faraz Rabbani gives advice on reframing the question of Hijab from one of form (clothing) to one of essence (modesty) by using the Prophetic example and the example of the best of women: Khadijah, Fatima, Maryam, A’isha, and Asiya (May Allah (subhana wa ta’ala) be pleased with them all).

In this Islamcast, Shaykh Faraz Rabbani discusses the Qur'anic concept of shukr (thankfulness), the fifth principle described in Imam al-Ghazali's work “al-Arbaeen fi Usul al-Din.” “And very few of my slaves are truly thankful.” (Qur'an 34:13) “If you are thankful, We will indeed grant you increase.” (Qur'an 14: 7) When asked why he would pray so long at night that his feet would swell, the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) responded, "Should I not be a thankful servant?" (Sahih Bukhari)
