Omar Suleiman – Meeting Muhammad PBUH #07 – Celebrating With Him

			celebrations are meant to be simple and expansive and spalla. Nowadays, we actually see the opposite
of that where celebrations are extravagant and exclusive. And that's the opposite of how the Prophet
sallallahu Sallam celebrations work in his lifetime.
		

			So we went through what it was like to see the messenger sallallahu wasallam in times of hardship,
literally in the trenches and battle serving alongside the people. And we talked about what it was
like to see the Prophet, slice them and pray behind him in the month of Ramadan. Now I want to talk
a bit about the feasts of the Prophet slice on the celebrations of the Prophet sallallahu Sallam and
let's start with eat but let's not get to eat yet let's stay in Ramadan mode, inshallah Tada, but
let's start with eat. And some lessons we can glean of the Prophet sallallahu Sallam and how he sets
the community feel in the time of eight first and foremost, when the Prophet slicin would come out
		

			on the day he he wore this red striped cloak it his Salatu was salam, a beautiful suit from Yemen.
And you looked at him Solaris 11 he was so beautiful as he came out to speak to the people and the
prophets lie Selim would say everyone come out to their eat Salah he would bring them out to their
eating masala, all of the men, all of the women of the children of the elderly everyone come out to
their eat salon, and the profit slice on would make it a point to greet everyone individually. And
he would even give his hope but differently on the day of eat Salah hearty Islam, he would be closer
to the people when he gave the hope. But on the day of aitsl Allah are using them walking around to
		

			his companions, reminding them of Allah subhana wa tada a lot of times we think of aid as a date of
overflow as a day of heedlessness rather than a day of celebrating the worship of Allah subhanho wa
Taala. And the profit slice and him said three times at the end of his eighth hotbar to South
Dakota, South Dakota, South Dakota, give, give, give, give and charity giving charity giving
charity. So your aid is actually supposed to be a day of charity and the time of the profit slice in
them as well reminding everyone that it's not like you go through this exercise of gratitude, just
to become ungrateful on this day, but include everyone make sure that you're giving on this date as
		

			well, so that everyone has eight. That's why you have the capsule filter in the filter, right? That
everyone is able to eat and feast on that day, not just those that can afford to do so. And of
course, that is where the sacrifices made. So once again, everyone is able to eat and they're able.
So the prophets lie some reminds people of Allah subhanho wa Taala. He reminds the people to be
generous, he reminds the people to be open. And of course, he allows the people sallallahu alayhi
wasallam to celebrate that day. And sometimes it was hard to know the boundaries around the profit
slice in that regard until he set them at his salon was set up. So there's this narration that the
		

			Prophet slicin was there. And there were these two girls that were singing these old songs from the
black wars, and above Beckett or the Allahu tada and who he reprimanded those two young girls to
stop singing in the profit slice, I'm sad to leave them he said that every people has their eat
every people have a date of feasting, and this is our day of celebration, so let them sing It's
okay. And of course there was nothing objectionable in what they were saying on that day, he settled
the Allahu taala and how she describes the day or eat with the profit slice of them in a very
special way. So he says that the profit slice on was laying down and when I will Beckett will the
		

			alongside I knew I had gone away. I asked the Prophet sallallahu it was something if we could go and
we could watch the abyssinians that we're doing some of their he dances or their celebrations in the
masjid with their shields and with their spears. They had their special war dances and their dances
of celebration, of course with modesty nothing had on within them. And they particularly were doing
so in the masjid at the time of aid. So I saw the alarm on her said can we go and watch them so she
says that the prophets I send them said let's go and watch them. And he sat in front of me
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and I put my head on his shoulder so I put my chin on his shoulder
		

			behind him sallallahu wasallam and my cheek was touching his cheek sallallahu wasallam and we were
watching the abyssinians doing their dances and the profit slice of them said carry on and he
allowed them to go and to go and to go and it shall be allowed on her sitting behind the profit
slice I'm leaning her chin on his shoulder with her cheek to his cheek watching and the profit slice
and I'm says how spooky Have you had enough she said no keep on going and she wanted to see if the
profit slice and would be patient with her and let her continue to enjoy the celebration. So some
time went on and she was starting to get tired the profit slice and I said Is this enough yet? And
		

			she said no the profits items that okay. And then finally she told the profit slice alum. Now I've
had enough so the Prophet slicin takes her home after witnessing the celebration of her eat and of
course that was a form of him approving that celebration Salallahu it he was selling. Now we also
know that too. There eats a lot
		

			The profit slice and I'm used to go one route and then he would come back another route. And there
are usually individual test gear reasons that we talk about in terms of spiritually taking a new
path at this point in your life. Well, one of the things that they're not mentioned, they say that
the profit slice alum used to do that and some of the wisdoms of that include going those two paths
so that the Prophet slicin could give Salaam to everyone at a time. So if you lived on this path,
the prophet slice m could say Salaam to you. And if you lived on this path, the prophet slice them
could say Salaam to you. They also say that the Prophet slicin could encounter all of those that had
		

			needs on that day Salallahu it he was alone, because the day of read was a day of Sonata for the
Prophet sallallahu sallam, it was another day of generosity for the Prophet slicin them. So he goes
forth and he greets everyone at his latos salon, he serves the people sallallahu wasallam he
celebrates with the people sallallahu wasallam. And you could see him in all places of Medina on the
day of read sallallahu alayhi wasallam What about the weddings, the prophets I seldom used to
encourage the people to feast but the feasts again are not extravagant. Sometimes it was bread and
meat sometimes it was just bread sometimes it was just some dates some milk and some ghee which is
		

			clarified butter. Sometimes it was haste which is a particular favorite of the prophets license
where you mix you know the milk Can you mix the the clarified butter, and you mix some of the date
paste, and sometimes it was just barley and the profit slice on them would eat whatever was there
and he would celebrate with the people sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and you even find that the
Prophet slicin A made some of the feasts potluck style, so everyone bring what you have. And guess
what that was his wedding with Sophia or the Allahu taala. And just everyone bring whatever food you
have and Let's eat together. And they spread these black leather knots and the people sat together
		

			and they ate the food that was brought from all of the different parts of El Medina and the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said and listen very, very, very carefully. He said the worst feast is
the one to which only the rich are invited and the poor are excluded. That's the worst feast that
you can have. So if you want Baraka in your feast, Baraka on your occasion, don't exclude the poor,
don't exclude people and make it extravagant and small. Remember, simple inexpensive, is the way of
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and he would attend all of the weddings to Lahore It was
said that he could not just a special group of people, and when someone poor was getting married,
		

			the Prophet slicin would encourage everyone to pitch in with the expenses and he himself Salalah
Hardy was selling would help finance the mahatmas of people help finance the the dowries of people
help finance their weddings, and with ideal the alongside marrying his own daughter follow the model
the Aloha, we see that everyone in the household of the Prophet slice alum participated in that
wedding, people prepared all that they could prepare the food is prepared from different directions
and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam himself furnish the house of it all the Allahu tada and
so when the Prophet sallallahu wasallam was there and celebrations the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
		

			sallam did not just bring his own spirit of Baraka. He was changing paradigm sallallahu wasallam to
where celebrations were meant to be community celebrations, and no one was going to be left out of
celebration in the community of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam
