Tawfique Chowdhury – Prophet’s Advice to Ibn Abbas

About this lecture

In this lecture, Sheikh Tawfique Chowdhury delivers a detailed explanation of Hadith 19 from Imam Nawawi's *Forty Hadith* — the famous advice of the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) to the young Ibn Abbas. Drawing on Quranic verses, hadith, and the stories of Yunus, Firaun, and the orphans of Surah Al-Kahf, the Sheikh unpacks five profound teachings: protecting the rights of Allah, finding Allah's presence in every situation, asking only Allah for help, knowing Allah in times of ease, and trusting fully in divine decree. The lecture is a compelling reminder that true protection, guidance, and success come only through sincere obedience to Allah and reliance upon Him alone.
