Love Rasulullah (Swallallahu Alaihi Wasllam) And Taste Your Iman

We have been ordered to love Rasulullah (swallallahu alaihi wasallam); as we have been instructed to obey him.

It is a love that should control our lives.

Nothing should be dearer After Allah- to our hearts than the Prophet (swallallahu alaihi wasallam)
.

 This is not simply a duty or deed!!But it is a ‘MUST ONE ’

                     How can you not love the Prophet Muhammad 

                          (swallallahu alaihi wasallam)

Allah says in Surah Taubah: 24

قُلْ إِن كَانَ آبَاؤُكُمْ وَأَبْنَآؤُكُمْ وَإِخْوَانُكُمْ وَأَزْوَاجُكُمْ وَعَشِيرَتُكُمْ وَأَمْوَالٌ اقْتَرَفْتُمُوهَا وَتِجَارَةٌ تَخْشَوْنَ كَسَادَهَا وَمَسَاكِنُ تَرْضَوْنَهَا أَحَبَّ إِلَيْكُم مِّنَ اللّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ وَجِهَادٍ فِي سَبِيلِهِ فَتَرَبَّصُواْ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ اللّهُ بِأَمْرِهِ وَاللّهُ لاَ يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الْفَاسِقِينَ

Say: If your fathers, your sons, your brothers, your wives, your kindred, the wealth that you have gained, the commerce in which you fear a decline, and the dwellings in which you delight . . . are dearer to you than Allah and His Messenger, and striving hard and striving  in His cause, then wait until Allah brings about His Decision (torment). And Allah guides not the people who are faasiqoon (rebellious, disobedient).” [al-Tawbah 9:]

Allah has clearly warned us and explained to us in the above that those who are not loving prophet more than all beloved ones are not among those who are guided.

The prophet (swallallahu alaihi wasallam) Says:

1-

Hazrat Anas (R.A.) states that Rasulullah (swallallahu alaihi wasallam) said:

لا يؤمن أحدكم حتى أكون أحب إليه من ولده ووالده والناس أجمعين

“None amongst you can be a complete believer if he does not love me more than his parents, children and the entire mankind.” (Bukhari)

2-

Once the prophet (saw) was holding the hand of 'Umar bin Al-Khattab.

'Umar said to Him, "O Allah's Messenger! You are dearer to me than everything except my own self."

The Prophet said,

"No, OH, Umar. By Him in Whose Hand my soul is, (you will not have complete faith) till I am dearer to you than your own self." 

Then 'Umar said to him, “Now, by Allah, you are dearer to me than my own self."

 The Prophet said, "Now, O 'Umar, (now you are a True believer)."
  (Bukhari)

Ways of Loving Rasulullah:

 1-

The love for Rasulullah covers the extreme internal love, 

the kind of love we feel to our beloved ones.

The Hadith reported by Imam Bukhari testifies this:

Umar ® says:

 During the period of the Prophet there was a man named 'Abdullah whose nickname was Donkey. He used to make Rasulullah to laugh.

 The Prophet had lashed him for many times for drinking (alcohol).

 And one-day he was taken to the Prophet on the similar charge and was beaten. On that, a man amid the people said, "O Allah, curse him! How often he has been brought up to Rasulullah (swallallahu alaihi wasallam) for the same sin to repeat!

“The Prophet said, do not Curse him, by Allah, I know that He loves Allah and his messenger. (Bukhari)

Rasulullah (Swallallahu alaihi wasallam) referred to the internal love because the man even did not avoid major sins in his life, still rasoolullah says that he loves Allah and His Rasul (swallallahu alaihi wasallam)

2-

Follow Sunnah –Tradition of Rasulullah (swallallahu alaihi wasallam):

We must follow the actions of our Nabi Muhammad Swallallahu alaihi wasallam) that is we must live according to the Sunnah of Rasulullah swallallahu alaihi wasallam).

Allah subhanahu wata-aala states in the Qur’an:

قل ان كنتم تحبون الله فاتبعوني يحببكم الله ويغفرلكم ذنوبكم

‘(O beloved!) Say, ‘O People! If you love Allah SWT, then follow me; Allah SWT will love you and forgive your sins…..’ (Surah Al-Imran)

Every Muslim is instructed to be follow Rasulullah (swallallahu alaihi wasallam) ‘s every order and to keep an eye on his instructions,

Allah says in the Qur’an: ‘Obey Allah and Obey the Messenger of Allah.’(4: 59)

‘Who so obeys the Messenger (swallallahu alaihi wasallam) has certainly obeyed Allah. (4: 80).

The prophet (swallallahu alaihi wasallam) says:

Whoever followed my Sunnah (my tradition) he has loved me.


Please do not say 'it is just  sunnah  only'.

Because ,Companions of Rasulullah (swallallahu alaihi wasallam) practised every sunnah ,because it is sunnah/tradition of Rasulullah (swallallahu alaihi wasallam).

Unfortunately ,we are differentiating between 'fard' and sunnah to avoid sunnahs in life just on the 'reason' of Sunnah (we seek refuge from that).

If we undermine any sunnah ,it si a big sin also...

3- Please send swalawat on prophet:

      Benefits of sending salawat to Prophet(swallallahu alaihi wasallam)                                             

Allah says in the Qur’an:

ان الله وملائكته يصلون على النبي يا أيها الذين آمنوا صَلُّوا عَلَيْهِ وَسَلِّمُوأ تَسْلِيْمًا

 ‘Indeed, Allah and His angels send blessings on Nabi Muhammad Swallallahu alaihi wasallam.

O, you who believe! Send upon him blessings and salute Him wholly well adequately”. (Surah Al-Ahzaab, Verse 56)

Rasulullah (swallallahu alaihi wasallam) has said:

‘The person who reads swalawat upon him once shall receive 10 blessings from Allah SWT.

And he also said: The closest person to me on the Day of Judgment is the one who is doing more swalawat on me.

                        Bring Rasulullah (swallallahu alaihi wasallam) to our homes 

Rewards of Loving and following  Rasulullah (swallallahu alaihi wasallam)

1-

Allah will forgive our sins, and he will rise our status. He also will increase in our good deeds. 

Besides this we will get closer to Allah and we will be awarded with the pleasure of the prophet (swallallahu alaihi wasallam) 

and we will be honoured by his shafa-a' (intercession on the Day of Judgment).Our wishes related to the both worlds.

May I highlight two..

1-

Sweetness of Iman and companionship of Rasulullah (swallallahu alaihi wasallam)

Anas®says: The Prophet said, "Whoever possesses the following three qualities will have the sweetness (delight) of faith: 

1. The one to whom Allah and His Messenger are dearer than anything else.

2. Who loves a person and he loves him only for Allah.

3. Who dislikes to revert to the disbelief as he dislikes to be thrown into the fire" (Bukhari).

2-

Companionship with Rasoolullah in Jannah:

1-   Story: "You will be along with those whom you love!

A man asked the Prophet "When will the day of judgment be?" The Prophet said, "What have you prepared for it?" The man said, "Nothing, except that I love Allah and His messenger." The Prophet said, "You will be with those whom you love!!"

Anas ® Says:  We had never been as happy as we were on hearing these words of the Prophet (swallallahu alaihi wasallam).

Therefore, I love the Prophet, Abu Bakr and 'Umar, and I expect that I will be with them because of my love for them even though my deeds are not alike to their ones.
(Bukhari)
-----------------

 2-Story of Thauban (Raliyallahu Anhu) and Revelation Qur’anic verse in connection with:

‘Thauban (s’auban) A companion and freed slave for Rasoolullah (swallallahu alaihi wasallam), was seen by Rasulullah (swallallahu alaihi wasallam).

 The Prophet (swallallahu alaihi wasallam) said to him, `Why do I see you sad'

Then Thauban said:

`Now we can see you face to face. But after the death we will be missing you.Because your position in Jannah will be the highest. Min would be very low. How to get your closeness there…I am about that missing”

 The Prophet did not give any reply,

 It was at this occasion that Allah revealed this verse from Qur’an (Qur’an 4:69).

. وَمَن يُطِعِ اللَّهَ وَالرَّسُولَ فَأُوْلَـئِكَ مَعَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِم مِّنَ النَّبِيِّينَ وَالصِّدِّيقِينَ وَالشُّهَدَآءِ

 وَالصَّـلِحِينَ وَحَسُنَ أُولَـئِكَ رَفِيقا

 “And whoever obeys Allah and the Messenger – those will be along with the ones upon whom Allah has presented favour, of the prophets, the dedicated affirmers of truth, the martyrs and the virtuous people. And excellent are those as companions.”!!

How did Swahaba (RA) love Rasulullah (swallallahu alaihi wasallam)?

It is fully unique and compare less, that to see how companions of Rasulullah (swallallahu alaihi wasallam) loved Rasulullah (swallallahu alaihi wasallam).

-Every companion respected and loved him in the upper most level.

They considered everything for him as sacred.

They followed him in each step and respected everything belonged to Him.

All his words, actions and confirmations were recorded.

They were ready to follow whatever he ordered.

That is why the leader of Quraish Abusaufyan (before his acceptance of Islam) exclaimed about it saying: I never saw any body respecting somebody as Muhammad is being respected by his people!!

How the Companions Loved the Prophet

1

                                                                        2

                                                                       

                                                                  3    

Here I quote stories of two companions:

1-

Sayyiduna Bilal ®

A-

After the Prophet (swallallahu alaihi wasallam)'s death it became very tough for his dear companion Bilal (Ra) to stay in Madinah because he could n’t take his feeling of his missing for Rasulullah. In Madinah he only could stay with the companionship of Rasulullah (swallallahu alaihi wasallam).

S He left Madinah to Syria (sham), and decided to stay there for the rest of his life.

 Once he saw the Prophet: saw (swallallahu alaihi wasallam): in his dream saying to him:
"O, Bilal! How is it that you never visit me."

At once he set out for Madinah. It was during the khilafat of sayyiduna Umer ®

 On reaching in Madinah, he directly went to Rasulullah (swallallahu alaihi wasallam) and greeted 

him and conveyed his feelings.  

Then, Swahaba including Umer ® requested him to call azan.but he refused saying that he could do it only when Rasulullah (swallallahu alaihi wasallam) is with him.

Later grandsons of Rasulullah Hasan and Husain ® wished him to call out the Azan. He could not refuse them, for they were very dear to Rasulullah, flowers of Jannah, so Bilal ® respected them vey much….

But as soon as the Azan was started all medina people even the young girls came out to the street remembering the time of rasulullah,they cried and shouted in joy.

But, when Bilal ® reached at the second part of Kalima -ashhadu anna muhammadrrasoolaullah - and was stuck and suddenly lost his voice and cried out making all Madinah to cry and weep…Bilal could n’t continue and finish Azan.So,After few days He went back again to Syria.

                                                       

  Habib Ali Jifry Explains Bilal's  story -very emotional (with English subtitles)

B-

When Bilal ® was in his last moments of his life facing the death, his wife cried out in sadness, saying, oh my sorrow! O, my lose?

Then he replied, No, it is my pleasure..O, my pleasure! O, my joy. I am happy to meet Muhammad (swallallahu alaihi wasallam) and his people tomorrow (after my death).

2-

Ansari woman,Amazing story of  The true love..

During the Battle of Uhud,

 When an Ansari woman was told that her father, brother and husband had all died in the battle, she didn’t turn into bothered but rather continued to ask of Rasulullah(swallallahu alaihi wasallam), and after being stated that he was safe and sound, so too was she not satisfied.

It was only until she had seen Muhammad (swallallahu alaihi wasallam)’s face with her own two eyes that she exclaimed,

“When you are alive, all dangers are smaller for me.

                           Tree That Loved The prophet (swallallahu alaihi wasallam)   

                 

Conclusion:

Please keep Rasulullah (swallallahu alaihi wasallam) alive in your hearts. Love him above all, even our beloved ones.

Please follow his life in your life as much as possible. Please focus on that in every moment.

Then, please read more and more swalawat for him as Allah has required us.

And help his ummah and serve his religion.

Especially show your mercy to needy and poor people. because he has said 'look for me among the week and needy people' i.e. I love those who are in help for these...

Even Ibnu Theemiyya (fathaawa Ibnu Theemiyya) states that it is very recommended Because (1)it is reported from Swhaba -Companions of Rasulullah (2)The Mayyith  (disesed believer)  needs a reminder at this point and this reminder will benefit the Mayyith (3)

No doubt, Mayyith will listen even to the sounds of the slippers for those who are attending in funerals (4) Qur'an says: Give reminder,because reminder surely will benefit the believers)

سورة الزمر- آيات مفزعة لقلوب المؤمنين ,Heart Breaking Verses From Surah 'Zumar' - Qur'an

67. وَمَا قَدَرُوا اللَّهَ حَقَّ قَدْرِهِ وَالْأَرْضُ جَمِيعًا قَبْضَتُهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَالسَّمَاوَاتُ مَطْوِيَّاتٌ بِيَمِينِهِ سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ 

They made not a just estimate of Allah such as is due to Him. And on the Day of Resurrection the whole of the earth will be grasped by His Hand and the heavens will be rolled up in His Right Hand. Glorified is He, and High is He above all that they associate as partners with Him!

68. وَنُفِخَ فِي الصُّورِ فَصَعِقَ مَنْ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَنْ فِي الْأَرْضِ إِلَّا مَنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ ثُمَّ نُفِخَ فِيهِ أُخْرَى فَإِذَا هُمْ قِيَامٌ يَنْظُرُونَ 

And the Trumpet will be blown, and all who are in the heavens and all who are on the earth will swoon away, except him whom Allah will. Then it will blown a second time and behold, they will be standing, looking on (waiting).

69. وَأَشْرَقَتِ الْأَرْضُ بِنُورِ رَبِّهَا وَوُضِعَ الْكِتَابُ وَجِيءَ بِالنَّبِيِّينَ وَالشُّهَدَاءِ وَقُضِيَ بَيْنَهُمْ بِالْحَقِّ وَهُمْ لَا يُظْلَمُونَ 

And the earth will shine with the light of its Lord (Allah, when He will come to judge among men) and the Book will be placed (open) and the Prophets and the witnesses will be brought forward, and it will be judged between them with truth, and they will not be wronged.

70. وَوُفِّيَتْ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ مَا عَمِلَتْ وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يَفْعَلُونَ َ

And each person will be paid in full of what he did; and He is Best Aware of what they do.

71. وَسِيقَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا إِلَى جَهَنَّمَ زُمَرًا حَتَّى إِذَا جَاءُوهَا فُتِحَتْ أَبْوَابُهَا وَقَالَ لَهُمْ خَزَنَتُهَا أَلَمْ يَأْتِكُمْ رُسُلٌ مِنْكُمْ يَتْلُونَ عَلَيْكُمْ آيَاتِ رَبِّكُمْ وَيُنْذِرُونَكُمْ لِقَاءَ يَوْمِكُمْ هَذَا قَالُوا بَلَى وَلَكِنْ حَقَّتْ كَلِمَةُ الْعَذَابِ عَلَى الْكَافِرِينَ

 And those who disbelieved will be driven to Hell in groups, till, when they reach it, the gates thereof will be opened (suddenly like a prison at the arrival of the prisoners). And its keepers will say, "Did not the Messengers come to you from yourselves, reciting to you the Verses of your Lord, and warning you of the Meeting of this Day of yours?" They will say: "Yes, but the Word of torment has been justified against the disbelievers!"

72. قيلَ ادْخُلُوا أَبْوَابَ جَهَنَّمَ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا فَبِئْسَ مَثْوَى الْمُتَكَبِّرِينَ 

It will be said (to them): "Enter you the gates of Hell, to abide therein. And (indeed) what an evil abode of the arrogant!"

73. وَسِيقَ الَّذِينَ اتَّقَوْا رَبَّهُمْ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ زُمَرًا حَتَّى إِذَا جَاءُوهَا وَفُتِحَتْ أَبْوَابُهَا وَقَالَ لَهُمْ خَزَنَتُهَا سَلَامٌ عَلَيْكُمْ طِبْتُمْ فَادْخُلُوهَا خَالِدِينَ

  And those who kept their duty to their Lord will be led to Paradise in groups, till, when they reach it, and its gates will be opened (before their arrival for their reception) and its keepers will say: Salamun 'Alaikum (peace be upon you)! You have done well, so enter here to abide therein."

74. وَقَالُوا الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي صَدَقَنَا وَعْدَهُ وَأَوْرَثَنَا الْأَرْضَ نَتَبَوَّأُ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ حَيْثُ نَشَاءُ فَنِعْمَ أَجْرُ الْعَامِلِينَ

And they will say: "All the praises and thanks be to Allah Who has fulfilled His Promise to us and has made us inherit (this) land. We can dwell in Paradise where we will; how excellent a reward for the (pious good) workers!"

75. وَتَرَى الْمَلَائِكَةَ حَافِّينَ مِنْ حَوْلِ الْعَرْشِ يُسَبِّحُونَ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّهِمْ وَقُضِيَ بَيْنَهُمْ بِالْحَقِّ وَقِيلَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ

And you will see the angels surrounding the Throne (of Allah) from all round, glorifying the praises of their Lord (Allah). And they (all the creatures) will be judged with truth, and it will be said. All the praises and thanks be to Allah, the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists).

قدوة الصحابة رضي الله عنهم في محبته صلى الله عليه وسلم - الحبيب علي الجفري

                                           

                                                              

Fear Allah while we are Travelling through Cyber World in Internet Using ( FRIDAY SERMON-19/09/14-MUIS )

For those who are users of smart phones, have you imagined how it would be like if you do not have your phone with you for an entire day? 

Or imagine if you are unable to easily access your Facebook, or Twitter account, and cannot simply “update” your Facebook status for maybe several days.

 I am sure many of us here, if we have left our phones at home when we go out, we would actually turn back to retrieve our mobile phones.

In today’s world, it is a fact that we cannot avoid communicating and interacting in the cyber space. 

In fact, technology today has enabled us to interact while being on the move, through the use of mobile gadgets, without being hooked up to a personal computer.

However, in our excitement to leverage on technology, we should not be obsessed with social media platforms to the point that it may adversely affect our interaction and communication with family members. 

We should not be so attached to our mobile gadgets that we are inseparable from our mobile devices when we are eating, drinking, taking a shower and even sleeping – simply because we feel the need to surf the internet or play games or interact with our cyber friends.

Hence, it is important for us to understand the ethics and guidelines of surfing the Internet and making use of the cyber space. 

Cyber wellness (which refers to positive well-being of Internet users and a healthy cyber culture for the internet community) needs to be understood by all, whether users are adults, parents, youth, children or teenagers.

Every individual Internet user has a responsibility toward him/herself as well as toward others, and there needs to be mutual respect among users.

Be responsible and ethical Internet users. Respect your friends in the cyber space. Avoid using vulgarities, making rude and condescending comments that will tarnish their image.

 Do not insult, defame, make sarcastic remarks, gossip, fault others, or even make accusations and claims that are may not be verified and may be false!

 Do not watch or post what ever it is not allowed in Islam.Always keep away from the Immoralities which  are widely shared in the cyber world.

            in the context of the cyber space, where what one writes or posts will remain as a written record, can easily be spread widely and can be difficult to be retracted or erased, If it is in fact a fithnah or slander, then the sin is multiplied.

It is important for us to ensure that our social media pages and accounts are free from any form of vice.

 This is because, through social media such matters can be spread widely and rapidly, and so the “weight” of our sins will also multiply! This includes being accountable for the sins of others who spread the harm that we started (be it false accusation, backbiting etc).

This is in line with a reminder from Rasulullah s.a.w. which means: 

“Whoever calls upon others to deviant practices, then he will bear the sins of those who followed him, and it does not reduce the sin and the sin of those who followed.” [Hadith narrated by Imam Muslim]

With smart phones, social media sites can easily be accessed. Applications aimed at easing communication which enables group chats such as ‘Facebook messenger’ or ‘WhatsApp’ are sometimes misused to share and spread images, photos, videos and information that are inappropriate.

As responsible Internet users, we need to verify the information that we receive, to ascertain that the information is accurate and true, before we hit that “share” button. This is not just limited to Islamic information, but any sort of information such as the halal status of a product, news about certain individuals, and so on

We must also be extra vigilant in ensuring that our children, especially our very young children, do not fall prey to irresponsible people who use the social media websites to trap innocent children.

 These days, many young children who are still in primary school, already have their own Facebook, Twitter etc.  It is an unhealthy trend and one that is worrying. It actually allows irresponsible individuals with bad intentions to take advantage of children – be it girls or boys. These irresponsible people pretend to be children themselves, acting as friends of the same age of these young Internet users, and then go on to trap them.

These are the main guidelines regarding the ethics of interacting in the cyber world, especially the various social media platforms. Hopefully they will serve as useful reminders for all of us
