Brothers and sisters,
in this sitting,
we want to discuss
a matter that is going to be taking
place very, very soon
and also because of its commotion
and the fact that there's so many people
saying different things about it. Some people are
for it and some people are against it.
So we want to come InshaAllah
in this sitting and put this issue to
bed by bringing the statements of Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala, the Messenger Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam and
how the Sahabarid 1 Allahu Alaihi
understood
this issue. This issue is the issue of
Al Mawlid celebrating
the birthday of the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam.
What does the religion of Islam say pertaining
this matter?
Simply because
you find today that
certain people are accused
of hating the Prophet
or not loving him simply because they refused
to
participate
in the birthday of the Prophet
So inshallah wata'ala, let's take it back as
Allah Azzawajal told us to do
If you are ever disputing a matter,
then refer it back
to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala and His Quran
and the Messenger sallallahu alaihi wa sallam I.
E. Sunnah.
If you are people that believe in Allah
in the last day. So this is exactly
what we're gonna do, inshallah wata'ala,
and take the matter back to the
Quran of Allah and
the sunnah of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam.
So so the first question brother and sister
that I want to put forth to you
what is the true love? What is the
true love? What is the legislated love that
we should all have? Without a shadow of
a doubt, we have to love the Prophet
more than any person
that is in our family,
whether he's a relative, whether it is a
friend, whether it is the people that we
work with, the guy that's been helping us
out all our lives.
The prophet
said in a hadith that was narrated by
Imam al Bukhari
he loves me more than he loves his
parents, his children
and all of the people.
It came in another narration, the prophet
said also in Al Bukhari 3 things that
if a person was to find it, he
would find the sweetness of an iman. And
from the things that were mentioned,
to Allah and his Messenger are more beloved
to you than anything else.
There is a story
regarding
that he one time said to the prophet
I love
you more than anything
except myself.
So the prophet said to him, The
prophet
swore by
Allah
until you love me now more than yourself.
So Umar ibn Khattab then said,
You are more beloved to me than myself.
So the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said
to him, Now
this position that you have taken
is the correct position I want you to
take.
Nobody can be more beloved to us
than Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala as a messenger.
Brothers and sisters, what is the true love?
There's an eye in the Quran
where
Hassan al Basir explained.
Imam Ahmed
he called this verse,
Ayatul Mahana,
the verse of examination
where one is
tested, if he's a true lover of Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala and His Messenger. This verse
is the verse in Surat Alaihi Imran, where
Allah says,
say to them, oh, Muhammad,
and say to them, oh Muhammad,
that if they truly love Allah
then they should follow me.
Came. The tremendous
he said,
Some people claimed
that they love
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala and His Messenger.
So he tested them
with this verse,
he tested them with this verse
to see the one that truly loves Allah
as the wajall in his messija. Because the
one that claims to love something, he's always
going to do that which Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala told him to do. The poet said,
If your love was the truth, it was
it was true love,
and you had sincere love,
you would have followed
that individual.
For indeed, the one that loves,
He will follow the one
that he's claiming to love.
So the one that truly loves the messenger
if
the prophet says stand up, this person needs
to stand up.
If he says sit down, this person needs
to sit down.
In every command that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,
his messenger bring, it is upon this individual
to come and submit to it with full
submission, and this is the way of the
believer. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says,
It is only the speech of the Baribah
that when they are called now
to Allah
and His Messenger to judge between them that
they say,
we listen and we obey.
These people are the successful ones.
Brothers and sisters, pay attention with me here.
If the boss now tells us
to
do
something,
the reaction of most people is what?
That they do it straight away without any
hesitation.
Nobody doubts it twice. Nobody says anything. Why?
Because they wanna keep that job, and they
love their jobs.
So why is it when the prophet sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam comes and he says something,
we tend to have another reaction,
which is not the same reaction we give
when maybe the creation, the human being, speaks
to us.
The true love is,
brothers and sisters,
that we submit to Allah Subhanahu
Wa
Ta'ala's
messenger
with full submission without any
