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

I bear witness that there is none worthy

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

of our worship except Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.

00:00:43 --> 00:00:45

And I bear witness that Muhammad salallahu alayhi

00:00:45 --> 00:00:47

wa sallam peace be upon him is the

00:00:47 --> 00:00:48

Seer of the Prophets

00:00:48 --> 00:00:51

and the Final Messenger to all of humanity.

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

Whoever Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala guides, there is

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

none to misguide, and whoever Allah Subhanahu Wa

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

Ta'ala leads astray, there is none to guide

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

aright.

00:02:22 --> 00:02:24

So in this month of Rabbi Al Awal,

00:02:24 --> 00:02:25

we commemorate

00:02:25 --> 00:02:27

the birth of the Prophet SAW Alaihi Wasallam,

00:02:27 --> 00:02:28

his life,

00:02:28 --> 00:02:29

his achievements,

00:02:30 --> 00:02:33

his character, and what we can learn from

00:02:33 --> 00:02:35

him. Every one of us loves the Prophet

00:02:35 --> 00:02:37

salallahu alaihi wa sallam. Every Muslim in this

00:02:37 --> 00:02:38

world loves

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

Muhammad salallahu alaihi wa sallam.

00:02:41 --> 00:02:42

Why do we love him?

00:02:43 --> 00:02:46

And why he deserves our love? This will

00:02:46 --> 00:02:49

be the topic for Jum'ah today inshallah. We

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

speak about the prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam

00:02:50 --> 00:02:52

all year long, and what we can learn

00:02:52 --> 00:02:55

from him, but this month is also very

00:02:55 --> 00:02:56

special, and we will focus

00:02:57 --> 00:02:58

on the life of the Prophet because

00:02:59 --> 00:03:01

we, as Muslims,

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

we need role models in our lives.

00:03:10 --> 00:03:12

There's no role model in Islam better than

00:03:12 --> 00:03:15

the Prophet SAW. And Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala

00:03:15 --> 00:03:16

says in the Quran,

00:03:21 --> 00:03:24

In the life and example of Muhammad SAWSALLAH,

00:03:24 --> 00:03:27

you have an excellent example, a role model

00:03:27 --> 00:03:29

for all Muslims to follow.

00:03:30 --> 00:03:31

So before we talk about

00:03:32 --> 00:03:34

the love of Muhammad SAWSALLAH,

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

I will give a couple of examples of

00:03:36 --> 00:03:38

how we love him.

00:03:38 --> 00:03:39

We know

00:03:40 --> 00:03:42

that many of us in this community,

00:03:43 --> 00:03:44

and in Canada, and worldwide,

00:03:45 --> 00:03:47

they name their children after Muhammad.

00:03:48 --> 00:03:50

I'm not if if I ask you today,

00:03:50 --> 00:03:52

how many Muhammad's in the room?

00:03:52 --> 00:03:54

Probably half of you will raise their hands.

00:03:55 --> 00:03:58

So we love Muhammad and we name our

00:03:58 --> 00:03:59

children after him.

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

Statistically,

00:04:01 --> 00:04:02

there are more than a 150,000,000

00:04:03 --> 00:04:05

Muhammad's in the world.

00:04:05 --> 00:04:06

Different spellings.

00:04:07 --> 00:04:09

So people spell it with an o, some

00:04:09 --> 00:04:11

people with a u, 1 m, 2 m,

00:04:11 --> 00:04:13

ed, a d at the end. But Muhammad

00:04:13 --> 00:04:16

is the most common name in the world.

00:04:17 --> 00:04:20

Even in the UK, London. So the name

00:04:20 --> 00:04:23

Muhammad comes ahead of John and Matthew and

00:04:23 --> 00:04:26

other names. Because people love Muhammad salallahu alayhi

00:04:26 --> 00:04:28

salallam. Yes. They named their children after different

00:04:28 --> 00:04:29

prophets, Ibrahim,

00:04:30 --> 00:04:30

Musa,

00:04:30 --> 00:04:31

Yusuf,

00:04:31 --> 00:04:35

Mariam alayhi salaam, but Muhammad salaam is number

00:04:35 --> 00:04:35

1.

00:04:39 --> 00:04:41

This is one of the ways Allah subhanahu

00:04:41 --> 00:04:43

wa ta'ala honored Muhammad salaam.

00:04:45 --> 00:04:47

There was an imam in the US, his

00:04:47 --> 00:04:49

name was Muhammad Al Asher.

00:04:49 --> 00:04:51

He was an imam there.

00:04:51 --> 00:04:55

So one time another imam asked him,

00:04:55 --> 00:04:57

what is the meaning of Al Asher? Is

00:04:57 --> 00:04:59

Al Asher your last name?

00:04:59 --> 00:05:02

So he said, no Arashar is my number.

00:05:02 --> 00:05:04

He came from Africa. He said, because every

00:05:04 --> 00:05:07

single man in the family is named Muhammad.

00:05:07 --> 00:05:09

So my father is Muhammad,

00:05:09 --> 00:05:12

my grandfather is Muhammad, my older brother is

00:05:12 --> 00:05:14

Muhammad, my younger brother is Muhammad.

00:05:14 --> 00:05:17

So how do we identify ourselves? By numbers.

00:05:17 --> 00:05:20

Muhammad the first, Muhammad the 7th,

00:05:20 --> 00:05:23

my cousins, my nephew, everyone is called Muhammad

00:05:23 --> 00:05:25

in the family. And I've seen this with

00:05:25 --> 00:05:27

my own eyes. In the village, I've seen

00:05:27 --> 00:05:27

Muhammad,

00:05:28 --> 00:05:29

the son of Muhammad, the son of Muhammad,

00:05:29 --> 00:05:32

the son of Muhammad. People love Muhammad salallahu

00:05:32 --> 00:05:34

alayhi wa sallam. They name their children after

00:05:34 --> 00:05:35

him.

00:05:35 --> 00:05:37

What is unique about this, if you read

00:05:37 --> 00:05:38

in the Quran,

00:05:38 --> 00:05:40

where Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says,

00:06:36 --> 00:06:38

one generation he will be forgotten.

00:06:39 --> 00:06:39

Gone.

00:06:40 --> 00:06:42

14, 15 centuries later,

00:06:43 --> 00:06:44

there are more than a 150,000,000

00:06:45 --> 00:06:48

Muhammad's in the world. Have you ever heard

00:06:48 --> 00:06:50

of someone called Al Asif Nua'il?

00:06:51 --> 00:06:54

Anytime in history. Khalas, after he died, no

00:06:54 --> 00:06:56

one remembers his name. You only see him

00:06:56 --> 00:06:58

in the books of history or the books

00:06:58 --> 00:07:00

of Sila, but no one carries his name.

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

A 150,000,000

00:07:02 --> 00:07:05

Muhammad. So this is the way Allah subhanahu

00:07:05 --> 00:07:06

wa ta'ala honored

00:07:06 --> 00:07:08

the mention of Muhammad salallahu alayhi wa sallam.

00:07:29 --> 00:07:31

So even among those who don't pray,

00:07:32 --> 00:07:33

I'm talking about Muslims,

00:07:33 --> 00:07:35

and they don't follow the sunnah of the

00:07:35 --> 00:07:37

Prophet They don't pray, they don't fast.

00:07:38 --> 00:07:39

If the name of the Prophet

00:07:40 --> 00:07:42

is abused in front of them, they feel

00:07:42 --> 00:07:45

offended, and they try to honor the Prophet

00:07:45 --> 00:07:48

out of love for him, although they don't

00:07:48 --> 00:07:49

follow his example.

00:08:01 --> 00:08:03

So the reason why we love the Prophet

00:08:03 --> 00:08:06

SAW Alaihi Wasallam because we're commanded to.

00:08:06 --> 00:08:07

In the Sunnah of the Prophet SAW Alaihi

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

Wasallam,

00:08:18 --> 00:08:19

So the Prophet says

00:08:19 --> 00:08:22

in this hadith in Bukhari and Muslim, None

00:08:22 --> 00:08:24

of you will truly believe

00:08:24 --> 00:08:26

until you love Me

00:08:27 --> 00:08:28

more than you love your children,

00:08:29 --> 00:08:31

your parents, and all of mankind.

00:08:32 --> 00:08:34

And this is in Bukhari and Muslim. So

00:08:34 --> 00:08:36

we are commanded

00:08:38 --> 00:08:40

we are commanded to love the Prophet

00:08:40 --> 00:08:41

Number 2,

00:08:42 --> 00:08:44

because He deserves our love.

00:08:56 --> 00:08:58

So we love Him because He deserves to

00:08:58 --> 00:08:59

be loved.

00:09:00 --> 00:09:02

Any good thing that you do in this

00:09:02 --> 00:09:03

world, if you give charity,

00:09:04 --> 00:09:06

if you stay away from haram,

00:09:06 --> 00:09:09

if you fast Ramadan, if you pray, if

00:09:09 --> 00:09:12

you honor your parents, if you don't drink,

00:09:12 --> 00:09:13

if you don't date,

00:09:13 --> 00:09:15

if you don't do drugs, if you stay

00:09:15 --> 00:09:17

away from all the haram, and you do

00:09:17 --> 00:09:20

all the good and virtuous things, this is

00:09:20 --> 00:09:22

because of Him. He is the one who

00:09:22 --> 00:09:23

taught us to do this.

00:09:24 --> 00:09:26

And all the Hasanah you are getting day

00:09:26 --> 00:09:27

and night,

00:09:27 --> 00:09:30

by reading Quran, by giving salakah, by making

00:09:30 --> 00:09:33

wudu, by making salah, honoring your parents, being

00:09:33 --> 00:09:35

good to your wife or husband, taking care

00:09:35 --> 00:09:37

of your kids. This is all because of

00:09:37 --> 00:09:39

him. He is the one who taught us

00:09:39 --> 00:09:41

in the Quran and in the sunnah

00:09:44 --> 00:09:45

Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. Number 3.

00:09:50 --> 00:09:52

As Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says in Surah

00:09:52 --> 00:09:53

and Biya, Surah 21,

00:09:54 --> 00:09:56

the prophet salallahu alaihi wa sallam was sent

00:09:56 --> 00:09:58

as a mercy to the whole world.

00:09:59 --> 00:10:00

So the Prophet salallahu alaihi wa sallam came

00:10:00 --> 00:10:02

as a mercy to Muslims.

00:10:03 --> 00:10:05

He came as a mercy to Kavers,

00:10:05 --> 00:10:06

to non Muslims.

00:10:06 --> 00:10:09

He came as a mercy to even animals,

00:10:09 --> 00:10:11

and birds, and everything that exists in this

00:10:11 --> 00:10:14

world, and maybe this will be the topic

00:10:14 --> 00:10:17

in next Jum'ah, inshaAllah. So the Prophet was

00:10:17 --> 00:10:18

sent

00:10:18 --> 00:10:20

as a mercy to this whole world.

00:10:24 --> 00:10:25

We love the Prophet

00:10:26 --> 00:10:27

because of his honesty.

00:10:28 --> 00:10:31

Even before he became a prophet, everyone loved

00:10:31 --> 00:10:32

him because he was honest.

00:10:34 --> 00:10:35

This is what they call him.

00:10:36 --> 00:10:37

You imagine

00:10:38 --> 00:10:39

before Islam,

00:10:40 --> 00:10:41

or after Islam,

00:10:41 --> 00:10:44

when Abu Jahb, and Abu Allahab, and Abu

00:10:44 --> 00:10:44

Sufyan,

00:10:45 --> 00:10:46

before he became Muslim,

00:10:47 --> 00:10:49

if they had something of value, gold or

00:10:49 --> 00:10:51

silver, something of value,

00:10:51 --> 00:10:53

They didn't trust each other

00:10:54 --> 00:10:56

because there's something precious.

00:10:56 --> 00:10:57

Yes, we hang out everyday,

00:10:58 --> 00:11:01

and we are enemies of Muhammad, but when

00:11:01 --> 00:11:02

it is time to trust

00:11:03 --> 00:11:06

their valuables to someone, they chose Muhammad salallahu

00:11:06 --> 00:11:08

alaihi wa sallam although he was their enemy

00:11:08 --> 00:11:09

or they were his enemies.

00:11:10 --> 00:11:12

Because they know that he was reliable and

00:11:12 --> 00:11:15

he was honest salallahu alaihi wa sallam.

00:11:40 --> 00:11:42

So in this authentic hadith and Bukhari a

00:11:42 --> 00:11:42

Muslim,

00:11:43 --> 00:11:45

when the son of the Prophet salawasalam Ibrahim

00:11:45 --> 00:11:47

passed away, he was young.

00:11:48 --> 00:11:50

So it so happened that there was a

00:11:50 --> 00:11:53

solar eclipse, the sun was eclipsed.

00:11:53 --> 00:11:55

So some of the sahaba, they didn't know.

00:11:55 --> 00:11:56

So they said

00:11:57 --> 00:12:00

that the the eclipse happened because the heavens,

00:12:01 --> 00:12:03

the sky is sad because the son of

00:12:03 --> 00:12:05

Muhammad salallahu alaihi wa sallam passed away.

00:12:05 --> 00:12:07

So when the prophet salallahu alaihi wa sallam

00:12:07 --> 00:12:08

heard this rumor,

00:12:08 --> 00:12:10

he went to the mimba and he gave

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

off a bat and he said, the sun

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

and the moon are two signs of Allah.

00:12:15 --> 00:12:18

They don't eclipse for anyone's life or death.

00:12:18 --> 00:12:20

So when you see the eclipse, it makes

00:12:20 --> 00:12:22

a lot. It has nothing to do with

00:12:22 --> 00:12:25

my son. So now you can imagine if

00:12:25 --> 00:12:28

someone like Musa'ilim Al Khaddab or some others

00:12:28 --> 00:12:30

who claim to be prophets, if something like

00:12:30 --> 00:12:32

this happened, they will be desperate to use

00:12:32 --> 00:12:34

it as a proof for their prophethood.

00:12:35 --> 00:12:37

But the prophet salallahu alaihi wa sallam distanced

00:12:37 --> 00:12:40

himself from this because he didn't need another

00:12:40 --> 00:12:42

proof because he had enough proof already for

00:12:42 --> 00:12:43

his prophethood.

00:12:44 --> 00:12:46

So we love him for his honesty.

00:12:49 --> 00:12:50

We love the Prophet

00:12:51 --> 00:12:52

because of his humility.

00:12:53 --> 00:12:54

Yes,

00:12:54 --> 00:12:56

he started from humble beginnings,

00:12:57 --> 00:12:59

he was all by himself, then he started

00:12:59 --> 00:13:00

to gain followers

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

1 by 1.

00:13:02 --> 00:13:05

Eventually he had the largest following in Arabia

00:13:05 --> 00:13:07

by the time of his death, so it

00:13:07 --> 00:13:10

didn't matter before his mission and after his

00:13:10 --> 00:13:11

mission he was humble.

00:13:12 --> 00:13:14

Even when all the doors were opened to

00:13:14 --> 00:13:16

him, and the money started to come to

00:13:16 --> 00:13:17

him,

00:13:17 --> 00:13:19

from right and from left, from zakah, from

00:13:19 --> 00:13:21

this, from that. The Prophet was

00:13:22 --> 00:13:23

telling the same,

00:13:37 --> 00:13:40

So some people when they don't have anything,

00:13:40 --> 00:13:42

Mashallah they're humble,

00:13:43 --> 00:13:45

but as soon as

00:13:45 --> 00:13:47

Allah gives them a position or he gives

00:13:47 --> 00:13:48

them money,

00:13:48 --> 00:13:50

they'll say, oh, who are you? Who are

00:13:50 --> 00:13:52

you talking to? Do you know who I

00:13:52 --> 00:13:54

am? This is how people think. But the

00:13:54 --> 00:13:56

Prophet SAW wasalam was not like this, A

00:13:56 --> 00:13:57

man came to him,

00:14:00 --> 00:14:01

to talk to him about something,

00:14:01 --> 00:14:03

and the man was shivering in front of

00:14:03 --> 00:14:06

the Prophet was so honorable and charismatic,

00:14:06 --> 00:14:08

the man was shaking in front of the

00:14:08 --> 00:14:08

Prophet was so honest and charismatic, the man

00:14:08 --> 00:14:09

was shaking in front of the Prophet and

00:14:09 --> 00:14:10

the Prophet

00:14:10 --> 00:14:11

said to him,

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

why are you doing this? Take it easy,

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

relax.

00:14:15 --> 00:14:16

Don't do this.

00:14:16 --> 00:14:18

I'm the son of a woman from Mecca

00:14:18 --> 00:14:20

who used to eat all bread and all

00:14:20 --> 00:14:24

meat. Like, very humble, very decent, like, so

00:14:24 --> 00:14:27

take it easy, you know. Don't be overwhelmed

00:14:27 --> 00:14:29

with all these emotions and you don't have

00:14:29 --> 00:14:31

to shake. I'm a humble person and he

00:14:31 --> 00:14:33

told the Sahaba when you see me coming

00:14:33 --> 00:14:34

in

00:14:35 --> 00:14:36

don't stand up for me.

00:14:40 --> 00:14:41

He said, When I come, because he used

00:14:41 --> 00:14:43

to come all the time for salaf, for

00:14:43 --> 00:14:45

talk, for Every time they saw him they

00:14:45 --> 00:14:47

wanted to stand up and he said, Woah,

00:14:47 --> 00:14:49

woah, woah, relax. You don't have to stand

00:14:49 --> 00:14:51

up every time you see me.

00:14:52 --> 00:14:54

Some people back home like, If you don't

00:14:54 --> 00:14:54

stand up,

00:14:55 --> 00:14:56

or when you talk to them you don't

00:14:56 --> 00:14:59

say, Alustaa azaduqtur, Abu Professor, Hujatizaman,

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

Nur al Islam.

00:15:02 --> 00:15:03

Oh, you hate me, you don't like me,

00:15:03 --> 00:15:06

you are jealous, you don't like me, come

00:15:06 --> 00:15:09

on. And the Prophet said, I'm Ana Abdullah,

00:15:09 --> 00:15:11

I'm the servant of Allah. This is how

00:15:11 --> 00:15:12

you call me, I'm the servant of Allah.

00:15:13 --> 00:15:14

So we love the Prophet

00:15:15 --> 00:15:16

because of his humility.

00:15:17 --> 00:15:18

When the Prophet

00:15:18 --> 00:15:20

traveled with his Sahaba and it was time

00:15:20 --> 00:15:21

for lunch,

00:15:22 --> 00:15:24

someone would say, Okay, I'm gonna fix the

00:15:24 --> 00:15:24

food,

00:15:25 --> 00:15:27

I'm gonna prepare the goat or the food

00:15:27 --> 00:15:30

for lunch, and someone will say, Well, I'm

00:15:30 --> 00:15:32

gonna cook it, someone will say, I'm gonna

00:15:32 --> 00:15:34

do this, and the Prophet would say, I'm

00:15:34 --> 00:15:36

gonna collect the firewood for you.

00:15:36 --> 00:15:38

You'll collect the firewood for them.

00:15:39 --> 00:15:40

(5:5:5)

00:15:42 --> 00:15:43

You don't have to do it, we can't

00:15:43 --> 00:15:43

do it.

00:15:44 --> 00:15:45

And the Prophet

00:15:45 --> 00:15:47

said, I don't like the man who sits

00:15:47 --> 00:15:50

in the shade, and orders people around like

00:15:50 --> 00:15:52

a king and they work for him like

00:15:52 --> 00:15:54

slaves. You are not my slaves. I'm one

00:15:54 --> 00:15:55

of you.

00:15:55 --> 00:15:57

The Sahaba loved the Prophet salallahu alaihi wa

00:15:57 --> 00:16:00

sallam because he was one of them. They

00:16:00 --> 00:16:02

were willing to sacrifice their life for them

00:16:02 --> 00:16:04

because he was one of them.

00:16:04 --> 00:16:07

He was not their slave master, he was

00:16:07 --> 00:16:09

one of them. He was their brother.

00:16:09 --> 00:16:11

He was the brother of everyone.

00:16:13 --> 00:16:14

We

00:16:14 --> 00:16:14

love

00:16:15 --> 00:16:17

the Prophet salallahu alaihi wa sallam

00:16:17 --> 00:16:18

because

00:16:18 --> 00:16:20

of all the great things that Allah

00:16:21 --> 00:16:22

honored him with.

00:16:23 --> 00:16:24

We love the Prophet

00:16:24 --> 00:16:27

because of his sincerity. We know in the

00:16:27 --> 00:16:27

sunnah

00:16:28 --> 00:16:29

that they used to come to him all

00:16:29 --> 00:16:31

the time and offer him money and offer

00:16:31 --> 00:16:33

him position. We'll make you our king.

00:16:34 --> 00:16:36

We'll marry you the most beautiful woman. We'll

00:16:36 --> 00:16:38

do this to you. And he said, no.

00:16:38 --> 00:16:40

I have to complete my mission. I don't

00:16:40 --> 00:16:42

worry too much about the sun, the moon,

00:16:42 --> 00:16:44

the gold, the silver, and all that stuff.

00:16:45 --> 00:16:47

Sometimes some people have

00:16:50 --> 00:16:51

caffeine.

00:16:54 --> 00:16:55

Ma'am, some people,

00:16:55 --> 00:16:58

they advocate a mission or something,

00:16:58 --> 00:17:00

and as soon as they receive the check-in

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

the mail,

00:17:02 --> 00:17:04

they forget about the cause and they run

00:17:04 --> 00:17:06

away. Khazee. They take the money, alhamdulillah, they

00:17:06 --> 00:17:08

enjoy life, they don't worry too much about

00:17:08 --> 00:17:10

it. And the Prophet

00:17:10 --> 00:17:13

was dedicated to the mission, and he said,

00:17:13 --> 00:17:14

I would sacrifice my life

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

to complete this mission. And the stories are

00:17:17 --> 00:17:20

so many, and the hadith are so many.

00:17:21 --> 00:17:23

Nuhib bin Nabi Yusala wa Salam Laa Wa

00:17:24 --> 00:17:24

Ta'ala yuhib.

00:17:26 --> 00:17:27

Well, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

00:17:28 --> 00:17:29

men

00:17:30 --> 00:17:31

Barahi bihabbatihi,

00:17:32 --> 00:17:33

lill Nabi U SAW ASSAW

00:17:33 --> 00:17:35

and Luafa Adikruf

00:17:36 --> 00:17:36

Wa Ta'ala

00:17:37 --> 00:17:40

So we love the Prophet because Allah Subhanahu

00:17:40 --> 00:17:41

Wa Ta'ala loves him.

00:17:42 --> 00:17:44

And we know from authentic hadith and also

00:17:44 --> 00:17:46

by reading the Quran that Allah

00:17:47 --> 00:17:49

honored him in this life and the next

00:17:49 --> 00:17:50

life. And Allah

00:17:51 --> 00:17:52

elevated his mention.

00:17:55 --> 00:17:55

And Allah

00:17:56 --> 00:17:57

gave him honors

00:17:58 --> 00:17:59

even before he asked.

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

So Allah

00:18:01 --> 00:18:02

We

00:18:04 --> 00:18:05

elevated your mention.

00:18:34 --> 00:18:36

So in this Hadith

00:18:38 --> 00:18:39

in Ibn Jarir and Abu Yala,

00:18:40 --> 00:18:42

Jibreel Alayhi Salaam came to the Prophet

00:18:43 --> 00:18:45

and said, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is asking

00:18:45 --> 00:18:45

you,

00:18:46 --> 00:18:47

do you know how

00:18:48 --> 00:18:50

do you know how we honored you, how

00:18:50 --> 00:18:52

we elevated your mission?

00:18:52 --> 00:18:53

So the Prophet

00:18:53 --> 00:18:55

said, I have no clue.

00:18:55 --> 00:18:56

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

00:18:57 --> 00:18:59

So Jibril alayhi salam said that Allah subhanahu

00:18:59 --> 00:19:01

wa ta'ala says,

00:19:01 --> 00:19:04

whenever I am mentioned, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

00:19:04 --> 00:19:06

is mentioned, you are mentioned with Me.

00:19:07 --> 00:19:08

So in the last couple of months we

00:19:08 --> 00:19:11

have given shahara to 15 people here in

00:19:11 --> 00:19:14

Mississauga and in in downtown Toronto. 15 people.

00:19:15 --> 00:19:18

Lahab. Lahab. And every time someone takes shahara,

00:19:18 --> 00:19:20

what do they say? The key to entering

00:19:20 --> 00:19:23

Islam, La ilaha illallah Muhammadur Rasulullah. So they

00:19:23 --> 00:19:25

say, Allah is my Lord and Muhammad salallahu

00:19:25 --> 00:19:27

alayhi wa sallam is my Prophet. When they

00:19:27 --> 00:19:29

enter Islam, this is the first thing they

00:19:29 --> 00:19:30

say,

00:19:30 --> 00:19:32

when your son or daughter is born, the

00:19:32 --> 00:19:34

first thing they hear,

00:19:40 --> 00:19:41

In the Adhan everyday,

00:19:41 --> 00:19:42

5 times,

00:19:46 --> 00:19:48

There is not a single

00:19:48 --> 00:19:49

minute

00:19:49 --> 00:19:50

or I would say second

00:19:51 --> 00:19:52

that goes by,

00:19:52 --> 00:19:55

except that Azal is made somewhere in this

00:19:55 --> 00:19:57

world. Every second or every minute the Adhan

00:19:57 --> 00:19:59

is made and the name of Muhammad salallahu

00:19:59 --> 00:20:00

alaihi wa sallam is mentioned.

00:20:01 --> 00:20:03

We'll take a small example. If the Adhan

00:20:03 --> 00:20:04

is made

00:20:04 --> 00:20:05

in Buffalo,

00:20:06 --> 00:20:06

New York,

00:20:08 --> 00:20:08

12/25,

00:20:09 --> 00:20:10

Shahuallaha

00:20:10 --> 00:20:11

illa Allah,

00:20:12 --> 00:20:15

Shahuallaha nah Muhammad alwassoon, hulu muhlah in the

00:20:15 --> 00:20:17

Adhan and in the tongue.

00:20:17 --> 00:20:19

By the time they Mu'adim there, you have

00:20:19 --> 00:20:22

the, like, 100 or 1000 of Masjid there

00:20:22 --> 00:20:23

in New York.

00:20:24 --> 00:20:25

100, I should say.

00:20:26 --> 00:20:28

They make Adhan all the time, in the

00:20:28 --> 00:20:30

same minute, or there's 1 or 2 minutes

00:20:30 --> 00:20:32

difference because it's a big state.

00:20:33 --> 00:20:35

By the time they finish, you go to

00:20:35 --> 00:20:37

Niagara Falls, the event is made because of

00:20:37 --> 00:20:40

the time difference, one minute difference. By the

00:20:40 --> 00:20:41

time they finish,

00:20:41 --> 00:20:44

Saint Calvin's is making event. By the time

00:20:44 --> 00:20:47

they finish Stoney Creek. By the time they

00:20:47 --> 00:20:48

finish, Hamilton,

00:20:48 --> 00:20:51

by the time they finish Burlington,

00:20:51 --> 00:20:53

by the time they finish Oakville, by the

00:20:53 --> 00:20:55

time they finish Mississauga,

00:20:56 --> 00:20:57

by the time we finish

00:20:57 --> 00:20:58

Toronto,

00:20:58 --> 00:21:00

by the time they finish

00:21:00 --> 00:21:02

Scarborough, and so on and so forth. There

00:21:02 --> 00:21:04

is not a single minute or second that

00:21:04 --> 00:21:06

goes by except there is a event somewhere

00:21:06 --> 00:21:08

in the world, and the name of Muhammad

00:21:08 --> 00:21:10

salaam is mentioned and elevated.

00:21:14 --> 00:21:14

Waqqara.

00:21:17 --> 00:21:17

Allah

00:21:18 --> 00:21:20

says, If you want to obey Allah, obey

00:21:20 --> 00:21:21

Muhammad

00:21:24 --> 00:21:27

Whoever obeys Muhammad is actually obeying Allah

00:21:29 --> 00:21:29

Allah

00:21:35 --> 00:21:36

Allah elevated him

00:21:36 --> 00:21:39

over all other Prophets. Yes, we respect all

00:21:39 --> 00:21:42

Prophets. Every time the name of a Prophet

00:21:42 --> 00:21:43

is mentioned, we say

00:21:45 --> 00:21:45

But Allah

00:21:46 --> 00:21:47

has the right

00:21:47 --> 00:21:50

to elevate some Prophets over others.

00:21:53 --> 00:21:55

We elevated some Prophets over others, and the

00:21:55 --> 00:21:57

Prophet salaam was elevated

00:21:57 --> 00:22:00

over all other Prophets. And there are so

00:22:00 --> 00:22:02

many authentic Hadith, Fudr, Tu'alal, and Biya.

00:22:03 --> 00:22:06

I was elevated over all other Prophets. Every

00:22:06 --> 00:22:08

Prophet was sent to his own people.

00:22:08 --> 00:22:11

Muhammad SAW Alaihi Wasallam came to all humanity.

00:22:11 --> 00:22:14

So Musa, Isa, Ibrahim,

00:22:14 --> 00:22:16

Nuhr in the Quran would say,

00:22:17 --> 00:22:19

You call me, You call me, my people,

00:22:19 --> 00:22:22

my people. And Muhammad SAW was saying, You

00:22:22 --> 00:22:24

ayu hannas, O Humanity.

00:22:25 --> 00:22:27

Kulya ayu hannasu innirasoolullah

00:22:27 --> 00:22:29

hilaykum jamiyah

00:22:29 --> 00:22:30

Say, O Humanity,

00:22:30 --> 00:22:32

I'm the messenger of Allah to all of

00:22:32 --> 00:22:33

you, everyone.

00:22:34 --> 00:22:36

And this is part of honoring him, Muhammad

00:22:36 --> 00:22:38

Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.

00:22:39 --> 00:22:42

The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam completed his mission

00:22:42 --> 00:22:44

and he was the most successful of all

00:22:44 --> 00:22:45

prophets.

00:22:45 --> 00:22:48

Although he was faced with more challenges than

00:22:48 --> 00:22:49

any other prophet.

00:22:50 --> 00:22:50

Eventually,

00:22:51 --> 00:22:53

Nuh alaihi salam said, You Allah

00:22:54 --> 00:22:55

destroy them.

00:22:56 --> 00:22:58

Salih, You Allah destroy them.

00:22:58 --> 00:23:01

Who would? You Allah destroy them.

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

Sho'aib

00:23:02 --> 00:23:03

destroy them.

00:23:03 --> 00:23:04

Muhammad Sa'asallam,

00:23:04 --> 00:23:05

Umati

00:23:06 --> 00:23:08

You Allah give Hidayah to my people, give

00:23:08 --> 00:23:10

Hidayah to my Ummah. And he said every

00:23:10 --> 00:23:12

Prophet had a Gua

00:23:12 --> 00:23:14

which he used to give it to his

00:23:14 --> 00:23:17

people, and I'm keeping my gua as a

00:23:17 --> 00:23:18

shafa'ah for my ummah on the day of

00:23:18 --> 00:23:20

judgment. Allahu Akbar.

00:23:21 --> 00:23:22

In

00:23:24 --> 00:23:26

the book of Michael Hart, he's an American

00:23:26 --> 00:23:29

author, he's a Christian. He wrote a book,

00:23:29 --> 00:23:31

And in that book,

00:23:31 --> 00:23:34

he made a list of the 100 most

00:23:34 --> 00:23:37

influential people in human history. And then although

00:23:37 --> 00:23:38

he was a Christian,

00:23:38 --> 00:23:40

he put Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam number

00:23:40 --> 00:23:43

1 in the list. Ahead of Isa, ahead

00:23:43 --> 00:23:43

of Musa,

00:23:44 --> 00:23:46

and the other personalities in his book. And

00:23:46 --> 00:23:49

he said, Yeah. Some will question my choice

00:23:49 --> 00:23:51

of Muhammad Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. Although I'm

00:23:51 --> 00:23:53

not a follower of his, but he is

00:23:53 --> 00:23:55

the only human being in history.

00:23:56 --> 00:23:58

From the beginning of time to the end

00:23:58 --> 00:24:00

of time who was successful on both the

00:24:00 --> 00:24:02

religious and the secular levels.

00:24:03 --> 00:24:04

He was successful

00:24:04 --> 00:24:05

on all levels.

00:24:06 --> 00:24:09

So, this is how a non Muslim spoke

00:24:09 --> 00:24:12

about Muhammad salallahu alaihi wa sallam. The last

00:24:12 --> 00:24:13

point for today,

00:24:14 --> 00:24:15

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

00:24:20 --> 00:24:23

Another way that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala honored

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

Muhammad

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

more than any other Prophet,

00:24:26 --> 00:24:28

He offered him, He gave him

00:24:29 --> 00:24:30

even before he asked.

00:24:31 --> 00:24:33

So Musa alaihi wasalam, when he was

00:24:34 --> 00:24:37

commissioned to teach the message, he said, You

00:24:37 --> 00:24:38

Allah

00:24:40 --> 00:24:41

uplift my heart

00:24:42 --> 00:24:43

and make my task easy.

00:24:44 --> 00:24:48

And Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, when Muhammad started

00:24:48 --> 00:24:50

the message, Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala said to

00:24:50 --> 00:24:51

him, Alan Nashlahalaka

00:24:52 --> 00:24:55

Sabra, Have We not uplifted your heart already?

00:24:56 --> 00:24:59

Even before you ask like Musa, we give

00:24:59 --> 00:25:00

it to you even before you ask.

00:25:01 --> 00:25:04

In the story of Ibrahim alaihis salam.

00:25:04 --> 00:25:05

Waja'ali

00:25:05 --> 00:25:08

alis sala alsudkim fil akhlim. You Allah

00:25:08 --> 00:25:10

honor may mention in all

00:25:11 --> 00:25:12

next generations.

00:25:12 --> 00:25:14

And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala said to Muhammad

00:25:14 --> 00:25:16

salaam wa rafa'alaalaka

00:25:16 --> 00:25:19

bikra. We already elevated your mention among all

00:25:19 --> 00:25:21

peoples even before you ask.

00:25:21 --> 00:25:22

In the story

00:25:23 --> 00:25:26

of Ibrahim alaihis salam, he made dua to

00:25:26 --> 00:25:27

Allah and said, You Allah,

00:25:29 --> 00:25:31

You Allah, don't disgrace me.

00:25:32 --> 00:25:34

Don't put me to shame on the Day

00:25:34 --> 00:25:34

of Judgment.

00:25:39 --> 00:25:41

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is telling the Prophet

00:25:41 --> 00:25:43

salallahu alayhi wa sallam, We will never disgrace

00:25:43 --> 00:25:45

you in akhirah. We will honor you. We

00:25:45 --> 00:25:47

will never put you to shame. So the

00:25:47 --> 00:25:48

Prophets are making dua,

00:25:49 --> 00:25:51

and Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is giving the

00:25:51 --> 00:25:52

answer to Muhammad

00:25:52 --> 00:25:55

without him making the dua. He is giving

00:25:55 --> 00:25:55

it to him.

00:26:04 --> 00:26:04

Alhamdulillahirabilahalameen,

00:26:06 --> 00:26:06

washaduallahuwahalameen,

00:26:07 --> 00:26:08

washaduallahuwahalameen,

00:26:09 --> 00:26:10

washaduallahuwahalameen.

00:26:14 --> 00:26:16

We're honored to be the followers of Muhammad

00:26:16 --> 00:26:17

SAW Alameen,

00:26:17 --> 00:26:19

And it is always beautiful to listen to

00:26:19 --> 00:26:21

the life and the seal of Muhammad Sallallahu

00:26:21 --> 00:26:24

Alaihi Wasallam and try to emulate him and

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

copy his example and take him as a

00:26:26 --> 00:26:29

role model. So inshaAllah we'll continue in the

00:26:29 --> 00:26:31

next Khubba bi Allahu Wa Ta'ala. If you

00:26:31 --> 00:26:33

want to prove your love to Muhammad salAllahu

00:26:33 --> 00:26:34

alaihi wa sallam,

00:26:34 --> 00:26:36

copy his example, teach your kids about him,

00:26:36 --> 00:26:39

and try to follow his example. If you

00:26:39 --> 00:26:42

truly love him, follow him. Allah subhanahu wa

00:26:42 --> 00:26:44

ta'ala when he speaks about Muhammad salAllahu alaihi

00:26:44 --> 00:26:45

wa sallam

00:27:03 --> 00:27:05

Those who believe in Muhammad and

00:27:05 --> 00:27:06

they support him,

00:27:07 --> 00:27:09

and they follow his example, they are the

00:27:09 --> 00:27:12

successful ones. So Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says

00:27:12 --> 00:27:13

it in the Quran,

00:27:13 --> 00:27:14

if you love Muhammad

00:27:14 --> 00:27:17

and follow his example. So we ask Allah

00:27:17 --> 00:27:18

Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,

00:27:18 --> 00:27:20

and Yashmaanahu Bin Nabi Yusa'ala.

00:27:37 --> 00:27:39

We ask Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala to honor

00:27:39 --> 00:27:41

us and gather us together with Muhammad SAW

00:27:41 --> 00:27:41

Alaihi wa SAW Alaihi wa SAWHIM We ask

00:27:41 --> 00:27:41

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala to honor us and

00:27:41 --> 00:27:43

gather us together with Muhammad SAWHIM Al Firdaus

00:27:43 --> 00:27:44

Al Ala as we believed in him in

00:27:44 --> 00:27:45

dunya without
