Mufti Menk – The Last Messenger – Everything Is Recorded

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

I say every time I hear the name

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

Muhammad

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

and

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

so should you. And don't be ashamed. The

00:00:07 --> 00:00:10

prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, says to

00:00:10 --> 00:00:10

us,

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

whoever

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

sends blessings and salutations upon me once,

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

Allah blesses them 10 times

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

as a result.

00:00:19 --> 00:00:20

I want blessings.

00:00:23 --> 00:00:24

May Allah bless this man. Allah has blessed

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

him. May Allah bless him more and more

00:00:26 --> 00:00:27

and more.

00:00:28 --> 00:00:31

I'm not jealous. Number 1. Number 2 is

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

I'm a follower. I will follow.

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

To me, the prophet Muhammad, peace be upon

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

him, is a messenger. The greatest,

00:00:37 --> 00:00:40

the highest, a prophet of Allah. To me,

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

he is the final of all the messengers

00:00:42 --> 00:00:45

of Allah, Subhanahu wa ta'ala. I believe in

00:00:46 --> 00:00:47

the fact

00:00:48 --> 00:00:48

that

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

He

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

is

00:00:52 --> 00:00:54

His statement, I am the last of the

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

messengers. There is no messenger to come after

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

me.

00:00:57 --> 00:00:59

Those were his statements. He said that in

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

a correct narration.

00:01:02 --> 00:01:03

Sallallahu alaihi wasallam.

00:01:05 --> 00:01:06

So

00:01:07 --> 00:01:08

if I believe

00:01:08 --> 00:01:10

he's a messenger it means he came with

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

a message. What's the meaning of Rasul?

00:01:13 --> 00:01:15

Rasul is someone who comes with risala.

00:01:16 --> 00:01:17

Messenger who came with a message.

00:01:18 --> 00:01:21

Do I consider the message, the Quran that

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

he brought as the message

00:01:23 --> 00:01:24

of Allah?

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

If the answer is yes, good news.

00:01:29 --> 00:01:32

If he is the messenger, it means he

00:01:32 --> 00:01:34

has given a message from someone else.

00:01:35 --> 00:01:36

From whom? From Allah.

00:01:38 --> 00:01:40

Evidence of it is in the entire Quran.

00:01:40 --> 00:01:43

Not once does he say I am your

00:01:43 --> 00:01:43

Lord.

00:01:44 --> 00:01:46

Muhammad, peace be upon him, does not say

00:01:46 --> 00:01:49

that. He says Allah says He is your

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

Lord. Or Allah talking to us saying I

00:01:51 --> 00:01:54

am your Lord. Clearly referring to Allah and

00:01:54 --> 00:01:55

Allah alone.

00:01:56 --> 00:01:59

But the Messenger didn't say that. Not once

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

did the Messenger say, Worship me. No chance.

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

He didn't say that.

00:02:03 --> 00:02:05

But he did say, Follow me.

00:02:20 --> 00:02:23

Say, if you really love Allah then follow

00:02:23 --> 00:02:25

me. He didn't say then worship me.

00:02:26 --> 00:02:27

Follow me.

00:02:28 --> 00:02:30

And as a result Allah will love you

00:02:30 --> 00:02:31

and He will forgive your sins.

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

So follow to the best of your ability.

00:02:35 --> 00:02:36

Everything of his is recorded.

00:02:38 --> 00:02:40

The actions of his,

00:02:41 --> 00:02:44

The expressions of His. Everything

00:02:45 --> 00:02:46

recorded.

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

If he frowned, the frowning is recorded.

00:02:49 --> 00:02:50

When he walked the way he walked is

00:02:50 --> 00:02:51

recorded.

00:02:52 --> 00:02:54

How his hair was. How his face was.

00:02:54 --> 00:02:56

How his body, the shape was. How his

00:02:56 --> 00:03:00

size was. Everything. Everything recorded. How he sat.

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

How he drank. How he ate. How he

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

wore his clothes. How he addressed his wives.

00:03:04 --> 00:03:06

What happened. Everything is recorded.

00:03:06 --> 00:03:07

SubhanAllah.

00:03:08 --> 00:03:11

The only person in existence

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

whose entire

00:03:13 --> 00:03:14

existence on earth

00:03:15 --> 00:03:18

was recorded from a to zed. From the

00:03:18 --> 00:03:19

beginning to the end.

00:03:19 --> 00:03:20

Everything recorded.

00:03:21 --> 00:03:23

You want to know about him. There is

00:03:23 --> 00:03:25

no other human whom you can ever know

00:03:25 --> 00:03:28

in more greater detail than that of Nabi

00:03:28 --> 00:03:30

Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.

00:03:32 --> 00:03:33

Isn't it an honor?

00:03:34 --> 00:03:36

It's an honor. Wallahi, it's an honor.
