Hadrat Abu Zharr (ra). Session 11 The Ascetic  The green earth has not carried and the sky has not given shade to one with more truthful speech than Abu Zharr (ra). Whomsoever it pleases to look at the asceticism of Eesaa son of Mariam (as) then let him look at Abu Zharr (ra) (Tirmidhi). Superior worship is humility (Baihaqi). The best of you are those who do the most without the world and most desire the Hereafter (Baihaqi). Jibreel (as) and the Angels know Abu Zharr (ra) better as he thinks of himself insignificant and also recites Surah Ikhlas in abundance (Tafseer Al Kabeer). Your love for Surah Ikhlaas will cause you to enter Paradise (Bukhari). Whoever recites Surah Ikhlas when he enters his dwelling will then drive away poverty from that dwelling and also the neighbours (Tabarani).

Hadrat Abu dharr (ra). Session 10 The Ascetic  You Will Be with Those Whom You Love A man loves some people but at the same time cannot do the deeds like theirs, (will he thus be deprived of their most Blessed company in the Hereafter - which would be unbearable)? You O Abu Dharr (ra) will be with those whom you love. But I love Allah SWT & His Messenger ﷺ You will be with those whom you love... (Abu Dawood). When in The Final Hour? What have you prepared for it ? Nothing [neither Ritual Prayer or Fasting], except that I love Allah SWT & His Messenger ﷺ. Anas (ra), We have never felt so glad as in this decree of The Holy Prophet ﷺ that you will be gathered with those whom you love I therefore love The Messengerﷺ , Abu Bakr & Umar (raa). I hope to be with them due to my love for them, even though I do not perform the like of their good deeds (Bukhari).

Hadrat Abu Dharr (ra). Session 9 The Ascetic  Ahlus Suffa If only you knew [Ahlus Suffa] how much you owned in Allah SWT presence you would then dearly wish to increase your poverty and need... (Tirmidh). Abu dharr (ra), After seeing The Messenger ﷺ I returned to the masjid and slept (Tabrani). The Messenger ﷺ would stand and embrace and hug Abo Zharr (ra) [due to love & affection], on recounting this incident he remarked 'That embrace was very good, Very very good, most blessed and pleasing' (Abu Dawood).

Hadrat Abu Dharr (ra). Session 8 The Ascetic  'May Allah SWT keep the tribe of Aslam safe & sound. May Allah SWT forgive the tribe of Ghifaar' (Bukhari). Buraydah (ra) uses The Turban of The Messenger ﷺ as a standard to enter Al Madeenah. Later Buraydah (ra) is seen carrying the same standard as The Messenger ﷺ enters Al Madeenah. Later in life, Buraydah (ra) was sent to Khurasaan and he passed away in Marw during the reign of Yazeed ibn Mu'aawiyah. The Ansaar, Muzaynah, Juhaynah, Ashja'a, Ghifaar and the members of Banoo Abd Daar are my Mawaaleey [close associates]... (Muslim).

Hadrat Abu Dharr (ra). Session 7 The Ascetic  A Quarter of Islam Reconciling 2 reports. Abu Dharr (ra) is a quarter of Islam (Baihaqi). That is, he was the 4th free male adult to embrace the faith, preceded by Abo Bakr, Alee & Zayd ibn Harith (raa). Abu Dharr (ra) returned to his tribe and stayed there until Badr, Uhud and the Trench had passed (16-17 years), he thereupon moved to Al Madeenah (Ibn Al-Jawzee).

Hadrat Abu Zharr (ra). Session 6  The Ascetic  The entire tribe of Ghifar eventually embraces Islam after a period of 15 years. Abu dharr (ra) calls out a declaration of faith around The Kaba and as a result is beaten.

Hadrat Abu dharr (ra). Session 5 The Ascetic  ZamZam is from the springs of Paradise (Ibn Abee Shaibah). The Messenger ﷺ is amazed that a man from the notorious tribe of Ghufar embraces Islam. Abu Bakr (ra) is the first to host Abo Zharr (ra). Abo Zharr (ra) learns from The Messenger ﷺ. The Messenger's ﷺ dream of his migration to Al Medina during the early days.

Hadrat Abu dharr (ra). Session 4  The Ascetic  The looting of the Ghifar tribes on the trade caravans during the 4 sacred months would trouble Abu Zharr (ra). His brother Unays (ra) was not only a poet but would gamble. Abu Zharr (ra) would offer prayer all night to Allah SWT 2/3 years before he had met The Messenger ﷺ. He had survived on ZamZam water for an entire month.

Hadrat Abu Zharr (ra). Session 3  The Ascetic  Allah SWT creates the environment for Abu Zharr's (ra) journey to The Messenger ﷺ. Abu Bakr hosts Abu Zharr (raa).

Abu Zharr (ra). Session 2 Jundub ibn Junaadah (ra) The Ascetic  The Notorious Al Ghifaar tribe stationed at Ar-Rabazha. The 4 sacred months were permissible for this tribe. Abu Zharr (ra) was a brave, strong & undaunted soul. The Haneef  Unays (ra) had said to his younger brother... 'I met a man in Makkah who follows your deen' (Muslim). During the days of Ignorance, Zayd ibn Amr, Abu Zharr & Salman (raa) uttered the declaration of Faith (Ad Durr al Manthoor).

Hadrat Abu Zharr (ra). Session 1 Jundub ibn Junaadah (ra) The Ascetic  Abu Zharr (ra) was tall and dark skinned (Sifatus Safwah). Abu Zharr (ra) saw all of his children pass away during his lifetime. Abu Dharr (ra), 'All praise belongs to Allah SWT who takes them away from this temporary home and stores them as a treasure in the eternal abode' (Abu Nuaym). The little children who advance forward are the free roamers of The Garden of Eden.

Welcome O Seeker of Knowledge...' I did not extract knowledge from Ataa (rah) except by being kind to him (Ibn Juray rah). 'Whoever treads a path in search of knowledge then Allah SWT makes easy a path for him towards Paradise' (Abo Dawood).

Welcome O Seeker of Knowledge The Value of Knowledge O Adam (as) inform them of their names, Surah 2 v33. Adam (as) teaches the Angels. Shaitan bothers not with those without sacred knowledge. If you did not sin, I ﷺ would fear for you something worse than that - self conceit (Baihaqi). O Abu Darr (ra), if you go anywhere to learn 1 verse of the Quran it is better for you than 100 units of voluntary prayer. If you go anywhere to acquire one aspect of Islamic knowledge it is better for you than performing 1,000 units of voluntary prayer irrespective of whether it is practised or not (Ibn Majah). If the knowledge learnt is acted upon then that is better than the whole world and what it contains... (ibn Abee Shahbah). 'Welcome to the seeker of knowledge The Angels surround the seeker of knowledge and shade him with their wings one on top of the other until they reach the lowest heavens. This is out of the love for what he sees' (Ibn majah). Good deeds- Faith & The Anticipation of Reward. Abu Bakr (ra),

7 Earths & The Fire Under The Sea. The same amount of rainfall per year. The Eclipse, A sign of Allah SWT. Zaghlool An-Najjar, describing the 7 earths, 1 The Solid core 2 The outer Liquid Core 3 The lower mantle 4 The Middle mantle 5 The upper mantle of the lithosphere earth 6 The lower lithosphere 7 The crust of the earth / upper lithosphere 'And by the sea that is set ablaze, Surah At Toor 52 v6. The Holy Ka'ba was placed over the water on 4 pillars 2,000 years before this world was created, then the earth spread out from beneath the House (Tabaree).

I ask you, O Allah (SWT)! To be pleased after whatever decision is passed (Ahmad). A heart cannot find security, success, pleasure, facility, sweetness, tranquility or serenity except through worshipping Allah SWT, Ibn Taymiah. Usury has 70 gateways and Shirik is similar to that (Bazzar). Whoever is put back by an evil omen has courted Shirik (ibn Wahb). Verily good deeds remove evil deeds, Surah Hud 11 v114. To speak of Allah SWT blessings is gratitude and leaving this is ingratitude (Ahmad). To affirm and recognise the Creator is an instinct implanted into the soul of every human. The Slugs are incapable of making supplictions.

Quran Class Surah 25 v21-25 Session 6  70 of the Bani Israel see Allah SWT and are raised up after death, view Surah 2 v55. The likeness of the deeds of the unbelievers are like scattered dust which is seen through a ray of light Allah SWT descends during the last part of the night - here Allah SWT has attributed himself to honour that time.

The verse was revealed due to the people of As-Suffah. And if Allah SWT were to extend the provision profusely to His servants they would transgress in the land but He sends down by measure what He wills, Surah Ash Shoora 42 v27. For some wealth is appropriate as being poor would damage them Others are good with poverty as wealth would damage them For some health is good as illness would spoil them Others are good with illness as health would damage them I SWT alone manage the affairs of My servants for indeed I SWT am Aware and watchful over them (Baihaqi). 'Do not become heedless that you forget about The Mercy of your Lord' (Ahmad). 'Allah SWT is critical of incapacity' (Ahmad). 'The most incapable person is he who does not make supplication' (Ibn Hibaan).

Knowledge - Writing - Creation Verily Allah SWT knew before He wrote and Wrote before He created. Hence, the creation proceeds according to His Knowledge and Writing (Baihaqi). Thus the writing predated the creation. The birds fly be preordainment (Ahmad). 'Our record speaks about you with truth for We indeed replicate all that what you did', Surah Al Jaathiyah 45 v29. ...A part of happiness of the son of Adam (as) is contentment after the decree...(Tirmidhi).

The Justice of The Messenger ﷺ Abo Jahl refuses to pay for camels he took from a Yemenee. Abo Jahl, saw such clear signs of Prophethood yet dies in unbelief.

The Paragon of Mercy On the Last Day the gate keeper of paradise will say to the people, 'Verily Allah SWT has ordered me to give the Keys of Paradise to Muhammad ﷺ' (Mudaarij Nuboowah). A captured deer speaks to The Messenger ﷺ seeking help, Jibreel (as) descends. The Bag of Butter at Tabook.
