Alhamdulillah. My dear brothers and
sisters and guests, we begin as always
by thanking and
praising the one who created the heavens
and the
earth. And we ask Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala also to send his peace and
blessings upon the messenger Muhammad
sallallahu alaihi
wasallam. Tonight we have a lecture by
our dear brother Bil
Assad and he will be addressing the
topic of Muhammad sallallahu alaihi
wasallam and his compassion to the world
to
mankind. Here we'll be talking about the
greatest man who walked upon this earth.
The man that you and I need to take as
an example. We need to know about him
and we need to follow in his footsteps.
the man whom Allah said about
him and we did not send you oh Muhammad
sallallahu alaihi wasallam except as a
mercy means all of Allah's creation not
just Muslims
non-Muslims animals plants he is a mercy
to all of creation so we ask our dear
brother B to come forward and present
the compassion of Muhammad to the world
which is
[Music]
Alhamdulillah.
My brothers and sisters in
Islam, I ask Allahh to benefit us with
what we are about to listen to today and
to make us a guide for those who come
after us to our friends to our family
and to all of
those whether they ask or don't ask
about Islam to make us at all in
spreading this wonderful wonderful
message. Tonight my dear brothers and
sisters I will
attempt to share with you a night of
peace and tranquility
together. And I intend to
talk about the compassion and mercy of
our beloved Muhammad sallallahu alaihi
wasallam not only to
mankind. As the topic
suggested mankind, the prophet
sallallaihi wasallam did not only come
as a compassion and mercy to only
mankind. He came as a compassion and
mercy to the whole
world, to everyone and to everything.
And the way that I intend to present
this is by going back and showing you
some stories or examples of the prophet
sallall alaihi wasallam and the way that
how he was
compassionate towards the different
beings in his life.
How he showed his compassion towards all
creatures, human beings, even the gins,
the Muslims and the non-Muslims, the
women and children, his wives, his sons
and daughters, and the sons and
daughters of all the other believers,
the poor and the old, the sick and the
sad, the animals and the insects even.
how he showed his compassion
even towards enemies of Islam, how he
treated
them and how he treated women in
general. And finally, I will conclude
inshallah with the question why do we
love Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam
so much? Why? That's towards the end
inshallah.
My brothers and sisters in Islam, the
reason why I chose this topic is
basically
because this miraculous man Muhammad
sallallahu alaihi
wasallam of whom many historians and
orientalists, Muslims and
non-Muslims have praised him so much
past and present and ranked him as the
highest most influential successful ful
man ever to walk on the face of the
earth. Such a man, how can I go? How can
any of us go without defending
him and speaking the truth about him and
about his examples and his
parables? How can one pass by such a
great man and not mention his qualities
and
characteristics? If
anybody knows this man Muhammad
sallallahu alaihi
wasallam and does not inform about him
in the correct way any authentic manner
then such a person is an evil human
being because the prophet sallallaihi
wasallam came to share the mercy with
all the human
beings and all the creatures and you
will be restricting
that. We are not a selfish people.
the author
of a book called the 100, a ranking of
the most influential persons in history.
This author's name is Michael Hart. I
think you may have heard of him. He
says, "My choice of Muhammad sallallahu
alaihi wasallam to lead the list of the
world's most influential persons may
surprise some readers and may be
questioned by
others, but he was the only man in
history who was supremely successful on
both the religious and secular level."
This is a non-Muslim man talking about
Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam this
way. My dear brothers and sisters from
here I would like to mention that the
prophet sallallah.aii wasallam peace of
Allah and his blessings be upon him said
to his
companions inform about me even if you
only know one parable. So if we know
about the prophet sallall alaihi
wasallam something that is correct and
authentic we should inform all the
people of the world because one parable
wah he can change
people and from here Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala says in the Quran which everyone
can read about the messenger sallallahu
alaihi wasallam
And we have not sent you, oh messenger
of Allah, for any other
reason except to be a mercy to the whole
world. Except to be a mercy to the whole
world, everyone.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala also tells us
about the qualities of this great
messenger by
[Music]
saying which means there has certainly
ly come to you a messenger from among
yourselves. Grievious and hurtful to
him it is when you suffer. When we
suffer
prophetam gets
hurt and he feels pain for our
suffering. Eagerly concerned over us in
guidance compassionate and merciful to
the believers.
This is the type of messenger and
prophet that we are talking about. My
brothers and sisters in Islam, every
prophet that came to their people, we do
not neglect their compassion which
Allahh brought them with too. We do not
neglect the compassion of Isaam Jesus
Christ the son of Mary. Nor do we
neglect the compassion of Mus or Abraham
or all the other prophets Daw known as
David or Alisam and the rest of the
other prophets for all the prophets of
Allah they are a mercy to the people and
they are a compassion to all the people
for it is Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and
we heard yesterday's talk by our brother
dear brother Abu Hamza how he was
talking about the mercy of Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala there is no one more
merc mer mer mer mer mer mer mer mer mer
mer mer mer mer mer mer mer mer mer mer merciful than Allah. So how can he send
someone who is not also merciful and
compassionate? How? So we are talking
about people who are sent from Allah the
most merciful with a message and a
guidance for all of mankind and all of
the gins, all the people of the
world. The prophet sallallah.aii alaihi
wasallam used to address his companions
first of all in the most beloved
fashion and the most honorable
way. In fact, he used to treat every
individual as if he or she were the most
favorable in his eyes. So every single
companion used to think that they are
the most
beloved most favored by this messenger
sallallahu alaihi wasallam. If you met
him, you will think that Muhammad
sallall alaihi wasallam loves you the
most because of the way he used to treat
every person individually with
sensitivity and you used to analyze what
is sensitive to
you and avoid it until you would think
that he loves you the most.
Every single companion thought they were
the most beloved and this way the
prophet sallallaihi wasallam kept the
unity of his
companions and abomish abolished the
jealousy and hatred and the envy that
could exist between them. So each one of
them was a special character for him.
And this is the way the prophet wasallam
teaches us to deal towards one another
ourselves and towards our children not
to try and show the favorism of one to
another.
So he used to say to them
all, I am to you like a person who is
trying to keep away
butterflies from burning in a blazing
flame. So he tries to keep away the
butterflies from burning in the blazing
flame and they just keep wanting to come
and throw themselves in the blazing
flame because it looks attractive to
them.
This is how the prophet sallall alaihi
wasallam used to teach us and his
companions how he is to us. He said I am
like one who is guarding you from the
flame. I am the one who is guarding you
from the fire because it's too
attractive and I'm leading you away from
it because it can harm you and directing
you to the great
salvation. Nothing different to what the
other prophets came before him said for
he they are all the messengers of Allah
and the messenger of Allah is one. Allah
means God. By the
way, the companions used to say to the
prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam, "Oh
messenger of Allah, when we are with
you, when we are with you, we feel as if
there are angels surrounding us and we
are about to be literally risen from the
earth and placed into Jenna in paradise.
We're about to flutter above the earth
and go right to the heavens.
But when we depart from your company, oh
messenger of God, we feel
empty. We feel
empty as if all goodness has abandoned
us as well. The prophet sallallahu
alaihi wasallam said to them, "My
companions, it is because you are with
the messenger of
God whom God Allahh has sent him with
great mercy to all of the people. Why
will you not feel such a thing when you
are around me? Learn from
it. My dear brothers and sisters, the
prophet sallallah.aii alaihi wasallam.
He sacrificed his blood and his wealth
and his
time for our sake in order to save
us. In a time where kufur like disbelief
took them pro prophet sallallahu alaihi
wasallam and his followers as the
greatest enemies and wanted to persecute
them and drive them out of their homes
and torture them and punish them and
strip them from all wealth and all
possessions and disunite between them
only because they said we worship one
god and they called to it. Those people
of the kufur at that
time, the enemies who hated this call,
they didn't want this to spread. So they
began disuniting between every person
who says God is only
one. The prophet sallallahu alaihi
wasallam never lifted a sword at anybody
or forced them to enter into Islam.
He never forced anyone to embrace this
religion because a person who was to
become a Muslim must become a sincere
Muslim from the heart otherwise they are
not accepted by Allah as Muslims. You
have to be sincere and accept it
fullheartedly. For 14 whole years the
prophet sallallah.aii wasallam only
invited the people never lifted a finger
or a sword to fight
anyone. Yet they persecuted him and his
people and his followers. He had to keep
it a secret in the beginning sallallahu
alaihi wasallam and he began his message
brothers and sisters. The first people
whom he be began with were his family.
So he called his uncles and he called
his his uh first cousins and his tribe
and he stood before them after 40 years
of knowing him to be a truthful prophet
and said to them, "Oh my people, if I
were to tell you that an army is about
to approach you and attack you from
behind those mountains
now, will you believe me?
They all said with one voice, "We have
never known you to be a liar. Oh
messenger, oh Muhammad, you are a noble
man who has always been truthful and
honest. We believe you." He said, "Well
then, I have come to you to warn you
from falling into hellfire and that God
has sent me as a messenger for you to
abandon the worship of idols which you
carve with your hands and to worship the
creator of
everything."
Sayahill. Say there is only one God and
you will be successful.
As soon as he said that word, the first
one was his uncle Abuahab. He stood up
and he
said, it's like he swore at at
him. Is this what you what you came and
gathered us for? If you asked us for a
thousand words other than that, we will
respond. But this word never you're
asking us to leave and abandon the our
ancestral
belief. Muhammad sallallahu alaihi
wasallam replied, I am but a warner to
you. Another person then replied and
said, "Go away, O person. You've gone
crazy, it seems." And the people began
one after the other insulting the
messenger sallallahu alaihi wasallam.
Except for one person he accepted. And
that even made the matter worse because
that one person that accepted was a
young boy at the age of only seven
between seven or 10 years old. His name
was Ali. He said, "I believe what you
said, Muhammad sallallahu alaihi
wasallam." So the people began to laugh.
Look, a young only a young boy accepted
what he
said. So the prophet sallallaihi
wasallam then said, "I say one final
word to
you. I am but like a warner warning
messenger who has come to warn you of a
coming army that is about to attack you
and kill you and I'm trying to save you
from that." And then he walked away
sallallahu alaihi wasallam. But he
didn't give up for 14 whole years after
that. As I said, continued trying to
save these people from hellfire, trying
to save them from a fabricated religion
which their ancestors brought them with
based on culture. And this culture, my
dear brothers and sisters,
was full of oppression,
injustice. The prophet sallallah.aii
alaihi wasallam was so kind and
compassionate to all the people that met
him that the people of Quraysh who
didn't want anyone to become a
Muslim they were so afraid that anybody
would even lay eyes on the prophet
sallallahu alaihi wasallam or even hear
a single word that they used to say to
to them do not approach this man for
he has words of sorcery if you listen to
him you'll become magnetized and
hypnotized
But as soon as one person sat with him,
one word made these people, these
companions say to the messenger a common
motto. Do you know what that was? They
used to say as soon as they sat with him
for a few
minutes, oh messenger of God, I am ready
to sacrifice everything I have in your
cause before even my father and mother.
That was their common mot. Who can say
that to someone? Who can now here sit
here and say to some beloved person of
yours? Say to them, I am ready to
sacrifice everything I have, my blood,
my wealth, my honor, everything in your
cause, even before my mother and father.
Who can say that to anyone else? Who?
There is no one there is no one more
valuable than your mother and father
except the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wasallam and Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
They used to say to him with only a few
minutes
I sacrifice everything in your cause
before my mom and dad. Oh messenger of
God. Why were they crazy people? Were
they
insane? They were
leaders. They were people who understood
very well. They were linguisticians who
understood language very well. And they
could easily differentiate between words
of the Quran and the words of poetry or
the words of magic or whatever it was.
Are the billions of
Muslims
today all crazy and insane? There has to
be a
secret. The companions of the prophet
sallallahu alaihi wasallam felt the love
of their messenger. So much so that the
prophet peace be upon him when he was
forced into battle like in a war
battle. The companions used to say
When the war became too intense for us
and we couldn't charge anymore, we used
to go and run and hide behind the
prophet sallallaihi wasallam's back and
used to defend us sallallahu alaihi
wasallam. In the battle of Hunain,
another fierce battle the Muslims were
almost about to lose and they were
running away. Then the messenger sallall
alaihi wasallam said, "Oh my companion
servants of Allah, come come and seek
refuge behind me. I will defend you."
Who of us is ready to do that? And the
prophet sallallaihi wasallam is ready to
die in defense of his
companions and he said Allah will not
lose
us. Nobody can ever ever equal the
messenger sallallahu alaihi wasallam and
his compassion towards
us. Muhammad sallallahu alaihi
wasallam's compassion to the humans in
general. I'm going to give you some
examples of how he was to the humans in
general. Muslim, non-Muslim,
anyone. As we said, his main aim was to
invite the people and call them from
falling into disaster in this world and
in the hereafter.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala had commanded
him that he must go out and invite the
people and call them to worship one god
and to save them with sincerity from
hellfire because neither god nor his
prophets want anyone to be burnt in
hellfire not one of
them. So the prophet sallall alaihi
wasallam after he called the people of
Mecca Allah ordered him to go outside of
Mecca and call another people. The
following story my brothers and sisters
wall I've read it many times. It always
brings tears to my eyes when I remember
my beloved prophet sallallahu alaihi
wasallam. This place which he had gone
to was it's a common place known in
Saudi Arabia today. At that time they
were full of people who worshiped idols
and were non-believers. It's about 60 km
away from
Mecca. So he went on that journey with
his freed slave like he had a slave whom
he bought and then freed him. That was a
common practice of the prophet
sallallahu alaihi wasallam. And he
ordered and advised his companions to do
the same thing. Buy slaves and free
them. So he freed his slave named Znar.
And they went out
to as soon as he arrived to he spoke
with the first man he saw and said with
the most greatest wisdom of words and
the kindest manner. The prophet
sallallaihi wasallam used to approach
them and say I am a messenger of God and
God has brought the Quran to you and
used to recite the Quran to them to
prove to them how this is not words of
man. And then he would advise them and
tell them the commandments and the
prohibitions and the wisdoms which Allah
brought to him. The first man scorned
him and said away from me oh you crazy
man. So he went to another man, a leader
of theirs, and he said to him, "Couldn't
God have sent any other messenger than
you?" And then another man said to him,
he said, "If you truly are a prophet,
then I am not worthy of listening to
you. And if you are not a prophet, then
you're a liar. Get away from you,
insignificant man. Scorns after scorns
until finally he stayed there for more
than seven nights, 10 days, more than 10
days, calling the people and trying to
address them. Wallah with his full heart
trying to save them. So they got sick of
him. Not one of them responded. Not one.
They got so sick of him that they wanted
to exile him and throw him out. He was
an un unwelcome
guest. So they brought the children,
young boys and girls. And they brought
the women behind the boys and girls. And
then the men, the slaves and the
servants behind the women. And then
their leaders stood even behind them
watching and laughing as they subjected
the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam
to a narrow path. Imagine now a line on
this side and a line on this side. Boys
and girls, women at the back, servants
and peasants on the other side and
they're all throwing rocks at you,
spitting at you, throwing dirty
material, filthy, impure things at your
face, at your at your legs and and
swearing at you in a land which is so
strange to you and you don't know anyone
there. and you've come to them with a
true message. All you're doing is just
inviting and saying pure words of
kindness and you haven't harmed anyone
and this is the way you've been treated.
The prophet sallallaihi wasallam was z
walking between these two lines. They
threw the filth at him sallallahu alaihi
wasallam until his legs began to bleed
on both sides and zed tried to protect
him and he was injured in his head and
the blood was seeping from him
subjecting him to a few kilometers down
almost about 2
km all on his side children spitting at
him cursing him abusing him laughing at
him pointing at
him sallallahu alaihi wasallam almost a
42 or 43 year old
man until finally at that time very
tired and exhausted he sought refuge in
one of the numerous
gardens. He sat tired beneath one of the
trees of the gardens and the people left
him. But Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala sent
two sons of
Rab and they felt a bit of remorse for
this man. So they said to their servant,
they had a slave, a Christian slave and
his name was Adas said him go and take
this tray of grapes to that man. We feel
sorry for him. So Adas the Christian
slave went to the prophet sallallahu
alaihi
wasallam and he gave him the
grapes. Then the prophet sallall alaihi
wasallam said some words which shocked
Adas. He
said because when we eat we say
bismillah in the name of
God. The manas looked at him peculiarly
and said where did you learn these
words? These words are not common to the
people of this land. I've never heard
them before.
The prophet sallallaihi wasallam looked
at him with a smile because that's his
character. Even though he was treated so
badly by all the people of the
city. Listen to this carefully brothers
and sisters. I have a very important
message
here. He never ever
generalized. Every single individual was
a potential Muslim and a potential good
person. He looked at Hadas and smiled.
And he asked him, "Oh, oh
person, where are you from?" And Adas
said to him, "I am from a place called
Nino." The prophet sallallaihi wasallam
said, "Noah, the place where Yuna is
from,
Jonah." Abdas looked at him and said,
asked, "How do you know? How do you know
Yunas? Jonah, tell me about Jonah." It
was mentioned in the Bible. The prophet
peace be upon him then said Jonah is my
brother meaning his brother in
prophethood and he is a prophet of God
and I am also a prophet of God. As soon
as he said that Adas began to kiss his
forehead and his hands and his legs and
he began to cry, the his leaders who
were looking at him, they raced raced
after him and said to him, "Dash, come
back here. What are you doing?" They
brought him back and they said to him,
"Don't follow him. Your religion is
better than his
religion. Don't get stung by him." And
Adas looked at him at them with crying
face and he said to
them wallah by God because that's what
they used to
say no man knows what this man knows
about Jonah except for another
prophet. At that moment, my dear
brothers and sisters, the prophet
sallallah.aii wasallam said his famous
dua which is so emotional and preserved
till
today. An encounter of how the prophet
sallallaihi wasallam expressed his
distressed soul to us. He lifted his
arms up to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
And that's what every Muslim does,
brothers and sisters. When you are in
stress, we are in despair, when you are
in loss of hope, say, "Ya Allah, turn to
Allah." And he said, "Ya Allah, oh
Allah, sorry." He said,
"Allah, to you alone I complain of my
weakness, my insufficient ability and my
insignificance in the eyes of the
people. You are the most merciful of all
mercifuls. You are the Lord of the
helpless and the weak. Oh my Lord, into
whose hands would you abandon me to?
into the hands of an unsympathetic
distant relative who will angrily frown
at me or to the enemy to have control
over my life. Oh my Lord, but if you are
not angry with me, then all of this does
no longer matters to me. All of it
doesn't concern
me. Your pardon is ample enough for me.
I seek the protection in the light of
your face which illuminates the
darkness. May it never be that I should
ever earn your anger or that you should
ever become angry at me. And there is no
no power or resource except with you. Oh
Allah, when all else fails, my brothers
and sisters, your companion is Allah
subhanahu wa
ta'ala. The prophet sallallaihi wasallam
complained to him and do you know what
happened? On his
way, the angel Gabriel came down. He
said, I I felt like a cloud was above
me. I looked above was Jirel. He had
come down and he said to me, I have with
me the angel of the
mountains, if you
want, you can talk to him. Then the
angel of the mountain said, "Oh
messenger of God, we know your distress
state and we know how these people have
treated you. If you want me, I will
crush them between the two
mountains that were
surrounding. I will crush them and
destroy them." Just say the
word. Now what would one of us do
brothers and sisters in this situation?
At least we want some
revenge. Do you know what the prophet
sallallaihi wasallam said? You see it's
in his nature to be compassionate. He
said
no for maybe Allah will bring out from
their pro from their progeny from their
loins from their children later on in
the future sometime. Maybe in the future
they will have
children who will believe in the one
true God subhanahu wa
ta'ala. Do not destroy them. If they
cannot be saved, then maybe their
children will be
saved. What is the prophet sallallahu
alaihi wasallam going to get out of it
when he is dead? For those people who
say this man who
came, there is something that he wanted
out of it. He wanted fortune or fame.
But after his death, why would he want
fortune or
fame? To worship one god. So
what? Because the prophet sallall alaihi
wasallam is a mercy to
mankind. When we speak about the prophet
sallallaihi wasallam's generosity wall,
we cannot go beyond his generosity and
no one can ever resemble him or equal
him in that. He would never eat better
food until he was sure that his people
have eaten
already. And sometimes there will be
three whole months that would pass by
the prophet sallallaihi wasallam's
family household and no
meat will be eaten. Three months.
Because the prophet wasallam if he
wanted he could be
rich. But every time he sought richness,
every time he had some wealth, he had
some possession there was always someone
in need. And he would distribute it. In
fact, he would do it so much the prophet
sallallaihi wasallam that one time he
was standing up of many times and he was
distributing from his wealth and his
possessions to the needy and the poor.
He was calling out, "Oh hungry people
come to me. Oh poor people come to me.
Take from this, take from that." Because
prophetam teaches us that from our
wealth and from our
possessions, there are some of them that
do not belong to us. They belong to the
poor people. Because they belong first
of all to Allah. And he says part of
your wealth belongs to the poor people.
The messenger wasallam the example for
us calling them to him and right at the
end after he depleted everything he had
a better man came along and bowins at
those days were very harsh people and
they were very rude and not very
intelligent
either so he came up to Muhammad
wasallam from behind the people and
grabbed the prophet sallallaihi wasallam
from his collar and he pulled him
vigorously down towards him until he
made the prophet sallallaihi wasallam's
neck have a streak
of blood around his neck. That's how
hard he pulled him. The prophet wasallam
was in pain. So what he did was he
didn't push him off. He didn't beat him
up. He didn't kick him off. He leaned
towards him only to ease the pain on his
neck. Sallallahu alaihi
wasallam. And the better one said to
him, "Give me from your wealth. Give
me." The prophet could have said to him,
"Why should I give you?" The prophet
sallallaihi wasallam said to him, "I
don't have I don't have any more to
give." The man said, "By Allah, you will
give me from your wealth." He thought he
was lying. So the prophet sallallah
wasallam said, "Wait for me." After the
people departed, he took his hand and he
took him to his own house, fed
him, sheltered
him, comforted him, and gave him a place
to sleep for three days and three nights
at his own house and fed him from what
he feeds from his family. Whatever he
had. At the end of the three days, the
badawan stood up and he realized his
mistake. He ended up loving this
compassionate prophet sallallaihi
wasallam so much that he called the
people and he said behold
everyone means behold in Arabic when you
want people's
attention. Oh Allah have mercy on me and
mercy on Muhammad but don't have mercy
on anyone else. This is the only one
that was good to
me. The prophet sallallaihi wasallam
didn't stop there. He brought him up and
he said to him secretly and quietly not
to sort of insult him said to him no
Allah's mercy is great and encompasses
all people. So then the bad one nodded
his head and he got up and he
said, "Oh Allah, give mercy to me and
Muhammad wasallam and give mercy to all
of the
people." Prophet sallall alaihi wasallam
this is what he taught his people to say
and
do. The prophet sallallahu alaihi
wasallam when we look at the example of
how we treated the old people and the
weak people our minds cannot grasp it
and we just want to see his face and
kiss it night and day night and day
night and day. Subhan Allah. The prophet
sallallahu alaihi
wasallam once he saw an old woman and
you might know this story he didn't ask
about her religion or what she followed
or where she came from. That's what this
this is not important to the Muslims
because when you are sincere, it doesn't
matter what color you are, what
nationality you are, what uh status you
come from, what religion you are, good
service is good service. So the prophet
wasallam saw this old woman. She had no
one beside her to help and she was
trying to lift some luggage up onto her
satchel onto her camel and trying to go
home. When the prophet sallallaihi
wasallam saw her, immediately raced to
help her. He carried them on top and
helped her and dragged the camel along
and helped the old woman and kept her
company all the way until she reached to
her. Put her luggage down, made her
comfortable and made sure that
everything has been given to her. So
then she looked at him and said to him,
"Oh young man, your face is full of
light and your words are full of
comfort. You bring softness to my heart
and you are one of the best people I've
ever met. I thank you for this company.
How can I ever repay you? The only thing
I have is not wealth or money or
possessions but I have an advice for
you. In those days advices used to be
bought for the price of camels in those
days like a price of car today. So he
said yes advise me. Prophet used to
accept advices from old women. So he
said to him she said to him there is a
man his name is Muhammad and he's a very
bad man. He has disunited the people and
disunited us from our family. He teaches
people sorcery and he leads them astray
from the ancestral belief. Keep away
from him. I don't want you to be
destroyed. You are too too good of a
man. So then wah this is a true story.
True story. And she said then finally
she asked him for his name and the
prophetam is patient and calm. What
would one of us
do? He turned around and smiled and said
my name is Muhammad sallallah.aii
wasallam. She said Muhammad sallallahu
alaihi wasallam. She could not do
anything except sit down on her knees
and
say, "I bear witness that there is only
one God and you are his messenger
because only a messenger can be this
way. Only a messenger can be this way."
Brothers and sisters, our dawa doesn't
have to be given with our tongues all
the time. Some of us are not good with
our tongues, but maybe in our character
and attitude which we lack so much
today. I'm going to talk about that a
little bit more.
The prophet sallallaihi wasallam was in
the service of all weak people. One time
a man from Qurayshes, a non-Muslim, he
approached the people and said to them,
Abu Jahal, he used to call him Abdul
Hakam. He was one of the greatest
leaders of the Quraysh. Everyone feared
him. He was a big and strong man, very
wealthy, a leader. And he was one of the
greatest enemies to the prophet
sallallaihi wasallam. He said to the
people, "Excuse me, I'm not from this
land. This man, Abu Hakam, who was
really Abu Jahal, the father of
ignorance, I've loaned him money a long
time ago, and they are due to be given
back to me. I'm a poor man and weak. Can
anyone help me get my money back from
him? So then they looked at each other
and they thought, let's have a bit of a
laugh. They looked at the prophet
sallallahu alaihi wasallam. He was
praying near the cabba and they said to
him, see that man over there? They said,
yes. Said, go to him, ask him to get you
your money. He can do something about
it. So he went to the prophet
sallallaihi wasallam and said to him,
"Excuse me, I've been told by these
people that you can get my money back
from this man. He's taken my money and
my children are going to die of hunger."
The prophet sallallaihi wasallam said,
"Yes, I can help you." Subhan Allah. Abu
Jah, he was the one who wanted to kill
the prophet sallall alaihi wasallam. The
leader paying money to assassinate the
messenger sallallahu alaihi wasallam. He
went and knocked on his door. As soon as
Abu Jahal opened the door, he gave him
the money and the prophet wasallam went
back and said, "This is your money." He
said, "Thank you very
much." The people were looking at him
were flabbergasted. They said, "How did
he do that?" So they went to Abu J. Abu
Jad what's going on here? Why did you
give him the money? This was your
opportunity to kill him. He said, like
this is what we say in Lebanese like in
Arabic, keep away from me. Wall, when he
opened the door, I could see two wild
male camels behind him. They're about to
attack me and rip me apart.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala he is the one
who showed that image to Abu Jahal
because Allahh protects those who stand
alongside Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala we stand along his side truly
brothers and
sisters when one sees the way the
prophet sallallaihi wasallam used to
treat the slaves and the captives again
you'll become speechless the prophet
wasallam did not leave anyone outside of
his compassion and mercy here is bil and
I am so proud to be named
an Ethiopian slave who used to exist at
the time of the prophet sallaihi
wasallam insignificant man meaning
towards the tribes and he was a slave
with when he embraced Islam in secret
found out his his lord the one who
bought him the one who had him and owned
him and he said I own your soul I own
your wealth I own everything that you
save you're not allowed to become a
Muslim he said there is only one god so
Umaya brought him in the scorching sand
and placed in the middle of the desert
and placed a stone over his chest
Brothers and sisters, the sand over
there in Saudi Arabia in
Mecca, the sand is more than 60° C.
It'll burn your back easily. It'll peel
off your skin. And then with a with a a
stone so heavy, so large that needs four
men to carry it was placed on his chest.
And then he was whipped saying, "Say our
our idols are the best." And he would
say, "There's only one God. There's only
one
God." Suddenly, as he was almost about
to kill kill
A man by the name of Abu
Bakr Abu Bakr. He arrived and he said,
"The messenger has sent me." Muhammad
sallallahu alaihi wasallam. I will buy
this man off you. How much do you want
for him? Name the price. And um said to
him, he said, "I'll give him a bit of a
high price." He said, "I want 10 golden
dinners." Everyone laughed around him.
Suddenly, he threw the sack in front of
him. 10 golden dinners. Mayor looked up
and he said, "What a fool you are. You
think that you've accomplished something
here? I would have asked two dinars for
this worthless person. He's worth
nothing. You just bought a worthless
person for 10 dinars." Abu Bakr said,
the messenger sallallahu alaihi wasallam
said, "Oh, Abu Bakr himself said was
being taught by the
messenger, I would have paid 100 dinars
for
him. I would have paid 100." And omea
was darkened in his face and thought,
"Damn, I could have made another 90
golden dinars.
Slaves are valuable in Islam and the
first people who followed the prophet
sallallaihi wasallam were the slaves and
servants and the weak. Then the leaders
followed such as Abu
Bakr and the
rest. The prophet sallallaihi wasallam
used to promise great rewards in
paradise for people who bought slaves
and set them
free or bought women slaves and set them
free and then have the choice of
marrying them or letting them
free. The prophet sallallahu alaihi
wasallam used to say wh meaning a place
in hellfire whale to those who harm
their servants hit them bash them.
And he said, "Every servant must be fed
from the food that you feed your family
with. Must to be given shelter and
comfort must be allowed to do these
things." So much so that one time Abu
Dar Abu Dar made a mistake one time his
servant, he had a servant and he did
something wrong. So Abu Dar slapped him
across the face. Suddenly Abu Dar heard
a voice from behind him. A voice saying
to him,
do you not fear the hellfire because of
this weak person in front of you? Abu
Dar looked back wanting to answer back
and the prophet sallall alaihi wasallam
said to him and he found the prophet
sallallaihi wasallam before him. It was
the messenger sallallahu alaihi wasallam
and he said to him yeah Allah he is for
free for the sake of Allah. I I've set
him free. The prophet sallallaihi
wasallam said if you did not set him
free Allah would have punished you in
the fire.
Subhan
Allah. Which religion in the world or
ideology or or system? I ask you in the
name of Allah, which system in the world
has this mercy and his sensitivity to
even the slaves like that. Who which
which religion? Not
one. Islam honored them and lifted them
until was the caller to the Adam which
we call
today. The prophet sallallahu alaihi
wasallam was even compassionate towards
the animals and the
insects. One time they were out towards
a battle. Suddenly the prophet wasallam
stopped the whole army and he said there
is a bird above me fluttering. Why is
the bird fluttering above youallah? He
said she is crying because someone has
taken her babies from its
nest. Who took them? And a young man
came along and said I did. The prophet
sallall alaihi wasallam said why why do
you want to hurt the feelings of this
mother by taking her
children return them
back. In fact the prophet sallallaihi
wasallam used to say anyone who h who
kills a bird for no reason on the day of
judgment will come to Allah crying and
saying my lord your servant so and so
killed me and he had no reason for
killing me.
Now which the prophet sallall alaihi
wasallam the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wasallam forbid the killing of animals
and insects without a reason and he
specialized the
ants and the
bees because they are mentioned in the
Quran. He also specialized the
woodpecker because it is also mentioned
in the Quran. And the prophet
sallallah.aii
wasallam also specialized the frog
because we have a story about the frog.
When Ibraim, our prophet Ibraimam was
thrown into the fire by his people. The
frog, what can a frog do? If it comes
close to the fire, it'll if its skin
dries up, it's dead. It has to always be
moist. So from the pond, it tried to hop
as close as it can to a fire that's six
stories high. It would get water from
the pond and just spit it out trying to
extinguish the fire. Because of that,
yes, brothers and sisters, the frog
can't do that. But this is a lesson to
us Muslims that you are to do what what
is within your ability. Even if it
cannot benefit, do within your ability.
Allah does not tell you to do things
that are beyond your ability. So here is
the frog. And because it did that, even
though it did nothing, Allah forbid the
killing of any frog for any reason until
the end of time.
If I find the frog in my bed, in my
pillow, in my mouth, Allah, I wouldn't
kill it.
Now, I just remembered my sister-in-law.
I think she is amongst us. And the
reason why I remembered is because she's
so passionate towards animals rights,
but she eats a lot of uh beef and lamb
as well. So, I don't know where that
came from.
The prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam
was so compassionate even to the
non-Muslim
enemies and their
children. Here is an important point for
me which I would like to discuss with
you. We've already heard some examples
about how the prophet sallallaihi
wasallam dealt with a non-Muslim old
lady. That's by
default. Well, what about every other
non-Muslim enemy, friend or foe? Allah
says in the Quran
There is no compulsion in religion. So
prophet wasallam could not compel
anyone. Al Allah also
says you are only but a warner. That's
all you can do. Oh messenger of God.
Allah also says to
him he said remind if the reminders will
benefit those who want to accept those
whose hearts are open they will accept.
Allah also says in the
Quran to the prophet sallall alaihi
wasallam you are not allowed to force
them or compel them.
So where did people get the notion that
Muslims were commanded or Islam was
spread with the sword? Wall any person
who be careful any person who says that
and you meet with a historian Muslim or
non-Muslim or somebody who is educated
in this area they will laugh at you.
They will laugh at you and mock you but
unfortunately there's too many ignorant
people out there. Those who read history
you will never find that Islam was
spread through the sword. How could it
be? It's it's it makes no sense. If you
can't become a Muslim unless you really
sincerely believe it from your heart,
how can I force you into Islam? You're
not a Muslim. In fact, you become more
dangerous to me because I will think
you're a Muslim, but in fact, you're
just a hypocrite hiding and spying on
me. You could harm me more than anyone
else. So, this notion is
pathetic,
impossible. Having said this, the
prophet sallallah.aii wasallam used to
have a Jewish neighbor. You know how you
know Muslims are about you know
culturally we hate Jews and we mock Jews
and things like that. Well this is wrong
from these are comes from only ignorant
people Christians or Muslims or whoever
they are. Prophet wasallam did not
generalize and he treated every
individual alone. He had a Jewish
neighbor and the prophet sallallaihi
wasallam used to experience some harm
from him. So he used to place his
rubbish in front of the prophetam's
house very frequently and the prophet
peace be upon him used to clean it up.
One day or a few days passed one time
there was no rubbish in front of the
prophet sallallaihi wasallam's house. So
the prophet peace be upon him understood
that something's wrong with his neighbor
and jabam had told him to be dutiful to
the neighbor to the point where the
prophet sallallaihi wasallam thought
that jabir is about to tell him and when
you die your neighbor has to take
everything you have. The prophet sallall
alaihi wasallam went and visited the
Jewish man and he found him sick. The
Jewish man asked how did you know I was
harmed? How did you know I was sick? The
prophet sallallaihi wasallam said to
him, "Well, the only way I knew is
because of your
rubbish." That Jewish neighbor became a
Muslim. And he be witness that he is the
messenger of God. Our
character, the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wasallam when he went into a battle like
fighting, when he was forced into
fighting, he had to fight after 14 years
of persecution.
They forced him to fight them in a
battle because if he didn't fight them
back, they were going to kill him and
the people with him. And I would like to
make a little term understandable here.
A lot of pe people think when they read
verses in the Quran about fighting and
battles and war, they think they read it
wrong. When Allah says, for
example, fight them, they interpret it
as saying kill them, massacre them,
attack
them. Means to fight back. When someone
fights you, you engage in fighting back.
This is
called mutual fighting. When someone
because Allah says do not attack. Allah
does not like the people who attack. But
meaning if they start you then fight
them back. Don't sit there and let them
massacre you because then Islam will be
stopped from spiriting and the weak
people will be oppressed by these
villains, these terrorists.
Now so the prophet when he went out to a
battle, he used to stop his companions
and give them a valuable lesson. And the
battle was never ever practiced. No wars
were practiced for 14 years. Does anyone
know why? I would like to ask that
question from anybody here in the
audience. Does anyone know why? The
major reason why 14
years battle was not commanded.
That's number one. Allah did not allow
it. But I'm asking the reason why Allah
did not allow it yet. Does anyone sorry?
Okay, that's number one. to implemented
but still they had from the word go.
There was something a little bit more
than that within that comes
withhed. I'll give you a
clue. Wars have conditions in Islam,
don't they?
And when you're in a battle and people
are charging and you see your brother
and your sister, your brother and your
sister and your father and your uncle
bleeding to death, would you be in the
right state of mind? Would you be able
to respect the conditions of war?
No. So now does anyone still know why?
Increase the number of people. Sorry.
The companion so that they are not all
relatives. They're not all brothers.
Good try, brother. But I don't think
that's the answer. Inshallah.
That's it. To fight only for the sake of
Allah. In other words, to instill the
etiquets of manners and patience in
their hearts. Because when you're out in
battle, you have to respect the
conditions of
fighting. One companion, he was out
fighting. The man, he was about to kill
another man. And then the man struck him
with his sword that hurt him. And I
think that was Im. So then the companion
lifted his sword up and this time he
wanted to kill him with more aggression.
Suddenly he stopped and walked away. He
left him and he went away. The
companions asked him, "Why did you leave
him?" He said, "Because before I was
fighting in the cause of Allah and Allah
only commands us in justice. But when he
hit me and hurt me, I wanted to kill him
out of revenge."
But the prophet sallallaihi wasallam
taught us for 14 years with practice so
we may have manners of
war. Which religion which which society
has that as well? So he used to say to
them behold we have been sent a people
to take the people from the worship of
created things to the worship of the
creator of all things and to save the
people from injustice into the openness
and mercy of Islam and to bring justice
to the earth. Do not kill an old man of
your amongst your enemies if he is not
fighting you. Do not kill a woman who is
not fighting you. Wah even if she is in
the ranks of the enemies. Do not kill a
child. Do not cut off the branches of
trees. Do not kill an animal and do not
ruin soil and do not be excessive in
killing. Do not mutilate the
bodies and look after the affairs and
the conditions of war. And if you hold
captives out of this war, then feed them
from what you feed from your f your
family and treat them well as you would
treat a guest. For they are your
captives and you have power over them.
And Allah does not like people who have
oppression over the weak ones when they
have power over
them. They caught captives from the
wars,
non-Muslims. Wall, not one captive was
tortured in Islam in those days and in
the later years to come. And one
particular forgotten his name prophetam
brought him and tied him to the pillar
of the mosque of the masjid
mjinai. And that's what he used to do
with the captives. Tie them up, give
them food. All the Muslims come past,
smile to him, treat him well, ask him if
he needs anything. If he wants to bathe,
he can bathe even wall. They give him
clothes just so that he can look and see
how the Muslims live their life. Allah
says in the Quran and if a enemy
non-believer comes to you to seek refuge
meaning says listen you know I've come
to you without any harm Allah says then
grant him security until he hears the
words of Allah that's all we want to do
we just want you to hear the words of
Allah and then you can go your own way
so he tied him up and they let him hear
the words of Allah and he would reject
day by day reject on the third day the
prophet sallallaihi wasallam said to
them let him free and let him go back to
his land so the man went free and he
left. They gave him a horse and he left.
A few kilometers down the man came back.
He got off his horse and he said to him,
"I bear witness that that there is only
one God and you are his messenger." The
prophet sallallaihi wasallam asked him,
"Why didn't you embrace beforehand?" He
said, "Do you know what he said?" He
said, "So that people will not think
that I embraced Islam out of force
because you held me captive. I wanted to
embrace Islam to show the world that
Islam is just and I became a Muslim out
of my own will.
Now prophet sallallaihi wasallam was
merciful at the day when he came back to
Mecca. The ped people who initiated the
violence towards them and persecuted and
threw them out of their homes and exiled
them. The prophet sallallaihi wasallam
came back with a huge army and the Mecca
people started looking at themselves and
saying what is Muhammad going to do with
us sallallahu alaihi wasallam. Some of
them would say he is going to kill our
men and take our women. He is going to
capture our children. He is going to
take our homes and torture us. What's he
going to do with us? Prophet sallallaihi
wasallam entered and he said to all of
his people, his companions, all of you,
lower your swords. And then he called
out, he gathered them and he said to
them, "What do you think that I'm going
to do with
you?" Amongst them was Hind, the one who
killed the prophetam's uncle
Hamz when she killed him, the prophet
she opened his chest up and cut off his
ears and his eyes and his ear and and
and tried to eat his liver. The prophet
sallallaihi wasallam when he saw him he
held tightly onto his back teeth and and
he got
tearary and when she became a Muslim
prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam
didn't even look at her or the other
man but he didn't even hug he said what
do you think I'm going to do with you
they said we are at your mercy the
prophet sallallaihi wasallam
said go for you are free
people and whoever enters their home
they are
Whoever enters the house of Abu
Sufyan because he had a leadership
there. He liked being a leader. Then he
is
safe. That day he won over all of the
Meccans. All of them. And today we see
how much Islam there is over there. The
prophet wasallam was merciful towards
the sinners and the ignorant. Not like
us. As soon as a person says uh
something wrong in Islam, we call him
aid, we call him
names, an apostate, a rejector of faith.
Kill him, he ought to be
killed. Islam says, "And I bring you all
the mashallah." But what they lack is
understanding what the
mean. We got a lot of scholars here
these days. Not
here, all over the world. Unfortunately,
the prophet sallall alaihi wasallam used
to treat the sinners and the ignorant
people with too much kindness because he
understood when a person doesn't know
that they ought to be
taught. A person a major sinner came to
the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam
saying I committed a major major
sin. What should I do? The prophet
wasallam said to him do you have a
mother? He said my mother is dead. Do
you have a father? He said my father is
dead. He said to him do you have an
auntie? meaning the mother's
sister that's who comes after the mother
he said yes he said go and be beautiful
and kind to her and Allah will forgive
your major sin look how much mercy the
prophet sallallaihi wasallam has he
didn't tell him you ought to be stoned
no or that woman who came to prophet
wasallam and said yeah I am pregnant
from zena stone
me subhan allah he turned away from her
the first time maybe she's drunk maybe
she's ignorant giving her a chance to go
away and repent to Allah another way. So
she returned back to him. Allah, I'm a
pregnant woman from Z. Purify me. Stone
me to death. The prophet sallallaihi
wasallam turned again away from her
trying to ignore her the third time. And
then a fourth time when she be witness
four times against herself and insisted
he said to her go back until you give
birth to the baby that's in your
stomach. What has he done? Why should he
die with you? So she returned and in the
hope prophet is hoping that she will not
return and ask Allah to pardon and
forgive her because Allah is merciful
and to hide it. Nine months later she
returned and she said to him here's my
child now purify me. The prophet
sallallaihi wasallam looked and said go
back until the child has been until the
child no longer needs your breast milk.
He needs your breast
milk. So she left and after 2 years
talking about 2 years and 9 months she
returned back to the prophet sallallahu
alaihi wasallam. When prophet wasallam
saw that she was insistive on it and she
wanted the forgiveness of Allahhala they
took her and she was stoned and then the
people they thought like they they felt
like she's a bad woman. When the prophet
sallall alaihi wasallam saw this
attitude he stood up before everybody
and made a legacy for her which lasts
till today until the last hour. He said
wall this woman has repented such a
repentance that if all the people of
Medina were to commit the same zena and
you were to place on the scale her
repentance would have overcome them all.
Not one of them will equal her.
The prophet sallallaihi wasallam was
merciful to all the what about the
better man who entered the masjid one
time when the prophet wasallam was
sitting the companions were around him
he felt like going to the toilet to the
bed when a rude man and doesn't
understand went to one of the corners of
the masjid started to urinate just went
to the corner and began urinating in the
middle of the in the masjid well the
companions who were still not ready for
that they took out their
swords the prophet sallall alaihi
wasallam
said no no no let him
finish. Allah he said let him finish
sallallahu alaihi wasallam. When the man
finished he said bring some water and
clean it up and he called the man aside
and he addressed him with such a kind
manner that this bad has never heard it
from even his mother ever. How
compassionate is the mother? He never
even heard it from his mother. Finally
the prophet sallallam said to him and I
can't describe the way he said it. He
said it is normal for a human being to
need to urinate but this place has not
been set for such an
act. The bad one looked up to him and
cried. Ban doesn't cry, hardly cries and
said to
him, I sacrifice everything I have for
you before my mother and father and
messenger of
God. Subhan
Allah. Once questioned the prophet
wasallam. She said to him, "Yeahool
Allah, does Allah know all the secrets?"
Even no matter even if we we spoke in
secret, she actually didn't believe that
Allah knows all the
secrets. This is a true hadith. And the
prophet sallallaihi wasallam didn't say,
"You're an apostate. How dare you say
that Allah knows all the secrets."
No, he said to her, "Yes, he's educating
her." The prophet sallallaihi wasallam
was so kind to the children. I'm sorry
if I'm taking a bit of time, but I like
to shorten the question answer time
because I don't really like them too
much. Sorry to say that. I'd like to
talk more about this a little bit more.
Inshallah. The prophet sallallahu alaihi
wasallam, he was so kind to the
children, to his wives, and to the women
in
general. First, I begin with the
children. Maybe you haven't heard this
particular incident before. Wallah, he
really pleases
me. A young boy only about probably 11
or 12 years old at the time of the
prophet sallallaihi wasallam he used to
have a pet
bird. What did he
have? A pet
bird and used to love this bird and he
called it a name. I think I'm not sure I
forgot the name. If someone can correct
me I think its name was
what was it?
[Applause]
The bird's name
was prophetam knew how the boy liked and
prophet wasallam used to you know share
his his joy with him. One day died the
bird died and the boy was very sad. The
prophet sallallaihi wasallam pack put
his clothes on got up and headed towards
the young boy. Where are you going out?
He said, "I am going to to pass my
condolences on to the boy and make him
feel comfortable and happy because he
lost a beloved of
his." I just remembered my culture, the,
you know, Lebanese culture. If a boy was
crying for his bird, they say, "Get out
of me and it's just a bird. Kick it
aside. Put in rubbish. Burn
it. You suck." That's what they would
say.
Okay, we have to wrap it up inshallah.
But I really would like to say this last
thing because of
Mahib. Can I say this last thing,
brother? The prophet sallallah.aii
wasallam. One of the first things that
he did and this is a message out to the
people who
say that Muslims mistreat their
women. and look at the women and females
as a lower class than the
men. I am talking about John
Howard. Mashallah, he went to the extent
of writing a book that
Muslim I have to agree with him with one
little tiny bit and I'm not trying to be
save myself from anything here.
Some Muslims not because of their
Islamic nature. It is because of their
cultural nature. Wherever they're from,
wherever you're from, cultural nature.
My Arabic nature for example. Yes. Some
of them are very very wicked to their
wives and very wicked to their daughters
and they mistreat the daughters and they
favor the boy and they wish that the
daughters were dead. Now this is true.
So in a way I don't blame John Howard
but I wish that he would have just
asked for crying out you're the prime
minister of the country you can enter
any masjid you want no one will kill you
don't worry just
ask Muslims are not known to do these
things so one of the first things the
prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam
did was that he abolished the favorism
of boys above girls.
The Arabs in those days, they used to
bury their daughters alive. They used to
practice female
infanticide. It's a criminal act of
killing your baby
daughter. And don't think that this act
is not practiced today in some
countries. I do not want to mention
which countries as to not offend some
people of that country who are who may
be sitting
here. But this is actually practiced.
The killing of young
females whether they are in the fetus or
whether they
are one year old or two years old they
kill them. They kill
them because they have a culture and the
culture
is that the boy carries on the name of
the family and when a when a when a
woman gets married she has to be a part
of the husband's family. Whereas in
Islam, the woman must keep her father's
surname. Did you know that? When she
gets married, like I'm
Assad. My wife
is, she still maintains her surname, her
father's name. Allah says in the
Quran, call them by their father's
names. This is most just in the eyes of
God. Which religion has that? Which?
Come on. Which system has that? Not one.
to make her independent of her own
name. The first thing he abolished was
the burying of them alive. I will tell
you this story. A man that existed
amongst the companions who used to like
could see him talking normal and smiling
or laughing and then suddenly at
occasions he would start to cry and cry
so much until he went
unconscious. The companions told the
prophetam about this man to try and read
on him for healing. So the prophet
sallallaihi wasallam called this man and
wanted to help him and took him aside
and he said what what what happens to
you my brother? The man said to him,
"Yahool Allah, I was never going to tell
anyone this, but now that you've asked
me, I must tell you. Before I embraced
Islam, I used to have a
daughter. When she was born, I wanted to
bury
her because the
cultural ideology came into my
mind. And I started to think that when
she grows older, she will bring shame to
my family."
But I stopped myself. My heart for my
daughter was overpowering
me. Years and years went by as I watched
her
grow. And then one day when she reached
close to a blossoming age, she was about
to become a
lady. He said, "I began to have
nightmares and
desperation and distress.
The pain of my culturalism came into me
thinking of the shame that my daughter
is going to bring with me if she walked
off with another fellow and brought
shame to my all my
ancestors. Day by day I wanted to do
something but then my heart my love
stopped me until one day he said I could
not handle it anymore
yet. I said to her
mother, dress her up with a with neat
clothes and comb her hair nicely and
decorate her face and tell her your
father today is taking you out to a
party, a celebration so that she can
play with the other friends of
hers. The mother knew that the father
was up to a plot and a plan. So she
dressed her daughter up. She combed her
hair while she was crying. The mother
was crying and she pouted her face and
made her nice. While the mother was
crying, the daughter's asking, "What's
wrong, mother?" And the mother would
say, "Nothing, daughter. She's not
allowed otherwise the husband will beat
her or probably even kill her." The
daughter said, "Daddy's taking me out
for a celebration. I love my
dad." After c after decorating her, the
father came along in the evening and he
took his daughter. The wife grabbed the
prophet, grabbed her husband's hand and
said to him and whispered to him, but
his daughter could hear and she said
some words that made his heart shiver
and the word and the daughter to
remember. Oh man, do not lose the trust.
Your daughter is your
trust. The man took his daughter away.
And on his way, he's thinking to
himself, what am I going to do? and a
daughter is playing around her father
thinking that her father loves her. He
said, "I approached a very deep well
which was steep and deep and it had
rocks, sharp rocks at the bottom." He
said, "Suddenly the pains and agonism,
my culturism came and burnt me and I
began to think, should I throw her?
Should I not throw her?" So I would come
close. Then my heart would not let me.
Suddenly the culturalism would come in.
He said, "I wrestled and wrestled.
Suddenly when I came close to the well,
I grabbed my daughter and I threw her
into the well. And my daughter held with
her open horrific eyes looking at me and
saying to me,
"Daddy, oh dad, don't lose the trust.
Don't lose the trust, daddy." And the
prophet and the man then threw her into
the well. He said, she kept falling
saying until her tiny voice went away. I
couldn't hear her anymore. She died. The
prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam
looked up at him and his beard was
soaked with tears. Sallallahu alaihi
wasallam.
And the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wasallam's beard was soaked with tears.
And he said to
him, if Allahh was to
allow me to punish anyone for the
killing and murder of anyone before
Islam, I would have started with you. I
would have started with you. Prophet
sallallahu alaihi wasallam was the most
compassionate even to the women. And he
used to say to
them, take care of your precious pearls,
your daughters and your wives.
Have kindness towards your wives and be
patient with them. Be patient with them
for they make a lot of mistakes and you
are not
infallible. The prophet wasallam said if
you see a bad habit of hers then
remember the good things that she does
and overcome that with that and forgive
her for her illcomings. He also used to
help his wives clean and sew and
sometimes even cook and look after the
children when they were tired except
when prayer came said it's as if the
prophet sallallaihi wasallam didn't know
us. He had to remember his lord. The
prophet sallallaihi wasallam used to his
first love
was and he never got married to another
woman
until died. But in her time he loved her
the most and after her he loved her the
most until one time saw the prophet
wasallam sitting with an old woman. old
woman probably in her 70s and he was
talking and laughing like enjoying some
stories just stories and Aisha got
jealous subhan Allah she was very young
got jealous of this old woman so she
came to the prophetam and said to
him you know woman who's that old woman
you know old and she's young that's what
she's trying to say the prophet
sallallaihi wasallam laughed and he said
so she was one
of she was one of the friends of which
brought even heavier a burden on what he
still remembers is his wife and she's
dead. He said she said to him a friend
of khadas said but didn't Allahha give
you someone better she means
herself the prophetam put a straight
face on immediately and he said to
her by Allah Allah did
not
replace with anyone better than her
which means
you for she is the
who gave victory to me when everyone
else left me. She is the one who
believed me when everyone else said I'm
a liar. She is the one who clothed me
and put the blanket on top of me when I
was shivering and thinking that I have
been hypnotized by some devil. And she
said to me, "You are a truthful man and
honest man who gives the poor and looks
after the needy. Allah will not never
let you down." So she supported me when
everyone else left me. And to top the
cake, he said, "And Allah gave me from
her daughters and
sons." Couldn't have any
children. Understood her mistake and
said, "Yahool Allah, forgive me and ask
Allah to forgive
me." My brothers and sisters in Islam, I
have run out of time. If you give me
time in the questions and answers, I can
answer why we love the messenger
sallallahu alaihi wasallam the most. As
for now, I will leave you inshallah with
that. Come back inshallah to hear the
the the answer to that question.
