Make Du’ā’ for His ﷺ Sake

Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm

Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm, for the sake of the blessed face of our Holy Prophet, “يُسْتسقَى الغَمامُ بوَجهِه الكَريم”. For the sake of his ﷺ face, Allāh ﷻ sends rain. One of his ﷺ miracles was that when he ﷺ was still a child with his ﷺ uncle, they had drought like the days we are experiencing.

Now, may Allah ﷻ protect us. There is drought all over the world. Also, if it rains, it causes people to suffer. Therefore, his ﷺ uncle who had took him ﷺ made du’ā’, “May Allāh ﷻ send us rain for the sake of this boy.” Then, abundant rain fell. People and animals were saved. That is a famous incident.

Therefore, it is sunnah for us to seek every good for the sake of his ﷺ face, for the benefit of humanity. Those who believe in that will certainly attain from that benefit. There will be all kinds of cure, barakah, and they will have righteous children.

Ask for the sake of our Prophet ﷺ. Because if we seek du’ā’ for ourselves, Allāh ﷻ does not reject du’ā’s but He ﷻ delays them. But for the sake of the Prophet ﷺ, He ﷻ does not trouble people. May Allāh ﷻ help us.

People are now living in all kinds of hardships. It is the day of our ‎Prophet’s ﷺ Mawlid, the month of Mawlid. Very few people remember it. No one remembers it.

Even if they do, some people tell them that this is wrong, and they try to prevent them saying, “You are committing a sin.” When they do so, people are deprived of reward, virtue, and intercession.

In shā’a Llāh tonight, there is tasbihāt for rain. This is also the day of Mawlid, the Mawlid of our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. No one can deny what happened on that day of his ﷺ birth. Those who are the most stern, the most opposed to our Prophet ﷺ cannot deny it either.

That night, the thousand-year-old fire of the Zoroastrians was extinguished. Kisra’s palace was destroyed. Many events took place that night. This Mawlid night was a sign of blessing for people from his ﷺ birth. Believers must know this.

There are Mawlid books, books on the description of Mawlid. They explain how, what happened, and so. They don’t allow people to read them because they say it’s bid’ah. They get angry at those who do. They don’t want to teach people about this, about how blessed his ﷺ birth day is.

Well, we are Muslims, they say, “This is not necessary, This is bid’ah, it’s wrong.” They say, “Our Prophet ﷺ didn’t do it.” Our Prophet ‘aleyhi s-salām is already blessed. Being with him ﷺ every day is the most virtuous day in dunyā. We did not live in those days. We strive to do everything in our power to commemorate him ﷺ.

Tonight, with Allah’s ﷻ permission, for the sake of our ‎Prophet ﷺ, we pray for his ﷺ blessings. We pray for the victory of Islām. May the Sāhib come. May he let those who do not know themselves know their limit. May he awaken Muslims. May he save people. We ask for this, in shā’a Llāh.

Of course, on this occasion, shukr to Allāh ﷻ, this congregation of believers, murids, and loved ones. This place where we sit was built during the time of our Shaykh, Mawlānā Shaykh Nāẓim. The congregation was huge back then.

Now, Masha’Allah, it is multiplying with his himmah and barakah. Today, on this occasion, we will celebrate the opening of our new masjid there tonight, in shā’a Llāh. We will also recite these tasbihat.

May Allah ﷻ send down His ﷻ barakah, both outwardly and inwardly. May those barakahs be upon us, in shā’a Llāh. May Allah ﷻ bless us. May abundant rain of mercy shower upon us, O Allah ﷻ.

May Allah ﷻ guide the people, those who have gone astray, those who are confused, those who are deceived. May Allah ﷻ guide all of them, in shā’a Llāh.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq.

Al-Fatiha.
