Listen "Importance of the Seerah"
Episode Synopsis
Auto-generated transcript:In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
And we praise Allah, the Lord of the worlds.
We praise Him and we greet His noble Messenger.
And what is next?
Allah said,
Allah and His angels greet the Prophet.
O you who believe, greet him and greet him with a greeting.
O Allah, greet our Master Muhammad and the family of Muhammad,
as you greeted Ibrahim and the family of Ibrahim.
You are the Most Glorious.
O Allah, greet our Master Muhammad and the family of Muhammad,
as you greeted Ibrahim and the family of Ibrahim.
You are the Most Glorious.
My dear respected brothers, sisters, elders,
and that one of the malaika was standing there trying to put a musalla.
MashaAllah, may Allah bless you and keep you always,
raise your darajat and keep you always in special protection, inshaAllah.
We are gathered here today, Alhamdulillah,
to do what is perhaps the most important activity
that a Muslim can do in his life or her life,
other than the fara'id which Allah has made for them.
And that is to learn about the blessed life of Muhammad,
peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,
and the blessed life of his family and companions.
It is the haqq of Rasulullah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,
that every time his name is mentioned,
every time you say Rasulullah,
or every time you say Muhammad,
that at least we say,
peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,
and if you say more, Alhamdulillah,
but at least this much.
This is his right and therefore,
you must do it, you don't need to do it loudly,
but for yourself.
And remember that when we do this,
it is not that we are doing a favor to the Rasul ,
we are doing a favor to ourselves.
Because when a person,
as we know from the hadith,
Rasul said that when a person sends salam on me,
sends dhruud on me,
Allah sends salam on that person ten times.
Ten times for every single time that we send salam on him,
peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,
and upon him and upon his family and companions.
And this is the most important thing.
And the most important thing is that
we are not doing a favor to the Prophet ,
but to the Prophet .
The reason I say that this is the most important
activity is because
just now we heard the Tilawat of the Quran.
Alhamdulillah.
May Allah bless the Shaykh.
May Allah
illuminate his life
with the Quran.
May Allah illuminate his Qalb with the Quran.
May Allah keep the Quran
firm in his heart
and may he be the means by which
the Quran and the love of the Quran
is spread across the world
to everybody who comes into contact
with him in every way.
If Allah had wished,
Allah could have sent
Jibreel
to come
and stand on top of the Kaaba
and recite the Quran
to the people.
Jibreel could have come in his
true form
or he could have come in the form
of a human being
or he could have come
in any form that Allah pleased
and he could have recited the Quran
to the people of Makkah.
This was perfectly possible
for Allah to do.
It was perfectly possible
for Allah for example to send
the Quran al-Kareem
in the form of a book
one for each of the residents of Makkah.
And don't tell me they didn't have paper in those days
and printing press. That doesn't matter. Allah is Allah.
So Allah
could have done this.
Or Allah could have sent His Kalam
to this world in any
way or form that He pleased.
But Allah did not do any of that.
Allah said
Allah said
Allah said He sent
Al-Furqan, which is the Quran
to His slave.
Abdeehee.
So the Kalam of Allah came
to Muhammad Rasulullah
.
We say and we should say
that Allah sent the Kitab to
us and He sent the Kitab
Qudal-e-Nas for the Hidayah
to everyone. But the person who received
the Kitab of Allah
is Muhammad
Mustafa
.
And this is the great Hikmah of Allah .
The Hikmah of Allah
is that He did not send the Quran
to an Angel.
He did not send the Quran
in the voice of an Angel.
He did not send the Quran
to a Malik to walk in the streets
and recite to the people.
Because Allah
sent the Quran
for two reasons.
And we praise Allah, the Lord of the worlds.
We praise Him and we greet His noble Messenger.
And what is next?
Allah said,
Allah and His angels greet the Prophet.
O you who believe, greet him and greet him with a greeting.
O Allah, greet our Master Muhammad and the family of Muhammad,
as you greeted Ibrahim and the family of Ibrahim.
You are the Most Glorious.
O Allah, greet our Master Muhammad and the family of Muhammad,
as you greeted Ibrahim and the family of Ibrahim.
You are the Most Glorious.
