Description of the Righteous (also has an article on the topic)

The Blessings of the Day of Ashura - this was great. Imam Zaid Shakir talks about the history of Ashura. the Quraysh used to fast for Ashura because they had committed a great sin and asked how to repent. Allah (t) told them to fast on the day of Ashura. When Muhammad (saws) went to Yathrib/Medina he noticed that the Jews fasted for Ashura as well. they said that this was because Ashura was the day God drowned Pharoah in the sea. in order to differentiate the Muslims from the Jews (and the Christians, i believe) Muhammad said that Muslims should also fast the day before or after Ashura. Imam Shakir then goes on to discuss the battle of Karbala http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Karbala and how all Muslims need to love the family of the Prophet... he mentions ahadith from Sunni sources.

salams everyone... i just wanted to throw some links up here ...

There Is No Calamity If There Is Certainty
by Shaykh Hamza Yusuf
RealAudio • MP3
22 minutes and 40 seconds

From the ID3 comments tag:
This talk was delivered for SBIA on Eid ul Adha (2006) at the Santa Clara County Fairgrounds on Wednesday, January 11th 2006. "Nothing in this world is calamity if you have certainty." - Shaykh Hamza Yusuf

It starts off rather standard fare, but gets really good (inspirational) in the end.

I had the ability to attend a lecture taught by the famous Muhammad Al-Shareef (Al Maghrib Institute, Khutbah.com, EmanRush.com) last night at a local masjid. The lecture had a lot of excellant points, but I didn't have paper or pen to take any notes down. Alhamdulillah a friend of mine did and she just emailed me her notes. Since they have a lot of good points, I'm posting them here. They are written like notes so hopefully people can still benefit from them.
