I hope you are all doing well, I
would like to start with truly appreciating all
of you for coming out.
It is an honor to be here with
all of you truly.
We ask Allah to make this gathering, on
this blessed day, in this blessed hour, a
gathering that is Marhumah, that Allah has descended
upon.
A gathering that Allah has forgiven, a gathering
that is mentioned in Allah's gatherings.
Because we hope that Allah accepts this as
a gathering of remembrance, a gathering of knowledge
of Allah.
So I would like to talk about the
second part of the shahada today, which is
I testify that there is no
messenger after the messenger, Muhammad ﷺ, and he
is the servant messenger to all of mankind.
When it comes to this testimony, we usually
think what?
What comes to mind usually?
What do we need to believe?
So this is an open question, what is
the first thing that comes to mind when
you say I need to believe in the
Prophet ﷺ being the last messenger?
Except that he is a Prophet of God
and he comes with the truth.
Okay, what else?
He is the last messenger, very good.
Kids, any ideas?
Yes?
We are talking about the Prophet ﷺ, we
are saying when we say that we believe
that the Prophet ﷺ is the final messenger,
what does that mean to you?
What does that mean to you?
Yes?
Brave, nice.
Yes?
He is the last messenger.
Very good.
So we have certain beliefs and Alhamdulillah we
maintain that he is the last messenger, he
came with the truth, we need to believe
in it, very good.
Have we ever asked ourselves, how do you
prepare yourself?
How do you prepare yourself to emotionally and
intellectually accept the message of the Prophet ﷺ?
Because again, we are not robots, right?
We are not turn on and turn off,
we are not chat GPT where you just
give us some information and you can just
make something out of it, we are humans.
We feel, we think, we live, we experience.
And so, how do you prepare yourself emotionally
to accept the message of the Prophet ﷺ?
So that is what we are going to
be talking about today.
And we are going to mention seven points.
How many?
Seven.
The first emotional relationship that we need to
have to the Prophet ﷺ is deep respect
and honour.
If you don't have respect when the name
of the Prophet ﷺ is mentioned, then there
is something wrong.
Because the angel Gabriel said, whoever does not
send peace upon you when your name is
mentioned, may he be cursed.
And the Prophet ﷺ said, add me.
And that is why whenever his name is
mentioned, we send dua upon him, we have
to send dua upon him.
What is one of the best acts we
can do on Friday?
Send salawat upon the Prophet ﷺ.
What does sending salawat upon the Prophet ﷺ
do?
It eases your difficulties.
It makes your duas accepted.
It gets you closer to Allah.
It allows you to be able to see
the Prophet ﷺ in your dreams.
It does so much.
Just by mentioning the respect and the honour
that goes with his name.
And you know, Allah ﷻ speaks of this
in the Qur'an in so many different
places.
In one of the places that you can
truly feel what's happening is where Allah ﷻ
says in Surah Al-Fatih, almost as if
it's a news report.
It's like a breaking news alert.
إِنَّا أَرْسَلْنَاكَ شَاهِدًا We have sent to you
a witness.
What does a witness do?
A witness about reality itself, about the truth.
We have sent a witness of truth.
Imagine there's a court case, the most important
court case in the world.
And you have one witness coming with the
truth.
That is the Prophet ﷺ.
He's the witness to mankind.
So Allah is saying, I have sent you
a witness.
But usually, what does a witness do?
He only says his part and he, he
leaves.
No.
شَاهِدًا وَمُبَشِّرًا وَنَذِيرًا And he is one to
bring glad tidings.
So not only is he witnessing the truth
for you, not only is he testifying it
for you, he's giving you glad tidings.
He's saying, congratulations.
Do this and you'll be happy.
You'll succeed.
You'll pass the test of this world and
the next.
You'll know what it means to be happy
and alive.
So he's مُبَشِّرًا but at the same time,
نَذِيرًا He's a forewarner, he's warning you as
well.
He's saying, if you decide to turn away
from God, then you won't have happiness.
You'll have punishment.
And your life will be miserable.
And your afterlife will be miserable.
The Prophet ﷺ was all of these things.
And then Allah tells us why.
Here's the real reason why he's telling us.
This خَبْر, this news.
It's literally like a news that Allah is
giving us.
Why is he telling us?
لِي لَمْ لِي تُؤْمِنُ To believe.
لِي تُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ So that you may
believe in Allah and His Messenger.
Is that enough?
No.
What comes with ايمان?
This is the point I'm trying to get
at today.
لِي تُعَزِّرُهُ وَتُعَزِّرُهُ وَتُوَقِّرُهُ So that you may
respect Him.
And honor Him.
Who?
The Prophet ﷺ.
So this ايمان, if it's not coupled with
respect and dignity, you're not gonna have faith.
And this is also something that's so unique
about Muslims.
Wallahi it's unique about Muslims.
Today, you have Christians and non-Christians, atheists
talking bad about Isa ﷺ.
And nobody bats an eye.
Nobody says anything.
You have posters in universities making fun of
him.
You have art that is making fun of
him.
Nobody says anything.
But let somebody do something like that in
a Muslim country.
They wouldn't be able to.
Imagine somebody walking around with a shirt, making
fun of the Prophet ﷺ.
It's impossible.
You can't even think of it.
There is a scholar, who was once mentioning
a story of his own personal events, where
he says that, I was once sitting in
a bus, and he was in a Muslim
country, and there was a sister, who was
dressed very inappropriately.
And so the first thing that, obviously the
first perspective you have of this person, is
not that practicing, just kind of whatever.
And in front of her was a rabbi,
an Arab rabbi.
And he was talking to his friend rabbi.
And they started to make fun of the
Prophet ﷺ.
They said something that was sarcastic, or putting
the Prophet ﷺ down.
And she gets up, and out of anger,
her hands are shaking.
And she says, Say anything, but don't say
anything about the Prophet ﷺ.
You could talk about anything, but don't talk
about the Prophet ﷺ.
And she's screaming at them.
She gets up in the middle of the
bus, and she's not dressed appropriately.
So the Shaykh, he says, I was shocked
and ashamed, that she was the one to
get up.
And I was ashamed, because I mistook to
think that she doesn't even believe, or she
doesn't have any faith at all.
But she was the one to get up,
and openly rebuke them, for what they said.
So this shows you that, Alhamdulillah, for Muslims,
we still have a deep love, and honor,
for the Prophet ﷺ.
And that needs to, how do you bring
that about?
How does this happen?
Like, do we teach the seerah to our
children?
Do we make them intimately know, who this
Prophet of God is?
If we believe in Him, if it's a
pillar of faith, if it's the second half
of our testimony, if we can't believe without
believing in Him, then do we truly believe
if we don't know Him?
What type of belief is that?
What type of knowing is that?
What type of Iman is that?
So that's the first point.
The first point is, to respect Him and
honor Him.
The second point, is, to emotionally relate, to
the fact, that He greatly loved us.
Not just know up here, but feel down
here.
That He loved us, more than we could
ever love Him, truly, and more than we
love ourselves.
Allah ﷻ speaks of this in the Qur
'an, again and again.
لَقَدْ جَاءَكُمْ رَسُولٌ مِّنْ أَنفُسِكُمْ Verily, a Prophet
has come to you from amongst yourselves.
عَزِيزٌ عَلِيهِ مَا عَلِتْتُمْ He grieves, He is
grievous, over your suffering, over what you are
inflicted with.
حَرِيصٌ عَلَيْكُمْ And He is concerned over you,
over mankind, over humanity itself.
He's concerned.
حَرِيصٌ عَلَيْكُمْ فِي الْمُؤْمِنِينَ رَبُّ الرَّحِيمِ With the
believers, He is so kind, He is so
merciful.
The Prophet ﷺ lived, suffered, joined, and cried
for us.
The Prophet ﷺ says, لِكُلِّ نَبِيٍّ دَعْوَةٍ مُسْتَجَابَةٍ
He says, every Prophet had a special du
'a.
A du'a that was accepted.
فَتَعَجَّلَ كُلُّ نَبِيٍّ دَعْوَةٍ And each Prophet asked
that du'a in this dunya.
He didn't keep it.
He didn't save it.
He used it.
That accepted one time du'a, each Prophet
used.
In this dunya.
وَإِنِّي اِخْتَبَأْتُ دَعْوَةِ But I kept my du
'a.
شَفَاعَةً لِأُمَّتِي مُنْ قِيَامٍ So that I could
use it for my Ummah, as an intercession,
as a شَفَاعَة on the Day of Judgment.
Imagine each child is given something.
What happens, right?
If a mother is given something really good,
what does she do?
She keeps it and gives it to her
child.
Because she says, this is really precious, this
is really nice.
I'm sure my kid will love it.
Here, I'm going to give it to my
child.
This is a good mother, right?
Now the Prophet ﷺ, he's given something for
him.
An accepted du'a.
And he says, no, I'm going to keep
this.
I'm going to keep it for my Ummah,
on the Day of Judgment.
In the narrations of Badr, in other than
Badr, the Prophet ﷺ was crying in sujood
at night.
And Allah ﷻ sent down Angel Jibreel from
the heavens, from the heavens, to ask him,
Ya Rasulullah, what is it that grieves you?
What is it that makes you cry?
And he said, my concern, what's going to
happen to them?
What's going to happen to my people?
Allah ﷻ knows what the Prophet ﷺ is
concerned for.
He knows better than anybody.
But what happened?
He sent down Angel Jibreel to make it
a point for everybody to know what is
happening.
For us to know what has happened.
And Allah ﷻ said through Angel Jibreel, you
will be satisfied in the affair of your
Ummah.
You will be pleased with the affair of
your Ummah.
So this is the second emotion, which is
to relate to the emotion that he loved
us.
The third emotion that we need to relate
to is our need, our deep-seated need
of the Prophet ﷺ.
To feel, to experience that we need his
guidance.
And that if we think we can follow
another path, that path is invalid.
What is the khutbah tul hajjah that we
hear in so many khutbahs?
فَإِنَّ أَصْدَقَ الْحَدِيثِ كِتَابُ اللَّهِ That the truest
of all words is the word of Allah.
وَإِنَّ خَيْرَ الْحَدِيِّ هَجُو مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَى صَلَى And
the best of guidance, the best of ways,
of paths in life is the path, the
way of the Prophet ﷺ.
There is no other path.
Allah clearly says in the Qur'an, وَإِنَّكَ
And it's you, O Muhammad.
It is you.
لَتَهْدِي إِلَى صِرَاطِ الْمُسْتَقِيمِ Who guides to the
straight path.
There are many paths in life.
Every path leads to the hellfire except the
path of the Prophet ﷺ.
If you decide that there is another path
for you in life, that is, I'm sorry,
that's not the path.
So when people say, discover yourself, they're effectively
saying, discover a path for yourself.
Like look, these are all incorrect paths.
Or there's no truth here, so find your
own truth.
But we know, we know that this world
has a truth.
And it is Allah and the coming of
the Prophet ﷺ.
And these are truths beyond measure.
These are the biggest blessings.
The greatest blessings.
And so to be able to recognize that
is important.
But if we don't, then we should remember
that the Prophet ﷺ said, كُلُّ أُمَّتِي يَدْخُلُنُ
الْجَنَّةِ All of my ummah will enter Jannah.
All of them.
إِلَّا مَنْ أَبَهَى Except for those who refuse,
who reject.
قَالُوا The companion said, وَمَنْ يَعْبَيْنَا أَصْرَ اللَّهِ
Who is this person who refuses?
قَالَ مَنْ أَطَاعَنِي دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةِ Whoever obeys me
will enter Jannah.
وَمَنْ عَظَانِي فَقَدْ أَبَهَا And whoever refuses to
follow me, whoever disobeys me, then he has
rejected.
Now, over here, I want us to ask
ourselves, it's really easy to listen to this,
how many of us truly actually follow through
with this?
Why is it that when it comes to
learning a hadith, we say, oh brother, I
know this already.
Why are you telling me?
It happens, it happens.
Somebody comes and gives you a reminder, you
say, I know better, I know better.
Is this how you deal with the word
of Allah and His Messenger?
Is this how you respect it?
Is this how you recognize His love?
Is this how you recognize the need for
His guidance?
Is this the respect that's supposed to be
shown to the adab with the Prophet Sallallahu
Alaihi Wasallam?
The etiquette, the respect, the manners that you're
supposed to have with the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi
Wasallam?
Or is this something else?
This leads to the next point, which is
the adab and the ihtiram with the Prophet
Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
If we don't have respect with him, then
we do not have the readiness to have
iman.
Allah says in the Qur'an, يَا أَيُّهَا
الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَقْفَعُوا أَصْوَاتَكُمْ فَقَصْوَةِ النَّبِيِّ O
you who believe, do not raise your voices
above the voice of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi
Wasallam.
وَلَا تَجْهَرُوا لَهُ بِالْقَوْلِ كَجَهْرِيَ بَعَضُكُمْ لِبَعْضَهُ Don't
even talk to him the way you talk
to a regular person.
You know like how we're talking to one
another?
Don't even talk to him like that.
Talk to him with a level of respect
that you wouldn't give anybody else.
And if you don't, أَنْ تَحْبَطَ عَمَالُكُمْ The
fear is all of your good deeds will
be wiped out.
وَأَنْتُمْ لَا تَشْعُرُونَ They will get wiped out
and you didn't even realize that you've lost
everything.
This is the fear dear brothers and sisters.
Wallahi this is the fear.
The fear is it's so easy to fall
into either making fun of or belittling something
that is attached to the Prophet ﷺ.
Have you not seen a person who makes
fun of a hadith?
Belittles a hadith?
Says I can't understand it so you know
what?
That's fine.
They start making fun of it.
They start laughing at it.
They say what a funny hadith.
This may fall into you losing all of
your good deeds because you made fun of
him.
And if you truly made fun of him
then you did kufr.
If you intentionally did something that was sarcastic
or humorous in regards to the Prophet ﷺ,
belittling him at his expense, this is kufr.
By consensus this is kufr.
Yet the opposite is true.
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَغُضُّوا أَصْوَاتَهُمْ عِندَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ Verily
those who keep their voices low in the
presence of the Prophet of God, أُولَٰئِكَ الَّذِينَ
امْتَحَنَ اللَّهُ قُلُوبَهُمْ لِلتَّقْوَى Their hearts are the
hearts that Allah has tested for taqwa.
Allahu Akbar.
What a beautiful ayah.
Allah did not give them taqwa.
No, no.
Allah readied them for taqwa.
Allah tested them for taqwa.
By how?
By them to learn with their voices in
front of the Prophet ﷺ.
And the same applies with great scholars or
people of high respect in Islam such as
parents and so on.
You should have respect for them of that
level.
And particularly inheritors of Islam, you should have
that respect for them.
True scholars, not us real scholars.
Give them that respect.
Because that respect is part of our inheritance
from the Prophet ﷺ.
The next point, so we've mentioned four.
How many have we mentioned?
Four, what's number one?
Honor.
Number two?
His love.
Number three?
His need.
His need to need him.
Number four?
Having etiquette, manners with him.
And number five?
Is to celebrate the fact that he was.
To rejoice in the fact that he came
to us as a mercy to mankind.
To truly be happy, to do shukr to
Allah that he gave us the Prophet ﷺ.
Allah ﷺ said, قُلْ بِفَبْلِ اللَّهِ Say with
the virtue of Allah وَبِرَحْمَتِهِ And with his
mercy فَبِذَلِكَ فَلْيَفْرَحُونَ Be happy about that.
وَخَيْرٌ مِنْ مَا يَجْمَعُونَ It is better than
everything you could have gathered.
Everything you can muster in this world, better
than it is to be happy about what
Allah has given you.
In terms of virtue and mercy.
You know, subhanAllah, the sahaba, they understood this.
They lived by this.
And then you see the effects on them,
right?
You see how they managed to survive in
this world.
How many of you have gone to Medina?
Okay, mashaAllah, may Allah give everybody a chance
to go to Medina inshaAllah.
And Mecca.
If you go to Medina, you will see
how much of a barren, desert, mountainous area
it is.
And you will wonder, you will truly wonder,
how is it that the messenger of God
came to this land?
How is it that the best of people
of this dunya, of this world, came from
this barren area?
You will truly ask yourself this.
And the answer is within the question.
It is because they were around the Prophet.
They understood what it meant to love him,
to emotionally relate to him.
Al-Bayhaqi has a hadith, he narrates a
hadith.
He says that, جاء رجل من الأنصار An
Ansari companion came to the Prophet.
And he said, يا أسول الله, whenever I'm
not with you, I feel a deep sense
of pain.
And when I see you, I feel happy.
When I see you, I feel at peace.
But when I'm not with you, I feel
worried.
And then he started to cry.
And the Prophet, he asked him, why are
you crying?
Think about it.
If the reason for him feeling sad is
not seeing the Prophet, then by seeing him,
he should be happy.
No?
So the Prophet says to him, why are
you crying?
You're here.
He said, يا أسول الله, I just remembered.
I just thought of right now, as I
was saying this, that in Jannah, you will
be with the Prophets.
On a stage much higher than you.
And I will be further down.
So I will not be able to see
you in Jannah.
And that's what made me sad.
That I won't be able to see you.
And right after this, Allah subhanahu wa ta
'ala revealed the ayah.
And whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger, فَأُولَٰئِكَ
مَعَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمَ اللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ Then they will
be with those whom Allah has blessed.
مِنَ النَّبِيِّينَ, from the Prophets.
وَالصِّدِّقِينَ, from the truthful.
وَحَسُنَ أُولَٰئِكَ رَفِيقًا And how beautiful, how amazing
of a company that is.
فسبحان الله, this was the love that they
had.
Anas radiallahu ta'ala, who narrates a hadith
in the Bukhari and Muslim.
He says, a man once came to the
Prophet ﷺ with a very serious face.
And he says, Ya Rasulallah, I love the
people.
And over here he's talking about the righteous.
He says, I love the people.
But my actions, they're not of the people.
I love them, but I'm not like them.
The Prophet ﷺ, he gave him a one
liner.
He said, أَنتَ مَعَ مَنْ تُحِبُّ You will
be with who you love.
And Anas says, after that day we have
not heard a word that has made us
more happier than those words.
That if we can't be pious, as long
as we love the pious, as long as
we love the Prophets, as long as we
love the Prophet ﷺ, we'll be able to
be with them.
I love the Prophet ﷺ.
I love the compassions.
But the problem is, how do we take
this feeling and turn it into reality?
How do we take this feeling and turn
it into action?
The worst thing we can do, and it's
what we always do, which is to feel
something right now, and to go out and
do nothing about it.
And to go back into our own heedless
ways.
One of the best things we can do
is attach ourselves to the life of the
Prophet ﷺ.
To his Ahadi.
To make it a point to give proper
Tarbiyah to our children.
Tarbiyah for our children is simply, don't think
of your Tarbiyah for your children that is
simply to provide food to them, to provide
shelter.
What Tarbiyah have you provided if you haven't
instilled a love for the Prophet ﷺ?
If you haven't shown them how much you
love them, by loving the Prophet ﷺ.
The worst thing we can do is go
back and do nothing.
Continuing on with the last two points.
The sixth point of emotional relationship to the
Prophet ﷺ, how to emotionally relate to him,
is to submit to what he says.
To submit to what he says is essential.
قُلْ إِن كُنتُمْ تُحِبُّونَ اللَّهَ فَاتَّبِعُونِ Say, O
Muhammad ﷺ, if you truly love Allah, follow
me.
And if you do so, not only will
you be fulfilling your love for Allah, no
no, يُحْبِبْكُمُ اللَّهُ Allah will then love you.
Follow me, not only will you show that
you love Allah, Allah will love you back.
وَيَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ ذُنُوبَكُمْ And He will forgive you
for your sins.
And whoever does so, has succeeded in the
best way possible.
There's no success bigger than that.
Allah says about the words of the Prophet
ﷺ, His words are revelation.
وَمَا يَنطِقُ عَنِ الْهَوَىٰ His words are not
of desire.
He does not speak from His desire.
إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا وَحْنٌ يُوحَىٰ Verily, whatever He
says about the religion is revelation.
It is wahi from Allah.
The Prophet ﷺ said, إِذَا أَمَرْتُكُمْ بِشَيْءٍ If
I tell you to do something, if I
order you to do something, فَأَتُوا مِنْهُمْ اَسْتَطَعْتُمْ
Do what you can.
There's no two ways about it.
There's no not feeling it today, maybe tomorrow.
You know what, like, yeah, that's fine, but
oh, it's only sunnah.
It's only sunnah.
The sahaba, may Allah be pleased with them,
they did not differentiate in terms of action
between what was fard, what was mandatory, and
what was voluntary, what was sunnah.
They did not separate.
In action, they treated them the same.
Just like how when it came to something
that was disliked and something that was prohibited,
haram, they didn't differentiate in terms of action,
they stayed away from them the same way.
The Prophet ﷺ is saying, if I tell
you to do something, don't find a loophole.
Do what I say.
And if I tell you to not do
something, then leave it.
Because your success, your happiness, your fulfillment, is
in doing what I say.
And if you think, if you really think
there is another way out there, then you
don't really follow me.
You don't really believe in me.
And you don't really believe in Allah.
The seventh and final emotional relation that we
should have to the Prophet ﷺ is yes,
he was a man who lived 1400 years
ago.
What does that mean for us?
The Prophet ﷺ said, I wish I could
see my brothers.
The companions said, Ya Rasulullah, are we not
your brothers?
The Prophet ﷺ said, No, no, you are
my companions.
My brothers.
My brothers are those who will come after
me.
They will not be able to say, Ya
Rasulullah, I want to see you.
Because I will not be there.
My brothers are those who will come after
me.
Who will believe in me and they would
have never seen.
That is faith, that is love.
That is commitment.
And the Prophet ﷺ the Prophet ﷺ remembered
us.
He made dua for us.
He deeply cared for us.
So how do we show our care and
concern for him?
By making dua.
By living to his method.
By following it, by learning it, by teaching
it, by living by it, by being true
to his message.
And the best way to do that is
to have your direct connection to him.
Today, we think, Oh, the Prophet ﷺ is
gone.
That's not true.
He's not gone.
His message is with us.
And it's with us through a direct chain.
Usually, when we think of something, we say,
Oh, if I read it in a book,
then you know it's different.
But we don't have that.
Yes, we have books, but we have something
really special.
We have transmission.
We have a chain connecting us back to
him.
So it's like, you have literally somebody who
directly spoke to the Prophet ﷺ.
And then that person spoke to another person.
And you are learning this basically directly from
him because you got it from an authentic
source of transmission.
So we are connected by chains of transmission
of knowledge.
Our religion is not a dead religion.
Our religion is not a religion of just
books.
Our religion is a lived path, the path
that connects back to the Prophet ﷺ.
العلماء ورثة الأنبياء The Prophets are inheritors, are
the heirs.
The scholars are the heirs to the Prophets.
What does an heir do?
An heir inherits.
He inherits everything that is important.
And the scholars did that.
From the sahaba to the tabi'een from
the tabi'een to the tabi'ut tabi
'een from those successors and onwards.
And when you learn something about the Prophet
ﷺ, you are learning it as if you
are learning it from him.
It's almost as if you are learning it
from him.
And what's so beautiful about that is that
many of the scholars, they say that today
we have access to the Prophet ﷺ in
ways that many of the companions did not.
Why?
How is that possible?
Let's think about this a little bit and
let's end with this.
Think about this.
How is it possible that today somebody might
have more access to the Prophet ﷺ than
some of the companions?
Think about it before you raise your hand.
Thousands of hadiths, some of the sahabas they
didn't hear everything before maybe they died.
Allahu akbar.
Allahu akbar.
So beautiful.
Exactly.
Right on the spot.
There are hundreds of thousands of ahadith from
the private life of the Prophet ﷺ from
certain eras of his life that other companions
might have not had.
Might have not had access to.
So you can live with him in his
day to day.
Walk in his path by looking at his
entire day.
Looking at his entire life.
Looking at him as a father, as a
husband, as a leader, as a warrior, as
a prophet, as a worshipper, as a slave
of God, as a human.
You can do all of that by living
with him through the authentic tradition of the
Prophet ﷺ.
So these are the seven points of our
emotional awareness and relationship to him and we
will quickly repeat them inshallah.
Number one is to honor him.
Number two is to to know that he
loved us.
To know that he loved us.
Number three Number three Khalas we already did
love.
Number two was that he loved us.
Yes.
Number three Ha Number three was
to recognize our need of him.
Number three was to recognize our need of
him.
Number four was to have etiquette with him.
Was to have etiquette with him.
Number five is to celebrate him.
To celebrate him.
Number six is to submit to him.
And number seven is to be connected to
him through the chain of knowledge.
And so we ask Allah subhanahu wa ta
'ala to allow us to be those who
love him.
Not only love him in words but truly
love him in our actions.
Love him in a way that allows us
to be with him in Jannah.
May Allah Azza wa Jalla make us from
those who drink from his fountain on the
day of judgment.
May Allah Azza wa Jalla make us from
those who when the Prophet ﷺ sees us
on the day of judgment he can recognize
us as his ummati.
As one from his ummah.
May Allah allow us to live a life
that is truthful to his path.
Truthful in a way that allows his intercession
to be of benefit to us.
May Allah allow the intercession of the Prophet
ﷺ to be granted to us so that
we may enter Jannah without going to Jahannam.
May Allah allow us to be close to
him in Jannah.
May Allah allow us to be able to
see him in Jannah.
May Allah allow us to be able to
see your beautiful face in Jannah.
May Allah allow us to be able to
talk to the Prophet ﷺ.
To have conversations with him.
To tell him about our lives so that
he could listen to us in Jannah.
May Allah allow our salawat on this blessed
day to reach the Prophet ﷺ and so
that he may see our salawat on this
day.
Ya Allah, accept our salawat.
Ya Allah, forgive us for our sins.
Have mercy upon us.
Forgive us, our parents, our children, our mashayikh,
and everybody who has a right over us
and all that we have a right over
them.
Ameen.
Ya Rabb al-alameen.
Wa sallallahu alayhi wa sallam a'la Muhammad
wa a'la alihi wa sahbihi ajma'in.
