Hadrat Jaber ibn Abdullah states that a believer in God and the Day of Judgement should never be alone with a non-mahram woman. Any meeting should occur in the presence of a mahram (close male relative). This principle applies to both meetings and travel. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) emphasized that when a man and a non-mahram woman are alone, a third party – Shaytan – is present. Hadrat Ibn Abbas narrates a similar instruction: a man should not be alone with a woman unless a mahram accompanies her, and a woman should not travel without a mahram.

The Quran possesses two levels of understanding. The first is a surface-level comprehension, readily accessible like oil floating on water after a tanker leak. This represents the primary lessons and wisdom directly present within the text. The deeper level, however, is immeasurable, akin to the depths of the ocean, requiring profound exploration to fully grasp its complexities. Just as measuring the ocean's depths is a challenge, so too is comprehending the full extent of the Quran’s wisdom.

This lecture explores the historical development and varying scholarly opinions regarding the Taraweeh prayer. It details how the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) practiced Taraweeh, focusing on the practice of eight rak'ats followed by Tahajjud. The discussion highlights the practice established during the Caliphate of Umar ibn al-Khattab, which introduced twenty rak'ats performed immediately after Isha prayer with a single Imam. The lecture clarifies that the four major schools of Sunni Islamic jurisprudence – Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi'i, and Hanbali – concur with the practice established by Umar. It also addresses the differing views of the Ahl-e-Hadith, who maintain the original practice of eight rak'ats. The lecture emphasizes the importance of adhering to the Sunnah of the Prophet and the rightly guided Caliphs, as well as the scholarly consensus on the practice of twenty rak'ats, which is observed in the two holy mosques of Mecca and Medina. The lecture also acknowledges Ahmad ibn Hanbal as a prominent scholar and the importance of his Musnad.
