Nakamura, Hulu, Yeoman, Tasha Sophie Hill Levassor brothers and
sisters, our praises to Allah subhanho wa Taala the Creator
sustainer and cherish of the words may Allah Spano Tala inspire us to
turn to him in repentance, to praise Him and thank Him for the
blessings He has bestowed on us and to use the blessings in ways
that would bring us closer to him. So that we attain
salvation and the blissful paradise that Allah has prepared
for his righteous servants. I bear witness there is none worthy of
worship, but Allah subhanho wa Taala I also bear witness that
Rasulullah sallallahu wasallam is the final messenger is about a
messenger of Mercy has come to bring human beings together in
peace and harmony in love and affection.
And Inshallah, today I am going to talk about another beautiful
concept, a hub of love for the sake of Allah subhanho wa Taala we
were talking about a son excellence in faith. And there are
so much
that the Prophet sallallahu wasallam and the Holy Quran has
taught us
to remove the hatred and malice and in feeling from the hearts of
mankind, and to bring humanity together, join them for peace, to
accomplish in good in this life, to achieve and to borders that are
pleasing to Allah subhanaw taala for the welfare of humanity for
welfare of life, well being of humanity and God's creation. So,
the concept of love in Islam is very, very important.
First of all, love for Allah subhanho wa taala. This is,
there is nothing in Islam more important than
establishing that form, Lau for Allah subhanho wa Taala
by thinking of His mercies and his blessings, and recognizing Him as
the source of everything, and then
India, you know, bringing up our soul, our heart and mind to level
last one out Allah and the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam always pray
to Allah, Allah make my love for you, dear than my love for my own
soul, and dearer than my love for that cool water in a thirsty day
of the summer. And also the Prophet ask.
His Lord begged his Lord, to inspire him to love Him, and to
love those who love Him and to love action that will bring us
closer to his love.
So the prophets of Allah Allah Salam, yes, the love of Allah is
the most important thing. Then the love of the creation of Allah,
love of Muslims love of humankind, love of Allah's creation.
These are interconnected because we cannot detach the love of Allah
from the love of his creation. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi salam
said in a beautiful Hadith, what are the Neff? cbde that are the
Holo Jana had to obey no, by him who has my soul in his hands. You
cannot enter Jannah until you have cherished faith until you have
realized the fullness of faith.
And you cannot have faith until you love for another one another
for the sake of Allah.
And then he says, Shall I tell you about you to do something that
would bring that love
after ceramah by Hinako when you meet each other spread the
greeting of peace and your it's very important for us to know
All, unlike some Muslims think wrongly, that we need only to be
at peace with Muslims. This is wrong. Because the first sermon of
the Prophet as he arrived in Medina was your or your nurse, or
mankind. He didn't say All Muslims have to Salah spread the greeting
of peace, because Islam came to bring peace,
to bring the hearts together. You know, the CHE pan, one of the
agenda, the project of shaytan, Allah said, I have recited this
verse here.
Say I tell my servants, Allah says, to speak all that is good
and beautiful.
And remember, in the shaytaan eons ago by you know whom shaytan will
bring wrangler and the feeling, by the way, you use your words, by
the way you use, you talk to each other, in a straightener Connery
listening other one will be not very shaytan is the number one
enemy for humankind. So his agenda is to divide people so that he can
dominate he can control.
So how do we get rid bring us each other together, the profits are
allowed, Silva told us the first step towards that. Achieving that
route for one another is to remove that anger Ranga ill feeling
jealousy, hatred, malice,
from our hearts for whatever that has to do. Do not feel envious.
Don't be jealous. If Allah has blessed someone with something,
don't feel jealous or feel.
Even if it is knowledge or valid, don't feel jealous of it. But you
can say Allah blessed me with good work and good knowledge so that I
can serve you. Yes, you can wish you can pray to Allah that. But
other than that we cannot. But that doesn't mean what we are we
wish for the removal of that blessing from that person. No, we
have to wish good for everyone. And we should free our heart from
ill feeling Ranga and Molly's. You know there is a beautiful Hadith.
Once the Prophet was sitting with his companions. He told them and
you're going to someone is going to enter now.
He is a man of Jannah for sure.
And the Sahaba looking eagerly Who is this man who is going to come
and there comes a man from Ansari companion for Manesar. He is
holding his chapels in his left hand and he endured.
The Prophet repeated the same thing next day. Again the same man
comes
third day He repeated the same again the same man appears
then, you know young Companion of the Prophet Abdullah honorable
Ross is known for his eagerness to engage in prayer was good pious
deeds, good works.
When the man is purchased from the masjid Abdullah, number one Ross
followed him.
And he used a lie actually, he said to him, you know, I had a
little argument with my father. So I want to be I want to be your
guest.
Of course, in Islam that you know, guests are right three days, no as
no question asked. So he stayed with him three days to observe the
thing that he's going to do to see him the exemplary deeds so that he
can also emulate them because you want to be a man of Jannah
but Allah number last did not see anything special. He is praying,
you know, for the salah and the Sunnah. That is recommended. But
he didn't even pray tahajud he didn't wake up for Tajan by he
heard him twisting and turning in the bed saying Subhanallah
Alhamdulillah making vicar.
So, three days he stayed and then he told him Look, there was
nothing wrong between me and my father. I just wanted to be your
guest because Rasulullah sallallahu wasallam said this
three times you endured. So I wanted to see what is that special
thing that you're doing so that I can also emulate your beautiful
example.
The man said, there is nothing else I do as far as I remember.
And then of course, Abdullah was going back going away. The men
called him back and said to him, perhaps I should
I'm telling you one thing I made sure as I wake up in the morning,
I harbor no malice or ill feeling towards anyone.
I'm loving number one Ross said to him. Now I know the secret of why
Rasulullah sallallahu wasallam praise you. This is indeed a great
virtue that I would like to follow in my life. So removing that
feeling from our hearts for one another, and establishing that
mutual love. And the prophets of Allah ism said, believers will
stand together with one another in solidarity. They strengthen each
other, they support each other, they're careful into
showing compassion for each other, and they will love each other and
do what is good for one another. And the Prophet sallallahu
wasallam taught us many things that we can implement. One of the
first thing we need to start with our family is
to say to our children, I love you. I love you, my son. I love
you, my daughter, I love you, my grandson, I love you for my
granddaughter. And of course, husband and wife should be able to
say to one another, we love you. We love each other. I love you, my
dear wife, the wife should be able to say I love you, my dear
husband. The Prophet said that if you love someone say that, that
you will love him and repeat that. And of course, there are many
beautiful examples in the life of Rasulullah sallallahu sallam.
One man cave comes to him and said, referring to another man
Yara Sora I love this man.
Okay, if you love that man, go and tell him I love you.
Today I am, you know, the fact is that we think they expressing this
LAO and saying to one another, I love you is something you know,
objectionable. Because we are becoming very, very serious. And
that is not the man or lifestyle of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi
salam, the prophet confronted the people and told them, he told his
son, he's got his daughter, his grandchildren, that he loved them.
He told people he loved them, every single person thought
Rasulullah sallallahu wasallam loves him better than others
actually. And that is why each one would refer to Rasulullah as my
family as my bosom friend.
So this is one thing we need to start implementing from our home.
If you never set your Wi Fi love you start saying that if you don't
say to your children, I love you start saying that and practice it
Inshallah, this is a very important concept, practically
because cognitive, you know, this kind of changes, you know, minor
changes in our life, when done repeatedly is going to make a
difference, and also greet each other with peace Salaam. And what
does it mean? You know, I wish you the best. You can feel secure and
safe from me. You cannot expect any evil from me. I love you as I
love myself. I bet in nursing motto hate bullying of sick. So
this is the greatest idea in Islam, loving for the other person
what you love for yourself and express it by greeting a Salam
alaykum Peace be to you at the mercy of Allah subhanho wa taala.
And the third thing is renewed that ill feeling and hatred for
whatever there forgive each other people are to each other. You
know, shaytan comes to use this to divide and bring enmity and hatred
and make this each group is fighting the other. Each one is
fighting the other. Each nation is fighting the other. Today we see
it on the global level nations fight. They want to look could a
teacher exterminate each other and in a country, one, you know,
religious party or one caste one to eliminate the other. You know
Islam came to bring the hearts together totally full globe. So we
need to start with our own community. We need to reconcile
our differences in terms that are beneficial ethical and moral. And
the Prophet sallallaahu Salam said Dawn harbor suspicion about your
brother or sister thing the best that you can unless you have no
reason to excuse always think good of the other. Even if this person
has made a mistake. Try
To think of the good thing that he has done and eschewed each other,
forgive each other, forgive the offences, forgive the mistakes,
because Allah has borrowed the law tells us or whatever says,
Forgive, forget and forgive. If you want Allah to forgive you
forgive each other. So the prophets that allowed Islam came
with the mission of Islam and liver probe, bringing the hearts
together. And he did that miraculous achievements of
Rasulullah sallallahu. Islam, a nation that divided by war
tribalism, the Prophet brought them all together on terms of
Islamic Brotherhood to treat each other as brothers. It to such an
extent that Abdullah and Omar early alone said, you know, Islam
taught us this sense of brotherhood, that if a person is
has an extra Dirham,
he will think he is no more more deserving of it than his brother.
This is the kind of sharing their practice. This is the kind of
compassion and empathy the practice. So we have these
beautiful ideas in Islam, we need to implement it. So remove the
anger, rank, our malice, and also praying for one another.
wishing the best for each other, rendering a car for each other,
advising each other. So if the immigrant comes here, and he's
struggling to find a job, advise him how to get a job. If he
doesn't know how to write a resume, teach him how to do the,
if he doesn't have the skills, necessary qualifying to get a job,
advise him how to upgrade his skills. So this is the tenacity,
tenacity, you know, advising each other, wishing the best for each
other, helping each other to do the best, realizing the best in
their lives, and of course, exchanging visits. Of course, in
the COVID lockdown, we cannot do that. By exchanging gifts the
prophets are allowed us inside the huddle, you're exchanging gifts so
that you will strengthen the allow for one on the middle. Last one,
what Allah help us inspire us to achieve excellence in our faith by
following the beautiful examples that ideal set by the Quran and
the exam is practiced by Rasulullah Salallahu Salam,
surely, we will build our community stronger and stronger,
and help each other in realizing the best of what Allah want us to
achieve in this life so that we can get pregenerated for those who
already have our stock for a lady with a coupe.
