Sleeman kathira.
		
00:00:29 --> 00:01:14
			one of the toughest jobs in show business, in particular. And even more specific than that, as a
comedian is that being a comedian, you often come up after other comedians. And at times, you'll be
placed in front of comedians who are better than you and funnier than you. And they're just much
more entertaining. And such as the art of speaking. And in our times, a lot of it is just about the
entertainment sector. And relating this to what's our situation and event today. You know, we just
heard a marvelous talk, a beautiful reminder by our beloved chef from some of the cities, houses in
the LA area. And I was thinking to myself, you know, I don't know how much more I could say to keep
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:36
			the crowd entertained, they've already had 40 minutes, they haven't moved. They're getting restless,
they're getting tired. And I recorded another situation, that as I was growing up, I was really into
basketball, basketball was one of my favorite sports. And even up until this day, I try to follow it
whenever I can, more specifically during the finals. And you remember in the year 2000, before I
went to Medina,
		
00:01:37 --> 00:02:17
			this quarter was the up and coming superstar of that era, you know, his ability to dunk and get high
up in the air was his big talents. And if you go back to his most famous dunks, they all come from
that slam dunk competition in the year 2000. When he did that 360 dunk, he started off behind the
backboard and came out in front. Now, everyone remembers Vince Carter. But does anyone remember who
came after Vince Carter. Now, the person who came after Vince Carter could have done just as good of
a job. And he could have done done switcher even better, but the height was surrounding this
quarter. And just for those of you who don't know, exactly, Jerry Stackhouse, he came after Vince
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:54
			Carter. And you know, he tried to the best of his ability, but everyone remembers Vince Carter. So
this is a small, I guess, comparison, you could say, with show business. And even in the arts
speaking, that it's usually the person who has the most hype that is remembered. And this is an
attitude, which I think a lot of people need to change. Now, with all due respect to all of our
speakers, we should not be coming to lectures for the sake of entertainment, but rather there should
be Islamic motives behind them from this motive is to increase our demand from this motive is to
gather in the world in the houses of Allah subhanaw, taala, and decrease in our worship. So these
		
00:02:54 --> 00:03:15
			should be some of the motives and entertainment should not be one of them. So those are just a quick
couple of words, I wanted to share with everyone here today. That having been said, the topic, as
was mentioned, was love stories from the public for the love of the life of departments, and the
love it was sent him or in other words, was the pocket from the love, it was so romantic.
		
00:03:16 --> 00:04:00
			Now, as I was researching this topic, if you look at the word romance in the dictionary, you will
come up with four different definitions from those 12 definitions that you will see, the vast
majority of them deal with emotions of the heart, and emotions of the heart to such a degree that
the mind plays little or no role in them. And now if you look back into Western civilization, or
history, there was a period in time, which they call it romanticism. Now, what could possibly be
what could possibly be the relationship between this period in time and the term and word romance?
If you look at the historical context of this time period, when did this period of romanticism take
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:43
			place? It was after the Enlightenment in western civilization. And this period of enlightenment,
enlightenment led to the Industrial Revolution. And during this timeframe, everything was about
science. Everything was about using your mind. Everything was about proving everything with your
mind, and empirical evidence. So people were getting fed up of this, especially the artists and the
people who were specialized individual. You can't be a good literalist, you can't be a good artist,
if you're just using your mind, but rather, it requires passion. It requires emotions from the
heart. So then, Araya arose this group of people who said that we're going to do things no longer
		
00:04:43 --> 00:05:00
			from our hearts, no long from our minds, but rather from our hearts. And as you see in history as a
whole, every time there's a reaction, and this is one of the laws of physics. Every time there's an
action, it results in an equal or greater reaction. And this is what happened and justice
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:45
			trading time came to be known as the trade of the limiters, because the refuse to use the intellect
and just persisted on using the hearts. So now, when we say was the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam a romantic to say that he was one who didn't use his intellect is insulting and degrading to
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. So this would be an incorrect terminology, but to say was
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam loving towards his wife? Did he show affection and mercy?
And did he show kindness to them? Then indeed, as Allah subhanho wa Taala says himself, that in the
Messenger of Allah, you have a great example. Now, who is this great example for? Is it for the
		
00:05:45 --> 00:06:31
			Muslim only? Is it for the people who come to the masjid? Is it for the people who seclude
themselves? Or is it for all of mankind? Allah subhanaw taala described him as a mercy for all of
mankind. But in this particular ayah, Allah subhanho wa Taala says that he is a great example of
love towards Allah goes on to say, for he who hopes in meeting Allah subhanho wa Taala. And he who
hopes in the last day, and remembers Allah subhanho wa Taala much. This is how Allah subhanho wa
Taala ends of the ayah was the Corolla hottie. Now, as we mentioned, as our Brother Mohammed, Steve
mentioned, the story of Abu Dhabi, Allahu taala, knew that he was a companion of the Prophet
		
00:06:31 --> 00:07:12
			sallallahu alayhi wa sallam who is persistent and consistent in his worship of Allah subhanho wa
Taala, sometimes to such a degree, that he would leave off the rights of his family. And the Prophet
salallahu alayhi wa sallam was an example not only for him, but for all of us here as well, that
there is a time for worship, there's a time for your Salah, there's a time for fasting. And at the
same time, there's a time where you spend with your family, where you take them out, you take them
out to enjoy nature, you take them out on experience filling trips, and you just spent quality time
with them. And this is what we see from the center of the prophets, Allah lohardagan center. So this
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:57
			having been said, our discussion revolves around the love stories, or the stories of kindness, or
the stories of affection that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam partook in towards his wife.
So in hearing the stories, not only should we be marveled at how the Messenger of Allah sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam is a great example for us in worship, and in character. But at the same time, is a
great example of a person who takes care and looks after his family, and his very loving as well. So
if you want to learn how to be affectionate towards your wife, and your families, and you want to
learn how to love, then you need to look no further than the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam. So
		
00:07:57 --> 00:08:14
			for those of you who may be married, this will serve as a reminder and a way, or a means to increase
the love amongst you and your spouse, and for those of us old, and for those of you who are not
married, then this was served as a way to prepare yourself as to what you should expect.
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:19
			So now some stories from the time of the Prophet Sall allamani was sent them
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:59
			or actually destroy some of the time with the function of aloha to send them where he showed
affection towards his wives are many. And I think before we actually get into this, we need to
actually define what the word love is, if you look in philosophy, you'll see that two questions
often arose the most the philosophies, what is the purpose of life? And how do you define love?
These were two things that were commonly asked. Now, again, you know, a lot of people may think I'm
bringing a lot of secular science into this, but secular scientists can help us understand Islam,
and likewise, Islam perfects our secular sciences, as well. So, when you study conflict resolution,
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:44
			or when you study advanced mathematics, there's something called Occam's razor, meaning a philosophy
or a theory that says that the best answer is the simplest. So then, here we have the philosophers
trying to define love. They'll give you paragraphs and essays and doctoral thesis on what love
actually is. But you need to look no further as the greatest lovers, the prophets of Allah while you
send them into simple words, love is to be thoughtful and considering and you will see that even
though there are different levels of love, and different types of love, they all have around the
they all revolve around these two key characteristics, being thoughtful and considerate. So you look
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:59
			at a child and the mother. The mother cares for the child and tries to protect and provide for this
child to the best of her ability. Then you look at the husband towards his wife, as our brother
Muhammad mentioned that you
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:25
			The wife and being considerate and showing his love. He often offers to wash the dishes and take out
the garbage and take care over other needs and necessities. These are ways that we show our love.
And this love is something that is mutually reciprocated. So that having been said, let us take an
example from the life of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, where he sewed and expressed his
love.
		
00:10:26 --> 00:11:05
			Now, one of the most clear starting funding from the life of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
is, as we all know, when we love something, we always refer to it. And we always talk about this. We
love Islam, this, we implement it, and we are not ashamed to show it and we're not ashamed to talk
about it. This is everything else. When you're really proud of something when you really love
something, you'll always be talking about it. So take one example from the CEO of the Prophet
sallallahu. And he said them was the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam selected Amara de la, the
illustrious and noble companions of the Allahu anhu, to be the leader of one of the expeditions. Now
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:46
			to be a commander, chosen by the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is indeed to be amongst the
elite. So I'm going to last a long time and who he thought that he has reached this great level in
the eyes of the Prophet sallallahu sallam. So what are the Prophet sallallahu Sallam is sitting?
During the time of the expedition? He comes up to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and says
Dr. sola, inform me. Who is the one who is most beloved to you? Or who do you love the most? To wish
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says, You know, I shouted Allahu Tanana. She is the most
beloved to me. So I'm glad that he gets a bit distorted in his thinking or Californication, maybe
		
00:11:46 --> 00:12:26
			towards the center will say my name now. So he says, The asuma is not the type of love I was
referring to, but rather Tony, who is the most beloved of the men. So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam says, her father, meaning avacado della hotelplanner. Now it would have been very easy and
simple for the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam, to see that it is a booklet, but rather to show
the magnitude and the great love that He has for ourselves. Allahu tanana, he said her father,
meaning the father of the Allahu Tanana. So this was one of the ways that deposit sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam showed his love, for I shall have the Allahu Tanana. And as we know, she was the most
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:47
			beloved of wives to the Prophet sallallahu Sallam that she was always a topic of discussion. And
every, everything that she thought of revolved around her to such a degree that if he was asked,
only love the most amongst the men, rather than seeing a book, his name, he said, the father of my
beloved. So this is one small example.
		
00:12:48 --> 00:13:32
			Another example. And this is where we get into the discussion of being considerate and thoughtful
that one of the ways that is truly established is to reflect upon how often do you actually think of
your wife? How often do you actually think about your spouse? And this applies both to the brothers
and the sisters, the brothers when they are at work? How difficult is it to send an email saying,
honey, I love you. And for the sisters, when they're at home, when they're baking, how difficult is
it to bake a cake or to bake them up in essence, I love you on top. It's not very difficult at all.
But our love is being so busy and being diverted from the plot of Satan. And from the whispers of
		
00:13:32 --> 00:13:49
			our enough, we don't take the time. And we don't have that will to put forth that extra step of
showing affection towards our spouses. So, let us take take a look at some other examples. From the
love of the prophets, Allah lohani will send them towards his wife.
		
00:13:50 --> 00:14:32
			Another example of which departed so love our new Selim showed his love openly. And you know, love
is not something that we need to be embarrassed of. It is something we should openly least speak
about. You know, in a lot of coaches in a lot of societies. The concept of love is taboo. Meaning
it's something that you only discuss in your houses or in very discreet places. But in Islam, that
form of love which Allah subhanaw taala has made permissible, it is open and easy for us to talk
about. And this is one of the wisdoms behind the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam marrying many
wives. You know, a lot of people may come and they will ask, why is it that he posits a Lala while
		
00:14:32 --> 00:14:59
			he was selling when he died, was married to nine wives. You know, what is that he was talking to a
lot of what he was selling was filled with desire, or what was the reasoning behind this. If you
studied the seal of the prophets of Allah while he was selling them, easily, you can come up with 10
different solutions. But at the top of the solutions, or at the top of the the reasoning is that in
order to preserve how the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was with his wife, you need
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:43
			There's a lot of witnesses to it. If you had one wife, how much could you possibly married about
this man, she could speak, but she will eventually forget. So this Allah subhana wa tada in his
divine wisdom, and in his, in his infinite wisdom, granted the prophets of Allah wanting some
permission to marry these women, so that we 1400 years later, we'll know how the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wasallam cared for his wife and loved his wife, and took care of them. So getting back to the
issue at hand, hiding love, this is not something we have to do. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam openly showed his affection for his wife. Now, how did he do this? Not by hugging them and
		
00:15:43 --> 00:16:24
			chasing them in public, nor mentioning lewd things about them. But rather, when he mentioned the
praises of people, he would praise his wife. And when he mentioned good characteristics, he would
mention the good characteristics of his wife. And when he was asked, Who was the most beloved to
him, he did not shy away and say, you know, the most vulgar to me is my mother, or my father, but
rather he was bold and proud, and he said that it is my wife. So this is something to keep in mind.
Now, this having been said, the companions of the Allahu taala and home, they always wanted to be on
the good side of the peninsula, to send them and always get the favor of the Prophet sallallahu
		
00:16:24 --> 00:17:03
			alayhi wasallam. So one of the ways they would do this, is that he would constantly give gifts to
the Prophet sallallahu Sallam from them was nice from them with milk and dates and other forms of
gifts. Now everyone knew that the most beloved wife to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was
Isla de la Bhutan. So what did they do? They thought that, you know, the most beloved wife is Isla
de la hotel. So when we give him gifts, while he's older, this will increase his joy, and it will
increase his happiness. So this is what the companions of the Allahu tanenbaum did, that the night
that we focus on a low Hollywood cinema hide with ourselves alongside this is when they would give
		
00:17:03 --> 00:17:40
			their gifts hoping that departments will allow it was set up would prefer this companion over the
other due to the amount of the gifts or due to the expenses or gifts, or anything other than that, I
for some people, it was just due to the fact that when you relate something with something good, it
will of itself become something good. So the I the night when I have a doula who thought I was
suddenly beloved to the prophets, Allah lahardee was send them. So they thought that if we give it
to him on this night, he'll love it even more, and he will show his appreciation even more. So the
companions are the Allahu taala when they did this, the other wives complained of injustice, saying
		
00:17:40 --> 00:18:25
			that they are a solar law. That why is it that during Isola della hutan has nights, you get so many
gifts, but during our nights we get nothing. So they sent Fatima, the daughter of deposits on the
love audio center, and Fatima First of all, the complaint of the wife towards the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam said that indeed She is my beloved, do not say anything over meaning that I shall
have the lowdown on her has a very special place in my heart. So don't you dare criticize her or say
anything that is not befitting of her. So this Fatima Giovanna, heard this and conveyed it to the
other wife, then almost selama rhodiola husana came with her complaints. And as the scenario goes,
		
00:18:26 --> 00:18:32
			almost an AMA complained to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and the Prophet sallallahu
Sallam was when I said that's very deep.
		
00:18:33 --> 00:19:17
			So now I shall go along with on on how to use this complaint. And it is natural for any woman or any
human being. That when you hear a complaint being said about you, you will have this word to
respond. But I said of the Allahu Tanana being the wife and being the mature for her age, she would
help herself and let the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam deal with the situation. So the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wasallam stayed silent and gave I shall have the Allahu Tanana look to from which
he understood that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam wanted her to defend herself. So I shall
have the Allahu taala and defended herself. And after she was done, she described the scenario. She
		
00:19:17 --> 00:19:55
			said, I spoke back to almost cinema in such a way that we saw the dryness from her mouth, meaning
that she was in a state of all she was in a state of shock, and her jaw just dropped and dried off.
So I sell at the lousiana was able to defend herself. So this is another example from the level of
deposit fell in love on himself that he openly sold it and did not hide it. Now from the examples of
the type, again describing the love of the province of aloha new center for eyeshadow gialos Ananda
is the example of Maslow. Maslow was a famous image of Hades and when he was married,
		
00:19:56 --> 00:19:59
			he would say from meaning
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:47
			From the mother of the believers, I shoved into the diva that I shot the daughter of a Cydia, Visa,
deca and Mussina, the one who preserved her chastity upon the pure. This is how we would speak about
Isla de la without Ana. Now the description just didn't end over here. But rather he went on to say,
Habiba, Rasulullah sallallahu sallam, that almost all the good characteristics, the final place he
would mention is that she was the Beloved of the prophets of Allah and he was sent him. So again,
the love of the Prophet sallallahu send them for I shall have the lowdown on Ananda was something
which was very, very well known. Now one last example about ISO of the law who died. And that is the
		
00:20:47 --> 00:21:30
			example of almost selama rhodiola turned on her. She was another wife of the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wasallam. And another one who taught the successes on the companions about how the Prophet
sallallahu Sallam was in his house. So we have a hadith for myself, the Allahu Tanana that the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would kiss her in Ramadan. So when the companions and successors
came to almost send them out of town, and they said, and they asked, Did this officer Lavanya smcc
Ramadan, and two weeks she says, No, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam kissed and preferred, I
said, of the Allahu taala on her alone, mean that she was the only one that was kissed from the
		
00:21:30 --> 00:22:16
			wives of the pockets of the law while you were indeed, he could not resist himself from her. So even
the other wives, as jealous as they were, as jealous as they were, recognize the love of the
prophets of Allah Juanjo Center and the favor that he gave, I shall have the Allahu Tanana and with
these last couple of minutes, let us reflect upon how the Prophet sallallahu Sallam actually dealt
with I shall have the lowdown on her. Now, these examples, they may not be directly applicable to
our lives today, but make analogy upon them and you will find many ways to sow kindness and love
towards your wife and busy life and I will try to take a few examples before we end off. So now take
		
00:22:16 --> 00:23:03
			the example of how did your mum become legislated for us to your mum, as we know, is a form or a way
of purification that we do when we do not have water. How did it come about? And in its wisdom
itself is another love story. One day I saw the Allahu Tanana was with the companions of the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and he himself some Allah on him cinemas presence, and then returning
back from one of the expeditions. And during this journey, I shall have the Allahu Tanana last one
of the necklaces that she has. And as we all know, jewelry something beloved to every woman, Allah
subhanho wa Taala nationally created this love for ornaments and beauty and a woman and thus we love
		
00:23:03 --> 00:23:49
			them even more when they have these ornaments and forms of beautification on them. So I shall Allahu
Tanana when she lost this necklace, she said to you deposit some law honey instead of Yasuda law,
I've lost this necklace, and I have misplaced it. Now, this is the first point that we can stop at
and drive elicit from most men. And, you know, this includes all of us are very harsh and very rigid
towards their women and towards people in general. When they put their minds to it, they're set that
they have to live up to the schedule that you have set. So when we go on journeys, you know, the
wife's like, I want to use the bathroom, you're like, you can wait a bit longer. And you at home,
		
00:23:50 --> 00:24:26
			you're hungry, your wife has to eat as well. But you're like, Honey, I'm hungry, feed me now you can
eat later. We don't have patience towards them. We don't have this gentleness. Now take the example
of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he's witnessed companions coming back from an
expedition. Everyone is hungry, everyone is thirsty. Everyone is in a state where they don't feel
natural, you know, you're away from home. It's not like our June study where they're quick, and we
have all these luxuries, but rather you ride riding through the desert. Now in this very scenario,
they were in a place where there was no washer. So they were in a time of difficulty. So I showed
		
00:24:26 --> 00:24:49
			the lungs and I knew that Abu Bakar her father would come and represent her and she would get very
angry. So my time came, and I shall have the lowdown on her was visited by a father and a book a
parameter and got very, very upset, saying how could you prevent the companions of the Prophet
sallallahu Sallam from traveling back to their homes after this great expedition for the sake of an
echo.
		
00:24:50 --> 00:25:00
			I too wish I shall have the long side and just remain quiet. ain't heard what's your father has to
say. So now as you mentioned, there was the washer over here. They didn't
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:06
			know what to do when the time was so lucky. And then Allah subhana wa tada revealed to the IRS of
		
00:25:07 --> 00:25:54
			so behind the reasoning of revelation behind this noble and beautiful Ayah was another love story
that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was generous and kind towards Ayesha that he knew that
she loved this necklace. So he stopped his horse care event, his whole expedition to search with
this necklace of Isla de la husana. salon team, there is no water and just Allah subhanho wa Taala
reveals the ayah pertaining to tm. So this is just one example. Now, as we mentioned, such examples
may not be applicable to all of our lives. But the lesson that is to be derived is the concept and
wisdom behind kindness, love, mercy, and being considerate. So now How hard is it for us as men to
		
00:25:54 --> 00:26:39
			open the doors for our wife? How hard is it for us men, that before we go home after a long day of
work, that we focus ourselves with something, and we use the miswak, especially our *, and we
come over here, and we look nice? How hard is it to do these things, when the only take a couple of
seconds. And likewise, for our sisters, if you want to increase the love in your marriage, then know
that it is a two way road. The what you give is surely what you will get. So put love into your
marriage and find unique ways and dynamic ways of expressing your love. Now I times you may be
surprised with putting on perfume and putting on makeup and dressing nicely. But at times, you need
		
00:26:39 --> 00:27:22
			to find other ways to please your husbands. As we know we live in modern times. times are changing
the ways that the women used to please their husbands in the past may not be enough anymore in
submerges. So you always have to be creative. Always be researching on ways to keep that love and to
keep that spark in your marriage. Be considerate of the feelings of your spouse and Bismillahi sada
Allah subhanho wa Taala will place that consideration and will place that love in the mind and heart
of your spouse as well. That having been said, we asked Allah subhanho wa Taala to increase this in
our love for our spouses and increases our love for Allah subhana wa tada and His messenger who not
		
00:27:22 --> 00:27:42
			only was an example for us, and a better and more my life, but also as an example for us in how to
treat our women and as the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that the best of you are those
who are best to their wife acordo Cody had the worst of Roma Holly welcome Anissa isms they mean.
China's a lot more will be handed a shadow under either.
