Walead Mosaad – Session 4 Prophetic Ethics

So Mike, my friend Monica, this may not

mean a lot on Sunday we're selling with Eric. I'm a roofing material.

I mean, so you didn't know how many Rob Lowe was Harvey one

method Have you had you want to hedge and as your western that'd

be Semitic and I only been

there I thought I'm headed to move up later how can I how do you know

as Iran is a headache for my mother.

So Hamdulillah we are continuing in our study of prophetic ethics,

or Aflac, another, we hear from the magnum opus of the great

scholar of Mohammed advisory and on the line who from his book here

within or the Revival of the Religious Sciences, and this

chapter which he discusses the prophetic character and the

prophetic ethic ethics comes in the form of the 20th Chapter of

the Hyatt. So really right in the middle of the book, sometimes

referred to as the heart of the book, both in terms of its

positioning in the order of the book, as well as the meanings that

are contained therein. And as we will see, and we studied, the

province I seldom

mentioned about himself in never worry still you attend minima

macadam, casada, freeway, law, consent, except to perfect these

character traits. And in the moment, as I said, He's beginning

exposition of this chapter. As we have seen, he has gone into some

detail about how that came about and about the relationship.

The Prophet SAW Selim with Allah subhanaw taala, in

how the latter then the Allah smart Allah inculcates ad within

the Prophet Muhammad, as I said, and so we know that during the

lifetime of the prophesy centum, he was Mushara. Mushara means he

was at the same time is he's receiving the way and the way he

is at times responding, or seemingly responding, we should

say, to events on the ground, because the working of the

revelation is timeless. And it reflects the uncreated word of

Allah subhanaw taala. But nevertheless, from our

perspective, it seemed as though it was responding to things are

happening on the ground. And so also, there was a Sharia, or a

system of law, a system of ethics, of dealing with, you know, our

environment and our relationships and so forth. That was at the same

time being revealed or legislated to the Prophet Muhammad SAW

settler. And so that process that happened over 23 years, you can

think of it as a loss of either teaching the Prophet homicide of

inculcating in other as the province by seven in one

particular narration mentioned at the beginning and I'll be

fascinated dB. My Lord has inculcated with it within me

comportment or ethics or other, and he is the one to in the best

position to do that. And then from intern, to privatize and then

inculcate ever added to the Sahaba, to the people who around

him to the his relations, his wives, his children, his

companions, and so forth. And that's kind of how, you know, this

became,

you know, spread out and was disseminated and dispensed to, not

just the generation of the Prophet commissar send them but the

generation they're on after. So, we can make the argument unlike

other disciplines of study, like mathematics, or like,

study of history, for example, things that are kind of could be

primarily text based and one could read them and kind of have a good

understanding of them. When we talk about edible you talk about

character.

Really the pivotal aspect of that will be experiential, will be one

learning from one who has learned from in a chain of transmission

back to the Prophet Muhammad SAW I said, and so without that,

addabbo, ethics, remains kind of a theoretical discipline. And in

order to actually embody it and CO locate it within oneself, requires

that one be around others who have that other enhanced the

significance and importance the Dean has brought upon the

formation of communities and societies that are based upon

families and within those families, individuals who are

exemplars of this prophetic prophetic character and these

prophetic traits, but it does behoove us to study and learn

about the originator

More or less of these character traits and then the Prophet

promise ourselves. So I think in our discussion from the book where

we last left off,

we had reached a point where the value was speaking about the

character of the prophets I send them and specifically the Hadith

where he says, well, the lateral ankle and I find will be we will

be in regarding me, call us on our southern border studios at a

minimum Academy. I have not been sent

or I've not it's unacceptable effect great or good

character.

And then he also says, In the Quran, we're in Naka, Lada

hooligan, alim, and indeed you are most surely upon a magnificent

character.

So here

the Zadie mentions how,

you know, how great is it? How Glorified is He lost, how fat and

good his affair and how concentrated his magnificence,

look at the comprehensiveness of his favor, how He bestows and

thereupon praises, for he is the one who adorned him and the

Prophet SAW Selim with a noble character, and then attributed to

him by saying, Indeed, your most surely upon a magnificent

character, then He, God bless him and grant him peace or settle the

Prophet makes it clear to the kind that God loves the nobility of

ethical character and detest lowliness. of character. So, we

see this word character or edit or comportment being used often and

many of our teachers and our mentors, they placed a higher

importance or significance upon this idea of edit or have

character even more than what we would call a in even though other

woman and when a nominal edit. So, even though knowledge in general,

you can think of it as a broad category, and that is considered

knowledge, but also, knowledge has to be taken from the the ethics of

what we call other as well. So in the manner by which we seek

knowledge, the manner by which you respect knowledge, the matter why,

by which we try to embody knowledge, that all comes under

edit as well. So, when they say, the emphasis

of other over knowledge over n, it means

not to treat knowledge, it just this kind of, you know, very

mere practice or understanding of something that is, is, you know,

bereft of its greater implications, right of how to

practice it of how to how to inculcate it, how to make it

practical, right. This is really the project to remember that as

every one of the things that you find in his introduction, he talks

about an ordinary noon, he talks about are they met who are added

the item and the meal. So in Arabic, these have the same three

letters, but just the second or third letter switched around. So

in in one I'm in, so really, you can think of, of as the marriage

between a in between knowledge and between action. So knowledge

without action is just mere vanity. Right? If you have

knowledge, but you don't actually practice it, man, it's just kind

of a vanity project for one to have many nice books behind them

in their bookshelf and to you know, let people come see it, and

they think they're a person of knowledge. But when it comes kind

of devoid of its real meaning, and property when, when action is

divorced from knowledge, and similarly, action without

knowledge is as foolhardiness how you're going to know how to put

things into action, unless it's based upon knowledge. So you can

think of it as the marriage between the two is an event. So in

a plus salmon equals add up if we were to put it in the type of

equation.

So and bizarrely, this was kind of something that he was very much

concerned with. And you can even glean from the title of his most

famous work here with Lumi Dean. So he talks about here in the

room, right, the revival or the reunification of knowledge and his

project and wants to revive knowledge by putting it into

action. Right and not having it just be some sort of mirror,

vanity project that we we just talked about, so

Alas, one without out. inculcates edit within the Prophet SAW

Send them and then he even shows us the edit the divine edit, and

attributing that character will enact Allah Allah will open it

when you are upon a great edit, even though that Allah subhanaw

taala hold the devil, right and look at the edit of the Prophet

Muhammad Sarson he said, Devin you, Rob Be

my Lord has made me this way at Devaney Robbie for asset add,

versus look at cartoon, right? The cartoon outlook on life or

viewpoint which is an archetype, right? It's just not kind of just

a single person that lived is true, but it's an archetype there

are others who have adopted this in the Met or Tito

TTR in Hindi, I have been given this or I have done this knowledge

mean indeed, or indeed something that is mine. So you attribute the

attributes that to himself, and we look at the edible data Wilda and

the

the humility of the prophesy settler, and it was largely

attributed except to Allah's final tag.

Then because he he brings us an example

where he says here and I'm referencing both the Arabic and

English at the same time so I apologize for that seems tedious

because caller ID law, the law and who you are given the Iranian

Muslim, you are who will Muslim hijab? Further Yara NAFSA who will

to be here for any when to say the home when we can I mean zoom out

you have she sent him

are you she said to him?

Well, I'm Europe the authority of your handwritten cards and even

hatin it for a false are seldom you Algeria to the history meaning

you have got Locanda Wookiee Muslim and that are Hamner Ali.

Hello and have in America and hibel McAllen. And after that

we're in Allahu Hibou macadam and

so he was it's a story authority of Ali, where he said how wondrous

is the Muslim man, his Muslim brother and this is somebody

speaking to his Muslim brother visits him and with a need but he

does not consider himself worthy of bestowing kindness. For even if

he does not hope for recompense or harbor fear of punishment, it

surely would behoove him to hasten toward the cultivation of the

mobilities of ethical character for these among those things that

point to the path of salvation. Whereupon a man said to ally, did

you hear this from God's messengers or sender? God bless

them grand peace? He said, Yes, and what is better than it? In

other words, another Hadith, he said, When the captives of fight,

the clan tribe were brought forth a female captive.

And here in the footnote, Savannah, Hatem, he stood up

amongst them and said, Oh, Mohamed, would you consider that

you set me free, so that I am not rejoiced over because of my

misfortune, by the tribes of the Arabs. For rarely I am the

daughter of the chief of my people, and my father used to

safeguard his cherished possessions. give comfort to the

trouble, seek the hungry, provide food, spread greetings of peace

and never once refused anyone seeking human need. I am the

daughter of how to apply whereupon he God bless him God in peace

reply to our female captive. This is truly the depiction of the

believers. If your father had been Muslim would have prayed for God's

mercy on him, lets you free her for her father used to love the

nobility of ethical character, and God verily loves the nobility of

character. So for those of you not familiar with Hatha mythology, he

lived before Islam, and they say Can a Utah begin method? Phil

Karim Utah behemoth method recap. He would be used as the proverb or

the mythical proverb or example by which you would draw in comparison

to those who are greatest in generosity. So they would say,

well, economics, Manhattan, for example, you know, and, you know,

Wow, you're really generous, but like, you know what, Aquaman had

them almost as good as Hatem almost as generous as Hatem.

I'm referring to had an authority. So he was seen as kind of that,

that example and he was a true figure he actually lived and I

believed he died before the vatha of the problem. So I sediments

around, he died before having the opportunity to meet the Prophet

size to them. So he would have been from 100 Fatra, or from the

pupil of between, who did not receive revelation. So what his

abode is determined by last month Allah but if he had never received

the data, then he too would be from amongst the dwellers of

Paradise. But nevertheless, the prophets I said, have said,

we did not know him to be Muslim. So the edible, the adequate is not

to do with our home or to pray for mercy upon the soul. So

she then makes this plea, based upon the generosity of her father

that he used to feed the sick and feed the hungry and take care of

the sick and he wouldn't

refuse anyone who would come his way and seek provision and so

forth. And so he said, Well, this alone is enough of a noble thing

that your father loves nobility and nobility of character. So he

freed her for sci fi savvy law, he left her emancipated her from

she came as a prisoner of war he emancipated from that state, and

based upon the great character of her father, that he had known of

may not have met. So here we've seen in this session that

the character that was inculcated in the province where I send them

and then emanated to him will indicate hola hola hola can Avi

Mala praises the province are suddenly saying you are the

exemplar of character, Allah is on cocaine in this way. But

nevertheless, if I was sorry, seven maturity back to his creator

to Allah subhanaw taala and that also is part of character so even

if Allah has raised you in rank and has made you a person of noble

character,

it would be deemed from good character to not to carry yourself

as such a person but to see yourself as always a work in

progress and in need of obviously Allah's divine mercy

has pardon and his love in order to continue in that manner. Will

love without to add or item how do they love it? Alameen wa Salam

Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
