Throughout the time of history, nothing has been hidden and hamdulillah his life stands the test of criticism, his life stands the test of people looking into it and examining the behavior of the messenger sallallahu alayhi wasallam. So many books have been written on this and if you go to any library, and you look at the biography

00:02:14--> 00:02:44

section, no doubt you will find that the number of books that have been written on the life of Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wasallam are more than any other individual, whether they are Muslims or non Muslims alike. And even with the non Muslims, you find that they have to praise and they have to respect and recognize the status of Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, individuals who throughout history are known figures even in the Western world. People like Ghandi, people like Napoleon, people like Thomas Carlyle, and these are well known individuals in western

00:02:45--> 00:03:22

Western history that they have praised. The Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, there are people who may not like Islam, for whatever reason, due to their own bias or whatever or the preconceived ideas about Islam. However, if they are just look at the life of the prophet muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, you will find that they have nothing but praise for him. Salallahu Alaihe Salam, and if anyone says anything wrong, that you will find that there is an injustice or they have been unfair, in this statement towards our beloved Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam for us as Muslims, the life of the prophet muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is our deen. It is part of

00:03:22--> 00:03:33

our religion. Because we know that the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam does not speak from his own self. Allah subhanaw taala tells us when our young tickle Anil Hauer in who are ill,

00:03:34--> 00:04:18

that he does not speak from his own self. Rather he speaks a revelation that he is given to him by Allah subhanaw taala his manners, his characteristics and everything that he saw Allahu Allah, he was seldom was upon was in the very best and most perfect of manner. Allah subhanaw taala praises and gives us his key gives a recommendation to our beloved Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. When Allah subhanaw taala tells us we're in Nicola Allahu looking Alvim and the DUA O Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam upon a great manner upon a great characteristic, and there was no better recommendation than the recommendation of Allah subhanaw taala. We also find that the Prophet

00:04:18--> 00:04:57

salallahu Alaihe Salam is a great co doer, and is a great role model for us. And we know that Allah subhanaw taala tells us Laconia can Allah configure rasool Allah he will sweat on Hassan that you have in the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam the very best of a role model. Now when we look at the life of Rasulullah, sallAllahu, alayhi wasallam. We can look at it from a number of different aspects. We can look at how the Sharia or how Islam and the law of Islam slowly came about and in effected the community. And we can also look at the direct character and the behavior of the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam which inshallah to Allah will be our focus. We want to

00:04:57--> 00:04:59

go through the life of the prophet more

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

hammered sallallahu alayhi wa sallam incident by incident scenario by scenario and tried to extract those benefits, to see how we can directly then implement those in our lives. So one of the outstanding features from the characteristics of the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi, wa Salam is his humbleness is his to wellbore. And that humbleness of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is not only towards Allah subhanaw taala, which is an act of worship for all of us, because we all need to be humble towards Allah subhanaw taala but we find that the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, even though he became the leader of the Muslims, the leader of the Arabian Peninsula, but

00:05:40--> 00:06:22

still at this time, he upheld the character of being a humble individual. Every single scenario we find that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam had an exemplary character, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, on his Hijra on the journey from Mecca to Medina, along with Abu Bakr, Radi Allahu anhu, his great companion, they passed by a number of tents. And one of these tents belonged to a woman called on my bed. Now this is a very long story, and a very long Hadith a very beautiful Hadith, in which that there is one of the most detailed descriptions of the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, bearing in mind that this time on my butt did not know whom she was

00:06:22--> 00:07:00

speaking to. However, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam the point of mentioning this story is that when they were discussing and trying to flee from the Quraysh, who are trying to capture and kill the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam, the Prophet alayhi salam found out that she was a very poor woman, and they didn't have very much to eat or drink. However, he sought permission from her to ask her if he was able to and was allowed to milk the goat. And she replied, that the goat had not been fed and didn't have very much milk at all. However, the Prophet salAllahu alayhi wasallam did milk the goat and everybody had their fill Subhanallah one of the miracles of Allah subhanaw

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

taala that he gave to our beloved Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, but he salicylate ensured that everybody else that they had their fill of first and that he was the last one to drink, even though he wasn't EBU Allah, he was the prophet of Allah subhanaw taala. This is the humbleness that he had. Similarly, when he was entering upon Medina on the same journey of the Hydra, some of the companions who lived in Medina, the answer had never seen the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa salam, but upon the entering of Medina, people saw the first one walking in front and that was of course Abu Bakr, Radi Allahu Anhu. And that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam took shade underneath a tree. The

00:07:37--> 00:08:11

people fled to put towards the person who was walking at the front thinking that was the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam because this was the status or the behavior of leaders of the past, or the leaders that they knew that they would be the ones walking at the front, but the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in his humbleness, sat next to a tree seeking shade. And then when the people surrounded Abu Bakr Abu Bakr Radi Allahu Adam said to them, that I am not the messenger, the messenger of allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is sitting below the tree taking shape. Another example we find is that when formidable photogra The Allahu, and he entered into the house of the

00:08:11--> 00:08:48

Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam, and so the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was resting and sleeping on the floor, when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam awoke and made available photographer the Allahu, and he saw that they were marks from the leaves, and the palm trees that were imprinted on the back of the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, upon seeing this or Marathi, Allah who began drawing, and he said, O Messenger of Allah, I hear and I see what the kings of Persia and the Byzantines, how they are, with their golden the silk and how they are behaving so much of the treasures that they have. And you are the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam your

00:08:48--> 00:09:23

status is far greater than these people. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in his humbleness reminded him of Nakata, bloody Allah one. He said, do you not love that they will have this in this world, the life and the we will have the treasures and the blessings and the bounties in the hereafter that this world the life that we have here now, my dear brothers and sisters, is something which is temporary, and that it is limited, and what we as Muslims, what we really seek is the earthly Allah, is the blessings from Allah subhanaw taala in the hereafter and I ask Allah, Allah Allah, that He grants us the very best in the hereafter. Allah whom I mean, now the Sierra of the

00:09:23--> 00:09:59

life of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was something which was very beloved to the Companions. And when the companions of the Allahu anhu, where they would teach their children and their students, they would teach the story and the life of Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam just as they would teach the Quran, so they would teach them about the humbleness of the messenger sallallahu alayhi wasallam. They would teach their students about the kindness and the compassion, and the love that the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam gave to others. He they would also teach how the Prophet sallallahu Adelson would worship Allah subhanaw taala in turn, preserving the Sunnah of

00:09:59--> 00:09:59

Rasulullah Lhasa

00:10:00--> 00:10:41

Allahu alayhi wa sallam, we will shout out to Allah go through the journey, this very beautiful journey, studying the life of the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam taking as much benefit as we can we we read his life we have heard about his life, but how much do we really know? And then in turn are able to implement this beautiful individuals life in our lives. We know that Allah subhanaw taala is our Lord and we worship Him. But how do we gain the love and the success and the blessings and Tofik of Allah subhanaw taala This is mentioned in a very beautiful verse when Allah subhanaw taala says, call a call in contempt you have Boon Allah, say indeed if you love Allah, for Toby

00:10:41--> 00:11:22

Rooney you become Allah, then you are to follow the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam you are to know Him and to follow Him means to know him, and then you will attain the love of Allah subhanaw taala I ask Allah, Allah Allah, that he allows us to attain the love of Allah subhanaw taala and I ask Allah subhanaw taala that we attain that by following and understanding the beautiful life of the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, I asked Allah subhanaw taala He grants us understanding and to understand to benefit and then implement the beautiful Sierra of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam I asked Allah, Allah Allah the allows us to allow the Sierra to become part of our lives, that

00:11:22--> 00:11:46

we can then in turn, teach our children so that they can have a love for the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, just as those chosen generations that they had a love for the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi salam, and may Allah subhanaw taala allow us to have the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam as the most beloved individual in all of our lives.
