00:00:00 --> 00:00:02
			In the darkest day for the Ummah,
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:11
			the most difficult day for the first generations of believers was the day the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam passed away.
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:14
			The day the revelation ended
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:23
			the day they could no longer ask him for advice, ask for his opinion, find comfort. In his example,
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:30
			the day they could no longer go to confirm, approve or disapprove of certain matters.
		
00:00:31 --> 00:01:11
			That day they could no longer see the greatest role model, the greatest mercy for all of mankind
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and no doubt. When the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam passed away,
they reflected as we reflect today, that when someone beloved to you departs from this world, you
start to remember some of the things that they said, when someone really close to your heart departs
and returns back to Allah, you start to think about some of the things that they said in the way
they said them, the places they walked, you start to remember certain phrases of theirs perhaps, or
certain habits, that this person stood here. And he said that and he walked there, and he liked this
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:12
			and he liked that.
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:50
			And of course, if the one who departed is the Prophet salallahu alayhi, salam, and the most beloved
and the role model for all of mankind, that the memories are magnified and even greater. They would
remember what he used to say so long while he was telling them they would remember his farewell
speech to his Salatu was Salam and he would hold on to that message. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam gave a powerful reminder on that day, emphasizing the importance of preparing for your
meeting with a law prepare for your meeting with Allah, prepared for your afterlife and your
departure from this world. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam on that day reminded the
		
00:01:50 --> 00:02:26
			companions and the Muslims in large numbers about the importance of uniting upon the Quran. The
importance of sticking to the Quran and not dividing. The Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam reminded
them of the importance of brotherhood, the importance of the reputation, the honor, how sacred it
is, the honor of the believer, the Prophet alayhi salaatu wa salaam, reminded them at a time when
women had no rights in society, to take care of the rights of the woman in their lives. And the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam reminded those who were listening and those who would convey
this later on.
		
00:02:28 --> 00:03:09
			That we are all the children of Adam Alehissalaam. And there's no superiority for an Arab over non
Arab or non Arab over an Arab, or someone who's black over someone who's white or white over black.
Now, the only thing you have with Allah is you're standing in terms of taqwa, your God
consciousness. This was the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. And we learned from his life, how
much he cared about the OMA not just the companions that he met, but the people he knew he would
meet later on. The people he was shown in different experiences in different times. Prophet
salallahu Alaihe Salam one day he said, I wish I could meet my brothers, the word that he used was
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:19
			whiny. And of course in Arabic when you have the masculine by default, it means my brothers and my
sisters and the Sahaba they thought, aren't we your brother? So one of them said yada Sula, aren't
we your brothers?
		
00:03:21 --> 00:04:01
			And he said unto him, No, you are my US hobby. You're my friends, my companions. However, my
brothers and my sisters are those who believe in me, and yet they've never seen me. The Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is referring to us. He's referring to the unmount until the end of
times, and he's referring to us with what term, the term of brotherhood, the term of being close
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam that he's looking forward to meet us. May Allah subhanaw taala allow us
to meet him in a good state on that day. The Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam, in those 23 years of
being chosen to deliver the final message of Allah, in this world to all of humanity, conveyed the
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:39
			message, taught the Companions train the companions on what to do. And then he departed back to
Allah subhana wa Tada. And he left the companions and his followers, including us with a legacy and
a mission, to continue spreading that message and to live upon that message. So we're left today in
our times in our era with our circumstances, to be amongst those who preserve and live upon and
deliver and convey that message for others and we don't want to fail in that responsibility. We
don't want to fail. How would you feel meaning the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam on the day of
judgment
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:55
			and your character on that day, you're looking at your record, completely contradictory to the
Sunnah that he taught, the mercy that he taught was not there, the love and the compassion not
there. The rights of others not there. How would you feel meeting him in that state?
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:59
			Imagine you meet the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam, and he asked
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:40
			See, what did you do with the message that reached you? What did you do with what was preserved of
that message? A young man asked, Why as Muslims? Do we emphasize that we need to love the Prophet
salallahu alayhi salam so much what are some of the reasons? I know it's important, but what are
some of the reasons and while they may be obvious, we should reaffirm what these are number one of
seven Allah subhanaw taala commanded us to love him. When Allah commands us to do something you
should automatically know with any commandment In Islam there is good in it for you. And the love of
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is a sign of your obedience towards Allah, the love of Allah
		
00:05:40 --> 00:06:18
			subhanaw taala put you in control to a boon Allah for Toby Rooney, your baby como la jolla for
liquid renewable como la foto Rahim se indeed, if you claim to love Allah then follow me obey the
messenger Allah His salatu wa salam, O Allah will love you even more. That brings us to the second
reason. We love the Prophet sallallahu alayhi salam because Allah loves him as well. And that's a
blessed sign that when Allah loves someone, the righteous in this world their hearts should also
love that person. So Allah calls out to God law to his salaam I love so and social love Him. God
calls out to the rest of the angels in the heavens, about loving so and so and it reaches the point
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:55
			where the people on earth, the people of righteousness, the people are filtered on, start to love
that person. There's love that's placed in their hearts for that individual, like the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. Number three, we love him for his beautiful character, his impeccable
manners, his ethics, his morality, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam number four. We know that in order to
imitate him to follow Him, we must love the Prophet alayhi salaatu wa Salaam. And so when we say we
look up to him and we want to follow Him, we take him as a role model that comes through and
magnifies through the love of the Prophet alayhi salaatu wa salaam number five, we love him for the
		
00:06:55 --> 00:07:38
			struggles he went through the hardships he went through the suffering he went through, to make sure
that Islam reached us today to make sure that we are able to say La Ilaha illa Allah today, even
Taymiyah Rahama Hola, the 14th century he says, As for the reason we love Rasulullah more than
anyone else in this world, all the height all the good that we acquire in a dunya is because of his
example sallallahu alayhi wa sallam number six. We love him for his love for us and his concern for
us. He used to make dua for the Omen every Salah he used to make dua for us in terms of forgiveness
in terms of guidance. He used to be thinking about the well being of the UNMISS Allah Allah He was
		
00:07:38 --> 00:08:15
			salam. The Prophet Alayhi Salatu was Salam would be praying. An act of worship that we know is so
important that it's the first thing Allah will ask about would be leading prayer and when he would
hear the baby's crying and Salah and it seems like the mothers would get distressed like it got
extreme, he would shorten the prayer sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. Number seven, we love the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, we must love the Prophet alayhi salaatu wa salaam more than ourselves
more than our families more than anything of this world, because a person will be raised with those
whom he loves. One time a man comes to the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam and he says, A man who
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:54
			loves the righteous but cannot catch up to them. It says if he's saying, yeah rasool Allah I can
never be at your level but we love you, meaning what will happen to us. The Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam said you will be with the one whom you love, and one of the famous narrations and
multiple Mammon. And some companions said, remember this, they said, when we heard these words, it
was some of the greatest glad tidings, one of the happiest messages they ever received, that when
you die, you will be reunited with the people you love. That's glad tidings. But then there's also a
warning. Be careful about the state of your heart that you are not loving people of evil people who
		
00:08:54 --> 00:09:08
			are far from Allah, that your heart is not too attached to them. May Allah subhanaw taala protect
us. If you truly love the messenger, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, then you have a chance to be with
him in the afterlife. And in general, may Allah subhanaw taala grant us that.
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:20
			One of the common questions I receive and we hear often, is when somebody asks, How can I increase
the chances of seeing the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in my dream?
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:55
			They wrote an actual authentic true dream from Allah subhanaw taala. What should I do? What can I
do? And the first thing to note is that the devil cannot imitate the Prophet salallahu alayhi salam
in terms of the dream, that devil cannot imitate the form of the Prophet alayhi salatu salam. But
that brings us to the second point, which is that we need to know the description, the physical
description of the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam based on the authentic reports. And you find many
of these in the famous books of compilation and specifically in Shamala Timothy, it's a famous book
where you study the description of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam.
		
00:09:56 --> 00:10:00
			And the third is that you must be sincere with ALLAH SubhanA
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:37
			of Thailand because the more sincere and truthful you are, the more truthful Your dreams are. As the
Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam informs us. You must be the kind of person who's thinking of the
Prophet often sallallahu alayhi wa sallam who's making dua to be with him in the afterlife not just
do out for worldly things. You must be amongst those who reference him often who are reading his
Sita often who talk about him often sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. As for his physical description,
there's a famous Hadith and it's considered one of the most reliable narrations to know how the
Prophet looked sallallahu alayhi wa sallam who was he? So we'll go through this hadith very quickly.
		
00:10:38 --> 00:11:17
			The messenger of allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was neither very tall nor short, but of medium
stature amongst his people. His hair sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was neither very curly nor very
straight, but it had a slight wave in it. He did not have a big body or around face, but he had a
blessed face that was slightly around sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. His complexion was white with
some redness in it. His eyes were dark, they were blocked, his eyelashes were long. The joints of
his body. Salallahu Alaihe Salam were large as was the portion between his two shoulders. He was
broad and fully flushed, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. He had no excessive hair on his body. He had a
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:59
			thin line of hair running from the trust to the navel. His hands and His feet were fully flushed.
And when he walked, he lifted his legs with vigor as if he were descending to a low lying place. And
when he addressed a person when he spoke to you when he addressed a person, he turned his whole body
towards that person. And this is a sign of respect and attention, emotional intelligence, and the
seal of Prophethood was situated between his shoulders. He was the last of all Prophets. He was the
most generous, he was the most truthful. He was the most kind hearted and he came from a most noble
family. Any person who saw him who met him, would suddenly become all inspired. And anyone who
		
00:11:59 --> 00:12:10
			describes his noble features can only say, I have never seen anyone like the messenger of allah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam not before him, nor after him. sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
		
00:12:12 --> 00:12:34
			If you wish to see him in a dream, out of his salatu salam, then surely you must follow in his
footsteps. Surely you must be amongst those who truly love the Sunnah of the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam, you must be amongst those who have studied or study the Sidra the biography of his
life on his salatu salam. And I will say something that might bother some people. But we must be
very explicit and frank about this.
		
00:12:35 --> 00:13:15
			If you've gone through your life, and you've had enough time at this point in your life, to have
read just one short summarize biography of the Prophet sallallahu Sallam and you didn't one short
series, a lecture series, summarizing his life Salallahu Alaihe Salam, and you didn't but you spend
and you're able to spend hundreds or 1000s of hours on leisure, entertainment and other things in
life. That how much do you really love the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa salam, how can we go through
life saying we love him on a salatu salam, and not once wanting to read the entire Sita and a
summarize Sita you can read in a few hours, how can we go through our life saying we are Muslims and
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:55
			we are proud of the Sunnah of the Prophet sallallahu ala he said we will defend him and we don't
even know who he is so alojado send them. Some non Muslims have studied his life more than some
Muslims in this ummah. We are required to push ourselves and channel if there is an embarrassment or
a shortcoming. Channel that into action because we have the resources that we need. We are able to
experience the seed of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, we no longer have that excuse. It is
accessible to all of us old and young. Some companions used to teach their children one of the very
first things is who the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam was his life, his legacy, his experiences his
		
00:13:55 --> 00:14:31
			mission and his salatu salam. As for his character, we've given hopeless about it before and it
deserves its own series of lectures because of how comprehensive it is. sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
but even with his family, we see behind the scenes who he really was through his wives. Eileen was
salam. They would say what may Allah be pleased with all of them, they would say what about him?
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam that he was the best to the families and he would say Sal, Allahu Allah,
he said and the best amongst you, how you will come and in one narration hero come hydro compiler
commonly Allah the best of you are those who are best to their families. You know who someone is
		
00:14:31 --> 00:14:59
			behind closed doors and the prophets wives would report to he was behind closed doors. May Allah be
pleased with all of them. As for his clothes, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he was not the type of
person to look for the fanciest of clothes. He was simple on his salatu salam we're living in a
times in which due to capitalism and hyper consumerism, and different effects of liberalism, that
some people are looking for their fulfillments their validation in certain brands
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:36
			names that if you don't have this car, and you don't have this logo on your shirt or your purse,
then you're not at a certain status in society and will lie It's one of the greatest deceptions. It
is one of the greatest deceptions and that's one of the objectives of marketing and branding of so
many companies that have successfully accomplished that, that you buy something because you feel I
will feel and I will have more prestige Prophet sallallahu alayhi salam did not care about that. He
was so humble with his clothes, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam whatever was around, he wore whatever
the people wore, he wore sallallahu alayhi wa sallam so long as it was modest. He wore a turban like
		
00:15:36 --> 00:16:10
			other people wore turbans, Muslims and non Muslims. He wore what some people wear today of a faux
dishdasha khalaby or whatever it is, but what did the prophets Allah Sam see it as it was modest
clothing, he wore a commies and he wore what the people wore sallallahu alayhi wasallam and we are
of course, looking to his example, looking to the cultures around us and seeing that there is
flexibility in this around the world with the diversity of our Ummah, so long as some conditions are
always fulfilled like the condition of modesty, the condition of covering certain parts of the body,
the condition of clothes, not being too tight, that contradicts the objective of modesty that Allah
		
00:16:10 --> 00:16:45
			subhanaw taala revealed for men and for women, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam had different
types of clothes. And he liked that which was simple. He liked that which was simple salAllahu
alayhi wasallam and he warned us about wearing clothes to show off to look down on other people and
that applies the scholar say to everything you have of a dunya do not think because of your home or
your car, or your clothes or anything else, that you are better than other people because of your
material state. May Allah subhanaw taala protect us the Prophet salallahu alayhi salam like to wear
white at times and emphasize the wearing of white clothes because it symbolizes purity and
		
00:16:45 --> 00:17:23
			cleanliness. And it would caution you to be cautious, cautious about your cleanliness. How did he
walk sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam, he walked with confidence. He walked with vigor. In fact, the
Sahaba said he was not a slow walker, he walked very fast. sallallahu alayhi wasallam like he was
determined to get to his destination. As for his food, allergy Salatu was Salam. What people today
see in nutrition as a superfood diet, what people today see as something otherworldly and
exceptional It'll change your life and they'll sell it for 1000s of dollars have a regimen that was
the food of the times the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam in terms of the types of food aid what the
		
00:17:23 --> 00:18:00
			people ate and had some preferences as well. But when it came to the food portions, he never ate to
his film. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa salam warned against that. And that's something that only
today people are constantly trying to warn about from the from the aspect of nutrition and what
dietitians are saying and researchers are saying, Do not overeat. Do not overeat. Do not overeat.
It's one of the worst habits you can have. And the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam warned us about
this. He used to go hungry often. He used to wake up and ask Alisha, long the long run if there's
food if there was no food, he would fast that day. And it was stated that at 1.3 months had passed
		
00:18:00 --> 00:18:36
			by and they did not cook a single meal in their home sallallahu alayhi wa sallam meaning they had
bread and water and things that were prepared, like some vegetables that were ready. That's how poor
the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam was when he did have food, and somebody would visit he gave them
what he had sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he never kept it for himself. And the way that he ate was
simply to move on fuel for the day, which is the point of food to sustain himself sal Allahu alayhi
wa sallam to straighten his back so he was not starving. sallallahu alayhi wasallam and the Prophet
alayhi salaatu wa salaam always started with Bismillah and always ended with Al Hamdulillah. And
		
00:18:36 --> 00:19:11
			these are all very simple action items we should be doing as a way of following the Sunnah because
we know it's good for us, following the footsteps of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam who
never wasted food never complained about food, never threw away food, never left crumbs thinking
what they're just crumbs but in fact said there may be Baraka blessings in the last parts of the
food on your plate, may Allah subhanaw taala was to fall in his footsteps. As for his speech, he
spoke very clearly. he enunciated very clearly, sometimes he would repeat a statement three times so
that those who are listening would remember. And this is one of the Sunnah of the Prophet sallallahu
		
00:19:11 --> 00:19:22
			alayhi wa sallam, he never used vulgar language. He never used vulgar language. He never used the
vulgar language SallAllahu wasallam and despite the fact that he was the most fearing of Allah,
		
00:19:23 --> 00:19:58
			and the most afraid of the Day of Judgment sallallahu alayhi wasallam. They said we never saw anyone
smiling more than Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, the Prophet alayhi salaatu wa salaam joked
as well, but when he joked it was always with truth, and never anything inappropriate and never a
lie, will never make up something to make people laugh. Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam joked with
the people in there many examples of that, but his jokes were always truthful. As for his crying
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he used to cry often nucleon will lead one time it shall not be alone on
her she said the Prophet alayhi salaatu wa salaam was praying with one eye or repeating one eye and
		
00:19:58 --> 00:19:59
			crying every time
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:36
			repeating this one iron and crying every time the A at the end of solar turn made into a deep home
for inner home Rebadow If you punish them, they are Your servants Oh Allah, if you punish them they
are Your servants Allah what Intel feel alone for inner can analyze these and hacking but if you
decide to forgive them you are the Almighty, then you are the All Wise meaning you have that
authority and you have that wisdom. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was the most brave. One
time they heard a loud shriek, a loud noise in the middle of the night outside the gates of Medina
outside the area of Medina. So the Companions imagined in their home when you can hear everything at
		
00:20:36 --> 00:21:13
			that time. They were afraid. What do they do they gathered by the time they got on their horses
dressed and ready to go find out what that noise was. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was
coming back into Medina and saying go back to your homes, he taken care of it. sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam, he was the most brave and he took care of his people. And he was always on the front lines
Salallahu Alaihe Salam, even the battles during some of these battles like the Battle of budget, or
you know the long run one of the most fierce warriors. He said, I witnessed the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam on the day of Bezier, the Battle of budget, and we used to stay close to Him for
		
00:21:13 --> 00:21:51
			cover. He used to be standing at the front and he was the most fierce of warriors on that day.
SallAllahu wasallam. As for his justice, he was the most fair of people, with his family, with his
wives, with his companions with Muslims and even with non Muslims, who would always judge fairly on
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi salam in one of the famous narrations. He said that the people before
had gone astray, because when one of their nobles would be caught doing something, they would let
them go, let them off the hook. And the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam warned against this and
he said very clearly, he said by Allah, if Fawlty mother, daughter of Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa
		
00:21:51 --> 00:22:32
			sallam were to steal, I would have her hand cut off. In other words, she would have a legal ruling
as well, even the family of the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam, and so in other words, he was the
most just the people. As for his trust in Allah, consider, if you will, an orphan who never met his
father. His mother died when he was young, and later on his grandfather as well. He lost his support
the support of his uncle and the wife Khadija all the law one has simultaneously in one year, in the
year of sorrow, the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam live to witness five of his six children dying
during his lifetime sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and after 40 years of building a reputation of
		
00:22:32 --> 00:23:10
			honesty, of flawless reputation of being known as the truthful, the trustworthy, he received
revelation and now he had to face abuse and being exiled, kicked out. He was a fugitive from his own
homelands. sallallahu alayhi wa sallam consider the fact that sometimes he was abused so much he
ended up fainting from that abuse. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam faced campaigns that were
meant to assassinate his character then and now of course, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
was driven out of his home, and when he left and migrated to a place where they thought they would
be safe in Medina, there he had to deal with hypocrites as well who would try to betray Him and
		
00:23:10 --> 00:23:47
			assassinate him numerous times. And of course, they would also mutilate and attack his relatives,
his followers, his companions, the Prophet sallallahu, ISON had to deal with a slander that they had
against, it should only Allahu Allah, His most Beloved, the Prophet sallallahu ISON with all that he
went through of 23 years of suffering and struggles, maintain his optimism. And he was the one who
used to share that optimism with people who had suffered less than him sallallahu alayhi wa sallam,
he persisted, with a high standard of ethics and morality. When most people in history when you see
their lives very quickly give up their principles, when they go through hardship. The Prophet
		
00:23:47 --> 00:24:29
			sallallahu sallam was the the pinnacle of mercy, when it came to human beings and the rights Muslims
and non Muslims, the rights of animals as well and the rights of plants in the environment and the
palm tree that used to cry the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam, this experience that he had with his
trust in Allah, his unwavering trust in Allah and his reliance upon Allah subhanaw taala is a sign
it is miraculous. Where else can someone have such strength other than from ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada.
Allah subhanaw taala is the one who brings life to the dead hearts. Allah subhanaw taala is the one
who causes life on Earth itself. Allah subhanho wa Taala is the one who gives us all means of having
		
00:24:29 --> 00:25:00
			life, the spiritual the psychological life as well. Only Allah subhanaw taala could have kept the
hearts of the Prophet salallahu alayhi salam, grateful and optimistic and trusting when other people
lost their patience and other people lost their justice. And with all of this he remained humble.
With all of this, he remained humble and asserted the Allahu Anhu said the Prophet sallallahu
wasallam there was nobody that was more beloved to them the Companions than the Prophet alayhi
salaatu wa Salaam and yet when he walked in
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:36
			They did not we did not stand up for him, because we knew how much he disliked that. We knew how
much he hated that. The Prophet salallahu alayhi salam, when he studied by non Muslims as well who
are sincere in their study, they would admit, and they would write about his integrity and his
character, and that there is no one like him. There's a very famous Reverend from the early 1900s by
the name of Boston with Smith. He's a reverend and author and he says, and I'm quoting his
statement, he says, head of the state as well as the church, he was Caesar and Pope in one, but he
was Pope without the post, pretentions and Caesar without the legions of Caesar without an army
		
00:25:36 --> 00:26:19
			without a bodyguard without a police force without a fixed revenue. If ever a man ruled by a divine
right or a right to divine, it was Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, for he had all the powers
without their supports, and he cared not for the appearance, the dressings of power, the simplicity
of his private life was in keeping with his public life, he warned his ummah not to overpraise him
SallAllahu wasallam and he said, Do not overpraise me as the Christians overpraise the son of Mary,
Jesus out to his son and he says, I am Allah slave. So say, say Abdullah, what are sort of the slave
of Allah and His messenger? May Allah subhanho wa Taala allow us to follow in His blessings
		
00:26:19 --> 00:26:33
			footsteps SallAllahu Sallam May Allah forgive us for shortcomings with regards to following the
Sunnah and studying the Seto and may Allah subhanaw taala make us all an example for other people to
be guided in this world. Allahumma Amin ask Allah for forgiveness, he's the offer giving the Ever
Merciful.
		
00:26:43 --> 00:27:23
			Alhamdulillah wa Salatu was Salam ala Rasulillah. While early he was asked me he woman Wallah, the
darkest day of the Ummah, the darkest day for this ummah was the day the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam passed away sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and the annual reflection on that Day is coming
up really soon. And during this time, some people get into heated debates about fifth rulings, which
really frankly, with all humility, we should be leaving that to people of knowledge to scholars to
understand how these things work. These rulings we follow based on the scholars and the Councils we
trust. And rather than then get into a dispute about something like the mobileread or rather than
		
00:27:23 --> 00:28:00
			get into a dispute about sitting and studying the seed of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam we
should be focusing on how the Companions, how the companions and the terbutaline used to reflect on
the legacy of the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam by making sure that anytime a dispute comes up,
we're not forgetting that we all agree on some things. Number one, the objective is to increase our
love for the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam number two, that we should be studying his life the
entire year, we should be studying the Sierra throughout our lives, and not just specific times and
occasions. Although we can encourage people to do so at times of the year. Number three, we should
		
00:28:00 --> 00:28:34
			be following his footsteps. I didn't his salatu salam and teaching Muslims and non Muslims teaching
youngsters and youth and adults as well remembering the mission of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam. So the objective is to increase our love for him out of his salatu salam and he should not
be limited to a specific type of occasion or specific time or place. Although again, when the OMA
when people are struggling and they're trying to get closer to Allah subhanaw taala they're trying
to study the seed of the Prophet salallahu alayhi salam, we should encourage that, so long as we are
not going too extreme, so long as we are not doing anything problematic because the Sahaba love the
		
00:28:34 --> 00:28:56
			Prophet sallallahu Elisa more than anyone else. And if you want to know how to love the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi salam, we follow in their footsteps as well. And when the Sahaba would talk about
the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam, they would be reflecting as you heard in all of these narrations
about his character, his mission about the rulings about the details of Islam, because the objective
is to follow the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa salam
