Yahya Rhodus – Futuwwa Strengthening the Connection to the Beloved

Sir Lemoore Allah hi guys ain LM D

Salah more I mean of automaticity Allah say Eden or Mowlana Muhammad

and early he will Sahabi he was salam edge main Subhanak Allah al

Melina LMI Lambton and Nick Canton Alima Hakeem What are hola what a

quarter illa biLlah here earlier all the hamdulillah from the

bounty of Allah subhanho wa Taala he has caused our ears to hear his

remembrance subhanho wa Taala and to hear the phrases of our Prophet

Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and nothing is more

therapeutic for the heart than here to hear the name of the

beloved Salallahu Salam. I remember our teachers one time

we're just reflecting on the blessing name Mohamed, Satan and

Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and they just kept

repeating it. And then they would ask the question, isn't that name

sweet, and then they would keep repeating it. And they would say,

Isn't that name sweet, and they will keep repeating it. This is

the affair of the believer. Every time that we mentioned the

blessing name of Satan at OSU Lila we should be filled with love. And

if we have love in our heart that love will trigger in the heart,

these beautiful feelings. And these beautiful experiences, as

seen heavy on my says in his bullet will lie swearing an oath

by Allah. Now looking at a hobby bullet in my head. Never is the

beloved mentioned to by the lover in low all the high Awali and

nashwan Except that he will be filled with very deep love of our

blessed Prophet sallallahu alayhi salam, and that love is an

antidote, and it is an elixir. And that love is what allows us to be

able to get through this world, with all of its tests, with all of

his trials, with all of its calamities, with all of his

tribulation with all of his difficulties with all of its

hardship, everything that is that we experience, what helps us

navigate all of that is the love that we have for the Rasulullah

sallallahu alayhi salam, which is one of the most foundational in

most important reasons that we have gatherings like this on a

weekly basis is so that that love that you and I all have by virtue

of being believers is that it becomes more profound is that it

gets deeper is that it goes from knowing in our minds that we

should love and of course every believer has love to having that

transfer to penetrate the depth of our being. And one of the things

that our teachers also used to say is that their relationship with us

is one of preparing to be with the Prophet and his companions and his

inheritors, and those who love Him in the orchestra. This is the

reality, the more that we do this, and come together on a weekly

basis, but then everything else that contains this meaning outside

of this specific time that we dedicate to this, the more that

you and I that when we are going to take our last breath will

resemble the state of Satan and Bilal rod yellow Tara and hoo hoo

for him. It was a meeting with his beloved, what he was thinking

about was Satan and Mohamed, where his BA, he was thinking about

meeting the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam and his companions,

those who stood by his side, those that believed in him and died on

that blessing a man and we're honored to have been in the

blessed presence of the Rasul Allah, Allah, Allah, they were it

was Abu Salam. And I want to just highlight because we read this on

a weekly basis. And just to touch very briefly upon these different

chapters that we recite, and what it is that they contain. So we

start by saying yada yada, Muhammad. And then if you look at

what is mentioned, after that, there's different ways of praising

the prophesy centum, you are pointing out there's a mention of

his various virtues just as there are very blessed supplications

that are made. And then we recite verses of the Quran. That point

out again, the great stature of our Prophet salallahu alayhi

salatu salam, and that point to the importance of sending

satellites upon him, and then when we get into the four chapters that

lead up to the standing, the first chapter is there to motivate us

and to stir within us. The love for little soul sold a lot out is

I'd be setting them amongst many other wisdoms and many other

meanings. And then in the second chapter that we recite, then this

is about the Prophet saw the license, true nature and reality

that of light. We have a word that he there's a mentioning that He is

the light Salalah there

Addis Ababa Salam, and then that we learned a little bit about his

ancestry. And then again, that some of what took place before the

prophesy sent him in the third state in the third chapter, about

the covenant that Allah to Allah took what the previous prophets

and so forth and so on. And then in the fourth chapter, that we

have a mention of the bus of lineage of the Prophet sallallahu

Sallam until we get to the standing, which is really where I

wanted to focus. And so once the Prophet entered into this world,

thanks transformed by virtue of him entering into this world, and

even though that he Salalah alayhi salam was a profit before Adam was

even created. And there's multiple narrations of various degrees of

authenticity that point to that he was a prophet before Adam was

created. Aileen salatu, salam, salatu salam. And then when our

Prophet emerged into this world, things change because now is that

there's the inner meaning combined with the outward form entering

into the world. And there's a great wisdom and just as he was

the Imam, and baited mocked us in Jerusalem on the night of late

Raj, when he led the other prophets and messengers, likewise

is that his Deen Leo's Harada de Nicola, is it It must be

manifested over all other religions. And so that his deen is

Nasik that it abrogates the previous religions that came

before it, so what a blessing to be associated with the Prophets

Allah Allah Allah God Siva salaam, Salam. So then when we do the

standing to honor our blessing Prophet sallallahu sallam, and we

learn about the prophets emergence, and we welcome him and

we learn a little bit about what happens when he was born, Salah ly

sent him but then in the it's split into four parts. But the

last two lines of the four of the first part is that it all of a

sudden goes forward to the hotshot which is the resurrection and the

gathering. The bath is the resurrection, the hashCode is the

gathering. So we learn in this is that the blessing of the prophesy

centum in terms of really the beginning of creation, but his

beginning, and then all of a sudden to where we're all going to

end, which is we're all going to be standing before Allah subhanaw

taala Yokoyama, we're all going to be standing before Allah and what

is say to heavy on more say and to fill hatchery, Malathion is that

you will be a refuge on the Day of Judgment like a colon hulky

toughsat. All of creation will anxiously seek refuge in you. They

will all go to you. Were you not doing a thorough market, the

Hammond Harlan of law, they addressed you saying Do you see

what has be fallen us of unspeakable terror.

And then that we learn what's going to happen to in that moment

on Yom Okayama it is our Prophet slicin him only he will be

permitted to speak by ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada. You can just

imagine this smoke of where every human being who's ever lived on

the face of this earth is standing. And there's only one

person that is going to be permitted to speak only one. Only

little Sol Sol Allah I doubt is abuse syndrome. This is a reality,

every single human being, whether they believe in it, or whether

they deny it will experience everyone will witness us and only

he will be given permission to speak and that he will prostrate

beneath the throne SallAllahu sallam, and it will be said to him

to lift your head and to ask and you will be given seek

intercession and you will be granted intercession and then our

province allies and and will intercede

for us while we're experiencing the most difficult day that we've

ever experienced, ever, and then it is what are the wisdoms then

now as we transition into the third part of the standing? Now

it's a matter of seeking forgiveness is that we ask Allah

subhanaw taala to connect us to the proper size and to gaze upon

us to give us what is that we desire to forgive us of all of our

sins, because that's what we're going to need in that moment.

Everything that is that we did ilaha illallah everything that is

that we missed everything that is that we neglected. We hope that if

Allah availed us in this world that he'll villas in the next

world, and we hope that just as he veils us now that he will villas,

then Subhan who want to add, because this is really where it

all matters is that what happens in that moment when you and I are

standing before Allah. And the more that we reflect upon this,

and this is why we recite this. This is not just about moving our

head and listening to the beautiful melodies. The melodies

are there to help you reflect upon the meaning

The melodies are there to help you reflect upon the meaning. But

really what matters is that you and I are present with these

meanings every single week. And imagine if we're present and we're

reliving them every single week. And we are bringing to mind as if

we were standing on your piano. And we are bringing to mind the

prophesy stems, prostration and the intercession that's going to

transpire after that in our predicament on Yom Okayama. And

how he will be the one people go to. And the more that we prepare

for that now, the more that we will be closer to Him, then,

because we've done it, imagine if you do it, that 50 weeks out of

the year, right or close to that, because we stopped for that.

Sometimes we do outside of that. So imagine if you're doing it 50

times a year, and you're over a course of 3040 5060 years, how

many times you've done this just in the moment alone, and really

thinking deeply about this, this will have a very powerful impact

upon us. And those moments that we spend reflecting upon these

meanings, and we allow that joy to be in our heart for the Prophet

Muhammad sai center, love to be in a heart for the Prophet Muhammad

sai Center are some of the weightiest moments in our life on

the scales. Recently, we heard one of our teachers say, about a young

girl who was longing for the Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu

sallam. And he said that by Allah, all of the kings on earth, all of

those who are in political positions on earth, everything

that is that they have, he said, This young girl who longs for the

prophesy centum is better than all of them, and everything that they

have

those moments of longing for little soul out of love. And then

he went on to say is that this is the way that Holmes used to be?

What do our children longed for? Video games, shoes, you know, who

knows what else, all kinds of dunya we things in their kids,

okay, they could have those things. But in addition to those

things, this is what is really important is that these meanings

beat in the heart, that they spend time sending subtle water upon the

prophesy some loving him. And there was a beautiful story that

Sheikh Yusuf had never had, he mentions, and there was a that he

used to He taught his he had two of his children, one of his

daughter, his daughter had a daughter by the name of Aisha, and

he had a son by the name of Muhammad. And he taught them a

subtle what to say before going to bed. And this particular one was

said 100 times. So they started saying it, and then that they said

that his son, Mohammed, the young son, he was ill, he was sick. And

his daughter saw a dream with a prophesy son, where she came to

the house, he came to the house, Salah liason, and that he greeted

her and welcomed her. And then he asked in the dream about her

brother, Mohammed. And then she said that he's sick. And so he

went over, and then he made dua for him or wiped over him. Salatu

Salam, and then Muhammad woke up in real life in the morning, and

he was healed. By virtue of our prophets, Allah sent him. These

are not fables. These are not just stories, this is very real. And

that when we connect to the Rasul salatu salam, and we love Him and

we sense that a lot upon him, and we go out of our way to devote

ourselves to establishing a relationship with Him. The results

are very real man a lot of automata bring a horse alive with

his love soul I sent him and a connection to him. And my every

time that we recite these meanings, those meanings deepen,

and they increase within us yada Hamada * May Allah Tata give

us a great portion of love and connection and longing for Lavasa

Prophet Salah lights and buses to be follow him in all of our

different states will follow a lot as in Mohammed and Ida to Serbia

Salam, and hamdulillah here
