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
You will become so incredible
And crazily popular
That people will wonder
What happened to this man
How come he is so popular
Because he is like Muhammad
We ask Allah SWT
To open our eyes
To this great wealth
This great treasure that he gave us
And the name of the treasure is
Muhammad Mustafa
And to take full advantage of this
And use this treasure
To make our lives beautiful
In this world
And in the next inshaAllah
Fatiha
