Hadrat Abu Zharr (ra). Session 1 Jundub ibn Junaadah (ra) The Ascetic  Abu Zharr (ra) was tall and dark skinned (Sifatus Safwah). Abu Zharr (ra) saw all of his children pass away during his lifetime. Abu Dharr (ra), 'All praise belongs to Allah SWT who takes them away from this temporary home and stores them as a treasure in the eternal abode' (Abu Nuaym). The little children who advance forward are the free roamers of The Garden of Eden.

Welcome O Seeker of Knowledge...' I did not extract knowledge from Ataa (rah) except by being kind to him (Ibn Juray rah). 'Whoever treads a path in search of knowledge then Allah SWT makes easy a path for him towards Paradise' (Abo Dawood).

Welcome O Seeker of Knowledge The Value of Knowledge O Adam (as) inform them of their names, Surah 2 v33. Adam (as) teaches the Angels. Shaitan bothers not with those without sacred knowledge. If you did not sin, I ﷺ would fear for you something worse than that - self conceit (Baihaqi). O Abu Darr (ra), if you go anywhere to learn 1 verse of the Quran it is better for you than 100 units of voluntary prayer. If you go anywhere to acquire one aspect of Islamic knowledge it is better for you than performing 1,000 units of voluntary prayer irrespective of whether it is practised or not (Ibn Majah). If the knowledge learnt is acted upon then that is better than the whole world and what it contains... (ibn Abee Shahbah). 'Welcome to the seeker of knowledge The Angels surround the seeker of knowledge and shade him with their wings one on top of the other until they reach the lowest heavens. This is out of the love for what he sees' (Ibn majah). Good deeds- Faith & The Anticipation of Reward. Abu Bakr (ra),

7 Earths & The Fire Under The Sea. The same amount of rainfall per year. The Eclipse, A sign of Allah SWT. Zaghlool An-Najjar, describing the 7 earths, 1 The Solid core 2 The outer Liquid Core 3 The lower mantle 4 The Middle mantle 5 The upper mantle of the lithosphere earth 6 The lower lithosphere 7 The crust of the earth / upper lithosphere 'And by the sea that is set ablaze, Surah At Toor 52 v6. The Holy Ka'ba was placed over the water on 4 pillars 2,000 years before this world was created, then the earth spread out from beneath the House (Tabaree).

I ask you, O Allah (SWT)! To be pleased after whatever decision is passed (Ahmad). A heart cannot find security, success, pleasure, facility, sweetness, tranquility or serenity except through worshipping Allah SWT, Ibn Taymiah. Usury has 70 gateways and Shirik is similar to that (Bazzar). Whoever is put back by an evil omen has courted Shirik (ibn Wahb). Verily good deeds remove evil deeds, Surah Hud 11 v114. To speak of Allah SWT blessings is gratitude and leaving this is ingratitude (Ahmad). To affirm and recognise the Creator is an instinct implanted into the soul of every human. The Slugs are incapable of making supplictions.

Quran Class Surah 25 v21-25 Session 6  70 of the Bani Israel see Allah SWT and are raised up after death, view Surah 2 v55. The likeness of the deeds of the unbelievers are like scattered dust which is seen through a ray of light Allah SWT descends during the last part of the night - here Allah SWT has attributed himself to honour that time.

The verse was revealed due to the people of As-Suffah. And if Allah SWT were to extend the provision profusely to His servants they would transgress in the land but He sends down by measure what He wills, Surah Ash Shoora 42 v27. For some wealth is appropriate as being poor would damage them Others are good with poverty as wealth would damage them For some health is good as illness would spoil them Others are good with illness as health would damage them I SWT alone manage the affairs of My servants for indeed I SWT am Aware and watchful over them (Baihaqi). 'Do not become heedless that you forget about The Mercy of your Lord' (Ahmad). 'Allah SWT is critical of incapacity' (Ahmad). 'The most incapable person is he who does not make supplication' (Ibn Hibaan).

Knowledge - Writing - Creation Verily Allah SWT knew before He wrote and Wrote before He created. Hence, the creation proceeds according to His Knowledge and Writing (Baihaqi). Thus the writing predated the creation. The birds fly be preordainment (Ahmad). 'Our record speaks about you with truth for We indeed replicate all that what you did', Surah Al Jaathiyah 45 v29. ...A part of happiness of the son of Adam (as) is contentment after the decree...(Tirmidhi).

The Justice of The Messenger ﷺ Abo Jahl refuses to pay for camels he took from a Yemenee. Abo Jahl, saw such clear signs of Prophethood yet dies in unbelief.

The Paragon of Mercy On the Last Day the gate keeper of paradise will say to the people, 'Verily Allah SWT has ordered me to give the Keys of Paradise to Muhammad ﷺ' (Mudaarij Nuboowah). A captured deer speaks to The Messenger ﷺ seeking help, Jibreel (as) descends. The Bag of Butter at Tabook.

The Beauty of The Messenger ﷺ. The Messenger ﷺ is described as, 'A sun emitting a soothing most beneficial guiding light', Surah 33 v46. The physical world requires a physical sun thus the spiritual realm also needs a spiritual sun for its survival, that is, The Messenger ﷺ. It is a primary obligation of this Ummah to believe The Messenger ﷺ to be Allah SWT greatest blessing. His ﷺ Blessed hair would kiss his Blessed shoulders, Baraa ibn Aazib (ra) (Baihaqi). His ﷺ Blessed ears would appear from under his curls like two shining stars appearing from out of the dark, Hadrat Ayesha (raa) (Ibn Asaakir). ... He ﷺ was a gifted orator whose words were neither too few nor too many... Indeed you would never be tired of looking at Him ﷺ, Umm Ma'bad (raa) (TabaranI).

The Imminent birth of The Messenger ﷺ. When Aamina was close to giving birth, Allah SWT told the Angels to open the doors to the skies & heavens and to congratulate one another (Abu Nuaym). On the eve of the birth of The Messenger ﷺ, Allah SWT plants 70k Kastoree trees around the banks of the River of Kawthar and from the fruits the entire paradise was filled with scent (Abu Nuaym). The Holy Kaba beams with illumination, speaks and sways in joy. The flag of honour is placed upon the Holy Kaba.

The group nearer to the Truth, which means both were following the Truth be it so, one more than the other.
