'The Legacy of Imam Abu Hanifah' - Delivered by Shaykh Riyadh ul Haq on Saturday January 30th 2010 at The Rex Centre (Birmingham, UK) 

Video: https://youtu.be/KSaUlA8jCjA

Imām Abū Ḥanīfah is often referred to by the title al-Imām al-Aʿẓam, the Greatest Imām, for he left a great legacy in the science of fiqh. Despite this, the scholarship of Imām Abū Ḥanīfah is repeatedly attacked and scrutinised. For example, it is often suggested that he did not know Arabic and also lacked knowledge of ḥadīth. Thus, his credibility as an Imām is questioned and his fiqh (school of thought) are considered by some to be baseless and in contradiction to the Qurʾān and ḥadīth.

Imām Sufyān al-Thawrī said about him, ‘Anyone who hates Abū Ḥanīfah or speaks ill of him can only be one of two people, either he is completely ignorant or he is envious of him’. Imām al-Aaʿmash, a well-known Muḥaddith, once addressed a gathering of jurists and said, ‘O assembly of jurists, you are the doctors and we are the pharmacists and you O, Abū Ḥanīfah , you have taken both.’
  
A poet read in his honour, ‘They envied the young man when they could not keep up with his pace. So people are his adversaries and his enemies like the co-wives of a beautiful and fair maid who say of her that she is ugly merely out of spite and envy. So they are unable to withstand his greatness, his piety and his knowledge. And when there is no argument then the next stage is character assassination’.

Find out more about this towering individual and the true legacy he left behind and what he bequeathed the Ummah by listening to this highly motivational and extremely educational speech.

The Humility of the Sahabah

Tazkiyah: Nurturing the Soul - Delivered by Shaykh Riyadh ul Haq on 13th March 2016 at Al Kawthar Academy, Leicester (UK)

Video: https://youtu.be/YWCNi9SYFb4

Allah has created Man in a very unique form. He has given man intelligence and blown into him a spirit which makes him human. When Allah instructed the angels to prostrate to Adam (A.S) they were not just prostrating to his physical body, but rather the spirit within him. We all possess this soul yet it is often given little attention.

We indulge in many physical pleasures in this life, often neglecting our soul and depriving it of nourishment. Our souls are important, just as our bodies, in being sustained and satiated. If the body is created from the Earth then its nourishment comes from the Earth. Our souls are heavenly and therefore its nourishment must also be celestial and heavenly.

Find out from this talk the importance of the soul and how we can look after it, ensuring that it remains nourished with a close connection to Allah.

The Purpose of Life
Delivered by Shaykh Riyadh ul Haq on Friday 27th January 2017 at Al Kawthar Academy, Leicester (UK)

Video: https://youtu.be/8Fb1cqSqC-U

We may understand the purpose of our existence, but in practice it may be easy for us to become forgetful of our end goal. Allah has mentioned that we have not been created in vain and that we shall be returned to Him, but how do we maintain that level of consciousness so that we do not stray?

Taqwa is the key to maintaining a focus on this end result. Without consciousness of Allah we may often stray and become neglectful of our actions. By being aware of Allah at all times will enable us to achieve our true purpose in this life and be content with our akhirah. 

Find out more in this talk about the purpose of our life and what may happen to us if we continue to live without purpose.

Below are some of the topics for this talk:
- Why do we exist?
- What is ‘ibādah?
- The dunya compared to the akhirah
- Is life a series of accidents?
- The last verse to be revealed.
- Bereavements Rasulullah ﷺ witnessed from his own family.
- The story of Ibrahim ibn Adham
- The Pagan Arabs belief about the afterlife
- Imam Zainul Abideen, the great grandson of the Prophet ﷺ

The Purpose of Life

Love for the Prophet ﷺ
Delivered by Shaykh Riyadh ul Haq on Friday 8th December 2017 at Al Kawthar Academy, Leicester (UK)

Video: https://youtu.be/nOFJ2--KZ3g

It is part of complete faith for a believer to have love for the Prophet ﷺ to the extent that he should love him more than himself, his family and the rest of mankind. This love should not just be in a person’s speech, but should also be reflected in their actions and obedience to the Prophet ﷺ. People tend to make sacrifices when in love, often sacrificing the connection they had with others. The highest form of love is detailed in this talk as explained by Allah and his Rasool ﷺ. 

Love for an individual usually means that a person loves everything associated to the beloved. For this reason a person should be careful where they place their love so that it leads them towards Allah and not away from him. 

This talk finalises by showing how the sahabah went above and beyond their love for the Prophet ﷺ; not just loving him as a friend or a husband, but as a Nabi of Allah.

Below are some of the topics contained within this talk:
- The sacrifices a person makes for love
- Why should we love the Prophet ﷺ?
- Love for the Prophet ﷺ being part of faith
- Tasting the sweetness of Iman
- The wives of the Prophet ﷺ loving him as a Nabi
- Proof of love for the Prophet ﷺ is in obedience
- Abu Dharr's desire to be with the Prophet ﷺ
- A dua seeking the love of Allah and his Messenger ﷺ
