When we hear about
his birth,
we
might find
some people defending him
or some people
just rejecting,
celebrating his birth.
We will not
go through all these
hustles.
Just I have
on point, I would like to clarify today
for all of us
as believers,
as followers
of prophet Muhammad
to feel
proud of yourself
that you are member
of
Muhammad's
nations.
That you are the one that
Allah,
you choose for him
his religion. Indeed, the correct religion in the
sight of Allah is
Islam.
Islam. When we look
at the time before prophet Muhammad,
this is out of justice from Allah
that he sent
for
every single
village
or city,
a prophet and a messenger.
Because Allah mentioned
that all the villages and the cities
that Allah sent
to them,
prophets and the messengers.
But
all the previous messengers and the prophets,
they have only
a certain time
for a certain place.
Their message only will be valid only for
his own people.
Like prophet Ibrahim,
prophet Ishmael, prophet Isaac, prophet Moses, prophet Jesus,
all of them.
Some of them we talked to you through
revelation,
and a lot of them we did not
tell anyone about their names.
But the idea
is, all the prophets and the messengers before
prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam,
they wear as stars
in the sky.
And the stars,
a lot of people they can be guided
by the stars during the night. Like Allah
mentioned in the Quran,
by star,
they will be guided by the stars during
the night.
When we
have darkness
during the night, it will be easy for
everybody to recognize the stars
on the sky.
And this is what happened for all the
previous messengers and the prophets
before our beloved prophet Muhammad
out of Allah's mercy
to send for every single community
a messenger and a prophet.
And they were as stars.
But when
Allah decided
to send the prophet Muhammad he
wasn't a star,
but he was a son.
And this is the reason
Amir al Shoa'a,
he described him, peace be upon him.
He he and he says,
There is no way to compare between his
book and the previous books before him.
And there is no way to compare between
the light of
lantern
or the candle
with the light of the day.
When we have the light of the day,
no need for the light of the candle
or the light
of lantern
anymore.
And this is what happened
when Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala choose our beloved
prophet Muhammad
to
be last final messenger of Allah.
And it was easy for Allah to send
for every single village
a messenger
until the day of judgement.
This is what Allah says. If we want,
we can send for
every single village
a warner or a messenger until the day
of judgement.
But no need for that.
You know why? Because
the revelation that Allah revealed to our beloved
prophet
Muhammad has everything in it.
There is no need for any
new prophets or new messengers
until the day of judgment.
And the message that Allah sent
for
mankind. There is no need
for any other renew
think that Allah did not mention in this
message, which is the Quran.
That Allah mentioned everything in the Quran.
And Allah protected Quran for us.
No one is able to change
a sentence or a word or a a
a letter, even a vowel of the letter.
The Quran has been revealed to prophet Muhammad
more than 1400
years. And there is no one
from the enemies of Islam
claim that he found a mistake
in the Quran
because this is the
eternal
miracle that Allah
made for our beloved prophet Muhammad
My point is
just to
make clear for all of us,
when we look at the Quran, we have
2
different times
of revelation.
The time that was revealed in Mecca time
and the other time was revealed in Medina
time.
The amazing thing when we look at
all the verses
and the chapters was revealed in Mecca
time was talking about
the international
Islamic call.
How come?
Most of the companions
were abused
and
punished.
And even they cannot worship Allah
with the easy situation in that time.
But the Quran was revealed to them
and to prophet Muhammad
to give them glad tidings
in future,
to give them that
the religion that Allah
choose for mankind
will not stay in Mecca,
will not stay in our peninsula,
but
will go everywhere
to reaches
the 5 continents.
And this is what happened exactly.
You can see Islam everywhere today.
Why?
Because from the first moment
of the message that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
sent down to mankind
and to followers of our beloved prophet Muhammad
sallallahu alaihi wa sallam was clear.
Died.
And
they describe you that you are crazy.
But when what did Allah
explain after that?
And he said,
In that time,
they used to eat the leaves of the
trees
In Sharjah al Khali,
they had nothing
of power in that time.
The imid cannot worship Allah
easily.
But why
Allah make it clear for everybody
in the time
that this is
the clear
warning
for all mankind al-'alameen,
all creatures.
Why?
To understand
that the Islam is not
national
religion. It is
international
religion.
If some agree with that or disagree with
that, that doesn't matter
because this is Allah's choice choice.
He choose
for his religion,
and he choose
among his messengers,
and he choose among his
servant.
He choose his religion.
He choose among his messengers.
Allah
choose.
And the prophet Muhammad mentioned
that Allah choose him among the tribes of
Arabs.
Best
of the best of the best.
And when we look at the verse
that Allah mentioned in Surat al An'am, the
longest chapter was revealed
completely
once,
which is the chapter of Al A'am,
the chapter of the cattle, the animals.
Allah sent it down with the 70,000
angels
to bring it down to prophet Muhammad
And he mentioned
18
different names of the previous messengers and the
prophets.
And after all these names, what did
tell prophet Muhammad
Those
are that
guided them.
And he commanded his prophet Muhammad
to do what?
And you have to follow their foot for
for foot
For for steps. Full steps
or follow their
legal ways.
And what else?
I will not ask you
about any reward.
This is what we need to understand.
It is only
a minder for.
It was revealed in Mecca.
It was revealed in hardship pride for all
Muslims.
But Allah
gave them glad tidings.
You will be leaders
for everybody.
If you follow
the revelation
that Allah revealed to his beloved prophet Muhammad
sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. In Khadul,
he mentioned
that
Most of them they were
as shippers
for sheep and cows and comets and and
this is they used to fight each other
for nothing, for no reason.
When Abbas for them, prophet Muhammad,
they become leaders.
And
if they choose to neglect the the message
of prophet Muhammad,
they will come back again to same
We have to rely
on
the revelation of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. Some
people might claim that Islam is old. We
cannot follow Islam anymore.
And
just a simple way of answer.
Why we claim that Islam is old?
Judaism is older than Islam.
Is old?
Why only you will claim that Islam is
old
and and we cannot follow Islam anymore.
And this is the point.
The point is,
Allah
mentioned in the Quran,
it's out of envy, out of jealous from
some people
that
they hate Islam.
Because
Allah
mentioned in the Quran, we trust Allah so
much. We trust the prophet Muhammad so
much.
And Allah mentioned in the Quran
that
when he
sent down
the message to prophet Muhammad,
the signs of
last final messenger of Amba
was known
for the previous nations,
Jewish
and Chris Christians.
And they wish
to have the last final messengers
among them.
But this is Allah's choice.
We have no relation with that.
This is how Allah
choose
for
his
message to be delivered
by a certain
people.
Allah chose
for for his message.
But when they figure out that the last
final messenger is not among them,
They disbelieve,
and they
declined.
And Allah accept them.
And we have to be proud.
My message today,
just for all of us
to feel comfortable,
to feel proud
of our religion,
of our messenger,
of our beloved prophet Muhammad
of our condition that Allah chose for us.
And we should not judge others.
We have to take care of ourselves,
and we have to pay attention
for our intentions.
We have to be very careful
because
Allah will not look at our images
or our pictures.
Allah will look at our hearts.
And this is what we need to understand
today.
When we talk about
the birth of prophet Muhammad salallahu alaihi wa
sallam,
it's not
a ruthless
birth like
