As we remember the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and his extraordinary life today I wanted to talk about the greatness of the messenger of allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.

You see,

we

find it very impressive when an individual excels in a particular field or area.

No matter what that is.

And usually,

people are able to excel in one or two areas. As a matter of fact, if we find someone who can excel in more than one area, we find that person to be extraordinary.

The greatest and this the greatest and that right? The greatest of all time, right the goats.

But no one has excelled in every aspect of his life, and was an exemplar in every aspect of his life was the greatest in every aspect of his life. Like Muhammad, the son of Abdullah Salah to live

and if I was to sit here to share with you evidence,

then we will need a lifetime.

Not a long football, really a lifetime just to be able to go over the greatness of the province Allah Allahu Allah USA. Today I just wanted to remind us, as the followers of this Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, of what it is that made the prophets I send them the greatest

and everything.

How did he he was the greatest of all Prophets.

He was the greatest of all husbands. He was the greatest of all fathers. He was the greatest of all teachers.

He was the greatest of all community members.

He was the greatest in every area of his life. Salallahu Alaihe Salam, but what is it? How did the Prophet SAW said let me who may accomplish this?

And if there's one thing that we can really say, it is the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam, it is what the scholars

call in the Arabic language there is a word there's a beautiful word that you cannot find any equivalents to it.

And it is renewable Hema

ruled him that the him out of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam

his objective

In life, his aspiration

his passion sallallahu alayhi wa sallam

was connected to the greatest.

The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.

His concern in life was not to fulfill and secure the fulfillment of basic human needs

to eat and drink and have shelter and all, this was not his concerns on the love I listen. That's not what the President was attached to.

He reached a point where he became independent, emotionally, Sal, Allahu alayhi wa sallam, and became detached from these things. That doesn't mean that the Prophet didn't appreciate them. But the prophesy sell them his heart was not attached to this world, and to world the gains and to the fulfilment of basic human needs.

Now, there are many people for that they will do amazing things.

There are people who will, who will do extraordinary things,

to eat, and to drink, and to have a comfortable life in this dunya

but the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam that wasn't his him map.

That was not his concern. That was not his focus. His focus rather was attached to something bigger, something higher, is the loftiest and the greatest of all.

You see, when Allah azza wa jal, he said Who am I to lean on Insta? Ilaria baboon, clarifying the purpose for which he created us? And then Allah azza wa jal follows that by saying, man, what do you do mean who marries well Maori? Do I have a moon?

Allah azza wa jal says, I have not created gins and human beings except to worship me.

That's their primary purpose.

That's that's the objective of the creation.

Not What do you mean Humoresque? I do not seek from them provision. Well, not what do you do on your honeymoon and they don't need to feed.

It doesn't say

in Allah Who was 18 It is Allah azza wa jal, who provides

And to Allah belongs the ultimate power and the strength of subhanho wa taala.

When Allah azza wa jal told this prophet that this is the purpose with which I created human beings, if I was going to focus on that, and then on top of that, the province I said then was commissioned by Allah azza wa jal

and was given the responsibility of the greatest of all missions, and tasks, that is to save humanity

and to bring humanity back to Allah subhanaw taala to invite humanity back to Allah azza wa jal, that became the focus of the prophesy salad from the day he turned 40. And Allah Subhana Allah to Allah revealed to him that he if crop is to be Rebecca, the holla the prophesy said it was focused in life changed.

And even even before that, his focus was to worship Allah subhanaw taala to please Allah.

And then it was taken to the next level. So that became the concern of the focus of the Prophet sallallaahu. Selim, anything else didn't matter.

Anything else didn't matter. That doesn't mean that the promises haven't didn't have needs. That doesn't mean that the promises and didn't have warrants. That doesn't mean that the promises and didn't have preferences. That doesn't mean that the president didn't enjoy certain things. As a matter of fact, that promise I did not shy away from speaking about things that he loved, or he enjoyed in this life. He didn't. And he said, By the way, he'll be Valium, and dunya from salah, there are three things that were in dear to me from this dunya of yours.

Three things

and then two of them had to do with dunya and the third one wasn't even like related to dunya it was related to his greatest passion, Salah ha.

That was the secret of the prophets of Allah Islam greatness

so that people wouldn't be sat right perfu and the Prophet said I'm loved his wives

from Khadija all the way to me more than to the very last one.

He loved them with with with

with passion, the prophets Allah was very sincere in his love. So Allah they said, but he said however, my greatest passion of all while God let aura to it for Salah the delight of my eye. The greatest experience that I have in this dunya is in Salah.

Nothing is greater than Salah, the joy. Um, we're talking about worldly like we're talking about a joy that is felt in this life. Something that you really enjoyed doing

and

That is because Allah is connected to Allah subhanho wa taala.

You see his companions are inspired by that by him so Allah Allah one thing that shocked me one time, I was reading in the Sierra of one of the companions of the Prophet Selim, who died at a very young age. He died young, probably Allah Allah. So he teared up before his death, he knew he was dying.

So they said to him, are you scared of death? Or he said no, but I just remembered that after this day,

I won't be able to pray

and I won't be able to fast and I really enjoyed praying at night and I really enjoyed fasting long days

to clear what it is that God has

I'm not gonna be able to pray anymore. They enjoyed Salah it wasn't a burden. They were many of us struggle in Salah is a burden not on a solid

shape appeal

on our to do list that we just want to check off is a burden. No for them it wasn't.

Why because they're Hema they're, they're concerned their passion, their hearts were attached to something much bigger and greater. When the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was offered the treasures of this planet, the process of them declined.

Now had he had them he would have spared them. He sebelah but the process has been declined. Why?

Because he felt it will distract him.

Rasool Allah, can you imagine? He said, It will, by the very virtue that you have to work. Because wealth is something that is an Amana, you have to care for it, you have to make sure that you manage it. Well, the process having said that, I don't have time for that. It will get in the way of many things. So whenever something comes out, we'll give it away. But to own or possess the treasures of this. He he declined sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he didn't want that. It's gonna get in the way.

One time he prayed with a Sahaba. And then he rushed after the Salah. And that wasn't his habits from Allah, they sent him his habit was to sit into the cup. But this this day, the prophets would have got up. And he rushed, went into his house and then he came, he came back eventually.

And that's a have a thought that there was an emergency they sent the messenger. They were concerned, he said, I just remembered

some pieces of gold

and silver, some some that I didn't have enough time to spend.

And It distracted me in Salah.

So I wanted to get rid of it. So I went and I gave it away, distributed

Salalah ism, am I saying that we should be like Malan, we're not gonna be able to, that's not.

But when someone's passion is attached or something like that. Nothing has stopped them. They're unstoppable. The province has said that his mission was to reach every single human being in his lifetime, to save them and to deliver data to them. And then after that, His concern was that we are that his companions and those who will come after them, including us, we will deliver that message to every single human being on the face of this planet.

His Hammer was to save as many people as possible

to teach people about Allah subhanho wa taala. And that is why he said even if you have one, if God delivered on my behalf, believe me wherever I

go,

let that be your aspiration. Let that be your concern. Let that be your mission in life.

For Allah revealed to him, woman asked me men, Allah Wa, Salam Wakata in the name of a Muslim, who is better in a speech than one who calls to Allah calls people to Allah and does righteous deeds. They don't just go people, they actually they themselves practice what they preach and they what they spread, and what they teach. They, they practice that Well, I mean, I saw they had Wakanda in the Nieminen Muslimeen and says that, um, of the Muslims, and invites people to Islam. This was his mission Salalah Ha, they said, this was his focus in life. And that is why it was an extraordinary accomplishment. What the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam by the Grace of Allah single handedly

was able to accomplish within two decades is unparalleled. It has never been done before, and it was never done again.

That's where the greatness comes with, with the limited resources of the prophesy seven. That's why even great authors and historians they made they realize that they made a note of it, they said no one

outperforms Muhammad Sallallahu

malodorous, there is no one that was able to accomplish what he accomplished. What he did in the Arabian Peninsula. What he produced Salallahu Alaihe Salam in two decades,

was extraordinary. It was unlike anything no other. By the way, no prophet before him was able to accomplish that. No one after him, no leader, no system, no regime was able to accomplish anything like what the Prophet SAW Selim did. And he did it with very primitive limited resources, but he did it by the power of this book. And by the power of his example, some Allah Allah He was the example that overwhelmed the companions of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, they said, the prophets I send them even in the heat of the battle, right? When things got really hard on them, they used to hide you know, they used to jump behind the prophets, Allah Mollison could not let Turkey be

Rasulillah either hammy allottees

they're human beings.

There is a limit, there is a threshold to what they can do. And with that doesn't mean they all did that. There are some who basically put themselves in front of the process, knowing that they will be killed in front of him. And they will say nobody doing well. So what did he do on a Saturday?

They gladly gave up their lives.

Some may Allah Subhana Allah be pleased with them. But there were times where when things really got too much for them, they couldn't handle they had they found themselves hiding behind the process. Someone like that, you know, because nothing has stopped him. He was unstoppable.

In the Battle of her name, he fought, he fought an entire army

right by himself with to one of his cousins and his cousin's son by his side until the Sahaba came to around the province and about 100 of them, surrounded himself a lot.

He said he never ran away Salah and he was

like his heart was attached to Allah subhanaw taala never feared anyone other than Allah azza wa jal. And then on top of that, the Prime Minister was a hard working person. Salallahu Alaihe Salam was always busy. He was busy at home, he was busy outside the house, he was busy inside the house, even when he went home. The pastor said them do not just sit and chill

and expect it to be served Salah Allah so this is the Prophet sallallahu lism

canacona Female auditor and he kept himself busy doing something useful Sallalahu videos and he took care of his own affair. So Allah Azza so he was he wasn't a burden on anyone. So Allah Allah you listen.

And then when it was nighttime, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would stand up and pray so much so that I show and she saw what the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam

was doing. She one day she asked him, she said Rasul Allah, your

legs started to swell.

Right? From standing long hours.

She said, Lima Thorson, ohada Rasul Allah,

why are you doing this messenger of Allah? What are the VA for Allah will come as a cadet I mean, then become, when ALLAH has forgiven your sins, you're, you're done. You made it. Allah has forgiven all of your sins.

He said to her a fella Hakuna absentia Cora I shouldn't then I be a grateful servant of Allah.

I'm not doing it because I want something other than just expressing my gratitude to my lord to Allah subhanaw taala and it's something that I'm passionate about something that I enjoy doing.

My dear brothers and sisters. I'll conclude by saying this.

Earlier this week, the OMA has lost one of its most amazing and extraordinary scholars

and worshipers.

He was the

head of the soul effect department solid filter, by the way is one of the most sophisticated fields in the entire Islamic studies.

This man was a great scholar heavyweight scholar and also

and he was also

one of the top authorities in the Shafi school effect.

autocannon la Hill want to have Phil, Phil Fisher very famous. Rahim Allah Wa Rahmatullah wa Asya.

was top of his top of his class, bachelor's, master's, PhD.

May Allah Subhana Allah be pleased with him.

He had gout

gout

And in spite of that, may Allah Subhana Allah have mercy on him. Chico Salma, Abdul Rahim, Rahim Allah

was known for his a bad.

So much so that some scholars used to call him

animal a bad.

Why have you

got any animal out, but the L is a man in his story, what people say about him what people were able to observe was just extraordinary.

It's like some of the stories that you read about eternal joy was his writings.

So, and he has been doing this for more than 50 years. So it's not like a seasonal thing, Ramadan, or one year or two years, he has been doing this for a long time. So someone asked me this question. When I mentioned that Subhanallah in 2007. I remember having this conversation with Imam Suhaib Webb, who was at the time studying in an ESA. He said I want to match it to the masjid of Shavasana. Just to because he had a reputation that his Salah was very long. Now just to give you an idea, Yanni, it was very,

it was very normal for him that Maghrib will be like 45 minutes, one hour. Right? Someone might say is that this one that we're not talking about that we're talking about? That's his salah, and the salah of the people around him, they enjoyed it, and that was there him?

So it's just what I have told me I want for answer, because I know also it wasn't gonna be that long.

He went for us, and he said it was 45 minutes. And then he had a conversation with a chef, you know, is this really the you know, that's not the point. The point is that she enjoyed it. That's he didn't do it. It wasn't. And to me, it was like, how, how could someone stand in Salah for an hour or two or three? pray all night long.

Right? We someone asked me this question. And then SubhanAllah. I just remembered and I mentioned this to some of you the other day. If you remember two weeks ago,

the media was talking about how people stood in line for eight hours, 10 hours, 12 hours. People were talking about David Beckham.

David Beckham. Some of you might know him. Some of you might be. It stood for 12 hours in line moving two or three inches every few seconds.

What was the end goal? Why did he do that for 12 hours without drinking without eating without bathroom breaks? Why did he do that? So that he would get few moments few seconds in front of the casket of a woman that used to be the queen of England at some point.

pay his respects and walk away.

How did he do it?

For 12 hours? How do people stand for hours overnight sometimes for multiple days and camp in front of a store so that they can be the first people who would have that new iPhone or that new Playstation or a new pair of whatever Jordans or hat one time I saw a group of people to standing in long line before either the store open I asked them what is it? They said oh, there's a new hat coming down. There is only 50 of this of this hat.

Hima

where is your passion? So when someone's passion is attached, when someone is inspired by Mohamed Salah listen by the example of Muhammad and their heart is attached, you know to Allah. And their goal is and for those who Allah of course they're going to enjoy what they're doing. It's not going to be a hard thing for them. It's worth it. It's worth it. May Allah subhanaw taala make you and I have those who listen and follow the best of where they listen to afford to have the code set for Allah they were looking for sulfuryl you have no one to afford or Rahim.

Al hamdu lillah wa salatu salam ala Safa but

just remember the Pamela that Lavinia was rude said one time so late to my interview sallallahu alayhi wa salam ala let him fall on pm said one day I decided to join the prophesies of the Prophet is praying by himself in the masjid, I decided to join him.

And he asked for it.

So he said, the alpha and elke ham. The province had them read in that first rocker, he read Surah Al Baqarah.

Certainly SAP

so where's the LMR

right and then in the second so he said it was so long. Allah Hector Hammam to be embraced to, he said, at some point I really can

SideRed doing something really evil or bad. So the students whom he was talking to, they said, de la Maham MTV. What was what did you think of what were you considering? He said an edgy Lisa adda. He said I was almost about to sit and break off. But

right. So Allah Allah is perhaps Abdullah was the Allah Allah at that point wasn't there? He was young.

He wasn't there. So passion does amazing things. So we really have to re examine our passion. What is it that I'm passionate about? So you one time my brother

who himself was a refugee from Syria,

made a pledge.

And I misheard, or he misheard the pledge.

So I said to him, when he came, he said, I'm taking care of this amount. So I said, Okay, he said, I'm taking care of the remainder.

So I said, Okay, which means such and such. He's like, Oh, but I thought it was, it was half of this amount. I said, well, well, that's fine. Whatever you intended. He said, No, no, if you heard it this way. That's what Allah intended for me. So it was double the amount that he was about to get coming give me.

Then

he comes that same night, he calls me, he's like, where are you? Because I want to, I want to hand it to you.

So I said, Well, I'm at a fundraiser, all the way, about an hour, an hour and a half away from where he was.

So he's like, Okay, I'm on my way. I said, no, wait, I'll meet you halfway. I'll come and pick it up. He said, No.

This is an hour and a half away from where he made the pledge. He said, No, I won't come. He drives, gets stuck in traffic, makes it he comes with a fundraiser. He hands me the envelope, and then he's about to walk. I said, come at least eat dinner with us. He said, That's not what I'm here for. I just wanted to fulfill my pledge Salam aleikum. So I said, Why, why did you do this? He said, one of my shields taught me the following. These are the few.

He said if you know the destination, then whatever you go through to reach that destination would be worth it.

My intention is the destination so it was worth it so that while they come in he left.

May Allah azza wa jal help you and I

fulfill our pledges.

express our gratitude to him.

And show our real passion for this religion unconditionally, not based on what I like and who I like, but unconditionally for his sake. Subhanallah without
