So Hamdulillah
we are continuing our sessions and titled, The journey is the
destination, the path of the knowers of Allah the path of a
notice of God. Referencing primarily the book entitled put an
RFP in the guiding pole of the Knowers written by a man of a
policy manager ie a scholar of Honduras in the sixth century of
the hedgerow. And we have made a slight diversion. Not really a
diversion, but it's connected to the topic talking about prophets
ology or nubile wet, looking at the theology behind our
understanding of prophethood and messenger Hood, and the necessary
and possible
impossible attributes or inappropriate things that we think
and conceptualize about our prophets and our messengers Adi
Salatu was Salam. So, we have gone over the first aspect of that,
which we called, it's not we call but it has been understood to be
as an Amana and often referred to in conjunction with that as a
schmuck. So infallibility so one of the cornerstones of profit,
ology understanding of profits is that they are all infallible and
the consensus opinion, and I say consensus opinion, because there
are some dissenting opinions. But the consensus opinion is that they
are infallible throughout their whole lives. So that would be
before prophethood and after they have been conferred as prophets.
And we also said in a previous session, that this infallibility
refers to that which would be considered sinful in their
particular system of law in their Sharia. So,
however, that does not preclude as we've seen in the Quran,
sometimes, that Allah subhanaw taala can remind the Prophet,
especially our Prophet Muhammad SAW said, ma Hua, Allah Allah, as
we say in Arabic are that which is would have been a better response
or take higher precedence. For example, the Prophet Noah, or
Noah, I think he said,
when he was on board the ark, and his son refused to board the ark
with him, and he perished and drowned in the flood. And then the
Quran recounts to us how highly Saddam asked Allah subhanaw taala.
In Muhammad Ali when no other called Huck
and he had understood that everyone would be saved, and he
said the son, he is from my family, so I thought I understood
my whole family would be saved.
And then Allah responds to him in the holy seven economic legal
soil.
For that a Sunday, my mother said, look over here and
in the eyes of akuna minal Jaya Helene. So this setup this address
back to the Prophet alayhi salam
is reminding what he said and that, you know, I'm gonna lay it
aside what he did is not truly from you, not truly from your
family because of what he chose, which is the path of disbelief May
Allah protect us from that of course. And then Allah reminds him
in the eyes, hakuna manager, Haley, I remind you, or I forewarn
you are admonished you not to be from V. Jaya Helene right not to
be from the ignorant. And so, in last question to Allah subhanaw
taala this was not a sin. Right? It was merely a question but
something that for the MACOM of new Goolwa right for the station
of prophethood. Allah is reminding him there's something even higher
and as we said, in the previous session, there was a therapy.
There's also a spiritual ascendancy for the prophets just
like there's a spiritual ascendancy for the earlier we'll
saw the Hain or Sydney theme, and so forth. And well Abdel and the
and the other, wrote up the other degrees and classes of Wynia or of
sainthood or of we should say, humanity
that other human beings can experience but of course, no one
can aspire to prophethood
snot earned. This is something that allows small Tada selects.
Based upon his hikma.
All that he does is Hakeem, everything that Allah does is
wise. So, we went over a manner, those who have the handout
in front of me here. So we're also going to look at the next
attributes. So, the for the second one that we mentioned was a Sith
or complete honesty. And we stated,
all the Prophets and Messengers report as being true, must be
true, as they are incapable of lying, if they are capable of
lying, and as they are aided by Allah subhanaw taala then the lie
then must be considered the truth and this is impossible. So,
similar to what we saw about Amana another way you can think about
trustworthiness slash infallibility. And then honesty is
that trustworthiness infallibility applies to the deeds and acts of
prophets and messengers, and then the seduction or the complete
honesty applies to their acquired to their words. So their words
will never be anything except 100% representative of the truth, in
other words, we will fall back in the water, it will completely 100%
reflect reality when it is and if
right when they are informing us of something. And even the cam
that they inform us of at the time that is exactly what Allah
subhanaw taala watts, and according to the automat and
Medina use between a nest, the ones who confirm that there is
necess of Africa, that there is obligation or superseding of some
legal rulings over others that come later. What was intended for
in the first instance was exactly what Allah intended. And then
things became abrogated after that such as the the to reach the way
in that alcohol are intoxicating drink was prohibited by the
prophet so I said them so it began first as mentioned in the Quran,
that one should not approach the prayer while they're in a
inebriated state while they're in a drunken stupor, so that they
have to document the whole rule so that you may know what you're
actually saying. And then eventually made its way after a
second or third radiation.
Certain times of day they would avoid it and then they were to
avoid completely because one of the five prayers were made
obligatory, they found that they could not drink at all during the
day and only have to be at night after I shot. And then eventually,
the abrogating verse came to completely prohibit intoxicating
drink.
At Commonwealth Mesa
is not just right, it's something fetched anymore. It is. It is
filth, both spiritually speaking and ritually speaking. So even
liquid intoxicating drink itself is considered to be filthy.
So then that abrogating, verse abrogated all that came before.
And then certainly they said there's no Ness. There is no
obligation in
a star, mother, so there's no obligation or superseding about
things they told him that happened to occurred in the past. So on the
promise I sent him we'll talk about previous or mom, whenever he
talks about it from his own words, or where it comes from comes from
the Quran, right about the home, nor about the people of Noah or
the people of Lula or the people of Ibrahim, or Pharaoh and Moses
and so forth. So all of that there's no Ines. There's no
obligation because it's it's about my mother is telling about that
which occurred in the past. And so that can't be superseded or
obligated. It's only one way that could have happened. And then the
prophets are sending this telling us that way.
Prophetic miracles
are extraordinary.
Or should say also, you could say extra ordinary or extraordinary
occurrences that defy common experiential norms given to
prophets and messengers as a sign of their honesty. So the marches
that are in March is that
is something that they say in the books of theology, it says if I
lost mortality, saying to the community to the people, saw the
five the female cool,
right, so my servant here is truthful and all that he says.
And the miracle then is a sign to indicate that he is indeed
truthful and all that he says, because the miracle is defined as
something
I think we defined it
later on,
as extraordinary occurrences issued as a challenge by a prophet
or messenger as a proof of their honesty and claim of power.
prophethood or messenger Hood. So
if one of those qualifiers is not there, then it's not considered to
be emojis is not considered to be a prophetic miracle. So the
prophetic miracle there then is there as a proof that this is
true, what the messenger saying is true, whether it's Mohamed Salah
Salem or eSATA, he said up, or Musa, he said, I'm Moses or the
wood or Solomon, so forth any of the 25 messengers and prophets
mentioned in the Quran, Kareem.
And
generally speaking, the modules that they tend to come in an area
of human
action that is specific to the particular period of time,
something that humans at a particular period of time were
quite interested in, or you could say,
was a particular norm or something they excelled in. So we see that
the staff of Moses
turned into a serpent that ate up all of the rest of the
sorcerers serpents. And some of the way it said that the source
was numbered in the 1000s at the time. And all of them immediately
realized once that had happened, that what Musa has sent him did
was not magic
was not sorcery, but it has to be something completely different.
So that's why they all went down into St. Jude. And even though
Pharaoh threatened them with a really torturous ending and death,
threw them in boarding pots and cut off their limbs, their arms
and their legs. Nevertheless, they said lead Lottie, lawyer, meaning
it doesn't matter. You do not have hookworm, you do not have control
of our Asherah, which is the important thing. So they said, I'm
in Nairobi Whoo. So how we have believed in the Lord of Moses and
Aaron of Musa and rune, and ESRD, Sudan also lived during a time
Jesus, when people were beginning to make strides in curing what
seemed to be incurable diseases and treating the sick. And so he
did something that no,
then that the best physician could not have done which is to give
life, to death, your head motor, and to give sight to the blind and
to cure the leper. So these were things that were also miraculous,
that will give him as I said, and for those who understood
what this meant, they immediately believed and then those who still
understood but denied it, they disbelieved along with that.
So the modules are then it comes from the Arabic word meaning,
meaning add, yes. Right, just, you know, just to full and that means
I incapacitated this person. So what the mortgages are, because
Jean means to incapacity, so incapacity, it's the one in other
words, they're unable to bring something like so the modules are
of our Prophet Muhammad source and the more many,
remember very happy probably has the best compilation of that a
companion of compendium of it called delighted in the boudoir,
delay and war or the the evidences are the proofs of profit and which
I believe is translated from that mistaken. But in the original
Arabic, he recounts something like 100, or more
miracles that the prophets I send them was was given to prove his
Senate or his honesty, and of course, the living miracle the one
that still remains or the chief miracle that was given to the
Prophet Muhammad SAW so that was the Quran. And the Quran as we've
talked about earlier in the previous sessions, it's good I'm
Allah here, I'm gonna sell it is the speech of Allah subhanaw taala
that has been revealed in the Quran and audibly you're moving in
the clear Arabic language and so something that the Arabs Excel
excelled in at the time was
poetry and began and
eloquent eloquence and for Zaha and all these things that mean
that they will kind of had a literary prowess that was, in
terms of what they're able to do and produce and be creative with
this is probably the number one thing other than that they were
mostly herdsmen or traders, caravan traitors, so they didn't
really have any sort of philosophy. They didn't really
write books. They didn't create an erect buildings, and grand cities
and all these things that you would have found in the Sassanid
Persian civilization in the Byzantine,
European civilization but what you did find in them not really a
built up civilization but this
prowess in being able to describe what they feel basically
in a way,
then
that others could not produce in the same manner. So it was really
more of a sort of,
let's say a crossing between that what you feel that what you think
and then expressing it in words, this is what they excelled in and
so then the Quran comes and it's our it's revealed and it's unlike
anything that they had seen before.
Wasn't really didn't conform to poetic meter.
It wasn't like what the soothsayers would say, or the
Kahana.
It didn't really fall into any of those categories. And at the same
time, many of the Kureishi, even the ones with disbelieved in it,
they had to admit that there was something about it that at the
very least, was enchanting, some of them mentioned
what he did in the movie era.
He had, and this was the father of Halloween.
We did not become a son like his son, but he had you heard the, the
Quran, you know, and some of them would, you know, hide out and
surreptitiously tried to listen some of the Quran as was being
recited in some of the houses of Makkah. So is there, the Quraysh
friends would not see them, and they would hear it and then they
would go back and they will be mesmerized by it. So will you read
I did this one time and it goes back to his
his Koresh chieftains and he said, You know, I heard something that
was really IGE. And in other Hammerschmidt, when
now when I'm over there, you know it. It's something that produces
all of these things inside of me when I hear it, and it's much more
it's fruitful, and it's beneficial. And then they kind of
burst his bubble, so to speak. And I said, No, no, no, no, this, this
is Sahara. This is a type of sorcery and magic, Hamid is doing
sorcery over you is doing magic on you. Come back to your senses so
forth. No suffer, Domino, shut that
sham Lana, all the things that they used to say and will suffer.
And you know, he cursed our ancestors. Loki doesn't like that
they were worshipped in this way. And, you know, he has disappointed
us and we thought it'd be more. So really all of the arguments if we
look at it, both in the spirit of ignition and before and all of
them conclude basically, they didn't really have an argument to
stand on, it was more about
their expectation that the status quo should remain on should not be
changed because they were personally benefiting from the
status quo. And so you found many of the companions with it become
companions, who were not necessarily beneficiaries of the
status quo, this was not a veil for them. And so there there are
many of them flocked to the reseller flock to the Rasulullah
sallallahu Sallam and accepted Islam. But those who were veiled
by their love of their own status, and you could even call it
privilege I suppose and, and prestige. This acted as a veil as
a hindrance and an obstacle and of course, many of them did overcome
that, but many of them did not. But what they could not do. And
the challenge was issued in the Quran first Asha, so a mystery you
know, try to bring 10
versus like 10 chapters, like the Quran, if you can reproduce that.
And then it said even one verse one area one chapter, something
like the Quran and then the Quran clearly states
couldn't launch tomato general inside and yet we missed the
handle core and layer two obviously he will not care about
Mahira say if all of the gin and all of the install of the even the
gin and the human beings are all to come together and try to bring
something like this Qur'an and they will cooperate in doing so,
they would not be able to do so.
And so there is no record that naman actually tried. The one lame
try, you could say in the books of theology mentioned it was by
Kazembe, who was a cadet musei lemma. Kazem the one who came from
Eastern Arabia, and he wanted to strike a deal. This was after the
Prophet saw my son was in Medina and he saw the influence that he
had and he would send ridiculous letters like you know, you can
have Western Arabia and I'll take Houston Arabia, I'm a prophet like
you and I have some ye What's this? Why he he would basically do
more haka he would mimic some of the
of the verses of the Quran but in like a very actually
ridiculous way. So he would look at certain fields.
You know, like, the sort of elephant Sophie woman Fiedler who
her total total was alien
Cassia
something like that. So he would say, Oh, what about the elephant?
Oh, he has a long trunk and he has a short tail and you know, so just
Mohawk. Yeah. In other words, he's looking at the
The words of the Quran and just tried to mimic in that way so he's
not obviously bring the eloquence he felt he fooled no one really.
So if it was as easy just to bring something that can that could
challenge the Quran and its literary prowess and the Quran
definitely had disability, right. They're the ones who sang the
praises before Islam of the seven oats or several more ala carte, so
much so that they wrote it in gold lettering and they, they hung it
up from the walls of the Kaaba. But none of them were able to do
that. And there's no record that any of them even tried because
they were not able to or
able to bring something like it. So, the complete honesty or set of
the prophets and messengers, this is something then that
is a necessary attribute of all the prophets. The third one,
called the Tbilisi,
the conveyance of the message, so all messengers must convey the
message that he said, upon which Allah has placed the burden of
conveyance. This also means that nothing could have transpired
during the duration of their mission, except that they convey
the divine commands and prohibitions regarding them.
So we don't say that something that would have occurred during
the time of the Prophet Muhammad talks, and he knew about it. And
then we said, well, he remained silent, he didn't have a ruling
about it, no, if there was a ruling about it, he would have
conveyed it. And his silence also is indicative of his tacit
approval. And we know this because the Sahaba would say we used to do
such and such during the time of the prophets, I send them while
I'm young Karolina or them, you're undefiled you know, something like
that. And he did not send her us or blame us or prohibit us with
me, I'm not gonna
prevent us from from doing that particular thing, whatever it was,
that they did during the time of the Prophet Mohammed SAR seven.
So, all that they have been the only only Ruby that really, you
believable that which they have been ordered to convey, they
convey some of the automat, particularly those who are
automate after some of they also say, some of the things that the
prophets I seldom
Bell love, that he conveyed, sometimes were specific to certain
people and not for everybody. And they say this is Omaha, Aquinas
Rob. This is the, the knowledge of science of haka of true realities
and a straw and divine secrets.
And this is somewhat based upon the hadith of a water IRA. And he
said, You know, I was given we i n, by the province ourselves, I
was given two vessels, one that he told me a Bosu who, one that he
told me to convey and disseminate. And the other that I was not to,
and he said, If I were to convey the second one, they would have
cut my throat lateral hazard halco. And one interpretation of
that is
that he was given the names of those later on in the Omega
dynasty who would
be treacherous and would would harm and damage the reputation of
Islam and so forth. That's one opinion that you find, but I
believe the stronger opinion is that there are Hekla Is there a
surah there are things that some of the senior companions received,
that just would not be appropriate for everyone to try to digest and
understand because they would not be able to adjust and understand
it and add them in Bab heartedness, Allah Kadri propodeum
You know, speak to the people
at a level that they can comprehend. And also the Hadith of
the administrator would that he said, Man Tim Hardison, home,
Hadith and lay of global order home in what are called cannoli
body in fitna, you will not convey something to someone that they
don't comprehend completely, accept that will be a fitna a
trial and tribulation for some of them. So all that the Prophet SAW
Selim has been ordered to convey my own morality of living for
Bella Bella varicella was added Amanda also had a llama, we know
that he conveyed the message, and he gave his best sincere counsel
to this ummah. And
this is something that we don't have any doubt about it
hamdulillah so I did say all messengers must convey going upon
the opinion that messengers are the ones who convey not
necessarily prophets. But as we said earlier, if you look
on the second page of the handout, you'll see that I mentioned the
two opinions between prophets and messengers, which you mentioned in
the previous session. So according to that first opinion, then it'd
be prophets and messengers would convey the message
and then find the need of the fourth necessary attributes
something called Alpha Thana or sagacity.
equally translated it.
All Prophets and Messengers must be sagacious of sound and piercing
intellect, they are never feeble minded, nor unintelligent, as they
must be sagacious to speak and demonstrate the certainty of Allah
to faithfully should be carry out their mission, not carry out carry
out their mission. So
they mentioned this as a fourth attribute, because an MBA one was
doing yet to another hedge, they come with what hudgell value,
right? They come with clear demonstrable proofs for the
existence of a law small town and they're dealing with locating
Majah Hagin. They are dealing with people who would deny that people
who would oppose that people who would actually fight tooth and
nail to oppose that and so that message would not get out. So
clearly also to accept Allah to accept Islam. It's a matter of
personal conviction, and it's not a matter of compulsion. Like Rafi
Deen. So no prophet is to compel a person to accept the deen
of Allah to criminalize Hatha Yoga coulomb meaning this is a verse in
the Quran, a word of admonition, you know, you will not compel the
people to until they become believers, it's not for you to do
and no Malakal. Beleg, let's start in the Messiah. Right? This is the
Quran speaking to the Prophet Muhammad. So I said, No, you only
have the
obligation of conveyance.
Let's start in the Messiah, right you cannot compel them. So how
then to demonstrate how then to speak about the
the cogency of the message? Well, it has to be via clear signs and a
clear way to demonstrate that.
And since the prophets I send him home mobile live, then he has to
speak, and he has to show and so forth. So all of that requires
sagacity or, and fatahna.
Now, the permissible attributes, so those are the four necessary
ones, the permissible action, which means this, these things can
happen to profits, just like they can happen to other human beings.
So we say all common human properties such as eating,
drinking, marriage, sleep, aging, sickness, and death are all
permissible attributes. So the vast majority of profits took
wives and they married and some did not hear it. He said, I'm very
sorry, he said, I'm did not marry. But it's not something as a
general principle, that celibacy is seen some sort of higher MACOM,
or higher station of being with God. In fact, marriage is the
higher state of being genuinely we say,
and not taking a spouse doesn't mean that you are more dedicated
to God or more committed to a law than more than one who does. So we
don't really have this in our tradition at all. And I think it's
kind of based upon the false notion that,
you know, the union between man and woman is somehow
sinful, at its core. Right? We don't have the concept of original
sin, we don't say that. We know that, that that which transpired
with Adam and Eve and Satan, and then later on,
we don't say that it's somehow some sort of blemish on humanity
and both sexes, in fact, maybe even women are paying for it more,
all of that, that whole discourse is not, is not found within
Islamic discourse. So we see that actually, it's a sign it's an area
and this is how it's described in the last one. In the Quran, that
the union between men and women and everything created in pairs,
is a sign of God, it's an ad of a law small guy, everything is in
pairs acceptable, the one who was not in a pair and then we, Allah
subhanaw taala, the, the if something is in pairs, that means
the completion of the one is the completion of the pair. So you you
complete your deen as mentioned in some of the Hadith, when you
complete the pairing, that
that is part of the Divine system, so to speak, soon, and konia
everything was created in pairs, including men and women. So
profits, they marry and they sleep and they age and they can get
sick, and they die. So these are all things that happen to prophets
and messengers. They do not, however, suffer from any malady or
sickness that would compromise they're missing, such as insanity,
leprosy, mutinous and permanent blindness, like because of their
mobile Levine and they have to convey a message than anything
that is Munna fear, right? Anything that would be considered
to be offensive to a degree by others that they would not listen
to them, then would not be
appropriate for them to convey their message.
You might say, What about signal Yakov in the Quran? Did anyone go
blind after?
You know, he was right from sadness about sunnah Yusuf, that
was not really brought blindness, he wasn't really blind, he just
couldn't see in that moment. And then when he took the commies when
he took the shirt of use of double zero, right, his sight came back
to him. So that's not considered an issue. And that stopped him
from conveying the message. And that which has been said about
Sydney, a YouTube
or job Alehissalaam, that he too went blind or that he had such a
sickness that people couldn't even come near him and all that all of
that is in from the Israeli yet. This is from the way out of
the tri tribes of Israel, the Hebrew tribes that came in
previous books, these are not Quranic
there's no chronic basis to that. So we don't accept that that was
the case with a unibody sedan. And you will find also in the Bible,
sometimes what looks like prophets committing sins and saying things
that are completely inappropriate about divinity. So all of that we
reject something that never happened, or could not happen with
these prophets.
So all of their words and Acts Then are from the legally
obligatory and recommended, in other words, that which is legal
and regulatory recommended for us. And then, in addition to that, we
have a class artist that we mentioned earlier, those things
that are very specific to the province that only they do, and
it's usually in terms of something that's more burdensome. So the
fact that our Prophet Muhammad Cicilline, married more than four
wives at a time is not a luxury, or a privilege. It was a
responsibility and it was a burden.
And then there are voluntary permissible acts always are done
in the service of these two.
So the voluntary permissible acts always done in the service of the
wedge if they're obligatory, and the recommended men Dewbacks. So
even the way that they dressed, and what you can call personal
preference.
Many of the arguments say that we don't necessarily have to emulate
them if we have ally him LGB Lea, right, which means kind of their
instinctual, instinctual or inherent practices of like, what
they like to eat and what they don't eat. But nevertheless, we
find the companions did endeavor to even emulate the prototype some
of those things like Sedna, NSMB, Malik, and Mishima. And it's
mentioned that, you know, he used to look for the Tibet, in the, in
the stew. And that is a type of gorgeous squash. And he was asked
about it, he said, Well, I saw the Prophet SAW, I said, I liked it.
So I like it, too. So he saw that the prophesy son would be eating
from it. So he wanted to do the same thing. So
there's no blame, then if someone even follows or tries to emulate
the prophets, I send them a fee of Ali and GB Lea, right? And even
those things that seem to be like, personal preference for the
Prophet Muhammad.
So then,
I thought also to add here, that it would be good.
Of how do we recognize prophethood? Why do we say this
person is a prophet? Or a messenger? What is the proof as it
were, we're an age that we're always looking for proof, and
we're looking for
validate validation, and we want to know for certain, and
oftentimes it comes in this form of empirical, or our request comes
in the form of empirical evidence. And we also find this in before
and write the opposition to the province I send them sometimes
they would say, Well, if you were truly a prophet, you would have
been an angel. And if you're truly a prophet, then why don't you make
the hijab? Why don't you make the punishment of chastisement come
directly upon our heads as we speak. You know, as you see in
popular culture, well, if I'm wrong, may lightning strike me
down right now and so forth. And this is what we say this is but
Yeah, ha, this is the title of
arrogance. I think, too, you know that you want a god to address
your specific request exactly as you want it in the time that it
is. So there are clear and evident signs of how we can recognize a
prophet. He's no there are no more today, but
this is what they're all about, say. So the first
creation of irrefutable knowledge by way of inspiration from Allah
subhanaw taala. And this is probably the way of the men of
uscib. The theme, and obviously of the greatest Siddiq, namely Abu
Bakr, Siddiq, Radi Allahu Anhu when the Prophet SAW I said, I
mentioned about him my father on a coma Bobak because he is solid and
was well so young, or there can be che in wakad office already that a
worker is not preferred over you or did not excel over you. By
extra prayers are fasting by something that stood in his chest.
So one of the first people to accept
the will of the Prophet Muhammad SAW I send him was ever walk
received it and that
was even before there was any court and really
revealed, right?
At this moment, the color the color was probably just a few
lines from a few verses from certain Allah. And even before him
sit in a hadiya into Hawaii did our mother in law, the law on her,
she accepted and knew and felt the prophethood of Hamas or send them,
perhaps you can make an argument even before he fully realized its
allies. And perhaps this is also what drew her to him, even before
they got married and her interest in being married to him and then
obviously after about head off, after that first meeting with with
Archangel of Julian, and the province I sent him describe what
had happened when he was in number 50. While NFC, right he said, I
was afraid I wasn't sure what this is. And then what was religious
response now Allah, Allah, Allah, whoever that Allah will never
disappoint, you will never put you in that particular position. And
then she went on to talk about the things that he does.
No matter what, you know, I know what I've been hackler where
life was toxic.
And bad, Obama exotic, you know, you do all these things for people
and you help people and you have all of these beautiful SIFAT these
attributes about it, about you. So she knew in her heart that this
was Nuwa. This was prophethood. And so
you know, sometimes the the biggest proof that you're looking
for is squarely in your heart. And it's not something that needs to
be from the outside. And this also can go back to this idea of fifth
off, right, this idea of
you know, we have this certain, we're programmed in our spiritual
DNA, so to speak, to be more headin to be monotheists and to
believe in Allah subhanaw taala and to believe in his beautiful
attributes and to believe in His messengers and his prophets.
Number two, authentic report from authentic sources, such as
previous scriptures. So a sila he said, I'm told his people
version we're assuming yet to embody his model. There will be a
prophet that comes after me his name will be Ahmed. And obviously
for us, also, we see that
from previous sources and previous generations that they said, it's
most awaited, right that that the province I said lived in existed
and is as we know him to be
third way summary of human attributes that cannot be found in
other human beings. This was something called the Art and she
felt mentioned.
Namely, that it's miraculous the way that all of these perfect
attributes and perfect completion can be found in one human being,
that you can imagine it being found in another human being in
the same manner in the same way.
And then the fourth that we mentioned already, divine miracles
such as the Quran,
defined, as we said earlier, extraordinary recurrences issued
as a challenge by a prophet or messenger as a proof of their
honesty and claim of Prophethood or messenger of it. So besides the
Quran, there are other miracles of font size and then, and she
claimed to have come out the splitting of the moon.
Newborn Matt beignet being soggy that water would, would just
trickle from between his fingers, and at one point he quench the
thirst of over 1000 men based upon water that trickled from his
between his fingers. And there's many other miracles that you can
see in the Kitab. That
I would also say here and add, add, but I kind of think it's
combination of numbers one and two is our number one and three sorry,
that you see the
the traits of Prophethood attributes are prevalent in human
beings in their in the heirs of Muhammad Saariselka. So when you
see it in someone else, you see a walking Shema, in a walking book
of the attributes of a particular sentiment you see in a person
then, you know, this, this couldn't be something that just
happened happenstance that had to have come from a divine source,
that a human being can be in such a way especially in when in an age
we that we live and it's very rare to see such human beings. But when
you see them and their followers and their emulators, and they are
heirs of Muhammad sorry, send them this is one of the fastest ways
not just to knowing that Islam is true and profit is true. It's also
one of the fastest ways to mattify. Right to having a more
intimate knowledge and profound knowledge of the Divine of Allah
subhanaw taala.
The interstates of prophets and messengers, though Prophets and
Messengers may exhibit common human attributes outwardly, such
as non chronic sickness as we mentioned occasional
forgetfulness. Their interstates are perfectly aligned with the
Divine Decree. Thus, they never suffer weariness from their
missions nor grievance. Rather all the tests and tribulations they
endure, only bring them closer to Allah and raise them in degrees.
If this is possible and reserved in many members of the community
on our OMA, that one of those who are the beacons for the community,
the prophets and messengers, this is not something that's impossible
to be completely aligned with the Divine decree and not to have
grievance and not to have weariness of that which I lost.
While that has decreed for you if this is true about the affiliate
of Sydney clean will update, then why couldn't it be true? And
indeed, it is true about our prophets and messengers, and I
mentioned this because occasionally I see people in
social media and other places, they kind of say things that are
inappropriate.
You know, it's not appropriate to say that our province will accept
and, you know, grew tired of this or didn't like this. And, you
know, as if we are kind of, you know, some people say, Well, he
was human being, we have to understand his humanity, and
indeed, he was a human being, but not like other human beings,
right, like the Ruby amongst regular rocks as a memorable city
says, so it's not something that we do to to confirm his humanity,
then we have to also confirm for him the sort of endured in our
shortcomings. I don't agree with that. I think that they were
perfect states. And those states are also we're sending those in a
state of therapy, but they are perfect states, nonetheless, from
day one of their profit, along with the other.
So we already talked about the difference between prophets and
messengers. And as a final note, we said yesterday, the previous
session Allah was in is not obligated to send to humanity,
prophets and messengers to convey his message, and serve as guiding
exemplars of perfect fulfillment of divine commands and
prohibitions. Rather, it was and is an act of pure grace. And one
should ever remain grateful that Allah subhanaw taala has sent us
these examples. And the
the meaning of new Goolwa, the meaning of Prophethood messengers
still alive in the errors of the prophets and messengers. So that's
why it's is vitally and essentially important, that one
finds these people and learns from them and maintains their company.
And it's also vital as a communal obligation that we produce these
sorts of people, that we understand our deen very well that
we allow people to grow, and to flourish, and to be the best
version of themselves. And this is ultimately, what our Prophet SAW
said and came to do. I think, you know, to put it simplistically,
you came to make everyone that he came into contact with the best
version of themselves. That's basically how I think I see it.
And, and once he instilled that in others, then they were able to do
that for others as well to bring out the best version in other
people as well. And so, we should also ain't an endeavor to do that
anyone come into contact with, we should not endeavor to bring out
the worst in people, we should not try to trigger them or provoke
them or to
see what they're made out of and test them rather, if we know our
brother or sister or even our brother and sister in humanity has
a particular weakness in a particular thing. The idea is not
to provoke that or to trigger that or to bring that out so that we
may humiliate them. That's not the idea. I think the idea is we we
serve them, we protect them, we try to be prophetic with them. And
this is ultimately what I think the promise is did with with the
Sahaba and the companions. Well, Lord Allah, Allah will Ireland
Hamdulillah I mean, so I'm going to stop here. And with that, we've
kind of finished the profit ology and tomorrow, or the next session,
we will go over eschatology, hopefully one session maybe to
looking at things of a summary yet things that are of the unseen and
just kind of a general overview with that. We're humbled I mean,
so
