Start Your Seeking Knowledge Journey Today: https://www.rahmaniyyah.com Ustadh AbdulRahman Hassan explains the complete Lamiyyah of Imam Ibn al-Wardi rahimahullah, the famous poem of counsel he titled Nasihat al-Ikhwan wa Murshidat al-Khillan, advice delivered with the tenderness of a father to his son. 📖 It opens with leaving behind songs and love poetry, then the first great wasiyyah: seek knowledge and do not be lazy, for how distant goodness is from the people of laziness. Where are the kings who ruled the earth, the builders of the pyramids, the fortresses and the palaces? They perished, and what remained is what remains of you: your deeds. The advices continue: renounce the dunya, for it raises the lowly and lowers the noble; never be deceived by your lineage or your children; never kiss the hands of the unworthy for gifts and positions, for whoever pays you expects your silence; deal gently with people and move away from the neighbour who harms you; beware the ruler and refuse positions of leadership and judging even when they are offered; and keep moving through the earth, for still water stagnates and the moon only became full by travelling the sky. 🤲 Seven centuries old, and describing our time: an age where only the one with money is respected. A manual for keeping your deen and dignity inside it. 0:00 Precap 1:28 Introduction 2:54 Leave Music, Romance And Idle Talk 10:02 Abandon Intoxicants 11:16 Taqwa And Who The Real Man Is 13:39 Submitting To The Shariah 16:46 Death Is Decreed: Where Are The Nations? 21:25 "My Son, Listen": The Advices Begin 22:15 First Advice: Seek Knowledge, And What Helps You Attain It 32:10 Never Kiss A Hand For Wealth 35:16 The Sweetest And The Bitterest Of Words 36:30 Kisra's Kingdom And A Loaf Of Bread: Honouring The Nafs 42:19 Second Advice: Do Not Grieve Over The Dunya 44:48 How Contentment Is Attained 48:17 Honour The Poor With What Allah Has Given You 50:20 Third Advice: Lineage Is Not Your Worth 56:14 Fourth Advice: Conceal Your State And Earn Halal 1:00:08 Fifth Advice: Guard Your Tongue Regarding The Scholars 1:02:19 No One Escapes Critics, And The Tale-bearer 1:04:43 Sixth Advice: Neighbours And Dealing With People 1:06:21 Seventh Advice: Refuse Leadership And Judgeship 1:13:43 Eighth Advice: Shorten Your Hopes In The Dunya 1:15:42 The Signs Of Short Hopes: Detachment, Inner Focus, Travel 1:22:35 Ninth Advice: Do Not Fault The Counsel 1:24:10 The Poet Describes His Time, When Only Wealth Is Honoured Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/abdulrahmanhassanofficial25 Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/cw/AMARofficial Telegram: https://t.me/+c87I9vy6kqkxOWZk YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@rahmaniyyahofficial WhatsApp: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VbBlpi2CHDyjG4ZI1I0g X (Formerly Twitter): https://x.com/UstAbdulrahman #abdulrahmanhassan #AlMadrasatuArRahmaniyyah #AMAR
