Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm
Sohbah on 17 October 2021 by Mawlana Sheikh Muhammad Adil Ar Rabbaniق
As it is our Holy Prophet’s ﷺ month, it is useful for us and those who are listening inshā’Allāh to tell about his ﷺ beauties.
People want to resemble someone. While considering this and that one, people don’t know whom to follow; whereas, Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla says that our Holy Prophet ﷺ is the one to follow.
‘لَّقَدْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أُسْوَةٌحَسَنَةٌ’
‘La-qad kāna lakum fī rasūli llāhi ʾuswatun ḥasanatun’
‘Indeed in the Messenger of Allah you have a good example to follow.’ (Qur’ān 33:21).
Our Holy Prophet ﷺ is the best path for you. Imitate him ﷺ. Do whatever he ﷺ does. This is the order of Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla. People who follow him ﷺ, who follow his footsteps ﷺ and who keep his ﷺ Sunnah will reach perfection and the highest ranks among people and in the presence of Allāh ﷻ.
Everything he ﷺ did was perfect. The best, the rightest, the most beautiful in everything was done by our Holy Prophet ﷺ. No one can do what our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam did. His ﷺ beautiful manners and character are given by Allāh.
“أدبني ربي فأحسن تأديبي”,“Addabanī Rabbī fa-aḥsana ta’dībi”, “My Lord perfected my good manners.” He ﷺ says, “Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla taught me Adab”. He ﷻ taught him the best.
People need a good example. And that is our Holy Prophet ﷺ. With the order of Allāh ‘Azza wa Jalla we should resemble our Holy Prophet ﷺ. Who resembles him ﷺ will have a good and comfortable life in this world as well.
Comfortable not with money and fame, but with peace and beauty given by Allāh ﷻ. Otherwise, people with lots of money have neither beauty nor peace when they’re not on the way of Allāh ﷻ.
Who are on the way of Allāh ﷻ may have money, but as they are with Allāh ﷻ and show respect to our Holy Prophet ﷺ it is much better for them. Because their actions will be for the pleasure of Allāh ﷻ. They will follow not their worldly benefit, but whatever brings the pleasure of Allāh ﷻ.
Our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam has many attributes. Loyal, truthful, and he keeps his promise. Our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says to never lie. Don’t lie even as a joke. You can make a joke without lying.
But to promise something and not to keep it – our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says if you promise something even to a child, you have to keep it.
It is wrong to break it by thinking that children don’t understand. There is a lot of wisdom. If you promise a child to do something and don’t keep your word, he will remember it by the wisdom of Allāh ﷻ.
He will think “So this is how adults do. I should do the same”. So he will do the same to one child, to two, five or ten children. One after another, the children do the same and all the Ummah can be destroyed.
Every word of our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam is full of wisdom. They are not for nothing. The matter is not finished when you cheat a child. It destroys everyone. And then they say this government is bad and people are bad.
They look for faults in others, whereas you taught cheating and lying to your child in the beginning. You taught how to break a promise. And then you look for someone else to blame.
These are from the beautiful things our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam teaches. We should follow the tiniest, the smallest thing our Holy Prophet ﷺ says. It is important. It is for the better of the Ummah.
The more you follow them, the more mercy and blessings will be given to you by Allāh ﷻ.
Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq.
Al-Fatiha.
