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.
