And I be with this Muhammad, salallahu alayhi
wa sallam, peace be upon him, is the
seal of the prophets and the final messenger
to all humanity.
Whomever Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala guides, there is
none to misguide.
So today, inshallah, we'll continue talking about
the mercy and the forgiveness of the prophet
sallallahu alaihi wa sallam to those who attacked
him and abused him at this time. And
this comes in response
to the intimidating movie that came out about
10 days ago, attacking the prophet
and vilifying him.
So we are told in the, Hadith and
Bukhary
that the prophet
never ever retaliated
for himself. When people attacked him, he would
never retaliate
and take revenge. He never did it. Only
when the rights of Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala,
were violated.
That the people of Mecca, the disbelievers at
the time of the prophet, salaam alayhi, salaam,
they used to call the prophet, salaam, which
is the disbiased and the disgraced one. And
the meaning of the prophet, salaam, his name,
Mohammed in Arabic, is the praised one. So
So they were calling you by the opposite
of his name. So the prophet
said, they are cursing the despised one
and on the praised one.
They're calling talking about and
I'm Muhammad. They're talking about someone else. They're
not talking about me.
So attacks on the
prophet came
at the time of the prophet,
mostly from, you know, some of those who
disbelieved in his message, but some
Muslims also
abused the prophet,
but he was also forgiving to all of
them.
In this authentic story in Silat Ibn Shan,
the biography of the prophet,
so he said, when the city of Medina
surrendered to the prophet
after so many years
of persecuting Muslims and killing some of them,
the prophet
took over the city.
And they couldn't possess because he amassed an
army of 10,000 soldiers.
But he took over the city peacefully and
he issued
a universal
amnesty so he didn't punish anyone.
So this man, Fudar Imam, he was a
at the time.
While the prophet was was circling the
so he said, I'm gonna go to him
and stab him to death.
So he hid and dank him in his
clothes, and he was making tawaf around the
Kaaba, and he was thinking how he was
going to attack the prophet,
either to hit him in the chest or
the neck. He was thinking.
All of a sudden he found the prophet
right in front of him. And the prophet
said, oh, hold on. What are you thinking
about right now?
Whatever you're thinking about, you will not be
able to do it. So the man was
stunned.
So the prophet
prayed for him, and he put his hand
on his heart, and he made dua for
him.
So the man said, as soon as the
prophet
removed his hand from my heart, nothing on
earth has become more belonging to me than
him, and he accepted his life.
So in this authentic hadith and Bukhay al
Muslim I'm giving a couple of examples of
how some Muslims also,
Yahya abused, and they were disrespectful
to the prophet
at this time, but he also forgave them.
In this authentic hadith, Anas al N Malik
said, I was walking with the prophet, SAW,
and he was, dressed up in, a very
coarse and rough,
piece of cloth. So this man came to
him and pulled him from his cloth, and
it lift a mark on the prophet's neck.
And the man started yelling at the prophet
and said, give me some of the food
you have,
on my 2 camels. I'm gonna carry them
on my camels because this food is not
yours and it is not your dad's.
It is from Allah.
So the
prophet said, yes. This food and this money
belongs to Allah and I'm his servant, but
we're gonna discipline you for your, transgression, for
what you have done and what you have
said. So the man
said, you can't. You can't discipline me. Guy
is a big shot from a big tribe
or something or he had a clutching coat
somewhere in his garage or something. Why the
prophet can't discipline him? He said, you can't
discipline me
because you are the prophet of Allah. You
don't respond to evil by evil. You respond
to evil by doing good.
So the prophet
smiled, and he loaded his 2 camels with
barley and dates. And this is in Bukhari
and Muslim.
And Muslim.
And this,
piece of gold came from Yemen as a
charity to the prophet, so he gave it
to 4 people who, Yani, accepted Islam recently
to strengthen their faith and their
heart. So
another man who was not given a piece
of Iqbal
came to the prophet, sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
and said, have taqwa of Allah, You Rasulullah.
Fear of love
Allah. Fear Allah. Adam Mitchell. So
the prophet, salam, says, who would have fear
of Allah if I don't have fear of
Allah? I'm the prophet of Allah. So I'm
I'm
mindful of Allah, Subhanahu wa ta'ala, at all
times. So when the man left,
the prophet didn't do it in a day
to him. So when the man left, said,
oh, prophetullah,
let me chop his head off because of
his, you know, impliedness with you. So the
prophet, salaam, says, leave him alone. Maybe he
prays.
So the salah made Shafa'a for them. So
Farid al Nudib then said, oh, Praful Allah,
some people say something and there's something else
in their minds. So So the prophet, salam,
said, I have not been,
commanded to split people's hearts or cut people's
hearts open and look inside their hearts. I
judge people by their appearances and what is
in their hearts is up to Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala. Does Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
And some of the attacks on the prophet,
sallallahu alaihi wa sallam come from,
tiny minority of some non Muslims in the
west.
But this this is not an indication of
the whole situation. There are some Muslims
who have used the memory of the prophet
sallallahu alaihi wa sallam as they don't show
him the proper respect. And it is true
that some non Muslims
also praise the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
and speak highly of him.
So we as Muslims should be fair, and
we should look at the picture as a
whole.
About the prophet. We have Thomas Caroline, and
Malkiel Hart, and Goethe, the German poet. And
you have George Bernard Shaw, the Irish,
writer.
And he is the winner of the, Nobel
Peace Prize back in the 19 twenties.
So Michael Hart, for example, he offered a
book back in the 19 eighties,
and he said in his book, the title
is the 100, a ranking of the most
influential people in history. And he put the
prophet
number 1.
He is the he said he is the
most influential
person in in the history of man. He
said, the reason is he is the only
leader in history who was successful in both
the secular and religious levels. This is what
he said.
You have
also people like Goethe, and you have people
like George Bernard Shaw. He said
that if Mohammed was living among us today,
he can solve
the problems of the whole world while he
is drinking a cup of coffee, and he
will bring about peace and happiness to all
the people of the world. This is what
he said.
You have also Goethe, the famous German German
poet, he says, if Islam means submission
to the will of Allah following the example
of Muhammad, then all of us should be
Muslim, actually. So this is what they said.
So we as Muslims, we need to highlight
the positive acts and the the things that
some non Muslims say about the prophet, sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam, to counter any other
Muhammad. Sometimes,
tell this day, something
Muslims, they abused the prophet Muhammad
more than the non Muslims who attacked the
prophet Muhammad.
The scholars say,
if anyone among us prays or fast in
the month of Ramadan, the prophet will get
a similar reward because he is the very
reason why you pray and fast.
And those who don't give their brothers and
sisters a share of
hers, they do more damage to Islam than
non Muslims who attack the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wa sallam.
So this
guy, a sister came to me. She is
a new Muslim. I read her that she
said that when I first got married to
my Muslim husband, he never gave me a
dolly, a mom, marriage gift. And he's living
with my non Muslim parents, and they are
paying for everything for him. The bills, everything.
And they are even feeding him. And when
I asked,
why didn't you pay me a dawg or
a mammon or anything, and why didn't you
provide for me? Isn't this what Islam teaches?
He said, you are ignorant. You don't know
anything about Islam. What I do is Islam.
He's a liar.
He is not representing Islam with the Quran.
He is actually doing more damage to Islam.
He's giving,
black eye to Islam.
Okay? So these people do more damage. So
what we need to do, not only teach
non Muslims about Islam, we also need to
teach our fellow Muslims about Islam and the
prophet, sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
In conclusion,
we believe here at Tarasih that the best
way to counter the attacks of the prophet
is
to teach people and to give them dua,
to spread awareness of Islam and the noble
message of the prophet
Inshallah, in the coming few days, we have
a major campaign, a project
to send to deliver a brochure from the
prophet
and his teachings, and how he dealt with
non Muslims and animals and everything around him.
And this, for sure, will be delivered to
all the homes in Edmonton. It's a very
huge project. We need your assistance. InshaAllah, next
Jum'ah, we're gonna give you more details on
how you can help.
