My dear respected elders and brothers,
we are in the month of Rabiul Awal,
which is the month in which our beloved
Nabiya Kareem was
born, and also he passed away in the
very same month.
Now normally, when a month of comes,
we tend to discuss
various aspects of the life of our beloved
Nabiya Karim.
We have to make a disclaimer in this
that
we believe that it is not
compulsory that we only make mention of Nabiya
Karim SAWS'alam's life in Rabula world.
We believe to make mention
of any aspect of the life of Nabiya
Karim SAWS'alam
at any time
in any aspect of Nabiya Kareem's
life, it is full of blessings
and worthy of reward.
And what can we say with regard to
our beloved Nabiya Kareem,
The poet of Nabiya Kareem has
in many ways
done this qumma a great service
by penning
and composing those beautiful words with regard to
Nabiya Kareem
Salaam.
More beautiful than you.
No eyes have ever set sight upon.
More graceful and elegant,
and more composed, and more beautiful in character,
no mother has ever given birth to.
It is as if you have been created
the way you wish.
Like how someone makes a design and tells
someone that you make me according to the
specification.
Allah made you according to your specification.
But Allah made you. Allah created you. As
great as you are,
but Allah created you. Allah is the creator.
He's the creator of you and I. He's
the creator of our beloved Nabiya Kareem and
it is as if he created
you the way you wanted to be created.
And he created you free from all faults
and flaws.
We can never ever do justice
in relating or hearing the praises of our
beloved.
However, one thing we must keep in mind
that we should never mystify the life of
Nabiya Kareem
That we say he is so great
that we fail to take benefit from him.
After all,
had said,
we have made you a perfect example.
So Allah has made his life a perfect
example of how to lead our life. And
let me give an example of a sample
and example.
You go to a tailor, and you go
to a designer,
and you tell him, see, I am giving
you the sample.
Make the kurta according to the sample. Now
if that particular kurta, designer or the tailor
makes the kurta
in a way that the sleeve is shorter
than the sample that you have given him,
what will you tell him? I gave you
the sample, couldn't you go according to the
sample I gave you?
I gave you a sample to do it
exactly according to the sample, why didn't you
do it according to the sample? Allah is
telling us the same thing.
I gave you in the prophet of almighty
Allah, a perfect example for us to follow
in our life.
And may we be sacrificed upon Nabiya Karim,
salaam. Allah
made his life in such a situation
that different stages came upon his life,
so that you and I can benefit from
his life.
If Nabiya Kareem saw a salam at once,
he was a husband, he was a father,
he was a teacher,
he was a student
at the at the feet of Hazrat
He was sometimes in a battle, he was
victorious.
Sometimes he suffered a setback.
Why did sometimes he was that for several
months there was no food in his house,
and sometimes there was wealth at his disposal.
Why did Allah put him through all of
these different
situations
so that his life can be an example
to us in our multifaceted
type of situations and circumstances
we find ourselves in? That is why Allah
put him through different situations.
Sometimes there was happiness, sometimes there was grief,
sometimes there was victory, sometimes there was setbacks.
All of that, so that his life can
be an example.
Today, I want to speak to you about
how Nabiya Karim salallahu alaihi wa sallam interacted.
Brother, Zasira
is a flowing stream
which is a source of continuous
wisdom and guidance,
not only till the time of Nabiya Karim
salallahu alaihi wa sallam till the end of
time.
Whenever we won, we will find an example
of our beloved Nabiya Karim, saw as salam.
Today I want to discuss how Nabiya Karim,
saw as salam. Today I want to discuss
how Nabiya Karim interacted.
Firstly, how did he interact with Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala?
We know that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is
the king of kings.
He is the King of all kings. He
is the ruler of all rulers. He gives
rulers
rulership and kingdom to who whomsoever He wishes.
He gives respect to whomsoever He wishes. He
disgraces whomsoever He wishes. He honors whomsoever He
wishes. Allah
And He is also the creator of
Nabiya Karim saw salam. How did Nabiya Karim
saw salam interact with him?
Subhanallah.
I said,
was one of our very great scholars.
So he he was a very good, you
know, poet. So in Urdu, he says these
beautiful words.
I saw a person who was the most
beautiful, the most graceful, the most elegant, the
most beautiful person a person could ever wish
to see. He was such a great person,
that Allah
takes an oath on the city in which
he resides in.
I take an oath by the city because
I take an oath by the city because
you reside in the city. Allah took an
oath by his life
Allah took an oath by his speech.
He was such a great person that when
he said yes to something, it became halal.
When he became when he said no to
something, it became haram.
He was such a great person. And he
said for a moment, I thought whenever I
have any difficulty.
I will go and ask such a great
person that he must help me. So he
say, went through the means of his biography,
went through the means of his history.
I wanted to go to ask him I
went to go and knock at his door
I went to go go knock at his
door
what did I go and see? I saw
the entire creation was sleeping and this great
human being was crying in front of someone
else
and he was making this dua into.
Oh, allah, if you punish
my Ummat, you are entitled to punish them
because they are your servants.
If you forgive them,
you have the power to forgive them also
if you so wish. Then this person said,
I made a decision.
Don't go to such great people for assistance.
Go to that being where even such great
people go and ask assistance from.
He he went to Allah Ta'ala. How did
he worship? Look at the duas that he
made. I said,
has written a book. The prophet
made the mirror of his supplication.
And in this book he said, every dua
nabi occurring saw was made was full of
wisdom.
It that dua could only emanate from the
the lips of a nabi.
One of the duas that I will just
show you. You see in our as human
beings sometimes we have 2 extremes.
One extreme is we think very much about
ourselves,
and one extreme is we can debase ourselves.
We cannot give ourself the importance that Allah
has given us as human beings. Look at
our Nabiya Karim salawasulam,
made the beautiful moderate path between these two
extreme when he made dua Allahu Majaalfi aynin
sabira.
Oh, Allah, make me insignificant in my eyes,
but give me respect in the eyes of
other people.
Where can this du'a come but only from
the lips of a Nabi? Make me insignificant
in my eyes, but make me respectable in
the eyes of people.
He she showed people how to relate with
every different class and category of people.
He related with his family, subhanallah.
He had so many different wives,
but and each and every wife had a
different temperament.
Hazar Umay Salma, when she got married to
Nabiya Karim Salasam, she said, you Rasool, I'm
prepared to get married to you, but I've
got certain, you know, certain sensitivities. I'm very
sensitive.
I got children. Nabi Karim saw a saloon
said I will take care of your sensitivity.
I will look after your children. She was
sensitive.
Hazrat Aisha was
young. Hazrat Khattija
was matured.
Everyone Nabi Karim saw a saloon showed the
right temperament,
and showed the right way in dealing with
every one of his wives,
not one of his wives was ever angry
or was ever against him,
so much so that when he caught nabuwat,
he came to his house, where did he
come? He came to his house, and he
came to zal khadid early Allahu Ta'ala and
he said
I'm
afraid whether I will be able to bear
this responsibility
or not or not
I always make mention of this that when
the Nabi of Allah had a problem or
he had a difficulty, he had a challenge,
he went first to his house, he went
to his wife
and he related the situation
and I'll only make make mention of this
humorous incident today, a muslim woman
spends half her life
looking for a husband and the other half
wondering where he is.
No. No. That was not the case. Nabi
saw Islam came and he said
what it doesn't
Perhaps in today's time maybe your wife would
have said, you Allah, she perhaps would have
said
that you are only seeing, you know, illusions
of grandeur.
You think you are very great? What did
she say?
Look at your character, you are all the
time bending relationship,
you are entertaining guest, You are bringing people
together. You are taking the path of those
who are underprivileged
and those who are poor. You are always
taking up the cause of global causes. Whether
other people accepting you or not, I as
your wife bear witness that you are the
true messenger of Allah.
The first person to bear witness to the
greatest truth created by Allah was a woman
and that to his wife.
Today you and I made the mistake. We
must have good akhlaq and character and conduct
to people outside the house and don't care
about the people of the house. First you
show and display your conduct to the people
in the house,
then you display your conduct to people outside
the house.
I don't have the time to elaborate on
that, but I just want to give you.
So how Nabiya Karim dealt with people who
are in his house, you know? How he
how he created a family situation. I said,
Aisha radiya bowdhanahu was asked, what did Nabiya
Karim do when he came come into the
house? He said he did normal household chores.
He cleaned whatever, he cleaned the house, he
packed his clothes,
he looked after his own situation.
This is what he did when he came
into the house, he helped with the household
activities.
In Gujarati today, if someone do something like
that, what do we say? I took biology.
But then maybe often that an Adidas,
our contact must first be at our house
before we show it to other people. Then
how did he deal with his, you know,
his companions?
Subhanallah.
He when he related to his companions
he always
encouraged them to do good.
He didn't demoralize them.
He encouraged them. Hazem radiAllahu ta'ala was one
of his companions that he loved too much.
He loved him tremendously.
One day he told him, You Mu'az
innee oh hibbuq.
O'mu'az I love you.
Unawaz say that no other companion,
the nary of Allah use such words.
Oh, Allah help me remembering you and making
Ibadan of you in the correct manner and
being grateful to you.
Ah, the way he taught him was encouragement.
Mu'ad said I never ever
left out that dua for the rest of
my life.
He encourage
him. Not like today we demoralize people. We
call them names, we call them the worst
type of things and then we tell them
become become a woman and practice upon the
deen of almighty Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. How
do you bring people to practice upon the
deen of Allah? When you demoralize them, you
degrade them, you debase them, you call them
names, you label them and then you say
you must become biased.
The lobby of Allah lifted people
and that is what you and I have
to do especially in this age that you
and I are living in. It's an age
where people have been pulled towards materialism.
They have been pulled against religion.
We need to be able to lift and
give people moral courage. That's what our beloved
Nabi Karim
did. He encouraged people. Even the people who
are neglectful,
Nabi Karim
reminded them, the people who are ignorant need
to be educated.
The people who are neglectful, we need to
be reminding them. SubhanAllah, how did our beloved
Nabiya Karim salawahu alaihi wa sallam do this?
It's amazing.
A person,
one day, you know, was found drinking alcohol
in the time of Nabiya Karim salawahu alaihi
wa sallam. Can you imagine in the Mubarak
era? So of course in Islam there's a
punishment for it while they were punishing him
while they were punishing him, once Sahabi said
may Allah disgrace you, and then he said
how dare you say something like this?
He has love for Allah in his Rasool.
Don't say, Allah, disgrace him. You are helping
shaitan against him. You're gonna say you're gonna
tell Allah, disgrace him, you're gonna turn him
away from Allah. You're helping shaitan against him.
Bring him closer,
don't disgrace him,
don't say, may Allah disgrace you, bring him
closer, he will come right.
A person came to and said, You Rasulullah,
allow me to commit adultery.
What will happen today if someone comes to
an alim and make a salah? Allow me
to commit adultery. What did Nabi sahassalam said?
He knew he was ignorant, he was neglectful.
He reminded him, oh my oh my companion.
If someone does this to your mother, your
sister, your aunt, will you like it? No,
you're a sullah, I won't like it.
So whoever you gonna commit adultery will be
the mother, will be the daughter, will be
the sister of someone, will they like it?
Subhanallah, how he explained it?
Those who are neglectful deed to be brought
towards and they need to be reminded. The
Liby of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala dealt with
royalty
and then he dealt with all 3 people
and he dealt with each and everyone appropriately.
There was a Sahabi who used to come
from
from the from the village in the desert.
His name was Sahir bin Haram. He was
an ordinary person. He used to come
from the desert and normally you get things
in the desert and you get things in
the village which you don't get in the
city, and sometimes
you get things in the city which you
don't get in the desert. So whenever he
used to come from the desert, he used
to bring those things you get in the
desert, you don't get in the city, And
Nabiya Kelim saw Islam used to give him
things that you find in the city, you
don't get in the desert, and Nabi saw
Islam say, he is my desert, I'm his
city. He is my desert, am I his
city. Subhanallah. One day he came, he was
selling things
that he brought from the desert and he
was selling it in the marketplaces of Madinah.
Nabi Karim loved him tremendously. He used to
make Nabi Karim
laugh. So one day Nabi Karim came while
he was selling it and he put his
hand, he blindfolded him. So he tried to
wriggle out of the embrace
but not knowing who he was who it
was
then he realized the fragrance of Nabiya Karim
saw Surim,
he realized the fragrance of Nabiya Karim saw
Surim and then he brought his broad body
closer to Nabiya Karim saw salam to benefit
from the mubarak,
body of Nabiya Karim saw salam
and then Nabiya Karim saw salam realized that
he came to know who I am Then
Nabiya Karim salallahu alayhi wa sallam, what did
Nabiya Karim salallahu alayhi wa sallam do? He
said, who will buy the slave from me?
Who will buy the slave from me?
Suzais said, You Rasulullah,
what are you gonna sell me? I am
worthless.
But I got no no no value.
And Nabiya Karim Sarsom said, wallahi,
indallahi
lays that bikaseh.
O za'il I take an oath.
By Allah
in the eyes of Allah you are not
worthless.
An ordinary villager,
he gave him so much
of so much of honor
by Allah in the eyes of Allah you
are not you are not just honorable, you
are steadfast.
Adi bin Harbin came, he was a great
ruler. Nabiya Karim saw Islam, long story, I
won't go into it. So what I'm saying,
he dealt with ordinary people, he dealt with
royalty.
When Adi bin Harbin came into his room,
Nabiya Karim saw Islam was only one cushion.
Nabiya Karim gave him a cushion. Although he
was a non Muslim.
He was a non Muslim. Nabiya Karim gave
him a cushion, and Nabiya Karim saw aslim
respected him. And there was only 1 cushion
in the room, and he gave it to
him. Subhanallah.
This is how he dealt with people. He
won people over.
You know,
they were enemies,
he transformed them into friends,
he transformed them into companions.
Abdullah bin Mahzura,
just think of this incident.
Salaamu sbarb jisnegariasunkarduhaedim
salaam upon that particular
being
who listen to abuse
and he gave people to us
He made and he transformed enemies into friends.
Today we turn friends into enemies.
We make muslims into and
he was the one who made into muslims
by his and conduct. So after the conquering
of Makkah
so after the conquering of Makkah you conquer
a city there's a certain degree of
resentment that is in the hearts of people
whom you have conquered.
So after the first conquering of Makkah, azan
is given. Youngsters made a mockery of the
azan,
youngsters made a mockery of the azan
and forefront amongst them was Abdullah bin Hazura.
So he was making a mockery of the
azaan by saying it in a funny manner.
Nabi Ibrahim saw a salam came to them
all of a sudden now they are, you
know, afraid.
The conqueror has come
and Nabiya Karim said who made the azaan
in a funny manner and I was in
there identified as a person. Nabiya Karim
said recite the azaan. He said I don't
know it. Nabiya Karim put his hand over
my head with Muhammad
he cut us my face and he said
I will teach you.
He said he taught me the Hazan word
to word.
He taught me the Hazan word to word.
Abdullah bin Mahzura he was 16 17 years
of age said before this occasion
the most hateful person in my eyes was
Muhammad,
Muhammad
after this he became the most beloved person
in my eyes I said You Rasulullah
and now I became a Muslim I said
You Rasulullah
allow me to give the aza in Kaaba
Baytullah,
Nabi Karim appointed
him as the first muhazid
after the conquering of mankind,
the person who was
making a mockery of the aza
became the Muasil of Kaaba in Baytullah.
How? Because of the way Nabiya Karim
did it. Nabiya salallahu alaihi wa sallam identified
talent,
he saw a person had, you know, intelligence.
He came to Makkah,
you know, in the Umraqul Qadah in the
7th year after his reach. So in that
particular incident he saw waleed bin waleed, the
brother of Khalid. Khalid where? Waleed, where is
your brother Khalid?
Khalid,
your brother Khalim,
an intelligent person like him cannot be oblivious
of the beauty of Islam.
Tell him to come to us, we will
give him respect,
and we will we will appreciate
his potential.
When Khali comes back, Walid said he left
a letter for his brother.
When he drew Khali, you ran away, the
prophet of Allah was speaking about you and
he was praising you.
Read the letter and said, this is the
person
whom I cause so much harm and he
is telling me that I have potential, and
he is telling me to come to him
so that he can appreciate that potential.
He comes and he becomes a Muslim. And
Khalil,
the one who caused the setback for the
Muslims in wahad, becomes sayfullah.
Because of the way Nabiya Karim saw as
salam interacted with him.
Brothers, I ask you this question, are we
interacting with the people in this way? That
we transform people who are never seen to
friends. We transform people who are far from
us, we bring them nearer to us. Nabiya
Karim saw as salam said,
Give people red tidings.
Don't make them hate Islam.
Make things easy for people. Don't make things
difficult for people.
This is what we are supposed to do,
my dear respected brothers. Hazrat Aisha
said that Nabiya Khaliem
never when he was given the option of
2 things
between ease and difficulty, he always chose the
easy path path.
So one of ease until that particular unless
that particular part of ease was a sin,
then he stayed away from it. This is
the way we are supposed to interact with
people, my dear respected brothers, so that when
we interact, we create an impact.
We show people the beauty of Islamic teachings.
May Allah
give you an either tawfiq or understanding the
sunnah of our beloved Nabiya Karim salawasalam in
all his facets. So that we can bring
it into our life and show people the
beauty of akhla, the beauty of interaction. And
when we interact with people, my dear respected
brothers, the way we will
see a difference in our families.
We'll see a difference in our communities.
We'll see a difference in our Ummah. Because
today,
we are not displaying
the sunnah conduct to one another. That is
why we see the turmoil in our communities
and societies.
