Run to Allah: Tawbah & the True Seeker
We were created to seek Allah, and to return “home.” In this Pearls 2024 reminder, Shaykh Mokhtar Maghraoui teaches the path of the true seeker: ṣidq (truthfulness), riḍā (contentment), ṣabr (steadfastness), ḥayā’ (reverent modesty), and tawbah naṣūḥ (sincere repentance). “Fafirru ilā llāh — Run to Allah.” May we be travelers who never stop.
