00:00:13 --> 00:00:16
			But all of us love the prophet We
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:20
			all love the prophet
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:23
			We love him from the bottom of our
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:25
			hearts. And I'm gonna give you two examples
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:28
			to show how much we love Rasoolullah As
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:28
			Salim.
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:30
			The first
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:31
			one is that
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:35
			many of us love to name our children
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:37
			after the prophet SAW As Salaam. The name
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:38
			Muhammad
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:41
			is the most common name in the world.
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:44
			Or at least 1 15000000 people in this
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:44
			world
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:48
			who have the name Muhammad or they name
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:49
			this name to their children.
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:51
			And this is a sign of love because
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:53
			if you name your child after someone
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:56
			it means you have great love for that
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:56
			person.
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:58
			So if he goes to Egypt, if he
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:00
			goes to Morocco, if he goes to Pakistan,
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:02
			and you stand in the middle of a
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:04
			bus and and say, Yeah, Muhammad. Half of
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:06
			the people will say, Yes. What do you
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:06
			want?
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:08
			And if you go to Bangladesh,
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:09
			100%
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:11
			of the men in the bus will say,
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:13
			yeah, it's gonna be more because
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:16
			the name Mohammed in Bangladesh is a prefix
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:19
			to the name. Like, Mohammed Al Saad, Mohammed
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:22
			Ibrahim, Mohammed Khanal. The name the Muslim male
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:24
			name has always to start with the name
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:25
			Mohammed because people love Rasoolullah
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:39
			at the end of your name? Is this
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:41
			your last name? He said, no. This is
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:44
			my number. My father's name is Muhammad. His
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:47
			father's name is Muhammad. His great great grandfather's
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:49
			name is Muhammad. My cousin's Muhammad. My nephew
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:51
			is Muhammad. Every person in my family is
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:52
			all Muhammad.
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:55
			So to avoid confusion, we go by numbers.
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:58
			So my number is Muhammad the 10th. My
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:01
			cousin is Muhammad the 7th. My father is
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:03
			Muhammad the 5th. So we love the prophet,
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:06
			so we name our children after him.
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:08
			Makes not
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:08
			a
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:37
			perfect iman
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:40
			unless you love me
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:43
			more than you love your children, your parents,
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:45
			and all of humanity. So you have to
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:45
			love Rasulullah
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:48
			So this is number 1. Your command is
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:49
			to love them.
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:17
			So the second reason is because he deserves
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:18
			to be loved.
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:22
			Everything that we do in our life that
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:24
			is good, if you pray, if you give
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:26
			a salatah, if you go for Hajj, if
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:27
			you fasten Ramadan, all these provide
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:31
			and bring you closer to Allah is because
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:33
			of Rasool Asas, and he is the one
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:34
			who showed us the way.
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:38
			And every time Abuikh Haman makes stealing and
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:41
			lying and cheating and riba and ham and
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:44
			kimziy, all these things, it's because of him.
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:46
			He is the only one who told us,
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:48
			don't do it this way. Don't go there.
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:49
			And we follow his example.
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:21
			To all the worlds.
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:24
			Not only the Muslims, but to everything, not
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:25
			everyone.
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:27
			So to Muslims, because he makes your life
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:28
			easy.
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:31
			He tells you to stay away from the
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:33
			evil things, and he's asking you to do
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:37
			honorable and decent things. Salat, respect, kindness,
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:40
			telling the truth. Everything that is good, the
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:43
			prophet is telling you to do. And anything
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:46
			that is bad, that's harmful, destructible,
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:47
			the prophet
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:49
			is telling you to stay away from.
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:37
			And so on and so forth. The examples
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:38
			are so many.
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:41
			Even for the Kufa,
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:42
			the prophet
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:44
			he is Ali. He came to them to
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:46
			show them what is right and what is
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:48
			wrong and sought to them to choose it
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:48
			or not.
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:51
			But he did his best. He to
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:58
			cheat non Muslims or to lie to them
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:01
			because, eventually, you are dealing with Allah subhanahu
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:03
			wa ta'ala. So the wrong says, if you
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:05
			are a non Muslim
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:07
			or to take something from them that is
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:10
			not rightfully yours, it's a sin in Islam.
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:11
			It is not permissible.
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:14
			Even in the battlefield,
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:18
			when you are fighting with someone, the prophet
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:19
			says don't transgress.
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:23
			For example, you're not allowed even in the
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:25
			battlefield you are fighting for your life, the
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:28
			prophet said don't kill a woman,
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:29
			don't kill a child,
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:32
			don't kill an old man, don't cut down
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:33
			trees,
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:50
			With animals, Islamically, you are not allowed to
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:52
			take an animal as a target for Arabs,
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:54
			a light animal. So you can't just take
		
00:07:54 --> 00:07:57
			a chicken and use your bow and arrows
		
00:07:57 --> 00:07:58
			to kill the chicken.
		
00:07:58 --> 00:08:00
			You cannot go even to the woods to
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:02
			kill an animal and throw the throw it
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:02
			away.
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:18
			So this is why it's haram to kill,
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:20
			like, a deer or a goat and throw
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:22
			it in the garbage. It's haram. It's not
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:23
			permissible, Islamic.
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:26
			And the prophet says it's haram
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:30
			to overburden animals and underfeed them.
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:33
			This is a mention in authentic haaleem. Even
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:34
			when you take the animal for you
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:37
			have to treat it nicely.
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:39
			Don't push it and keep it sharp, and
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:42
			you're not giving food. Keep it away from
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:44
			other animals because you hurt them psychologically.
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:45
			They see
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:48
			that you are slaughtering an animal in front
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:50
			of them. Even the the prophet
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:54
			doesn't want you to hurt the feelings of
		
00:08:54 --> 00:08:57
			animals when you slaughter an animal for provider
		
00:08:57 --> 00:08:59
			of faith. This is how much the prophet
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:01
			came as a rabbi for everyone.
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:05
			Sayyid, how do we show our love to
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:06
			Rasoolullah SAW?
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:07
			Because
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:09
			what is the point if you love him
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:10
			so much,
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:11
			you love him to death,
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:14
			and I don't mean it literally, you love
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:16
			him so much, then you don't pray. You
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:18
			love him but you don't fast. You love
		
00:09:18 --> 00:09:19
			him but he cheat.
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:22
			Love itself is not enough.
		
00:09:57 --> 00:09:59
			Those who believe in him,
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:02
			respect him, and support him, and then follow
		
00:10:02 --> 00:10:05
			the light that was revealed to him. They
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:07
			are the true successful ones. They are the
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:09
			successful ones, the true believers. So you have
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:11
			to love him and you have to follow
		
00:10:11 --> 00:10:13
			his example. This is what Allah says in
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:15
			the Quran Surat Al Aqraf, Adam 157.
		
00:10:17 --> 00:10:19
			Loving itself is not enough.
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:21
			As soon that Abu
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:56
			This is one of the things we can
		
00:10:56 --> 00:10:58
			follow from on the Surah Sata.
		
00:10:58 --> 00:11:00
			Loving people, kindness to people,
		
00:11:01 --> 00:11:04
			forgiving people. This is something we miss in
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:04
			our daily
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:07
			lives. Sometimes we talk to a Muslim brother
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:09
			and there's a misunderstanding and he is ready
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:11
			to punch you in the face and give
		
00:11:11 --> 00:11:12
			you the wicked look.
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:15
			We don't lie to each other anymore. This
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:17
			is something that is missing out of our
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:18
			lives.
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:11
			When the prophet got this piece of gold,
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:14
			he divided it among 4 people to bring
		
00:13:14 --> 00:13:17
			him closer to Islam, only 4 people. And
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:19
			there was a man sitting in the crowd.
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:20
			He didn't take anything.
		
00:13:21 --> 00:13:23
			So he was not too happy. He was
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:26
			mad that the prophet didn't give you anything.
		
00:13:26 --> 00:13:27
			So he went to the prophet
		
00:13:28 --> 00:13:28
			and he said,
		
00:13:30 --> 00:13:32
			He started to shout like this.
		
00:13:33 --> 00:13:34
			What is this? You you didn't give me.
		
00:13:34 --> 00:13:35
			What is this?
		
00:13:36 --> 00:13:38
			So the prophet said,
		
00:13:38 --> 00:13:41
			if I don't have of Allah, who does?
		
00:13:42 --> 00:13:44
			That's it. And the prophet didn't do anything.
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:46
			And remember,
		
00:13:46 --> 00:13:49
			the prophet was so honorable, people loved him,
		
00:13:49 --> 00:13:50
			and they respected him.
		
00:14:04 --> 00:14:07
			So the prophet said, leave him alone. Because
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:09
			maybe he prays, he makes salah.
		
00:14:10 --> 00:14:12
			So salah makes shafa'ah for the man.
		
00:14:14 --> 00:14:15
			Some people pray,
		
00:14:16 --> 00:14:17
			but they are hypocrites.
		
00:14:34 --> 00:14:36
			If they are Muslim, we leave them alone.
		
00:14:42 --> 00:14:45
			So the prophet cares for Muslims all the
		
00:14:45 --> 00:14:46
			time.
		
00:14:47 --> 00:14:49
			Those who were living with him and those
		
00:14:49 --> 00:14:50
			who were far away from him. And his
		
00:14:50 --> 00:14:51
			side Muslim,
		
00:14:52 --> 00:14:54
			Rasoolullah said that made du'a for
		
00:14:55 --> 00:14:57
			the Muslims who stayed in Mecca after the
		
00:14:57 --> 00:14:58
			Israel, they couldn't leave.
		
00:14:59 --> 00:15:01
			And the prophet said that made du'a for
		
00:15:01 --> 00:15:02
			them for a month
		
00:15:02 --> 00:15:05
			for a month that Allah subhanahu wa'a will
		
00:15:05 --> 00:15:06
			make it easy for them.
		
00:15:07 --> 00:15:10
			And a delegation from Mullah, aside Mus'ib also,
		
00:15:10 --> 00:15:11
			came to the prophet,
		
00:15:12 --> 00:15:13
			and they were barefooted.
		
00:15:13 --> 00:15:16
			They were hungry. They were scanty dressed. They
		
00:15:16 --> 00:15:18
			didn't have enough clothes to cover their whole
		
00:15:18 --> 00:15:21
			bodies. And the prophet felt sorry for them,
		
00:15:21 --> 00:15:23
			and he asked Bida alayalam to make a
		
00:15:23 --> 00:15:26
			dam. It was not time for salah. People
		
00:15:26 --> 00:15:27
			came rushing to the masjid,
		
00:16:27 --> 00:16:29
			The numbers should be there. And it's so
		
00:16:29 --> 00:16:32
			depressing because it's the same news every day.
		
00:16:32 --> 00:16:35
			The only thing different about the news is
		
00:16:35 --> 00:16:38
			the numbers. Yesterday, a 100. Today, a 150.
		
00:16:38 --> 00:16:39
			Today, a 250.
		
00:16:40 --> 00:16:42
			This is the only difference about
		
00:16:42 --> 00:16:43
			the news.
		
00:16:43 --> 00:16:44
			And while
		
00:16:45 --> 00:16:48
			our brothers and sisters, the innocent children in
		
00:16:48 --> 00:16:51
			Syria, were being bombarded the last day of
		
00:16:51 --> 00:16:52
			this visible year, 2013,
		
00:16:54 --> 00:16:55
			in a nearby country,
		
00:16:56 --> 00:16:59
			they tried to do the the biggest fireworks
		
00:16:59 --> 00:17:01
			in the whole world. They're obsessed with having
		
00:17:01 --> 00:17:04
			the coldest, the biggest, the largest, the fanciest,
		
00:17:04 --> 00:17:05
			whatever.
		
00:17:06 --> 00:17:06
			$400,000,000,
		
00:17:07 --> 00:17:09
			this is what the news says, were spent
		
00:17:09 --> 00:17:11
			on fireworks in 1 city
		
00:17:12 --> 00:17:12
			that night.
		
00:17:14 --> 00:17:14
			And I assume
		
00:17:15 --> 00:17:17
			and this is me. I could be wrong.
		
00:17:17 --> 00:17:19
			That these fireworks
		
00:17:19 --> 00:17:21
			that were thrown in there,
		
00:17:21 --> 00:17:22
			1,000,000 of
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:24
			dollars were more harmful
		
00:17:24 --> 00:17:27
			to the brothers in Syria than the bombs
		
00:17:27 --> 00:17:29
			that fell in them from that regime. Why?
		
00:17:29 --> 00:17:32
			Because this is their enemy. He's killing them.
		
00:17:32 --> 00:17:34
			That is the job. But our brothers and
		
00:17:34 --> 00:17:35
			sisters don't care,
		
00:18:01 --> 00:18:02
			As we said, the most highfalen al Aqdul
		
00:18:02 --> 00:18:02
			As we said, the most highfalen al Aqdul
		
00:18:02 --> 00:18:03
			As we said, the most highfalen al Aqdul
		
00:18:03 --> 00:18:04
			As Salaam cares for Muslims financially,
		
00:18:05 --> 00:18:07
			and even in this gua who made gua
		
00:18:07 --> 00:18:08
			for them.
		
00:18:08 --> 00:18:10
			And this is something you need to do.
		
00:18:10 --> 00:18:12
			Don't waste your effort and your time and
		
00:18:12 --> 00:18:13
			money in nonsense,
		
00:18:14 --> 00:18:15
			fireworks.
		
00:18:16 --> 00:18:19
			You hear about these competitions back home in
		
00:18:19 --> 00:18:22
			in these Muslim countries? The cutest goat.
		
00:18:22 --> 00:18:23
			Competitions
		
00:18:23 --> 00:18:25
			or the cutest goat. Well, I Google it.
		
00:18:26 --> 00:18:28
			100 of 1,000 of dollars are spent on
		
00:18:28 --> 00:18:32
			these competitions. The cutest goat, the cutest gall,
		
00:18:32 --> 00:18:32
			the camel,
		
00:18:33 --> 00:18:35
			Arab Aylul, and all our leesings. And our
		
00:18:35 --> 00:18:37
			brothers and sisters, they are butchered by the
		
00:18:37 --> 00:18:39
			1,000, and nobody cares anymore.
		
00:18:39 --> 00:18:41
			What is this? So we have to care
		
00:18:41 --> 00:18:43
			about Muslims. And this is something we learn
		
00:18:43 --> 00:18:45
			from Rasulullah Aylsalahu alaihi wa sallam.
		
00:18:46 --> 00:18:47
			A practical way
		
00:18:48 --> 00:18:50
			to show your love to the prophet SAWS.
		
00:18:50 --> 00:18:50
			And
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:53
			I'll finish in one minute of the shawl.
		
00:18:53 --> 00:18:54
			This is the easiest way, to see if
		
00:18:54 --> 00:18:56
			you truly love the prophet SAWS
		
00:18:57 --> 00:18:59
			and you follow him the right way.
		
00:19:00 --> 00:19:02
			The one of the practice the prophet did
		
00:19:02 --> 00:19:03
			in this time
		
00:19:04 --> 00:19:06
			was visiting the Sahaba in their homes. They
		
00:19:06 --> 00:19:09
			would invite the prophet to their house to
		
00:19:09 --> 00:19:11
			have a meal with them, and some of
		
00:19:11 --> 00:19:12
			them would ask the prophet
		
00:19:13 --> 00:19:14
			to bring 2 rakah in their house to
		
00:19:14 --> 00:19:15
			put
		
00:20:12 --> 00:20:14
			and go with them to work, go with
		
00:20:14 --> 00:20:16
			them in the bar,
		
00:20:16 --> 00:20:18
			hanging out with their friends, go into the
		
00:20:18 --> 00:20:20
			masjid. So imagine when you do all these
		
00:20:20 --> 00:20:21
			things that the prophet
		
00:20:22 --> 00:20:24
			is your guest, and he stay with you.
		
00:20:24 --> 00:20:27
			You'll feel shy that the prophet is visiting
		
00:20:27 --> 00:20:29
			you, or you'll be be proud of the
		
00:20:29 --> 00:20:32
			visit. So think of it this way, on
		
00:20:32 --> 00:20:34
			the way home, that's Allah subhanahu wa'ala
