- What is Ibrahim (as) going to give to Muhammad (SAW)
in those moments as he's meeting the answer,
the greatest answer to his greatest dua'.
The person of the Prophet (SAW).
Is it merely going to be a meeting of joy?
Or is Ibrahim (as) going to give an advice
that would be of benefit.
SubhanAllah it is so beautiful that
Ibrahim (as) who cared so much,
about the succession of faith
in this world,
even as he is in the seventh heaven,
he's still thinking about
the continuation of Allah's worship and glory in this world.
(calm music)
(wind blows)
Even Masoud (ra) he narrates
that the Prophet (saw) said,
when I met Ibrahim (as)
on the night of al-Israa' wal Mi'raj,
he said to me, "O, Muhammad! send my salaam to your Ummah."
SubhanAllah, he sent salaam
to each and every single one of us.
He said AsSalaam Alaikum to each and every single one of us.
And we send our salaam back to our father Ibrahim (as).
But not only did he send salaam to us,
he also said,
and give them
this advice,
tell them that Jannah, paradise,
has a vast plain of pure soil
and sweet water.
And it is set as a plain leveled land.
So he's telling us about the soil of al-Jannah,
the soil of paradise.
And he said the plants and the trees on that land,
on that plain,
grow with the utterance of SubhanAllah,
walhamdulillah, wa La ilaha illallah, Allahu Akbar.
Tell them that the seeds that grow plants and trees
in that sweet soil of Jannah
that is nourished by the sweet water of Jannah,
are the sweet words of SubhanAllah, walhamdulillah,
wa La ilaha illallah, Wallahu Akbar.
SubhanAllah, how perfect is Allah?
La ilaha illallah, there is no God, but Him.
Alhamdulillah, all praises are due to Him.
Allahu Akbar, Allah is the greatest.
SubhanAllah you keep on repeating.
SubhanAllah, walhamdulillah,
wa La ilaha illallah, Wallahu Akbar.
This is a message from the seventh heaven,
from Ibrahim (as),
to his descendants because we are amongst
those who followed him.
We pray that Allah (swt) counts us amongst them,
by virtue of being from the followers of Muhammad (saw),
and this Nasihah, this advices is for us,
SubhanAllah, Alhamdulillah, La ilaha illallah, Allahu Akbar.
And so you see something beautiful
happening on the night of al-Israa' wal Mi'raj.
When the Prophet (saw) met Musa (as),
Moses peace be upon him, gave the Prophet (saw) advice,
that would reduce the prayer for us
by the Prophet (saw) asking Allah,
to reduce the requirement of prayer us.
So that the burden could be lessened.
Ibrahim (as) gave the Prophet (saw) advice
to convey to us,
that would allow us to
elevate ourselves,
so that our rank in paradise would be higher.
So what blessed nasihah, what blessed advice we see,
from these prophets to our Prophet (saw)
And Ibrahim (as) also used to pray for us.
How did he use to pray for us?
When he used to ask Allah (swt),
Rabbighfirli waliwalidayya
he would pray for himself,
he'd pray for his parents,
and of course would pray for his father until Allah,
forbade him from doing so.
walil mumineen
And he prayed for the believing men and the mu'minaat,
the believing women,
on the day that we would all be resurrected.
He prayed for our forgiveness, and this is a lesson for us.
How often do we pray for the ummah that we can't see?
The ummah that came before us.
What is left of this ummah to come after us.
How often do we pray for the believing men
and the believing women?
You have to look at your share of dua'
that's for other than yourself.
And the Prophet (saw) he said to us in a hadith,
a narration by Ubadat ibn al-Samit (ra)
that whoever seeks forgiveness
for the believing men and the believing women.
Allah (swt) writes down for him a good deed,
for every single
one of those believing men and believing women.
How many believers are in the world today?
How many believers have passed?
How many believers are yet to come?
And you say,
rabbana ighfir lana wali-ikhwaninaallatheena
sabaqoona bil-eeman
"O Allah, forgive us and our brethren
who have come before us in faith."
Those who proceeded us in faith
and do not let their--
walatajAAal fee quloobina ghillan lillatheena amanoo
Don't let there ever be a hardship
or some hard feelings in our heart towards our brothers,
towards our brothers and sisters in faith,
rabbana innaka raoofun raheem [59:10]
And verily our Lord, You are most kind and most merciful.
We say an our dua's, in our khutbahs,
Allahummaghfirli wal mu'mineena wal mu'minat
wal muslimeena wal muslimaat
al ahya'aa minhum wal amwat
Innaka samee'un qareebun mujibul dawat
we ask Allah (swt) for forgiveness,
for the believing men and the believing women,
the Muslim men, the Muslim women,
those that are alive and those that are dead.
And this is a beautiful way of connecting ourselves,
both to those that have come before us,
as well as those that would come after us.
And of course those that are alive around us today,
and those that we cannot even meet, that we will never see,
but they live at this time
and they are our believing brothers and sisters
and we pray for their forgiveness regularly.
Lastly, I want you to think about this,
Ibrahim (as) when he also made dua' for salah,
rabbana liyuqeemoo assalah
that O Allah, that they would establish the prayer.
And how powerful is it that our salah
can not be established
except with the mention of Ibrahim (as).
We can not have an established prayer without saying,
Allaahumma salli 'ala Muhammadin wa 'ala aali Muhammad
Kamaa sallayta 'ala Ibrahim wa 'ala aali Ibrahim.
