Auto-generated transcript:Peace be upon you all.
I remind myself and you, let us make this into
a regular
practice of ours.
I don't like to use the word habit
because habits are unthinking
actions. I'm talking about
conscious thinking action.
To send salat and salam on Rasulullah
s.a.w. throughout
the day, throughout the night, every waking
moment. Keep your tongue moist
with the dhikr of Allah and
among the afzal of the dhikr of Allah
is to send salat and salam on
the Rasulullah s.a.w.
And this is the only thing,
only thing for which
Allah s.w.t.
said the one who sends
salam on me one time, Allah s.w.t.
will send salam on him ten times
for each one time. Only thing.
So let us take advantage of that
to send salat and salam
on Rasulullah s.a.w.
I was
reflecting for myself
in the presence
of our Sheikh
that it is
amazing
that he is sending salat and salam
on me.
And I was thinking
that if I ask you, for example,
and I use this example there,
I say that if, for example,
if through this door in the front,
if Rasulullah s.a.w.
walks into this masjid,
imagine this, just think about this, right?
Many of us make dua,
O Allah, show me the Rasul
s.a.w. in my dream.
So let us imagine that he walks in
through this masjid.
How many of us here, and you don't know,
how many of us here,
and you don't need to answer this question to me,
it's for ourselves,
how many of us here
will recognize him?
How many will recognize him?
I'm not talking about how many will say,
Oh, Mashallah, this is such a handsome man,
wonderful man, I don't know who.
Or will you stand up and say,
Assalamu alaikum, Ya Rasulullah, SubhanAllah.
You have come to my masjid.
How many of us will say that?
We ask Allah s.w.t,
show me the Rasul in my dream.
How do you know you're seeing the Rasul?
If Nabi s.a.w. comes in your dream,
how do you know that you are seeing
Rasul s.a.w.?
If we ask ourselves and say,
and I suggest this also,
so when this shock treatment happens,
which I hope it will happen,
be prepared for it.
If someone gives you a plain sheet of paper
and says, write down on the sheet of paper,
what you know about Rasulullah s.a.w.
How many of us can fill one sheet,
just one single 15 line sheet of paper
with what we know about Rasulullah s.a.w.
Whatever it is.
How many of us can do that?
And to me, this is the SubhanAllah,
may Allah SubhanAllah forgive us.
Wallahi, this is something we should collectively ask
Allah s forgiveness.
We must make tawbah, sincere tawbah.
Stand before Allah s.w.t.
Pray two rak'ahs Salah and in sujood,
cry, weep and say,
Allah, forgive me for forgetting your Nabi.
Forgive me for forgetting your Nabi.
The tragedy is not that
the enemies of Islam
criticize the Prophet s.a.w.
or try to attack Islam.
The tragedy is,
the Muslims have forgotten the Nabi.
We have forgotten the Nabi.
We have reduced
the Zikr of Rasulullah s.a.w.
to one day in the year.
And then we have a dispute.
Is this Milad Mawlud?
Is it Milad Sharif and Milad n-Nabi?
Is it Sunnah?
Is it Bida?
Let us accept.
Milad n-Nabi, Bida.
Haram.
Don't do it.
On the 12th of Rabiul Awal, don't do it.
That is one day in 365.
What about the other 364?
What about January 1?
What about October 20?
Pick any date you want.
Do we gather?
Do we sit together?
Do we talk about
the Nabi's?
What do we know about him?
If Allah Ta'ala had wanted
and Allah is the only one
who had wanted
to make him the Prophet s.a.w.,
he was the Prophet s.a.w.
He is our Prophet s.a.w.
He is our Prophet s.a.w.
We all know that
he is our Prophet s.a.w.
He is our Prophet s.a.w.
wanted and Allah is Allah.
خَالِقُ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ
بَضِعُ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ
فَاتِرُ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ
رَذَّاقُ ذُو الْقُوَّةِ الْمَتِينِ
خَالِقُ كُلِّ أَشْيَا وَالْأَحْوَالِ
وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
There is no,
there are no hudud
to the khudrat of Allah
Subhanahu wa ta'ala.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
could have sent his kalam,
kalamul majeed.
He could have commanded Jibreel a.s.
to go and land on top of the Kaaba
