In this especially powerful session, Shaykh Yahya discusses the next character trait of Futuwwa mentioned in Imam Muhammad ibn al-Husayn al Sulami’s (d. 412 AH, 1034 CE) book, Kitab al-Futuwwa: To be generous of soul and pure of heart. Someone may not be a person of knowledge or worship or be able to do what other people do, but acquiring this trait is a door for everyone to draw near to Allaah, Ta’ala. Several relevant ahadith are discussed and a particularly beneficial du’a is provided.
