Futuwwa (Spiritual Chivalry)

Religion & Spirituality


In this seventh lecture on Futuwwa (spiritual chivalry), Shaykh Yahya first discusses the particular provision that different aspects of our being (i.e., physical body, mind, spiritual heart, and spirit) need to thrive. He then looks at two traits of Futuwwa mentioned in Imam Muhammad ibn al-Husayn al Sulami’s (d. 412 AH, 1034 CE) book, Kitab al-Futuwwa, that demonstrate selflessness: (1) Maintaining old relationships and (2) Keeping friends’ interests at heart and caring for one’s neighbors.
