Questions #3 – What do you say about the man who was sent among you

Auto-generated transcript:My brothers and sisters, we are looking at the third question from the questions of the grave. And the first question was, who is your Rabb? And the second question was, what is your Deen? And the third question is, what do you say about the man who was sent among you? And the answer, of course, is that we say that he was the Rasul of Allah, sallallahu alayhi wasallam, and that we followed him. And then the question will be asked, what did you do? And the answer to that is, I read the Quran. And I believed in it. And I lived according to it. As I remind myself and you again and again, the issue is not knowing these answers now and repeating them or memorizing them and repeating them, but living our life in a way where these answers will come out. But starting withیا. And this was a Milanese. And I am going to start from Iran, now that I have opened this book to you, but I want to start from the person who sent me the question to ask and to tell you a discussion, because I know I must tell you the matter. Alright? Please do comment if you want. Okay. In this regard, we are also cloudy with our camp. Yay! Yay! Yeah. God bless you His Majesty. This is wonderful idea. Do it, boy. Shukar pard naya Jin. See if you didn't get this answer as well. Another said, the answer we know. He was the Rasool of Allah and I followed him. Question to ask ourselves is, is that the truth? Is that the truth? See in life, there are different kinds of ways in which we love the things around us. We love our parents, we love our children, we love the place we live in, we love our language, we love our culture, many things we love. And there is nothing like Allah , but we also love Allah and His Messenger . Now, all the different ways. Things that we love, each love has a requirement, there is a takhaza. The way you love your wife is not the same way you love your mother. You love both of them. But you love your wife in a different way, you love your mother in a different way. You love your wife by being good to her, kind to her, by taking care of her needs and so on and fulfilling her needs. You love your mother by serving her. And there is a difference between taking care of and serving. Today, our problems are because we, for our own self, we flipped it. So we take care of the mothers and we serve the wife. Then we complain. The question is, Allah gave us, we love our children. What is the meaning of loving the children? We also love our cats. We love our cats. We love our cats. We love our cats. We love our cats. We love our cats. We love our cats. We love our cats. We also love our cats or dogs or birds or whatever you keep, pets. Is there a difference between how you love a pet and how you love your child? In most places, there is not. The same, we do the same thing. Feed it. Make sure it is dry. Make sure it is warm. Make sure it is healthy. My job is over. Job is not over. Job is not, that is a job over for the pet, for the cat. for the child. For the child, the job is the tarbiyah of the child. Loving your children means that you will spend time with the children, tarbiyah of the children, training their children, teaching their children, teaching their children not to, while the khatir is going on, not to sit in the masjid with their back to the wall, scrolling on your phones. This is part of the tarbiyah of children. If you are not doing that, it means that you have not done the tarbiyah of the children. So taking care of children means tarbiyah of the children. Taking care of parents means serving the parents. Right? So what is the meaning of loving Allah and loving his Nabi alayhi salatu wasalam? Loving Allah is not simply to say, I love Allah. It's not simply to sing, you know, anasheed, hams of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. A nice voice. That is not love of Allah. That is nice to have. If you do it, you know how to do it, do it. I'm not saying it's haram. It's not haram. But love of Allah is obedience of Allah. Complete and total submission, umudiyat. Umudiyat is the sign of love of Allah and umudiyat is only and only to Allah. There is no umudiyat of anybody else. You cannot have umudiyat of the king or of, you know, of the king. You cannot have umudiyat of the king or of the queen. You cannot have umudiyat, you know, whoever. Only to Allah. So love of Allah is expressed by umudiyat, by complete obedience to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. Love of Rasul alayhi salatu wasalam is expressed by the itiba of the Rasul alehi salatu wasalam. So itaat is for both, Allah and Rasul. Itiba is for the Rasul alayhi salam. Because you cannot make itiba of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. Itiba is emulation, is to be like him, walk like him, talk like him, and so on. cannot be applied to Allah. Only to the Rasool a.s. Ittiba of the Rasool. This is the it's not again it's not the question of saying oh I am the Ashiq of the Rasool and you know Rasool is no. It's not about celebrating one day Mawlood Milad whatever you want to call it Eid Milad that is not even shown in the first place. But that's not the way of expressing the love for the Rasool a.s. The way of expressing love for Rasool a.s. is to study his Seerah and then to apply that Seerah in our lives. I will eat like he used to eat. I will walk like he used to walk. I will treat my family like he used to treat his family. I will do whatever he used to do I will do it because I love him. I want to show my love for him a.s. by being like him. And when you do that what happens? Allah SWT said قُلْ إِن كُنْتُمْ تُحِبُّونَ اللَّهَ فَاتَّبِعُونِي يُهْبِبْكُمُ اللَّهُ وَيَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ ذُنُومَكُمْ وَاللَّهُ غَفُرٌ وَرَحِيبٌ In Surah Al-A'raf Allah SWT said Say to those who claim to love Allah SWT فَاتَّبِعُونِي Allah did not say فَعْتِعُونِيكُ The Itaat of the Rasool is mentioned many many times وَمَن يُعْتِعِ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ فَقَدْ فَازَ فَوْزًا نَاظِبًا Only the one who obeys Allah and His Messenger will be the finally success Fawz is final success after the Fawz there is no other exam there is no other test So who is Fawz? Who is finally successful? فَقَدْ فَازًا مَا هُوَ مَنْ أَتَى اللَّهَ وَرَسُولًا مَنْ But beyond the obedience there is اِتِّبَى there is emulation Emulation is a sign of love Emulation is to be like a person Like today we emulate sports stars or film stars or something You have a haircut like so and so You wear clothes like so and so This icon, that icon Allah SWT is saying forget all that Be like my Nabi Be like my Nabi In every way Right? Be like him Do what he used to do Look like him Walk like him Dress like him Talk like him Behave like him And if you do that What will happen? With the first Allah said you will be successful Okay, exam successful With this one Allah said Allah will love you Allah will love you Allah will love you You will love Allah That is even beyond success How do you describe If Allah loves you What has it been? What happens to the Dua of the one who Allah loves? There is no doubt Inshallah Accept it 100% Allah loves him How do we get there? By making the Ittiba of Rasulullah SAW So obeying him Totally and completely And then going a step forward and Imitating him and emulating him And being like him Because we love him He is your standard He is my standard And we live our lives like him And when we do that The reward of that is That Allah will love you Now imagine You are in your akhwar The angel is asking What do you say about the man who Was said among you And you say He is my Rasool A.S. I loved him and I followed him And Nabi SAW said There is a long Hadith Very beautiful like this Nabi SAW said A voice will come From the heavens And Allah will say My slave has spoken the truth And Allah will say Furnish his qabar With the mafrushat of Jannah Make a bed for him Like the bed from Jannah And let him sleep In this bed And nobody will disturb him Until the day when he is called And a window will be opened And he will be shown The hellfire And they will say to him That could have been your place But you have been saved By Allah SWT And another window will be opened And he will be shown Jannah And they will say That will be your place You are getting Bashar of Jannah Right there The final point I want to say Before I close The beauty of the ittiba Of the Rasool SAW's Is We don't have to wait Until we get into the qabar To experience the beauty of that If you and I become like Rasool SAW Believe me We will become the most Influential The most beloved The most popular The most powerful people On the earth itself Just like people used to love him People will love you And if people love you They listen to you They obey you You don't have to fight with anybody They will follow you So all the stuff Which we like to have In this world We want popularity We will go on Facebook How many friends do I have All false friends There are no friends there But friends Social media has completely Destroyed our brains That's the problem But if you think about that The real way of getting friends Is become like Rasool Allah SAW Then people will get friends And people will run Will be around you Like they used to be around him He was so beloved That people used to be around him so much That Allah SWT revealed Quran To say leave him alone The ayat of Surah Al-Hazaab Allah SWT said If he calls you for a meal Don't go in the morning He says please come and have Asha with me Have dinner with me And you are standing there From Sadaqatul Fajar time No you called me for dinner Why are you here from Fajar time I want to be with you Rasool Allah Allah SWT is saying Leave him to his family He has time He has to have some free time Allah said he is too shy to tell you He is too polite to tell you I am telling you Right Imagine How much he was loved That Allah has to reveal Ayat to say Give him space He has his own You know personal needs I mean don't be in his face the whole time Give him space That is what will happen to us
