00:00:00--> 00:00:03

When people talk and say negative things about

00:00:03--> 00:00:05

the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, it

00:00:05--> 00:00:08

is because they do not know him.

00:00:08--> 00:00:11

Those who knew him from the very beginning,

00:00:11--> 00:00:14

they accepted his message. Take a look at

00:00:15--> 00:00:17

his closest friend Abu Bakr as Siddiq radiAllahu

00:00:17--> 00:00:18

anhu.

00:00:19--> 00:00:22

When the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him,

00:00:22--> 00:00:23

returned from Mi'raj,

00:00:25--> 00:00:26

the ascension.

00:00:28--> 00:00:30

When the people tried to

00:00:31--> 00:00:34

ask a question, the people of Quraysh were

00:00:34--> 00:00:37

asking a question to his friends and those

00:00:37--> 00:00:39

who were his followers. And they said, would

00:00:39--> 00:00:40

you believe

00:00:40--> 00:00:43

that a man could have made this journey

00:00:43--> 00:00:46

in one night and come back? What was

00:00:46--> 00:00:46

the answer?

00:00:47--> 00:00:50

What was the answer of Abu Bakr? And

00:00:50--> 00:00:51

that's when he became known as

00:00:52--> 00:00:52

a siddiq.

00:00:55--> 00:00:58

Immediately, he said, if he said this, it's

00:00:58--> 00:00:58

the truth.

00:01:00--> 00:01:00

Why?

00:01:01--> 00:01:04

Because this man did not lie to us

00:01:04--> 00:01:07

about matters of this world. Not a penny

00:01:07--> 00:01:09

did he lie in order to achieve.

00:01:10--> 00:01:12

Not a position did he have to lie

00:01:12--> 00:01:15

in order to achieve. He did not deceive

00:01:15--> 00:01:17

us in matters of this worldly life.

00:01:18--> 00:01:20

Why would He deceive us in matters

00:01:21--> 00:01:22

of the hereafter?

00:01:24--> 00:01:26

He wouldn't, so we know Him.

00:01:27--> 00:01:28

If He said it, it's the truth.

00:01:29--> 00:01:31

And then look at His statements. Subhanallah, what

00:01:31--> 00:01:32

did He say?

00:01:33--> 00:01:35

He asked us to be kind to one

00:01:35--> 00:01:35

another.

00:01:36--> 00:01:37

Laialhamillahu

00:01:38--> 00:01:38

malaiyalhaminaz

00:01:40--> 00:01:42

A statement of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be

00:01:42--> 00:01:42

upon him.

00:01:44--> 00:01:47

Allah Almighty will not have mercy upon the

00:01:47--> 00:01:49

one who does not have mercy on the

00:01:49--> 00:01:51

rest of the people.

00:01:51--> 00:01:53

Khayru Nasi and Fa'u hul Nasi.

00:01:54--> 00:01:56

Here are the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad,

00:01:56--> 00:01:57

peace be upon him.

00:01:58--> 00:01:59

If you know him, you will love him.

00:01:59--> 00:02:02

What did he say? The best of the

00:02:02--> 00:02:03

people are the ones

00:02:04--> 00:02:07

who have benefited the rest of the people

00:02:07--> 00:02:08

the most.

00:02:08--> 00:02:09

Subhanallah.

00:02:13--> 00:02:14

Who can say these words?

00:02:15--> 00:02:18

Would a man who is planning to harm

00:02:18--> 00:02:19

you ever

00:02:19--> 00:02:22

instruct all his followers

00:02:22--> 00:02:24

to be the best to others?

00:02:25--> 00:02:28

When the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him,

00:02:28--> 00:02:32

spoke about those who work for others and

00:02:32--> 00:02:34

those who work for you and I,

00:02:35--> 00:02:37

he says, they are your brothers

00:02:37--> 00:02:38

and sisters.

00:02:39--> 00:02:42

Do not burden them with that which will

00:02:42--> 00:02:44

be difficult for them to fulfill.

00:02:44--> 00:02:46

And if you are to give them a

00:02:46--> 00:02:48

task that is difficult,

00:02:48--> 00:02:52

you help them fulfill the task as well.

00:02:53--> 00:02:54

Look at the teachings.

00:02:56--> 00:02:57

When He says,

00:03:01--> 00:03:03

He says, Myself and the one who takes

00:03:03--> 00:03:04

care of an orphan

00:03:05--> 00:03:07

shall be like these 2 fingers in paradise.

00:03:07--> 00:03:09

And he has put the fingers together.

00:03:11--> 00:03:12

Why would he say that?

00:03:12--> 00:03:14

He was a great man.

00:03:14--> 00:03:18

He taught only goodness. He brought only mercy

00:03:18--> 00:03:21

from the Almighty, and He taught it to

00:03:21--> 00:03:21

us.

00:03:22--> 00:03:24

And this is why the Almighty says

00:03:27--> 00:03:30

that He has sent the Prophet Muhammad, peace

00:03:30--> 00:03:33

be upon him, as a source of mercy.

00:03:33--> 00:03:34

Not just for humankind

00:03:35--> 00:03:36

but for entire creation,

00:03:37--> 00:03:38

for everyone and everything.

00:03:40--> 00:03:42

Allah Almighty says,

00:03:53--> 00:03:55

We have not sent you except as a

00:03:55--> 00:03:57

source of mercy

00:03:57--> 00:03:58

for Al alameen.

00:03:59--> 00:04:00

Al alameen

00:04:00--> 00:04:01

includes

00:04:01--> 00:04:02

absolutely

00:04:02--> 00:04:03

everything.

00:04:03--> 00:04:04

Not just humankind,

00:04:05--> 00:04:06

but the animals,

00:04:07--> 00:04:08

the birds,

00:04:08--> 00:04:09

the environment,

00:04:09--> 00:04:12

the species. Today we talk about preserving

00:04:12--> 00:04:13

the ecosystem,

00:04:14--> 00:04:15

the oceans, the water.

00:04:16--> 00:04:18

We talk about global warming. We talk about

00:04:18--> 00:04:19

everything else.

00:04:20--> 00:04:22

All this is included in the teachings of

00:04:22--> 00:04:25

the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, when

00:04:25--> 00:04:26

he speaks about preservation.

00:04:27--> 00:04:29

When he speaks about consideration,

00:04:30--> 00:04:33

he speaks about how you should manage yourself

00:04:34--> 00:04:36

even when you are on a stream of

00:04:36--> 00:04:38

water. What you should do and shouldn't do.

00:04:39--> 00:04:39

Contaminating

00:04:40--> 00:04:42

the water and how bad that is.

00:04:43--> 00:04:47

Providing clean water for people, giving life in

00:04:47--> 00:04:49

the sense that you have reached out to

00:04:49--> 00:04:50

those who are struggling.

00:04:52--> 00:04:53

will reach out to you in your struggles.

00:04:52--> 00:04:53

will reach out to you in your struggles.
