S02 - Character - The importance of humility:
17/01/2026 Duration: 30minCharacter (S2) The importance of humility: The Messenger ﷺ: “Shall I not inform you of the one who is forbidden from the fire? It is the one who is accessible, polite and easy going”. The Messenger ﷺ: “Despite everything Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وتَعَالَى gave to Sulaimaan (a.s) he (a.s) never raised his head to look at the sky due to the fear and reverence of Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وتَعَالَى”. Prophet Sulaimaan (a.s) was given the wind as he sacrificed his horses. When you give up something for the sake of Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وتَعَالَى, Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وتَعَالَى gives you something better.

21/12/2025 Duration: 29minCharacter (S1) The danger of pride: Pride repels the descent of Divine Mercy. Rain only settles on low lands, not mountain peaks.

Hasan Ibn Ali رضي الله عنهم said that his beloved grandfather, The Messenger ﷺ never locked doors behind him, sat on the Earth, made himself always available to the people. Daood (a.s) entered the Masjid and saw a circle of Israelite destitutes. He (a.s) sat with them and said: “A destitute amongst destitutes”.
