Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam,
he is the beloved of God.
He is Habibullah.
And we read in our traditions that there
was a group of Sahaba and they were
discussing al Anbiya, the prophets.
And
they were talking about Ibrahim alaihi salam and
Musa alaihi salam and Isa
and the prophet he
came out to them and he heard their
conversation.
And he said, you are right,
Musa alayhis salam,
because Ibrahim alayhis salam is Khalilullah.
He is the friend of Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala
And Musa Alaihi Salam is Kalimullah.
He is the one who,
whom Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala spoke to.
And Aesha alayhi salam is ruh Allah,
a spirit owned by Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
And he said,
Said, I am the beloved of God
and I am the master of the children
of Adam
and I'm not boasting.
The prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam,
he's being commanded to tell this reality to
the Sahaba.
It's not a boast. He's not bragging. This
is just reality
that he is the master
of humanity.
He's the beloved of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
And the Sahaba loved him
with a love that is beyond comprehension.
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala describes this love
in the Quran.
The prophet is closer to the believers
than their own selves.
The believers prefer the life of the Prophet
Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam over their own
lives.
And when the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
passed into the mercy of his Lord, there
were Sahaba who never recovered from this.
They never recovered
until the end of their life.
Right? They say Sayida Fatima alaihis salam,
she died from a broken heart.
They say,
the safe shoke
that she she was slain with the sword
of
of longing,
in love for her father.
This is the type of love.
Right? They say that Sayna Bilal this is
mentioned in our history books.
Our ulama have quoted it.
Sayna Bilal ibn Rabaha al Habashi radhiallahu anhu.
This was a man who was being tortured
in Mecca
and the message of the Prophet sallallahu alaihi
wasallam
raised him up
literally on the Kaaba to make Adhan.
How much love do you think Bilal had
for the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam? How much
love? He saved him in every single way.
When the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam passed
away into the mercy of his Lord,
Sayyidina Bilal cannot even remain in Medina
because everything reminded him of the prophet salallahu
alaihi wasalam. And he had this very strong
separation anxiety.
So he went to Damascus
and he was there for a couple a
year less than a year or something like
that.
And then he saw a rutya.
Right? And the prophet says,
And this hadith is
Whoever sees me in a dream has truly
seen me.
Right? And the prophet said,
what
is this what is this distance, O Bilal?
What is this aversion? What is this distance?
So Sayna Bilal, he immediately comes into Medina.
Okay. He comes into Medina
and Abu Bakr as Siddiq
greets him.
He says, Bilal,
please give us an adhan.
Right?
Like the adhan you used to make in
the days of the Messenger sallallahu alaihi wasallam.
Bilal says,
I can't do it. I just can't
do it. Right? And then Sayidina Umar
says, You Bilal,
just give us one adhan
so we can remember the days of the
Habib, sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
He said, I can't do it.
And then al Hassanayn,
Imam Hassan,
Imam Hussain, alaihul mus salam
who looked like the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam.
The llor must say from the neck down
Sayyidina Hussain looks like the Prophet sallallahu alaihi
wasallam and from the neck up Sayyidina Hassan
looks like the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam.
And they said,
give us an avan so we can remember
our grandfather.
Can't say no.
Hey, gonna say no.
Says, I'll try. So Bilal begins as adhan.
It's going okay.
And he collapses
just saying the name of his beloved
His knees give out.
This is the love we're talking about.
This beautiful love
that we have for the prophet
And the brother was right. Doctor. Mazin is
right. There's nothing like this deen.
This is truly a universal religion,
right? This is truly universal religion.
I mean, look at Hinduism, it's very much
tied to India,
you know, you look at Buddhism. There aren't
a lot of Buddhists outside the Buddhist world.
We know about Judaism.
Christianity,
Yani,
It's evolving and changing to
a company people.
I'll leave it at that
But this Deen is truly universal. There's nothing
like the Hajj.
And this is why they don't they don't
show the Hajj on TV a lot if
you notice. When's the last time you saw
footage of the live from the Hajj
in in Makar?
Because it is a powerful image.
It is a powerful image.
Right?
People are content with thinking of this religion
is for
Arabs or for a few people in the
Middle East.
This is a universal religion
and it began with yikra in a cave,
a single man,
iqra. Think about that. This is a miracle.
So may Allah
increase our love
for the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
May we embody the ayat,
the ayah, and nabiu aulah bil mumineenamanfusihim.
May we live up to this ayah.
May we live up to the hadith.
None of you truly believe until I am
more beloved
than his parents, his children, and the whole
of humanity.
May Allah
give us a tawfiq
to to,
realize this type of love.
