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
