Alhamdulillah.
My dear viewers, my dear students,
welcome to the second session in the
fourth level of the prophetic noble
hadith.
Last session which was the first hadith
in the fourth level. We studied together
the sound hadith which is collected by
Imam Muslim and narrated by Tamimn
the Palestinian companion. May Allah be
pleased with him and his
Abu
and the hadith was that the messenger of
Allah
said
religion is sincerity. They said he the
to whom oh messenger of Allah he said to
Allah to his book to his messengers
and to the
leaders of the Muslim ummah and their
common folk. We have learned the literal
and the linguistic meaning of the term
and we shared with you references from
the Quran particularly verse number 91
and 92 of surah tabba chapter number n
today inshallah we're going to once
again learn lessons from this hadith
pertaining to showing sincerity to each
and everyone who's listening.
in the hadith to Allah, to his books, to
his messenger, to the leaders of the
Muslim ummah and to the common folk and
how to demonstrate that beginning with
sincerity towards Allah the almighty and
that includes venerating him, fearing
him, putting one's hope in him and
loving him more than anyone else. The
messenger of Allah sallall.aii alaihi
wasallam has said in order to be a true
believer you have to love Allah and his
messenger sallallahu alaihi wasallam
more than anything else and more than
anyone else including your parents your
spouse your children and even your own
self and your positions sincerity of
intention to him alone if you love Allah
more than you love yourself if you
venerate the almighty and you know that
he's the one who created us and he's the
one who watches us and he's the one who
knows what is hidden in our chest. Then
you should be sincere to the almighty
alone
declaring him to be far above all
shortcomings and defects. And this
concept is known as the Quran is full of
commandment of
is to declare the almighty Allah to be
far above all shortcomings and defects
because he's a creator. He's not being
created and he does not resemble in of
his career. And that would lead us to
understand that we should affirm his
beautiful names and attributes which we
have learned whether from the Quran or
the sound sunnah to the almighty Allah
in an appropriate way that suits him.
also affirming that he is one and unique
in his deeds and the actions of his
creation should be devoted to him alone.
So
the Quran says
there is nothing like him and he is the
all hearer the all seer. So we must
understand that nothing resembles the
almighty Allah and we must believe in
that sincerely also by adhering to his
laws commandment and by abstaining from
his prohibitions.
What is the purpose of learning about
Allah and believing that the almighty
Allah is the creator and he is above the
creation and affirming his uh sublime
names and attributes to him alone is by
the end to love him and fear him
meanwhile to keep balance between love
and fear to recognize that no one can
reward you as much as the almighty
Allah. So we sincerely pay all our
actions and sayings to him seeking the
pleasure of the almighty Allah and the
word to be anticipated only from him.
Loving for his sake and hating for his
sake. The messenger of Allah sallallahu
alaihi wasallam said in the hadith the
highest level of iman is when you love
someone you love him for Allah's sake.
And if you abhore or dislike something
or someone, you only do it for Allah's
sake. What about sincerity towards the
book of Allah, the glorious Quran? How
can I be sincere towards the Quran? By
believing that every word, every letter
of it is simply from the almighty Allah.
It is his word. He said the Quran. He
didn't simply create it. Okay?
Allah described the Quran as the word of
Allah not the creation of Allah and it
makes a huge difference. Okay. So it was
brought down to Muhammad sallallahu
alaihi wasallam through the noble angel
Gabrielisam. The almighty recited the
Quran to Gabriel. Gi recited Quran to
the messenger of Allah. So whenever we
recite Quran the same way that the
messenger of Allah used to recite or
whoever obtains an isaza he's reading
the word of Allah same like the prophet
like Jirel like the same way the
almighty Allah revealed it to Muhammad
sallallahu alaihi wasallam venerating
the Quran and reciting it as it should
be recited. Some people let days and
weeks pass by without reciting any of
the word of Allah. What kind of life is
this? How could you be sincere to the
word of Allah while it is handy and next
to you and you're not really taking
advantage of it? Adhering to his ruling
verse number 29 of the purpose behind
revelation of the Quran to ponder over
its verses to learn to benefit to
practice not just to read it
occasionally.
believing in its ambiguous verses. Is
there any ambiguous verses in the Quran
ambiguous to the layman to the ordinary
people? But those who are deeply rooted
in knowledge, they know exactly the
meaning of every verse and the reason of
the revelation and what is Allah meant
behind revealing this verse and so on.
So learning it and teaching it to
others. The messenger of Allah said in
the seven hadith, the best of all of you
is the one who learns the Quran and
teaches it to others. Protecting the
Quran to our level best
against distortion
and the social particularly of the
innovators and the exaggeration of the
extremists
trying to give a different
interpretation to it. We must stop that.
We must be very careful with whom we
listen to when it comes to the taps and
the interpretation of the Quran. What
about sincerity towards the messenger of
Allah? That mashallah includes the
following. believing that he is the
final messenger of Allah and we say that
and it is equally important to say
without it a person cannot be Muslim
even if he says I believe that there is
only one God. We must believe also in
the final message and the final
messenger Muhammad sallallahu alaihi
wasallam obeying his command and heeding
his prohibitions.
The messenger of Allah
in the Quran Allah commanded us to obey
Allah and to obey the messenger of
Allah. And in he said
Allah says whatever the messenger of
Allah gives you and he commands you to
do it you should do it and whoever he
forbids you against it you should
totally abstain and refrain from it
respecting prophet Muhammad sallallahu
alaihi wasallam and venerating him
loving him more than we love our own
selves because Allah sent him to us to
take us out of darkness into light he's
our savior by the leave of Allah,
defending his sunnah after his death,
standing up to anyone who speaks ill of
him, giving precedence to loving him
over loving anyone else, including
oneself. What does it mean? If somebody
likes to do something and the prophet
sallallahu alaihi wasallam forbade it,
he should refrain from it. Some people
like to lie down on their stomach and
sall alaihi wasallam forbade that and he
said this is how Satan sleeps. So I
avoid it even though I like it. By the
way it is not healthy but simply I avoid
it because the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wasallam abhor it believing that he is a
leader of mankind and the final
messenger and he will be the first
intercessor on the day of judgment by
the leave of Allah. not exaggerating
about him. The messenger of Allah
said,
"Whenever you speak about me, you should
perceive me as the servant of Allah and
his messenger." not similar to what the
Christians did when they exaggerate
pertaining to uh perceiving Jesus and
they raised him to the status of
divinehood or they perceive him as a son
of God. That is not permissible. As
believers, we invoke Allah. We don't
invoke anyone including the messenger of
Allah whom we love more than uh our own
selves. well and sincerity towards the
leaders of the Muslim uh um and this is
one before the last that includes
listening to them in what is permissible
obeying them in what we can afford and
as long as it is halal cooperating with
them in in following the truth and
reminding them of it not revolting
against them and alerting them and
giving them da whenever it is necessary,
kindly and gently through the scholars
of course softening the Muslims hearts
towards obeying them as long as they are
good and righteous uh rulers and leaders
and leading people on the straight path
not deviating them making dua for them
praying for them. The messenger of Allah
sallallahu alaihi wasallam said in the
hadith the best of your rulers are those
whom you love and they love you. You
pray for them and they pray for you. And
finally, sincerity towards the um common
f
by
making dua for all Muslims, loving all
Muslims, loving for Muslims the same as
I love for myself, showing sincerity
towards all Muslims, men and women, poor
and rich, young and old. Uh part of
sincerity towards Muslims include loving
good for them, loving for them what you
love for yourself. as it's stated in the
hadith,
showing kindness towards them. Uh making
sure that you would benefit them
regardless whether they give you thanks
or not because you're doing this for
Allah's sake. refraining from harming
them and giving thaw to them in joining
what is good and forbidden what is bad
gently as Almighty Allah has commanded.
May the Almighty Allah make us among
those who follow his guidance and the
guidance of his messenger.
