There are several ways to guide. The most reliable way is to give the person a compass to find direction, a map with details of the route and a guide to take them to their destination. That is what Allahﷻ did. He gave us the compass, the Qur’an, a map, the Sunnah, and the guide, Rasoolullahﷺ. The one who rejects any of these is rejecting guidance. Abu Huraira (R) reported: Rasoolullahﷺ said, “Everyone from my nation will enter Jannah except those who refuse.” They asked, “O Messenger of Allah, who will refuse?” The Prophet said, “Whoever obeys me enters Jannah and whoever disobeys me has refused.” (Sahih) BukhariAbout obeying Rasoolullahﷺ, Allahﷻ set a unique standard and declared:فَلَا وَرَبِّكَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ حَتَّىٰ يُحَكِّمُوكَ فِيمَا شَجَرَ بَيْنَهُمْ ثُمَّ لَا يَجِدُوا۟ فِىٓ أَنفُسِهِمْ حَرَجًا مِّمَّا قَضَيْتَ وَيُسَلِّمُوا۟ تَسْلِيمًاNisa 4: 65 But no! By your Rabb, they will never be ˹true˺ believers until they accept you ˹O Prophet˺ as the judge in their disputes and find no resistance within themselves against your decision and submit wholeheartedly.As we know, sin is culpable only when it is committed, either by speech or action. Not when you think or feel disobedient or rebellious. Except in the case of Rasoolullahﷺ. With his rulings, Allahﷻ declared that the condition of Imaan (faith), not just a sin but a boundary condition, is to accept his ruling in any matter and not only to do that visibly but also internally and to do that wholeheartedly without any resistance to it in our hearts.That is the reason it is so important to know Rasoolullahﷺ and to love him more than we love any other human being. Only then can we develop the trust that is necessary to accept whatever he told us, because we know that his source of knowledge was superior to ours, that he always wanted the best for us and that whatever he told us, he had been guided to say. Allahﷻ said:وَمَا يَنطِقُ عَنِ ٱلْهَوَىٰٓ - إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا وَحْىٌ يُوحَىٰNajm 53: 3-4 Nor does he speak of his own whims. It is only a revelation sent down ˹to him˺.This reinforces for us that what comes from Rasoolullahﷺ is always beneficial and important and so must be followed. Allahﷻ declared very simply and powerfully without any reservations or boundaries:مَّن يُطِعِ ٱلرَّسُولَ فَقَدْ أَطَاعَ ٱللَّهَ وَمَن تَوَلَّىٰ فَمَآ أَرْسَلْنَـٰكَ عَلَيْهِمْ حَفِيظًاNisa 4: 80 Whoever obeys the Messenger has truly obeyed Allah. But whoever turns away, then ˹know that˺ We have not sent you as a keeper over them. Allahﷻ declared the fundamental principle of obedience to Rasoolullahﷺ.وَمَآ ءَاتَىٰكُمُ ٱلرَّسُولُ فَخُذُوهُ وَمَا نَهَىٰكُمْ عَنْهُ فَٱنتَهُوا۟ وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ شَدِيدُ ٱلْعِقَابِHashr 59: 7 Whatever the Messenger gives you, take it. And whatever he forbids you from, leave it. And fear Allah. Surely Allah is severe in punishment. Allahﷻ commands – Do whatever he tells you and stay away from whatever he forbids you. This blanket statement shows that Rasoolullahﷺ can never command anything that is contrary to Allahﷻ’s wish.Abu Hurairah (R) said: I heard Rasoolullahﷺ say: What I have forbidden for you, stay away from it. What I have ordered you [to do], do as much of it as you can. For verily, it was only their excessive questioning and disagreeing with their Prophets that destroyed [the nations] who were before you. [Al-Bukhari & Muslim]The principle therefore is to do what Rasoolullahﷺ ordered, to the best of our ability but to stop totally whatever he forbade. He didn’t tell us to stop to the best of our ability. Stop totally and instantly. When Allahﷻ revealed:يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ إِنَّمَا ٱلْخَمْرُ وَٱلْمَيْسِرُ وَٱلْأَنصَابُ وَٱلْأَزْلَـٰمُ رِجْسٌ مِّنْ عَمَلِ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنِ فَٱجْتَنِبُوهُ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَMa’aida 5: 90 O believers! Intoxicants, gambling, idols, and drawing lots for decisions are all evil of Satan’s h...

All knowledge begins with Adab – an attitude of respect for knowledge and everything and everyone related to it. Adab is like the preparation of the soil for planting. Without preparation the best seed will perish. So also with knowledge, especially the knowledge of Islam. Without Adab we may get the words, but never the Noor, the meaning, or the transformation.Allahﷻ set the rules of behavior with Rasoolullahﷺ very strictly and said:يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ لَا تُقَدِّمُوا۟ بَيْنَ يَدَىِ ٱللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِۦ وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ - يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ لَا تَرْفَعُوٓا۟ أَصْوَٰتَكُمْ فَوْقَ صَوْتِ ٱلنَّبِىِّ وَلَا تَجْهَرُوا۟ لَهُۥ بِٱلْقَوْلِ كَجَهْرِ بَعْضِكُمْ لِبَعْضٍ أَن تَحْبَطَ أَعْمَـٰلُكُمْ وَأَنتُمْ لَا تَشْعُرُونَHujuraat 49: 1-2 O believers! Do not proceed ˹in any matter˺ before ˹a decree from˺ Allah and His Messenger. And fear Allah. Surely Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing. O believers! Do not raise your voices above the voice of the Prophet, nor speak loudly to him as you do to one another, or your deeds will become void while you are unaware.In our context since Rasoolullahﷺ is not with us, this means that in any matter we refer to the Qur’an and Sunnah for a ruling. And when we come across a text, we don’t contradict it with our opinions but accept the text with submission. It means that we don’t disregard or ignore what Rasoolullahﷺ may have decreed and don’t use our selfish desires to contradict that.That is the meaning of raising your voice over the voice of the Rasool and putting yourself ahead of Allahﷻ and His Rasool. The punishment for that is complete wiping out of all deeds. Imagine how terrible it would be that we spend our whole life doing all kinds of good deeds and acts of worship and charity but because of loose talk and disrespect towards Rasoolullahﷺ it is all wiped out and we have nothing when we meet Allahﷻ.That is why the Persian poet said: با خدا دیوانہ باش و با محمدﷺ ہوشیارIn our so-called worldly matters where we feel free to decide whichever way it suits us, Allahﷻ specifically commands us to obey the Qur’an and Sunnah.يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ أَطِيعُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُوا۟ ٱلرَّسُولَ وَأُو۟لِى ٱلْأَمْرِ مِنكُمْ فَإِن تَنَـٰزَعْتُمْ فِى شَىْءٍ فَرُدُّوهُ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ وَٱلرَّسُولِ إِن كُنتُمْ تُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْـَٔاخِرِ ذَٰلِكَ خَيْرٌ وَأَحْسَنُ تَأْوِيلًاNisa 4: 59 O believers! Obey Allah and obey the Messenger and those in authority among you. Should you disagree on anything, then refer it to Allah and His Messenger, if you ˹truly˺ believe in Allah and the Last Day. This is the best and fairest resolution.This is one of the many Ayaat which remind us that this life is the preparation for the Aakhira. It shows that no aspect of our lives is outside the purview of Islam and that everything that we say or do has the potential to take us to Jannah provided we do it as Rasoolullahﷺ did it. Study Seerah.The big danger is when we are tempted to say, ‘In my opinion’, when we are faced with an Ayat of the Qur’an or a Sahih Hadith of Rasoolullahﷺ. Make Istighfaar and seek Allahﷻ’s protection from Shaytaan when such a thought comes, because ‘In my opinion’, is the door to disaster. There is no place for any contradictory personal opinion when we have a text – the Qur’an and Sunnah. That is the fundamental rule in Islam. I advise myself and you to be very careful with our language. We enter this Deen by saying some words. It is equally easy to leave the religion if we say the wrong words. So, let’s think and weigh our words before we speak.Ask yourself why Allahﷻ emphasized the Messengership of Rasoolullahﷺ so much and so many times if he was merely a ‘postman’ as some people like to say. Let me assure you that to show the slightest disrespect to Rasoolullahﷺ by using terms that are not suitable to his exalted rank,

My Lord, help me surrender all that I am, so that I can receive all that You seek togive me. Allah, help me to lay down the burden of doubt and to walk freely in faith,trusting that Your plans for me will always be greater than my greatest dreams.Allah, forgive me for the mistakes I have made and the mistakes I will make. MyLord, please remind me that Your goodness will always be greater than my faults,and that Your love will always be greater than my shame. Oh Allah, shine Yourlight upon me, so that my eyes can awaken to Your truth and so that my heart canbe illuminated by the reflection of Your beauty. In Your sublime Names I pray,Ameen.

Ma’aida 5: 3 Forbidden to you are carrion, blood, and swine; what is slaughtered in the name of any other than Allah; what is killed by strangling, beating, a fall, or by being gored to death; what is partly eaten by a predator unless you slaughter it; and what is sacrificed on altars. You are also forbidden to draw lots for decisions. This is all evil. Today the disbelievers have given up all hope of ˹undermining˺ your faith. So do not fear them; fear Me! Today I have perfected your faith for you, completed My favor upon you, and chosen Islam as your way. But whoever is compelled by extreme hunger—not intending to sin—then surely Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
I have a friend who used to train pilots of fighter jets. I asked him what happens when a pilot has serious engine or other problems in flight. He said, ‘We tell them to go back to the Manual.’ I asked, ‘You mean while he is in a tailspin, he is going to read the flight manual?’ He replied, ‘No. Go back to the manual means go to the basic instructions which begin with an instrument check. Very often you find a solution when you go back to the basics.’ In business consulting we give the same advice when we diagnose a problem with a business and are looking to solve it. We use a tool called ‘Root-Cause Analysis’. We ask, ‘Why’, 5 – times. Say, there has been a drop in sales. We ask, ‘Why?’ Because we have too few salespeople. Why? Because they leave. Why? Because they are dissatisfied with the job. Why? Because they are not paid according to merit. Why? Because our managers don’t go to the market and so don’t know what the salespeople must face. Try this with any problem that you face, and you will get to the root cause.
Today we are living in a society which is in a tailspin, headed for a major catastrophe. The magnitude of our crisis can be seen in what we are most famous for. In what we spend the most money, time, energy, technology, effort, brainpower, and mindshare on. And that is in building ever more powerful weapons of mass destruction. As a society, our maximum investment in every way is in massive death. Not in life. Our markers and symbols are ICBMs, highly sophisticated planes, and ships to carry highly complex scientific marvels created for the sole purpose of destroying life in the most massive way possible. Imagine how the world would look if instead, we spent the same, or even half that amount, on providing free education, free health care, cancer research, poverty eradication, housing for the homeless, clean water supply, and to fight global warming and climate change. I can add to this list, but this will suffice. People in the future will marvel and say, ‘They had all that knowledge, all that wealth and yet they did nothing to solve real problems of their society, but instead spent it on creating ways of killing each other. What kind of people were they?’ That is how sick we are. Alhamdulillah for Islam because that is the marker of the Muslims. Not the scientific discoveries and inventions and whatnot. But the ideology of Tawheed and focus on the Aakhira. That is the solution. So, my topic today and for a couple of weeks is Focus on the Fundamentals.

قَالَ الله تَعَالَى عَنْ وَرَثَةِ الفِرْدَوسْ:
قَدْ أَفْلَحَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ
ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ فِى صَلَاتِهِمْ خَـٰشِعُونَ
وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ عَنِ ٱللَّغْوِ مُعْرِضُونَ
وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ لِلزَّكَوٰةِ فَـٰعِلُونَ
وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ لِفُرُوجِهِمْ حَـٰفِظُونَ
وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ لِأَمَـٰنَـٰتِهِمْ وَعَهْدِهِمْ رَٰعُونَ
وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَىٰ صَلَوَٰتِهِمْ يُحَافِظُونَ
أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْوَٰرِثُونَ
ٱلَّذِينَ يَرِثُونَ ٱلْفِرْدَوْسَ هُمْ فِيهَا خَـٰلِدُونَ
سُؤَالٌ لِي وَلَكُمْ - مَا مَعْنَى وَارِثْ؟ مَنْ هُوَ الْوَارِثْ؟
الوَرِيثُ يَمْلِكُ الشَّيْءَ. لاَ شَكَّ فِي حَقِّهِ فِي الشَّيْء.
فِي هَذِهِ الآيَاتِ الكَرِيمَةْ، وَصَفَ اللهُ صِفَاتَ وَرَثَةِ جَنَّةِ الفِرْدَوسْ - مِنَ المُهِمِّ بِالنِّسْبَةِ لَنَا التَّرْكِيزُ عَلىَ الآيَاتِ وَالبَحْثَ فِي قُلُوبِنَا، فِي حَيَاتِنَا، فِي أَخْلَاقِنَا، فِي ثَقَافَتِنَا وَنَسْأَلْ. هَلْ فِينَا أَيٌ مِنْ هَذِهِ الصِّفَاتْ؟ واستغفر والرجوع إِلَى الله بِالتَّوبَةِ الصَّادِقَةِ قَبَلَ اليَوْمِ الذِي نَقِفُ أَمَامَ اللهِ لِلْحِسَابْ.
تحريم ط:٦٦ :٨ يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ تُوبُوٓا۟ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ تَوْبَةً نَّصُوحًا عَسَىٰ رَبُّكُمْ أَن يُكَفِّرَ عَنكُمْ سَيِّـَٔاتِكُمْ وَيُدْخِلَكُمْ جَنَّـٰتٍ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا ٱلْأَنْهَـٰرُ يَوْمَ لَا يُخْزِى ٱللَّهُ ٱلنَّبِىَّ وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ مَعَهُۥ نُورُهُمْ يَسْعَىٰ بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَبِأَيْمَـٰنِهِمْ يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَآ أَتْمِمْ لَنَا نُورَنَا وَٱغْفِرْ لَنَآ إِنَّكَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ - اللّهُمَّ اجْعَلْنَا مَعَهُمْ
إِخْوَانِي وَأَخَوَاتِي الأَعِزَّاءْ، أُذَكِّرُكُمْ وَنَفْسِي أَنَّ هَذِهِ الدُّنْيا مَكَانُ جِهَادٍ. نَحْنُ نَحْصُلُ فَقَطْ عَلَى مَا نَعْمَلُ مِنْ أَجْلِهْ.
قَالَ اللهُ تَعَالَى فِي كِتَابِهِ العَزِيزْ:
النجم ٥٣: ٣٩ -٤٠ وَأَن لَّيْسَ لِلْإِنسَـٰنِ إِلَّا مَا سَعَىٰ
وَأَنَّ سَعْيَهُۥ سَوْفَ يُرَىٰ
كَمَا قُلْتُ مِن قَبلْ، أَعْلَنَ الله تَعَالَى:
قَدْ أَفْلَحَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ
ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ صِفَاتَ المُؤْمِنِينَ النَّاجِحِينْ.
فِي هَذَا ذَكَرَ اللهُ عِبَادَةً وَاحِدَةً مَعَ مَسْأَلَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ مُهِمَّةٍ مِنَ الأَخْلَاقْ. قَالَ الله تَعَالَى:
ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ فِى صَلَاتِهِمْ خَـٰشِعُونَ
وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ عَنِ ٱللَّغْوِ مُعْرِضُونَ
وَأَهَمُّهَا الخُشُوعُ فِي الصَّلاةْ، وَاجْتِنَابُ كُلِّ مَعْصِيَةٍ وَمَا لَا فَائِدَةَ مِنْهْ. مِنَ المُهِمِّ أَنْ نَسْأَلَ أَنْفُسَنَا الآنَ كَيْفَ هُوَ حَالُنَا مَعَ صَلَاتِنَا؟ وَمَا مشغوليتنا فِي وَقْتِ الفَرَاغْ؟
الغَرَضُ مِنْ نُزُولِ القُرَآنِ أَنْ نُفَكِّرَ فِيهِ وَأَنْ نَتَدَبَّرَ أُمُورَهُ وَ أَنْ نَعْمَلَ بِأَحْكَامِهْ.
وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ الله:
وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ لِلزَّكَوٰةِ فَـٰعِلُونَ
وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ لِفُرُوجِهِمْ حَـٰفِظُونَ
العِبَادَةُ مَعَ الأَخْلَاقْ.
الإِسْلَامُ هُوَ دِينُ العَمَلْ. لَيْسَ اسْمُ الأَيْدْيُولُوجِيَا أَوْ اسْمُ خَيَالٍ اوْ فَلْسَفَةٍ وَهَكَذَا.
الأَجْرُ فِي الإِسْلَامِ لِلْعَمَلِ لَا لِلْعِلْمِ فَقَطْ.
نَحْصُلُ عَلَى أَجْرِ الصَّلَاةِ بَعْدَ انْتِهَاءِ الصَّلَاةْ، لَيْسَ فَقَطْ لِمَعْرِفَةِ الصَّلَاةْ، نَفْسُ الشَّيءِ مَعَ كُلِّ الأُمُورِ فِي الإِسْلَامْ، الْأَجْرُ بَعْدَ الْعَمَلْ. وَهَذَا يُوضِحُ أَهَمِّيَةَ الْعَمَلِ فِي الإِسْلَامْ. وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ الله:
وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ لِأَمَـٰنَـٰتِهِمْ وَعَهْدِهِمْ رَٰعُونَ
وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَىٰ صَلَوَٰتِهِمْ يُحَافِظُونَ
ذَكَرَ اللهُ سِتَّةَ أَشْيَاءَ لِيَكُونَ الإِنْسَانُ مِنْ وَرَثَةِ جَنَّةِ الفِرْدَوسْ. الخُشُوعُ فِي الصَّلَاةْ، عَدَمُ ضَيَاعِ الوَقْتْ، وَإِعْطَاءِ الزَّكَاةِ وَالصَّدَقَةْ، وَالحِفَاظِ عَلَى العِفَّة، والوَفَاءِ بِالأَمَانَةِ وَالوُعُودْ، وَالعُقُودِ وَالمُحَافَظَةِ عَلَى الصَّلاَةْ.
انْظُرُوا إِلَى هَذَا بِالْمَعْنَى الدُّنْيَوِيّْ.. مَا قَوْلُكَ عَنِ الإنْسَانِ المُخْلِصِ لِله، الذِي لَا يُضَيِّعُ الوَقْتْ، وَيَتَصَدَّقْ، وَمُخْلِصٌ لِزَوْجَتِهْ، وَ يَصْدُقَ الوَعْدَ وَ كَذَلِكَ المَرْأَةُ المُخْلِصَةُ لِزَوْجِهَا هَلْ سَتَكُونُ صَلَاتُهُ أَوْ صَلَاتُهَا مَقْبُولَةْ؟
هَذَا هُوَ جَمَالُ الِاسْلَامْ، يَجْعُلَكَ فَائِزاً فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالآخِرَةْ.
دَعَا اللهُ هَؤُلَاءِ النَّاسَ بِوَرَثَةِ الفِرْدَوسْ. الَّلهُمَّ اجْعَلْنَا مَعَهُمْ.

بَدَأَ اللهُ كِتَابَهُ بِإِظْهَارِ كَيْفَ نَبْدَأُ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ، كُلَّ لَيْلَةٍ، وَكَيْفَ نُوَاجِهُ كُلَّ مَوْقِفٍ فِي الْحَيَاةِ، سَوَاءٌ كَانَ ذَلِكَ مِنَ السُّهُولَةِ أَوِ الصُّعُوبَةِ. لَقَدْ عَلَّمَنَا أَنْ نُرَكِّزَ عَلَيْهِ، وَأَنْ نَشْكُرَهُ عَلَى كُلِّ مَا أَعْطَانَا إِيَّاهُ
قَالَ: ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ
إِعْتَادَ رَسُولُ الله صلى الله عليه وسلمَ يَقُولَ مَا يَلِيْ عِنْدَمَا يَسْتَيْقِظُ لتَهَجُّدْ:
ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلمَ إِذَا قَامَ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ يَتَهَجَّدُ قَالَ " اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ أَنْتَ قَيِّمُ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ وَمَنْ فِيهِنَّ وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ، لَكَ مُلْكُ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ وَمَنْ فِيهِنَّ، وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ أَنْتَ نُورُ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ، وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ أَنْتَ الْحَقُّ، وَوَعْدُكَ الْحَقُّ، وَلِقَاؤُكَ حَقٌّ، وَقَوْلُكَ حَقٌّ، وَالْجَنَّةُ حَقٌّ، وَالنَّارُ حَقٌّ، وَالنَّبِيُّونَ حَقٌّ، وَمُحَمَّدٌ صلى الله عليه وسلم حَقٌّ، وَالسَّاعَةُ حَقٌّ، اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ أَسْلَمْتُ، وَبِكَ آمَنْتُ وَعَلَيْكَ تَوَكَّلْتُ، وَإِلَيْكَ أَنَبْتُ، وَبِكَ خَاصَمْتُ، وَإِلَيْكَ حَاكَمْتُ، فَاغْفِرْ لِي مَا قَدَّمْتُ وَمَا أَخَّرْتُ، وَمَا أَسْرَرْتُ وَمَا أَعْلَنْتُ، أَنْتَ الْمُقَدِّمُ وَأَنْتَ الْمُؤَخِّرُ، لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ ]البخاري[
عَلَّمَنَا رَسُولُ الله صلى الله عليه وسلمَ أَنْ نَقٌولَ هَذَا (4 مَرَّاتٍ) عِنْدَمَا نَسْتَيقِظُ كُلَّ صَبَاحٍ. اللّهُـمَّ إِنِّـي أُشْـهِدُك، وَأُشْـهِدُ حَمَلَـةَ عَـرْشِـك، وَمَلائِكَتِك، وَجَمـيعَ خَلْـقِك، أَنَّـكَ أَنْـتَ اللهُ لا إلهَ إلاّ أَنْـتَ وَحْـدَكَ لاشَريكَ لَـك، وَأَنَّ ُ مُحَمّـداً عَبْـدُكَ وَرَسـولُـك
الْإِسْلَامُ هُوَ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ عَنْ مَعْرِفَةِ اللهِ وَحُبِّ اللهِ وَالتَّعْبِيرِ عَنِ امْتِنَانِنَا لله. مَنْ هُوَ الله؟ ذَكَّرَنَا اللهُ بِبَعْضِ بَرَكَاِتهِ وَقَاَل:
]نبأ 78: 6-16[ أَلَمْ نَجْعَلِ ٱلْأَرْضَ مِهَـٰدًا/ وَٱلْجِبَالَ أَوْتَادًا/ وَخَلَقْنَـٰكُمْ أَزْوَٰجًا/ وَجَعَلْنَا نَوْمَكُمْ سُبَاتًا/ وَجَعَلْنَا ٱلَّيْلَ لِبَاسًا/ وَجَعَلْنَا ٱلنَّهَارَ مَعَاشًا /وَبَنَيْنَا فَوْقَكُمْ سَبْعًا شِدَادًا/ وَجَعَلْنَا سِرَاجًا وَهَّاجًا/ وَأَنزَلْنَا مِنَ ٱلْمُعْصِرَٰتِ مَآءً ثَجَّاجًا/ لِّنُخْرِجَ بِهِۦ حَبًّا وَنَبَاتًا/ وَجَنَّـٰتٍ أَلْفَافًا
أذكر نفسي وأنت أن ننظر إِلَى أَنْفُسِنَا، وَعَاِئلاَتِنَا، وَمُعَلِّمِينَا، وَأَصْدِقَائِنَا، وَبِيئَتِنَا، وَالأَرْضَ التِي نَعِيشُ عَلَيْهَا وَنَتَجَاهَلُهَا، وَالمِياهُ التِي نَسْتَخْدِمُهَا دُونَ تَفْكِيرٍ. المهم لنا أن نفكر بكل هذه النعم ونحمد الله عليها. هَذَا مَا فَعَلَهُ أَولَئِكَ الذِينَ عَرَفُوا اللهَ فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ وَكَافَأوا عَلَيْهِ.
قَالَ أَنَسٌ بْنُ مَالِكٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ الله صَلّى الله عَلَيهِ وَسَلّمَ مَرَّ ذَاتَ مَرَّةٍ بِبَدَوِيِّ كَانَ يُؤَدِّي الدُّعَاءَ التَّالِي فِي صَلاَتِهِ:
يا مَنْ لا تَرَاهُ الْعيونْ، ولاَ تُخَالِطُهُ الظُّنوْنْ، ولا يَصِفُهُ الْوَاصِفُون، ولا تُغَيِّرُهُ الحَوادِثْ، ولا يَخْشَى الدَّوائِرْ، ويَعْلَمُ مَثَاقِيْلَ الجِبالْ، وَمَكَايِيْلَ البِحارْ، وعددَ قَطَرِ الأمطار، وعددَ وَرَقِ الأشجار، وعددَ ما أظْلَمَ عليهِ اللّيْلُ، وَأشْرَقَ عليه النّهار، ولا تُوَارِيْ منه سماءٌ سماءً، ولا أرضٌ أرضاً، ولا بحرٌ ما في قعرِه، ولا جبَلٌ ما في وَعْرِه، اِجْعَلْ خَيرَ عُمُرِي آخرَه، وخيرَ عمَلي خواتمَه، وخيرَ أيّامِي يومَ ألْقاكَ فيه"
عَيَّنَ رَسُولُ الله شَخْصاً لِإحْضَارِ البَدَوِيِّ إِلَيْهِ بِمُجَرَّدِ أَنْ يُكْمِلَ صَلاَتَهُ. كَانَ رَسُولُ الله صَلى اللهُ عَليهِ وَسلمَ قَدْ أَعْطَى بَعْضَ الذَّهَبِ مِنْ مَنْجَمٍ مُعَيَّنٍ، وَعِنْدَمَا جَاءَ البَدَوِيُّ أَمَامَهُ بَعْدَ أَنْ أَكْمَلَ صَلاَتَهُ، أَعْطَاهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم الذَّهَبَ وَسَأَلَهُ: "إِلَى أَيِّ قَبِيلَةٍ تَنْتَمِي؟"
قَالَ الّرُجُلُ إِنَّهُ مِنْ بَنِي عَامِرِ بن صعسة. ثُمَّ سَأَلَهُ رَسُولَ الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، "هَلْ تَعْرِفُ لِمَاذَا أَعْطَيْتُكَ هَذَا الذَّهَبَ كَهَدِيَّة؟" " قَالَ بِسَبَبِ الرَّوَابِطِ الأُسَرِيَّةِ بَيْنَنَا، يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم - قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: "فِي حِينِ أَنَّ الرَّوَابِطَ الأُسَرِيَةَ لَهَا حَقْ، فَقَدْ أَعْطَيتُكَ الذَّهَبَ بِالْفِعْلِ بِسَبَبِ الطَّرِيقَةِ الجَمِيلَةِ التِي سَبَّحْتَ بِهَا اللهَ جَلَّجَلالُهُ".

قَالَ اللهُ عَنْ سَبَبِ خَلْقِنَا
وَمَا خَلَقْتُ ٱلْجِنَّ وَٱلْإِنسَ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُونِ
الْعِبَادَةُ يَعْنِي أَنَّ تَعَرُّفَ - كَيْفَ نُعَبِّدُ مِنْ لَا نَعْرُفُ ؟ اللهﷻ هُوَ الْحَيُّ وَ الْقَيُّومُ وَ كِلَاَمُهُ هُوَ الْحَيُّ أَيْضًا لأن كلام الله ليس مخلوق
وَلَكِنَّ هِي مِنْ صفات لله
اللهﷻ مُخَاطِبٌ عَلَيْنَا بِكِلَاَمِهِ وهو يسأل علينا أسْئِلَةٌ مهمة
مِنَ الْمُهِمِّ جِدًّا بِالنِّسْبَةِ لَنَا التَّفْكِيرُ فِي هَذِهِ الْأسْئِلَةِ وَالْإِجَابَةِ عَلَيْهَا
لُغَةَ الْعَرَبِيَّةِ مُهِمٌّ جِدًّا فِي هَذِهِ الْأَمْرِ لِتَفْهَمُ الْكَلَاَمَ اللهﷻ
الُ كَلَاَمُ اللهِ هِي وَسِيلَةُ الْأفْضَلِ وأَكْبَرَ مِنْ وَسَائِلِ لِلتَّقَرُّبَ مِنَ اللهِ
نَعْرُفَ اللهَ بِالتَّفَكُّرِ فِي جَلَاَلِهِ وَعَظْمَتِهِ وبِشُكْرِهِ عَلَى نِعَمِهِ - لَا يمكن تُفَكِّرُ بالله وبِالْقُرْآنِ بِدُونِ لُغَةِ الْعَرَبِيَّةِ - مَثَلًا قَدَمَ اللهُ نَفْسَهُ –
الرَّحْمَٰنُ ﴿١﴾ عَلَّمَ الْقُرْآنَ ﴿٢﴾ خَلَقَ الْإِنسَانَ ﴿٣﴾ عَلَّمَهُ الْبَيَانَ ﴿٤﴾ الشَّمْسُ وَالْقَمَرُ بِحُسْبَانٍ ﴿٥﴾ وَالنَّجْمُ وَالشَّجَرُ يَسْجُدَانِ ﴿٦﴾ وَالسَّمَاءَ رَفَعَهَا وَوَضَعَ الْمِيزَانَ ﴿٧﴾ أَلَّا تَطْغَوْا فِي الْمِيزَانِ ﴿٨﴾ وَأَقِيمُوا الْوَزْنَ بِالْقِسْطِ وَلَا تُخْسِرُوا الْمِيزَانَ ﴿٩﴾ وَالْأَرْضَ وَضَعَهَا لِلْأَنَامِ ﴿١٠﴾ فِيهَا فَاكِهَةٌ وَالنَّخْلُ ذَاتُ الْأَكْمَامِ ﴿١١﴾ وَالْحَبُّ ذُو الْعَصْفِ وَالرَّيْحَانُ ﴿١٢﴾ فَبِأَيِّ آلَاءِ رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ ﴿١٣﴾
تخيلوا كيف ستكون حياتنا بدون تلاوة القرآن وبلا قانون قائم على الحق لا الرغبات البشرية. قانون صالح لجميع الأوقات ولا يتغير مع الحكومات - هذا أكابر من نعمات الله - واجب علينا نشكر الله
عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ: خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلَى أَصْحَابِهِ فَقَرَأَ عَلَيْهِمْ سُورَةَ "الرَّحْمَنِ" مِنْ أَوَّلِهَا إِلَى آخِرِهَا، فَسَكَتُوا فَقَالَ: "لَقَدْ قَرَأْتُهَا عَلَى الْجِنِّ لَيْلَةَ الْجِنِّ، فَكَانُوا أَحْسَنَ مَرْدُودًا مِنْكُمْ، كُنْتُ كُلَّمَا أَتَيْتُ عَلَى قَوْلِهِ: ﴿فَبِأَيِّ آلاءِ رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ﴾، قَالُوا: لَا بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ نِعَمِكَ رَبَّنَا-نُكَذِّبُ، فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ
القرآن هو الخطاب الحي من الإله الحي - نقرأ القرآنَ للثواب، ولكن نحتاج إلى قراءتِه للهداية، نحتاج أن نقرأَه لِنعرِفَ الله، نحتاج أن نقرأَه لِنَمْلَأَ قلوبَنا بنورِ الله، الأجرُ لازمٌ ولكنّه ليس هو المقصدُ الوحي أو الأهم من المقاصد نزول القرآن - غَيِّرِ النيّةَ تَتَغَيَّرِ النتيجةُ كما أخبرنا رسول اللهﷺ في الحديث مشهور
عَنْ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَبِي حَفْصٍ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ: إنَّمَا الْأَعْمَالُ بِالنِّيَّاتِ، وَإِنَّمَا لِكُلِّ امْرِئٍ مَا نَوَى، فَمَنْ كَانَتْ هِجْرَتُهُ إلَى اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ فَهِجْرَتُهُ إلَى اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ، وَمَنْ كَانَتْ هِجْرَتُهُ لِدُنْيَا يُصِيبُهَا أَوْ امْرَأَةٍ يَنْكِحُهَا فَهِجْرَتُهُ إلَى مَا هَاجَرَ إلَيْهِ
يجب علينا تغييرُ طريقةِ تدريسِ القرآن، اليوم نحن نُرَكِّزُ فقط على القواعدِ والتجويدِ وأصولِ القراءات حسَبَ حفصِ و ورش وغير ذلك، يجب أن نُرَكِّزُ على أثرِ القرآن على القلب، كما أمرنا الله في سورة الأنفال، فقال: إِنَّمَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ ٱلَّذِينَ إِذَا ذُكِرَ ٱللَّهُ وَجِلَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ وَإِذَا تُلِيَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ ءَايَـٰتُهُۥ زَادَتْهُمْ إِيمَـٰنًا وَعَلَىٰ رَبِّهِمْ يَتَوَكَّلُونَ
أولئك الذين يقرؤون القرآن أولاً يعني أصحاب رسول اللهﷺ يفكرون في تأثير كلام الله على قلوبهم غيَّر الله حياتهم وعالمهم. عندما فتحت أبواب قلوبهم لنور الله، فتح الله لهم أبواب العالم. اليوم نحن نقرأ القرآن، ولكن أبواب قلبنا مغلق. فقلوبنا مملوءة بظلمة وخوف من غير الله ورجاء من غير الله. وهذا شرك لأن الاعتماد على الأسباب هو أنواع الشرك بالله
اللهم احفظنا من الشرك ومن كل ما لا يرضيك
دعانا الله فهل قبلنا الدعوة؟ أمرنا الله أن نتكلم معه. ولكن هل نتكلم مع الله؟ أمرنا الله أن نسأله وحده استغني عنه وحده فماذا نفعل؟ أخبرنا الله سبب مشاكلنا وفتان ومصيبانة
ظَهَرَ ٱلْفَسَادُ فِى ٱلْبَرِّ وَٱلْبَحْرِ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ أَيْدِى ٱلنَّاسِ لِيُذِيقَهُم بَعْضَ ٱلَّذِى عَمِلُوا۟ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُونَ
ولكن هل نعود إلى الله أم نركض إلى غير الله
هل نبحث عن حلول في كتاب الله وسنة رسول الله أم في الفلسفة والسياسة والأنسورية والعصيبية؟ ثم نشكو من أن مشاكلنا لا تنتهي أبدا...

Ibn 'Abbas (RA) reported that Rasoolullahﷺ said: "There are no days in which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allahﷻ than these ten days." The people asked, "Not even jihad for the sake of Allahﷻ ?" He said, "Not even jihad for the sake of Allahﷻ , except in the case of a man who went out to fight giving himself and his wealth up for the cause and came back with nothing." (Bukhari).
Ibn 'Abbas (RA) also reported that Rasoolullahﷺ said: "There is no deed more precious in the sight of Allahﷻ nor greater in reward, than a good deed done during the ten days of sacrifice." He was asked, "Not even jihad for the sake of Allahﷻ ?" He said, "Not even jihad for the sake of Allahﷻ , except in the case of a man who went out to fight giving himself and his wealth up for the cause and came back with nothing." (al-Darimi).
These texts and others indicate that these ten days are better than all the other days of the year, with no exceptions, not even the last ten days of Ramadan. But the last ten nights of Ramadan are better, because they include Laylat al-Qadr which is better than a thousand months. Thus the various reports may be reconciled. (Tafsir Ibn Kathir, 5/412).
Reasons behind the virtues of the first ten days of Dhul Hijjah
Allahﷻ swears an oath by them, and swearing an oath by something is indicative of its importance and great benefit. Allahﷻ said: "By the dawn; by the ten nights" [al-Fajr 89:1-2].
Rasoolullahﷺ commanded us to recite a lot of Tasbih (Subhan-Allah), Tahmid (Al-hamdu Lillah) and Takbir (Allahu Akbar) during this time. ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Umar (RA) reported that Rasoolullahﷺ said, ‘There are no days greater in the sight of Allahﷻ and in which good deeds are more beloved to Him than these ten days, so during this time recite a great deal of Tahlil (La ilaha ill-Allah), Takbir and Tahmid." (Musnad Ahmad).
These ten days include Yawm ‘Arafah the day on which Allahﷻ perfected His Religion. Fasting on this day will expiate for the sins of two years. These days also include Yawm al-Nahar (the Day of Sacrifice), the greatest day of the entire year and the Day of Hajj, which combines acts of worship in a way unlike any other day.Things to avoid in Dhul Hijjah
Question: What must the Muslim avoid during these ten days if he wants to offer a sacrifice?
The sacrifice refers to the Udhiya which is done by those who have not gone for Hajj. Udhiya is Wajib on anyone who is eligible to pay Zakat.
Narrated Al-Bara (R), ‘I heard Rasoolullahﷺ delivering a Khutba saying, "The first thing to be done on this day (first day of Eid ul Adha) is to pray; and after returning from the prayer we slaughter our sacrifices (in the name of Allahﷻ ) and whoever does so, he acted according to our Sunna (traditions)."
Abu Hurairah (R) reported that Rasoolullahﷺ said, "Whoever can afford it but does not offer a sacrifice, let him not come near our prayer place." [Ibn Maajah]
Abu Hurairah (R) reports that Rasoolullahﷺ said that any Muslim who is financially capable of offering a sacrificial animal on the Day of Eid al-Adha, but does not do so, let him not approach the Eid prayer place of Muslims nor pray with the people, because the Muslim should not neglect this ritual while he is able to offer it. Offering the sacrificial animal is a great act of worship and a rite that should be observed on the day of Eid al-Adha. The majority of scholars said that it is a confirmed act of Sunnah.
The Sunnah indicates that the one who wants to offer a sacrifice must stop cutting his hair and nails and removing anything from his skin, from the beginning of the ten days until after he has offered his sacrifice, because Rasoolullahﷺ said: "When you see the new moon of Dhul-Hijjah, if any one of you wants to offer a sacrifice, then he should stop cutting his hair and nails until he has offered his sacrifice." According to another report he said: "He should not remove (literally, touch) anything from his hair or skin." (Muslim)

We just finished Ramadan where Allahﷻ gave us the opportunity to start over again, make our lives Shari’ah compliant and achieve closeness to Allahﷻ. In life, all human beings have only two Dharooriaat. Dharoori is something the absence of which will lead to death. The two Dharooriaat are not food or water or even air. They are Hidaya while we live and Maghfirah after we die. If a person has guidance and is forgiven when he dies, no matter what their situation in the Dunya was, they will go to Jannah. But if a person was misguided and died in that state, on Kufr or Shirk then they will go to Jahannam. The key is ask ourselves where we are. Ramadan came to put this into perspective where, by following the order of Allahﷻ, we held ourselves back from things which are otherwise Halaal during the specified hours. This reinforces the meaning of being a Muslim – someone who submits to Allahﷻ. Ramadan forces us to understand that when it comes to choosing between what is good for the body and what is good for the soul, we must give precedence to the soul. We remind ourselves that on top of the most beautiful face, the strongest body, the cutest child, the most dignified scholar, the most magnificent king, and queen, one day will be dumped thousands of pounds of earth. Talk about helplessness. Death is not the cessation of life. It is the cessation of ability, of power and authority, or the capability to help ourselves. It is the name of total helplessness and vulnerability that is impossible to imagine in this life. At that time, the only thing that will help us is what we send ahead. We need to change the way we think about charity and recognize it for what it is.I want you to think of two words, spend and save. Which is a better word? Two other words, sacrifice and invest. Which is a better word? We have always been told to ‘sacrifice’ for the sake of Allahﷻ. Qurbani deejiye. I submit to you that this is a false narrative. There is no such thing as ‘sacrifice’ when it comes to Allahﷻ. Let me show you why. For something to be considered a ‘sacrifice’, it must satisfy two conditions. It must be something that belongs to you, and you must not get any return for giving it away. I can’t take what is in your wallet and donate it and call it my ‘sacrifice’. Similarly, I can’t sell you something of mine, take the payment and say that I ‘sacrificed’ it for you. I can only say that I sacrificed something if it belongs to me and if I get nothing in return for it. A sacrifice is therefore a net loss.Let us see what happens when we spend in the cause of Allahﷻ. Let us see if the conditions of ‘sacrifice’ are satisfied. Firstly, everything we have, without exception, belongs to Allahﷻ and we hold it in trust for as long as He wishes. Our very life itself, our wealth, health, knowledge, time, ability, strength, influence, authority, everything of any description, belongs to Allahﷻ and not to us. The proof of this is that when Allahﷻ wants to take it back He can and there is nothing we can do to prevent or even delay that by so much as a second. All we can do is to behave with restraint and have patience and remind ourselves that it was not ours in the first place. That is why the poet said about the martyr: Jaan dee, dee hui usi ki thee. Haq tho yeh hai kay haq ada na hua. Allahﷻ warned us to spend before it is too late.يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ أَنفِقُوا۟ مِمَّا رَزَقْنَـٰكُم مِّن قَبْلِ أَن يَأْتِىَ يَوْمٌ لَّا بَيْعٌ فِيهِ وَلَا خُلَّةٌ وَلَا شَفَـٰعَةٌ وَٱلْكَـٰفِرُونَ هُمُ ٱلظَّـٰلِمُونَBaqara 2: 254 O you who believe! Spend from that with which We have provided for you, before a Day comes when there will be no bargaining, nor friendship, nor intercession. And it is the disbelievers who are the ZalimunDespite that when we spend it in the cause of Allahﷻ, the minimum return we get is 1000%. There is nothing smaller than that. So, where is this great ‘sacrifice’? Allahﷻ said as we all know:

I want to begin by quoting one of the greatest of our modern scholars, Ml. Syed Abul Hasan Ali Nadwi in his address to Muslims living in the UK and US. I have paraphrased some of what he said in my own words. The advice is beyond price. I hope I do it justice. He said, ‘Allahﷻ has given you a gold mine. Actually, it is more than that. It is a diamond mine. The mine of restless souls, agitated minds, and hearts, seeking peace and closeness to Allahﷻ. This is something that the great scholars and pious people of old dreamt of and begged Allahﷻ for, but Allahﷻ in His Infinite wisdom gave it to you. Don’t squander it. I ask Allahﷻ to give you the New World in a way that you will discover the new world. Here you are living in a new land under a new sky. Don’t import your sectarian disputes, your petty hatred, and conflicts into this land. Create a new reality for yourselves based on the wisdom of Rasoolullahﷺ with which he formed the Ummah and made strangers, brothers to one another in a way that we can only marvel at today. In this world make your lives, your dealings, your relationships, your organizations, your Masaajid, your Madaaris and schools, your society, everything you say or do, a means of Da’awa.’ I remind myself and you that people listen with their eyes. They don’t care what you say, until they see what you do. In the words of Ralph Waldo Emerson, ‘Your actions speak so loudly that I cannot hear what you are saying.’ As they say, ‘A picture is worth a thousand words.’ I say, ‘An action is worth a million.’ Actions create experience. Experience creates memories. Memories change attitudes. Attitudes result in actions. That is the cycle. Whether we want that to be a virtuous cycle or a vicious one, is our call. He said, ‘Remember Spain. Their Masaajid were a thousand times more beautiful than yours. Their Madaaris produced the likes of Ibn Hazm, Imam Shatibi, Ibn Rushd, Al-Zahrawi, how many more do you want me to name? But remember that when sectarian differences and religious violence started, the Masaajid became desolate and the Madaaris were abandoned, and Islam and Muslims were all but wiped out. Their glory, learning, highly sophisticated society, their libraries, and scholars couldn’t save them. The reason was an exclusionist, insular lifestyle where others didn’t benefit from them and didn’t understand what they had. By all means distance yourself from the beliefs of the non-Muslims, but not from the people. Learn their language so that you can communicate with them fluently. Words don’t just enter the ears. They go directly into the heart. The best example of that is the Qur’an. It came as a spoken word. Which changed the lives of people. Rasoolullahﷺ used to recite Qur’an when people asked him about Allahﷻ. There is a special power in the Word of Allahﷻ. But there is power in all words. Just see what happens to you if someone curses us. You know what he is saying is false. But his words have a measurable physiological effect on us. Communication is critical to building relationships. Ml. Abul Hasan Ali Nadwi said, ‘If you continue to live insular lives, engaged in your Salah and Saum, living behind the closed doors of your Masaajid and homes, not meeting and building relationships with your neighbors, then remember that what happened in Spain can happen here.’ I ask Allahﷻ for His Protection. Even more importantly, we live in a country where they have opened all doors for us to study, work, health care, politics, government, even the White House. The only requirement is the willingness to do what it takes. Imagine a time which will come to all of us without a doubt where we will stand before Allahﷻ and these people ask, ‘Ya Rabb, we gave them everything but they didn’t introduce You to us. If You are going to throw us into Jahannam today because we didn’t worship you, what is Your decision about them?’ We know. If we don’t tell them, we will answer to Allahﷻ.

In my Halaqa last week someone challenged me about the prohibition of interest-based finance and said, “There is no alternative, so what can we do? Without interest-based finance Muslims can never have a big business or industry.” I asked him, “No alternative to what? No alternative to making money, buying a house or whatever? Or no alternative to buying the enmity of Allahﷻ and His Messengerﷺ? Ask, ‘What am I buying? A house, or war with Allahﷻ and Rasoolullahﷺ? Allahﷻ said as we know:
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ ٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَذَرُوا۟ مَا بَقِىَ مِنَ ٱلرِّبَوٰٓا۟ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤْمِنِينَفَإِن لَّمْ تَفْعَلُوا۟ فَأْذَنُوا۟ بِحَرْبٍ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِۦ وَإِن تُبْتُمْ فَلَكُمْ رُءُوسُ أَمْوَٰلِكُمْ لَا تَظْلِمُونَ وَلَا تُظْلَمُونَ
Baqara 2: 278-9 O you who believe! Be afraid of Allah and give up what remains (due to you) from Riba (interest) (from now onward) if you are (really) believers. And if you do not do it, then take a notice of war from Allah and His Messenger but if you repent, you shall have your capital sums. Deal not unjustly (by asking more than your capital sums), and you shall not be dealt with unjustly (by receiving less).
Nobody can say that the matter was not clear. Do we really want to live as Allahﷻ’s enemies? What do you call those you are at war with? Buying war with Allahﷻ is not an option for a Muslim. Nothing is worth that. Is there?
Let me give you some facts. Let me do a primer on this: we have two options:
Option 1: Get into interest-based transactions and write our name in the list of the enemies of Allahﷻ. Eat doubtful or Haraam stuff and get our Ibaadah and dua deleted.
Option 2: Choose to live our life with dignity as good Muslims and remain in the list of Allahﷻ’s Awlia and look forward to His Forgiveness. Whatever Allahﷻ decreed for us, will come to us. All the effort we make to get it, will be rewarded. And when we die, we hope to die with Allahﷻ’s Mercy.
Which is the better of the two? Let us get this settled once and for all and decide that we are not going to sacrifice our Aakhira for this life. About believing that there are no alternatives to interest-based finance, let me assure you that we have many alternatives. What we don’t have, is excuses to disobey Allahﷻ and indulge in Haraam.
What we must do therefore is to change the glasses through which we see the world. First, let us ask ourselves if we believe in resurrection and the meeting with Allahﷻ to give account for our lives. That is where we need to start. We are Muslim and that means that Allahﷻ’s Ridha (Pleasure) should be the basis and criterion for all our decision making. Fundamental to that is our faith in resurrection and accountability. For Muslims, all decision making must be based on that. And not on anything else. Because remember, our money, fame, family, wealth, business, authority, even knowledge will stay here when we die but the way we made all that will go with us.
That is why the title of my Khutba is, ‘Change your glasses.’ Just as, if our sight starts to go foggy and blurred, we go to an ophthalmologist to check if we need new glasses, so also, when our sight is getting blurred with the fog of Dunya, we must turn to Allahﷻ to clear our vision. The Sahaba looked at Dunya through the lens of the obedience of Allahﷻ, cleaned and polished daily in the Suhba (company) of Rasoolullahﷺ. Not only did they not have an alternative to obeying Allahﷻ, but they also did not even seek one. So, Allahﷻ gave them Dunya and Aakhira. We have turned that criterion upside down. We look at the obedience of Allahﷻ through the lens of our desires (Dunya) and our desires have no alternative for us. So, Allahﷻ does not give us Dunya and may Allahﷻ protect us from what will happen in the Aakhira if we die like this. When there are two things, one superior and one clearly inferior, which would you choose? It is that simple.
Sahl bin Sa’ad (R) narrated that Rasoolullahﷺ said: “If this wo...

As I mentioned in my last Khutba, ‘Living in the Revolution’, there are three things that we must change in our approach to life to leverage the benefits of technology and counter its ill effects. Change the way we connect with Allahﷻ and Rasoolullahﷺ, change the way we teach, and change the way we relate with one another. In the 15th century in Medieval Europe the conflict between the Church and scientists came to a head. The Pope was Urban VIII and the scientist was Galileo. Galileo's theory of Copernican heliocentrism (Earth rotating daily and revolving around the Sun) was opposed by the Catholic Church. The matter was investigated by the Roman Inquisition in 1615, which concluded that heliocentrism was foolish, and heretical since it contradicted Holy Scripture.
Galileo later defended his views in Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems (1632), which appeared to attack Pope Urban VIII and thus he was tried by the Inquisition, found ‘vehemently suspect of heresy’, and forced to recant. He spent the rest of his life under house arrest. The reason I am mentioning this is because we Muslims inherited this conflict between the Church (in our case our Ulama) and scientists without any reason because there is, in fact, no conflict between Islam and science.
The purpose of science is to peel back the layers of the appearance of objects to reveal their underlying nature. The purpose of Islam is to peel back the layers of the appearance of objects to reveal their underlying purpose. Let’s see what happens in practice. I call it the “Why” versus “How” conundrum.
When you ask “Why” something happens, science tells you “How” it happens. For example, if you ask why do rogue waves happen? You are told, “Waves coming at different speeds from different directions suddenly meet and mingle into one big rogue wave. Strong waves collide with fast-flowing ocean currents coming from the opposite direction, slowing down the waves so that they pile up and form rogue waves.” The answer is perfectly correct but not for the question you asked. Is this the answer to the question: “Why?” Or are they telling us “How” rogue waves are formed? Is it important to know how it happens? Of course, it is. But does that answer your question about why? ‘How’ is the method or mechanics. ‘Why’ is the cause or reason. Both are important but not in the same way. Just as ‘How’ is different from ‘Why’, so are the answers. Also, if you want to know how to change something, you must know why it happened. Just understanding the mechanics is not enough. You need to know the reason.
The real answer to “Why” can only be given by the One who made it happen. Let me give you an example. If you invite me for dinner and make Hyderabadi Biryani, I will be totally delighted. Then imagine that overcome with happiness, I ask you, “Ya Habeebi, why did you do this?” Listen to my question: ‘Why did you do this?’ You answer, ‘Take a pot and wash it well. Then take good quality Basmati rice and wash it well. Then cut up the mutton because Biryani with any other meat is Bida’a. Wash the mutton well in lime juice and then with water.’ I say to you, ‘Hello! Excuse me. I asked you why you took all the trouble to make this delicious Biryani. You are telling me the recipe of Biryani. While that is good to know, it doesn't answer my question. Why did you do it?’ You respond, ‘That is what I am trying to tell you. Just listen.’ And this ridiculous conversation continues. Tell me, is my question, ‘WHY did you make Biryani for me?’, answered, if you learn HOW to make Biryani?
The source of confusion is modern education that is taught without considering the nature of the Creator and His Will in His creation. Since the Creator is not recognized, His Will is not recognized. This leads to gaps in knowledge which are attempted to be closed by answering the question; “Why” with “How”. Like the example I gave you about rogue waves. Another one,
As I mentioned in my last Khutba, ‘Living in the Revolution’, there are three things that we must change in our approach to life to leverage the benefits of technology and counter its ill effects. Change the way we connect with Allahﷻ and Rasoolullahﷺ, change the way we teach, and change the way we relate with one another. Each of these is important enough for us to reflect on, so here goes.
Let us reflect on how we relate with Allahﷻ and His Messengerﷺ today. For most of us, it is ceremonial, ritualistic, restricted to special occasions, like when we go to the masjid, when we pray and when we are in a religious gathering. We read the words of Allahﷻ ceremonially at the beginning of some of our meetings, which is not a Sunnah. We have Qur’an recitation competitions; we try to memorize the Qur’an and learn to recite it in a melodious way. We learn the rules of Tajweed and criticize others whose Tajweed we think is incorrect. We write the Qur’an in different styles of calligraphy and decorate it beautifully and make it a work of art. When our children are 4 years, 4 months, and 4 days old, we do a ceremony called ‘Bismillah’, in Hyderabad. In Bangalore they call it ‘Ameen'. When we enter a new house, we carry the Qur’an on our heads. When we get married the Qur’an is carried over the head of the bride like an umbrella, maybe to shield her from her husband. I can go on, but this will suffice to illustrate our relationship with the Kalaam of Allahﷻ which is the only means we have to get close to Allahﷻ. Heﷻ gave us the tools to vet this relationship and said:
إِنَّمَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ ٱلَّذِينَ إِذَا ذُكِرَ ٱللَّهُ وَجِلَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ وَإِذَا تُلِيَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ ءَايَـٰتُهُۥ زَادَتْهُمْ إِيمَـٰنًا وَعَلَىٰ رَبِّهِمْ يَتَوَكَّلُونَ
Anfaal 8: 2 The believers are only those who, when Allah is mentioned, their hearts tremble (with the Awe and Majesty of Allahﷻ) and when His Ayaat (Quran) are recited unto them, they (the Ayaat) increase their Faith; and they put their trust in their Rabb (Alone);
I remind myself and you to ask what the purpose of the revelation of the Qur’an is. Is it to get stuck in how to pronounce it, to sing it (no matter that we call it recitation), to write it in beautiful fonts, to translate it into many languages, to create all sorts of ceremonial uses for it most or none of which Rasoolullahﷺ ever did, and of course to argue about it? Or is it one simple purpose; to understand it and live by it. To practice it in our lives. Let us ask what Allahﷻ will question us about; Tajweed (pronunciation), Kitaabat (writing, calligraphy), Rusoomaat (traditions) or A’amaal bil Qur’an (actions by the Qur’an). I remind you that the Kalaam of Allahﷻ is the closest that we can get to Allahﷻ in this life. Let us use it to get close to Him. The way to do that is to forget everyone else and focus on ourselves. To ask what the Qur’an is doing for us and to us when we recite it or listen to it. Forget the reciter. Focus on yourself and ask, “What happened to me when I heard/read that Ayah?” What do you say about a farmer who spends his time examining the fields and crops of his neighbors, criticizing them instead of tilling his field, treating the soil, planting his seeds, watering them, protecting them from pests, disease, and predators? Who will starve in the winter? Forget everyone. Focus on yourself. Not even our children. But ourselves. Only a lighted lamp can light others. If the lamp wants to light others, what advice will you give it? Light up yourself. Where is your flame? Without your flame you will never light anyone else’s lamp. So, let us do a little self-test. Focus on your heart and see what happens to it as I recite some Qur’an for you. It is the Kalaam of Allahﷻ. See what it does to you.
I am deliberately not translating these Ayaat firstly because I know that you know them and those who don’t, can read the translation. I recited first Ayatul Kursi 2:255,
We live in a world where we seem to be surrounded by bad news. That leads to us feeling stressed, depressed, threatened, and hopeless about the future. Many people seem to feel that we are living at the end of times, and in a world and society that is terrible to live in. If you feel this way, believe me, you are not alone. However, the problem with this feeling is that firstly it is not true. Secondly, if you feel this way, then it debilitates you and takes away your initiative to do anything. It drains your energy, sabotages your ambition, and increases your anxiety to potentially dangerous levels. Allah told us to be grateful and warned those who are not, to beware of His punishment. Gratitude is energizing, joyful, encouraging, and very powerful. Ingratitude is the opposite on all these counts. The question is, what should we be grateful for? Let me help you with facts.
When I was growing up from 1950’s to 1980’s, we didn’t have a refrigerator, gas, or electric stove. Food was cooked on firewood or coal in a smoky kitchen or outdoors. We routinely had no electricity for many hours a day and so no lights or fans. We had no central heating or air conditioning, one car. Nobody had ‘cars’, even one was a rarity. No TV. What was on your lap was not a computer. Go wash out your brain. Phones were not smart, people were. We wrote letters by hand, licked the stamp, stuck it on the envelope, posted it and counted the days until the postman brought us a reply. We had malaria, cholera and typhoid, polio, and tuberculosis. Later we got chikungunya, and dengue. We always had the flu and when the doctors didn’t know what we had, they called it, ‘viral fever’. Today, malaria and poliomyelitis have been eradicated. The others remain. I can add to this list, and there are many here who will bear witness with me and thank Allah that we can talk about those days and smile.
Today with air-conditioning, antibiotics, painkillers, glasses and LASIX surgery for sight correction, cataract and bypass surgery, medical diagnostic equipment and advanced pathology, sneakers, thermal underwear, and jackets, eating out, non-seasonal fruits, treadmills, central heating, indoor flushing toilets, hot and cold water on tap, we, ordinary people, are better off and more comfortable than the wealthiest kings and queens of the past. Add to this that today our children routinely go to school, are literate and many go on to higher education. In Medieval Europe 99% of people couldn’t write their names and that included most kings and queens. We live in countries where the only thing limiting your material growth, learning and career advancement is yourself. Anyone willing to make the effort can get to the top. See who are the people heading major corporations whose turnover is more than the GDP of many countries. Not a single one is a hereditary monarch or noble. There was a time, not too long ago where if you were not born into the right family, your fate was sealed. Today, your present situation doesn’t decide if you will succeed or fail. It only defines where you need to start. If you have ambition, determination, seek feedback, are willing to learn, sleep less and work hard, nothing but death can stop you.
Despite all this, we enjoyed life enormously and have wonderful memories, not because we had stuff, but because we had attitude. An attitude of gratitude. That was inculcated into us from the earliest and that is what is most necessary in the way we raise children today. Teach them to value people and use stuff. Not the other way around. Thankfulness is the open secret of happiness. So, while we look at all that is ‘wrong’ with society, let’s reflect on what is right. There is far more that’s right than what’s wrong.
Let’s continue. Today our major preoccupation is Covid, right? Let us put that also in perspective. The Justinian Plague which started in 541 CE wiped out 40% of the Arab population.

I spoke to you about the Industrial Revolution and how it was far more than the invention of the assembly line. It profoundly changed our values, culture, and behavior. It changed how we saw ourselves, how we measured our effort, what we gave significance to, what we ignored, how we taught and learnt – including how we taught and learnt Islam – how we assessed and valued one another and the basis on which we measured success and failure. The Industrial Revolution changed the very basis of self-esteem.
Today as I speak, we have entered another far more pervasive, persuasive, and even more transformational revolution, that of Artificial Intelligence in all its forms. We must remember that ever more subtly and for that reason powerfully, technology is not only about its mechanics but even more about the psychological, even ideological changes it creates. Atheism seems to move hand in hand with technological development. The reason is that it gives mankind the illusion of being all powerful and invincible. Of being immortal even in terms of the things we create, if not our own bodies. Even our bodies, we are moving to believing that with stem cell technology and gene manipulation we can grow what we like in our bodies to cure disease and prolong life, maybe even indefinitely. Granted, much of this is today still in the realm of science fiction, like aeroplanes once were. But like aeroplanes, very soon it will become mundane and normal before we know it.
Let me read the menu for you. How about memorizing the Qur’an and learning Arabic in 5 minutes, and that too if you have a bad internet connection? How about traveling to Russia – you are asking why you would do that – or China – same question – or name your country, which is rich in sights to see but where you don’t know the language? But here’s the twist – how would it be if you knew the language as soon as you land? To quote Prof. Michio Kaku, the author of Hyperspace, which you should read, “As soon as you blink, your contact lenses will connect you to the internet and if you are not feeling well, Robodoc will tell you what’s wrong, prescribe medicines which will be delivered to you. If you are in an accident in a foreign country, you will speak to Robolaw on your watch which knows all the laws of all countries and will advise you what to do.” He said much more but I will leave it to your imagination and assure you that what is ahead is more than what you can imagine. That is not difficult to understand because imagination is a function of experience. So, get prepared for a world which will turn our society on its head. Final point, I am not talking about the remote future. I am talking about things that already exist and others which will build on them. We already have Robodoc, Watson, GPS, Siri, self-driving cars and so on. Much more will happen and very fast.
In this scenario, it is ever more essential to get connected to Allah and to remember that we will meet Him. Reality doesn’t depend on belief for its existence. Wisdom is to prepare for that reality, the meeting with Allah.
كُلُّ نَفْسٍ ذَآئِقَةُ ٱلْمَوْتِ وَإِنَّمَا تُوَفَّوْنَ أُجُورَكُمْ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ فَمَن زُحْزِحَ عَنِ ٱلنَّارِ وَأُدْخِلَ ٱلْجَنَّةَ فَقَدْ فَازَ وَمَا ٱلْحَيَوٰةُ ٱلدُّنْيَآ إِلَّا مَتَـٰعُ ٱلْغُرُورِ
A’al Imraan 3: 185 Everyone shall taste death. And only on the Day of Resurrection shall you be paid your wages in full. And whoever is removed away from the Fire and admitted to Jannah, (only) he is successful. The life of this world is only the enjoyment of deception (a deceiving thing).
In 1998 I watched a 3D movie in San Francisco. It was about sharks. As I sat in the theatre wearing my 3D glasses, enveloped in Surround Sound, I could see the shark coming at me. Believe me, if you could have measured my pulse, heartbeat, and electrical activity in my brain, you would’ve had some interesting results. I can assure you that during that movie,

I was about to title this Khutba – Maintaining the miracle – when I realized that a more truthful title is – Reviving the miracle. Which miracle? The miracle of creating a brotherhood of faith – the Ummah of Muhammadﷺ. I call it the greatest of Rasoolullahﷺ’s achievements because of the incredible challenge that he faced in creating it. Not only did he have to deal with ethnic and racial diversity but even more ingrained and powerfully, hierarchies based on tribal, economic, cultural, and linguistic differences. He had to deal with a society in which honor could only be satisfied by shedding blood and vendetta was a time-honored tradition spanning generations. It was this group that he welded together where Bilal ibn Rabah (R), an African Muhajir and an ex-slave, was paired, as a brother, with Abu Rawahah Abdullah ibn Abdul Rahman (R). A black man and an Arab. Who could have imagined this situation in pre-Islamic tribal Arabia? Salman Al Farsi (R), another ex-slave and Persian, was paired with Abu Darda Al Ansari (R). And of course, many others. These people were not simply roommates. They became brothers in a deeper sense than we feel today for our own blood brothers. And faith became holier and dearer to them than blood. The stories of the Muhajireen and Ansar are the stuff of legends and had they not been so authentically documented, they would appear to be fables, given the state of Muslim society which is riddled with racism, casteism, divided into false Biradarees and sects which are quick to pronounce Takfeer and declare those who don’t belong to their sect as apostates. Fear Allahﷻ my brothers.
In this blessed month of Rabi’ul Awwal, the month of both the birth and passing away of Rasoolullahﷺ, when are very keen to celebrate his birth, let us ask which of our actions would have caused him the most pain and is the first thing that we need to change. I say to you that the thing about us that would have pained him the most is our divisions, our internal conflicts, our groupism, our sects, our hatred for each other. For us, it is not enough that our brother is a Muslim. He must be from the same Madhhab, sect, group, caste, color and tribe. If this is not racism, then tell me what is? Allahﷻ called us ‘Muslims’. But what did we do? Allama Iqbal said:
Youn tho Sayyid bhi ho, Mirza bhi ho, Afghan bhi ho,
(You are Sayyid, Mirza, and Afghan)
Tum sabhi kuch ho, batao tho, Musalman bhi ho?
(You are everything but tell me are you also Muslim)
Do some research about where these ‘castes’ among Muslims came from and you may well be surprised. Sadly, this groupism and tribalism is not in the Subcontinent alone. The lines dividing one Arab Muslim from another and one African Muslim from another are equally bad or worse. I shudder to think about what we will say when we meet Rasoolullahﷺ and he asks us about what we did with the Ummah that he had forged. Believe it or not, that is a very real possibility. The solution is to do our best to revive his miracle, the miracle of the Muslim Ummah. Rasoolullahﷺ set us the best example and all that we need to do is to follow it. Do what he did, and we will once again be one people, united by our love for Allahﷻ and His Nabiﷺ.
Allahﷻ mentioned us, the Ummat of Muhammadﷺ in two places in two ways, the difference being in one word alone. He said:
إِنَّ هَـٰذِهِۦٓ أُمَّتُكُمْ أُمَّةً وَٰحِدَةً وَأَنَا۠ رَبُّكُمْ فَٱعْبُدُونِ
Anbiya 21: 92 Truly! This, your Ummah [brotherhood of faith] is one brotherhood, and I am your Rabb, therefore worship Me (Alone).
وَإِنَّ هَـٰذِهِۦٓ أُمَّتُكُمْ أُمَّةً وَٰحِدَةً وَأَنَا۠ رَبُّكُمْ فَٱتَّقُونِ
Mu’minoon 23: 52 And verily! your Ummah [brotherhood of faith] is one brotherhood, and I am your Rabb, so have my Taqwa (live in a way that pleases Me).
These two Ayaat sum up the essence of being an Ummah. The cause of our cohesion is that we worship Allahﷻ. Our way of life is to please Allahﷻ.

Anas ibn Malik reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, arrived in Medina during two days in which they were celebrating. The Prophet said, “What are these two days?” They said, “We would celebrate these two days in the time of ignorance.” The Prophet said, “Verily, Allah has replaced these two days with two better days: Eid al-Adha and Eid al-Fitr.”

What is the first thought that comes into your mind when you think of Rasoolullahﷺ? For me it is someone to run to if I need anything. Someone who will intercede for me when I meet Allahﷻ. Someone who I love more than I can say and who I yearn to meet. May Allahﷻ grant that to us all, that we meet him at his Hauz and receive the water of Al-Kauthar from his blessed hand. May Allahﷻ grant that before that day, we see him in our dream and give him our salaam and he responds with his dua. My brothers and sisters, Allahﷻ gave us many blessings. Everything we have is a blessing of Allahﷻ, from our lives to our health, our families, wealth, above all Islam. But there is only one out of all His blessings that Allahﷻ emphasized and especially mentioned as His Neyma – His Blessing and that is Rasoolullahﷺ. Let us reflect on that.
لَقَدْ مَنَّ ٱللَّهُ عَلَى ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِذْ بَعَثَ فِيهِمْ رَسُولًا مِّنْ أَنفُسِهِمْ يَتْلُوا۟ عَلَيْهِمْ ءَايَـٰتِهِۦ وَيُزَكِّيهِمْ وَيُعَلِّمُهُمُ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ وَٱلْحِكْمَةَ وَإِن كَانُوا۟ مِن قَبْلُ لَفِى ضَلَـٰلٍ مُّبِينٍ
A’al Imraan 3: 164 Indeed Allah conferred a great blessing on the Believers when He sent among them a Messenger (Muhammadﷺ) from among themselves, reciting unto them His Ayaat (Qur’an), and purifying them (Tazkiyya wa Tarbiyya), and instructing them (in) the Book (Qur’an) and Al-Hikmah [wisdom of his Sunnah] while before that they had been in manifest error.
If we think about the life of the people in Makkah, especially the Quraysh, they were highly successful businesspeople. They had wealth, they self-governed, they were not subservient to either of the two empires in their part of the world, they had every luxury and pleasure that money could buy. So why did they need Islam? I am asking this because this is a relevant question for us to ask ourselves today. Why do I need Islam?
I say to you, that angle influences the view. What you see depends on the angle you look at it from. Our job is to please Allahﷻ but we have been taught that it is to accumulate wealth. Our role models, almost exclusively, are those who accumulate wealth. But if you ask, ‘But did he please Allahﷻ?’, what's the answer. So, what will happen to him if he reaches the Aakhira without having pleased Allahﷻ? Or worse still, having angered Allahﷻ and having accepted a declaration of war from Himﷻ. This was the case of the Quraysh and the choice they faced. Some chose to reject Allahﷻ and His Messengerﷺ and others chose to reject ways that run contrary to the Will of Allahﷻ and the Sunnah of His Messengerﷺ. Allahﷻ declared about the Sahaba which tells us about their Aakhira and that of their followers:
وَٱلسَّـٰبِقُونَ ٱلْأَوَّلُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُهَـٰجِرِينَ وَٱلْأَنصَارِ وَٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّبَعُوهُم بِإِحْسَـٰنٍ رَّضِىَ ٱللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ وَرَضُوا۟ عَنْهُ وَأَعَدَّ لَهُمْ جَنَّـٰتٍ تَجْرِى تَحْتَهَا ٱلْأَنْهَـٰرُ خَـٰلِدِينَ فِيهَآ أَبَدًا ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ
Tawba 9: 100 And the first to embrace Islam of the Muhajirun (migrants) and the Ansar (helpers) and those who followed them exactly (in Faith). Allah is well-pleased with them as they are well-pleased with Him. He has prepared for them Gardens under which rivers flow, to dwell therein forever. That is supreme success.
But let’s look at their Dunya? Did that suffer? Did they lose their wealth, influence, and power? Or did they, in one generation, change from being at best, a village of prosperous businessmen, to becoming the dominant global power having defeated both the Roman and Persian Empires. History is witness. What changed in their lives? The angle changed and so the view changed. That is why in this month of Rabi-ul Awwal, I present to you Muhammadur Rasoolullahﷺ, not only as the model we must follow if we want success in the Aakhira, but as the model we must follow if we want success in Dunya and Aakhira. Why is success in Dunya important? Because success in Dunya drives success in the Aakhira.

Allah told us why He created us and said:
وَمَا خَلَقْتُ ٱلْجِنَّ وَٱلْإِنسَ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُونِ
Zariyaat 51: 56 And I (Allah) created not the jinns and humans except they should worship Me (Alone).
In order that we can live our lives in a state of worshipping Allah, He sent Islam and told us to follow it completely in all aspects of our lives. He said:
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ ٱدْخُلُوا۟ فِى ٱلسِّلْمِ كَآفَّةً وَلَا تَتَّبِعُوا۟ خُطُوَٰتِ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنِ إِنَّهُۥ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ مُّبِينٌ
Baqara 2: 208 O you who believe! Enter perfectly into Islam (in all aspects of life) and follow not the footsteps of Shaytaan. Verily! He is to you a plain enemy.
My brothers and sisters, we seem to live in a time where we have made the Deen subservient to ourselves. We seem to believe that simply doing personal acts of worship and that also when it is convenient to do so, is sufficient for us. Why then did Allah order the Believers to enter Islam completely and perfectly? After all they are Believers because they entered Islam. Then what does it mean to enter Islam completely and perfectly?
Let us remember that Islam is a practice. It is a complete way of life that touches every aspect of our lives. It is something that we can take the help of and rely on for every decision that we need to make, be it domestic, public, administrative, business or anything else. Islam shows us the way. I remind myself and you that the purpose of life is to worship Allah as it is His right to be worshipped in the way taught to us by His Messenger Muhammad. That is the essence of the Kalima Tayyiba – La ilaha illAllahu Muhammadur Rasoolullahi. When we bear witness that only Allah is worthy of worship, we worship Him alone. And when we bear witness that Muhammad is His Messenger, the last and final of all Messengers, we prove that by worshipping Allah in the way that Muhammad taught us to worship Him. That is why Salah is so critically important, because it is the physical manifestation of the Kalima Tayyiba; the demonstration of Tawheed. This principle of worshipping Allah in the way taught by His Messenger is extended in Islam to every aspect of life. To obey Allah the way Rasoolullah did. That is the essence of entering Islam completely.
To understand what went wrong, first a bit of history. The Industrial Revolution (1760-1840) was more than moving from handmade to machine-made. It changed three critical things: time of day, family dynamics, and method and content of education. These changes are almost never mentioned but they are far more important than the invention of the assembly line and literally changed our society in ways that one can safely say are irreversible. What are these changes?
Prior to 1760 society was mostly agrarian. If you want to see what that was like, I strongly advice a visit to the Amish in Pennsylvania or elsewhere. They are people who have decided not to change. Whether that is for the good or not is for you to decide and I am not going to describe it in detail because for a proper understanding it is essential to visit an Amish settlement. They welcome visitors and tourism is a source of income for them, so please go and visit them. I can assure you that it will be interesting.
The Industrial Revolution changed the time of day from sunrise to sunset, to shift start and knock off in the factory. Your day could begin at 2.00 AM and end at 2.00 PM. And your night was from 2.00 PM onwards or whatever the shift time was. At least one parent never saw their kids awake. This is also how the latchkey kid was born. A kid with the doorlatch key on a tape round his neck, who lets himself into an empty house when he gets off the school bus. He/she takes food from the fridge and gives himself over to the TV or now, the mobile phone. It is estimated that in America schoolboys watch an average of four pornographic movies per week. Let me leave you to figure out what that means in so m...

As the academic year starts again and as our children are about to go off to university, I thought it would be good to share some thoughts to help them to be focused and grounded. I hope this will be good advice for all of us wherever we may be. To the students I say, “You are about to go off into the wide world, alone, excited, apprehensive, hopeful, that this will be the beginning of a long road to success. I wish you the same. Remember that integrity is not the only path, but it is the only path on which you will never be lost. Integrity is to keep ten things in mind.
1. Factor Allah into the equation because He is in it anyway. This is the best way to stay grounded and to know the best way forward. For in the end, we will not be asked, “What happened?” We will be asked, “What did you do?” Remembering Allah at all times and deciding everything based on His Pleasure has two advantages. It keeps us safe from sin and it gives us tremendous confidence, knowing that He is watching and is with us. Believe me, just as doing good matters, so also sin matters, even more. So, stay safe from sin and disobedience of Allah and you can be sure that He will help you. Remember that Islam is the name of a practice. Not a philosophy. The one who practices Islam is a Muslim and the one who doesn’t, isn’t. The one who practices Islam benefits. The one who doesn’t, doesn’t. The practice of Islam begins and ends with Salah (prayer). Prayer is a resource to reboot our drives five times a day, to charge our batteries, to seek Allah’s help, to relax and rejuvenate, and to remind ourselves, that one day we will see Allah and be called to account. Salah reminds us that everything counts.
A’al Imraan 3: 185 Everyone shall taste death. And only on the Day of Resurrection shall you be paid your wages in full. And whoever is removed away from the Fire and admitted to Jannah, he indeed is successful. The life of this world is only the enjoyment of deception (a deceiving thing).
Allah gave us the criterion of success. Real success. Lasting success. Always keep this in mind and you will never be depressed or sad and you will always make the right decisions. The key to all this is Salah. Salah is the outward manifestation and evidence of Imaan (Faith). When we declare that there is nobody worthy of worship except Allah and that Muhammad is His last and final Messenger who we follow, by praying, we demonstrate our belief by worshipping Allah in the way shown to us by Rasoolullah. Salah is our connection with Allah. A direct connection, taught to us by Rasoolullah. Allah told us that Salah is a resource to be used at will.
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ ٱسْتَعِينُوا۟ بِٱلصَّبْرِ وَٱلصَّلَوٰةِ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ مَعَ ٱلصَّـٰبِرِينَ
Baqara 2: 153 O you who believe! Seek help in patience and As-Salat (prayer). Truly! Allah is with As-Sabirin (the patient).
And He said:
ٱتْلُ مَآ أُوحِىَ إِلَيْكَ مِنَ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ وَأَقِمِ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ إِنَّ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ تَنْهَىٰ عَنِ ٱلْفَحْشَآءِ وَٱلْمُنكَرِ وَلَذِكْرُ ٱللَّهِ أَكْبَرُ وَٱللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ مَا تَصْنَعُونَ
Ankabut 29: 45 Recite (O Muhammad) what has been revealed to you of the Book (Qur’an) and establish As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat). Verily, As-Salat (prayer) prevents from Al-Fahsha' (great sins of every kind) and Al-Munkar (disbelief, polytheism, and every kind of evil deed) and the remembering (praising, etc.) of (you by) Allah (in front of the angels) is greater indeed [than your remembering (praising) Allah in prayers]. And Allah knows what you do.
Salah is protection. Salah is help. Salah is tranquility and peace of mind. Salah is the highest honor that Allah granted to the human being. Salah differentiates the Muslim from the non-Muslim. Salah is evidence that we are Muslim. The one who prays is Muslim. The one who doesn’t, is not.
Rasoolullah emphasized the importance of Salah and said:
Nawfal bin Muawiya (R) quoted Rasoolullah as saying,

They asked Rasoolullahﷺ, ‘Who is Allahﷻ?’ And Allahﷻ answered:
قُلْ هُوَ ٱللَّهُ أَحَدٌ
ٱللَّهُ ٱلصَّمَدُ
لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ
وَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُۥ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌۢ
Ikhlaas 112: 1-4 Say (O Muhammadﷺ): He is Allah, (the) One. Allah-us-Samad (Free from all needs, whose creatures need Him). He begets not, nor was He begotten; And there is none equal or comparable unto Him.
Let us reflect on this Sura. It is the essence of Islam. It is the sum total of what we believe because though it is about Allahﷻ, He didn’t speak directly to us as He did in many other places in the Qur’an. Instead, He ordered His Messengerﷺ to introduce Him to the questioners and to us all. Suratul Ikhlaas not only speaks about the Glory and Majesty of Allahﷻ but indicates the exalted status of Rasoolullahﷺ. Then Allahﷻ told us why He created us:
وَمَا خَلَقْتُ ٱلْجِنَّ وَٱلْإِنسَ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُونِ
Zariyat 51: 56 And I (Allah) did not create the Jinn and humans except they should worship Me (Alone).
To worship, it is essential to know, to recognize, to have a relationship with, and to love more than anyone or anything else. So, who is Allahﷻ?
ٱللَّهُ لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ٱلْحَىُّ ٱلْقَيُّومُ لَا تَأْخُذُهُۥ سِنَةٌ وَلَا نَوْمٌ لَّهُۥ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ مَن ذَا ٱلَّذِى يَشْفَعُ عِندَهُۥٓ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِۦ يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ وَلَا يُحِيطُونَ بِشَىْءٍ مِّنْ عِلْمِهِۦٓ إِلَّا بِمَا شَآءَ وَسِعَ كُرْسِيُّهُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَلَا يَـُٔودُهُۥ حِفْظُهُمَا وَهُوَ ٱلْعَلِىُّ ٱلْعَظِيمُ
Baqara 2: 255 Allah! La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), the Ever Living, the One Who sustains and protects all that exists. Neither slumber, nor sleep overtake Him. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on earth. Who is he that can intercede with Him except with His Permission? He knows what happens to them (His creatures) in this world, and what will happen to them in the Hereafter. And they will never compass anything of His Knowledge except that which He wills. His Kursi extends over the heavens and the earth, and He feels no fatigue in guarding and preserving them. And He is the Most High, the Most Great.
Allahﷻ introduced Himself in the Ayah which is considered the Ayah of highest status in the Qur’an, Ayatul Kursi. Tawheed is our greatest treasure. To be jealously guarded against any adulteration, which comes in benign forms, the most seductive of which is ‘love’. In the name of love, we raise the status of those we love until that enters the realm of that which belongs only to Allahﷻ. That is what the Christians did with Eesa (AS). That is what many sects of Muslims do with different people they love. Eesa (AS) and all those people of high status we love, the highest of them being Muhammadﷺ, are all worthy of great respect, veneration, and emulation. But they are all human. They are all creatures. They are all Ghayrullah. They are not related to Allahﷻ in any way other than being His Makhlooq, His creatures. He created them and they do not share anything with Him, whatsoever, in terms of His Dhaat (identity), Sifaat (attributes), Afa’al (actions, decisions), or Asaar (signs, creation). To believe that anything, human or otherwise, irrespective of who or what it is, shares anything at all with Allahﷻ, is major Shirk and renders us out of Islam. Allahﷻ declared clearly:
فَاطِرُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ جَعَلَ لَكُم مِّنْ أَنفُسِكُمْ أَزْوَٰجًا وَمِنَ ٱلْأَنْعَـٰمِ أَزْوَٰجًا يَذْرَؤُكُمْ فِيهِ لَيْسَ كَمِثْلِهِۦ شَىْءٌ وَهُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْبَصِيرُ
Shura 42: 11 The Creator of the heavens and the earth. He has made for you mates from yourselves, and for the cattle (also) mates. By this means He creates you (in the wombs). There is nothing like Him, and He is the All-Hearer, the All-Seer.
Ibn Abbas (R) narrated that when Rasoolullahﷺ used to awake for Tahajjud he would say: Allahumma lakal-hamd....

The purpose of Islam is to solve the problems of this world in a way that gives us success in this world and the next. I want to emphasize this because often we fall into the either/or trap when it comes to the practice of Islam. Not surprising because we have all been raised in a climate of ‘Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's’ which the Bible quotes as the response that Jesus gave to the people who were trying to trick him into forbidding the Jews from paying taxes to the Roman government. They would then have used this to implicate and condemn him to Pontius Pilate who was the Roman tax collector for Judea. I mention this not because of taxes, which we Muslims must pay but to point out that this later became the spirit in which the separation of the ‘church and state’ happened in Europe and globally. This is completely antithetical to Islam. Unfortunately, historically our own Ulama, have also taken this either/or stance, expressed as Deen or Dunya. The reality is that Deen is not the opposite of Dunya but the way of living in the Dunya. Deen gives us the criteria for making decisions in our lives, which are in Dunya. If we didn’t have the freedom to choose, there would be no need for guidance about the consequences of choices. Living Islam is about making the right choices, and the framework to do that is Deen. Allah didn’t send us into the Dunya to leave it but to live in it according to Deen and to help others to find solutions to societal problems. Leaving the Dunya is a non-Muslim concept and practice of extreme asceticism that was the way of Christian monks and Hindu sanyasis. There is no monastic life (Ruhbaniya) in Islam.
Muslims came to demonstrate the Islamic way that makes people winners. As long as we did that, we had moral authority and Allah gave us power. When we stopped being demonstrators and became imitators, we lost our moral authority and Allah took away our power. Today we have voluntarily restricted Islam to some areas of worship, some selective application of the Shari’ah and have taken to the ways of others blindly. We are not even intelligent enough to see that those people themselves are intensely unhappy in their ways because those ways have destroyed their societies. We condemn their ways, but we imitate them and then we are surprised that nobody respects us.
The Muslim Ummah today is like a ship caught in a storm. Battered from all sides by hurricane strength winds trying to throw the ship on the rocks while the ship itself, its sails tattered, is leaking badly. In such a situation, if we want to remain afloat, we must ensure that we do three things:
Be aware of our strengths and weaknesses.Understand the nature of the threat and how to overcome it.Demonstrate the way to overcome the challenge and succeed.
Ultimately it is execution that means everything. Knowing the way is not enough to reach the destination. We must walk on that path to the end. Remember that people listen with their eyes. They don’t care what we say until they see what we do. Today the world demands that we demonstrate Islam, or we stop talking about it. It is literally put up or shut up. It’s our call.
I want to begin therefore with a SWOT Analysis of the Muslim Ummah.
Strengths
Faith in Allah and the Aakhira which gives us enormous resilience and the ability to recover from personal disaster.Growing awareness and confidence especially among the youth to learn, practice and become exemplars of the Islamic model.Growing awareness of the gulf between Ulama and the general Muslim public which has difficulty applying Islamic knowledge in their lives, but unfortunately the Ulama are unable to guide them adequately.
Weaknesses
Muslims are ignorant about Islam, superstitious, and sectarian. Education methodology in Islamic schools, has no focus on application in real life. Ulama are slow (or no) to respond to emerging challenges.

Fatwa or Taqwa - Earn & Eat Halaal by Sh. Mirza Yawar Baig: https://youtu.be/umRepsFXleg
Islam is about knowing Allah. Not just knowing about Allah. But knowing Allah at the deepest, most intimate level of our beings. Last week we spoke about the young Ibrahim asking Allah to show him how He brings the dead back alive. The purpose of the stories is to help us to realize the truth that one day it will be our turn to die and be resurrected. I ask Allah for His Mercy and Forgiveness. I remind myself and you that we are not ordinary people. We are not just mammals that live to satisfy their desires, going from sensation to sensation. Manipulated by those who are smarter than we are so that we become pawns in their board games. We Muslims were created for a far higher purpose. The highest of all purposes; to introduce Allah to His creatures. How can we introduce Allah unless we know Allah? That is the meaning of Islam. I remind myself and you to reorient ourselves and reboot our lives so that we fulfill the purpose of our creation.
The next incident in the life of Ibrahim that I want to highlight is soon after Ismail is born in the land of Canaan which includes modern day Palestine. Ibrahim has now brought his wife, our mother Hajar and their infant son, Ismail to a barren valley almost 800 miles from where he was born. That was the valley of Bakkah which would later be called Makkah and where Allah intended the father and son, Ibrahim and Ismail to build the Ka’aba. But at the time of the story, it is a dry, rocky, valley between two high hills, later called Safa and Marwa. The valley is barren without any vegetation, cultivation, people, or trees. It didn’t even have water. Ibrahim leaves his wife and infant son, with a small leather water bag and some dates with them and turns around and leaves.
Hagar was the African servant of Ibrahim and Sarah, who lived between 1930 BC and 1840 BC and who Ibrahim married and from whom Allah gave him Ismail. Here was a woman who on the one hand was obedient enough to her husband to accept the fact that he was leaving her and their infant son alone in an uninhabited valley on the order of Allah. A son that Allah had given them after decades of dua. Yet Allah was now ordering him to leave his wife and child in the wilderness. Then she had enough Tawakkul on Allah to know that if He ordered this, then He would care for them. She allowed her husband to leave them and go on his way knowing that he was doing the work of Allah. When Ibrahim reached a place where his wife couldn’t see him, he turned and made this totally unusual dua. Before I tell you what he asked for, let me ask you what you would ask for if you were in his place? I would have asked for safety, food, shelter, maybe some help. But Ibrahim asked:
رَّبَّنَا إِنِّي أَسْكَنتُ مِن ذُرِّيَّتِي بِوَادٍ غَيْرِ ذِي زَرْعٍ عِندَ بَيْتِكَ الْمُحَرَّمِ رَبَّنَا لِيُقِيمُواْ الصَّلاَةَ فَاجْعَلْ أَفْئِدَةً مِّنَ النَّاسِ تَهْوِي إِلَيْهِمْ وَارْزُقْهُم مِّنَ الثَّمَرَاتِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَشْكُرُونَ
Ibrahim 14:37 O our Rabb! I have made some of my offspring to dwell in an uncultivable valley by Your Sacred House (Ka'aba); in order, O our Rabb, that they may establish As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat), so fill some hearts among men with love towards them, and (O Allah) provide them with fruits so that they may give thanks.
First, see the Adab, the respect, that Ibrahim shows towards Allah. He doesn’t say, “I brought them here because You ordered me. So, now look after them.” He places the responsibility on himself – I settled them here. This was the nature of Ibrahim where when he introduces Allah he does it in terms of his relationship with Him and all that he is grateful for. He said:
ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَنِى فَهُوَ يَهْدِينِ
وَٱلَّذِى هُوَ يُطْعِمُنِى وَيَسْقِينِ
وَإِذَا مَرِضْتُ فَهُوَ يَشْفِينِ
وَٱلَّذِى يُمِيتُنِى ثُمَّ يُحْيِينِ
وَٱلَّذِىٓ أَطْمَعُ أَن يَغْفِرَ لِى خَطِيٓـَٔتِى يَوْمَ ٱلدِّينِ

Once again, the Muslim world is reeling from the grief and anger of attacks on the beloved of Allahﷻ and of the Muslims, wherever they may be, Muhammadﷺ the Last and Final Messengerﷺ of Allahﷻ, after whom there is none other. This is not the first time it happened, and I can probably safely say that it will not be the last. Why is he being attacked? Did he harm those who are attacking him? Did he transgress their rights? Did he insult or attack them first? What did he do? His ‘crime’ is that he invited all mankind to success in this world and the next. He introduced Allahﷻ our Creator, Sustainer, Protector, to whom is our return on the Day of Judgment and invited all mankind to worship none other than Him, because only Allahﷻ is worthy of worship. He invited all mankind to Jannatul Firdous, to live there in eternal bliss and happiness. Is that a crime? Is it a crime to want the best for people?
Which brings us to the first and most important matter concerning all attacks on Rasoolullahﷺ, i.e., to understand that they are all political, with only one objective, which is to provoke Muslims to behave in violent ways and use that to malign Islam and Muslims. May Allahﷻ have mercy on us, we never fail to disappoint. It is like fishing. The fisherman baits his hook, to feed himself, not to feed the fish. He is not doing it as kindness for hungry miskeen fish. He is doing it because he is hungry and hopes that a fish will rise to his bait and swallow the hook, so that he can kill it and have a nice trout dinner. I can’t say this about every fish, but I can say it about us Muslims, that we never disappoint our fishermen. We rise to the bait and swallow it hook, line, and sinker. This stupidity must stop.
I thought therefore to speak to you today about this very painful but important matter, as a follow-up on my last Khutba about the right of Rasoolullahﷺ that he should be helped in his mission.
So, how must we respond to someone attempting to defame Rasoolullahﷺ? Please note the words that I am using. I am not saying, ‘defaming Rasoolullahﷺ’. I am saying, ‘Attempting to defame.’ The reason I am saying this is to remind you and myself, to reflect on how anyone can defame the one about whom Allahﷻ, Al Malik-ul-Quddus, Al-Ahadus Samadulladhi lam yalid wa lam yulad wa lam yakullahu kufwan Ahad. Al-Malikul Haq, Rabbul Arshil Kareem, La ilaha illah hu, Al-Khaliqu wal-Maliku, wal-Hakimu, war-Raziqu, Al-Maliki Yawmiddeen, Al-Hayyul Qayyum, Wahuwa ala kulli shayyin qadeer said:
إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ وَمَلَـٰٓئِكَتَهُۥ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى ٱلنَّبِىِّ يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ صَلُّوا۟ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلِّمُوا۟ تَسْلِيمًا
Ahzab 33: 56 Allah sends His Salat (Blessings, Mercy, etc.) on the Prophet (Muhammad) and also His angels (ask Allah to bless and forgive him). O you who believe! Send your Salat on (ask Allah to bless) him (Muhammad), and (you should) greet (salute) him with the greeting (AsSalamu 'Alaikum).
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَىٰ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ❁ كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَىٰ إِبْرَاهِيْمَ وَعَلَىٰ آلِ إِبْرَاهِيْمَ ❁ إنَّكَ حَمِيْدٌ مَجِيْدٌ ❁ اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَىٰ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ❁ كَمَا بَارَكْتَ عَلَىٰ إِبْرَاهِيْمَ وَعَلَىٰ آلِ إِبْرَاهِيْمَ ❁ إنَّكَ حَمِيْدٌ مَجِيْدٌ
When Allahﷻ, the Creator, Sustainer, Protector, of all that exists, to whom is our return on the Day of Judgment, said this about Rasoolullahﷺ and ordered all the Believers, to send Salat and Salaam on him, then what does it matter what anyone else says or doesn’t say? The reality of the matter is that every Muslim with even an iota of Imaan sends Salaam on Rasoolullahﷺ and says, SalAllahu alaihi wa sallam, when they hear or say his name. This is ingrained in us. That is why we have the Farsi proverb: Ba Khuda diwana bashad, Ba Muhammadﷺ Hoshyar.
We are those who believed in Rasoolullahﷺ, know his speech to be completely truthful, know that he received the Revelation from Allahﷻ and recited it to us,

Muhabbat: To love him above all things and everyone else
Ittiba (emulation) is the result of love. We emulate those we love. Our appearance, our manners, our dealings, our lives, and our culture, reflects the ways, values, and culture of those we love. We do it because we believe it adds value to us. We emulate without being conscious of it, but those who we interact with, recognize the original who we are emulating. When that original is Muhammadﷺ, then Allah loves the one who emulates the one He loves, i.e., Muhammadﷺ. The reality of life is that we all consciously or unconsciously emulate someone or the other, no matter what we do in life. As Muslims, why not emulate Rasoolullahﷺ? Especially when the reward is the love of Allah.
To love Rasoolullahﷺ is not only a part of Imaan (Islamic faith) but a conditional requirement of it. Without the love of Rasoolullahﷺ we can’t call ourselves Muslims because Allah defined Muslims as those who love Rasoolullahﷺ even more than they love themselves. Allah said:
النَّبِيُّ أَوْلَى بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنْ أَنفُسِهِمْ وَأَزْوَاجُهُ أُمَّهَاتُهُمْ
Al-Ahzaab 33:6 The Prophet is closer to the Believers than their own selves, and his wives are their mothers.
Allah made this even more clear and warned those who have any doubts in the matter of loving Rasoolullahﷺ by promising to punish them and stating that there is no guidance for the one who doesn’t love Muhammadﷺ more than he loves anyone and anything else. Allah associated His Own Majesty and Grace with the love of Rasoolullahﷺ and demanded that not only must one love Allah and His Messengerﷺ more than he loves anyone and anything else but must prove and demonstrate that in his life. This is done, not by singing Nasheeds and Qawwalis but by emulating (Ittiba) Rasoolullahﷺ in every aspect of life and following his Sunnah.
قُلْ إِن كَانَ آبَاؤُكُمْ وَأَبْنَآؤُكُمْ وَإِخْوَانُكُمْ وَأَزْوَاجُكُمْ وَعَشِيرَتُكُمْ وَأَمْوَالٌ اقْتَرَفْتُمُوهَا وَتِجَارَةٌ تَخْشَوْنَ كَسَادَهَا وَمَسَاكِنُ تَرْضَوْنَهَا أَحَبَّ إِلَيْكُم مِّنَ اللّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ وَجِهَادٍ فِي سَبِيلِهِ فَتَرَبَّصُواْ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ اللّهُ بِأَمْرِهِ وَاللّهُ لاَ يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الْفَاسِقِينَ
At-Taubah 9:24 Say: If it be that your fathers, your sons, your brothers, your mates, or your kindred; the wealth that you have gained; the commerce in which you fear a decline: or the dwellings in which you delight - are dearer to you than Allah, and His Messenger, and striving in His cause; then wait until Allah brings about His decision (punishment): and Allah guides not the rebellious.
A very important matter to note here is that all the things that Allah listed in this Ayah are Halaal and in some cases, loving and honoring them has been prescribed and encouraged by Allah. Yet if we love those things more than Allah and His Messengerﷺ and striving in the cause of Allah, then Allah expressed his anger, rejected such people, and promised to punish them. This is because all blessings come from Allah and through Rasoolullahﷺ who taught us the truth and introduced us to Allah. Striving in the path of Allah is the payback for the blessings we enjoy. But if we allow those blessings to distract us from the worship of Allah or from following the Sunnah of Rasoolullahﷺ, then those blessings will be the cause of attracting the punishment of Allah. May Allah protect us.
Narrated Anas bin Malik (R) that Rasoolullahﷺ said, "None of you will have faith till he loves me more than he loves his father, his children, and all mankind." [Bukhari & Muslim]
Anas bin Malik (R) narrated that Rasoolullahﷺ said, “None of you is a true believer unless I am dearer to him than his parents, children and all others.” (Ahmad, Bukhari, Muslim, An-Nasai, Ibn Majah).
Love for Allah is expressed through obeying Him in the way His Messengerﷺ did. Love for Rasoolullahﷺ is to emulate him. The way to understand Ahadith like this is when it comes to any aspect of li...
Since we are re-starting our series of Khutab on the rights of Rasoolullahﷺ after a break of six weeks during and after Ramadan, let me quickly recap what those rights are. The reason rights are important is because it is obligatory to fulfill them, and we will be questioned about them. When those are the rights of Rasoolullahﷺ himself, then the matter is even more serious.
The rights of Rasoolullah on his Ummah are 7:
Adab wa Ihtiraam: Our attitude of utmost respect and honorIta’at: To obey Rasoolullahﷺ without questionIttiba: To follow and emulate him in every wayMuhabbat: To love him above all things and everyone elseAhl-ul-Bayt: To honor and respect him and his familyNusrat: To help him in every way: To help his Deen and MessageTo accept his judgment in all matters without any resistance
By the Mercy of Allah we spoke about the first two rights. Let us look at the third right of Rasoolullahﷺ, that we should emulate him in excellence.
Ittiba: To follow and emulate (imitate) him in every way
When implementing quality standards in the corporate world, one of the most common and powerful ways is to choose a ‘Best Practice’ and follow it. The reason for this is obvious because the Best Practice is proof of concept and evidence that the method works. The one who is following a Best Practice is free from the risk of failure because he is following a method which has proved to be successful. All the follower must do is to ensure that he follows that method perfectly and his own success is assured. Who is more successful than the Messenger of Allah who Allah presented to us as the best example to be followed? Allah said:
لَقَدْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ لِّمَن كَانَ يَرْجُو اللَّهَ وَالْيَوْمَ الْآخِرَ وَذَكَرَ اللَّهَ كَثِيرًا
Al-Ahzaab 33:21 There is surely a good example for you in the Messenger of Allah, for one who hopes (to meet) Allah and the Hereafter and remembers Allah abundantly.”
Allah told us that to follow Rasoolullahﷺ is the best way and that his entire life, in all its aspects, is the best example for anyone who looks forward to meeting Allah on the Day of Judgment and remembers Allah a great deal. That is the definition of a Muslim. In short, the answer to the question, “Who is a Muslim?” is, “The one whose life resembles the life of Muhammadﷺ.” The bonus of course is that the life of Rasoolullahﷺ is also the best way to live in this world because of which you would become the most beloved and influential person in your community. After all, show me anyone who is kind, compassionate, just, courageous, helpful, charitable, has the best manners, is generous and hospitable, cheerful, and friendly and I will show you someone who is the beloved of all those he encounters. That is the secret of influence. Allah showed us how to become influential.
Add to that, Allah told us about the real reward for emulating Rasoolullahﷺ and doing his Ittiba, which He didn’t define in transient worldly terms but said:
قُلْ إِن كُنتُمْ تُحِبُّونَ اللّهَ فَاتَّبِعُونِي يُحْبِبْكُمُ اللّهُ وَيَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ ذُنُوبَكُمْ وَاللّهُ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ
Aal-Imraan 3:31 Say (O Muhammad to mankind): "If you (really) love Allah then emulate me (make my Ittiba), Allah will love you and forgive your sins. And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
Let’s reflect on this, that Allah didn’t say that the reward of doing the Ittiba of Rasoolullahﷺ is something that can be defined and measured, even if it is Jannah. Allah told us that the reward of Ittiba, which is the true sign of love, is that Allah will love the one does the Ittiba of the one He loves. Just stop for a while and reflect on this and ask yourself, “What does it mean that Allah will love me? What is the benefit of Allah loving me?” At the very least it means freedom from the Fire, because how can someone who Allah loves, go to Jahannam? The key is to emulate Rasoolullahﷺ and become the beloved of Allah.

Vermont photographer Wilson Alwyn Bentley (1865–1931), known as “Snowflake” Bentley, spent a lifetime photographing snowflakes, eventually collecting thousands of images published at the end of his life in a book called Snow Crystals.
Wilson A. Bentley
"Under the microscope, I found that snowflakes were miracles of beauty; and it seemed a shame that this beauty should not be seen and appreciated by others. Every crystal was a masterpiece of design and no one design was ever repeated., When a snowflake melted, that design was forever lost. Just that much beauty was gone, without leaving any record behind."

Talk by Shaikh Mirza Yawar Baig at the ISWM Itikaaf night at the Islamic Society of Western Massachusetts.
Talk by Shaikh Mirza Yawar Baig at the ISWM Da'awa Night at the Islamic Society of Western Massachusetts.
Allah (mighty and sublime be He), had said: I have divided prayer between Myself and My servant into two halves, and My servant shall have what he has asked for. When the servant says: Al-hamdu lillahi rabbi l-alamin (3), Allah (mighty and sublime be He) says: My servant has praised Me. And when he says: Ar-rahmani r-rahim (4), Allah (mighty and sublime be He) says: My servant has extolled Me, and when he says: Maliki yawmi d-din (5), Allah says: My servant has glorified Me - and on one occasion He said: My servant has submitted to My power. And when he says: Iyyaka na budu wa iyyaka nasta in (6), He says: This is between Me and My servant, and My servant shall have what he has asked for. And when he says: Ihdina s-sirata l- mustaqim, siratal ladhina an amta alayhim ghayril-maghdubi alayhim wa la d-dallin (7), He says: This is for My servant, and My servant shall have what he has asked for. (1) Surat al-Fatihah, the first surah (chapter) of the Qur'an. (2) i.e. standing behind the imam (leader) listening to him reciting al-Fatihah. (3) "Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds." (4) "The Merciful, the Compassionate". (5) "Master of the Day of Judgement". (6) "It is You we worship and it is You we ask for help". (7) "Guide us to the straight path, the path of those upon whom You have bestowed favors, not of those against whom You are angry, nor of those who are astray". It was related by Muslim (also by Malik, at-Tirmidhi, Abu-Dawud, an-Nasa'i and Ibn Majah).
