The Encompassing Mercy in Muharram | Shaykh Faraz Khan
Channel: Muslim Community Center - MCC East Bay
Date: 10/09/2019

Shaykh Faraz Khan delivers a Khutbah about the sacred month of Muharram as an opportunity to return to one's Lord and ask for Tawba (forgiveness) when God's forgiveness and mercy extends and manifests more to His servants on earth.

Shaykh Faraz also urges us to do more introspection of our own faults. He calls out a travesty of our time when keyboard warriors exhibit a new level of disrespect towards people of knowledge and wisdom by deconstructing their words without thought and understanding.

From 2004-2011, he resided in Amman, Jordan, where he studied traditional Islamic sciences with distinguished scholars, and received diplomas and teaching licenses (ijāzāt) upon completion. He has translated classical Arabic texts on theology, law, and ethics. He served as an instructor at the Qasid Institute and at SeekersGuidance, and also teaches for the Deen Intensive Foundation.

Muharram is a month in which we are taught to excel in worship and good deeds. It is a month of historical significance when Noah, upon him be peace, was delivered from the flood and the people of Moses, upon him be peace, were freed from the oppression of the pharaoh. It is a month of great sorrow as the grandson of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, Imam Al-Husayn, the prince of the believers, may God be pleased with him, was martyred in the tragic massacre of Karbala while standing against injustice. It continues to be a month of sincere reflection for those who believe in God and seek to honor the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and his family, may God be pleased with them all.
