Allāh ‘Aẓīmu sh-Sha’n is praising our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. All beautiful things belong to him .صلى الله عليه وسلم. Our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam is a perfect person. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla sent him صلى الله عليه وسلم as a mercy to us. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla sent him صلى الله عليه وسلم as a mercy to all the worlds. It is great luck to be from his صلى الله عليه وسلم ummah, nation. Compared to other nations, the obligations and worshipping given to our ummah are much easier. That is from the mercy of our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. For the honour of his صلى الله عليه وسلم countenance, Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla treats us with beneficence. The previous nations had more prayers. Our fasting is one month; theirs was six months. And they broke their fast once a day and kept on fasting afterwards. We are saying this as an example. Even though things were more difficult for the previous nations, to be from the nation of our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم has bountiful virtues.
The most beloved servant of Allāh جل جلاله is our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. It is a great honour to be from his صلى الله عليه وسلم ummah. In many places in Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmu sh-Sha’n it is said about our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم, “We جل جلاله sent you صلى الله عليه وسلم as a mercy to the worlds. And you صلى الله عليه وسلم were created with the best manners and characteristics, with the most beautiful adab. That is given to you.” Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla is telling people with His جل جلاله word of truth in Qur’ān ‘Aẓīmu sh-Sha’n. Our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم says, “It is my duty. I صلى الله عليه وسلم was sent to complete all good characteristics.” Our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says so.
By the wisdom of Allāh جل جلاله, for people to believe in, and accept him صلى الله عليه وسلم, Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla created our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam in a place far from most people, where there were no schools or universities. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla sent him صلى الله عليه وسلم there as a prophet to all humanity. Very few people studied there. There was nothing like a school. They would learn [to read and write] from each other, on their own. But our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam was not in a position to do that.
Our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, as you know, by the wisdom of Allāh جل جلاله, was orphaned as a child, losing his صلى الله عليه وسلم mother, father, and grandfather. But Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla is the one who put that knowledge and all the knowledge in the world in his
صلى الله عليه وسلم breast. If people studied for a thousand years, they would not be able to attain so much knowledge. Our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam is a miracle shown by Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla – a true prophet and a mercy – in order for people to easily believe. What is this miracle? It is not karāmah. Karāmah, miraculous deeds, are for awliyā’. Miracles are for prophets. For those who reject the position of our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم, there is no forgiveness. Those who don’t believe our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم after seeing so many of his صلى الله عليه وسلم miracles are called kāfirs because of this. Kāfir means people who don’t admire anything and don’t believe in anything. People who don’t believe in themselves are characterized as kāfirs as well. In any case, mu’mins, believers, follow the beautiful way of our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. They don’t need any other way.
Those who join this way, who are on the right way and follow a murshid, will be directly alongside our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم in Paradise, with permission of Allāh جل جلاله. May Allāh جل جلاله make us steadfast on this way.
For the honour of these beautiful days, for the honour of our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم who was born in this month, may Allāh جل جلاله make us steadfast. May we love him صلى الله عليه وسلم and be from those loved by him صلى الله عليه وسلم, in shā’a Llāh. How does he صلى الله عليه وسلم love us? When you make ṣalawāt, he صلى الله عليه وسلم gives salām to you too. And he صلى الله عليه وسلم loves you. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla gave us this chance. As we said in the beginning, we are very lucky people. No need to complain and say, “I have pain here and there, this and that. My wife is so. My husband is so.” Keep this in mind.
Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla made us from Ummati Muḥammad صلى الله عليه وسلم. The rest are unnecessary things. These things won’t go to ākhirah, but will remain in this world. They will be forgotten in five minutes here, or after a day. They will be gone after a month. This one and that one will go. As we said, what will stay is the love and intercession of our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. That is what is important. The rest is not important at all. You may die of hunger or disease, and it won’t be important; as long as you are on this way, you are in profit, with permission of Allāh جل جلاله.
May Allāh جل جلاله protect us. We don’t want tests. May Allāh جل جلاله give us from His جل جلاله grace and from the mercy of our Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. Don’t ask for patience. Ask for beneficence, iḥsān. Being patient is difficult. Therefore, don’t ask for anything to be patient for. May Allāh جل جلاله not deprive us of the mercy of our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, in shā’a Llāh. May He جل جلاله not deprive us of his صلى الله عليه وسلم intercession, in shā’a Llāh.
Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
