In the name of Allah, peace and blessings
be upon the Messenger of Allah, and upon
his family and companions, and upon those who
follow him.
The name of the Messenger of Allah, peace
and blessings be upon him, Muhammad, he is
the oft-praised.
Just as we have spoken a little bit
about the second name of our Prophet, peace
and blessings be upon him, Ahmad, which is
translated greatest of praisers.
So, Muhammad and Ahmad.
And then we have two other names that
are related to these names that were just
mentioned, but they're also derived from Hamidah-i
-Ahmadu.
So the name of our Prophet, peace and
blessings be upon him, Hamid, one of his
beautiful names.
And this is translated as praiser.
And then the name of our Prophet, peace
and blessings be upon him, Mahmud, raised one.
And so these are not emphatic forms as
opposed to the superlative of Ahmad and the
emphatic form Muhammad, who is the oft-praised.
And so anything that relates to praise, he
has a name, peace and blessings be upon
him, that points to that meaning.
And so in the book here, we have
Hamid, praiser.
The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him,
praised Allah himself and Allah's servants.
And he praises our good actions before Allah
in the intermediary realm whilst in the grave.
As he has said, peace and blessings be
upon him, my being alive is good for
you.
You perform acts and matters that are legislated
for you.
And when I die, my passing away shall
be good for you.
Your deeds will be shown to me.
And whatever good I see, I will praise
Allah.
And whatever bad I see, I will ask
Allah to forgive you.
This hadith is narrated by the Bazaar, peace
and blessings be upon him.
So no one praised Allah unconditionally like our
Prophet did, peace and blessings be upon him.
And he is the Hamid, the one who
praises Allah in the way that he is
deserving to be praised.
And so he praised Allah, peace and blessings
be upon him, just as there were certain
servants that he would praise.
And that our Prophet would use praise of
people to encourage people to do more.
Not for them to become deluded, but in
order to encourage them to do more.
To show that what they are doing is
the right thing.
And they would receive this praise from the
Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, which
they indicated this was a good thing to
do.
To draw near to the Lord and it
would cause them to do more.
It would give them hope.
And from the blessing of his radiant praise
that came from the most pure heart in
existence, they would be protected from the negative
aspects of what could come with praise.
And he praises our good actions before Allah.
So think about it.
Our actions are shown to him, peace and
blessings be upon him.
Our actions are shown to him.
How is the best of creation when our
actions are shown to him?
That in and of itself is enough for
us not to do wrong.
Do we really want a wrong action to
be shown to the best of creation?
May Allah forgive us.
Do we really want to hurt the heart
of our Prophet, peace and blessings be upon
him, who cares so much about us?
As opposed to doing good.
When he sees good, he thanks Allah.
He praises Allah, peace and blessings be upon
him, when we do good.
And then his name, peace and blessings be
upon him, is Mahmood.
He is praised because Allah praises him.
So Mahmood praised one.
As do his servants.
So Allah praises him as do servants of
Allah.
He was known as Mahmood in the Psalms
of David, peace and blessings be upon him.
And in the Torah, according to Muhammad al
-Mahdi al-Fasi, his commentator on the Day
of Judgment, some scholars have stated that he
is known by this name in the heavens.
And that our Prophet, peace and blessings be
upon him, has what is known as Al
-Maqam al-Mahmood, the praiseworthy station.
And there's a hadith in Bukhari that says,
that everybody will, on the Day of Judgment,
be on their knees.
Every ummah will follow its prophet.
That they will address their prophets and ask
them to intercede for them.
And that it was repeated twice.
Until the intercession that comes to the Prophet,
peace and blessings be upon him.
He says, This is the day that Allah
will raise him to the praiseworthy station.
And then in a much longer hadith, is
the hadith that we've all heard about what's
going to transpire on the Day of Judgment.
And they will go to the various prophets,
until they come to the Prophet Muhammad, peace
and blessings be upon him, will then be
granted intercession.
And in the narration of this hadith in
Bukhari, This verse was recited.
That perhaps your Lord is going to raise
you to a praiseworthy station.
So the Maqam al-Mahmood is the praiseworthy
station where everybody who's ever lived will know,
the station of Sayyidina Muhammad with the Lord
of the Heavens and the Earth.
And everybody will want his intercession.
And, This is the praiseworthy station that Allah
has promised your Prophet, peace and blessings be
upon him, and we've been given a practical
way to receive the blessing of him receiving
the Maqam al-Mahmood, although Allah has already
guaranteed it to him by us making du
'a for him.
Whoever says, when they hear the Adhan, we're
about to hear the Adhan shortly.
This is also in Bukhari.
And grant him the praiseworthy station that you
have promised him.
What happens if he says, This person will
receive the intercession of our Prophet, peace and
blessings be upon him, on the Day of
Judgment.
So his name is, one of his blessed
names, peace and blessings be upon him, is
Mahmood.
Peace and blessings be upon him and his
family.
