When people talk and say negative things about
the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, it
is because they do not know him.
Those who knew him from the very beginning,
they accepted his message. Take a look at
his closest friend Abu Bakr as Siddiq radiAllahu
anhu.
When the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him,
returned from Mi'raj,
the ascension.
When the people tried to
ask a question, the people of Quraysh were
asking a question to his friends and those
who were his followers. And they said, would
you believe
that a man could have made this journey
in one night and come back? What was
the answer?
What was the answer of Abu Bakr? And
that's when he became known as
a siddiq.
Immediately, he said, if he said this, it's
the truth.
Why?
Because this man did not lie to us
about matters of this world. Not a penny
did he lie in order to achieve.
Not a position did he have to lie
in order to achieve. He did not deceive
us in matters of this worldly life.
Why would He deceive us in matters
of the hereafter?
He wouldn't, so we know Him.
If He said it, it's the truth.
And then look at His statements. Subhanallah, what
did He say?
He asked us to be kind to one
another.
Laialhamillahu
malaiyalhaminaz
A statement of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be
upon him.
Allah Almighty will not have mercy upon the
one who does not have mercy on the
rest of the people.
Khayru Nasi and Fa'u hul Nasi.
Here are the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad,
peace be upon him.
If you know him, you will love him.
What did he say? The best of the
people are the ones
who have benefited the rest of the people
the most.
Subhanallah.
Who can say these words?
Would a man who is planning to harm
you ever
instruct all his followers
to be the best to others?
When the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him,
spoke about those who work for others and
those who work for you and I,
he says, they are your brothers
and sisters.
Do not burden them with that which will
be difficult for them to fulfill.
And if you are to give them a
task that is difficult,
you help them fulfill the task as well.
Look at the teachings.
When He says,
He says, Myself and the one who takes
care of an orphan
shall be like these 2 fingers in paradise.
And he has put the fingers together.
Why would he say that?
He was a great man.
He taught only goodness. He brought only mercy
from the Almighty, and He taught it to
us.
And this is why the Almighty says
that He has sent the Prophet Muhammad, peace
be upon him, as a source of mercy.
Not just for humankind
but for entire creation,
for everyone and everything.
Allah Almighty says,
We have not sent you except as a
source of mercy
for Al alameen.
Al alameen
includes
absolutely
everything.
Not just humankind,
but the animals,
the birds,
the environment,
the species. Today we talk about preserving
the ecosystem,
the oceans, the water.
We talk about global warming. We talk about
everything else.
All this is included in the teachings of
the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, when
he speaks about preservation.
When he speaks about consideration,
he speaks about how you should manage yourself
even when you are on a stream of
water. What you should do and shouldn't do.
Contaminating
the water and how bad that is.
Providing clean water for people, giving life in
the sense that you have reached out to
those who are struggling.
He says the almighty
will reach out to you in your struggles.
