The speaker discusses the history and worship of Jesus, including his use as aational figure and message for everyone. The speaker emphasizes the importance of following the feet of previous messengers and not judge others. The birth of prophet Muhammad salallahu alaihi wa sallam is not a ruthless birth like the birth of Jesus. Islam is a global one and Jesus chose his followers for their religion.

When we hear about

00:04:13 --> 00:04:14

his birth,

00:04:15 --> 00:04:15

we

00:04:16 --> 00:04:17

might find

00:04:18 --> 00:04:20

some people defending him

00:04:20 --> 00:04:21

or some people

00:04:22 --> 00:04:23

just rejecting,

00:04:26 --> 00:04:28

celebrating his birth.

00:04:29 --> 00:04:30

We will not

00:04:31 --> 00:04:32

go through all these

00:04:33 --> 00:04:33

hustles.

00:04:34 --> 00:04:35

Just I have

00:04:36 --> 00:04:39

on point, I would like to clarify today

00:04:39 --> 00:04:40

for all of us

00:04:41 --> 00:04:42

as believers,

00:04:42 --> 00:04:43

as followers

00:04:43 --> 00:04:45

of prophet Muhammad

00:04:47 --> 00:04:48

to feel

00:04:49 --> 00:04:50

proud of yourself

00:04:51 --> 00:04:52

that you are member

00:04:52 --> 00:04:53

of

00:04:54 --> 00:04:55

Muhammad's

00:04:57 --> 00:04:57

nations.

00:05:02 --> 00:05:04

That you are the one that

00:05:05 --> 00:05:05

Allah,

00:05:08 --> 00:05:09

you choose for him

00:05:10 --> 00:05:13

his religion. Indeed, the correct religion in the

00:05:13 --> 00:05:14

sight of Allah is

00:05:15 --> 00:05:15

Islam.

00:05:23 --> 00:05:24

Islam. When we look

00:05:25 --> 00:05:27

at the time before prophet Muhammad,

00:05:29 --> 00:05:32

this is out of justice from Allah

00:05:32 --> 00:05:33

that he sent

00:05:34 --> 00:05:35

for

00:05:35 --> 00:05:36

every single

00:05:37 --> 00:05:38

village

00:05:38 --> 00:05:39

or city,

00:05:40 --> 00:05:41

a prophet and a messenger.

00:05:45 --> 00:05:46

Because Allah mentioned

00:05:48 --> 00:05:51

that all the villages and the cities

00:05:51 --> 00:05:52

that Allah sent

00:05:53 --> 00:05:54

to them,

00:05:54 --> 00:05:56

prophets and the messengers.

00:05:58 --> 00:05:59

But

00:05:59 --> 00:06:02

all the previous messengers and the prophets,

00:06:04 --> 00:06:05

they have only

00:06:06 --> 00:06:07

a certain time

00:06:07 --> 00:06:09

for a certain place.

00:06:10 --> 00:06:13

Their message only will be valid only for

00:06:13 --> 00:06:14

his own people.

00:06:15 --> 00:06:17

Like prophet Ibrahim,

00:06:17 --> 00:06:22

prophet Ishmael, prophet Isaac, prophet Moses, prophet Jesus,

00:06:22 --> 00:06:23

all of them.

00:06:27 --> 00:06:30

Some of them we talked to you through

00:06:30 --> 00:06:30

revelation,

00:06:31 --> 00:06:33

and a lot of them we did not

00:06:33 --> 00:06:35

tell anyone about their names.

00:06:36 --> 00:06:37

But the idea

00:06:38 --> 00:06:41

is, all the prophets and the messengers before

00:06:41 --> 00:06:43

prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam,

00:06:44 --> 00:06:45

they wear as stars

00:06:46 --> 00:06:47

in the sky.

00:06:48 --> 00:06:48

And the stars,

00:06:49 --> 00:06:52

a lot of people they can be guided

00:06:52 --> 00:06:55

by the stars during the night. Like Allah

00:06:55 --> 00:06:56

mentioned in the Quran,

00:06:59 --> 00:07:00

by star,

00:07:00 --> 00:07:03

they will be guided by the stars during

00:07:03 --> 00:07:03

the night.

00:07:04 --> 00:07:05

When we

00:07:06 --> 00:07:08

have darkness

00:07:08 --> 00:07:11

during the night, it will be easy for

00:07:11 --> 00:07:13

everybody to recognize the stars

00:07:13 --> 00:07:14

on the sky.

00:07:15 --> 00:07:17

And this is what happened for all the

00:07:17 --> 00:07:19

previous messengers and the prophets

00:07:19 --> 00:07:21

before our beloved prophet Muhammad

00:07:24 --> 00:07:25

out of Allah's mercy

00:07:26 --> 00:07:29

to send for every single community

00:07:30 --> 00:07:31

a messenger and a prophet.

00:07:34 --> 00:07:36

And they were as stars.

00:07:37 --> 00:07:38

But when

00:07:38 --> 00:07:39

Allah decided

00:07:40 --> 00:07:42

to send the prophet Muhammad he

00:07:43 --> 00:07:44

wasn't a star,

00:07:45 --> 00:07:46

but he was a son.

00:07:47 --> 00:07:48

And this is the reason

00:07:49 --> 00:07:50

Amir al Shoa'a,

00:07:51 --> 00:07:54

he described him, peace be upon him.

00:07:55 --> 00:07:56

He he and he says,

00:08:04 --> 00:08:06

There is no way to compare between his

00:08:06 --> 00:08:09

book and the previous books before him.

00:08:11 --> 00:08:14

And there is no way to compare between

00:08:14 --> 00:08:15

the light of

00:08:15 --> 00:08:16

lantern

00:08:17 --> 00:08:18

or the candle

00:08:18 --> 00:08:19

with the light of the day.

00:08:20 --> 00:08:21

When we have the light of the day,

00:08:21 --> 00:08:24

no need for the light of the candle

00:08:24 --> 00:08:25

or the light

00:08:25 --> 00:08:26

of lantern

00:08:26 --> 00:08:27

anymore.

00:08:27 --> 00:08:29

And this is what happened

00:08:29 --> 00:08:32

when Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala choose our beloved

00:08:32 --> 00:08:33

prophet Muhammad

00:08:34 --> 00:08:34

to

00:08:35 --> 00:08:38

be last final messenger of Allah.

00:08:39 --> 00:08:42

And it was easy for Allah to send

00:08:42 --> 00:08:44

for every single village

00:08:44 --> 00:08:45

a messenger

00:08:46 --> 00:08:47

until the day of judgement.

00:08:52 --> 00:08:55

This is what Allah says. If we want,

00:08:55 --> 00:08:57

we can send for

00:08:57 --> 00:08:58

every single village

00:08:59 --> 00:09:01

a warner or a messenger until the day

00:09:01 --> 00:09:02

of judgement.

00:09:02 --> 00:09:04

But no need for that.

00:09:05 --> 00:09:06

You know why? Because

00:09:07 --> 00:09:10

the revelation that Allah revealed to our beloved

00:09:10 --> 00:09:11

prophet

00:09:12 --> 00:09:14

Muhammad has everything in it.

00:09:15 --> 00:09:17

There is no need for any

00:09:17 --> 00:09:19

new prophets or new messengers

00:09:19 --> 00:09:21

until the day of judgment.

00:09:22 --> 00:09:24

And the message that Allah sent

00:09:25 --> 00:09:25

for

00:09:26 --> 00:09:28

mankind. There is no need

00:09:29 --> 00:09:30

for any other renew

00:09:31 --> 00:09:33

think that Allah did not mention in this

00:09:33 --> 00:09:35

message, which is the Quran.

00:09:37 --> 00:09:39

That Allah mentioned everything in the Quran.

00:09:40 --> 00:09:43

And Allah protected Quran for us.

00:09:43 --> 00:09:45

No one is able to change

00:09:46 --> 00:09:48

a sentence or a word or a a

00:09:48 --> 00:09:51

a letter, even a vowel of the letter.

00:09:52 --> 00:09:54

The Quran has been revealed to prophet Muhammad

00:09:55 --> 00:09:56

more than 1400

00:09:56 --> 00:09:58

years. And there is no one

00:10:00 --> 00:10:02

from the enemies of Islam

00:10:02 --> 00:10:04

claim that he found a mistake

00:10:05 --> 00:10:06

in the Quran

00:10:06 --> 00:10:09

because this is the

00:10:09 --> 00:10:10

eternal

00:10:11 --> 00:10:12

miracle that Allah

00:10:13 --> 00:10:15

made for our beloved prophet Muhammad

00:10:17 --> 00:10:18

My point is

00:10:19 --> 00:10:20

just to

00:10:21 --> 00:10:24

make clear for all of us,

00:10:25 --> 00:10:27

when we look at the Quran, we have

00:10:27 --> 00:10:28

2

00:10:28 --> 00:10:29

different times

00:10:30 --> 00:10:31

of revelation.

00:10:32 --> 00:10:35

The time that was revealed in Mecca time

00:10:35 --> 00:10:38

and the other time was revealed in Medina

00:10:38 --> 00:10:39

time.

00:10:40 --> 00:10:43

The amazing thing when we look at

00:10:43 --> 00:10:44

all the verses

00:10:45 --> 00:10:47

and the chapters was revealed in Mecca

00:10:49 --> 00:10:50

time was talking about

00:10:51 --> 00:10:52

the international

00:10:53 --> 00:10:54

Islamic call.

00:10:55 --> 00:10:56

How come?

00:10:56 --> 00:10:58

Most of the companions

00:10:59 --> 00:11:00

were abused

00:11:01 --> 00:11:01

and

00:11:02 --> 00:11:02

punished.

00:11:05 --> 00:11:07

And even they cannot worship Allah

00:11:08 --> 00:11:10

with the easy situation in that time.

00:11:12 --> 00:11:14

But the Quran was revealed to them

00:11:14 --> 00:11:16

and to prophet Muhammad

00:11:17 --> 00:11:19

to give them glad tidings

00:11:19 --> 00:11:20

in future,

00:11:21 --> 00:11:22

to give them that

00:11:23 --> 00:11:25

the religion that Allah

00:11:25 --> 00:11:26

choose for mankind

00:11:27 --> 00:11:29

will not stay in Mecca,

00:11:29 --> 00:11:31

will not stay in our peninsula,

00:11:31 --> 00:11:32

but

00:11:32 --> 00:11:34

will go everywhere

00:11:35 --> 00:11:36

to reaches

00:11:37 --> 00:11:38

the 5 continents.

00:11:39 --> 00:11:40

And this is what happened exactly.

00:11:41 --> 00:11:43

You can see Islam everywhere today.

00:11:44 --> 00:11:44

Why?

00:11:45 --> 00:11:47

Because from the first moment

00:11:47 --> 00:11:50

of the message that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

00:11:50 --> 00:11:51

sent down to mankind

00:11:52 --> 00:11:55

and to followers of our beloved prophet Muhammad

00:11:55 --> 00:11:58

sallallahu alaihi wa sallam was clear.

00:12:25 --> 00:12:25

Died.

00:12:27 --> 00:12:27

And

00:12:28 --> 00:12:31

they describe you that you are crazy.

00:12:33 --> 00:12:34

But when what did Allah

00:12:35 --> 00:12:36

explain after that?

00:12:38 --> 00:12:39

And he said,

00:12:46 --> 00:12:47

In that time,

00:12:47 --> 00:12:49

they used to eat the leaves of the

00:12:49 --> 00:12:50

trees

00:12:52 --> 00:12:53

In Sharjah al Khali,

00:12:54 --> 00:12:55

they had nothing

00:12:56 --> 00:12:57

of power in that time.

00:12:58 --> 00:13:00

The imid cannot worship Allah

00:13:00 --> 00:13:01

easily.

00:13:01 --> 00:13:02

But why

00:13:03 --> 00:13:05

Allah make it clear for everybody

00:13:06 --> 00:13:07

in the time

00:13:08 --> 00:13:09

that this is

00:13:10 --> 00:13:10

the clear

00:13:11 --> 00:13:12

warning

00:13:12 --> 00:13:14

for all mankind al-'alameen,

00:13:15 --> 00:13:16

all creatures.

00:13:18 --> 00:13:19

Why?

00:13:20 --> 00:13:21

To understand

00:13:22 --> 00:13:24

that the Islam is not

00:13:24 --> 00:13:25

national

00:13:25 --> 00:13:27

religion. It is

00:13:27 --> 00:13:28

international

00:13:29 --> 00:13:29

religion.

00:13:31 --> 00:13:33

If some agree with that or disagree with

00:13:33 --> 00:13:34

that, that doesn't matter

00:13:35 --> 00:13:38

because this is Allah's choice choice.

00:13:39 --> 00:13:40

He choose

00:13:41 --> 00:13:42

for his religion,

00:13:42 --> 00:13:43

and he choose

00:13:44 --> 00:13:46

among his messengers,

00:13:46 --> 00:13:48

and he choose among his

00:13:50 --> 00:13:51

servant.

00:13:52 --> 00:13:53

He choose his religion.

00:13:56 --> 00:13:58

He choose among his messengers.

00:14:00 --> 00:14:01

Allah

00:14:01 --> 00:14:02

choose.

00:14:13 --> 00:14:14

And the prophet Muhammad mentioned

00:14:15 --> 00:14:18

that Allah choose him among the tribes of

00:14:18 --> 00:14:19

Arabs.

00:14:20 --> 00:14:20

Best

00:14:21 --> 00:14:23

of the best of the best.

00:14:26 --> 00:14:28

And when we look at the verse

00:14:29 --> 00:14:32

that Allah mentioned in Surat al An'am, the

00:14:32 --> 00:14:34

longest chapter was revealed

00:14:34 --> 00:14:35

completely

00:14:35 --> 00:14:36

once,

00:14:37 --> 00:14:39

which is the chapter of Al A'am,

00:14:39 --> 00:14:41

the chapter of the cattle, the animals.

00:14:42 --> 00:14:44

Allah sent it down with the 70,000

00:14:45 --> 00:14:45

angels

00:14:47 --> 00:14:49

to bring it down to prophet Muhammad

00:14:50 --> 00:14:51

And he mentioned

00:14:52 --> 00:14:52

18

00:14:54 --> 00:14:57

different names of the previous messengers and the

00:14:57 --> 00:14:57

prophets.

00:14:58 --> 00:15:01

And after all these names, what did

00:15:02 --> 00:15:04

tell prophet Muhammad

00:15:08 --> 00:15:08

Those

00:15:13 --> 00:15:13

are that

00:15:14 --> 00:15:15

guided them.

00:15:16 --> 00:15:18

And he commanded his prophet Muhammad

00:15:19 --> 00:15:20

to do what?

00:15:23 --> 00:15:27

And you have to follow their foot for

00:15:27 --> 00:15:28

for foot

00:15:28 --> 00:15:30

For for steps. Full steps

00:15:32 --> 00:15:33

or follow their

00:15:33 --> 00:15:34

legal ways.

00:15:35 --> 00:15:36

And what else?

00:15:41 --> 00:15:42

I will not ask you

00:15:43 --> 00:15:44

about any reward.

00:15:49 --> 00:15:51

This is what we need to understand.

00:15:52 --> 00:15:53

It is only

00:15:54 --> 00:15:55

a minder for.

00:15:56 --> 00:15:58

It was revealed in Mecca.

00:15:58 --> 00:16:01

It was revealed in hardship pride for all

00:16:01 --> 00:16:01

Muslims.

00:16:02 --> 00:16:03

But Allah

00:16:04 --> 00:16:05

gave them glad tidings.

00:16:06 --> 00:16:07

You will be leaders

00:16:08 --> 00:16:09

for everybody.

00:16:10 --> 00:16:11

If you follow

00:16:11 --> 00:16:12

the revelation

00:16:12 --> 00:16:16

that Allah revealed to his beloved prophet Muhammad

00:16:16 --> 00:16:18

sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. In Khadul,

00:16:20 --> 00:16:20

he mentioned

00:16:21 --> 00:16:21

that

00:16:36 --> 00:16:37

Most of them they were

00:16:37 --> 00:16:38

as shippers

00:16:39 --> 00:16:41

for sheep and cows and comets and and

00:16:41 --> 00:16:43

this is they used to fight each other

00:16:43 --> 00:16:45

for nothing, for no reason.

00:16:46 --> 00:16:49

When Abbas for them, prophet Muhammad,

00:16:50 --> 00:16:51

they become leaders.

00:16:52 --> 00:16:52

And

00:16:53 --> 00:16:56

if they choose to neglect the the message

00:16:56 --> 00:16:57

of prophet Muhammad,

00:16:57 --> 00:16:59

they will come back again to same

00:17:13 --> 00:17:15

We have to rely

00:17:15 --> 00:17:16

on

00:17:16 --> 00:17:19

the revelation of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. Some

00:17:19 --> 00:17:22

people might claim that Islam is old. We

00:17:22 --> 00:17:24

cannot follow Islam anymore.

00:17:26 --> 00:17:27

And

00:17:28 --> 00:17:30

just a simple way of answer.

00:17:32 --> 00:17:34

Why we claim that Islam is old?

00:17:35 --> 00:17:37

Judaism is older than Islam.

00:17:39 --> 00:17:39

Is old?

00:17:48 --> 00:17:51

Why only you will claim that Islam is

00:17:51 --> 00:17:51

old

00:17:52 --> 00:17:54

and and we cannot follow Islam anymore.

00:17:55 --> 00:17:56

And this is the point.

00:17:57 --> 00:17:58

The point is,

00:17:59 --> 00:17:59

Allah

00:17:59 --> 00:18:01

mentioned in the Quran,

00:18:01 --> 00:18:05

it's out of envy, out of jealous from

00:18:05 --> 00:18:05

some people

00:18:06 --> 00:18:06

that

00:18:07 --> 00:18:08

they hate Islam.

00:18:09 --> 00:18:09

Because

00:18:10 --> 00:18:11

Allah

00:18:11 --> 00:18:14

mentioned in the Quran, we trust Allah so

00:18:14 --> 00:18:16

much. We trust the prophet Muhammad so

00:18:17 --> 00:18:18

much.

00:18:18 --> 00:18:20

And Allah mentioned in the Quran

00:18:22 --> 00:18:22

that

00:18:23 --> 00:18:24

when he

00:18:26 --> 00:18:27

sent down

00:18:28 --> 00:18:29

the message to prophet Muhammad,

00:18:30 --> 00:18:31

the signs of

00:18:32 --> 00:18:34

last final messenger of Amba

00:18:35 --> 00:18:36

was known

00:18:36 --> 00:18:38

for the previous nations,

00:18:40 --> 00:18:40

Jewish

00:18:41 --> 00:18:42

and Chris Christians.

00:18:44 --> 00:18:45

And they wish

00:18:45 --> 00:18:47

to have the last final messengers

00:18:48 --> 00:18:49

among them.

00:18:49 --> 00:18:51

But this is Allah's choice.

00:18:51 --> 00:18:53

We have no relation with that.

00:18:54 --> 00:18:55

This is how Allah

00:18:56 --> 00:18:56

choose

00:18:57 --> 00:18:58

for

00:19:00 --> 00:19:00

his

00:19:01 --> 00:19:03

message to be delivered

00:19:04 --> 00:19:05

by a certain

00:19:06 --> 00:19:07

people.

00:19:08 --> 00:19:09

Allah chose

00:19:10 --> 00:19:11

for for his message.

00:19:12 --> 00:19:14

But when they figure out that the last

00:19:14 --> 00:19:17

final messenger is not among them,

00:19:19 --> 00:19:20

They disbelieve,

00:19:22 --> 00:19:23

and they

00:19:23 --> 00:19:24

declined.

00:19:25 --> 00:19:26

And Allah accept them.

00:19:30 --> 00:19:32

And we have to be proud.

00:19:32 --> 00:19:33

My message today,

00:19:34 --> 00:19:35

just for all of us

00:19:36 --> 00:19:37

to feel comfortable,

00:19:38 --> 00:19:39

to feel proud

00:19:40 --> 00:19:40

of our religion,

00:19:41 --> 00:19:42

of our messenger,

00:19:43 --> 00:19:45

of our beloved prophet Muhammad

00:19:47 --> 00:19:50

of our condition that Allah chose for us.

00:19:51 --> 00:19:53

And we should not judge others.

00:19:54 --> 00:19:56

We have to take care of ourselves,

00:19:58 --> 00:20:00

and we have to pay attention

00:20:00 --> 00:20:01

for our intentions.

00:20:02 --> 00:20:04

We have to be very careful

00:20:05 --> 00:20:06

because

00:20:07 --> 00:20:10

Allah will not look at our images

00:20:11 --> 00:20:13

or our pictures.

00:20:13 --> 00:20:15

Allah will look at our hearts.

00:20:16 --> 00:20:18

And this is what we need to understand

00:20:18 --> 00:20:19

today.

00:20:20 --> 00:20:21

When we talk about

00:20:22 --> 00:20:24

the birth of prophet Muhammad salallahu alaihi wa

00:20:24 --> 00:20:25

sallam,

00:20:25 --> 00:20:26

it's not

00:20:27 --> 00:20:27

a ruthless

00:20:28 --> 00:20:29

birth like
