Shaykh Faraz Rabbani explains that the reality of religion and faith revolves around love and gratitude. Allah Most High tells us, "And those who believe are more intense in their love of Allah." (Quran)

Everything we do in Ramadan, and in our lives, should express love for Allah, in the ways beloved to Allah. 

This Friday khutba was delivered at the Sayeda Khadija Centre (http://www.sayedakhadijacentre.com), in the Greater Toronto Area as part of SeekersHub Toronto 's community outreach. See: www.SeekersHub.org/toronto 

An explanation of the power of taqwa and trust in Allah in decision-making. Faraz Rabbani explains how, "Whoever has mindfulness of Allah, Allah grants a way out and provides for them in ways they could never imagine." [Qur'an, 65.2-3] This is not only through spiritual assistance but also through the practical facilitation of making right choices--as taqwa is committing to leave all that is displeasing to Allah and choosing what is pleasing to Allah. This is the practical way to good in all choices.

But people have their worldly and spiritual fears and misgivings, so Allah Most High promises, "And whoever places their trust in Allah, Allah is their sufficiency.." [Qur'an, 65.3]

In this lesson, Shaykh Faraz Rabbani of SeekersHub Global discusses salat al-istikhara (the prayer of guidance) by defining it, debunking misconceptions regarding it, the best way to perform it, and easy ways to integrate it into our lives in a meaningful manner.

Jabir (Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to teach us the way of doing Istikhara in all matters as he taught us the Suras of the Qur’an. He said, “If anyone of you thinks of doing any job he should offer a two Rakat prayer other than the compulsory ones and say (after the prayer):

‘Allahumma inni astakhiruka bi’ilmika, Wa astaqdiruka bi-qudratika, Wa as’alaka min fadlika al-’azlm Fa-innaka taqdiru Wala aqdiru, Wa ta’lamu Wala a’lamu, Wa anta ‘allamu l-ghuyub. Allahumma, in kunta ta’lam anna hadha-l-amra Khairun li fi dini wa ma’ashi wa’aqibati amri (or ‘ajili amri wa’ajilihi) Faqdirhu wa yas-sirhu li thumma barik li Fihi, Wa in kunta ta’lamu anna hadha-lamra shar-run li fi dini wa ma’ashi wa’aqibati amri (or fi’ajili amri wa ajilihi) Fasrifhu anni was-rifni anhu. Waqdir li al-khaira haithu kana Thumma ardini bihi.’

(O Allah! I ask guidance from Your knowledge, And Power from Your Might and I ask for Your great blessings. You are capable and I am not. You know and I do not and You know the unseen. O Allah! If You know that this job is good for my religion and my subsistence and in my Hereafter… (or said: If it is better for my present and later needs). Then You ordain it for me and make it easy for me to get, And then bless me in it, and if You know that this job is harmful to me In my religion and subsistence and in the Hereafter… (or said: If it is worse for my present and later needs). Then keep it away from me and let me be away from it. And ordain for me whatever is good for me, And make me satisfied with it).

The Prophet added that then the person should name (mention) his need.
