[Laughter] H [Laughter] H Allahar ill alhamdulillah m M beloved brothers and sisters in Islam I begin recommending for you but firstly for my own sinful self to have the proper regard the proper Consciousness and the proper awe of Allah meaning having tawa for him and heel commanded in his clear book oh you who
Believe have tawa for Allah and be with the truthful people which also carries the meaning and also you amongst strive to be truthful yourselves keep company with the truthful and you yourselves be truthful and heel said in his book The Believers about one Brotherhood they’re one fraternity so make peace and reconcile
Matters between your brothers and have tawa for Allah in order that you may receive more of his Mercy this month RAB the first spring a number of historical events took place in this month and the two most important of course is in this month Muhammad was
Born and then also this is the month of Hijra in which entered into the city that was known as Y and that city that was plagued by fever and disease through the Baraka of his arrival was freed of that of those calamities and those sicknesses and was then known as El
Medina the city in which the dean was established El Medina the enlightened city of very historical things in light of this we like to mention uh a point as it relates to his life and how we cultivate love for alhabib Al Mustafa first we know in a very well-known vigorously authenticated
Hadith came to our beloved Prophet sallallah alai wasallam one day and he said that I love you more than everything thing except for myself the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam looked at Omar and said no I swear by the one who holds my soul in his hand
No until I am more beloved to you than you are to your very own soul your very own life Essence Omar then came back and said and he said now W I swear by almighty God that you are more beloved to me than I am to myself now you’ve got it
Omar now you’ve obtained true e you’ve completed your e which is a testification of the E of so part of perfecting one’s faith is that should be more beloved to us than our very own soul our very own life Essence the sallallahu alaihi wasallam Allah subhana says this in his clear
Book and the prophet is closer to the Believers than they are to their own souls and another vigorously authenticated no slave truly believes he said until I am more I am more beloved to him than his own family all of his wealth in the entirety of humankind the entirety of humanity is
What he said is God’s appointed and the one that Almighty Allah loved the most and he s wasallam we love him because God loves him and also because he is the best of our human potential spiritually intellectually socially and politically he is the best of our human aspirations
Of anything that we could be to be in our most excellent state that was personified in alhabib Musta Muhammad hence we are Duty Bound By Faith to love him more than our desires and what our haah our Caprice inclines towards more than what our worldly appetites call us
Towards let’s look at those who perfected this and we can see this in his family and his honorable companions first we mention that this is also the month of Hijra of the Prophet Sall Al we know that he when he left along with him was his best friend abak
Sik when he left Medina when he left Mecca to go to Medina in this Hadith and this saying we see this embodied in the one who laid in the bed of the prophets s alhi wasallam and was willing to take the swords from qur because his beloved Sall
Al wasam was more beloved to him than his own self he was ready to take the swords and ready to give his life and of course this is a this is the embodiment of this Hadith that he says that none of you truly believes until I am more beloved to you
And then your own soul say Al one example another example a woman from B in fact we don’t even know her name she’s addressed in this particular event at she was called upon as oh mother of such and such this woman at oood her husband obtained martydom her son obtained martydom at
Oood her father I mean excuse me her husband and her son and her brother all obtained martyrdom and she had heard the rumor that something happened to alhabib sahu alai wasallam and she asked did something happened to Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam and she was told he’s fine
She’s like no take me to him I want to see him with my own eyes this woman from the from the companions may Allah be well pleased with her may Allah be well pleased with all the pious companions she saw him Sall Ali wasallam and she says that every
Calamity every Calamity everything that is bad after you you because you’re not hurt it is small aif it is small and is light even though she lost her husband even though she lost her son even though she lost her brother when she saw that was enough to keep her heart
Tranquil because for her it have been a greater MBA if the prophet was killed then her husband her son and her brother still being alive this is the Iman of zahaba third we know that bil left Medina after the passing of the Prophet Sall alaihi wasallam he was in sham Syria may Allah
Subh help our brothers and sisters in Syria he became Gravely ill S B and his wife was upset oh what a Calamity oh what a Calamity yeah below what a Calamity what a Calamity he said no happiness happiness for tomorrow I will be with my beloved Muhammad and his
Hisb not sadness not sadness happiness happiness because he wanted to be with his Habib s this is likes of the IM of how do we cultivate this love for abib s alhi wasallam it’s one thing to obey at or obedience is primarily based in right that there’s a promise of
Something that if you obey there’s a reward and if you disobey you get a there’s a threat there a threat of punishment right Allah says in the Quran whoever obeys the messenger most certainly has obeyed God this true true but is a matter of Love of following the prophet sallallah alai wasallam inwardly
And outwardly in the heart and in the tongue in the limbs and those things that he did and this is how we get Divine love say to the people oh Prophet if you love God then follow me then God will love you and forgive you of your
Sins it’s a matter of love this is a love thing it’s not a fear thing it’s not transactional it’s a love thing how do we cultivate this m and we should do it all throughout the year but just as Ramadan is Quran this is the month that we should
Be giving more time of reading many of our Scholars have said we read the sh the characteristics of the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam how did he look how did he walk how did he talk what type of foods did he eat the sahaba were so meticulous about
This Anis IB Malik who served him for 10 years even knew how many strands of gray hair he had to that extent we read about him how can you love someone that you know nothing about and the hakah of the matter is none knows the no no no one knows the
True reality of prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam except for his creator who created him and gave him that lofty m m in that sense no one truly knows the reality of except Allah subhah but we strive to learn about him to know him is to love him and to
Love him is to know him we can know all sorts of stats or or things about politicians people who who are actors and soap operas basketball players soccer players cricket players what about the statistics of we should be more acquainted with that so we read and
Sh and one of the Beauties about how we read this including the book that was revealed in the Quran Islam is the only Dean that has sad you can’t go to a Christian and say give me a senate of your priest or your pastor back to the old to to the New
Testament to the Bible go to someone who’s Jewish and say give me your Senate back to m it doesn’t exist the Quran and its different we have Scholars who learn from their teachers who learn from teachers who learn from their teachers who go back to the prophet’s family to the sahabah back
To was that even if we recite one Bowell wrong there’s people all over the world who will correct and his saying the Hadith that we have memorized these things and learned from our teachers and gotten e from teachers that have as aned from their teachers from their teachers
From their teachers that we have without a shadow of a doubt what the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam said what he did and what he silently affirmed or gave permission to through his Su through his silence this is a great no other Dean no other way has anything like this this is
One of the proofs of De Islam also my brothers and sisters in Islam as we conclude in this love when you love someone you remember them and this is of the benefits and of the secrets of what an U people say saying it often or we should keep our tongues moist especially
In because he encouraged this the s this upon Him frequently to strengthen our spiritual connection and to be with those believers who frequently remember those who remind you of his actions and this helps strengthen the love connection between us and our Habib and may Allah subhana wa ta’ala make us
Be of those who are connected to alh mustafam fit doing ald muhamed muham muham muham Alam Mbb Make this prayer with the Kure that this is your last prayer while living Allah [Applause] alhamd For him for Allah Sam Allah [Applause] abbar Allah abbar Allah allahar alhamdulillah Am Allahar allahar allahar allb allahar for Asam alayum everyone may Allah subhana
