Jumu'ah Live: The Season Of Abraham

In the spirit of Eidul Adha we will address a related topic today. We will return to "Yusuf and HIs 3 Shirts" next week with the first part on "The Second Shirt", insha'Allah.

"And the seventh level is Ibrahim our father, another father, our second father Abraham and this level in the development or ascension or growth pattern for the intellect, showing the growth pattern for the intellect in its interaction with material world.  It cannot have any growth unless it has been in the ground.  In order for a seed to grow, you put the seed in the ground.  The seed has to go in the matter and then it can have life.  This tells us that man’s mind has to impregnate the matter the knowledge body of matter.  It has to go in there and then he can have growth, life.  So anything that make us separate our life from this material world its a shirk and its designed to deny us our life whether intentionally or not, its designed to deny us our real life our true life." Imam Mohammed (ra) "Ramadan Retreat Randolph, Virginia 1999"
