Yahya Rhodus – Passing Through the Dunya

About this lecture

In this Jumu'ah khutbah, Shaykh Yahya Rhodus reflects on a profound supplication narrated by the Prophet ﷺ in the collection of Imam al-Nasa'i — a du'a said to have been made by every prophet, angel, and righteous servant — unpacking its petitions for a meaningful life, a good death, truthfulness, frugality, the beatific vision, and a longing to meet Allah. Drawing on the lives of great Islamic scholars and vivid real-world examples, the Shaykh urges believers to detach from the transient world, cultivate sincerity and quality of heart, and embrace the eternal perspective that is the essence of the deen.
