Kabbas Mustafa gives you hope that
when Sheikh Salah is
not here,
someone else will take over.
The community is is ready, and it has
a lot of potential.
Right? So,
he's also part of our Hafaz club. Hafaz
club is basically a mentorship program that we
started
for the young Hafaz
and those who are, soon to be Hafaz
Insha'Allah.
We give them a chance to,
you know, to give Khattara, teach them public
speaking and all of this. Alhamdulillah, Baralamin.
It's a it's an initiative that was started
and Insha'Allah is going to grow. Until now,
we have about 40, Masha'Allah,
club members. Alhamdulillah.
We're closing the registration. We said we're gonna
take care of those, and then everyone else
is gonna be at the waitlist,
until we see insha'Allah.
So,
registration, I believe, is still open. If you
have someone who memorized, let's say, 10 Jews
and more, inshallah, you can enroll them inshallah.
I mean, if especially if they are, of
course, from 10 and up.
My dear brothers and sisters,
around 2005,
I was still a student at Al Azar
University in Egypt
and then when a very,
well known famous
incident happened around the world,
which is basically the cartoon
remember the cartoon issue that happened in Denmark?
It was around
2,040,
4 or 2,005.
A cartoonist
drew some inappropriate,
you know, pictures and cartoons about rasulullah sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam. I think majority of the
brothers,
you know, probably they remember this time, And
during that time, brothers and sisters, all students
across the world, not just in Egypt, alright,
and Muslims around the world, they started, you
know, taking to street and started protesting
and of course we disagreed with the violence
and all of these things, but
the western world and those who were not
Muslims, they were very surprised
and some of them actually,
you know, were asking at that time. I
met some of them, some Muslim non Muslim
friends in Egypt at that time and they
said, what is so special about that man
that the whole world is so frustrated?
It's just cartoons,
man. Right? Because you know like watch You
remember what happened just a few weeks ago
in the Olympics where they're making fun of
prophets and messengers of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala?
Alright. But for us it's not the same.
This is not acceptable for us because we
value rasoolallahu alaihi wa sallam and we value
all the messengers and the prophets. Right? So
during that time there was one ayah that
we recited
but we never really understood what it means
until last year, 2,000 and,
23.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says in Surat al
Hajr
Surely will be sufficient for you against the
mockers.
It's an ayah in swat al hajr at
the end of swat al hajr. So what
does it mean that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
says we will surely be sufficient for you
against the Maqrs? That we're not going to
let them go, you know, with their action
and with their amal.
They're gonna pay the price.
2023
something happened. The cartoonist, the Danish cartoonist, he
passed away in in in a very ajib
way and he was at home for for
months,
right? In a very hajib way. And the
swedish cartoonist also, he died in a very
terrible car accident, right? And on top of
that, the third person was Macron, you know,
the the French president, and we saw people
someone slapping him on the face in front
of everybody else.
SubhanAllah. That's exactly the meaning of the ayah.
Listen. They're not going to get away with
their actions
or whatever they say about rasulullah sallallahu alaihi
wasallam. But back to the same question brothers
and sisters. What is so special about that
man? About Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam? And
why do Muslims love him so much?
Right? Wallahi, I have seen people who perhaps
never been to a masjid Not never been
to a masjid. They're not regular in the
masjid. They don't pray. They don't do anything.
But they were so angry and frustrated. And
when you ask them why? You say because
Rasoolullah sallallahu alaihi wasallam?
Frustrated. And when you asked them why, they
said because rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. There
is something about that man that capture our
heart
and our emotions and our feelings, sallallahu alaihi
wa sallam. So what is the secret and
where is this love coming from and why
do we love Rasulullah
so much, brothers and sisters?
Brothers and sisters, the next few minutes I'll
talk to you about that man, Muhammad sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam,
who has
more than 2,000,000,000 followers yet no single social
media platform.
No Facebook, no TikTok, no Instagram,
but he has more than 2,000,000,000, around a
little bit more, more than 2,000,000,000 followers that
they love him so much.
Where is this hope coming from,
and why should we love Rasool Allah sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam?
We love Rasool Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
because Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala loves him so
much.
Because he was very special to Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala.
Because Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala praised the prophet
salallahu alaihi wa sallam in every single aspect
of his life.
That the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam honored
and praised rasulallahu alaihi wa sallam in his
mind and he said in intelligence, intellectuality
he says Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala swears and
he says you are not insane. They used
to call Muhammad salallahu alayhi wa sallam majnoon.
He's insane.
Right?
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala honored and praised rasulullah
sallallahu alaihi wa sallam in his in his
truthfulness
and he says
and he does not speak from his own
accord.
Whatever
it is a revelation from Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala honored and praised
Rasulullah salaam in his heart.
The heart of Rasulullah salaam said
His heart did not doubt what he saw.
And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
honor the new priest of Rasulullah salaam in
general.
Indeed
you are one of a great manners.
Sallallahu alaihi wa sallallahu alaihi wa sallallahu alaihi
wa sallallahu alaihi wa sallallahu alaihi wa sallallahu
alaihi wa sallallahu alaihi wa sallallahu alaihi wa
sallallahu alaihi wa sallallahu alaihi wa sallallahu alaihi
wa sallallahu alaihi wa sallallahu alaihi wa sallallahu
alaihi wa sallallahu al
ikhira as well. Sallallahu alaihi
wa
sallam.
Allah
swears by the life of Rasulullah salallahu alaihi
wa sallam and this is this is very
unique. Allah
swerved by the life of any other messenger
of the prophet. He says in Quran,
Surat al Hajjra,
I swear by your life, you Muhammad.
Sallallahu 'alaam.
Musa alayhi salaam.
He asked Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
and he said,
Oh Allah. He asked Allah. He said, you
Allah open for me my chest.
And make my affairs and my matters easy.
Whereas Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says to Rasulullah
salallahu alayhi wa sallam without even asking.
I mentioned that before, but just for the
reminder,
every single prophet, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, called
in Quran by their names except Rasool Allah
sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. Right? Yeah Musa.
Yeah Zakariya.
And when he mentioned the name of Rasool
Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, he said, Muhammad
Surassool
Allahu
alaihi wa
sallam.
Look at that.
Where is this hope becoming? It was coming
from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. Why the whole
ummah? They did not accept. They did not
accept that someone makes fun of rasulullah salallahu
alaihi wasallam and they will never tolerate that.
It's not acceptable.
It's not acceptable. This man, we sacrificed our
life for him sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
So where is this hope coming from and
why we love Rasool Allah sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam?
Rasoolallah salallahu alaihi wa sallam cared for you.
Whenever he heard that someone passed away without
accepting Islam, Rasoolallah salallahu alaihi wa sallam feels
so disappointed and so sad. How come I
was not able to save a soul from
from jahannamu alaihi wa
sallam cares for you and he wanted to
make sure that you are in jannah and
you do the right thing. Rasulullah salallahu alaihi
wa sallam came and through the whole entire
world to change the whole entire world.
Rasulullah salallahu alaihi wa sallam before he passed
away brothers and sisters,
he says
He said, I wish
I'm alive
and I would be able to see my
brothers.
So the companions look at him and he
said,
wait a minute. Aren't you aren't you your
brothers, Sayyid Rasool Allah?
He said, no.
You are my
companions.
Then who are you?
Those who will come after me.
Those who will believe in me sallallahu alaihi
wa sallam,
but I won't see them.
Even Rasool Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam misses
you and I, he misses you and I.
Even without meeting you, He still loves you.
He cares for you sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
And he kept one dawah.
He kept one dawah
for you. There is no single prophet or
messenger,
except that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala has given
him dua in duniya, very unique and very
special dua. It's for you. It's exclusive for
you.
Right?
All the messengers and the prophets, they used
the credit in duniya. Look, Nuh alayhi salam.
Nuhalaihi salam, what did he say? Allah has
given him dua and he said
You allam fed fed up with these people,
you allah, take care of them.
That's nooh alaihis salam. And then you have
Dawood alaihis salam, suleiman alaihis salam.
He aimed high but he used the credit
in dunya. He said, you Allah forgive
me but
grant for me or grant me a kingdom
that no one on the face of earth
will have such a kingdom.
Right? Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
we've given him the power with the wind
with the wind.
Right?
Brothers and sisters, you see all of this
fadl and the privilege of the prophets and
messengers to have, but rasulullah salallahu alayhi wasalam,
he kept his dawah,
The one dua
that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has given him,
he kept it for his ummah in the
day of judgment.
So when we are
falling short in hasanat in the day of
judgment, rasulullah salallahu alaihi wa sallam will come
and will say, you Allah,
I need to use my dawah.
Allahu Akbar, sallallahu alaihi
wasallam.
Why do we love Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wa
Salam? Because if you love Rasulullah salallahu alaihi
wa sallam, the one who left the legacy
of light for us, sallallahu alaihi wa sallam,
we love him because if you love him,
truly love him, and teach your children the
love and of Rasulullah salallahu alaihi wa sallam
and following the sunnah of Rasool Allah sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam because when you love the
prophet, it's not just saying I love Rasool
Allah and make salallahu alaihi wa sallam, by
following Rasool Allah sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam. If you truly love Allah then follow
me, Allah will love you back.
Right? So
by following Rasulullah
We love Rasulullah
because if you love him, you'll be with
him inshallah in the new judgment.
One of the companions by the name of
Thawba
Thawbaan, he comes to Rasulullah
and Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam looks at
his face and he knew them. You know
there was something. He knew every he knew
when they're happy. He knew when they're sad.
He knew everything about them. His companions were
very special to him, salallahu alaihi wa sallam.
So he sees thaw thawban and he seems
to be disturbed a little bit. You thawban,
what is going on? He said, You Rasoolallah,
Allah knows Allah is my witness that I
love you so much more than myself. But
you know you Rasool Allah
every single time I think that on the
day of judgment you'll be on a different
level in Jannah than mine, I cry Rasool
Allah and you feel sad.
Then Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala reveals
Didn't didn't hear you hear the the call
of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala that if
you love follow and love and obey the
messenger
follow Allah and messenger, you will be with
the prophets and message in the new judgment
in judgment. Because of your love, you'll get
you're going to be with me in the
new judgment.
So So if you love Rasulullah and you
obey Rasulullah salallahu alaihi wa sallam, you'll be
with Rasulullah salallahu alaihi wa sallam in Jannah.
May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala you notice in
the Jannah of Rasulullah salallahu alaihi wa sallam.
You see the menu of salawat was sent
there right now? You will see the word
in the day of judgment. You will see
the shafa'at, the intercession of rasulullah sallallahu alaihi
wa sallam that is keeping keeping for you
and I because we will need it desperately
need it in the judgement.
Rav Rasulullah salawahu alaihi wa sallam teach your
children
about rasulullah salallahu alaihi wa sallam, about the
seer of the rasulullah salallahu alaihi wa sallam.
Teach the whole world why we love rasulullah
salallahu alaihi wa sallam. Why was the whole
the whole umma did not agree and did
not accept what happened back in 2005?
It's a long time ago, but I still
remember this very, very well.
Brothers and sisters,
