Salam alaikum and Jummah and Mawlid Mubarak!

This week I read and discuss the importance of cultivating the love of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in Islam, reading from Ash-Shifa of Qadi ‘Iyad, translated by British scholar, Aisha Bewley, Part 2, Chapter 2, Sections 2-4 (p.224-229).

This is a modern English translation of a classical text by Qadi ‘Iyad Ibn Musa Al-Yahsubi, who lived in the 6th Century AH (12th Century CE). In true scholarly fashion, Qadi ‘Iyad himself heavily references the Quran, hadith, and other classical texts.
