This video discusses the different belief systems within Islam, including the concept of a wali and their relationship to Allah. It also covers the idea of miracles and how they are often used to confirm a prophet's message. The video concludes with a discussion of tawakkul, dua, and hikam, and provides examples of how to achieve certainty in one's beliefs.

00:00:00 Imam Sawi discusses the definition of a miracle and discusses how some miracles are proofs of a prophet's Prophethood, while other miracles are not. He also notes that not every miracle is a proof of Prophethood.
00:05:00 According to Sawi, there are different types of "wali" (guides, protectors, caretakers), and the miracles associated with them are considered honorific. He refutes a claim that some miracles are performed by the angels, and provides Quranic and hadith evidence to support his position.
00:10:00 The Islamic belief system has five degrees of willfulness (or closeness to God), each with its own consequences. The first degree is basic obedience, which is necessary for success in life. The second degree is the willfulness of faith, which recognizes and obeys God. The third degree is the willfulness of works, which follows the commands of God and performs good deeds. The fourth degree is the wilaya of proximity, which refers to the closeness of a servant to God through good deeds and avoidance of wrongdoing. The fifth degree is the wilaya of election, which refers to God's choice of certain individuals for salvation.
00:15:00 This video discusses the beliefs of Islam regarding the relationship between a wali and their god. A wali is someone who has a strong connection to their god and lives accordingly to the best of their ability, but they don't necessarily have to come in all forms. The prophet, salallahu isallam, said it may well be or how often it is how often it is that someone disheveled and dusty with just worn out clothing is able to swear an oath by allah.
00:20:00 The video discusses the concepts of constancy and obedience, and how these qualities can help one attain beholding of Allah. It also mentions the importance of honoring miracles, and the difference between an honorific miracle and a precursor to prophethood.
00:25:00 Shaykh Faraz Rabbani explains that, according to Islamic beliefs, outwardly righteous actions are the facilitative miracles that happen to believers, while the insulting miracle is one that happens to a sunnah of Allah. He goes on to say that, while these miracles are not connected to the claim of prophethood, they are still affirmable and rational.
00:30:00 The speaker explains that there are many miracles mentioned in the Quran, some of which are detailed out in hadith. However, not all prophets had miracles, and some of what occurred from the miracles of the sahaba (the companions of Muhammad) and the larger commentaries were not prophecies. The speaker also mentions an incident in which a lion came to a taberin (a righteous believer) and the taberin was able to guide him to safety. He concludes by saying that most sects have either denied or considered miracles to be far-fetched, and that it is because those who do not experience them cannot understand or appreciate them.
00:35:00 According to Shaykh Faraz Rabbani, the Prophet Muhammad did not perform miracles for the purpose of establishing his prophethood, but rather to confirm the validity of his message to his followers. Miracles, however, do occur and can be considered a sign of God's approval of a prophet's message.
00:40:00 The Shaykh discusses the differences between the beliefs of the prophets and disbelievers, and explains that even disbelievers can benefit from supplicating to Allah.
00:45:00 In this video, Shaykh Faraz Rabbani discusses the reality of dua (asking Allah for help). He notes that dua is a form and a reality, and that the aim of religion is to be healthy and achieve salvation in this life.
00:50:00 The video discusses Islamic beliefs related to tawakkul (reliance on Allah), dua (prayer), and hikam (rituals). The Shaykh discusses the importance of making sure one's prayers are directed to Allah alone, and recommends the book Brilliant by Sheikh Islam Zakaria Ansari. He also mentions an on-demand course on dua that is available online. Finally, the Shaykh provides an index of hadith topics covered in his book Kansa Amal.
00:55:00 The video discusses the different beliefs held by Muslims, including the belief in Allah, the belief in the prophets, the belief in religious rituals, and the idea of predestination. The video also discusses the importance of having certainty in one's beliefs, and provides example prayers and actions intended to achieve this. Finally, the video provides a brief overview of the Islamic concept of zikr, or devotional prayer.
