Green Pill - Abdal Hakim Murad

In this Ramadan talk, Shaykh Abdal Hakim Murad recollects the heavenly origin and universality of fasting. Adam and Eve were ordered to steer clear from the Tree of Eternity, and God prescribed fasting to the Abrahamic faiths. The religion of nature (dīn al-fiṭrah) reorients us to our primordial, natural selves through fasting, and a proper fast may serve to inculcate God-consciousness (taqwá) within us. Man craves knowledge of the Divine and cannot be satisfied with the distractions of dunya. We yearn for Him, and a nostalgia for Truth and the Garden whirls within us - the question, “What am I doing here?” besets us all. Numerous allegories have long served to demonstrate how abstinence draws a person nearer to God, an action done solely for Him, and rewarded as such.
This talk was delivered at Cambridge Central Mosque on Friday 24 March 2023.

I am one elderly woman who believes that Ramadan is not daunting, or difficult. On the contrary it is energising, it reduces inflammation in the body and is the best 'medicine' for the sick and elderly people who fast for the right intention.

[@ummpearls]

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing.

[@deeplife9654]

Considering the comfort crisis that we are facing, we should celebrate Ramadan 3 times a year to cure our comfort diseases. During sahabah time , they did face comfort diseases

[@safina2022]

Indeed... It works for my bursitis.

[@nadirlahmadi3170]

Beautiful. God bless you.

[@supershan546]

SubhanAllah I find during Ramadan my psoriasis calms down and skin feels and looks better. Alhamdulillah for this blessed gift.

Same here. Alhamdulilah for our honorable teacher! Sheikh's words are like gems, rare and beautiful.

[@fatimah9202]

In the breaking of dawn The passing of the night The rising of the Sun And the hymming of sparrows I saw you Allah In the drops of rain The sprouting of seeds The blooming of the rose And the scents of Spring I saw you Allah In the union of marriage The signs of conception The endurance of a mother And the birth of a child I saw you Allah In the play of the toddler The passions of youth The dedication of a father And the shield of morality I saw you Allah In the trials of life The soreness of the heart The weakness of limbs And the consolement from prayer I saw you Allah In the leaving of the day The glory of the moon In the final breath And the tears of the family I saw you Allah In the crowing of the cockeral The lamenting of the dogs The harkening of the blackbird The silence of the wind And the call to salaah I saw you Allah As I overheard the compelling warning "O mankind hasten towards good Lest death soon overtakes you"

[@FarhatKCh]

Sheikh Murad referencing the Matrix and pop culture is so cool.

[@snakejuce]

Ahaha forreal. He's getting a bit hip 😅

[@FarhatKCh]

@ponderingspirit Well, he does mention the movie in this lecture. He is aware of significant pop culture moments, though obviously not immersed in them.

[@jackbirdie]

@@snakejuce Is hip a good thing? Is pop-culture a good thing? Do you want the Ulema to become cool-hip-cats? Maybe they should sing a bit of Lady Gaga whist wearing a skintight leather suit? Would that make you happy?

[@jackbirdie]

@@ponderingspirit I think 'it's like in the film the Matrix' is pretty clear evidence to the contrary.

[@snakejuce]

@@jackbirdie wtf are you on about? Calm tf down child.

[@deathofcows]

Kudos to whoever made the thumbnail and chose the title. You had me at hello, and then I was absorbed until the end.

[@chehrazadeesmey8399]

Haha you had no choice but to "be absorbed" till the end.

[@nina1996ization]

Agreed! The green pill as the antidote to the crazy pills all over the internet

[@1mission786]

Sheikh Abdal is a gentleman in the true sense of the word. He's eloquent and it is a delight to listen to him.

[@shahliker1095]

Listening to brother Murad brings a great sense of calmness to my heart.

[@QuadrantRoyale]

I came all the way from Sydney just so I could lay my eyes on the Shaykh, yet the masjid is almost empty. I don't think people know who this man is. Perhaps we will only realise when it's too late.

[@FarhatKCh]

How fortunate for you, I wish to see him too one day inshallah ❤️

[@QuadrantRoyale]

@@FarhatKCh Maintain a firm intention and make dua... You will and he is beautiful Masha'Allah

[@inspirationalmbas]

[@jackbirdie]

Yes it is without time Alhamdulillah! If one really took the green pill they would be wearing a red hat. People wearing blue hats can go back to sleep.

[@koroglurustem1722]

Many got "hooked" by the title and the thumbnail 😂. Alhamdulillah for some small minority (usually around 10k) the sermons of sheikh Murad is of course attractive without any additional advertising. Because his speeches are so deep that for those who yearn for the depth they're godsend.

[@agentsmith8379]

Thank you for all the videos for us who cannot be there in person to learn something. I am watching from France.

[@GG-09]

[@kausamsalam8543]

[@leokir9095]

Thats interesting, to see beyond the form one must be human. And to be human one must remind themselves of their mortality as human, And to remind themselves they must take actions like prayer (humility) and fasting. I'm converting to islam, i felt like christianity never teached humility. Maybe guilt but not humility. Thank you.

O Allah, bless our dear sheikh with a long life and one full of your ita’at (obedience). A true sufi master and traditionalist who has learnt the ways of the heart and divine love. Not many English speaking shuyookh have the depth that Sheikh possesses and the dawah that comes from it is a blessing for those who cannot speak Urdu or Arabic in which there is abundant literature and teachers of Sufism.

I lost my father yesterday, Friday before Dzuhr 9 Ramadan 1444 / 31 March 2023 (Allahummaghfirlahu warhamhu wa a'fihi wa'fu 'anhu), and I'm grieving. I'm still processing... the pain of losing him comes and goes, in waves.... Suddenly I thought of our Cambridge imam, Tim Winter / 'Abdal Hakim Murad. Though this dars does not directly relate to my situation, I'm extremely calmed by the shaykhs' familiar voice and insightful comments. 'In worship, there is freedom'. And for one who hikes regularly, his point hits especially close to home. Thank you Allah. Alhamdulillah....

[@lovenatureasmr]

Sorry to hear this..May Allah make it easier for you and grant him Janna 🙏

Alhamdullillah For Ramadan The auspicious month Of the Qur'an The blessed month Of patience To awaken From heedlessness And seriously reflect To aspire for Paradise And protection from Hell To fast from dawn Until the dusk To tame the ego And caprice And glorify Allah To help the needy And those in distress To ask for forgiveness And mend the broken ties To feed the fasting believers And the destitute To straighten the rows in salaah Respecting diversity And uniting as one Ummah To productively appreciate The respite from Iblees And pray for all The dwellers on Earth Placing our trust In Allah alone And remember O Muslim Every second of Ramadan Is so very precious So believer cheer up!
