Rights of Rasoolullahﷺ – 1

Auto-generated transcript:In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. We praise Him, we ask for His help, and we ask for His forgiveness. And we believe in Him and we trust in Him. And we seek refuge in Allah from the evil of our souls and from the evil of our hopes. Whom Allah guides, there is no one who is misguided from Him. And whosoever He guides, there is no one who is misguided from Him. And we bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and that there is no partner for Him. And we bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and His messenger. May Allah send him the truth, the good news and the warning. May Allah send him the truth, the good news and the warning. May Allah send him the truth, the good news and the warning. Parents have rights on us, children, employers, employees, the nation you live in, right? The environment, everything has rights on us. But the most important, the most critical rights on us are two, and that is the rights of Allah and the rights of Rasulullah. And the rights of Rasulullah. It is the right of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala that only the right of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala that only He should be worshipped without partners because only He is worthy of worship and He has no partners. This is the right of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. And if anyone does not fulfill that right, then this person will answer to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala for not fulfilling that right. The rights of Rasulullah are seven. One is adab wa ihtiram. An attitude of utmost respect. Respect and honour. Two is itaat. To obey Him without question. Three is ittiba. To follow Him and emulate Him in every way. Four is muhabbah. To love Him above all things and everyone else. Five is the right of His Ahlul Bayt. Six is his family. To honour and respect. Them when we honour and respect the Rasul . Six is nusrat. To help him sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in every way which means to help his deen and the propagation of his message. And number seven is to accept his judgement in all matters without any resistance either verbal or even in the heart. And inshallah this Jumu'ah, and inshallah this Jumu'ah, and next Jumu'ah, we will look at these rights. Allah called the coming of the Messenger even the sending of the Rasul Allah called it his great favour on the Muslims. Allah said لَقَدْ مَنَّ اللَّهُ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِذْ بَعْسَ فِيهِمْ رَسُولًا مِّنْ أَنفُسِهِمْ يَتْلُوْا عَلَيْهِمْ آيَاتِهِ وَيُزَكِّهِمْ وَيُعَلِّمُهُمُ الْكِتَابَ وَالْحِكْمَةِ وَإِن كَانُوا مِنْ قَوْلُهُ لَفِي طَلَالٍ مُبِينٍ Allah said which means indeed Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala conferred a great favour on the believers when He sent among them a Messenger Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم from among themselves reciting unto them his ayat which is the Quran and purifying them which is تَسْكِيَةُ النَّفْسِ وَتَرْبِيَةُ الْأَخْلَاكِ internal and external purification and instructing them in the Kitab, the Quran and Al-Hikmah which is his Sunnah while before that they had been in clear and manifest error Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala drew our attention to the Rasul ﷺ and said وَعَلَمُوا أَنَّا فِيكُمْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَوْ يُطِعُكُمْ فِي كَثِيرٍ مِّنَ الْأَمْرِ لَعَنِيْتُمْ وَلَكِنَّ اللَّهَ حَبَّبَ إِلَيْكُمُ الْإِيمَانَ وَزَّلْهُمْ مِنْهُمْ وَزَيَّنَهُ فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ وَكَرَّهَ إِلَيْكُمُ الْكُفْرَ وَالْفُسُوقَ وَالإِسْيَانَ أُولَئِكَ هُمُ الْرَاشِدُونَ Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala said and know take note of this fact understand and know that among you there is the Messenger of Allah if he were to obey you meaning that if he cared for your opinions and desires and if he spoke in a way with the intention that he should please you and he should attract you and if he spoke the truth you will run away sound familiar right all of this is the pressure people put on Imams don't speak the truth speak in a way which will attract people agree with people if they do haram keep quiet don't say it is haram right people do this all the time either directly or indirectly this is the pressure on the Imams Allah is saying the opposite Allah is saying if the Rasool fera listened to all of this and know that among you there is the Messenger of Allah if he were to obey you follow your opinions and desires in much of the matter you would be in trouble you would surely be in trouble not that... not the Nabi Allah is saying you would be in trouble but Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has endeared the faith to you and has beautified it in you and all of this in a way that is most important to God and to all human beings your hearts and has made disbelief and wickedness and disobedience to allah and messenger hateful to you these are the rightfully guided ones people who obey allah and his rasool not people who obey their own desires and then demand that whoever is in is in the authority or office must confirm to what they like as i mentioned earlier many times allah subhanahu wa ta'ala created an entire generation who loved allah rasulullah who loved him and followed him in excellence and preserved everything he said and did as an example to follow for themselves and those who came after them it is important to reflect on the fact that both the quran and its explanation the hadith came from rasulallah sallallahu alaihi both are narrated by him both were heard by the hadith came from rasulallah sallallahu alaihi both are narrated by him both were heard by the the hadith came from rasulallah sallallahu alaihi both were heard by him both were heard by the sahaba in his voice both are necessary for us to practice and live by islam that is why allah subhanahu wa ta'ala created an entire generation of the sahaba who performed his great service for all time and who are witnesses before allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to their own truthfulness and dedication after them came others who were equally dedicated and loved allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and the people of the quran the early generations and they dedicated their lives the taba in the tabata to preserving islam in word meaning and spirit and dedicated their entire lives to collecting validating and codifying the teachings of rasulullah the key principle in all this is that it was done by people who were interested in practicing islam not people who want to change it to suit their own whims and fancies and there lies the reason for this corruption of mind and spirit which finds nothing contradictory in making the false claim that only the words of the quran were preserved not their meaning or explanation or instructions or how the orders are to be carried out people who deny the hadith of the quran and the hadith of the quran are not the ones who are curios about this and i will surely present several of the hastigas which you are heard on their ownинг in the quran про questo a Rasulullah Salih and grasr islam my brothers and sisters ёр culture or nationality we might belong to. This is the togetherness and the cohesion of the Ummah of Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, which makes us one with those who Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala called as sabiqoon al-awwaloon, the first of the first, and promised Jannah to them and to those who follow them in excellence until the day of judgment is established. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala said, wa sabiqoon al-awwaloon minal muhajireena walansari wal-ladheena taba'oom bi-ihsan radiallahu anhum wa radu anhu wa a'adda lahum jannatin tajree tahtaha lanharu khalidina fiha abada dhalikal fawzu al-azim. Allah said, which means, and the first to embrace Islam of the muhajirun and the ansar, and also those who followed them exactly. In faith, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala in his infinite mercy kept that door open until the day of judgment for anyone who wants to follow the Sahaba, not for anyone who wants to follow his Sheikh or to follow his culture or to follow Saudi Arabia or to follow something else. No, people who want to follow the Sahaba, as-sabiqoon al-awwaloon minal muhajireena wal-ansari. Right, we have this argument every time. When shall we have Eid? We are following Saudi. Find that for me in the Quran. Find that for me in the Hadith. That you are supposed to follow Saudi. I'm giving you the dalil, and that's the ayah where Allah is saying, follow the Sahaba, as-sabiqoon al-awwaloon. See what they did. This religion came to be practiced. So Allah is saying, people who do that, who practice in excellence, Allah is pleased with them. And they are pleased with Allah. RadhiAllahu anhu wa radhman. And He has prepared for them gardens under which rivers flow to dwell therein forever. And that is supreme success. I ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to include us among them. My brothers and sisters, this choice to follow the Rasool alaihi salatu was salam and the Sahaba must be made today. Must be made now. And this choice to follow the Rasool alaihi salatu was salam and the Sahaba must be made today. Must be made now. Not tomorrow, not day after, not after we die. Because when we die, that is when the time for accounting starts. There's no time for it. There's no opportunity to choose. The opportunity to choose is here. Therefore adab is the first step. Respect for the Rasool alaihi salatu was salam is the first step. Adab is the first step in knowledge, as well as in reaching Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala told us how to address the Messenger salallahu alaihi salam. And how to behave with him. And what would happen if we did not do that. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala said in Surah Al-Hujurat, the first two ayat. Ya ayyuha allatheena amanu laa tuqaddimu bayna yadeeillahi warasoolihi wa attaqool laah inna allaha sami'un alim. Ya ayyuha allatheena amanu laa tarfa'u waswatakum fawqa sawti al-nabiyy. Ya tajharu lahu bilqawli kajahri ba'dikum li ba'd an tahbata a'malukum wa antum laa tash'uroon. See this ayah, how hard this ayah is. How tough this ayah is. Allah says, O you who believe, do not put yourself forward before Allah and His Messenger. Do not take a step before Allah and His Messenger.
