Auto-generated transcript:In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. All praise belongs to Allah, Lord of the worlds.
And peace and blessings be upon the honour of the Prophets and Messengers.
Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him,
with a lot of peace and blessings.
And then, dear brothers and sisters in Islam,
Allah Almighty said in another verse,
My brothers and sisters,
Allah revealed in the Qur'an many ayats
in praise of His Nabi Muhammad
defining his status,
defining his honourable status,
and his honourable position before Allah.
But in this ayat of Surah Al-Ahzab,
which all of us know,
Allah mentioned specifically and He said,
Verily, Allah and His Malaik and His Angels
send their blessings on the Messenger
and then He commanded,
Ya ayyuha allatheena aafi,
Ya ayyuha allatheena aamanu,
Whenever you hear or read this phrase in the Qur'an,
Ya ayyuha allatheena aamanu,
O you who believe,
this precedes a command of Allah.
Whatever comes after Ya ayyuha allatheena aamanu
is an Amr of Allah.
It's a command of Allah.
It's a Hukm of Allah.
And Allah is saying,
Ya ayyuha allatheena aamanu,
Sallu alaihi,
Ya ayyuha allatheena aamanu,
You also send blessings on him.
Wasallimu taslima.
And when you greet him,
you say, Assalamu alaikum.
The beauty of the Sahaba
and one of the many ways in which the Sahaba
differed from us
is that the Sahaba did not invent,
the Sahaba did not imagine,
the Sahaba did not use,
their intelligence to discover or to figure out
what to do in a situation
where Allah commanded something.
When Allah commanded something,
the Sahaba went to the Rabbi alayhi salam and said,
this is the command of Allah,
what shall we do?
They did not invent something on their own.
Allah said,
they did not say,
okay, fine, khalas.
I will decide what is Salah.
No, they went to the Prophet,
what must I do?
Allah is saying,
I'm ready.
And so on and so on.
So in this case,
Allah says,
Send Salam on the Rabbi alayhi salatu wasalam.
So the Sahaba did not just stand up
and start reciting Ghanasheed and Ghazal
and Hamd and Sana.
They did not start reciting Naat.
They did not put their hand on their chest
on the right or the left.
And they did not say,
they didn't start in this or that.
They didn't start in that direction.
And they did not say,
As-salatu as-salamu alayka ya Rasulullah.
They didn't say any of this.
They did not say anything.
They went to the Rabbi alayhi salam and said,
Ya Rasulullah,
this is what Allah is commanding.
What shall we do?
Please teach us.
Al-inna.
And Rasulullah taught them what we know
as the Dhurud Ibrahim,
which we recite in the Tasha ul-Masjid.
After Ad-Diyat.
Abu Muhammad Ka'b min Ujra
reported,
Rasulullah came to us and we asked him,
Ya Rasulullah,
we already know how to greet you.
Meaning,
As-salamu alaykum.
But how should we send Salat wa Salam on you?
How do we send Dua on you?
How do we send blessings?
And he said,
Say,
Allahumma salli ala Muhammadin wa ala aali Muhammadin
Kama salli ta'ala Ibraham.
Wa ala aali Ibrahima.
Innaka habidun Majeed.
Allahumma barika ala Muhammadin wa ala aali Muhammadin.
Kama barikta'a ala Ibrahima.
Wa ala aali Ibrahima.
Innaka habidun Majeed.
He said,
O Allah,
exhort the mansion of Muhammad
and the family of Muhammad
as you exhorted Ibrahim
and the family of Ibrahim .
You are the praised and the glorious.
O Allah, bless Muhammad .
And the family of Muhammad
and the family of Ibrahim ,
and you are the praised and glorious.
And this is a Hadith
in Bukhari and Muslim.
Uba ibn Kaab ,
Radi gia Allah .
He said,
I said I asked."
ya Rasulullah
Now the question is
how many Salat
do you send to your Prophet .
So this is a beautiful Hadith
about Uba ibn Kaab
He said,
ya Rasulullah ,
I look at your meal,
Send a great deal of blessings on you meaning. I decide to rule many times a day
I said salat and salam on many times a day
How much of this of my dua meaning?
I also make dua to Allah for different things that need and so on how much of this total dua should
Comprise of sending salat and salam on you
He said whatever you wish
So I said one quarter
So total dua that I make in the day one quarter of that should it be sending salat and salam on you
He said whatever you wish but if you do better that if you do more that will be better for you
And see the words he's not saying it's better for me
Because whatever you do or not do how can it be better with Allah already did it?
The Malayka already did it no matter what you do is not going to exceed that
So he says
Should I give a quarter spend a quarter of the time sending salat and salam on you and which was all of said
Whatever you wish
But if you do more that will be better for you, then he said one half
He said whatever you do, whatever you like and if you do more that will be better for you
He said two thirds and he said Salah Salem. Whatever you wish and
If you do more
That will be better for you. So cabin
Waving cup for the alarm. I says I said I will make all of my dua for you meaning
I will only do the rules. I will only recite salat and salam on you and
Rasulullah said then
Your concerns will be taken care of and your sins will be forgiven
He said if you do that
Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala will grant everything Allah knows anyway
What do I need to inform Allah about and this is a say hadith in Tirmidhi
So he said if you do that all your concerns cares will be taken care of and your sins will be forgiven
The Dhruv on abhishek salam is the only the car
For which Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala promised to send salat and salam on the one making it no other zikr
says one Allah Allah
Allah Allah
There is a reward for this and Allah no doubt about that
but the only thing for which
we have the
Hadith Abdullah ibn al-Aas
Radha laan huma he reported he said I heard Rasulullah saying whoever makes dua to Allah to exalt my mention
Meaning the Dhruv meaning salat and salam
Allah will exalt his mention
Allah will send salam on that person
and he will say Allah is the one who will exalt his mention
And he will do the Zikr 10 times for every one time he does for me and he will remove from him 10 sins and
He will raise him 10 degrees Dharajat will be raised 10 degrees and this is him. Say Muslim, right?
only the cover for law
In which not only does Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala respond by last year I will respond
ten times to everyone time
that Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said,
the people who will be nearest to me
on the day of resurrection,
on the day of judgment,
will be those who made dua
to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
most often for me,
which refers to the
durood and Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
And this is in the Dirmidhi.
Imam Nawawi Rahmatullahi Ali
in the commentary on this,
he said, nearest to me
means those who will be most entitled
to my intercession.
We ask Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
to grant us
the intercession of the Rasul
Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam on the day
when no one will be able to intercede
except the one who Allah permits.
Abu Hurairah, Radhi Allahu Anhu,
he mentions
in the Hadith
concerning Ramadan,
which is in Ibn-i Ibn-i Ibn-i Ibn,
the Hadith,
he said,
Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
ascended the mimbar and he said Ameen three times. The Sahaba when he finished
his Qutba he came down and the Sahaba may Allah bless them for the questions they
used to ask because that is how we have our Deen. The Sahaba said Ya Rasulullah
you ascended the mimbar and you said Ameen, Ameen, Ameen three times. Why? He
said Jibreel came to me and he said if Ramadan comes and a person is
not forgiven he will enter Jahannam and Allah will cast him far away say Ameen
so I said Ameen. What does it mean? It means Allah forgives everybody in Ramadan.
So you say Ramadan comes and the person is not forgiven meaning what? Meaning that
person did not do anything in Ramadan for forgiveness. He did not fast, he did
not give charity, maybe he did not pray, maybe he did all kinds of evil. So people
who have misused the month, Allah swt will ask Allah to
give them forgiveness.
Grant us Ramadan in good health and Iman and with the ability to use it to the best of our ability
and we ask Allah to forgive all our sins, Alhamdulillah, InshaAllah.
But if somebody is not in that situation, may Allah have mercy on those people.
I have heard somebody say, I am sorry, I cannot fast because I have to go to the gym.
Go to the gym, no problem.
Burst the same, right?
Whether the muscle is 3 inches or 30 inches, burns the same.
Go to the gym.
And there are people who are professional athletes who not just go to the gym,
they are playing on the soccer field, fasting.
It's a question of Iman, it's not a question of your physical strength,
it's a question of your Iman, your Yaqeen and Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
So these people have become the hujja against those who say,
I have got to go to the gym because I get weak.
You get weak, what about that guy?
He thought it was just Saya, but he Hatham Schutz who said,
if they become weak like this,
Why Iman, Hatham, Hatham says,
Then he was like,
That is why Look hafiz,
He said,
Now capricious,
Corruption of family members.
They will grow gay,
And they will go to shut up the school,
That was the thing,
Corruption and separate path.
That was complete.
if one or both are alive and you do not honor them,
remember, he's not saying parents who are Muslim.
Even if they're not Muslim,
to honor the parents is from the Ahkam-e-Sharia.
It is from the law of this religion,
no matter what the parents is.
No matter if your parent,
if you think your parent is a good person or a bad person,
that's not your job.
Don't sit in judgment on your father or mother.
That's not your job.
Let Allah do that.
You make dua for them.
Your job, do dua for them.
Serve them.
Be good to them.
The third thing he said,
Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam,
and he said, Jibreel Sallam said,
if you, O Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam,
are mentioned in a person's presence
