Zero of Rasulullah sallallahu discover is pretty much agreed
upon by the majority of Allah ma there's just very few people like
him to take me etc who
disagreed with that. They said you should go there to visit the
masjid and not the grave the grave should not be your intention,
because that is wrong.
And they take them because of a misunderstanding of a particular
Hadith. The Prophet sallallahu sallam said this and I'll say the
Hadith to you, and you try to understand what you think it
means. led to shut the rehab. It Allah, Allah Tala Fatima Sergent.
The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that you should not
make an organised travel law to shut the * so you should not
tie your animals in a particular way put reins on them and to, you
know, make a preparation to go somewhere except to three
messages.
There's only three mustards where you can actually prepare and
organize to go and you'll get something out of that. That is
mocha mocha Rama, muscle haram Masjid Nabawi Masjid Luxor.
Now clearly what this means is if I live in Clapton,
and for some reason, I believe that for me to come to this
masjid, or to go to Regent's Park, or East London Mosque, or wherever
it is, and I'll get more reward for doing that,
then I'm wrong. Because you should not do that. You won't get any
benefit from going specially to any other massage except three
massage.
Right? You won't get any reward for doing that. Your local Masjid
is where you get the most reward because that's your Masjid that
has the right over you. That's where you should be praying. Of
course, if you've got to close mustards, then you've got a
choice.
But that's what it means. It's as clear as that.
Bismillah al Rahman al Rahim Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa
salatu salam ala and mobile Ruthie Ramadan Lila Alameen WA. He was
happy about Rocco seldom at the Sleeman cathedral, Eli AMI Dean
another.
This is the seventh section of this large poem.
This is about the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
ascension.
One of the greatest miracles of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi
wasallam was his night to journey from Makkah. Makara Rama to
Jerusalem and from Jerusalem up to the seven heavens.
So he says, yeah, how you ramen? Ye memulai funa sir Hatter who Sir
Ian we're photocall moto Neil, a Nokia Russo me woman who told
Cobra leamore Activating women who are near metal Rozema the more
than me, Sarita mean haram in Leyland Illa haram in camera

Lila me had either
shot one limo stubbington minute dinner we went to American limo
steamy, hot taco llama calm and Bill Edo Fetty is new D to be
rough, a mythical mofro Delight me.
So, he says, oh, best of those whose courtyard is sought by the
needy. They run or write the backs of tireless camels. Oh, greater
sign for those who seek to learn our greatest grace for those who
seek to gain. You rose by night from sanctuary to Sanctuary. As
the full moon travels through the firmament of dark and through the
night euros until you gain the stage of tubos length hinder to
never reached or hoped for. They're all of the profits gave
you precedence, the messengers to as servants give way to their
master, you broach the seven tiered skies with them behind you
in a position where you are the standard bearer until your
closeness left no space for others on the quest, no summit for others
to attain. And then he continues. So first, he starts this off by
actually saying, Yeah, hi Rahman, Yemen, iPhone Assata, which is a
form of address to Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
So it's, you can say that this is a poetic Stellata that he's doing
where he's actually calling out to Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi
wasallam in this poetic form,
but this calling out is actually praised for Salalah cellulose and
it's a figure of speech is the way it's done. So he says, Oh, the one
who those who seek good
seek virtue.
You're the one whose courtyard whose yard whose place whose abode
where you are interned.
Those people who want good, they seek to come. They intend to come
to you. That's where anybody who goes to Makkah mukarram I haven't
until now heard of anybody who's gone to mechanical Rama not gone
to Madina Munawwara
generally we always go to Madina Munawwara as well. And there's a
reason we go there to benefit. Sir Ian, Will fotomoto Anil Anakinra
Swami, people come walking and running. He puts that before
coming on an animal because walking to the whole domain for
your Hydra ombre and for your car is superior to going on an animal
or going in some kind of vehicle or another form of transport. Will
FOCA Moton in a Nokia Russo me and also on the backs of Enoch.
Anybody know what Enoch is?
It's a very interesting it's a plural of now cotton. Now cotton
means a she camel. So Enoch is a plural of that.
A Rousseau me
tireless Sheikha most that never tire because that's the way they
are.
So people come from far and wide. They're coming by walking, they're
coming in other other ways. They come to look for you.
So what he says here, then he says, The one who himself is the
greatest of science for those who are looking for science, who
understand science, we take lessons from science, and not only
is he the same, but also the Prophet sallallahu Sallam is the
greatest bounty and Nirma Ultima he is the greatest bounty for the
one who seeks bounties for the one who's looking for the best virtue
and the best bounty that he could have on this earth. The Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is the greatest bounties sir I mean, how
do I mean Leyland Isla Holloman, you went from one haram one
sanctuary to another sanctuary at night. Come are several bird
roofie dodgy middle salami, just like the moon it goes through dark
nights and illuminates wherever those dark nights as it goes.
And then he says, and then you continue to ascend and to rise
until you
achieved a very high status, a very high maqam a very high
station that was closer than two bows length,
which could not be achieved by anybody else, not even hope to be
achieved, but you got that stage.
All the profits, they put you forward.
All the prophets they put you forward. Because what happened
when the Prophet sallallahu Sallam reached mercy Luxor, all the other
prophets had also been made to assemble down there and
congregation so they're in the masjid. Everybody's standing back.
What should we do now? Who is going to lead the prey? They all
know that they have to do some Knuffle prayer. Who is going to
lead the prayer so they are looking around who's going to lead
the prayer they're all wondering, you know, there's, you can see
this 10 On Demand, they will wondering who's going to lead the
prayer who should be put forward Gibreel Ali Salam came and he took
Muhammad Salah recently putting forward
though he's the last of the prophets to come and he's the he's
the child of many offspring, great grand child of many of the
prophets.
They all put him forward just like servants give way to their master.
And then he carries on. So let's just look at these in a bit more
detail. Just like Allah subhanaw taala mentions in the Quran was in
fineness, the bill Hajj. He told Ibrahim Ali salam to announce
after Ibrahim Ali Salam made the house of Allah subhanho wa Taala
and Ismar Isla de salam after the raise the house, ALLAH SubhanA wa
Tada said, you go and make the announcement, he said, Who's going
to listen to me is not not many people here. He said, what other
than fineness? It's your responsibility to make the
announcement announcement, and we'll get it to people.
In those days, you could hardly ever Fathom words reaching so far
away. But today, it's easy. You say something here and it can be
broadcast around the whole world. If it gets on to CNN or BBC or
something like that. It is quite, I mean, subhanAllah it makes it so
much easier for us to understand these things. Yeah, to
the prophets, Allah, Allah subhanho wa Taala says, the infant
nursery will Hajia Touka region will either call the door meeting
to them in Cooley, Fujinami, they're going to come they're
going to come walking. They're going to come on animals means of
conveyance. They're going to come from every corner of the world.
And that's exactly what happens today. So likewise to Madina,
Munawwara Allah subhanaw taala has given the prophets of Allah some
the same thing.
Maka is like that, for Ibrahim Ali Salam, Allah subhanaw taala told
him to make the announcement and thus
Every one of us whose announcement has reached and that's why we go
and we say, Lubbock, our line here, have listened to that
announcement. I'm here. subliminally, I got that
spiritually, somehow, whatever you want to, however you want to
describe that I'm here. Likewise. Then we go to Madina, Munawwara
and he picks up this point.
Where else do you generally hear that mentioned? He's saying, yeah,
how you ramen? Yeah, ma'am. And if we're gonna say hi to who you're
the best of those who seek as a virtue are going to come to his
courtyard
are going to come to the masjid another way. I'm going to come to
the road or Mobarak are going to come to the other agenda are
coming coming to the blessing grave to give you Salam, Satyam
Woolfolk amo to Anil Anakinra, Sumi, they're going to come
walking, and they're also going to come on animals, they're going to
come and she camels.
It's mentioned that generally it's an adult to actually walk the last
part.
Generally, it's an adult to walk the last part into Madina
Munawwara it's it gets difficult but of course, you get to your
hotel and then you walk from there. There's no
I will father Joe hurry when he came to Madina, Munawwara and got
close to its houses. In those days, it was houses as opposed to
hotels.
He got off and he got off his animal and he started to walk and
then he started to cry.
He started to cry, and he started to sing poems.
What Amara Aina Ross naman lamea Alana for higher than leave out of
LA Riva and your resume you want to look the National Aquarium
Shikara mutton, lemon ban Alana and Illuma Bihi Rocketman. There's
a number of other poems, another person who saw Madina Munawwara
as soon as he started seeing the homes he got off and he said

Watty othera fella, Elena Hora Mattoon with emammal said we can't
no longer be on the animals we need to be on our feet. That's the
other.
That's why many of the scholars they Imam Malik never rode in
Madina Munawwara he said I don't want my animal to spoil Filipina
part where the promise and Allah's may have walked.
There was another great shake of the of the next Monday's. He
stayed in Madina Munawwara for 13 days.
In the Haram in the Haramain. In the two days he stayed for 13
days.
And his Kurama was that he didn't eat anything for those days. Why?
Just so that he wouldn't have to
he wouldn't have to relieve himself.
Nobody else can. It's a Koran, but I mean, it's somebody who's got
that Allah subhanaw taala gives them the ability to do that.
The author himself in his other poem, he says photogra rockbottom

in What? What? What
is that they're pouring their tears out. Like it, they're
pouring it from bowls. That's how it is when people reach Madina
Munawwara. So what it is he's essentially saying that this is
about going to visit the grave of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam visiting the grave of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi
wasallam is one of the greatest forms of closeness you can have to
Allah subhanahu wa Tada. And it is extremely profitable to go there
and to be able to say salaam to him. And it's something that
should be sought after. And it's something that is sought after. I
know nowadays, especially those who are in authority, they're the
religious people, the religious guidance people, they're
supposedly they they have a different understanding, which is
an exceptional understanding that has never been the majority
understanding in the Muslim world of the majority of ADAMA, they try
to make you minimize going there as much as possible. That's why
they will constantly be telling you that Abdullah ibn Umar, Radi
Allahu Anhu used to just come once
When he would come back from a journey or something like that as
to say that it's not a big deal, it's just like come and say salaam
once and then go, you know like you're saying salam Tian T or
something like that just go once in colors, forget it.
So they don't understand that we've come from very far they
don't they can't understand they just don't understand when there's
somebody who wants to stand there for just two minutes, they
literally want you there for two seconds because they move you up.
And if they see you kind of standing there for a bit longer,
then they get agitated, as though you are doing something wrong. So
then they say move up, move up, move up. And
then you're trying to tell him I'm only here once in so many years,
I'd like to spend a bit more time but they don't understand that.
So it's a, it's one of the greatest things that you can do.
When you do that,
when you are intending to go and visit Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi
wasallam then start by making Salawat on the Prophet sallallahu
Ariosa Durood Sharif as much as possible.
And you also have an intention of making solid in the masjid. And to
gain baraka from the role of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam, from his member and from his grave. From the place he used
to sit, the place his hands used to touch, the place where his feet
used to be. And also the pillars that he used to lean on. All of
these things we take baraka from, and that is also the place where
Jabril Alehissalaam used to come so frequently, liberally Salamis
to come so frequently. Likewise, we also want to take baraka from
the place where Sahaba once were, they used to congregate they used
to sit, they used to cry, they used to weep. They used to be sent
for the hidden of the dean, they used to be taught by Rasulullah
sallallahu isn't, that was the place, there was horrible. So for
the first students in Islam, dedicated Sahaba they were there.
We want to benefit from that place. That's a place where so
many things have happened in history, if there's one place in
the world, where some of the greatest scholars of the world
would have definitely congregated and have come and visited, which
is not Baghdad, but that is probably the second city after
Madina Munawwara that
great scholars would go to and they would pass through because it
was such a center point. And that's why multiball Baghdadi he's
written this great, tidy Baghdad, which is in
numerous volumes, and he mentions every scholar that ever came into
Baghdad, that taught there that live there that pass through there
that studied there, that Subhanallah it's amazing. It's in
like 4050 volumes. So an amazing piece of work, but Madina
Munawwara. How can you compare that? How can you compare Baghdad,
Madina? Munawwara. Everybody has to come to Madina Munawwara. So
that's the place you're going I mean, can can you see the
significance? And you've been invited to go there, then how can
you complain? As I was mentioning last time, it's a place where the
whole Muslim world would like to be. So you've just come there. So
that's the baraka that you see, it's the place where lots of
things have happened in history, that place holds a lot of history,
you can actually feel it in the air. If you look, if you feel
closely, if you concentrate, you can actually feel you can actually
feel the history weighing down upon you. That's how this place
is. Because that's the place where Gibreel used to be. That's the
place where Sahaba, the tambourine and the great Imams of the
muslimeen. And that is what we're looking at when we get there. Zero
of Rasulullah sallallahu discover is pretty much agreed upon by the
majority of Allah ma there's just very few people like even attain
me, etc. who
disagreed with that. They said you should go there to visit the
masjid and not the grave the grave should not be your intention,
because that is wrong.
And they take that because of a misunderstanding of a particular
Hadith. The Prophet sallallahu sallam said this and I'll say the
Hadith to you, and you try to understand what you think it
means. led to shut the rehab Illa Illa Salah that the masjid
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that you should not
make an organised travel law to shut the * so you should not
tie your animals in a particular way put reins on them and to you
know, make a preparation to go somewhere except to three
messages.
There's only three messages where you can actually prepare and
organize to go and you will get something out of that. That is
mocha mocha Rama muscle Hara, Massoud gnabry muscle Luxor.
Now clearly what this means is if I live in Clapton,
and for some reason, I believe that for me to come to this masjid
or to go to Regent's Park, or East London Mosque, or wherever it is,
and I'll get more reward for doing that.
Then I'm wrong. Because you should not do that.
You won't get any benefit from going specially to any other
massage except three massage.
Right you won't get any reward for doing that. Your local Masjid is
where you get the most reward because that's your Masjid that
has the right over you. That's where you should be praying. Of
course, if you've got too close mustards, then you've got a
choice.
But that's what it means. It's as clear as that.
Now, can you say that because of this hadith, it's prohibitive for
me to go and visit my auntie.
I'm not allowed to prepare a journey to go to visit my auntie.
Does this hadith even indicate towards that? What about it's,
it's prohibited for me to go and do some sightseeing or gone take a
visit somewhere or go to another country? Does this hadith in any
way? Indicate towards any of that? So how can you now say that this
hadith prohibits visiting the grave of Rasulullah sallallahu
alayhi wasallam. It's only saying Masjid another way. The difference
they would say is that Ibrahim Al Islam is not buried in Mocha mocha
Rama. He made the Kaaba. So the Prophet sallallahu Sallam he made
this Masjid dedicated. Now especially like that whether he's
there or not, he doesn't make a difference is what they would say.
We say there's a masjid has a special merit. But then him being
there is another thing. That's a greater thing. Because that is who
what makes the masjid so great anyway. So there are two separate
things, but they're so interlinked. That's another thing.
But the main thing is that the hadith is actually just speaking
about
it, it's just informing us that you're not going to get any reward
for any extra reward for going to any other Masjid
except these three mustards 100,000 10,000, and so on.
But it doesn't prohibit from going to visit a graveyard. It doesn't
prohibit from going to visit your relatives, or from visit the Saudi
hen, or some pious individual. That's all a different story
whatsoever. So how can you say that it's wrong for someone to
come with the intention of visiting the Prophet sallallahu
his grave.
He is, we know he's alive. It's our belief that he's alive. So
we've come to say salaam to him directly. We've come to benefit
from that place. We've come to benefit from SAT standing in front
of him giving him Salam and salaam to Abu Bakr and Omar are the Allah
on which the Muslims have been doing for centuries.
So that's, that's what it is. So they tried to discourage you, they
tried to discourage you, you we just have to do it because our
connection is with Allah subhanaw taala and the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam.
There were Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said as relates
about Annissa the Allahu Anhu that whoever visits me in Madina
Munawwara with the intention martes even, you know, with
reckoning for some reward or some benefit from it, going to Fiji
Verde, he will be in my protection, what controller who
Shafi Anioma? Club, and I will be intercession intercessor for him
on the day of judgment.
There's a number of other Hadith about this as well. Now, how long
should you stand? If you're given the luxury of standing as much as
you want? How long should you stand it? I used to always be
concerned that a stall is
I used to always wonder about that. Because
generally, you feel like you want to spend as much as possible
because you think, you know, it's a special place for you to stand
there. But then you suddenly lose your concentration. And then
you're wondering what to do. And then you're trying, you know, you
get distracted. You've said what you want to say you've done your
Salam you've done whatever you want to do. And then what? So
that's why
one of the sheets that I read, he said, You stand there, as long as
you are, you have attention. Once your attention goes then move
away, because then it's bad other it's like I've gone to visit
somebody. I've spoken to him and now I'm kind of just hanging
around.
It looks a bit awkward. I'm just hanging around. There's no
concentration, there's no discussion. It's all done
finished. You know, he's got lots of people to attend to. So let me
if I want to be there have a lot of concentration have concentrate
a half an hour, no problem. But when you finish your
concentration, then go and come back afterwards.
Here.
Then he says woman who is to cobra, Lima tourbillion woman who
are near to Lovina all the Merli molteni Me, He is the one who is
the greatest sign for the one looking for a sign and the
greatest bounty for the one who's looking to benefit.
The Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam has been made the greatest sign
for the one who thinks and reflects over this because the
Prophet salallahu idea was sent away. Let's think about it. We
could there's endless topics. The Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam, he
produced so many miracles that were clear
So many evidences so many proofs, so many major events that took
place during his time. And that makes it rightful for us. So
anybody to say that he is the greatest sign himself, because so
many signs appeared from him. So he becomes the greatest sign.
And, for example, the splitting of the moon is one, not just one
person. So it many, many, many people saw it. So it's not
something that can be denied so easily.
Stopping the sun for a while, raising the dead, giving people
who is sick, making them feel better, make curing them, telling
you about events of the past, telling you about the nations of
the past, telling us about what is in the books of the previous
people. And also the stories, the real stories of the prophets of
the past, fingers are producing water, so that the whole army is
able to drink from that and is quenched the food that is just
enough for two or three people feeding an entire army and still
being left over the trees talking to him bearing witness that he is
the prophet responding to his coal, tearing the ground and
coming over and to bow down in front of him. Subhanallah I must
have been just amazing for somebody to see that.
For the pillar that he used to use on Friday for that to start to, to
whimper when he when the member came in was produced for him and
he stopped leaning on that pillar. So that came it began to whimper.
The stones in his hands, the pebbles, they began to make the
speech and this was heard by other people. So this wasn't just like
an individual harbor wa had many of these, many of these others
knew about it as well.
The wolves speaking and so on and so forth. Many, many other things
the wolf spoke because a wolf came in, took a took a sheep, and the
person took it back from him and said, You're denying me, my my
food? And he says, Wow, subhanAllah wolf speaking, he
says, That's not amazing. What's amazing is the person who is in
the city. This is a shepherd on the outskirts of Madina Munawwara
says, what's really amazing is the person in the city who's going to
give you more information of the unseen. So then that person came
in because of the world speaking terms of Allah. So you've got all
of these amazing, the iguanas speaking to him responding to him
and saying that yes, I'm a believer, and the camel
prostrating and so on and so forth, the piece of lamb or the
piece of meat that was poisoned, and it spoke, that I am poisoned,
don't eat me, and so on and so forth. Numerous things.
All the signs that came beforehand, all the signs that
afterwards on the prophecies of his makes him the greatest sign,
then the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam is also the greatest
bounty. So one is he is a sign that will tell us which way to go.
If we follow Him, we're following the right way. That's what the
author is trying to emphasize here. That you are following the
right way if you follow Him because He is the greatest sign
there is no other sign Why look for any other signs, go to the zoo
allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam directly when it comes to being
the greatest bounty. For anybody who is seeking a bounty, then this
cannot be hidden on anybody, especially the people who have any
intellect. They will notice that the Prophet said Allah Islam is
the greatest bounty that they've ever had, that they will ever have
because Allah subhanho wa Taala gave him as a bounty to the mouth
look to the creation to the people, and he sent him as the
Rama to lil Alameen. He sent him as the
mercy for all the words Allah Allah subhanaw taala says in the
Quran he says, Look at Munna Allahu Allah meaning min Neha Manu
it means to give a bounty.
Allah has blessed the believers has gifted them, has given them by
sending them a prophet who teaches them purifies them reads the
verses to them.
Allah is saying that Allah has given you a bounty by sending him
and then the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. So the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is a source of mercy. In that sense.
Sheikh Abdullah bustle mercy He says, The Olympia Holy Quran Allah
the whole reason for unbecoming is purely merciful. That's what they
sent for. To take the people away from the darkness to the light.
What greater mercy is there? Somebody's stumbling around in the
dark. And suddenly you show them the way here brother let me take
you. Somebody holds your hands and guides you out and you're like
Subhanallah The problem is we don't even know we're in the
darkness. People don't know they're in darkness until they
See the darkness of the Hereafter they'll notice that then they were
in the darkness
we are so blessed that we've been shown the way Subhanallah
you know to know what's darkness and what's not darkness, still a
lot more darkness in our lives. May Allah subhanaw taala remove
all of that darkness and give us the full light Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi salam, then Allah subhanho wa Taala says Rama
or Sana Ihlara metodologia mean, we only sent you as a
source of mercy for
all the worlds. I mean, not just for me, not just for insertion.
But I mean all the words just like Al Hamdulillah he wrote bill I
mean,
what can you understand from Ireland mean?
All praises to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds how many worlds Is He
the Lord have. So as comprehensive as that is the prophets of Allah
ism is a mercy for that many worlds, even if they came before
him.
Because when you get deep, you understand that this entire world
was created for a very particular reason, which had a big promise of
some of the big part to play in there.
So he invited people to Allah with Basia with deep insight,
very clear, good proofs, and is easy to follow the way of
Rasulullah sallallahu. And to get to Allah subhanaw taala. He
mentioned the past to Allah subhanaw taala. And he said, these
are the ways of Buddha, it said these are the ways of destruction.
So he didn't leave anything, he didn't leave anything that would
take a person close to Allah subhanaw taala. He mentioned that
he invited towards it whether specifically or in general, and
anything that would distract one from Allah subhanaw taala. He made
that that clear, either specifically or in general.
And he did not stop at anything. He never lazed around, he never
took a holiday. He never said let me take off a month, six weeks we
have to do that. Sometimes he didn't have to do that. He worked
every day, every moment of his time, was there for guidance.
That's, that's a real source of Mercy waits, full dedication, full
dedication. He puts himself into precarious positions into
dangerous situations.
And he illuminated the path for us. So the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa salam elevated the standard of Islam, and he
completed his Dawa in this world, he clearly made a distinction
between the halal and haram between the truth and between the
falsehood. He opened up the ways for people to think that this is
the way you understand these things. This is the way you
comprehend. That is why it was the verse in the Quran is so perfect,
where Allah subhanaw taala says
there is no reason to force anybody into the faith. Law Iqra
15 But the way you're in a rush to mineral D.
There is no compulsion in the faith. There doesn't have to be.
The truth has been fully made distinct from the wrong from the
evil.
The proper Prophet sallallahu Sallam did his job so perfectly
that there is no doubt left. There is no doubt left it's clear.
That's where Allah subhanaw taala declared that very clearly. Allah
subhanho wa Taala also said Aloma Kamal, doula come, Dina come the
way that Dean was completed with Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam
because of what the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam did.
So anybody who wants to look for benefit, they will find the
greatest benefit in the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam,
because that is how they will succeed both in this world.
Because when you start following a salsa lesson, we will get Baraka
in your life. You will be connected to Allah subhanaw taala
you will have sukoon you may have calamities, but you will know how
to deal with them. You will not be depressed because they said
depression is the opposite of tobacco, you will have tobacco,
you will know what you're doing.
So you will be totally at comfort and at peace because you're
following rasool Allah salah, and the closer you are, the more
comfortable that you will be. And then in the hereafter Of course
there is endless bliss.
So now it's clearly when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam is the greatest sign. He's also the greatest benefit, then it
ties in with the previous poem. That is why those who seek virtue,
they go and they come from far and wide walking and on different
means of conveyance. They come to his courtyard
because there is so much to be had from the
SIR right I'm in Harlem in Leyland. ILAHA Rahman Kumar Sol

And now he after introducing the section, he starts talking about
the purpose of this section which is the Mirage. So we'll just look
at this first point here. He says, Sarita means going from at
nighttime traveling by night haram to haram. obviously referring to
Masjidul haram to Masjidul Aqsa people are quite confused about
why is Masjid Al haram because generally we our understanding of
Haram is something prohibited. Why do they call Masjid Haram? A lot
of people have this, but they I've noticed few people asked me the
question, but they kind of turned it around a bit, because it does
sound a bit silly to say, because they know it can't mean that
there's no haram here doesn't mean prohibited in the sense of haram
unlawful. It means haram in the sense that it's wrong to do so
it's a protected environment. It's a sanctified honorable environment
where you can't do certain things. So in that sense, it's a haram. So
it's a haram that's what we call it. And why is mercy axacon Masjid
Al Aqsa because in those days, the first Masjid was in Jerusalem. So
it was already existent. It was already present. And because it
was the furthest Masjid axon means distant, furthest at the edge.
That's why it's called like that. So one day, this person who was
interested in Islam had been coming to the masjid quite a bit.
He says, You guys are only speaking about Masjid Al Aqsa, and
saying it's in the Quran. I've read the whole Quran and I've
never found it in the Quran.
So I was like, I said, No, it's there. Subhan Allah, the SR. We
have the Rayleigh middle Masjidul haram. Ilisu lochsa says, no, no,
I've looked everywhere. It's not there.
said hold on, then I kind of figured out that he's reading a
translation. I said, Where were you reading he brought up the
lives of valleys translation in that says, glorify be he who took
his servant by night from the sanctified abode to the furthest
abode.
So he's done a literal translation.
So that's why he got confused.
Some orientalist, though they may really study their subjects, well,
they make certain strange mistakes like this. One of the other
mistakes I just read in an article I was reading by one of the
orientalist about what is what was the mothership of Ibnu Sina,
whether he was any smart ad or Hanafi. So he says, the Hanafi is
they find it, they say it's fine to drink wine,
said that's not right. But then I figured out what they're saying.
He says the other three schools don't, but the Hanafis do. So he
was trying to prove by that the image was seen as a Hanafy.
Because he also considered that to be correct. But basically, you
know, where he's getting wind from, from the beef, the beef
nubby there's put dates into water for about 12 hours, something like
that. And then it sweetens the water in that in those days, the
water wasn't very pleasant everywhere. So you know, you had
some water, which was not very pleasant source. So to make it a
bit more pleasant, you'd leave some dates in there for a while
the dates would soften out the flavor, the sweetness from they
would go into the water, and drink it. So now, according to the other
three month hubs, they don't allow it once it's changed a bit,
whereas the Hanafi still allow it until it doesn't froth up and
become intoxicated. So the honeybees allow it to a greater
limit. They have some Hadith for that. He calls that wine. It's not
wine, it's not intoxication, but they just kind of like randomly
just say it's wine. So there are certain things like that that you
have to be careful about.
And because there's an authoritative article about that,
so it's kind of very misleading.
So messy Luxa is the province that was almost taken there, he was
taken to all three masters Masjidul haram, Masjid Nabawi,
which was his own designation, and he was also tasted, taken to mushy
Luxa. Probably Saracen didn't really travel much around the
world. He went into Sham, but then he was taken to Mercy Luxor on
this special occasion. And then he also mentioned during the trip
during this migration during this ascension trip, that he was also
taken to beta Lam Bethlehem and a number of other places. According
to some of the narrations anyway, he went to the beta mock this,
which is one of the three of our great massage in
the province of Larson says I'd love to shut the rehab Illa Illa
30 masajid Miss Judy Heather, this Masjid of mine Masjidul haram, and
the masjid of elior Aelia is the name of Jerusalem. That's Masjid
elior.
Now just then he says come a subtle bedroo feeder gem in
autonomy just like the full moon it goes through the darkness of
the night and it illuminates. Likewise, the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam is illuminating in the darkness of this dunya and
the corruption and the problems and the shock of this world. But
of course, his guidance is greater than the moon's guidance, but
because that's one thing that we can where we can see
of darkness, and we can see the light of the moon. So that has
been used as an example, or as a metaphor, even though of course
it's not as great as the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam
there was a desert Arab.
His camera he couldn't find it in the darkness. He was so dark he
couldn't find this camera is he thinks he's going to die. He
doesn't know where to go what to do.
Until he eventually lost hope completely.
He thought, forget it. I'm finished. Maybe he didn't have any
water with him or any substance or whatever it was. He eventually
gave up and felt I'm gonna finish I'm dying now.
Suddenly, the moon came out.
Now can you imagine how much he thanked the moon then
when you've given up all hope, and then suddenly somebody brings a
light law. So then he said the following poem a poem, Mother Kulu
Wako li fi kazoo Hodder in wakad Cafe tentative sea level Jumilla
in call Tula, ZIL, Tamar, foo and taka. Oh, cool. Susanna carob.
Before who orchid ferula so he he says, How do I praise you now?
How do I praise you Oh, Moon. If I say to you that Oh, you are very
elevated? Well, that's how you are. And if I say that my Lord has
adorned you, well, then that's exactly what he's done. So what
should I say to praise you beyond that?
He got very happy. So this is likewise when we get happy that
the Prophet sallallahu Sallam is showing us the way that
Subhanallah then there's going to be poetry about him.
What this is speaking about is speaking about Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi wasallam that he was taken from night. By night,
one day he was sleeping in Masjid Al haram. This is before the
migration. This is also just after the 10th year of Asia. This took
place in the last three years that the person was was in Makkah for
13 years. He was in Makkah. So this took place in one of those
three years. Before going to Madina Munawwara there was the
10th year was considered to be the year of two sorrows to griefs,
because he lost two very important
supporting people. He lost Khadija, the Allahu Ana, she
passed away. So that was his internal support. And outside he
lost a bouteille of his uncle
Amel, whose name that's what it's called the 10th year. Then this
happened where Allah subhanaw taala Greg given this great gift,
and he was taken up to the heavens, so he was lying there. In
either Omaha in his house, or he was in the Masjid Al haram, the
angels came and said, Let's take him and he went with them by body
physically, he went there.
He went with them. And they took him on a Barak to Jerusalem first,
and that's where he met the other prophets. He led them in, in
prayer, and that, after that, he was taken up to the heavens,
heaven by heaven, he went up, and each one is protected. Each one
has an angel protecting him. When he Gibreel ra Salam when he got
there, the angel of that heaven would ask who's here? said this is
Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa salam, this Gibreel with Mohammed
salah. Has he been invited?
He's been invited. That's one way to read that. The question
generally read it as a question Has he been invited. But the other
way to read it as some of the other my read is, oh, he's been
invited, like an exclamation. Oh, wonderful. In fact, some of the
other might actually mentioned that one of the reasons the
prophets Allah was taken up to the heavens is that the people of the
dunya are benefiting from him. But he's supposed to be a mercy for
everyone for the ILM of the melodica and the angels as well.
So he's taken up there, so that he can also benefit them as well.
So he got there, on to the first heaven when he got to the first
heaven there, as it was opened for him.
There was other monies to lamda. So other molybdenum is on the
first heaven. This is mentioned in the hadith of Muslim. There's the
other Muslim Islam the first heaven. He welcomed him. Oh, my
great son, my great son, welcome, welcome. And then after that, they
carried on to the second one. Gibreel or Islam, same kind of
questioning exclamation, surprise. And there he met Sid Salaam and
yeah, here is Zika. Yeah, here it is. Two cousins.
So yeah, Haley salaam, obviously he's passed away, but somehow
somehow he's represented there. He's rude. He's there. Allah
subhanaw taala has the ability to put anybody wherever they want.
very sadly, Islam is obviously a lifestyle. He's not died and
mortal death. And then he went up to the second the third heaven,
and there he was met by use of Alayhis Salam, and then on on and
on. The fourth one he met reciting his Salaam
and so on onto the fifth one where he met Haroon Alayhis Salam on to
the sixth one where he met Musa alayhis salam.
And Musa alayhis salam took a special interest in him because
As he knew something special is happening, Musa Islam always want
to see Rasulullah sallallahu always want to see Allah. And
that's why Allah subhanho wa Taala mentions that in the Quran where
Musa Islam said I want to see you Eleni under a lake. Show me
yourself. I'd like to see you called Aladdin Tara and you're not
going to be able to see me insisted and then he said, Okay,
look at that mountain. So he's always wanted to see him. You
always wanted to see somebody, but you haven't you haven't met them
and then suddenly somebody comes in, they've met that person.
Somebody's come from the Haram or whatever it is, you're gonna sit
there and grill them about it. Tell me about it. What is it like
this? Is it like that? Is it like this? So they say that one of the
reasons why Musa al Islam kept sending him back and forth to
decrease the 50 prayers. When he was when he came back after
meeting Allah subhanaw taala is so that he can keep meeting him and
seeing him and talking to him. What Allah Who Ireland, that's
just somebody's analysis. It's not mentioned in the Hadith,
necessarily. So then the seventh heaven, that is where Ibrahim Ali
salaam Miss Ibrahim on Islam is the second greatest prophet after
a Zulu allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
And then he went beyond that to the extent after which even the
angels could not go That's why Gibreel and Islam eventually told
him, I can't go beyond this place. You'd have to go alone. This is at
the end of the universe. Do you realize Sam has no access to and
that was to Allah subhanho wa taala. So you said the prophets
Allah, some went there, and he was alone. That's emptiness, whatever
that is, that's a very big place. But they say that there's a
narration which mentions that he heard Abu Bakr Siddiq or the Allah
on his voice there.
So why does he hear his voice there? Because in that place, it's
so strange. He's feeling so alone. So he is made to hear somebody
familiar to him. And then he visits ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada, how
exactly Allah knows best.
But the prophet Sal Lawson has gone beyond without a spacesuit,
beyond where any, any mobile of today can get to any shuttle
today, without a space without any prediction, just like that.
That means there's a possibility.
That means there's a possibility. It's not intrinsically impossible
for that to happen. And one day, it might happen again, not there,
but somewhere close or beyond. Clearly, we're gonna go up,
because gentlemen, Jana is on the seventh heaven.
Anyway, he got 50 prayers as the gift that Allah subhanaw taala
gave, he came back moosari Some kept sending him back into the
wench eventually was made to five. But then Allah subhanaw taala
says, May you but the code will Aditya? What I said stands, you
are you? I want you guys to have 50 prayers. But that's fine. Now
you do five multiplied by 10, you will get the reward of 50.
And that was just the way to it's all psychological because it was
we should have been doing 50
Has anybody ever distributed them 50 See how often you'd have to do
it. 24 hours is more than two, that would be more than two an
hour.
It'd be more than because he had 24 hours, 25 hours, then you'd
have to do to an hour to get 50. So 24 hours, you'd have to do a
bit more than two an hour. Right?
That would be quite interesting. But alhamdulillah May Allah reward
Musa at least and I'm sure he's waiting for some dua there but his
OMA will thank me.
Because he said I've tried people but they haven't worked in there's
nobody is going to be able to do that much. It can't do three so
but yes, Allah subhanaw taala says, I'll give you the reward of
five, no problem, I'll give you the reward of five.
And that's exactly what happened. And Musa wanted him to go even
more to lessen it more.
But then he said, No, I'm, I can't, I'm embarrassed now to go
anymore.
Then he came back. And
people started questioning him. And the fact that people started
questioning him, proves that his claim was that I went in body.
Because if he had gone in dream,
and he told people that why would anybody have run with that? People
go further than you know, people go all over the place in their
dream. Nobody has any questions about that, oh, he's just dreamed
it. Everybody accepts that. Even if you don't see dreams yourself,
you can
accept that somebody else could have seen such a dream. But the
fact that they had an issue, made a big deal about it. And they
started going and telling the people who had become Muslim, do
you believe that your Prophet even tells you this and so on. And then
they came in, interrogated him. And he mentioned that they came in
this group had just come from Jerusalem. So then they started
asking him how many windows how many floors, how many this how
many that and he said
Well, I hadn't really thought about it. When I went there was
just like so fast that I didn't really think about this, but Allah
subhanaw taala then lifted up a kind of an image for it in front
of me and I started just counting and giving them the response.
So that will prove that it was done physically. May Allah
subhanaw taala give us the trophy coming Allah subhanaw taala allow
us to understand the great gift that we've been given of
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and may he may or may he
allow us to benefit from him as a gift.
That's the main thing we can acknowledge it. But then the other
thing is that we benefit from the gift, somebody gives you a gift.
You know, he's given you a gift, but you just sit there and it's
gathering dust. So what's the point of that? The point is that
we benefit from it, and we can benefit from it. There's no end to
the promise that was so much to offer. We can never exhaust that
possibility. So we can take as much as possible there's enough
room for all of us
to go and get as much as possible. Allahumma Anta salaamu Inca Salam

what's the point of a lecture is to encourage people to act to get
further an inspiration and encouragement, persuasion. The
next step is to actually start learning seriously to read books
to take on a subject of Islam and to understand all the subjects of
Islam at least at the basic level, so that we can become more aware
of what our deen wants from us, and that's why we started Rayyan
course.
is so that you can actually take organize lectures on demand
whenever you have free time, especially, for example, the
Islamic essentials course that we have on there the Islamic
essentials certificate which you take 20 Short modules and at the
end of that inshallah you will have gotten the basics of most of
the most important topics in Islam and you'll feel a lot more
confident. You don't have to leave lectures behind you can continue
to live, you know, to listen to lectures, but you need to have
this more sustained study as well. JazakAllah Heron salaam aleikum wa
rahmatullah wa barakato.
