Ahmed Suleman Khatani – Prophet Muhammad The Epitome of Good Character

Once

our mother, Ayesha Allahu Taala anha,

was asked the question,

describe the morals, describe the day and night,

describe the akhlaq in character,

describe the way of life of Muhammadu Rasulullah sallallahu

alayhi wa sallam Abu

she could have went into a lengthy description

and Walla, if you are given the life of no Ali Salam, and every

second of that life is spent describing Rasulullah, sallAllahu,

sallam, we will still not do justice.

Yet. Look at the intelligence which Allah bestowed our

motherhood.

That she summed up this huge, monumental question in three

words.

What did she say? She said, kanakulu kuhul Quran, kanakaul

Quran, if you want to see the day, the night, the Constitution, the

message, the import, the way of life of the Quran. Then it is

Muhammad, Rasulullah, sallAllahu, alayhi wa sallam, the akhlaq and

character of rasulallah is the living embodiment of the Quran.

Now listen to this verse, Allah says lakadakana. Lakad,

kaanala, kumfi, Rasul, Ilahi, uswatun, hasana. You want Allah.

You want Jannat. You want forgiveness. You want Allah to

love you. You want honor in this world, you want prosperity. You

want, barakah, whatever you want.

It is contained in this verse of the Quran Allah says, for you in

Muhammad, Rasulullah, sallAllahu, alayhi wa sallam, uswat hasana.

Before I translate uswatun hasana, Allah says, For who is this? For

who is this? Niman Khan, arjulah, akhir WADA karallah, who believes

in Allah and in akhirat, the one who has Iman, the one who wants

Jannah, the one who wants Akira for him in Rasulullah Sallam is

uswatun hasana.

Allah did not say uswatun Kamila,

perfect, complete culmination that is car mail in Arabic, and

definitely to Rasulullah sallallahu, sallam, everything

reached perfection. Nubuwat reached perfection.

Just to illustrate this point, nubuwa reached perfection. Once,

Rasulullah sallallahu gave a paraben an example describing the

home of nubuvat from Adam Ali Salam to the last Nabi. He

described it as if a house was being built. And then he said they

were in the corner. There was one gap left, there was one gap left,

one brick still to come. And then he said, * laminatul, akhira

wa Anna fataman Nabi, I am the final brick. In other words, I am

the culmination, the completion of the home of nubuat through him was

the culmination, Completion, perfection of Islam. Ali OMA

Akmal, tulakum, dinakum Wat malikum, nyamati, what Adi Tula

Kumul Islam. Adina through him was the culmination completion,

perfection of ala boisto, Liu, tamli, Makani, like that. We can

go on culmination, Completion, perfection, Epitome. Height was

reached through Rasulullah. But interestingly, in this verse,

logically, it should have been uswatun Kamila, perfect example,

Allah does not say uswatun kami What does Allah say? Uswatun hasa

for you in Rasulullah Islam is the most beautiful example, the most

beautiful way of life.

Kamil is contained in this. But why beautiful? One reason Ola maki

RAM give, they say for beauty, you don't need a proof.

If someone tells you know what? It's a 14 full moon. I look at how

beautiful the moon is, and you say, Bye, Dalila, bring me one

proof. What do you name pagal? Are you lost your marbles? A woman is

beautiful. Something is attractive, beautiful. You don't

need a proof for it. You don't need a proof for it. In itself. It

has that magnetic attraction on the one explanation, the other

explanation, my respected brothers, Olam, I cannot give

laka, the kanala, kumfi, rasulallah, uswatun, hasana, what

is the quality of beauty that it attracts, it magnetizes. You don't

have to introduce or you don't have to give a Bayan or make a

skill, or convince somebody that you don't have to convince a human

being to go towards beauty. Allah has made this heart such

automatically, it is drawn towards beauty. What better way to explain

this? Few years ago in the Haram, you.

He was salam. He is the servant of Rasulullah sallallahu sallam. When

this child was 10 years old, mother came gave this child. She

said, Ya rasulallah, this is your Amana. I am making work up of my

son to serve you. And then what does he say? He says, khadam tum

Nabi, ya SallAllahu, alayhi wa sallam, ashravasinin. He says, I

was the servant of Nabi salal Islam for 10 years. For 10 years,

he was khadimur Rasul. And they say today, if you want to

understand, if you want to understand the character of a

person, if you want to understand the character of a person, if you

want to understand the metal of an individual, if you want to know

the inside of a person, there's two people you ask, one is the

wife and the other is the servant. One is the wife, the other is the

servant. You don't ask the outside world to fool the outside world is

very easy. Normally, when it comes to wives, my Ustad, he says, the

only time, the only time a woman has anything good to say about her

husband is before they get married and after he dies. In between,

very rarely you find a woman saying anything good about her

husband. Why? Because that is the crunch test the wife and the

servant, Allah, what? But this is not the topic. So I'm not going to

details. I'm just digressing. Anasadi Allahu, anhu, he said, I

served Rasulullah. SallAllahu, alayhi. He was salam for 10 years.

In that 10 year period, he never raised his voice at me. Once,

never raised his voice at me. Once, never scolded me. Once,

never insulted me. Once. This is sunnah. This is sunnah. How many

of us can say that about ourselves? How many of us can say

that about our staff. Masha, Allah, tahajjud, guzar is in his

place. Walla, this is harder.

This is harder. This is more difficult. But today we don't even

regard this as an aspect of Deen. Nevertheless, coming back to that

hadith, Rasulullah saw some addresses Ya Abu Naya, he says, Oh

my beloved son. He's talking to His servant, but he doesn't say,

Oh My servant, Oh my beloved Son, ya abuna in his Tata. And tuspiah

watums here, if you have the ability, if you have the ability.

And tuspiah watums here, that every morning and every evening.

What is this is, what does it mean? It means this is a 24 hour

battle. And it is not just a 24 hour battle. It is a what I'm

about to tell you, Rasulullah is telling Annas, and through Him the

whole ummat. This is a jihad and a war that you will have to wage,

not just morning and evening, not just when you are young, when you

are young, when you are old, when you are rich, when you are poor,

when you are healthy, when you are sick, wherever, whoever, whenever.

This is one Jihad that you will have to wage your entire life.

What jihad in istakata and tuspiha watumsia. This is ishara. This is

the indication that this is a lifelong battle, winter, summer,

autumn, anytime, any place. This is a lifetime battle. Fajr, you

only have to make mujada that time. Zohar, five Salah on the

time, Ramadan in its place, * in its place. Zakat once a year.

This is a lifelong battle. And tuspi, Hawa, tumsia, what battle?

Wale Safi kalbika rishonli akhad.

Wale Safi kalbika rishonli akhad O My Beloved Son, if you have the

ability that for your entire life, you adopt this quality that in

your heart, there is no nafrat, no malice, no dislike, no hatred, no

enmity, no jealous for any individual

clean this heart, whether he is a drunkard, whether he is visiting

the casinos, whether he whether you think your financial status

has made you somehow rather superior to him, whatever

language, whatever race he belongs to, every person you come into

contact with, my Navier is saying to Anas, clean this heart. Clean

this heart. Don't look down at that person. Don't have hatred for

that person. Don't have malice for that person. Don't carry a grudge

against that person. Unfortunately, today, my respected

brothers like how one nurtures a child, like how one brings up a

child. In our hearts, we nurture nafran, we nurture hatred, we

nurture jealousy, malice. Got a person who's got a problem with

his wife, he's got a problem with his children, he's got a problem

with his neighbor, he's got a problem with his friend. He's got

a problem with his friend. He's got a problem with everyone he

comes into contact with, and we feel we have been that and pious

in his Tata and tuskehawa, tumsia, Wales,

fafal, oh, my son, if you can do this, do this. Do this.

Us.

And what will Allah give you before I complete the Hadees, two

incidents they going to mention. Once, rasulallah sitting with

Sahaba,

he says to them that just now, from this door of the masjid, a

person who is going to enter, and that person is a janati.

That person is a Jannati. Imagine who is saying this Rasulullah,

this man in is walking in Madina is about to enter this Masjid. He

is a Jannati. Everyone's curiosity speaks. Who is this person? Who is

this Allama? Who is this bush? Gane, DEEN among Sava, an

ordinary, elderly Sahabi who had just finished making his wuzu. His

face was still wet. He enters the masjid

Navis said about him. He is a janati. Second day this happened.

Third day it happened. Same person. So among Sahaba, one

youngster, what was his name? Abdullah bin Amar bin Asmaa

kirama, of the opinion. This is Abu du Sahaba. This is Abu Sahaba.

Certain Sahaba excelled in certain aspects. The greatest Sabi was Abu

Bakar, the Allahu consensus. But they were distinctive aspects in

which certain Sahaba excelled. This youngster excelled in what in

Ibadan, it is mentioned about Abdullah bin Ahmed been asked that

his daily mamul He used to fast every day, make tahajjud the

entire night and make one khatam of the Quran every day. This was

the daily mamul of this youngster. Now he is hearing that there is a

jannathi. This elderly person is a janati. So his curiosity is peak.

I make so much Ibadan, how much Ibadan this person must be making?

So he hatches a plan. Comes in the rewired first ad for who Abdullah

bin Amar bin asks. Abdullah bin Amar bin asks, goes to the House

of this person, and he says, chacha

addresses him with respect. He says, Can I be your guest for a

few days? What? Why? He's not telling him why, but the plan is,

let me see what. What is the special Amal, this man is doing?

Nevertheless, he says, No problem. Become my guest. Abdullah bin

Ahmed bin ask himself, nave, he says, night time came. I hid under

the blanket, pretending to sleep, to see what he does. He says, this

old uncle entered the house after Isha lay down on the bed,

Allahumma, bismika, Muto akhiya, and snoring within a few minutes,

he says, waiting maybe 10 minutes time, 20 minutes time, half hour's

time, one hours time, two hours time, nothing is happening. This

man is still sleeping right up till the Azaan of Fajr. No Taj

also, he

says, maybe something happened today, so maybe I missed out on

something, because on the one hand, rasulallah Given the stamp.

This is the janati. So no, no question of doubting that. So

there must be something. I must second night, same thing. Third

night, same thing. Finally, he can't hold his curiosity anymore.

He says, I just made an excuse. I became your guest. Because this is

what Nami Islam said about you. What is so special that you are

doing? I haven't seen anything.

This person said, Brother, I am an open book. Whatever you saw that

is there. So

finally, Abdullah bin AMR in this uljan, in this confusion now he's

leaving the house,

then this elderly Savi calls him back

Allahu Akbar. What does he say to you? He says, There is one thing

Amma ini, abi to alayhi, Safi, kalbi, really Ahad. He says, Every

night, I can say with absolute conviction that when I go to sleep

in my heart, there is no negative sentiment against anyone. This

heart of mine is clean one thing and second thing, second thing, if

anyone in front of me prospers, becomes rich, gets get gets dealt

a good hand. I feel absolutely no jealousy or regret in my heart. In

fact, I am genuinely happy for that person. When Abdullah bin,

Ahmed bin asks Abu as what does he say? He doesn't just say yes. He

says,

Allah,

it is this. It is this that has caused my Nabi on three occasions

to say you are a janmati to complete that hadith. Oh, my

beloved Son, if you have the ability and to be hava tumsia

Morning and Evening your entire life, to make it such that in your

heart there is no nafrat for anyone for I'll do so. And then,

what does my Nabi say? Wadali ka Min sunnati. Wadali ka Min

sunnati, this is my special sunnat woman, ahaba sunnati, Sharat, the

one who loves this. Sunnat fakahabani, he loves me, and the

one who loves me, Kana mai filja.

Sunnah will be with Me in Jannat, illaman at Allah, Abu talibin

Salim, Allah says, meet Allah with a clean heart. Take out this

hafrat, bhasrat, take out this nafrat, take out this jealousy.

Cleanse This heart. This is sunnah. This is AK, and this is

what will draw humanity towards us. Allah, documentary you.
