00:00:11 --> 00:00:16
			I hope you are all doing well, I
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:20
			would like to start with truly appreciating all
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:22
			of you for coming out.
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:24
			It is an honor to be here with
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:24
			all of you truly.
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:28
			We ask Allah to make this gathering, on
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:31
			this blessed day, in this blessed hour, a
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:36
			gathering that is Marhumah, that Allah has descended
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:36
			upon.
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:43
			A gathering that Allah has forgiven, a gathering
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:44
			that is mentioned in Allah's gatherings.
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:48
			Because we hope that Allah accepts this as
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:51
			a gathering of remembrance, a gathering of knowledge
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:52
			of Allah.
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:59
			So I would like to talk about the
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:02
			second part of the shahada today, which is
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:11
			I testify that there is no
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:16
			messenger after the messenger, Muhammad ﷺ, and he
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:19
			is the servant messenger to all of mankind.
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:26
			When it comes to this testimony, we usually
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:27
			think what?
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:28
			What comes to mind usually?
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:30
			What do we need to believe?
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:34
			So this is an open question, what is
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:37
			the first thing that comes to mind when
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:39
			you say I need to believe in the
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:41
			Prophet ﷺ being the last messenger?
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:43
			Except that he is a Prophet of God
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:48
			and he comes with the truth.
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:48
			Okay, what else?
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:54
			He is the last messenger, very good.
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:58
			Kids, any ideas?
		
00:01:59 --> 00:01:59
			Yes?
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:06
			We are talking about the Prophet ﷺ, we
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:08
			are saying when we say that we believe
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:10
			that the Prophet ﷺ is the final messenger,
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:11
			what does that mean to you?
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:13
			What does that mean to you?
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:14
			Yes?
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:16
			Brave, nice.
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:17
			Yes?
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:19
			He is the last messenger.
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:20
			Very good.
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:22
			So we have certain beliefs and Alhamdulillah we
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:24
			maintain that he is the last messenger, he
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:26
			came with the truth, we need to believe
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:27
			in it, very good.
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:31
			Have we ever asked ourselves, how do you
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:32
			prepare yourself?
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:39
			How do you prepare yourself to emotionally and
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:47
			intellectually accept the message of the Prophet ﷺ?
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:50
			Because again, we are not robots, right?
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:53
			We are not turn on and turn off,
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:55
			we are not chat GPT where you just
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:57
			give us some information and you can just
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:59
			make something out of it, we are humans.
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:04
			We feel, we think, we live, we experience.
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:12
			And so, how do you prepare yourself emotionally
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:17
			to accept the message of the Prophet ﷺ?
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:19
			So that is what we are going to
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:19
			be talking about today.
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:23
			And we are going to mention seven points.
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:23
			How many?
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:25
			Seven.
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:32
			The first emotional relationship that we need to
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:38
			have to the Prophet ﷺ is deep respect
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:39
			and honour.
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:46
			If you don't have respect when the name
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:51
			of the Prophet ﷺ is mentioned, then there
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:52
			is something wrong.
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:57
			Because the angel Gabriel said, whoever does not
		
00:03:57 --> 00:04:02
			send peace upon you when your name is
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:03
			mentioned, may he be cursed.
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:06
			And the Prophet ﷺ said, add me.
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:10
			And that is why whenever his name is
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:14
			mentioned, we send dua upon him, we have
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:15
			to send dua upon him.
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:19
			What is one of the best acts we
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:19
			can do on Friday?
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:23
			Send salawat upon the Prophet ﷺ.
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:25
			What does sending salawat upon the Prophet ﷺ
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:25
			do?
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:27
			It eases your difficulties.
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:29
			It makes your duas accepted.
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:31
			It gets you closer to Allah.
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:33
			It allows you to be able to see
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:34
			the Prophet ﷺ in your dreams.
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:35
			It does so much.
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:40
			Just by mentioning the respect and the honour
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:41
			that goes with his name.
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:44
			And you know, Allah ﷻ speaks of this
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:45
			in the Qur'an in so many different
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:45
			places.
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:48
			In one of the places that you can
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:52
			truly feel what's happening is where Allah ﷻ
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:54
			says in Surah Al-Fatih, almost as if
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:55
			it's a news report.
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:58
			It's like a breaking news alert.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:04
			إِنَّا أَرْسَلْنَاكَ شَاهِدًا We have sent to you
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:06
			a witness.
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:09
			What does a witness do?
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:14
			A witness about reality itself, about the truth.
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:16
			We have sent a witness of truth.
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:19
			Imagine there's a court case, the most important
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:20
			court case in the world.
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:24
			And you have one witness coming with the
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:24
			truth.
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:27
			That is the Prophet ﷺ.
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:29
			He's the witness to mankind.
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:33
			So Allah is saying, I have sent you
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:34
			a witness.
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:37
			But usually, what does a witness do?
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:39
			He only says his part and he, he
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:39
			leaves.
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:41
			No.
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:46
			شَاهِدًا وَمُبَشِّرًا وَنَذِيرًا And he is one to
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:47
			bring glad tidings.
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:50
			So not only is he witnessing the truth
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:53
			for you, not only is he testifying it
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:55
			for you, he's giving you glad tidings.
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:57
			He's saying, congratulations.
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:01
			Do this and you'll be happy.
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:03
			You'll succeed.
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:06
			You'll pass the test of this world and
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:07
			the next.
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:10
			You'll know what it means to be happy
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:11
			and alive.
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:16
			So he's مُبَشِّرًا but at the same time,
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:20
			نَذِيرًا He's a forewarner, he's warning you as
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:20
			well.
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:23
			He's saying, if you decide to turn away
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:26
			from God, then you won't have happiness.
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:29
			You'll have punishment.
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:31
			And your life will be miserable.
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:33
			And your afterlife will be miserable.
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:37
			The Prophet ﷺ was all of these things.
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:43
			And then Allah tells us why.
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:47
			Here's the real reason why he's telling us.
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:51
			This خَبْر, this news.
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:52
			It's literally like a news that Allah is
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:53
			giving us.
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:55
			Why is he telling us?
		
00:06:55 --> 00:07:01
			لِي لَمْ لِي تُؤْمِنُ To believe.
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:08
			لِي تُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ So that you may
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:10
			believe in Allah and His Messenger.
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:13
			Is that enough?
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:15
			No.
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:16
			What comes with ايمان?
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:18
			This is the point I'm trying to get
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:18
			at today.
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:25
			لِي تُعَزِّرُهُ وَتُعَزِّرُهُ وَتُوَقِّرُهُ So that you may
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:26
			respect Him.
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:28
			And honor Him.
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:29
			Who?
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:30
			The Prophet ﷺ.
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:34
			So this ايمان, if it's not coupled with
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:40
			respect and dignity, you're not gonna have faith.
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:42
			And this is also something that's so unique
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:43
			about Muslims.
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:45
			Wallahi it's unique about Muslims.
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:51
			Today, you have Christians and non-Christians, atheists
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:54
			talking bad about Isa ﷺ.
		
00:07:54 --> 00:07:55
			And nobody bats an eye.
		
00:07:56 --> 00:07:57
			Nobody says anything.
		
00:07:57 --> 00:08:00
			You have posters in universities making fun of
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:00
			him.
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:02
			You have art that is making fun of
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:03
			him.
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:05
			Nobody says anything.
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:09
			But let somebody do something like that in
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:10
			a Muslim country.
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:13
			They wouldn't be able to.
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:17
			Imagine somebody walking around with a shirt, making
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:18
			fun of the Prophet ﷺ.
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:20
			It's impossible.
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:21
			You can't even think of it.
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:26
			There is a scholar, who was once mentioning
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:29
			a story of his own personal events, where
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:31
			he says that, I was once sitting in
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:34
			a bus, and he was in a Muslim
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:37
			country, and there was a sister, who was
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:39
			dressed very inappropriately.
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:44
			And so the first thing that, obviously the
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:49
			first perspective you have of this person, is
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:51
			not that practicing, just kind of whatever.
		
00:08:54 --> 00:08:58
			And in front of her was a rabbi,
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:00
			an Arab rabbi.
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:05
			And he was talking to his friend rabbi.
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:09
			And they started to make fun of the
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:10
			Prophet ﷺ.
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:13
			They said something that was sarcastic, or putting
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:14
			the Prophet ﷺ down.
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:19
			And she gets up, and out of anger,
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:21
			her hands are shaking.
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:26
			And she says, Say anything, but don't say
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:27
			anything about the Prophet ﷺ.
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:31
			You could talk about anything, but don't talk
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:33
			about the Prophet ﷺ.
		
00:09:34 --> 00:09:36
			And she's screaming at them.
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:37
			She gets up in the middle of the
		
00:09:37 --> 00:09:40
			bus, and she's not dressed appropriately.
		
00:09:43 --> 00:09:45
			So the Shaykh, he says, I was shocked
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:47
			and ashamed, that she was the one to
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:48
			get up.
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:52
			And I was ashamed, because I mistook to
		
00:09:52 --> 00:09:54
			think that she doesn't even believe, or she
		
00:09:54 --> 00:09:56
			doesn't have any faith at all.
		
00:09:58 --> 00:10:00
			But she was the one to get up,
		
00:10:02 --> 00:10:06
			and openly rebuke them, for what they said.
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:11
			So this shows you that, Alhamdulillah, for Muslims,
		
00:10:11 --> 00:10:15
			we still have a deep love, and honor,
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:16
			for the Prophet ﷺ.
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:19
			And that needs to, how do you bring
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:20
			that about?
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:22
			How does this happen?
		
00:10:24 --> 00:10:26
			Like, do we teach the seerah to our
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:27
			children?
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:30
			Do we make them intimately know, who this
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:32
			Prophet of God is?
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:34
			If we believe in Him, if it's a
		
00:10:34 --> 00:10:36
			pillar of faith, if it's the second half
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:39
			of our testimony, if we can't believe without
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:41
			believing in Him, then do we truly believe
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:42
			if we don't know Him?
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:44
			What type of belief is that?
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:46
			What type of knowing is that?
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:48
			What type of Iman is that?
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:51
			So that's the first point.
		
00:10:51 --> 00:10:54
			The first point is, to respect Him and
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:54
			honor Him.
		
00:10:56 --> 00:11:05
			The second point, is, to emotionally relate, to
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:09
			the fact, that He greatly loved us.
		
00:11:11 --> 00:11:16
			Not just know up here, but feel down
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:16
			here.
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:22
			That He loved us, more than we could
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:28
			ever love Him, truly, and more than we
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:29
			love ourselves.
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:36
			Allah ﷻ speaks of this in the Qur
		
00:11:36 --> 00:11:37
			'an, again and again.
		
00:11:38 --> 00:11:42
			لَقَدْ جَاءَكُمْ رَسُولٌ مِّنْ أَنفُسِكُمْ Verily, a Prophet
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:45
			has come to you from amongst yourselves.
		
00:11:46 --> 00:11:50
			عَزِيزٌ عَلِيهِ مَا عَلِتْتُمْ He grieves, He is
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:56
			grievous, over your suffering, over what you are
		
00:11:56 --> 00:11:58
			inflicted with.
		
00:11:59 --> 00:12:05
			حَرِيصٌ عَلَيْكُمْ And He is concerned over you,
		
00:12:05 --> 00:12:07
			over mankind, over humanity itself.
		
00:12:08 --> 00:12:09
			He's concerned.
		
00:12:12 --> 00:12:17
			حَرِيصٌ عَلَيْكُمْ فِي الْمُؤْمِنِينَ رَبُّ الرَّحِيمِ With the
		
00:12:17 --> 00:12:20
			believers, He is so kind, He is so
		
00:12:20 --> 00:12:21
			merciful.
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:30
			The Prophet ﷺ lived, suffered, joined, and cried
		
00:12:30 --> 00:12:31
			for us.
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:41
			The Prophet ﷺ says, لِكُلِّ نَبِيٍّ دَعْوَةٍ مُسْتَجَابَةٍ
		
00:12:41 --> 00:12:44
			He says, every Prophet had a special du
		
00:12:44 --> 00:12:44
			'a.
		
00:12:45 --> 00:12:46
			A du'a that was accepted.
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:54
			فَتَعَجَّلَ كُلُّ نَبِيٍّ دَعْوَةٍ And each Prophet asked
		
00:12:54 --> 00:12:55
			that du'a in this dunya.
		
00:12:56 --> 00:12:57
			He didn't keep it.
		
00:12:57 --> 00:12:58
			He didn't save it.
		
00:12:58 --> 00:12:59
			He used it.
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:02
			That accepted one time du'a, each Prophet
		
00:13:02 --> 00:13:03
			used.
		
00:13:03 --> 00:13:04
			In this dunya.
		
00:13:05 --> 00:13:09
			وَإِنِّي اِخْتَبَأْتُ دَعْوَةِ But I kept my du
		
00:13:09 --> 00:13:10
			'a.
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:15
			شَفَاعَةً لِأُمَّتِي مُنْ قِيَامٍ So that I could
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:18
			use it for my Ummah, as an intercession,
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:20
			as a شَفَاعَة on the Day of Judgment.
		
00:13:22 --> 00:13:24
			Imagine each child is given something.
		
00:13:25 --> 00:13:26
			What happens, right?
		
00:13:26 --> 00:13:28
			If a mother is given something really good,
		
00:13:28 --> 00:13:28
			what does she do?
		
00:13:28 --> 00:13:30
			She keeps it and gives it to her
		
00:13:30 --> 00:13:30
			child.
		
00:13:30 --> 00:13:33
			Because she says, this is really precious, this
		
00:13:33 --> 00:13:34
			is really nice.
		
00:13:34 --> 00:13:35
			I'm sure my kid will love it.
		
00:13:35 --> 00:13:36
			Here, I'm going to give it to my
		
00:13:36 --> 00:13:36
			child.
		
00:13:37 --> 00:13:38
			This is a good mother, right?
		
00:13:39 --> 00:13:42
			Now the Prophet ﷺ, he's given something for
		
00:13:42 --> 00:13:42
			him.
		
00:13:43 --> 00:13:44
			An accepted du'a.
		
00:13:44 --> 00:13:46
			And he says, no, I'm going to keep
		
00:13:46 --> 00:13:46
			this.
		
00:13:47 --> 00:13:49
			I'm going to keep it for my Ummah,
		
00:13:49 --> 00:13:50
			on the Day of Judgment.
		
00:13:55 --> 00:13:58
			In the narrations of Badr, in other than
		
00:13:58 --> 00:14:02
			Badr, the Prophet ﷺ was crying in sujood
		
00:14:02 --> 00:14:03
			at night.
		
00:14:04 --> 00:14:09
			And Allah ﷻ sent down Angel Jibreel from
		
00:14:09 --> 00:14:14
			the heavens, from the heavens, to ask him,
		
00:14:14 --> 00:14:18
			Ya Rasulullah, what is it that grieves you?
		
00:14:19 --> 00:14:21
			What is it that makes you cry?
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:27
			And he said, my concern, what's going to
		
00:14:27 --> 00:14:28
			happen to them?
		
00:14:29 --> 00:14:31
			What's going to happen to my people?
		
00:14:34 --> 00:14:37
			Allah ﷻ knows what the Prophet ﷺ is
		
00:14:37 --> 00:14:37
			concerned for.
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:39
			He knows better than anybody.
		
00:14:42 --> 00:14:44
			But what happened?
		
00:14:45 --> 00:14:48
			He sent down Angel Jibreel to make it
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:50
			a point for everybody to know what is
		
00:14:50 --> 00:14:50
			happening.
		
00:14:51 --> 00:14:53
			For us to know what has happened.
		
00:14:54 --> 00:14:58
			And Allah ﷻ said through Angel Jibreel, you
		
00:14:58 --> 00:15:02
			will be satisfied in the affair of your
		
00:15:02 --> 00:15:02
			Ummah.
		
00:15:03 --> 00:15:05
			You will be pleased with the affair of
		
00:15:05 --> 00:15:05
			your Ummah.
		
00:15:08 --> 00:15:11
			So this is the second emotion, which is
		
00:15:11 --> 00:15:13
			to relate to the emotion that he loved
		
00:15:13 --> 00:15:13
			us.
		
00:15:16 --> 00:15:18
			The third emotion that we need to relate
		
00:15:18 --> 00:15:25
			to is our need, our deep-seated need
		
00:15:25 --> 00:15:27
			of the Prophet ﷺ.
		
00:15:28 --> 00:15:31
			To feel, to experience that we need his
		
00:15:31 --> 00:15:32
			guidance.
		
00:15:34 --> 00:15:36
			And that if we think we can follow
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:38
			another path, that path is invalid.
		
00:15:38 --> 00:15:40
			What is the khutbah tul hajjah that we
		
00:15:40 --> 00:15:41
			hear in so many khutbahs?
		
00:15:42 --> 00:15:45
			فَإِنَّ أَصْدَقَ الْحَدِيثِ كِتَابُ اللَّهِ That the truest
		
00:15:45 --> 00:15:47
			of all words is the word of Allah.
		
00:15:48 --> 00:15:52
			وَإِنَّ خَيْرَ الْحَدِيِّ هَجُو مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَى صَلَى And
		
00:15:52 --> 00:15:56
			the best of guidance, the best of ways,
		
00:15:57 --> 00:16:00
			of paths in life is the path, the
		
00:16:00 --> 00:16:01
			way of the Prophet ﷺ.
		
00:16:04 --> 00:16:05
			There is no other path.
		
00:16:07 --> 00:16:10
			Allah clearly says in the Qur'an, وَإِنَّكَ
		
00:16:10 --> 00:16:12
			And it's you, O Muhammad.
		
00:16:13 --> 00:16:14
			It is you.
		
00:16:14 --> 00:16:17
			لَتَهْدِي إِلَى صِرَاطِ الْمُسْتَقِيمِ Who guides to the
		
00:16:17 --> 00:16:18
			straight path.
		
00:16:18 --> 00:16:19
			There are many paths in life.
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:25
			Every path leads to the hellfire except the
		
00:16:25 --> 00:16:26
			path of the Prophet ﷺ.
		
00:16:28 --> 00:16:31
			If you decide that there is another path
		
00:16:31 --> 00:16:33
			for you in life, that is, I'm sorry,
		
00:16:33 --> 00:16:34
			that's not the path.
		
00:16:35 --> 00:16:42
			So when people say, discover yourself, they're effectively
		
00:16:42 --> 00:16:45
			saying, discover a path for yourself.
		
00:16:46 --> 00:16:48
			Like look, these are all incorrect paths.
		
00:16:49 --> 00:16:51
			Or there's no truth here, so find your
		
00:16:51 --> 00:16:51
			own truth.
		
00:16:54 --> 00:16:56
			But we know, we know that this world
		
00:16:56 --> 00:16:57
			has a truth.
		
00:16:58 --> 00:17:00
			And it is Allah and the coming of
		
00:17:00 --> 00:17:01
			the Prophet ﷺ.
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:05
			And these are truths beyond measure.
		
00:17:06 --> 00:17:07
			These are the biggest blessings.
		
00:17:08 --> 00:17:09
			The greatest blessings.
		
00:17:11 --> 00:17:15
			And so to be able to recognize that
		
00:17:15 --> 00:17:17
			is important.
		
00:17:17 --> 00:17:19
			But if we don't, then we should remember
		
00:17:19 --> 00:17:22
			that the Prophet ﷺ said, كُلُّ أُمَّتِي يَدْخُلُنُ
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:25
			الْجَنَّةِ All of my ummah will enter Jannah.
		
00:17:26 --> 00:17:26
			All of them.
		
00:17:27 --> 00:17:32
			إِلَّا مَنْ أَبَهَى Except for those who refuse,
		
00:17:32 --> 00:17:33
			who reject.
		
00:17:34 --> 00:17:38
			قَالُوا The companion said, وَمَنْ يَعْبَيْنَا أَصْرَ اللَّهِ
		
00:17:39 --> 00:17:42
			Who is this person who refuses?
		
00:17:44 --> 00:17:50
			قَالَ مَنْ أَطَاعَنِي دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةِ Whoever obeys me
		
00:17:50 --> 00:17:51
			will enter Jannah.
		
00:17:52 --> 00:17:58
			وَمَنْ عَظَانِي فَقَدْ أَبَهَا And whoever refuses to
		
00:17:58 --> 00:18:03
			follow me, whoever disobeys me, then he has
		
00:18:03 --> 00:18:03
			rejected.
		
00:18:04 --> 00:18:06
			Now, over here, I want us to ask
		
00:18:06 --> 00:18:10
			ourselves, it's really easy to listen to this,
		
00:18:11 --> 00:18:15
			how many of us truly actually follow through
		
00:18:15 --> 00:18:15
			with this?
		
00:18:17 --> 00:18:22
			Why is it that when it comes to
		
00:18:22 --> 00:18:27
			learning a hadith, we say, oh brother, I
		
00:18:27 --> 00:18:28
			know this already.
		
00:18:30 --> 00:18:31
			Why are you telling me?
		
00:18:32 --> 00:18:34
			It happens, it happens.
		
00:18:35 --> 00:18:36
			Somebody comes and gives you a reminder, you
		
00:18:36 --> 00:18:38
			say, I know better, I know better.
		
00:18:39 --> 00:18:40
			Is this how you deal with the word
		
00:18:40 --> 00:18:41
			of Allah and His Messenger?
		
00:18:43 --> 00:18:45
			Is this how you respect it?
		
00:18:46 --> 00:18:47
			Is this how you recognize His love?
		
00:18:48 --> 00:18:50
			Is this how you recognize the need for
		
00:18:50 --> 00:18:51
			His guidance?
		
00:18:53 --> 00:18:55
			Is this the respect that's supposed to be
		
00:18:55 --> 00:18:58
			shown to the adab with the Prophet Sallallahu
		
00:18:58 --> 00:18:58
			Alaihi Wasallam?
		
00:18:58 --> 00:19:02
			The etiquette, the respect, the manners that you're
		
00:19:02 --> 00:19:03
			supposed to have with the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi
		
00:19:03 --> 00:19:03
			Wasallam?
		
00:19:06 --> 00:19:07
			Or is this something else?
		
00:19:09 --> 00:19:12
			This leads to the next point, which is
		
00:19:12 --> 00:19:16
			the adab and the ihtiram with the Prophet
		
00:19:16 --> 00:19:16
			Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
		
00:19:19 --> 00:19:23
			If we don't have respect with him, then
		
00:19:23 --> 00:19:25
			we do not have the readiness to have
		
00:19:25 --> 00:19:26
			iman.
		
00:19:28 --> 00:19:30
			Allah says in the Qur'an, يَا أَيُّهَا
		
00:19:30 --> 00:19:33
			الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَقْفَعُوا أَصْوَاتَكُمْ فَقَصْوَةِ النَّبِيِّ O
		
00:19:33 --> 00:19:35
			you who believe, do not raise your voices
		
00:19:35 --> 00:19:37
			above the voice of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi
		
00:19:37 --> 00:19:37
			Wasallam.
		
00:19:39 --> 00:19:42
			وَلَا تَجْهَرُوا لَهُ بِالْقَوْلِ كَجَهْرِيَ بَعَضُكُمْ لِبَعْضَهُ Don't
		
00:19:42 --> 00:19:44
			even talk to him the way you talk
		
00:19:44 --> 00:19:45
			to a regular person.
		
00:19:46 --> 00:19:47
			You know like how we're talking to one
		
00:19:47 --> 00:19:47
			another?
		
00:19:48 --> 00:19:49
			Don't even talk to him like that.
		
00:19:51 --> 00:19:53
			Talk to him with a level of respect
		
00:19:53 --> 00:19:55
			that you wouldn't give anybody else.
		
00:19:56 --> 00:19:59
			And if you don't, أَنْ تَحْبَطَ عَمَالُكُمْ The
		
00:19:59 --> 00:20:01
			fear is all of your good deeds will
		
00:20:01 --> 00:20:02
			be wiped out.
		
00:20:04 --> 00:20:08
			وَأَنْتُمْ لَا تَشْعُرُونَ They will get wiped out
		
00:20:08 --> 00:20:12
			and you didn't even realize that you've lost
		
00:20:12 --> 00:20:12
			everything.
		
00:20:13 --> 00:20:15
			This is the fear dear brothers and sisters.
		
00:20:15 --> 00:20:16
			Wallahi this is the fear.
		
00:20:17 --> 00:20:20
			The fear is it's so easy to fall
		
00:20:20 --> 00:20:24
			into either making fun of or belittling something
		
00:20:24 --> 00:20:26
			that is attached to the Prophet ﷺ.
		
00:20:31 --> 00:20:33
			Have you not seen a person who makes
		
00:20:33 --> 00:20:34
			fun of a hadith?
		
00:20:36 --> 00:20:37
			Belittles a hadith?
		
00:20:38 --> 00:20:41
			Says I can't understand it so you know
		
00:20:41 --> 00:20:41
			what?
		
00:20:42 --> 00:20:42
			That's fine.
		
00:20:43 --> 00:20:44
			They start making fun of it.
		
00:20:44 --> 00:20:46
			They start laughing at it.
		
00:20:46 --> 00:20:47
			They say what a funny hadith.
		
00:20:53 --> 00:20:59
			This may fall into you losing all of
		
00:20:59 --> 00:21:02
			your good deeds because you made fun of
		
00:21:02 --> 00:21:02
			him.
		
00:21:03 --> 00:21:05
			And if you truly made fun of him
		
00:21:05 --> 00:21:06
			then you did kufr.
		
00:21:07 --> 00:21:11
			If you intentionally did something that was sarcastic
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:13
			or humorous in regards to the Prophet ﷺ,
		
00:21:14 --> 00:21:16
			belittling him at his expense, this is kufr.
		
00:21:17 --> 00:21:19
			By consensus this is kufr.
		
00:21:26 --> 00:21:28
			Yet the opposite is true.
		
00:21:31 --> 00:21:35
			إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَغُضُّوا أَصْوَاتَهُمْ عِندَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ Verily
		
00:21:35 --> 00:21:38
			those who keep their voices low in the
		
00:21:38 --> 00:21:43
			presence of the Prophet of God, أُولَٰئِكَ الَّذِينَ
		
00:21:43 --> 00:21:46
			امْتَحَنَ اللَّهُ قُلُوبَهُمْ لِلتَّقْوَى Their hearts are the
		
00:21:46 --> 00:21:49
			hearts that Allah has tested for taqwa.
		
00:21:49 --> 00:21:50
			Allahu Akbar.
		
00:21:50 --> 00:21:51
			What a beautiful ayah.
		
00:21:53 --> 00:21:55
			Allah did not give them taqwa.
		
00:21:55 --> 00:21:55
			No, no.
		
00:21:55 --> 00:21:57
			Allah readied them for taqwa.
		
00:21:57 --> 00:21:59
			Allah tested them for taqwa.
		
00:21:59 --> 00:22:00
			By how?
		
00:22:00 --> 00:22:02
			By them to learn with their voices in
		
00:22:02 --> 00:22:04
			front of the Prophet ﷺ.
		
00:22:06 --> 00:22:10
			And the same applies with great scholars or
		
00:22:10 --> 00:22:13
			people of high respect in Islam such as
		
00:22:13 --> 00:22:15
			parents and so on.
		
00:22:15 --> 00:22:17
			You should have respect for them of that
		
00:22:17 --> 00:22:18
			level.
		
00:22:18 --> 00:22:23
			And particularly inheritors of Islam, you should have
		
00:22:23 --> 00:22:24
			that respect for them.
		
00:22:25 --> 00:22:28
			True scholars, not us real scholars.
		
00:22:30 --> 00:22:31
			Give them that respect.
		
00:22:33 --> 00:22:36
			Because that respect is part of our inheritance
		
00:22:36 --> 00:22:37
			from the Prophet ﷺ.
		
00:22:41 --> 00:22:43
			The next point, so we've mentioned four.
		
00:22:43 --> 00:22:43
			How many have we mentioned?
		
00:22:44 --> 00:22:45
			Four, what's number one?
		
00:22:46 --> 00:22:46
			Honor.
		
00:22:46 --> 00:22:48
			Number two?
		
00:22:49 --> 00:22:50
			His love.
		
00:22:50 --> 00:22:51
			Number three?
		
00:22:53 --> 00:22:54
			His need.
		
00:22:55 --> 00:22:56
			His need to need him.
		
00:22:57 --> 00:22:58
			Number four?
		
00:22:59 --> 00:23:01
			Having etiquette, manners with him.
		
00:23:02 --> 00:23:03
			And number five?
		
00:23:04 --> 00:23:07
			Is to celebrate the fact that he was.
		
00:23:09 --> 00:23:12
			To rejoice in the fact that he came
		
00:23:12 --> 00:23:15
			to us as a mercy to mankind.
		
00:23:16 --> 00:23:18
			To truly be happy, to do shukr to
		
00:23:18 --> 00:23:21
			Allah that he gave us the Prophet ﷺ.
		
00:23:24 --> 00:23:27
			Allah ﷺ said, قُلْ بِفَبْلِ اللَّهِ Say with
		
00:23:27 --> 00:23:31
			the virtue of Allah وَبِرَحْمَتِهِ And with his
		
00:23:31 --> 00:23:35
			mercy فَبِذَلِكَ فَلْيَفْرَحُونَ Be happy about that.
		
00:23:35 --> 00:23:37
			وَخَيْرٌ مِنْ مَا يَجْمَعُونَ It is better than
		
00:23:37 --> 00:23:39
			everything you could have gathered.
		
00:23:39 --> 00:23:41
			Everything you can muster in this world, better
		
00:23:41 --> 00:23:43
			than it is to be happy about what
		
00:23:43 --> 00:23:44
			Allah has given you.
		
00:23:44 --> 00:23:47
			In terms of virtue and mercy.
		
00:23:52 --> 00:23:58
			You know, subhanAllah, the sahaba, they understood this.
		
00:24:00 --> 00:24:02
			They lived by this.
		
00:24:05 --> 00:24:07
			And then you see the effects on them,
		
00:24:07 --> 00:24:07
			right?
		
00:24:07 --> 00:24:11
			You see how they managed to survive in
		
00:24:11 --> 00:24:11
			this world.
		
00:24:14 --> 00:24:15
			How many of you have gone to Medina?
		
00:24:17 --> 00:24:19
			Okay, mashaAllah, may Allah give everybody a chance
		
00:24:19 --> 00:24:20
			to go to Medina inshaAllah.
		
00:24:21 --> 00:24:22
			And Mecca.
		
00:24:22 --> 00:24:28
			If you go to Medina, you will see
		
00:24:28 --> 00:24:32
			how much of a barren, desert, mountainous area
		
00:24:32 --> 00:24:32
			it is.
		
00:24:34 --> 00:24:37
			And you will wonder, you will truly wonder,
		
00:24:38 --> 00:24:40
			how is it that the messenger of God
		
00:24:40 --> 00:24:41
			came to this land?
		
00:24:41 --> 00:24:43
			How is it that the best of people
		
00:24:43 --> 00:24:46
			of this dunya, of this world, came from
		
00:24:46 --> 00:24:47
			this barren area?
		
00:24:48 --> 00:24:49
			You will truly ask yourself this.
		
00:24:51 --> 00:24:56
			And the answer is within the question.
		
00:24:56 --> 00:24:58
			It is because they were around the Prophet.
		
00:24:59 --> 00:25:02
			They understood what it meant to love him,
		
00:25:02 --> 00:25:04
			to emotionally relate to him.
		
00:25:06 --> 00:25:09
			Al-Bayhaqi has a hadith, he narrates a
		
00:25:09 --> 00:25:09
			hadith.
		
00:25:10 --> 00:25:12
			He says that, جاء رجل من الأنصار An
		
00:25:12 --> 00:25:14
			Ansari companion came to the Prophet.
		
00:25:16 --> 00:25:22
			And he said, يا أسول الله, whenever I'm
		
00:25:22 --> 00:25:24
			not with you, I feel a deep sense
		
00:25:24 --> 00:25:26
			of pain.
		
00:25:27 --> 00:25:29
			And when I see you, I feel happy.
		
00:25:31 --> 00:25:34
			When I see you, I feel at peace.
		
00:25:35 --> 00:25:37
			But when I'm not with you, I feel
		
00:25:37 --> 00:25:38
			worried.
		
00:25:38 --> 00:25:39
			And then he started to cry.
		
00:25:42 --> 00:25:44
			And the Prophet, he asked him, why are
		
00:25:44 --> 00:25:45
			you crying?
		
00:25:45 --> 00:25:46
			Think about it.
		
00:25:48 --> 00:25:51
			If the reason for him feeling sad is
		
00:25:51 --> 00:25:55
			not seeing the Prophet, then by seeing him,
		
00:25:55 --> 00:25:56
			he should be happy.
		
00:25:56 --> 00:25:56
			No?
		
00:25:57 --> 00:25:59
			So the Prophet says to him, why are
		
00:25:59 --> 00:26:00
			you crying?
		
00:26:01 --> 00:26:02
			You're here.
		
00:26:03 --> 00:26:06
			He said, يا أسول الله, I just remembered.
		
00:26:08 --> 00:26:10
			I just thought of right now, as I
		
00:26:10 --> 00:26:17
			was saying this, that in Jannah, you will
		
00:26:17 --> 00:26:18
			be with the Prophets.
		
00:26:19 --> 00:26:20
			On a stage much higher than you.
		
00:26:22 --> 00:26:23
			And I will be further down.
		
00:26:24 --> 00:26:26
			So I will not be able to see
		
00:26:26 --> 00:26:27
			you in Jannah.
		
00:26:29 --> 00:26:31
			And that's what made me sad.
		
00:26:32 --> 00:26:33
			That I won't be able to see you.
		
00:26:37 --> 00:26:40
			And right after this, Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:26:40 --> 00:26:42
			'ala revealed the ayah.
		
00:26:44 --> 00:26:49
			And whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger, فَأُولَٰئِكَ
		
00:26:49 --> 00:26:52
			مَعَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمَ اللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ Then they will
		
00:26:52 --> 00:26:54
			be with those whom Allah has blessed.
		
00:26:54 --> 00:26:56
			مِنَ النَّبِيِّينَ, from the Prophets.
		
00:26:57 --> 00:26:59
			وَالصِّدِّقِينَ, from the truthful.
		
00:27:01 --> 00:27:07
			وَحَسُنَ أُولَٰئِكَ رَفِيقًا And how beautiful, how amazing
		
00:27:07 --> 00:27:08
			of a company that is.
		
00:27:09 --> 00:27:12
			فسبحان الله, this was the love that they
		
00:27:12 --> 00:27:13
			had.
		
00:27:15 --> 00:27:18
			Anas radiallahu ta'ala, who narrates a hadith
		
00:27:18 --> 00:27:19
			in the Bukhari and Muslim.
		
00:27:20 --> 00:27:22
			He says, a man once came to the
		
00:27:22 --> 00:27:25
			Prophet ﷺ with a very serious face.
		
00:27:25 --> 00:27:31
			And he says, Ya Rasulallah, I love the
		
00:27:31 --> 00:27:32
			people.
		
00:27:33 --> 00:27:35
			And over here he's talking about the righteous.
		
00:27:36 --> 00:27:38
			He says, I love the people.
		
00:27:40 --> 00:27:44
			But my actions, they're not of the people.
		
00:27:47 --> 00:27:50
			I love them, but I'm not like them.
		
00:27:53 --> 00:27:56
			The Prophet ﷺ, he gave him a one
		
00:27:56 --> 00:27:56
			liner.
		
00:27:58 --> 00:28:02
			He said, أَنتَ مَعَ مَنْ تُحِبُّ You will
		
00:28:02 --> 00:28:03
			be with who you love.
		
00:28:06 --> 00:28:09
			And Anas says, after that day we have
		
00:28:09 --> 00:28:11
			not heard a word that has made us
		
00:28:11 --> 00:28:13
			more happier than those words.
		
00:28:14 --> 00:28:17
			That if we can't be pious, as long
		
00:28:17 --> 00:28:19
			as we love the pious, as long as
		
00:28:19 --> 00:28:21
			we love the Prophets, as long as we
		
00:28:21 --> 00:28:24
			love the Prophet ﷺ, we'll be able to
		
00:28:24 --> 00:28:25
			be with them.
		
00:28:31 --> 00:28:33
			I love the Prophet ﷺ.
		
00:28:34 --> 00:28:37
			I love the compassions.
		
00:28:39 --> 00:28:42
			But the problem is, how do we take
		
00:28:42 --> 00:28:47
			this feeling and turn it into reality?
		
00:28:47 --> 00:28:50
			How do we take this feeling and turn
		
00:28:50 --> 00:28:50
			it into action?
		
00:28:52 --> 00:28:55
			The worst thing we can do, and it's
		
00:28:55 --> 00:28:58
			what we always do, which is to feel
		
00:28:58 --> 00:29:02
			something right now, and to go out and
		
00:29:02 --> 00:29:03
			do nothing about it.
		
00:29:04 --> 00:29:08
			And to go back into our own heedless
		
00:29:08 --> 00:29:08
			ways.
		
00:29:10 --> 00:29:12
			One of the best things we can do
		
00:29:12 --> 00:29:15
			is attach ourselves to the life of the
		
00:29:15 --> 00:29:16
			Prophet ﷺ.
		
00:29:17 --> 00:29:19
			To his Ahadi.
		
00:29:20 --> 00:29:24
			To make it a point to give proper
		
00:29:24 --> 00:29:25
			Tarbiyah to our children.
		
00:29:26 --> 00:29:28
			Tarbiyah for our children is simply, don't think
		
00:29:28 --> 00:29:29
			of your Tarbiyah for your children that is
		
00:29:29 --> 00:29:31
			simply to provide food to them, to provide
		
00:29:31 --> 00:29:32
			shelter.
		
00:29:32 --> 00:29:34
			What Tarbiyah have you provided if you haven't
		
00:29:34 --> 00:29:36
			instilled a love for the Prophet ﷺ?
		
00:29:38 --> 00:29:40
			If you haven't shown them how much you
		
00:29:40 --> 00:29:44
			love them, by loving the Prophet ﷺ.
		
00:29:48 --> 00:29:51
			The worst thing we can do is go
		
00:29:51 --> 00:29:52
			back and do nothing.
		
00:29:55 --> 00:29:57
			Continuing on with the last two points.
		
00:29:59 --> 00:30:02
			The sixth point of emotional relationship to the
		
00:30:02 --> 00:30:05
			Prophet ﷺ, how to emotionally relate to him,
		
00:30:05 --> 00:30:09
			is to submit to what he says.
		
00:30:11 --> 00:30:14
			To submit to what he says is essential.
		
00:30:17 --> 00:30:22
			قُلْ إِن كُنتُمْ تُحِبُّونَ اللَّهَ فَاتَّبِعُونِ Say, O
		
00:30:22 --> 00:30:25
			Muhammad ﷺ, if you truly love Allah, follow
		
00:30:25 --> 00:30:26
			me.
		
00:30:27 --> 00:30:31
			And if you do so, not only will
		
00:30:31 --> 00:30:33
			you be fulfilling your love for Allah, no
		
00:30:33 --> 00:30:37
			no, يُحْبِبْكُمُ اللَّهُ Allah will then love you.
		
00:30:38 --> 00:30:42
			Follow me, not only will you show that
		
00:30:42 --> 00:30:44
			you love Allah, Allah will love you back.
		
00:30:48 --> 00:30:50
			وَيَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ ذُنُوبَكُمْ And He will forgive you
		
00:30:50 --> 00:30:51
			for your sins.
		
00:30:53 --> 00:30:56
			And whoever does so, has succeeded in the
		
00:30:56 --> 00:30:57
			best way possible.
		
00:30:58 --> 00:31:00
			There's no success bigger than that.
		
00:31:02 --> 00:31:04
			Allah says about the words of the Prophet
		
00:31:04 --> 00:31:07
			ﷺ, His words are revelation.
		
00:31:08 --> 00:31:10
			وَمَا يَنطِقُ عَنِ الْهَوَىٰ His words are not
		
00:31:10 --> 00:31:11
			of desire.
		
00:31:12 --> 00:31:14
			He does not speak from His desire.
		
00:31:14 --> 00:31:18
			إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا وَحْنٌ يُوحَىٰ Verily, whatever He
		
00:31:18 --> 00:31:20
			says about the religion is revelation.
		
00:31:20 --> 00:31:22
			It is wahi from Allah.
		
00:31:25 --> 00:31:28
			The Prophet ﷺ said, إِذَا أَمَرْتُكُمْ بِشَيْءٍ If
		
00:31:28 --> 00:31:30
			I tell you to do something, if I
		
00:31:30 --> 00:31:33
			order you to do something, فَأَتُوا مِنْهُمْ اَسْتَطَعْتُمْ
		
00:31:33 --> 00:31:33
			Do what you can.
		
00:31:36 --> 00:31:37
			There's no two ways about it.
		
00:31:37 --> 00:31:39
			There's no not feeling it today, maybe tomorrow.
		
00:31:42 --> 00:31:45
			You know what, like, yeah, that's fine, but
		
00:31:45 --> 00:31:46
			oh, it's only sunnah.
		
00:31:47 --> 00:31:48
			It's only sunnah.
		
00:31:50 --> 00:31:53
			The sahaba, may Allah be pleased with them,
		
00:31:54 --> 00:31:56
			they did not differentiate in terms of action
		
00:31:56 --> 00:31:58
			between what was fard, what was mandatory, and
		
00:31:58 --> 00:32:01
			what was voluntary, what was sunnah.
		
00:32:01 --> 00:32:02
			They did not separate.
		
00:32:02 --> 00:32:04
			In action, they treated them the same.
		
00:32:05 --> 00:32:08
			Just like how when it came to something
		
00:32:08 --> 00:32:11
			that was disliked and something that was prohibited,
		
00:32:11 --> 00:32:13
			haram, they didn't differentiate in terms of action,
		
00:32:13 --> 00:32:15
			they stayed away from them the same way.
		
00:32:17 --> 00:32:20
			The Prophet ﷺ is saying, if I tell
		
00:32:20 --> 00:32:24
			you to do something, don't find a loophole.
		
00:32:25 --> 00:32:26
			Do what I say.
		
00:32:28 --> 00:32:29
			And if I tell you to not do
		
00:32:29 --> 00:32:31
			something, then leave it.
		
00:32:32 --> 00:32:44
			Because your success, your happiness, your fulfillment, is
		
00:32:44 --> 00:32:45
			in doing what I say.
		
00:32:47 --> 00:32:50
			And if you think, if you really think
		
00:32:50 --> 00:32:55
			there is another way out there, then you
		
00:32:55 --> 00:32:56
			don't really follow me.
		
00:32:58 --> 00:32:59
			You don't really believe in me.
		
00:33:01 --> 00:33:03
			And you don't really believe in Allah.
		
00:33:07 --> 00:33:14
			The seventh and final emotional relation that we
		
00:33:14 --> 00:33:18
			should have to the Prophet ﷺ is yes,
		
00:33:18 --> 00:33:23
			he was a man who lived 1400 years
		
00:33:23 --> 00:33:23
			ago.
		
00:33:27 --> 00:33:29
			What does that mean for us?
		
00:33:32 --> 00:33:36
			The Prophet ﷺ said, I wish I could
		
00:33:36 --> 00:33:37
			see my brothers.
		
00:33:39 --> 00:33:41
			The companions said, Ya Rasulullah, are we not
		
00:33:41 --> 00:33:42
			your brothers?
		
00:33:43 --> 00:33:45
			The Prophet ﷺ said, No, no, you are
		
00:33:45 --> 00:33:45
			my companions.
		
00:33:47 --> 00:33:48
			My brothers.
		
00:33:49 --> 00:33:51
			My brothers are those who will come after
		
00:33:51 --> 00:33:52
			me.
		
00:33:54 --> 00:33:55
			They will not be able to say, Ya
		
00:33:55 --> 00:33:57
			Rasulullah, I want to see you.
		
00:33:58 --> 00:33:59
			Because I will not be there.
		
00:34:01 --> 00:34:03
			My brothers are those who will come after
		
00:34:03 --> 00:34:03
			me.
		
00:34:04 --> 00:34:06
			Who will believe in me and they would
		
00:34:06 --> 00:34:07
			have never seen.
		
00:34:11 --> 00:34:13
			That is faith, that is love.
		
00:34:15 --> 00:34:16
			That is commitment.
		
00:34:18 --> 00:34:20
			And the Prophet ﷺ the Prophet ﷺ remembered
		
00:34:20 --> 00:34:21
			us.
		
00:34:22 --> 00:34:23
			He made dua for us.
		
00:34:25 --> 00:34:26
			He deeply cared for us.
		
00:34:28 --> 00:34:30
			So how do we show our care and
		
00:34:30 --> 00:34:31
			concern for him?
		
00:34:34 --> 00:34:35
			By making dua.
		
00:34:37 --> 00:34:39
			By living to his method.
		
00:34:40 --> 00:34:43
			By following it, by learning it, by teaching
		
00:34:43 --> 00:34:45
			it, by living by it, by being true
		
00:34:45 --> 00:34:46
			to his message.
		
00:34:48 --> 00:34:51
			And the best way to do that is
		
00:34:51 --> 00:34:55
			to have your direct connection to him.
		
00:34:56 --> 00:34:59
			Today, we think, Oh, the Prophet ﷺ is
		
00:34:59 --> 00:34:59
			gone.
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:00
			That's not true.
		
00:35:01 --> 00:35:02
			He's not gone.
		
00:35:03 --> 00:35:04
			His message is with us.
		
00:35:05 --> 00:35:07
			And it's with us through a direct chain.
		
00:35:09 --> 00:35:12
			Usually, when we think of something, we say,
		
00:35:12 --> 00:35:13
			Oh, if I read it in a book,
		
00:35:14 --> 00:35:15
			then you know it's different.
		
00:35:15 --> 00:35:17
			But we don't have that.
		
00:35:17 --> 00:35:19
			Yes, we have books, but we have something
		
00:35:19 --> 00:35:20
			really special.
		
00:35:21 --> 00:35:22
			We have transmission.
		
00:35:22 --> 00:35:24
			We have a chain connecting us back to
		
00:35:24 --> 00:35:24
			him.
		
00:35:26 --> 00:35:28
			So it's like, you have literally somebody who
		
00:35:28 --> 00:35:31
			directly spoke to the Prophet ﷺ.
		
00:35:31 --> 00:35:34
			And then that person spoke to another person.
		
00:35:34 --> 00:35:39
			And you are learning this basically directly from
		
00:35:39 --> 00:35:41
			him because you got it from an authentic
		
00:35:41 --> 00:35:43
			source of transmission.
		
00:35:44 --> 00:35:47
			So we are connected by chains of transmission
		
00:35:47 --> 00:35:48
			of knowledge.
		
00:35:49 --> 00:35:51
			Our religion is not a dead religion.
		
00:35:52 --> 00:35:54
			Our religion is not a religion of just
		
00:35:54 --> 00:35:54
			books.
		
00:35:55 --> 00:35:58
			Our religion is a lived path, the path
		
00:35:58 --> 00:36:00
			that connects back to the Prophet ﷺ.
		
00:36:01 --> 00:36:06
			العلماء ورثة الأنبياء The Prophets are inheritors, are
		
00:36:06 --> 00:36:07
			the heirs.
		
00:36:09 --> 00:36:11
			The scholars are the heirs to the Prophets.
		
00:36:12 --> 00:36:13
			What does an heir do?
		
00:36:14 --> 00:36:15
			An heir inherits.
		
00:36:16 --> 00:36:19
			He inherits everything that is important.
		
00:36:20 --> 00:36:22
			And the scholars did that.
		
00:36:22 --> 00:36:25
			From the sahaba to the tabi'een from
		
00:36:25 --> 00:36:26
			the tabi'een to the tabi'ut tabi
		
00:36:26 --> 00:36:28
			'een from those successors and onwards.
		
00:36:29 --> 00:36:32
			And when you learn something about the Prophet
		
00:36:32 --> 00:36:35
			ﷺ, you are learning it as if you
		
00:36:35 --> 00:36:36
			are learning it from him.
		
00:36:37 --> 00:36:39
			It's almost as if you are learning it
		
00:36:39 --> 00:36:39
			from him.
		
00:36:42 --> 00:36:44
			And what's so beautiful about that is that
		
00:36:44 --> 00:36:47
			many of the scholars, they say that today
		
00:36:47 --> 00:36:49
			we have access to the Prophet ﷺ in
		
00:36:49 --> 00:36:51
			ways that many of the companions did not.
		
00:36:53 --> 00:36:53
			Why?
		
00:36:53 --> 00:36:54
			How is that possible?
		
00:36:56 --> 00:36:57
			Let's think about this a little bit and
		
00:36:57 --> 00:36:58
			let's end with this.
		
00:36:59 --> 00:37:00
			Think about this.
		
00:37:01 --> 00:37:06
			How is it possible that today somebody might
		
00:37:06 --> 00:37:10
			have more access to the Prophet ﷺ than
		
00:37:10 --> 00:37:11
			some of the companions?
		
00:37:16 --> 00:37:18
			Think about it before you raise your hand.
		
00:37:20 --> 00:37:23
			Thousands of hadiths, some of the sahabas they
		
00:37:23 --> 00:37:25
			didn't hear everything before maybe they died.
		
00:37:26 --> 00:37:27
			Allahu akbar.
		
00:37:28 --> 00:37:28
			Allahu akbar.
		
00:37:28 --> 00:37:29
			So beautiful.
		
00:37:29 --> 00:37:30
			Exactly.
		
00:37:30 --> 00:37:31
			Right on the spot.
		
00:37:33 --> 00:37:37
			There are hundreds of thousands of ahadith from
		
00:37:37 --> 00:37:40
			the private life of the Prophet ﷺ from
		
00:37:40 --> 00:37:44
			certain eras of his life that other companions
		
00:37:44 --> 00:37:44
			might have not had.
		
00:37:45 --> 00:37:46
			Might have not had access to.
		
00:37:47 --> 00:37:49
			So you can live with him in his
		
00:37:49 --> 00:37:50
			day to day.
		
00:37:51 --> 00:37:55
			Walk in his path by looking at his
		
00:37:55 --> 00:37:56
			entire day.
		
00:37:56 --> 00:37:57
			Looking at his entire life.
		
00:37:58 --> 00:38:01
			Looking at him as a father, as a
		
00:38:01 --> 00:38:07
			husband, as a leader, as a warrior, as
		
00:38:07 --> 00:38:12
			a prophet, as a worshipper, as a slave
		
00:38:12 --> 00:38:15
			of God, as a human.
		
00:38:17 --> 00:38:21
			You can do all of that by living
		
00:38:21 --> 00:38:25
			with him through the authentic tradition of the
		
00:38:25 --> 00:38:26
			Prophet ﷺ.
		
00:38:27 --> 00:38:29
			So these are the seven points of our
		
00:38:29 --> 00:38:33
			emotional awareness and relationship to him and we
		
00:38:33 --> 00:38:35
			will quickly repeat them inshallah.
		
00:38:35 --> 00:38:37
			Number one is to honor him.
		
00:38:37 --> 00:38:43
			Number two is to to know that he
		
00:38:43 --> 00:38:43
			loved us.
		
00:38:44 --> 00:38:46
			To know that he loved us.
		
00:38:46 --> 00:38:54
			Number three Number three Khalas we already did
		
00:38:54 --> 00:38:54
			love.
		
00:38:54 --> 00:38:56
			Number two was that he loved us.
		
00:38:56 --> 00:38:56
			Yes.
		
00:38:57 --> 00:39:06
			Number three Ha Number three was
		
00:39:06 --> 00:39:09
			to recognize our need of him.
		
00:39:09 --> 00:39:12
			Number three was to recognize our need of
		
00:39:12 --> 00:39:12
			him.
		
00:39:13 --> 00:39:16
			Number four was to have etiquette with him.
		
00:39:17 --> 00:39:19
			Was to have etiquette with him.
		
00:39:19 --> 00:39:21
			Number five is to celebrate him.
		
00:39:22 --> 00:39:23
			To celebrate him.
		
00:39:23 --> 00:39:27
			Number six is to submit to him.
		
00:39:28 --> 00:39:31
			And number seven is to be connected to
		
00:39:31 --> 00:39:33
			him through the chain of knowledge.
		
00:39:34 --> 00:39:37
			And so we ask Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:39:37 --> 00:39:41
			'ala to allow us to be those who
		
00:39:41 --> 00:39:41
			love him.
		
00:39:42 --> 00:39:44
			Not only love him in words but truly
		
00:39:44 --> 00:39:45
			love him in our actions.
		
00:39:46 --> 00:39:49
			Love him in a way that allows us
		
00:39:49 --> 00:39:51
			to be with him in Jannah.
		
00:39:51 --> 00:39:52
			May Allah Azza wa Jalla make us from
		
00:39:52 --> 00:39:56
			those who drink from his fountain on the
		
00:39:56 --> 00:39:57
			day of judgment.
		
00:39:58 --> 00:39:59
			May Allah Azza wa Jalla make us from
		
00:39:59 --> 00:40:03
			those who when the Prophet ﷺ sees us
		
00:40:03 --> 00:40:06
			on the day of judgment he can recognize
		
00:40:06 --> 00:40:07
			us as his ummati.
		
00:40:08 --> 00:40:10
			As one from his ummah.
		
00:40:11 --> 00:40:12
			May Allah allow us to live a life
		
00:40:12 --> 00:40:13
			that is truthful to his path.
		
00:40:15 --> 00:40:18
			Truthful in a way that allows his intercession
		
00:40:18 --> 00:40:20
			to be of benefit to us.
		
00:40:21 --> 00:40:23
			May Allah allow the intercession of the Prophet
		
00:40:23 --> 00:40:26
			ﷺ to be granted to us so that
		
00:40:26 --> 00:40:28
			we may enter Jannah without going to Jahannam.
		
00:40:29 --> 00:40:31
			May Allah allow us to be close to
		
00:40:31 --> 00:40:32
			him in Jannah.
		
00:40:33 --> 00:40:34
			May Allah allow us to be able to
		
00:40:34 --> 00:40:35
			see him in Jannah.
		
00:40:36 --> 00:40:37
			May Allah allow us to be able to
		
00:40:37 --> 00:40:39
			see your beautiful face in Jannah.
		
00:40:40 --> 00:40:42
			May Allah allow us to be able to
		
00:40:42 --> 00:40:44
			talk to the Prophet ﷺ.
		
00:40:45 --> 00:40:47
			To have conversations with him.
		
00:40:47 --> 00:40:49
			To tell him about our lives so that
		
00:40:49 --> 00:40:50
			he could listen to us in Jannah.
		
00:40:51 --> 00:40:53
			May Allah allow our salawat on this blessed
		
00:40:53 --> 00:40:56
			day to reach the Prophet ﷺ and so
		
00:40:56 --> 00:40:59
			that he may see our salawat on this
		
00:40:59 --> 00:41:00
			day.
		
00:41:00 --> 00:41:02
			Ya Allah, accept our salawat.
		
00:41:02 --> 00:41:04
			Ya Allah, forgive us for our sins.
		
00:41:04 --> 00:41:06
			Have mercy upon us.
		
00:41:06 --> 00:41:09
			Forgive us, our parents, our children, our mashayikh,
		
00:41:09 --> 00:41:11
			and everybody who has a right over us
		
00:41:11 --> 00:41:13
			and all that we have a right over
		
00:41:13 --> 00:41:13
			them.
		
00:41:14 --> 00:41:14
			Ameen.
		
00:41:14 --> 00:41:15
			Ya Rabb al-alameen.
		
00:41:16 --> 00:41:17
			Wa sallallahu alayhi wa sallam a'la Muhammad
		
00:41:17 --> 00:41:20
			wa a'la alihi wa sahbihi ajma'in.
