Said Rageah - Race For Righteousness

About this lecture

In this powerful lecture delivered at the Al-Manar International Tolerance Convention in Dubai, Sheikh Said Rageah explores what it truly means to race towards the forgiveness and pleasure of Allah. Drawing on a profound hadith about Allah's closeness to His servants, Sheikh Rageah reminds the audience that competing for righteousness doesn't require grand gestures — a sincere smile, a small act of charity, good character with neighbours, and kindness to all of creation are all pathways to Jannah. He concludes with the moving story of the Ansari man whose secret to paradise was simply that he went to sleep every night with a clean heart, having forgiven everyone who had ever wronged him.
