Brothers And Sisters In Islam; Indeed, It Brings A Smile To The Face To
See The Faces That Are Smiling, Mashallah, And When I Said That I See More Faces
Smiling, Alhamdulillah. That'S The Impact Of The Sunnah Of
Muhammad Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam, You Smile And Others Smile. It Is A Sunnah.
It Is A Rewarding Or rewardable Deed, Something That We Take For Granted. A Lot
Of The Times There Are Mumin And Sometimes People Who Are Quite Conscious
About Their Link With Allah But They Forget To Smile And
Yet That Is One Of The Sunan, One Of The Traditions Or Ways
Of Muhammad Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam That Really Has Such An Impact On
Humanity At Large That It Breaks A Lot Of Ice, It Automatically Creates A Link
And A Bond Of Humanity To Start With And Thereafter It Propagates The Deen
Without A Statement, Subhanallah. I Have Seen It And I'M Sure You Have As Well
And If You Haven'T Yet Seen It Then You Will See It, Subhanallah. You'Ve Got Teeth;
Don'T Worry Whether They are Straight Or Not, Mine Are Not That Straight But
Nobody Notices, Subhanallah. It'S Just You. When You Look Into The Mirror And You
Say Ok,That Tooth Is This Way.. So You... Don'T Worry. Smile, Give It Broad We All
Have Something Wrong With Our Teeth, Allahu Akbar. Sunnah Of Muhammad
Sallallahu Sallam What A Great Impact And I Decided To Start With This Because
We Are Speaking Of The Impact Of The Character Of Muhammad Sallallahu Alayhi
Wasallam. It'S Important To Know His Teachings Have Such A Great Impact And
Today Insha'Allah We Will Spend The Next 45 Minutes By
The Will Of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'Ala Going Through Some
Of The Impact That Really People Felt Around Muhammad Sallallahu Alayhi Wa
Sallam And Not Only That But Those Who Follow His Example,
The Impact They Create By Following That Example Is Such That, Wallahi, It Leaves
Behind A Warmth In The Heart Of Anyone Who Interacts With Them. May Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'Ala Bless Us. So Muhammad Sallallahu Alayhi
Wa Sallam, We Heard Yesterday; I Had Made Mention Of How He
Spoke To His Wife Khadija (Ra) When He
Received Revelation From Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'Ala. What Type Of A Person Was He
Before Revelation? Before Revelation He Was An Honest Upright Man We Heard That
He Was Sadiq Ul Ameen, So Much, So That He Left Such A
Big Impact Upon A Female Who Was Older Than Him Whom He
Worked For Or Did Some Business Dealings On Behalf Of And This Was Khadija (Ra). If You
Know History And I'M Sure We As Muslimin, Would Definitely Know It; When He Was
Sent To Ash-Sham, The Syrian Region, The Palestinians Syrian Region With Trade
For Khadija (Ra), He Came Back With Every Single What We Would Term Penny
Accounted For. Every Little Droplet Was Accounted For And The Trade Was Done In
Such A Way That The Prophet Was Far Greater And When Anyone Else Did The
Same, Subhanallah. He Was Honest. His Dealings Were Such That He Was
Considerate Of The Buyer When He Was Selling And Considerate Or He When He
Bought Himself He Knew, He Had To Give That Man A Slight Bit Of A Profit And At
The Same Time Bargain In A Way That He Would Earn And Gain For This Particular
Person He Was Working For: Honesty, And As A Result This Woman Who Was Much Older,
Who Had Been Previously Married Decided To Take A Chance.
What Was The Chance? I'M Sorry To Call It Take A Chance But In Today'S World It
Would Be Allahu Akbar, Wow! Young Man
Really Good-Looking, Subhanallah, What Honesty, What Uprightness, What A Person;
His Speech, No Vulgar Words This Was Before Prophethood; No
Vulgar Words, He Does Not Drink, He Does Not Sit Around People Who Have Bad
Habits. Look At The Character Of Mohammed (Saw). You Read About Him Before
Prophethood. He Never Took Part In Anything That Would Have Placed The
Scratch On His Slate, Subhanallah. He Did Not Mix Or Associate With Bad People, Not
At All. So This Was Noticed And It Was Noticed
By Everyone And This Lady Says You Know What? I Think It Would Be Good For Me To
Put Forth A Little Proposal Of Marriage Through Someone And That'S Exactly What
Happened. You Know Today If You Had A 25 Year Old, Subhanallah And Upright Person
Never Married Before And You Know, So Honest Business A
Person, Whose Really Good Character And Conduct And You Have
A Woman Previously Married, Children Involved And So On.... Who'S Much Much
Fifteen Years Older Perhaps, I Think It Wouldn'T Be Really
In The Mind Of Such A Female Or A Sister To Even Try Their
Luck... I think I said That Moments Ago.... To Even Try Their
Luck But This Was Something Divine.... The Impact Was Such
That She Said Let Me Put This Forth. Do You Know What Happened? It Came Through
Allahu Akbar, He Accepted It. Why? That'S The Impact Of His Character.
He Married Based On Goodness, Piety, Uprightness. He Too Noticed The
Uprightness In Khadijah Bint Khuwaylid (Ra).
Amazing And People Go Around Saying O Muhammad (Saw) Married Because
Of This And That... Nauzubillah, Mentioning
Some Bad Points, No. Look At What He Did In The
Prime Of His Life. When He Was A Man, His First Marriage, Take A Look At How It
Worked And What Happened? Do You Call This Man A Womanizer? Allahu Akbar, Astagfirullah
May Allah Protect Us All From Such Blasphemy And He Chose Someone Who
Really Brought About A Lot Of Comfort In His Life. Look At The Choice...
Brothers And Sisters, How Do You Choose Your Spouse? People Are Looking At Me, I
Think A Lot Of Them I'M Already Married, Mashallah. You'Ve Chosen Inshallah But Be
A Means Of Comfort For One Another. Getting Back To The Impact Made Look At
It, It Was Such That Thereafter Subhanallah, This Muhammad
Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam Had Children From The
Same Female, Subhanallah And He Treated Them, what We Would
Say Like Gold, Amazing, You Know, Going Now Into prophethood....
I'M Just Fast Forwarding It A Little Bit, His Grandchildren, It Is Reported That On
One Occasion He Kissed One Of His Grandsons And Nearby Was A Certain
Man ...... A Certain Man And He Says You Kissed This Little Child!
How Can You Kiss Your Child? You Kissed This Grandchild Because At That Time
They Did Not Use To Show That Affection To The Children, The Girls Will Look Down
Upon Because They Were Considered A Sex Or A Gender That Was Not Meant To Be
Something That Was A Disgrace To The People, To These Day You Have Some People
Across The Globe When They Are Told Of A Female, They'Re Upset. You Know,
You'Re Having A Female, A Girl, Wallahi, Thank Allah, Smile, Mashaallah, I Have Four
Daughters And Two Sons. May Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'Ala Bless Those With Out
Children With Children And May He Bless Those Who Have Sons With The Daughters
And Those With Daughters With Sons. It Is
Allah And He Chooses He Decides , Allahu Akbar.
But At The Same Time He Looks And He
Says He Asks Or In Fact This Man Says I Have 10 Sons Or 10 Little Children I'Ve
Never Kissed Any One Of Them. You Know, What He Says
Whoever Does Not Show Mercy Will Not Be Shown Mercy, Powerful Words. Whoever Does
Not Show Mercy Shall Not Be Shown Mercy. That Means A Kiss On The Forehead Or The
Cheeks Or On This Little Child Or Grandchild Of Yours, is A Sign Of Mercy.
Have You Understood It? It'S A Sign Of Mercy Upon Your
Child. How Many Of Us Are Prepared To Kiss Our Children, Our
Grandchildren, To Hug Them, To Embrace Them. They Need It, Subhanallah. Today
Psychologists And Phd Holders We Talk About Them Again Today Mashaallah, They
Would Tell You How Important It Is To Embrace The Child, To Hug Them, To Give
Them The Feeling Of Belonging Whereas The Impact Of The Character Of Muhammad
Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam Already Has Placed That Within Us. If We Are
Following The Sunnah, We Would Be From Amongst Those Who Have Achieved This A
Long Long Time Ago. Our Children Feel The Sense Of Belonging.
Today You Have Dad And Dad Don'T Want To Hug. He Don'T Want To Kiss, Let Alone His
Children Even His Wife. May Allah Protect Us. Allahu Akbar, See
Everyone Smiling Here, Why? People Think Now I Am Old, Come On, I Hugged You When I
Was 20. We'Re Now Fifty. That'S When It All Starts, Allahu Akbar, May Allah Subhanahu
Wa'Ta'Ala Bless Us. May He Make It Easy For Us.
This Is The Beauty Of Islam. Look At Mohammed (Saw)
When He Was Granted the prophethood, It Did
Not Make Him Arrogant At All. Imagine, If You
Were Told Or If A Person Just Imagine Because It'S Not Going To Happen, If A
Person Was Told That You Know What? You Are Chosen By Allah To Be A Messenger Of
Allah, The Most Loved Of Allah, The Highest Of Creatures Or Creation Of
Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala Etc Etc, What Do You Think Would Be The Status Of One
Of Us, If We Were Told That? I Don'T Even Want To Begin To Go Into That Direction...
You Know If A Person Is Appointed as A King Or A Leader Or A President Or An Mp Or A
Ceo Of A Big You Know... Company.. It Automatically, Automatically Sometimes
With Certain People Makes Them Develop A Chip On Their Shoulders, You Know, They
Start Walking It'S Me... You Know I'M The Boss, Look At Them, Whereas Mohammad (Saw)
Knew This And He Knew Much More And He Knew How They Treated Him In
Makkah And Yet He Did Not Respond Or Retaliate In The Same
Way, He Didn'T. He Responded With Kindness, With Goodness. He
Responded With Mercy And This Is Why Allah Says In The Quran
We Have Not Sent You Except As A Means Of Mercy For The World For Mankind And Jinn
Kind For Creation At Large. Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala Speaks Of This Mercy
And Mohammed (Saw) Speaks Of How He Has Been Sent In Order To Confirm And
Complete The Pure And Good Character And Conduct To Teach It, To Practice It And
He Was One Whom When He Taught Something He Practiced Upon It So That It Could Be
It Could Leave Or Create Such An Impact That Anyone Who Wanted A Perfect Life
All They Needed To Do Was To Just Follow This Particular Life. That'S Why Allah
Says In The Quran
Allahu Akbar! Indeed, For You In The Life Of Muhammad Sallallaahu Salam Is A
Definite Example Something To Follow To Emulate For Who? For Those Who Are
Looking Forward To The Meeting With Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'Ala And Looking
Forward To The Last Day. May Allah Make Us From Those.
