00:00:16 --> 00:00:18
			This is the 3rd lecture
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:22
			on the topic, the place of Rasulullah
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:24
			in Islam.
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:25
			I ask Allah
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:27
			to help us to understand
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:30
			the exalted position of the Rasulullah, alayhis salam,
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:32
			in Islam and in our lives
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:34
			and to benefit from that and
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:36
			enable our lives to be filled
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:38
			with and
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:42
			All knowledge begins with Adam,
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:46
			an attitude of respect for knowledge and everything
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:48
			and everyone related to it.
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:51
			Adam is like the preparation of the soil
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:52
			for planting.
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:55
			Without preparation, the best seed will perish.
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:58
			So also with knowledge,
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:00
			especially in the knowledge of Islam.
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:03
			Without other, we may get the words, but
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:07
			never the noor, the light, the meaning, the
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:07
			understanding,
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:10
			leading to the possibility of transformation
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:12
			of our lives.
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:05
			Do not proceed in any matter
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:06
			before
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:10
			a decree from Allah and his messenger Sallallahu
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:14
			Alaihi Wasallam. Allah Subhana Wa Ta'la a little
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:18
			translation and I said, Do not put yourself
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:19
			ahead of.
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:22
			So don't take a step. Don't walk in
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:23
			front of.
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:26
			So do not proceed in any matter before
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:27
			a decree
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:29
			from Allah and his messenger
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:32
			and fear Allah, and surely Allah is all
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:34
			hearing, all knowing, oh believers.
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:37
			Do not raise your voices above the voice
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:39
			of the Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:39
			Alaihi Wasallam
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:43
			nor speak loudly to him as you do
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:44
			to one another
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:47
			or your deeds will become
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:49
			null and void
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:50
			while you are unaware.
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:54
			Your deeds will be wiped out.
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:56
			In our context,
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:57
			since Rasool Allah
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:00
			is not with us, this means that in
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:01
			any matter,
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:04
			we refer to the Quran and Surah for
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:04
			a ruling,
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:07
			and when we come across a text, we
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:09
			don't contradict it with our opinions,
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:12
			but accept the text with full submission.
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:15
			It means that we don't disregard or ignore
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:16
			what Rasulullah,
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:18
			alaihi salam, may have decreed
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:22
			and don't use our selfish desires
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:23
			to contradict that.
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:26
			That is the meaning
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:30
			of raising your voice over the voice
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:33
			of the Rasul, alayhis salam, and putting yourself
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:35
			ahead of Allah and his Rasul.
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:39
			The punishment for that is complete wiping out
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:40
			of all deeds.
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:43
			Imagine how terrible it would be
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:46
			that we spend our whole life
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:48
			doing all kinds of good deeds and acts
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:49
			of worship
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:50
			and charity,
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:53
			but because of loose talk and disrespect
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:55
			towards Rasulullah,
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:59
			it is all wiped out, and we have
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:01
			nothing when we meet Allah
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:04
			That is the reason why the Persian
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:05
			poet, he said,
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:13
			He said, be careful. He said, with Allah,
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:15
			Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, you can be,
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:19
			you can say whatever you like, but with
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:19
			Rasool
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:21
			Allah, he said, be very careful.
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:25
			In our so called worldly matters where we
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:27
			feel free to decide any way we want,
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:29
			whichever way it suits us,
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:30
			Allah
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:32
			specifically
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:33
			commands
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:35
			us to obey the Quran and the
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:05
			Allah and obey
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:10
			the messenger sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:12
			and those in authority among
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:15
			you, but if you disagree on anything,
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:17
			then refer it back to Allah
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:20
			and His Messenger. If you truly believe in
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:21
			Allah in the last day,
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:23
			this is the best
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:24
			and fairest
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:25
			resolution.
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:28
			This is one of the many ayats, one
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:30
			of the many ayats which remind us
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:32
			that this life
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:34
			is really the preparation
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:36
			for the Akhirah.
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:39
			It shows us that no aspect of our
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:41
			lives is outside the purview of Islam
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:44
			and that everything we say
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:46
			and and or do
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:49
			has the potential to take us to Jannah
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:51
			provided we do it
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:52
			as Rasulullah
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:56
			did it. And that is why it is
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:57
			so important
		
00:05:57 --> 00:05:58
			to study
		
00:05:58 --> 00:06:00
			and follow the sera.
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:02
			The big danger is when we are tempted
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:05
			to say, in my opinion, when we are
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:07
			faced with an ayah of the
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:08
			Quran
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:11
			or a Sahih Hadith of Rasulullah
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:15
			make a stefar and seek Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:16
			ta'ala's protection
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:19
			from shaitan when such a thought comes
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:21
			and never say that, because in my opinion
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:24
			is the door to disaster. It is a
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:25
			door to Jahannam.
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:28
			There is no place for any contradictory
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:31
			personal opinion when we have a text, the
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:32
			Quran or the Sunnah.
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:35
			This is the fundamental rule in Islam. I
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:38
			advised myself and you to be very careful
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:39
			with our language.
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:42
			We enter this deen by saying some words.
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:45
			It is equally easy to leave the religion
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:47
			if we say the wrong words.
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:50
			So let's think and weigh our words before
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:51
			we speak.
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:54
			Ask yourself, why Allah
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:55
			emphasized
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:57
			the messengership of Rasulullah
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:00
			so much and so many times?
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:02
			If he was merely a
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:06
			postman, as some people like to say. Let
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:08
			me assure you that to show the slightest
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:09
			disrespect
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:10
			to Rasulullah
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:14
			by using terms with that are not suitable
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:15
			to his exalted rank
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:18
			or to make fun of him or criticize
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:20
			him or denigrate his importance
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:23
			is not only a sign of gross ignorance,
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:26
			but kufr and takes one out of Islam.
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:28
			Allah
		
00:07:58 --> 00:08:00
			we were only joking. We were talking idly.
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:03
			Say to them, was it Allah
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:05
			and his revelations
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:07
			and his messenger
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:10
			that you ridiculed, that you were making fun
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:11
			of? Make no excuse.
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:14
			You have committed kufur. You have lost faith.
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:17
			You have gone out of Islam after your
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:17
			belief.
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:21
			If we pardon a group of you, we
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:24
			will certainly punish others for their wickedness,
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:26
			meaning that those who seek pardon will be
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:28
			pardoned, but it is possible that some of
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:29
			them,
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:32
			even after seeking pardon, will not be pardoned
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:34
			as we know from the Ayat of Suratul
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:38
			Tawba with respect to the. Allah
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:41
			warned us about people who make fun of
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:42
			Rasulullah
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:44
			who ridicule Allah
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:47
			and his promises and his messenger. Allah said
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:10
			Allah
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:16
			warned us about people like this, and he
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:18
			told us what to do. He said, he,
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:22
			has already revealed to you in the book
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:25
			that when you hear Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala's
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:25
			revelations
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:28
			being denied or ridiculed,
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:31
			then do not sit in that company unless
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:34
			they engage in a different topic or else
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:37
			you will be counted with them. You will
		
00:09:37 --> 00:09:38
			be like them.
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:39
			Surely, our most
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:43
			will gather the hypocrites and disbelievers altogether
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:45
			in Jahannam, in the hellfire.
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:49
			For those who want to separate the messenger
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:50
			of Allah from
		
00:09:51 --> 00:09:52
			Allah
		
00:09:52 --> 00:09:54
			and say that they accept the Quran, but
		
00:09:54 --> 00:09:57
			don't accept aayat in the Quran itself, which
		
00:09:57 --> 00:10:00
			emphasize the importance of following the sunnah
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:02
			and obeying Rasool Allah, he
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:05
			said,
		
00:10:31 --> 00:10:31
			Allah
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:37
			and his messengers
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:39
			and wish to make a distinction
		
00:10:40 --> 00:10:41
			between Allah
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:45
			and his messengers saying, we believe in some
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:46
			and we disbelieve in others
		
00:10:47 --> 00:10:49
			desiring to forge a compromise.
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:52
			They are indeed the true disbelievers,
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:56
			and we have prepared for disbelievers
		
00:10:56 --> 00:10:57
			a humiliating
		
00:10:58 --> 00:10:58
			punishment.
		
00:10:59 --> 00:10:59
			Allah
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:00
			declared,
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:07
			Rasulullah to be the last and final messenger
		
00:11:08 --> 00:11:09
			and the seal of the prophets.
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:12
			For those who love and respect Rasulullah
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:13
			and
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:16
			are keen to obey and follow him, Allah
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:17
			promised
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:18
			great goodness.
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:19
			Allah
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:21
			said
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:30
			which means
		
00:12:31 --> 00:12:33
			they are the ones who follow the Messenger
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:36
			the unlettered Prophet
		
00:12:36 --> 00:12:38
			whose description they find in
		
00:12:38 --> 00:12:40
			the Torah and the Gospel.
		
00:12:41 --> 00:12:44
			He commands them to do and forbids them.
		
00:12:44 --> 00:12:47
			He commands them to do good and forbids
		
00:12:47 --> 00:12:48
			them
		
00:12:49 --> 00:12:50
			from
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:54
			evil, and permits them what is lawful, and
		
00:12:54 --> 00:12:55
			forbids them
		
00:12:56 --> 00:12:57
			what is impure,
		
00:12:58 --> 00:13:00
			and relieves them from their burdens
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:02
			and the shackles that bind them.
		
00:13:03 --> 00:13:06
			Only those who believe in him honor him
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:08
			and support him. Only those who believe in
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:09
			the prophet Muhammad,
		
00:13:09 --> 00:13:12
			and honor him and support him and follow
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:14
			the light sent down to him will be
		
00:13:14 --> 00:13:14
			successful.
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:16
			Say, O Prophet,
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:17
			O humanity,
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:20
			I am Allah's Messenger to you all. To
		
00:13:20 --> 00:13:23
			him alone belongs the kingdom of the heavens
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:25
			and the earth. There is no God worthy
		
00:13:25 --> 00:13:28
			of worship except Him. He gives life and
		
00:13:28 --> 00:13:31
			causes death, so believe in Allah and His
		
00:13:31 --> 00:13:34
			messenger, the unlettered prophet who believes in Allah
		
00:13:34 --> 00:13:35
			and His revelations,
		
00:13:35 --> 00:13:38
			and follow him so that you may be
		
00:13:38 --> 00:13:38
			guided.
		
00:13:40 --> 00:13:41
			My brothers and sisters,
		
00:13:41 --> 00:13:42
			today,
		
00:13:42 --> 00:13:44
			in conclusion, I want to say to you
		
00:13:44 --> 00:13:47
			that today the root of our problems
		
00:13:47 --> 00:13:50
			lies in not following the Quran and Sunnah.
		
00:13:50 --> 00:13:50
			The
		
00:13:51 --> 00:13:54
			Quran orders us to follow the Sunnah because
		
00:13:54 --> 00:13:56
			the Sunnah explains the Quran.
		
00:13:56 --> 00:13:58
			When we don't do this, we lose confidence
		
00:13:58 --> 00:14:01
			in our deen and run around fearfully apologetic
		
00:14:02 --> 00:14:04
			trying to be what we are not. Those
		
00:14:04 --> 00:14:06
			who lose their identity
		
00:14:06 --> 00:14:07
			are left with nothing
		
00:14:08 --> 00:14:10
			because they lost what they had, and what
		
00:14:10 --> 00:14:13
			others have can never be theirs no matter
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:15
			how much they pretend.
		
00:14:15 --> 00:14:17
			To be confident in your own identity
		
00:14:18 --> 00:14:20
			and to meet others in their own identities
		
00:14:21 --> 00:14:23
			respectfully and with understanding
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:26
			is the secret of effective relationships.
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:31
			Allah honored us by connecting our identity to
		
00:14:31 --> 00:14:33
			the blessed and exalted identity of Rasool
		
00:14:34 --> 00:14:35
			Musa. May
		
00:14:36 --> 00:14:38
			Allah help us to understand this and uphold
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:41
			it and be called by it when we
		
00:14:41 --> 00:14:41
			meet him.
