Talk by Sheikh Abdal Hakim Murad - Cambridge - 10 November 2009 - 56 mins 07 secsTRANSCRIPTION PENDING
In this talk, Sheikh Abdal Hakim elaborates on some of the themes of a previous talk, discussing here the importance of companionship (suhba). He reads from a letter on the subject by Sheikh Sharafuddin b. Yahya Maneri, known as Makhdoom Sahib, a noted saint of the 13th century CE who lived in the Bihar region in India and was among the great spiritual leaders who brought Islam to what is today north-east India and Bangladesh. Sheikh Sharafuddin's letters were compiled by his students and studied ever since as an inspirational source of spiritual guidance. With reference to this letter on suhba, from the collection known as the Hundred Letters, Sheikh Abdal Hakim talks about the nature of suhba, and its importance for the individual and society, in particular for the relationship between the generations.

ReplyDeleteThis is a fantastic website, may Allah reward those running it.
I have one suggestion for improvement. If the larger files could be split into smaller parts (not exceeding 25MB) this would be great, as I would then be able to download these larger talks directly onto my phone and listen to them from there. I currently do this with smaller talks but can't with larger ones due to restrictions on file size downloading on my phone (all Blackberrys have this). I suspect others will be having this same problem.
Keep up the good work!
