Become Husayni

The Qur'an paints a picture of previous prophets and both their supporters and those who rejected the Divinely sent – to teach us that we must struggle to recognise the rightful representative of God in every era. This knowledge must lead us back to God and to our religious responsibility. How do we continue the journey of Islamic knowledge to recognise the Imam of our Time?

It is one thing to give to others from the ‘excess’ that we have; it is yet another thing to give to others when we find ourselves in times of difficulty. Do we regard others as our own selves? Do we feel the pain of the suffering of others? Are we ready to share our time, energy, wealth, knowledge – all that God has given us to those around us? How do we cultivate empathy in our hearts and our next generation? Subscribe to our podcasts and always be the first to listen to our latest episode.

Day four our #BecomeHusayni series and we will look into understanding good deeds. A believer is one who is always working to spread goodness and kindness in society – no matter how “small” it may be. However sometimes, we don’t find the “opportunity” to do good – what is referred to as tawfīq ­– the ability to do as we intend. Reflecting on one of the heroes of Kerbala who was given tawfiq and did good, through his life, we study how we can attract this important trait in our lives.

In today's podcast we will look into the reality of acquiring Sabr. Being creations of two dimensions – physical and spiritual – we are constantly concerned with our physical health, but do we pay the same concern to our spiritual well-being? Living in an era of instant gratification, how should we understand the sacred trait of sabr ­– patience and fortitude, how can we use this trait in our daily lives and what are the benefits of maintaining a life of fortitude?

Our second podcast will focus on the importance of Salaat. The daily prayer is the foundational pillar of Islamic worship and if accepted, all acts of worship will be accepted, however if they are rejected, everything else is declined. It is easy to pray when at the religious centre, but how do we juggle our religious responsibility when we are at work or at school? Like the companions of Kerbala, do we long to speak to Allah? When times are tough, do we turn to Allah or our vices? Learn more about our podcast series here: https://www.world-federation.org/news/become-husayni-1441

Listen to our first podcast on the 1st Muharram 1441. One podcast to be released every day for the first 10 days of Muharram. Today we will talk about the actions of Imam Husayn, peace be upon him, before he left for Kufa,  and how he clarified his stance – he refused to pledge allegiance to a tyrant like Yazid. To him, this was nothing more than humiliation and ran counter to the ethos of the past Prophets. He would rather his body cut to pieces than his principles shred to bits. As believers, how can we live up to the standard that Aba Abdillah set 1,400 years ago? Learn more about our podcast series here: https://www.world-federation.org/news/become-husayni-1441

As with all walks of life, professionals must be acknowledged and vetted by their peers before they can practice. What are the requisites for the scholar we want to follow? If we say that we do not need to follow a Mujtahid and that we can “work it out on our own”, then what are the alternatives?

What do we do when we can’t figure something out in life? We tend to go to the experts to seek their professional advice. In the sphere of Islamic teachings, what do we do if we find verses which condemn and encourage “blind following” of others? In this episode, we review the Qur’anic position on “Taqleed”. #Qur’an #BlindFollowing #Scholarship More information can be found here: Learn more about STEPS here: https://lnk.wf/STEPS Sign up here: http://lnk.wf/StepsSignUp Watch all the STEPS videos here: http://lnk.wf/STEPSvideos Listen to Podcasts here: http://lnk.wf/STEPSpodcasts Read the STEPS articles here: http://lnk.wf/STEPSarticles  Follow us on our Social Media Channels to get all our latest videos on STEPS and Subscribe to our YouTube Channel FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/WFKSIMC INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/wfksimc TWITTER: https://twitter.com/wfksimc

This video is about a conversation between two friends, Ali and Mahdi. Ali has some questions on the controversial issue on why our Imams (as) refrain from utilising the Knowledge of The Unseen that they have been endowed with. Fortunately, Mahdi has done some research on the topic and is able to shed some light on the matter.

In this second episode, we present a Qur’anic view on Knowledge of The Unseen. Through the Qur’an, we will learn how to differentiate between knowledge of The Unseen possessed by Allah (swt) and that which He grants to His chosen ones. 

In this episode, the first podcast from The World Federation's Islamic Education Department, we give an introduction to the topic of Knowledge of The Unseen. We review what this topic means, who is endowed with it and to what level.
