In Episode #10 respected Imam Omar Suleiman teaches us what to do when we are faced with insults against the prophet s.a.w.
To defend the prophet s.a.w. is one of the most beautiful acts. Jibri’il a.s. once asked the prophet s.a.w. about the position of the sahabahs who fought in the battle of Badr. Prophet said they are the best of us. Jibr’il a.s. responded the angels who fought in the battle of Badr are also the best of us.
Can you then imagine the reward of a person who defends the prophet s.a.w. intelligently and intellectually? The answer lies within this brief talk of our beloved Imam.
The speaker discusses the importance of defending the Prophet's image in a way that is not offhanded by others. They suggest that protecting the image is a reward for those who have been insulted and that it is important to not
the image in a way that is offhanded. They also mention the history of the Prophet's image being used to
the image of the god's image and the god's image being used to
the image of the god's image and the god's image being used to
the image of the god's image and the god's image being used to the god's image and the god's image being used to the god's image and the god's image being used to the god's image and the god's image being used to the god's image and the god's image being used to the god's image and the god's image being used to the god's image and the god's image being used to the god's image and the god

No person who loves a lot in the messenger sallallahu wasallam can be completely unaffected by the
insults towards the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam by the way that the prophets ISIS has been
drawn, ridiculed, portrayed, particularly in the western image to look like what the Muslim men is
being molded to be barbaric, angry, regressive violence. And so the idea is that our Prophet Alayhi,
salaatu wa Salaam is this way, and therefore all Muslims are like that, especially the Muslim men.
And the way we're going to prove it is by insulting the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and
causing people to come out with their emotion to respond in a way that allows them to submit to the
00:00:47 -->
00:00:50
very image that they've cast on the Prophet sallallahu it was.
00:00:55 -->
00:01:32
And so you find yourself in this predicament as someone who loves a little less aloha Islam, who
loves the messenger slice on them, that when he's being insulted, your raw emotion tells you to
respond in a certain way. But at the same time, you want to defend the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wasallam while being like the prophets lie Selim and defending him, right, you don't want to defend
him in a way to where you might make the substantive arguments that are needed to be made to cast
away those suspicions, or those those aspersions that have been cast upon him Salallahu Islam, but
you also don't want to give them the image because that's what they're trying to do is portray him
00:01:32 -->
00:02:11
in a certain way. Now, I want you to think about this with the previous Hadeeth. If defending your
brother in his absence, is that rewardable? What then is the reward of defending the profit slice
element, his absence, right? What good is it then when a person defends the Prophet, slice alum and
does something that would actually cause him to be further insult? So we have to think about this in
a holistic way. Number one, to defend the prophets lie Selim is of the most beautiful acts of
worship, and one that the angels cling towards. And that's why the angels of bed that are so
special, because they were with those special companions that defended the Prophet slice them
00:02:11 -->
00:02:48
physically, when no one else would. And Jabra has said I'm asked the Prophet, slice Allah, how do
you view the veterans of bed that amongst you, meaning human beings and the prophets license that
they're the best of us, and God in it, his salon responded, that the melodica the angels who served
on that day of bed that are also considered the best of us, meaning you have the veterans have
benefited from the Sahaba, from the companions, the human companions, and the veterans of bed that
from the angels that served Allah and His Messenger slice on that protected him in the midst of all
of the turmoil when very few people would you also have someone who defended the honor of the
00:02:48 -->
00:03:23
Prophet sly sound like Hassan and the Sabbath or the Allahu taala. And, and his side of the Sabbath
was a poet, and he was sent by the enemies of the Prophet slice of them to insult him to lampoon him
and instead when he saw the Prophet slice alone, he could say nothing but words of beauty about his
appearance and his character and who he was and he ended up becoming a Muslim and responding to the
enemies of the prophets. I saw them on his behalf and Hassan was so talented that they built a men
but they built a pulpit for him in the message of the prophets lie some that he would stand up and
he would respond on behalf of the profit slice and um, since the profit slice on would not respond
00:03:23 -->
00:04:02
on his own behalf to insult and when he would do that the profit slice on looked at him in a certain
way, and on more than one occasion, the prophets lie Selim said that gibreel at his salon is with
his son, not any Angel. gibreel is with Hassan, so long as he defends the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam, he would even tell him Oh, God, mushrikeen fitna, jabril, amok, go ahead and lampoon them
because jabril is with you respond to them. gibreel is with you. Some of the scholars connected that
to the verse insert that hashtag where a lot talks about the believers who love the Prophet slicin
more than themselves, what other way other home bureau had been, and Allah subhanaw taala supports
00:04:02 -->
00:04:42
them with a spirit from him. The majority of the scholar said roshen Minh refers to the spirit of
the power of Allah subhana wa nobrow *, kudos being Jubilee, rally Islam, the Holy Spirit, but
some of the scholars said that it could possibly mean that as well that when a person defends the
prophets lie Selim, not just any Angel would come and support them, but maybe to bleed it his Salaam
as well because that's what caused gibreel to come in the life of Hassan of metabones, or the Allahu
taala. And so again, if defending your brother, in his absence, with his honor, causes an angel to
defend you and protect you. What then, does that mean when we defend the Prophet salallahu alayhi
00:04:42 -->
00:05:00
wasallam intelligently, intellectually, emotionally without becoming who they want us to become, and
demonstrating in the process of defending the Prophet slice alum, the character of the Prophet slice
of them even in that defense so that we don't submit to that horrific image that they've painted of
himself.
