Hadith Purpose of Life Masjid Jannah & Afterlife Quran Taqwa Happiness Good Character

About this lecture

In this lecture, Sheikh Mohammed Faqih explores the Islamic concept of happiness, tracing it back to humanity's origins in Jannah and the purpose of our existence in this dunya. He outlines three major gateways to Jannah — faith with righteous deeds, taqwa and good character, and obedience to Allah and His Messenger — and closes with three practical, hadith-based steps every Muslim can take to earn a place in Jannah: frequenting the masjid, contributing to its building and maintenance, and reciting Ayatul Kursi after every prayer.

Shaykh Mohammed Faqih is the doctor of etiquettes and mannerisms. His style in fashion and stride in walk makes you say “that man’s fit to be president”. Shaykh Mohammed has melted the hearts with lessons in tazkiya, akhlaq, and even self-discovery and psychology. Shaykh Mohammed traces his roots back to the ancient city of Harar in the Horn of Africa. Originally from Yemen, his forefathers immigrated to East Africa and played a central role in the Islamic history of the region. He completed a B.A. in Islamic Studies from the Institute of Islamic and Arabic Sciences in America in Fairfax, VA, and graduated in Qur’an Memorization and Recitation from Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. He was the Imam at the Islamic Community Center of Laurel in Laurel, MD and at the Islamic Center of San Diego in San Diego, CA. He currently serves as Imam at the Islamic Institute of Orange County, otherwise known as Masjid Omar Farouk.
