51 GROUND-UP INITIATIVES guide2goodness @guide2goodness Lore of Light This 3-part series with Ustaz Mukhtar and Ustaz Muhsin Hamzah in semester 2, aimed to motivate us in our practice of taṣawwuf through studying the spiritual dimensions of worship, the lives of ʾawliyāʾ and the practice of ziyārah. We therefore hope that this series inculcates a greater presence of heart in our efforts to become good Muslims with a strong iman and good akhlāq. The first topic was, ‘Rays of Righteousness: Learning from the Lives of the Awliya’ by Ustaz Muhsin Hamzah where the aim was to gain inspiration from the life of Sultanul ʾawliyāʾ Shaykh ʾAbdul Qādir Jīlanī (q.s).

The final topic to conclude the whole year was, ‘Beacons of Light: The Sunnah of Ziyarah ‘Awliya’. A very beautiful session with remembrance of Allah and the Prophet ﷺand the ‘Awliya. We had a quiet Ziyarah where we connected to the ‘Awliya by constantly reciting ‘la ilaha illAllah’ in our hearts. At the end of the session there was a short reflection where we learnt from one another.
