Keys to Bringing Your Faith to Life
With Shaykh Faraz Rabani
The Messenger of Allah (May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:
"Faith has sixty-odd, or seventy-odd branches, the highest and best of which is to declare that there is no god but Allah, and the lowest of which is to remove something harmful from a road. Shyness, too, is a branch of faith." [Bukhari & Muslim]
