Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm
Shukr to Allāh ﷻ, Allāh ﷻ is letting us reach these beautiful occasions. May Allāh ﷻ reward those who have come here. Because they have come for the pleasure of Allāh ﷻ and for the love of our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. We have gathered here. May Allāh ﷻ be pleased with all of you.
This Mawlid, the birthday of our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam brings light to humanity. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla created humanity from the light of our Holy Prophet ﷺ. Therefore, honoring our Holy Prophet ﷺ, loving our Holy Prophet ﷺ makes us attain the pleasure of Allāh ﷻ. It is what’s most beneficial.
People ask what’s the most beneficial thing. Money and all has no benefit. The benefit is in loving our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, in respecting him ﷺ. To respect him ﷺ and to follow his ﷺ way, to love him ﷺ is the greatest gain for Muslims. Even for non-Muslims.
Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla created everything, every favour for the honor of our Holy Prophet ﷺ. Everyone who benefits from it benefits from the light of our Holy Prophet ﷺ. Whatever there is in the universe, Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla created it for the honor of our Holy Prophet ﷺ. He ﷻ dedicated it to his ﷺ love.
His ﷺ love is farḍ for Muslims. Who doesn’t love our Holy Prophet ﷺ, the one who doesn’t like him ﷺ the most is shayṭān. And those who follow him don’t love him ﷺ too. And Muslims are cheated and cheat.
They say, “If you love our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam too much, you make a partner with Allāh ﷻ, you make shirk with Allāh ﷻ.” Shayṭān has made such a trap. Who have little mind are cheated by him and become enemies to Muslims. They oppress Muslims. They strive to prevent this thing as much as they can.
It’s been so since the time of our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. But sometimes it occurs too much. As soon as there is a chance, they come out and create mess all around. They mislead people out of the way.
They do everything they can so that those on the way of our Holy Prophet ﷺ go astray. They seem as true but order falsehood. They say shirk and ḥarām. And then they ban honoring our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. They deprive people from that.
People are deprived from the shafa’ah of our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam and the favours given by Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla to them.
They know the ḥadīth sharīf of our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. This group we call Muslim is cheated by shayṭān. They know the ḥadīths the most, but they don’t understand what they read. If they understood, they wouldn’t do so.
Our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says “Whoever gives ṣalātu s-salām to me, I return it.” Our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam says, “I accept it.” Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla gives him his reward. He ﷻ gives it ten fold.
Therefore, it doesn’t work for shayṭān. He doesn’t want for Muslims to earn such thawāb and to be close to Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. He wants to take everyone to hell with him.
Therefore, this occasion of Mawlid is a beautiful occasion. It is nice to celebrate it everywhere. But unfortunately, some places don’t allow it. They don’t want it. And people get deprived from this benefit. They are deprived from the greatest gain in their lives. They say they can’t and they won’t do it. You may, if you don’t want to.
But if you prevent others, you will be accountable for that. May Allāh ﷻ protect us from the evil of shayṭān. May we be on the way of our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, in shā’a Llāh. May we be from His ﷻ beloved servants, in shā’a Llāh. May Allāh ﷻ bless these days, in shā’a Llāh.
Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq.
Al-Fatiha.
