Brothers and sisters,

00:00:14 --> 00:00:15

in this sitting,

00:00:16 --> 00:00:17

we want to discuss

00:00:17 --> 00:00:19

a matter that is going to be taking

00:00:19 --> 00:00:21

place very, very soon

00:00:21 --> 00:00:23

and also because of its commotion

00:00:24 --> 00:00:26

and the fact that there's so many people

00:00:26 --> 00:00:28

saying different things about it. Some people are

00:00:28 --> 00:00:30

for it and some people are against it.

00:00:30 --> 00:00:31

So we want to come InshaAllah

00:00:32 --> 00:00:34

in this sitting and put this issue to

00:00:34 --> 00:00:37

bed by bringing the statements of Allah Subhanahu

00:00:37 --> 00:00:41

Wa Ta'ala, the Messenger Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam and

00:00:41 --> 00:00:43

how the Sahabarid 1 Allahu Alaihi

00:00:43 --> 00:00:44

understood

00:00:44 --> 00:00:46

this issue. This issue is the issue of

00:00:46 --> 00:00:47

Al Mawlid celebrating

00:00:48 --> 00:00:51

the birthday of the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam.

00:00:51 --> 00:00:53

What does the religion of Islam say pertaining

00:00:53 --> 00:00:54

this matter?

00:00:55 --> 00:00:56

Simply because

00:00:56 --> 00:00:58

you find today that

00:00:59 --> 00:01:00

certain people are accused

00:01:01 --> 00:01:02

of hating the Prophet

00:01:04 --> 00:01:07

or not loving him simply because they refused

00:01:07 --> 00:01:07

to

00:01:08 --> 00:01:09

participate

00:01:10 --> 00:01:11

in the birthday of the Prophet

00:01:13 --> 00:01:15

So inshallah wata'ala, let's take it back as

00:01:15 --> 00:01:17

Allah Azzawajal told us to do

00:01:24 --> 00:01:26

If you are ever disputing a matter,

00:01:27 --> 00:01:29

then refer it back

00:01:29 --> 00:01:32

to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala and His Quran

00:01:32 --> 00:01:34

and the Messenger sallallahu alaihi wa sallam I.

00:01:34 --> 00:01:35

E. Sunnah.

00:01:35 --> 00:01:38

If you are people that believe in Allah

00:01:39 --> 00:01:41

in the last day. So this is exactly

00:01:41 --> 00:01:42

what we're gonna do, inshallah wata'ala,

00:01:43 --> 00:01:45

and take the matter back to the

00:01:46 --> 00:01:48

Quran of Allah and

00:01:49 --> 00:01:51

the sunnah of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam.

00:01:51 --> 00:01:53

So so the first question brother and sister

00:01:53 --> 00:01:54

that I want to put forth to you

00:01:54 --> 00:01:57

what is the true love? What is the

00:01:57 --> 00:01:59

true love? What is the legislated love that

00:01:59 --> 00:02:01

we should all have? Without a shadow of

00:02:01 --> 00:02:03

a doubt, we have to love the Prophet

00:02:05 --> 00:02:07

more than any person

00:02:07 --> 00:02:10

that is in our family,

00:02:10 --> 00:02:13

whether he's a relative, whether it is a

00:02:13 --> 00:02:15

friend, whether it is the people that we

00:02:15 --> 00:02:17

work with, the guy that's been helping us

00:02:17 --> 00:02:18

out all our lives.

00:02:19 --> 00:02:20

The prophet

00:02:21 --> 00:02:23

said in a hadith that was narrated by

00:02:23 --> 00:02:24

Imam al Bukhari

00:02:34 --> 00:02:36

he loves me more than he loves his

00:02:36 --> 00:02:38

parents, his children

00:02:38 --> 00:02:39

and all of the people.

00:02:40 --> 00:02:42

It came in another narration, the prophet

00:02:48 --> 00:02:49

said also in Al Bukhari 3 things that

00:02:49 --> 00:02:52

if a person was to find it, he

00:02:52 --> 00:02:55

would find the sweetness of an iman. And

00:02:55 --> 00:02:56

from the things that were mentioned,

00:03:00 --> 00:03:03

to Allah and his Messenger are more beloved

00:03:03 --> 00:03:05

to you than anything else.

00:03:06 --> 00:03:08

There is a story

00:03:08 --> 00:03:08

regarding

00:03:11 --> 00:03:13

that he one time said to the prophet

00:03:21 --> 00:03:22

I love

00:03:23 --> 00:03:24

you more than anything

00:03:24 --> 00:03:25

except myself.

00:03:26 --> 00:03:29

So the prophet said to him, The

00:03:32 --> 00:03:32

prophet

00:03:33 --> 00:03:34

swore by

00:03:36 --> 00:03:36

Allah

00:03:40 --> 00:03:43

until you love me now more than yourself.

00:03:45 --> 00:03:47

So Umar ibn Khattab then said,

00:03:51 --> 00:03:54

You are more beloved to me than myself.

00:03:54 --> 00:03:55

So the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said

00:03:55 --> 00:03:56

to him, Now

00:03:58 --> 00:04:00

this position that you have taken

00:04:00 --> 00:04:02

is the correct position I want you to

00:04:02 --> 00:04:02

take.

00:04:03 --> 00:04:05

Nobody can be more beloved to us

00:04:07 --> 00:04:09

than Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala as a messenger.

00:04:10 --> 00:04:12

Brothers and sisters, what is the true love?

00:04:13 --> 00:04:14

There's an eye in the Quran

00:04:15 --> 00:04:16

where

00:04:17 --> 00:04:18

Hassan al Basir explained.

00:04:20 --> 00:04:21

Imam Ahmed

00:04:22 --> 00:04:23

he called this verse,

00:04:24 --> 00:04:25

Ayatul Mahana,

00:04:26 --> 00:04:27

the verse of examination

00:04:27 --> 00:04:28

where one is

00:04:29 --> 00:04:31

tested, if he's a true lover of Allah

00:04:31 --> 00:04:33

Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala and His Messenger. This verse

00:04:33 --> 00:04:35

is the verse in Surat Alaihi Imran, where

00:04:35 --> 00:04:36

Allah says,

00:04:37 --> 00:04:38

say to them, oh, Muhammad,

00:04:46 --> 00:04:47

and say to them, oh Muhammad,

00:04:48 --> 00:04:50

that if they truly love Allah

00:04:51 --> 00:04:53

then they should follow me.

00:04:54 --> 00:04:55

Came. The tremendous

00:04:59 --> 00:04:59

he said,

00:05:03 --> 00:05:04

Some people claimed

00:05:05 --> 00:05:06

that they love

00:05:07 --> 00:05:09

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala and His Messenger.

00:05:10 --> 00:05:11

So he tested them

00:05:12 --> 00:05:13

with this verse,

00:05:14 --> 00:05:15

he tested them with this verse

00:05:16 --> 00:05:18

to see the one that truly loves Allah

00:05:18 --> 00:05:20

as the wajall in his messija. Because the

00:05:20 --> 00:05:23

one that claims to love something, he's always

00:05:23 --> 00:05:25

going to do that which Allah subhanahu wa

00:05:25 --> 00:05:28

ta'ala told him to do. The poet said,

00:05:34 --> 00:05:36

If your love was the truth, it was

00:05:36 --> 00:05:37

it was true love,

00:05:38 --> 00:05:39

and you had sincere love,

00:05:41 --> 00:05:42

you would have followed

00:05:43 --> 00:05:43

that individual.

00:05:45 --> 00:05:46

For indeed, the one that loves,

00:05:49 --> 00:05:51

He will follow the one

00:05:52 --> 00:05:54

that he's claiming to love.

00:05:55 --> 00:05:57

So the one that truly loves the messenger

00:05:57 --> 00:05:57

if

00:05:58 --> 00:06:01

the prophet says stand up, this person needs

00:06:01 --> 00:06:02

to stand up.

00:06:02 --> 00:06:04

If he says sit down, this person needs

00:06:04 --> 00:06:05

to sit down.

00:06:07 --> 00:06:09

In every command that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,

00:06:09 --> 00:06:11

his messenger bring, it is upon this individual

00:06:12 --> 00:06:14

to come and submit to it with full

00:06:14 --> 00:06:16

submission, and this is the way of the

00:06:16 --> 00:06:18

believer. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says,

00:06:26 --> 00:06:28

It is only the speech of the Baribah

00:06:28 --> 00:06:30

that when they are called now

00:06:30 --> 00:06:31

to Allah

00:06:32 --> 00:06:34

and His Messenger to judge between them that

00:06:34 --> 00:06:35

they say,

00:06:37 --> 00:06:38

we listen and we obey.

00:06:40 --> 00:06:41

These people are the successful ones.

00:06:42 --> 00:06:45

Brothers and sisters, pay attention with me here.

00:06:45 --> 00:06:47

If the boss now tells us

00:06:48 --> 00:06:49

to

00:06:49 --> 00:06:50

do

00:06:51 --> 00:06:51

something,

00:06:51 --> 00:06:54

the reaction of most people is what?

00:06:54 --> 00:06:57

That they do it straight away without any

00:06:57 --> 00:06:57

hesitation.

00:06:57 --> 00:07:01

Nobody doubts it twice. Nobody says anything. Why?

00:07:01 --> 00:07:03

Because they wanna keep that job, and they

00:07:03 --> 00:07:03

love their jobs.

00:07:04 --> 00:07:06

So why is it when the prophet sallallahu

00:07:06 --> 00:07:08

alaihi wa sallam comes and he says something,

00:07:09 --> 00:07:11

we tend to have another reaction,

00:07:11 --> 00:07:13

which is not the same reaction we give

00:07:14 --> 00:07:17

when maybe the creation, the human being, speaks

00:07:17 --> 00:07:17

to us.

00:07:20 --> 00:07:21

The true love is,

00:07:21 --> 00:07:22

brothers and sisters,

00:07:22 --> 00:07:24

that we submit to Allah Subhanahu

00:07:24 --> 00:07:25

Wa

00:07:25 --> 00:07:26

Ta'ala's

00:07:26 --> 00:07:26

messenger

00:07:27 --> 00:07:29

with full submission without any
