"Hadith Qudsi" are sayings of the blessed Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) known to have been revealed to him directly by God, whether through revelation or dreams. Join us as we explore these hadith in our new class: "God's Words Through the Chosen One", with instructor Mohammed Tayssir Safi! Dive into this sea of knowledge with us, and learn the difference between Divine Revelation in the Qur'an and in Hadith Qudsi.

Our first session we covered the following Hadith:

"O My servants! I have forbidden oppression for Myself, and I have made it forbidden amongst you, so do not oppress one another. O My servants, all of you are astray except those whom I have guided, so seek guidance from Me and I shall guide you. O My servants, all of you are hungry except those whom I have fed, so seek food from Me and I shall feed you. O My servants, all of you are naked except those whom I have clothed, so seek clothing from Me and I shall clothe you. O My servants, you sommit sins by day and by night, and I forgive all sins, so seek forgiveness from Me and I shall forgive you. O My servants, you will not attain harming Me so as to harm Me, and you will not attain benefitting Me so as to benefit Me. O My servants, if the first of you and the last of you, and the humans of you and the jinn of you, were all as pious as the most pious heart of any individual amongst you, then this would not increase My Kingdom an iota. O My servants, if the first of you and the last of you, and the humans of you and the jinn of you, were all as wicked as the most wicked heart of any individual amongst you, then this would not decrease My Kingdom an iota. O My servants, if the first of you and the last of you, and the humans of you and the jinn of you, were all to stand together in one place and ask of Me, and I were to give everyone what he requested, then that would not decrease what I Possess, except what is decreased of the ocean when a needle is dipped into it. O My servants, it is but your deeds that I account for you, and then recompense you for. So he who finds good, let him praise Allah, and he who finds other than that, let him blame no one but himself." (Muslim)

God's Words Through the Chosen One - Session 1

"Knowing oneself is a gateway to knowing your Lord." So what's distracting us from getting to know Allah? Listen to our last "Living Right" session from Ta'leef Chicago with Hisham Mahmoud, reflecting on the 99 names of Allah.

He says, "Getting to know the 99 names of Allah, is a mirror for the soul and the embodiment of that mirror is the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)." In this session, he discusses the meaning of one of the 99 names of Allah: "Al-Quddus."
