If one part of the body suffers, the rest of the body responds with wakefulness and fever." [Bukhari & Muslim]

REMINDER
The Quest for Virtuous Character is a concise yet profound treatise on the virtues of noble character, its defining signs, and the traits that contradict it. Drawing from the works of esteemed scholars such as Imam al-Ghazali, it offers thoughtful reflections on embodying praiseworthy qualities, deeply rooted in Islamic teachings.
This work was authored by Habib Muhammad al-Haddar (may Allah have mercy on him), a distinguished scholar, spiritual guide, and saint from the noble lineage of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. Renowned for his profound knowledge, wisdom, and piety, he was a shining light of Islamic scholarship and an exemplar of noble character. Habib Muhammad devoted his life to guiding people to Allah, nurturing future Muslim scholars, and sharing timeless wisdom.
The Quest for Virtuous Character was taught by Habib Muhammad al-Haddar to his daughter, Hababa Nur, who later passed it on to our esteemed teacher, Sayyida Hafsa Ba-Alawi.
The Quest for Virtuous Character with Sayyida Hafsa Ba-Alawi will begin on Saturday, December 21st, from 11:00 am to 12:30 pm at the Al-Maqasid Green Barn, in sha’ Allah.
This class will be taught in Sayyida Hafsa’s native Arabic and translated by Sayyida Nejma Davis.
It will be held three Saturdays each month, with the Wayfarers to God series taking place on the fourth Saturday, in sha’ Allah.

“Who responds to the distressed when they cry to Him, relieving ˹their˺ affliction, and ˹Who˺ makes you successors in the earth? Is it another god besides Allah?" [Quran 27:62] The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ has said, "The Ummah in their mutual love, mercy, and affection is like one body. If one part of the body suffers, the rest of the body responds with wakefulness and fever." [Bukhari & Muslim]
As believers, we never lose hope and we recognize that Allah's will is supreme. Even when the Prophet ﷺ faced the most debilitating challenges, he ﷺ turned to Allah constantly and sought only His support.
Join us as we gather on the auspicious day of Jumu’a to collectively make duʿa for our brothers and sisters in Palestine.

The Quest for Virtuous Character is a concise yet profound treatise on the virtues of noble character, its defining signs, and the traits that contradict it. Drawing from the works of esteemed scholars such as Imam al-Ghazali, it offers thoughtful reflections on embodying praiseworthy qualities, deeply rooted in Islamic teachings.
This work was authored by Habib Muhammad al-Haddar (may Allah have mercy on him), a distinguished scholar, spiritual guide, and saint from the noble lineage of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. Renowned for his profound knowledge, wisdom, and piety, he was a shining light of Islamic scholarship and an exemplar of noble character. Habib Muhammad devoted his life to guiding people to Allah, nurturing future Muslim scholars, and sharing timeless wisdom.
The Quest for Virtuous Character was taught by Habib Muhammad al-Haddar to his daughter, Hababa Nur, who later passed it on to our esteemed teacher, Sayyida Hafsa Ba-Alawi.
The Quest for Virtuous Character with Sayyida Hafsa Ba-Alawi will begin on Saturday, December 21st, from 11:00 am to 12:30 pm at the Al-Maqasid Green Barn, in sha’ Allah.

“Who responds to the distressed when they cry to Him, relieving ˹their˺ affliction, and ˹Who˺ makes you successors in the earth? Is it another god besides Allah?" [Quran 27:62] The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ has said, "The Ummah in their mutual love, mercy, and affection is like one body. If one part of the body suffers, the rest of the body responds with wakefulness and fever." [Bukhari & Muslim]
As believers, we never lose hope and we recognize that Allah's will is supreme. Even when the Prophet ﷺ faced the most debilitating challenges, he ﷺ turned to Allah constantly and sought only His support.
Join us as we gather on the auspicious day of Jumu’a to collectively make duʿa for our brothers and sisters in Palestine.
