Talib Abdur-Rashid – Seize the Time & Seek the Means to Allah

About this lecture

In this lecture, Sheikh Talib Abdur-Rashid explores what it truly means to draw near to Allah, drawing on the teachings of classical scholars like Ash-Shawkani to define nearness through Iman and Taqwa. He emphasizes that the acts of worship concentrated in Ramadan — prayer, fasting, Quran recitation, and charity — are the practical means of approaching Allah, and challenges believers to move beyond merely professing love for Allah to actively demonstrating that love through sincere worship and submission.
