    Ep 15 | Al-Qareeb | Names & Attributes of Allah | Sheikh Hazem Rajab

    In this powerful reminder, we reflect on one of the most beautiful Names of Allah: Al-Qareeb (The One Who Is Near). This lecture explores what it truly means that Allah is near to His creation, and how His nearness manifests through knowledge, mercy, help, and response to supplication. You will learn the difference between the general nearness of Allah—His complete knowledge and power over all things—and the special nearness reserved for sincere believers who strive to obey Him. The talk highlights practical ways to draw closer to Allah, including sujūd (prostration), fulfilling obligatory acts of worship, voluntary deeds, and qiyām al-layl. The lecture also reflects on Qur’anic stories and authentic hadith that demonstrate how Allah’s help comes when believers remain patient, steadfast, and fully reliant upon Him, even when worldly solutions seem impossible. From the story of Ṭālūt and Jālūt to the reassurance given to the Prophet ﷺ in the cave, we are reminded that Allah’s support is always near. Finally, this reminder emphasizes how understanding Allah as Al-Qareeb nurtures love, humility, sincerity in duʿāʾ, and constant mindfulness of Allah—both in public and in private. May Allah make us among those who draw near to Him and are granted His mercy, help, and response. Topics Covered: • The meaning of Allah’s Name Al-Qareeb • General vs. special nearness of Allah • How to draw closer to Allah • The power of duʿāʾ and qiyām al-layl • Divine help in times of hardship • Living with awareness of Allah’s nearness Please like, share, and subscribe for more beneficial reminders.

    Ep 14 | Ar-Razzaaq | Names & Attributes of Allah | Sheikh Hazem Rajab

    What is Rizq (provision) in Islam—and is it limited to money and wealth? In this powerful reminder, we explore the profound meaning of Rizq, the divine provision guaranteed by Allah, and reflect on two of His Beautiful Names: Ar-Razzaaq and Ar-Raziq. This talk clarifies common misconceptions about wealth, hardship, and Allah’s love, and explains why abundance is not a measure of faith, nor is difficulty a sign of divine displeasure. You will learn: • The difference between general rizq (given to all creation) and special rizq (guidance, faith, and beneficial knowledge) • Why rizq is far more than money—health, peace, family, contentment, and guidance are all forms of provision • How rizq is decreed by Allah and will reach every soul without exception • The balance between reliance upon Allah (tawakkul) and utilizing lawful means • Why seeking provision through haram means never increases what is written • How sins can deprive a person of barakah, while gratitude and taqwa open doors of unexpected provision This lecture is a reminder that Allah is patient, generous, and all-providing—even to those who disobey Him—and that the greatest provision of all is guidance and steadfastness upon the truth. If you are struggling with provision, uncertainty, or reliance upon Allah, this reminder will help realign your heart with trust, gratitude, and clarity. Listen until the end for practical lessons on tawakkul, work, patience, and contentment with Allah’s decree.
