Inshallah, it's a blessed evening.

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

We celebrate the birth of greatest human being

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

who ever lived, will ever live,

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

our master Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam.

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

Just say a few things, inshallah. I don't

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

know any Farsi poetry, so

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

I'll say a few things, inshallah. I'll quote

00:00:18 --> 00:00:19

some.

00:00:20 --> 00:00:20

So,

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

the the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam is

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

our greatest benefactor from humanity,

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

and he benefits us

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

in all three stages of his

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

life. I mean, there's there's more than 3

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

stages, but the 3 stages that we're familiar

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

with

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

is Hayat,

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

dunyaawiyah.

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

The prophet

00:00:42 --> 00:00:43

is when he was with the Sahaba,

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

he was asking forgiveness for his ummah.

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

So Allah

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

says,

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

It is part of the incredible mercy of

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

Allah

00:01:04 --> 00:01:06

And there's so much emphasis in the Arabic.

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

It's hard to even

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

no translation is even close.

00:01:10 --> 00:01:13

It is the incredible, incredible mercy of Allah

00:01:14 --> 00:01:16

that you have lean, you have gentleness.

00:01:16 --> 00:01:19

If you are harsh or hard hearted, ghalid

00:01:19 --> 00:01:21

alqalb, thick of heart, you would have seen

00:01:21 --> 00:01:23

people flee from your presence.

00:01:24 --> 00:01:25

This is very important,

00:01:25 --> 00:01:26

you know,

00:01:26 --> 00:01:29

to internalize the sunnah of the prophet salallahu

00:01:29 --> 00:01:31

alaihi wasallam, especially with our families, especially men

00:01:31 --> 00:01:34

with wives. This is very very important. Women

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

are compromised physically.

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

Men are more stoic than women, generally.

00:01:38 --> 00:01:39

And the prophet

00:01:40 --> 00:01:42

he treated his wives with kindness, with mercy.

00:01:43 --> 00:01:46

This is extremely important. The inward sunnah.

00:01:55 --> 00:01:56

From his signs is that he made from

00:01:56 --> 00:01:58

you spouses that you might live

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

that you have sakina with your spouses.

00:02:04 --> 00:02:05

The house is called a meskan.

00:02:06 --> 00:02:08

It's a place of security for the woman.

00:02:08 --> 00:02:10

If she doesn't feel like her house is

00:02:10 --> 00:02:11

a place of security and safety,

00:02:12 --> 00:02:14

then the husband has failed in his duty

00:02:14 --> 00:02:15

of being a husband.

00:02:16 --> 00:02:19

This is extremely important. How did our mother

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

Ayesha

00:02:20 --> 00:02:22

Radhi Allahu Anha describe the prophet

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

He

00:02:26 --> 00:02:27

was

00:02:28 --> 00:02:29

a man from among the men.

00:02:30 --> 00:02:31

A great man.

00:02:35 --> 00:02:36

The prophet

00:02:37 --> 00:02:38

never ever used

00:02:39 --> 00:02:42

filthy language. He never threatened anyone in the

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

household.

00:02:43 --> 00:02:44

He never used bad language.

00:02:45 --> 00:02:45

He never,

00:02:46 --> 00:02:48

scared his his wives, this type of thing.

00:02:48 --> 00:02:50

This is extremely important.

00:02:55 --> 00:02:57

If you had been harsh, people would have

00:02:57 --> 00:02:58

fled from you,

00:02:59 --> 00:03:01

you see. The prophet salallahu alaihi wa sallam,

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

people did not flee from him.

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

He brought people together. Look at his Sahaba.

00:03:05 --> 00:03:07

Where are they from? All over the world.

00:03:07 --> 00:03:08

Look at the Muslim Ummah.

00:03:08 --> 00:03:11

His message is uniting everybody. Many, many people

00:03:11 --> 00:03:12

in the West right now converting to Islam

00:03:12 --> 00:03:13

for different reasons.

00:03:14 --> 00:03:17

One reason is all of these amarata sa'a

00:03:17 --> 00:03:18

are coming true.

00:03:18 --> 00:03:20

Everything he says in this Even these Some

00:03:20 --> 00:03:22

of these hadith are very weak, but they

00:03:22 --> 00:03:24

come true. Of course, a weak hadith is

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

not Mudur.

00:03:25 --> 00:03:27

There's just a little problem here and there.

00:03:27 --> 00:03:29

It's not a it's not an a plus

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

hadith,

00:03:30 --> 00:03:31

but these things come true, and people are

00:03:31 --> 00:03:33

starting to notice these things.

00:03:35 --> 00:03:36

Forgive them.

00:03:37 --> 00:03:39

And the ulama say, Imam Al Razi

00:03:39 --> 00:03:40

says,

00:03:40 --> 00:03:42

forgive them for things that they do against

00:03:42 --> 00:03:43

you personally.

00:03:44 --> 00:03:45

But things that they do against Allah, ask

00:03:45 --> 00:03:49

forgiveness for them. Make Istighfar for them. The

00:03:49 --> 00:03:51

prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam in his life,

00:03:51 --> 00:03:52

his hayat, dunyaawiyah,

00:03:52 --> 00:03:54

was making istighfar of his ummah.

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

Her mother Aisha said

00:03:57 --> 00:03:59

that the prophet salallahu alayhi wasalam was standing

00:03:59 --> 00:04:00

all night. Qama,

00:04:01 --> 00:04:03

he was he was he was standing. The

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

ayatan,

00:04:03 --> 00:04:06

layla, one ayah he was reciting the whole

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

night.

00:04:06 --> 00:04:08

One ayah into adhbhibhoomth

00:04:08 --> 00:04:09

inna whom

00:04:12 --> 00:04:13

the end of Al Maidah.

00:04:14 --> 00:04:16

If you forgive them, if you punish them,

00:04:16 --> 00:04:17

they are your servants.

00:04:18 --> 00:04:19

But if you forgive them, then you are

00:04:19 --> 00:04:21

great and wise. And she said he repeated

00:04:21 --> 00:04:23

his ayah over and over and over and

00:04:23 --> 00:04:25

over, then he collapsed into sajdah

00:04:26 --> 00:04:29

and heard him say, umati, umati, You Rab,

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

umati.

00:04:30 --> 00:04:33

So he makes istighfar for his ummah during

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

his life.

00:04:34 --> 00:04:35

He makes istighfar

00:04:35 --> 00:04:38

for his ummah and his hayat, and the

00:04:39 --> 00:04:40

life he is in now.

00:04:42 --> 00:04:42

So,

00:04:43 --> 00:04:43

what

00:04:44 --> 00:04:45

does Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala say in the

00:04:45 --> 00:04:46

Quran?

00:04:59 --> 00:05:01

That if only when they had wronged their

00:05:01 --> 00:05:03

theirselves, they had come to you

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

and Allah subhan and they asked Allah subhanahu

00:05:06 --> 00:05:07

wa ta'ala for forgiveness,

00:05:07 --> 00:05:10

and then the messenger asked forgiveness for them,

00:05:11 --> 00:05:12

They would have found Allah,

00:05:13 --> 00:05:15

relenting and merciful.

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

Go to the messenger of Allah salallahu alaihi

00:05:18 --> 00:05:21

salam. He's asking forgiveness for us.

00:05:22 --> 00:05:24

In his state right now, he's asking forgiveness

00:05:24 --> 00:05:25

for us.

00:05:27 --> 00:05:28

This hadith is sound hadith

00:05:29 --> 00:05:32

that your deeds are presented to me.

00:05:35 --> 00:05:37

If I see good, I praise Allah. If

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

I

00:05:44 --> 00:05:45

kiyama,

00:05:47 --> 00:05:48

And then on the

00:05:50 --> 00:05:52

is Hayat Ukhrawiya.

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

He asked forgiveness for his ummah.

00:05:55 --> 00:05:58

He is the shafi'i wal mushafa. He is

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

the intercessor and the one whose intercessor

00:06:01 --> 00:06:03

is accepted. And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will

00:06:03 --> 00:06:05

accept his intercession for his ummah.

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

So first and foremost,

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

let's increase in our love for the messenger,

00:06:11 --> 00:06:13

sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, and realize what he's

00:06:13 --> 00:06:13

done for us,

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

and then we must internalize

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

his sunnah. He said if the Dajjal comes

00:06:18 --> 00:06:19

to you,

00:06:20 --> 00:06:22

and I am among you,

00:06:23 --> 00:06:24

then I will contend with him.

00:06:25 --> 00:06:27

Right? But another way to read this is

00:06:28 --> 00:06:29

I am in you, I've internalized.

00:06:30 --> 00:06:32

You have internalized me.

00:06:33 --> 00:06:35

My sunnah is in you,

00:06:35 --> 00:06:37

right? My huluq is in you,

00:06:38 --> 00:06:41

my jamaal is in you, my jalal is

00:06:41 --> 00:06:43

in you. These things are within you, you've

00:06:43 --> 00:06:45

internalized them. Dajjal can't have any effect on

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

you. I will contend on your behalf.
