Halaqa with Imam Adéyínká "Muhammad" Mendes | The Book of Assistance | 11.7.2022

In this special halaqa, Imam Adéyínká "Muhammad" Mendes guides us on an inner exploration of the self, reminding us that without knowledge of the self, we cannot know God. He encouraged us to quietly reflect and recognize the beauty and light emanating from ourselves and from all of creation. He also shares his insights into the works of three great imams: Al-Haddad, Al-Ghazali, and Suyuti (may Allah have mercy on them all). These giants of Islamic scholarships continue to speak to us through their perceptive and heartfelt writings, which touch the very core of our identities as Muslims—individually and collectively.
