I'm a Muslim. It's an honor to worship
Allah alone. Because that's the primary teaching of
my faith. To worship my maker alone. It's
an honor to be following Muhammad sallallahu alaihi
wasallam. You and I know people call him
names.
They call him names from the beginning.
As soon he came up to say, I'm
the prophet of Allah to warn you about
a day that is going to come when
you have to answer for your deeds. What
happened? They said, you're a liar.
You know the famous statement of Abu Lahab
and what he said and verses that were
revealed. The whole surah revealed.
What was this all about? It was about
how even the relatives of the prophet Muhammad,
peace be upon him,
happened to say things against him the minute
they realized, you know what? This man
has spoken the truth, but by us accepting
what he's saying, we're going to lose a
little bit of the worldly stuff that we
have. Be it wealth or authority, whatever else
it may be. The Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam continued in the mission.
They spoke against him and they spoke about
him, but those who knew him the most
and the closest, closest, they all accepted the
message.
His circle of friends
immediately accepted this message.
Who was the closest to him before Islam?
Was it not Abu Bakr as Siddiq Was
he not the first from among the men
who accepted the message?
Because he knows this is my friend. He's
not a liar.
He's speaking the truth. It's an honor for
you and I to come 1400 years
later and say, I swear by Allah, the
man was truthful.
I bear witness
that you have fulfilled the message, O Muhammad
sallallahu alaihi wasallam.
You have conveyed it. You have struggled in
the cause of Allah. You have been upright
and honest.
Really we ask Allah to reward you on
behalf of all of us as the Ummah.
May Allah Almighty gather us with Nabi Muhammad
salallahu alayhi wa sallam in the hereafter.
It's an honor to follow such a great
man and when people say negatives about him,
I'm a Muslim, so I'm going to stand
up. What am I going to do? I'm
going to think about ways to educate them.
I'm going to think about ways to stop
it. I'm going to think about ways to
come up and teach because at that moment
there are 1,000 if not 1,000,000 who are
watching what the negative
that was said was, and what the positives
that come out
of us are.
And they then fall either on that side
or this side.
