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