Have been a man on earth who is
followed in all his doings by his nation.
People who sleep in the man he slept
in, purify themselves in the man in the
man he did, and here just practicing the
way they eat, drink, and clothe themselves.
And all aspects of their lives trying to
follow
these basic
footsteps.
And to follow him in
every aspect such as
how he greeted people, entering, leaving the house,
entering, leaving the masjid,
sleeping and awaking from sleep, observing the moon,
observing new food on trees, eating, drinking, dressing,
riding, traveling,
returning from travel. All these things are covered
as well as all the other aspects of
worship, prayer, fasting, pilgrimage, charity,
all these issues.
And remember that the leading people of the
religions who met him, when they questioned him,
he answered them.
And they choose they chose to follow him
after they witnessed the signs of his truthfulness
and the evidence of his miracles,
and they did not do it after compulsion.
And
this is
also
the fact that
if the Quran did come from him,
then why is it that it mentions
corrections of him?
Why does the Quran correct him? And not
just on not on big things, but on
the things that we would consider very small.
That
that that how would a man correct himself
on something that nobody would have cared about?
The fact that the prophet
when he was when he was addressing
a group from the Quraysh,
the dignitaries from Quraysh,
that a blind man came up to him.
Obviously, he doesn't know what's going on. He
runs to him and he was asked him
a question. The prophet just frowns at him,
and he's a blind man. So he didn't
even notice that the prophet was
slightly annoyed by this.
Why would the Quran
correct him
on something that nobody really even care about?
None of the none of the the people
who were with the prophet objected to this.
And then and then mention a good 8
to 9 verses.
Mention this. Why would why would it do
that?
So, again, this shows that he is not
an impostor or charlatan
because he there was no motivation.
All the motivations are finished.
You can eliminate them 1 by 1 to
the point you can only conclude
that he is
a great he is a truthful, trusted messenger.
And this is why
And your companion is not mad.
Why does Allah not say Muhammad
is not mad, or the prophet is not
mad? He says
meaning your companion, meaning that you, Quresh, have
known him for 40, 50 years. You would
know if he was mad.
Isn't that right? Isn't it that even the
people that you've known in this in the
Islamic society for 3 years, you know if
they were mad.
I'm sure there's some crazy buzzers. You would
know if you were properly mad. Right? You
would know if they were mad.
Say imagine somebody who's called who is the
who's the kind of person that people leave
their belongings with for many years, and they
call it masala tal ameen. They call him
that by their own tongues.
That's why
Allah mentions this. You are you know this
man and you then throw these basis accusations
towards him. And witchcraft?
Come on. We know what the sign of
witchcraft are. You'd be doing crazy irrational things.
You will become you will be having the
best of manners. You'll be coming with profound
messages.
Would you?
And when you say this to atheists, how
about atheists, they have no answer to this?
Because they know that there is no answer
to this,
except
the fact that he there is,
God and that he did send a truthful
messenger down. This is amazing proofs about the
prophecy. They're very simple. They're not very complicated
proofs, are they? They're they're very simple. It's
just basic logic. They can speak to a
nuclear physicist
or just,
or just your local news agents about.
Very
simple. Plus the fact that he suffered.
Suffered. He was the golden boy of Quraysh.
The one that they love. The one that
they cherish. The one that they got involved
in everything, the one that that his his
grandfather was so proud of.
That's why it was such a shock to
him that that his people didn't accept him.
Such a shock to him
because
he he because they
saw him as
as as somebody who was
one of their own,
somebody they should consult, somebody they are honored.
And that's why when he suffered what he
suffered,
they're not even stoned and died by a
bunch of children. They couldn't even be bothered
to come out themselves.
They had to send their children to do
it,
and he's bleeding. And he's saying
that that as long as you're not angry
with me, Allah
then I
do not care what they do.
And this is not the sign of a
charlatan or crazy person or some who's bewitched
at all.
So
it is impossible that any human mind or
any is going to come up with something
which
describes Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala's knowledge such as
the ability and the knowledge and the greatness
of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, which is transmitted
through the Quran.
And it's not in the ability of any
human being
to place a perfect law based upon justice,
equality, mercy, mercy and objectivity
for all human activity, human activity on Earth,
like the laws that the Prophet Muhammad SAW
was born.
For all spheres of human activity like buying,
selling, marriage, divorce, etcetera. And remember, this was
implemented from the West to the East,
from
Spain to China.
How can a book or any constitution or
any ideology rule such a vast range of
people? Even communism couldn't do that.
Communism tried. They had to have different flavors
and even in the end, it only last
it didn't last a 100 years.
So this in itself is also a sign
of
the mirror of the miracle of the message
and the miracle of the messengers.
And,
really,
one has to
accept
and if you discuss with any non Muslims
that
whoever denies this, it is very easy to
understand why they will be punished in *
if they die of combat
because to deny this
is really
sort of asking for it.
To deny this
and to
be stubborn about this and to belies this,
then you're preparing your seat in the hellfire.
And
as we know, the justice of Allah
is so sublime
that even the people who will be punished
in * forever will acknowledge Allah's justice
because they will witness against themselves, won't they,
on the day of judgement? Yeah. Every part
of their body will witness everything against them.
So they
therefore,
that is a sorrow that they will face.
They will not be able to drink from
the noble hand of the prophet
at his pool,
neither will the innovators.
Neither will the innovators. The innovators are those
people who
try to distort the deen of Islam after
the prophet
passed away.
So it's a warning for those people who
call themselves Muslims
about the innovation that they commit.
And as the angels usher them off, he
saw them, they're mine. They're mine. They're mine.
They're mine. These are the people who are
who are my companions in the hereafter, meaning
the Muslims.
You see, and then angels say, you do
not know what they invented after
you after you passed away.
You you will you do not know what
they did.
And this is a big crime in Islam
to distort the people in Islam.
Off it obviously makes sense. How do we
think the other religions came about? They started
by distortions. Right? People distorted the message because
if something is perfect,
taking away or adding to it makes it
not perfect. Right?
So this is what happened with all the
other religions and all the other messages rather
because the religion of Allah is 1.
Allah is God is not the author of
confusion. He said one consistent message. That's why
the Quran
rhythmically
mentions when it talks about what the prophet
said,
whether they were sha'aib or Hud or all
the other prophets,
they say,
your Lord is 1. Worship him. We do
not ask you of any reward,
monetary reward for this because it's the capture
of the messenger.
There's nothing in it for him. There's no
other motivation except to preach the truth,
and a lot of them suffered because of
that.
So, brother, I mean, it it this is
something really to take quite seriously that we
have this responsibility.
We need to really carry this message and
embody it.
