Habib Umar bin Hafiz, may Allah subhana wa ta’ala elevate and protect him, began a weekly class on tazkiya (purification). The class began with the reading of “Red Sulfur and the Greatest Elixir,” (al-Kibrit al-Ahmar wa ‘l-Iksir al-Akbar) by Habib ‘Abdullah bin Abu Bakr al-’Aydarus.

This class will be conducted on a weekly basis, insha Allah, on Sundays at 11 AM – 12 PM Makkah time (GMT+3). To ask questions during or after lessons, please read more at Shaykh Abdul Karim Yahya’s blog - Red Sulfur and the Greatest Elixir

You can also download the video (MP4 format) or the audio MP3 from Habib Umar’s website.
