the dean show alhamdulillah Alum peace
be with you thank you for tuning in to
the dean show this week we're going to
be discussing a man who was sent as a
mercy for all of
mankind now many of you out there might
have ambivalent feelings towards this
individual some of you have watched the
show and you agree with
with what's in your very nature that
there's nothing worthy of worship except
the creator of the heavens and the Earth
and now there is another Peace to that
testimony that Muhammad was the last and
final messenger sent to mankind a
prophet just like Jesus Abraham Moses
and all the other Messengers that were
sent some of the more serious people in
life are getting a little bit
tired and they're looking for a purpose
the purpose of life and they've come to
Islam
seeking this because all the other
man-made religions out there they just
don't make sense but they're just stuck
at this very important part so now we're
going to be discussing a little bit
helping you understand to help you
develop a clear understanding about who
this man was and then at the end God
willing you'll conclude as over 1.5
billion people closer to actually even
over that have concluded that this man
indeed was a messenger sent by the creat
of the heavens and earth Muhammad peace
be upon him so don't go anywhere we'll
be right back to discuss this very
important topic here on the dean show
[Music]
the
[Music]
the this is
the this is the this is the
[Music]
the
[Music]
theum peace be with
you how are you sh alhamdulillah thank
you for being with us again here on the
dean show it's always a pleasure to be
here always a pleasure having you and as
I open up the program we talked about
somebody could have just been tuning in
because they're taking a religion class
and many people have come to Islam by
taking a religion class and they come to
Islam that topic and then they see like
hey Islam makes sense Islam is something
that's rational logical but also there
is a lot of misconceptions but people
can't agree you know when we give them
the truth that there's nothing worthy of
worship except the crater many people
almost all of them they agree to that
but now there's the other part of it
that Muhammad is indeed the messenger of
God and that would include all the
preceding Messengers correct Jesus Moses
Abraham all of them is this correct sh
uh so tell us how how important is this
you know this topic that we're talking
about before we get into um studying the
life of the last and final messenger so
people can be be uh convinced that he
indeed was a mercy sent to the world how
important is this topic that we're
talking
about for those who believe that there's
no one worthy of worship except Allah
but before that even as human beings we
believe that everybody they Heaven
themselves in their innate nature that
the creator of the heavens and the Earth
is one the provider the sustainer and so
on but they needed the messengers to be
sent to call the people to worship the
creator of the heavens and earth and
that's what was the job of the
messengers from One messenger to the
other The Messengers they were sent to
the people to call them to worship the
creator of the heavens and the Earth
alone so they human being that are in
need of this more than they need the
food and the drink and life itself so
from One messenger to the other
Messengers were sent to their people
people to the tribe and the final
messenger Muhammad sallallahu alaihi
wasallam Allah subhana sent him to all
mankind so the difference between him
and those who before him his message has
to be very comprehensive has to be
perfect and people can examine that and
also it has to
be there for the rest of this life that
we live in till the day of judgment
saved no distortions in it no change in
it whatsoever and that's why there is no
need for another Messenger to come and
this is what we see in the life of the
Prophet s wasallam we would see the best
human being ever walked on the face of
Earth the role model for every human
being The Messengers before you won't
get enough information about that life
but if you are a religious person if you
are a husband if you are in trade you
you you buy and sell you want when we
play many roles in our life you're a
child you're grownup you're whatever
position whatever situation that we're
in we can have the best example in the
life of prophet Muhammad am and this is
how Allah the most high saved his whole
entire life for us for people to examine
that if they want to examine and also
for for those who believe to imitate him
and to follow him in every single thing
in major minor issues in our
relationships in everything and that's
the beauty of it that makes sense that
makes sense because I mean your PC comes
with an instruction manual your Mac
computer comes with an instruction
manual I mean but the human being is
more complex than any of these things so
it would make sense that the crater
would send us an instruction manual and
with the best of examples so this is
what we want to do today we want to get
into the life of the last and final M
let's talk about him briefly we have a
lot of points to cover before before he
was commissioned by the Creator because
obviously people can see like hold on
you know if people are intelligent they
look at his life they can see if this
something is absurd you know this was
somebody who there's no way that he
could have been a messenger from God
he's making this stuff up so hopefully
after we go over these these these small
points they can get a they get kind of a
good feel
and it would further them to look
further into it so let's talk about him
before he was a prophet the prophet
sallallahu alai and this is also we
should encourage everyone to read about
his life before he was sent as a
messenger his life before was such in a
way preparing him to be the messenger to
be the final messenger of Allah he did
not know that he is being prepared for
this he was illiterate so that the the
miracle that was given to him which is a
miraculous book of Allah T the words of
subhana tala that nobody can ever bring
the like of one line of it right and
even though he was not able to read and
write but he was given this but most
importantly one important thing because
of the time you know the prophet peace
be upon him before he was sent he was
famously
called the truthful one and the one that
is
trustworthy uh when you look into the
life of the Arabs the Arabs at the time
if you have people that are bunch of
liars right and someone in the midest of
them and he is very honest and truthful
that sticks out right people would see
that he's honest it wasn't the case for
the prophet wasallam these people they
were truthful people meaning they would
never lie they would never say a lie and
there are evidences of this one of this
there's a long Hadith of Abu sufyan when
he met with
herculis one of the things that he said
because the the the king of Romans he
was asking this man and he was not a
Muslim yet and he was an enemy to the
prophet and they were in war with the
prophet peace be upon him he asked them
certain questions to examine and to see
how the prophet is because they had in
the prophecies that the prophet is about
to come so the questions that he asked
him he answered the questions in a very
beautiful way talking about the prophet
wasallam in a very fair and just way
exposing all the good things of the
Prophet wasallam when he's his enemy and
he said I cannot lie if it wasn't for
the people with me I would have lied
they used to consider lying as a as a
disastrous thing uh so having people
like this and to have the prophet
wasallam among them before being a
messenger and they will call him the
truthful one he has to be super super
truthful person so when immediately he
was sent and called them to worship
Allah subhana wa tala alone when people
accepted this from him because he is
someone that never speak a lie and the
life was in such a way that he wasn't
doing trade and so on but he was very
honest and truthful people who trust him
with his wealth and and the best man is
even before he was sent as a messenger
so this was the the ruler of Rome at
that time hercula so people can go look
look this up right so he had a statement
to say he kind he kind of knew they were
anticipating weren't they right a
prophet to come actually the whole world
at the time were waiting for a prophet
to come the whole world the whole world
meaning the Christian world and the Jew
the Jews world and and everyone because
of the prophecies in the books before
and and that's why he recous he was
knowledgeable in his book and he was
waiting for for a prophet to come and
when he heard that someone claims to be
a prophet or they heard about the
prophecy of the Prophet s wasallam and
one of his relatives were in in Syria
making the trade and so on and he called
them and he answered specific questions
asked him specific questions that from
their book whether his lineage what he's
calling you to do is he betraying you or
not and things like this and the
question of the the lying and so on Abu
sufyan said something interesting before
he was not a Muslim he reist asked him
does he betray the people does he betray
you he said we are in a treaty with him
now and we're not sure whether he is
going to break it or not Abu sufyan he
said this was the only pass that I can
say because everything else it's CHS him
to be the best man ever so and even this
Abu sufyan this this person at that time
who we know later accepted Islam at that
time so this is only the way I can get
him like right this is the only way and
it's nothing it's nothing actually and
later he accepted Islam accepted Islam
so he was an enemy of Islam at that time
and he only listed good qualities about
the prophet and he recous himself at the
end he said if I was with him I would
wash what's underneath his foot okay
this is very important so hercula the
emperor said if he was with the prophet
P he would wash his feet right he
realized immediately that this is the
messenger that they've been waiting for
uhhuh and that's why by the way if you
look at the map of how well the Muslims
went at the time or after the time of
the Prophet wasallam this was for
example the Sham Palestine Syria this
was the Christian world and Egypt and so
on people entered into the fold of-
Islam in masses yeah people were being
taught that there's a messenger is about
to come you know when for example in the
churches and so on people have been
taught there's a messenger about to come
and once the prophet s wasallam and they
get to know the prophet wasallam people
accepted Islam in masses mes this is
amazing it's amazing so we're going to
take a break and we'll come back with
more here on the dean show I started
asking deeper questions the question I
want people to really ask
themselves is when you come back from a
night on the town you've been drinking
you've been boozing you've been dancing
you've been hanging out with girls guys
whatever number
one did you improve yourself as a human
being number two did you contribute
anything to the betterment of
humanity the amazing thing is is that
the most advanced studies in
Psychology about human happiness
show that these are the two key factors
in making people profoundly happy I Take
5 minutes out of my day and pray to the
Creator and none of the creations and I
feel deep internal peace and I still
have my normal
life back here on the dean show and
we're talking about the last and final
messenger sent to mankind it makes sense
that the Creator who created mankind the
maker of mankind would send an
instruction man and he did he sent it
with Jesus peace be upon him did Jesus
ever call people to worship himself or
did he ever say he was to explicitly say
that I'm the Son of God never and there
is nobody ever can bring a proof of this
whatsoever something that supposed to be
a principle of Faith should be very well
known very well established with
evidence and so and so on there's not
even one evidence clear not ambiguous
very explicit uh message from Jesus
peace be upon him that he would call
people to worship him and not the
creator of the heavens now wasn't there
a Christian King that the Muslims they
immigrated because they were being
tortured and persecuted and boycotted I
mean the the worst of the worst was
happening to him the same persecution
that the true followers of Jesus didn't
they go under the same ridicule and
persecution they were fed to the dogs
the Rome was lit up by them they were
made like fire cannibals you know and so
much uh so many atrocities to those
people who are True Believers in the one
God now didn't the the the king at that
time he actually was a Christian but he
wasn't one who believed in a trinity he
believed in one guy and later he
accepted Islam isn't his true can you
talk about this that's the king of ABIA
Nashi I think in English yes he was a
Christian and he was in ABIA and the
prophet peace be upon him when the
people in Mecca they were so much
prosecuted and hurt and tortured and so
on he ordered the weak among them those
who did not have a support in Mecca to
migrate to ABIA and the prophets peace
be upon him he said there's a just ruler
there go there and stay there till the
matter becomes better so when they went
there and the people of to disbelievers
they sent after them some of the people
to convince the king to take them back
and to continue to prosecute them so
when the Believers when the companions
of the Prophet sallallahu alaihi
wasallam they met this King and they
explain to him who they are and what the
prophet s wasallam is immediately this
person he said this is the final
messenger this is the messenger of God
this is the one that comes after Jesus
peace be upon him and he accepted the
religion of Islam and when he died in
ABIA the prophet peace be upon him he
prayed Sal janaz the the funeral prayer
on him in Medina because he died in the
state of Islam he accepted Islam
immediately because again they were
waiting for the prophet wasallam they
get to know his qualities that it's
mentioned in the books and he actually I
mean when the
jaff when his companion of the Prophet
peace be upon him when he was asked
about Islam you know what you guys
believe you know this was a Christian
King at that time what did he say about
the difference between us and he to
prove this point he Illustrated with a
twig with a leave Branch was something
very very small right and he mentioned
that their life before they were just
people of ignorance and forgetfulness
and they would kill each other and they
would you know fight with each other and
then Allah subhana T sent from from
someone that is among them from one of
them the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wasallam ordering them to worship Allah
subhana T alone to be kind to the to the
kin and Ki and to feed the poor and to
do what is righteous and to establish
the prayers and so on so Allah T
transformed their life from the life of
ignorance to the life of knowing the
purpose of the life and worshiping the
creator of the heavens and the Earth and
being kind to others and so on so the
when when he heard this and he heard the
message that this is from the prophet s
wasallam he immediately accepted aced it
he accepted it that's and he was he was
a Christian who didn't believe now in a
lot of these beliefs that just don't
make sense because none of the other
prophets taught that a man is God or
that you know the Creator had a literal
son can we say that you know back then
if they Ed the word Son of God this was
someone who was close to God a Pious
person right and that's what's actually
mentioned that there everybody all the
righteous people are sons of God in the
sense that this is not a physical
relationship nothing it's just a matter
of being righteous and so on and
actually by the way most of the the the
Christian world at the time they were in
the true uh belief of Jesus please be
upon like the people in Egypt and so on
many of them they were on the on the
Oneness of worship on the pure
monotheism yes because I mean when we
have people I don't want to go too deep
into this but when when you really stop
and think people they just say son of
God Son of God but when you stop and
think it just doesn't make sense because
we know cats have kittens dogs have
puppies what does God have a baby God so
you have two Gods now you have something
that just way out there doesn't make
sense right and what what happened to
the people before Jesus peace be upon
him what was the religion of Abraham
peace be upon him he didn't know the
right God to worship he was worshiping
the one in the heavens that's it that's
it and that's why there's no such a
thing as an invention that all of a
sudden people realized there's something
new it's the same thing for every
messenger and that's why when you would
not find a a more perfect way to believe
in all the messengers of Allah all of
them from Adam and no and Abraham and
Moses and Jesus Prophet Muhammad Salli
wasallam except in this true and
beautiful way of life otherwise you're
inventing your own religion with your
own belief and prove it and there's no
proof whatsoever yeah I I can keep going
I want to stick to this because I get
sidetracked sometimes so let's I'm going
to go back to some examples let's talk
about briefly because I have so much to
cover in this short amount of time how
did that so we said okay before
prophethood he was given the title the
the umu the truthful trustworthy he had
a impeccable character even before
prophethood he never dated never drank
alcohol never worshiped stick stones or
bones he was on the way of Abraham right
now the angel Gabriel comes to him how
did this happen this has happened when
the prophet before he was sent as a
messenger he was made beloved to him to
to seclude himself and he would go right
outside the skirts of Mecca and be in a
cave there in the mountain worshiping
Allah alone worshiping the the true God
the the god of Abra him and he would
take with him the provisions and the
food and so on from his wife Khadijah
and he would go there stays for days and
then whenever his Provisions ends he
would go back and get some more and
seclude himself and one of these nights
the angel jel Gabriel he came down unto
him while he's in the cave and the
prophet wasallam he did not know what's
what's happening and he gets scared and
worried but then Angel jel he took him
and embraced him very hard and pressed
him and he said read or and the prophet
wasam was illiterate he said I cannot
read I'm not a literate person and then
he did that for three times and then he
recited the verse the first verses that
was ever revealed to the prophet from
the Quran which
is the first word was read right which
is by the way has a great significant
this religion the miracle of the last
messenger messenger of Allah something
to stay till the day of judgment for
people to read which is the book of
Allah and reminding the human beings
that they were created from a dirty drop
and they need to Humble themselves to
the creator of the heavens and earth and
not to feel that they are independent or
they need him because they are in need
of him with every breath they take I
want to get this in we got one minute
before we have to go to break he goes to
his wife and now what happens with his
wife he went to his wife and he was very
scared what is this he didn't make some
grandio story right he told her what
happened and he said I'm afraid for
myself and she
immediately she didn't get scared like
him but she
said by Allah he would never disgrace
you meaning Allah would never disgrace
you why because she had an Evidence
because you are someone that feed the
poor take care of your K and kith and
you're kind to others so with these
qualities there's no way that God would
disgrace you and then she took him to
her
cousin and this is a very also
interesting topic that needs to be take
a break we're getting he now they went
to go see another judeo Christian
someone who knew the scriptures who knew
that what the qualities would be of a
messenger and we're going to hear what
this person had to say about the prophet
Muhammad peace be upon him we'll be
right back here on the dean show
alhamdulillah peace be with you
alhamdulillah peace be unto you
alhamdulillah alhamdulillah peace be
unto you welcome to the dean show
alhamdulillah peace be with you
greetings of peace peace to everybody
all around the globe that's tuning in to
the dean show this is the dean
show back here on the dean show with
shik zadan we're talking about the last
and final messenger sent to mankind who
was sent of Mercy to the world and
hopefully people get stimulated to
really look into his
life now we before we left he went to
his wife she listed all the good
qualities she basically testified to his
impeccable character and then she went
to go see the her cousin who was a like
a judeo Christian correct what' he say
yes he was a scholar in this and when
Khadijah the wife of the Prophet sallam
she took the prophet sallam to him and
he said that this is a he said that word
which is this is the same thing that has
been revealed to Prophet M and he
referred to Moses peace be upon him
because of the similarity of the message
of M Mam and Prophet Muhammad peace be
upon him with legislations and rulings
and so on and then he told them knowing
the of Allah subhana T because of what's
been mentioned in the previous books
that your people will drive you out and
he said I wish I would be strong and
healthy when your people drive you out
so that I can support you and give you
Victory so the prophet peace be upon him
he said my people will drive me out he
said yes there's nobody came with what
you came with this message unless his
people had enmity against him and then
very soon after that he died he passed
away he passed away there a Muslim he
believed he immediately accepted the
message of the Prophet s wasallam
because of what he heard from the
Prophet wasallam this is such an
immediate thing because of his knowledge
of course that's amazing so another
testimony and he also accepted Islam
immediately yes and this is people can
go look this up right this is profound
let's go into another story Chief Rabbi
scholar of the Jews he also had an
encounter he was they were obviously in
that area that region for for because
they were waiting for a prophet what did
he do when he heard about the prophet
Muhammad this was in Medina after the
prophet M to Al Medina and his name is
Abdullah Salam and he was the chief
Rabbi of the Jews and uh he embraced
Islam and he became a Muslim and when he
embraced the dean of Islam and he the
prophet wasam he had a group of the Jews
with him and he said to abdah Salam hide
so then after he did that the prophet
wasam asked him who do you think what do
you say about Abdullah Salam your Chief
they said he is the best of us and he's
the son of the best of us and they
praised him so much so then the prophet
sallam told him to come out and he said
the Shah to them that he become a Muslim
that he said there's no one worthy of
worship except Allah subhana tala and
that Prophet Muhammad is the final
messenger of Allah immediately they said
he is the worst of us and he is the son
of the worst of us so this what shows
how unfair they were when before they
said that he is the best person among
them so the best person embraced Islam
and followed the prophet sallallahu
alaihi that's amazing a scholar a rabbi
accepts Islam amazing so much more to to
discuss you know we really want to just
give people like a taste test but what
was now before we end and conclude what
was this this call that was something
pragmatic that it fit what what the
human being has in inside him to to
identify you know it wasn't something
farsal something weird bizarre let's
talk about just briefly in the last two
minutes we have this simple message that
was understandable it was believable
talk to us about it and that's the
miracle of all the message of the
messengers people think that they're
waiting for miracles to happen
physically no it's something that has to
touch each and every one of us and we
need to really take the matter seriously
and to be sincere a messenger sent from
God he has nothing to do with his own
he's calling people to worship the
creator of the heavens and the Earth
alone do not glorify me do not worship
me do not think of me any anything but a
human being but a messenger of the
creator of the heavens and the Earth
worship him alone turn to him alone put
your trust in him be obedient to him and
then when you see the Revelation and the
orders and what is permissible what's
not permissible a perfect way of life
the Best Manners that he called people
to to adopt and he had it himself he did
not someone that was being a king or
seeking the wealth of others or seeking
status he lived and he slept on the
ground to the extent of which that the
mattress made of straws would make mark
on his
side he was offered to be the king and
to have so much wealth to live this to
to leave this he refused and he
continued to to live this simple life
sometimes he would tie two stones on his
stomach out of the hunger and his whole
entire house would not even have a piece
of date in it this is the the sign that
that he was someone that is doing things
only for the sake of Allah subhana wa
tala calling people to the
most very basic to their nature that
they are they having the urge to it and
I believe everybody's watching us you
have the urge in this that if you
believe in God alone worship him alone
and this is what the
messenger he called the people to and
then you have the best example in Him in
all of your Affairs and all of your life
what is more beautiful than this and how
easy that is for people to follow the
truth so before we leave and conclude so
if you accept Muhammad peace be upon him
as the last and final messenger that
automatically includes Jesus Moses Abra
and all the preceding Messengers right
because if you dis Believe In One
messenger you just believe in the one
that sent them so if you disbelieve in
Jesus is that a ticket to the Hellfire
take you outside the fold of the truth
take the person to the hell believe
disbelieving in Moses disb believing in
any of of The Messengers that God sent
to humanity so we can safely say I mean
look for the people that you know tune
in for the first time before we go we
love Jesus we love him more than we love
our own s amazing thank you peace be
with you thank
you and there you have it just a glimpse
into his life I hopefully this has been
enough to stimulate you to look a little
bit further and do something real real
real easy ask the Creator to guide you
that's the first step we always
recommend that people ask not anyone not
putting an intermediary between you and
the Creator ask the Creator to guide you
and do some homework if you're like most
people you get caught up with the rat
race of life and you go from one party
to the next and TV is numbing your mind
and music but there's something more
important you know think about the day
you're going to expire from this life
and you'll be in the grave scary thing
you don't want to talk about it people
make jokes about and just change the
topic but it's a reality we're going to
die and doesn't matter how many
championships You've Won how much of the
millions trillions and some of people
work sweat like dogs and work work work
and they don't even accomplish that and
then you die and then you just lose the
next life and the next life's forever
it's Paradise but you have to plant
seeds of goodness in this life develop
yourself to be the best human being
possible but you can't just do it on
your whims and desires you got to follow
the blueprint that the Creator sent down
through all the messengers of God and
you got to learn about the last and
final messenger so do what's in your
very nature testify that there's nothing
worthy of worship except the Creator the
heavens and earth and Muhammad is his
messenger just like Jesus Moses Abraham
they were all Messengers of God and when
you do this and you live by it Paradise
is yours that's right Paradise is yours
and you avoid the Hellfire to do it
right now call this number you might
have some some questions that are just
tickling you inside ask them tough
questions but do the work don't go back
to the to the war games Grand Theft Auto
and then you just forget about all these
serious things 1 800 662 Islam call
