Becoming Living Things - Abdal Hakim Murad

Marking the end of our #BuildingAnArk Ramadan programme, Shaykh Abdal Hakim Murad provided some reflections at our Eid Garden Party on the importance of being attentive and intuiting the miracle of living things around us so that we can recognise what it means for us to become living things.

This man sheikh Murad Abdul Hakim is a giant in the Muslim world... beautifully spoken brother in the English language.....I'm honoured that he is Muslim.....

[@adritars5640]

I was listening to this while looking at the beautiful clouds (ma Sha Allah), blue sky, wind blowing through the beautiful colorful trees and making them sway, and the bright green grass - and I cried.

[@fatimah9202]

Do not grieve, my child Look around and you will see, That the sky is still blue And the sun still shines And the birds still sing the praises of Allah And the evergreen flowers still kindly bloom And when darkness falls, the night awakens By the glorious moon and the twinkling stars And the breeze still blows to clear the air The trees still shed leaves to enrich the earth The rain still falls and the rivers still flow And the grass is still fresh and green The hens still lay the gorgeous eggs And the cows still provide the nourishing milk And the cat still purrs, while the dog still barks And the female still carries the miracle As the babies still cry and suckle And when I smile at you You smile back to me So ponder upon the beautiful creation of our Lord At the break of dawn and the coming of dusk For in contemplation and remembrance of Allah The Creation finds the sanctuary And our faith is surely strengthened While our hearts rest in peace And whilst you read the Kalimah beloved The world will not reach the end

[@NasimCanada]

Whenever I listen to our brother giving Khutbah I am reminded of Surah Luqmaan when he is exhorting his son…. In such a calm way “o my dear son”.I can listen Shaykh Abdal Hakim Murad talk all day and still want more.He is indeed a teacher who I wish I had when I was in school…

[@ashwadhwani]

Now this is more like my level of consciousness, finally. Thanks so much, sir.

[@nadjiguemarful]

Sheykh you are worthy to carry the banner of Malikiyyah within Britain.. I would love one day for you to give lectures in Algeria, because we need a reminder of this great legacy which you are such a good representative of. Insha Allah

[@najiyahjeewa178]

beautiful scholar, beautiful knowledge, beautiful environment, beautiful occasion...

[@FarhatKCh]

Truly Islam is universal in that Persian poetry was lifted up to heights not attained by Arab poetry after the advent of Islam. The Sheik’s recitation and translation of Rumi’s poems was surprising and beautiful.

[@yanirhyder3939]

I have been listening the lecture from wonderful shayk Abdal Hakim Murad for months. it is always inspiring, encouraging me to praise Allah subhanautaala and be more closer to Him..Amiin yarabalallamin. Thank you so much for guiding me slowly into Islam. May Allah grand you Jannah. Amiin, Greeting from Sydney

[@daudmomodu4357]

The peace exuded from this amazing soul, this voice, is something I find soothing to my soul. I really can't express the absolute calm I feel just listening to great Murad. His topics are so exotic and esoteric. "The Gift of Death", "Shadows on the Soul", etc. May Allah preserve you my noble Sheikh.

[@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 calling of the cockeral The lamenting of the dogs The harkening of the blackbird And the silence of the wind I saw you Allah As I overheard the compelling warning "O mankind hasten towards good Lest death soon overtakes you"

O my sons Do not fear poverty For Allah is the sustainer And the provider Keep repenting And send abundant daruud On Muhammad Rasoollullah ﷺ Recite surah Wa'kiyah daily And feed the people Learn the arts Of living off grid How to rear livestock And plant and harvest Do not just totally rely On the national system Which may collapse At anytime Learn about foraging From the blessings Of free natural food And medicinal herbs Provided by the mercy Of Allah All around you For survival Keep fit and build strength Practice self defence And be the soldier For the weak and defenseless And the voice For the voiceless Feed the poor and needy And spend kindly On family and relatives The more you are generous The more Allah Will bestow upon you Except on extravagance Form a community Of like minded Muslims And when Imaan and lives Are endangered Leave the West Obtain a few goats and hens And go towards the mountains

Jannah Come my child Don't be so sad Close your eyes And ponder a while Let's go to a place Where forever is joy And love is real Where the sun never sets And darkness doesn't fall In the gardens of bliss Where saffron is grass Where the rivers flow Of milk and honey Water and wine Awaiting your beckoning By the staff in your hand Come my child Don't be so sad Close your eyes And ponder a while Let's go to a place Where forever is joy And love is real Where are mountains of musk With valleys of rubies and pearls Where trees are without thorns That bend down to serve Where flowers and fruit Are piled upon pile And where the leaves rustle To the fragrant breeze Melodiously enchanting, the dwellers within Come my child Don't be so sad Close your eyes And ponder a while Let's go to a place Where forever is joy And love is real Where the gates are eight For the actions on earth Where palaces are made Of gold and silver And others of a single pearl And many decorated With diamonds and emeralds Garnets and rubies Where the thrones are raised Couches are adorned And where everyone smiles Come my child Don't be so sad Close your eyes And ponder a while Let's go to a place Where forever is joy And love is real Where there is no argument or pain Nor calamity sorrow or death Where no one cries or sheds a tear Where there are beautiful companions With lustrous eyes And pearl like boys that never grow Where the angels bring gifts, and salaam and salaam In the home of peace And when you will gaze at the LORD most high And when you will gaze at the LORD most high Only then will you understand And only then will you understand

But why do you think there’s a contradiction between the coffee-shop setup and the park hangout? I think these are two beautiful abstracts, hence the appeal they both have for virtually different reasons. The coffee shop has the quietness, coffee beans odour, a lovely working/ reading space, etc.. The park on the other hand would have the natural outdoor greenery odour and fresh air, surrounded by various living things, etc. Perhaps we need to reinterpret the beauty of modernity and realise there’s not a clash all the time between modern ways of living and beauty.

[@Rukhsana2056]

Quiet a Philosophical talk it seems but wouldn’t it be appropriate to sum up what our Holy Book Qur’an says about poets in Chapter Shuraa/ The Poets ? I consider myself an immature poet but when I read what Allah says about poets , I started to ponder & rethink the reason why some of those who love poetry so immensely do sometimes go to extremes in it & this way, without realization, they drift towards extremes of certain notions… of the worldly than focusing mainly to The Supreme Submissive Devotion of The Almighty God, “ Allah “ . 🌹👍🏻💫

Sorry al-Khalil was an Arab

[@KenadoCC]

It's "Becoming slaves that are forbidden to use reason and critical thinking," .. blindly following their Imams, and forbidden to have doubts, because, it's either legal or illegal, and there's no moral law in Islam, only Shariah, a political and juristic system that covers everything, even how you go to toilet. You're just in a prison that kills you, by the apostasy law of Shariah, the only law-system that Muslims are obliged to follow. And, they must not tell about Sharia, only about the Quran, which has been abrogated for the Sharia that dominates. Three prayers in the Quran, but 5 in the hadith. Only that is a contradiction if Quran is the only book to follow. That's the top of the iceberg.

Barak Allahu feek Sheikh Abdal Hakim, you always amaze us with your deep sermons. I have learnt a lot since I have known you. Can't thank you enough for this. You are a treasure to this Ummah, I wish more people would know you. Unfortunately in the Arab world they don't know you. I wish my people (Arabs) would listen to you and benefit from you. The majority of our sheikhs in the Arab world have ancient mentality, and very traditional mindset they seem lost to what's happening in the world. That's why if the young generation does not find the answers within Islam they will eventually look it outside of Islam. Alhamdulilah today we have youtube and Muslim scholars like you are doing the job to try and answer the current age problems with an open eye view of the world.

[@FarhatKCh]

I never thought about why the Quran doesn’t mention seasons or the solar calendar. Insightful as always from Sheikh on this topic.

i love Shaykh AHM but it seems he does not appear to implement gender segregation in his gatherings, I've pointed this out previously as well.

[@jpaqon]

Why should they be?

[@musabqureshi242]

Mixing up men and women, no segregation. Women without hijab. This we can expect from the Sufi Shaykh of Cambridge, England sadly. No dhikr dancing because that's kept for the evening session. Extremely sad. Inalilahi wa ina ilayhi raji'oon.
