Dear brothers and sisters,
Our reminder today,
we will not talk talk about how to
pray, how to,
perform
pilgrimage, how to,
donate,
but really we would love to concentrate
how to live
our life
according to
the legal ways of our beloved prophet Muhammad
sallallahu alaihi wasallam,
especially
inside our
homes, houses.
We will take
an example
for our beloved, An Nabi as
a husband.
Most of us
are married,
and unfortunately, because this is my specialist,
you know,
comparative
jurisprudence,
and I did my PhD
comparing between the Islamic law and the American
law in Michigan as an example.
And I know how many cases
at the court
only for divorce,
unfortunately,
from
Muslim societies,
from Muslim communities.
The highest
number
for the divorce cases
at the court, American courts, I'm not talking
about
Islamic courts
here in
the area, but I'm talking about
the American courts,
and this is really shameful.
And when we look at
the solution, how to resolve the problem,
it will be
very easy for all of us
if we realize
and recognize
how to live
the life of our beloved prophet Muhammad Don't
find excuse for yourself.
It's your problem
and it's my problem.
It's our problems.
We have to find solution. We have to
find a way. You know, we have to
kick shaitan out of our lives.
You know,
forgive me if I will say it in
this way, but this is really you will
have peace of mind in the end
because
you will imitate
prophet Muhammad
and no one will be
more busy than
Habibina Muhammad
He was the leader.
He was the leader of the army. He
was the leader of the entire Ummah.
He was
the counselor
for all all Muslims around him, subhanAllah.
And how he found the the time for
his
family members. And we're gonna start, you know,
our,
session, Insha'Allah,
with
Muhammad
as a husband.
And we will see how he used
to deal with his wives.
For example, with the Sayida Aisha.
He used to call her
Aisha.
You know, it's a feminine word,
but he used to, you know, give her
a special way
of treatment to say
It's it's a masculine word.
Or.
Have you think
to call your wife
in different way
to make her happy?
Yeah. Just,
you know, we we we need to really
apply
ourselves and our life
for to the the the life of our
beloved prophet Muhammad because Allah taught us in
the Quran.
Most of people they said, you know, we
will imitate the prophet Muhammad how he used
to pray. It's great.
How he used to,
perform pilgrimage.
It's a great tool. Yeah. But why we
neglect
how he used to live
with his
wives or how he's used to deal with
the with the orphans, how he used to
deal with the children, how he used to
deal with the with the his enemies.
Say
Allah Just we will take very
brief example with Sayid Aisha.
Sayid Aisha,
one day, you know, when prophet Muhammad used
to go in a trip, he he he
used to take one,
of his wives in his trip, and it
was her turn.
And he told his companions,
go forward.
Leave me with my wife.
And what do you expect that prophet Mohammed
told the said Aisha? He told her, Aisha,
you would you would like to go and
race?
Some people, subhanallah,
when you go with your wife in a
trip,
subhanAllah, it's
hardly
to
smile or to
make it easy for the people around you.
And she said, of course, Ora Surah Allah.
Yes.
And they did race and she won.
It's okay. Prophet Muhammad
took the the result and he keep it
in in his mind for a while.
And one more time, she went with the
prophet Muhammad
in other trip,
and he told his companions,
go for work. Leave me alone with my
wife.
And he told her, oh Aisha, you would
like to go and race? Oh,
she won last time. She said, of course,
O Rasulullah.
And they did. And what happened?
He won,
And what did prophet Muhammad
told her?
You know, I I went today
instead of the one that you won
before.
SubhanAllah.
He was holding
this issue in his mind for a longer
time
and to make her happy.
You know when the when the
the lady in the beginning of the
marriage,
she tried to make herself
slim and just, you know,
very simple,
but after she get married,
and she has
peace of mind,
she will gain
weight. And this is the most
of daughters or the
ladies, they have the same same way.
And when Sayda Aisha
gained a lot of lane, gained a lot
of weight after that,
she wasn't able
to beat Rasulullah
Another example
that prophet Muhammad
one day
he has some guests
in the place of Aisha.
And you know, when the young
woman,
learn how to cook, it might take some
time.
And
she is very wise
woman,
the wife of Rasulullah
And to prove
that she was very wise
in the time of Suraj Hudaybiyyah,
when prophet Muhammad
went to perform Umrah with his companions
and the people of Quraysh stopped them. You
are not allowed to enter into Mecca.
And what should we do? And the prophet
Mohammed
told the people, just slaughter your
and shave your hair, and we're gonna go
back to Medina.
And nobody responds.
And Asaydul Musallam, she was with him in
that in that time, and she told him,
oh, Rasulullah,
stand up.
Do your Qurbani,
slaughter your Qurbani,
and you will see how the companions will
imitate you. SubhanAllah. He he listened to her
advice
and he stood up and he slaughtered his
kurbani
and the companions were almost fighting
to jump to imitate the prophet Muhammad
and this is will teach us, listen to
your wife's advices.
Just listen to her.
I'm I'm not saying take her her opinion,
solid opinion, but at least
she will help you out.
She will give you a lot of help
in any situation or any circumstance that you
will have in your life.
Ask her.
You are the decision maker. It's okay. But
you you need to listen to other side.
And this is how he's the prophet sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam, and he listened to
and it was very
good
advice.
And
when she saw the companions with Rasulullah Sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam in the place of
and she sent, you know,
a servant with the plate
of food,
and they ate. When Assaid Aisha finished her
cooking and tried to serve the prophet Mohammed
and his companions,
and she found another plate.
It's not my plate.
Who's this plate?
And
the servant told, I bring it from Umu
Salamah, and she was mad. She took the
stone and she hid the the plate, it
was from the clay, and she broke it.
If you have your friends at home and
your wife raised her voice against you, how
are you gonna deal with her? SubhanAllah.
And Nabi Yusala
he gave us a clear message.
Nabi Yusala
he's he's the leader of the
the entire Ummah
and his wife just was mad and she
broke the the plate.
And what happened? And he told the companions,
eat eat.
Your mother was jealous,
subhanallah.
And and that's it. And he told the
servant, take
the plates of Aisha, gave to Musalama
and the broken one gave to Aisha. And
that's it. He resolved the problem, sallallahu alaihi
wa sallam. And just we need to learn,
InshaAllah, for next time we will continue
how to really
live
a happy life
with our spouse, with our family members, especially
with with our wives or our husbands. This
is very important
to have
a clear way
from our beloved prophet Muhammad
and trust me,
you will enjoy your life.
You will have enjoyable life because
this is why I choose the this message.
If our children of or our offspring
figure out that
the dad and mom are not happy together,
even if we will not say anything in
front of them,
they might have mental problem later on. Trust
me.
They might have a lot of
illness
in their minds or their hearts, and you
will not notice that until
it will be too late.
You cannot change it.
And just
my message today, we have to fear Allah
Even if we if we are husbands or
if we are wives,
we have some sisters
upstairs,
just
realize that
our life is short and we need to
make sure that we will have
the highest level of reward
out of our life,
to live our life according to the teachings
of Quran
and the legal ways of our beloved prophet
Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
