Alhamdulillah.
Welcome to this first class in the
fourth level of studying the se of the
prophetatam
where we will be hopefully inshallah
studying
few things about the prophet
himselfatam.
what he loved, what he hated, how he was
happy, when he was sad, how he cried and
weeped, how he was angry and among these
other things that are so personal
for two reasons. The first one is our
prophetatam
was sent to us by Allah as a role model
so that we would follow his footsteps in
everything he does.
Secondly, because there is a vicious
evil campaign round the clock against
himatam.
If you want to discredit Islam, you have
to discredit the prophet. Which is
something you can't. So they are
relentlessly trying to do so. So part of
defending the prophetatam is that we
know we must know how
to defend him, how to protect his
reputation. Allah says in the Quran,
indeed we are sufficient for you against
the mockers. So allahel
is sufficient and he will protect his
reputation
and this is what we can clearly see when
they try to mock the prophet sallallahu
alaihi wasallam or depict him he simply
shines more and is prominent and on the
top all the time which goes against
their attempts evil attempts.
So let us focus first on the way the
prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam used
to speak.
The prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam
was given the
eloquency
that when he speaks it is sweeter than
honey.
To the ears it is so beautiful that you
wish he would never stop. And
the prophet himself wasam was not a
person who spoke like us for hours and
you would come out and say, "Oh,
beautiful speech." But um what did he
say? I don't know. He spoke so little
with so profound meaning behind what he
spoke to the extent that people used to
warn others whenever they come to Mecca
don't listen to this man he's a poet
he's a sorcerer he's a magician he could
manipulate you with his words one of
these men was
may Allah be pleased with him he says
about himself. I was a poet. I was a
noble person. I was the head of my
people. When he came to Mecca for Hajj,
the people of Mecca warned him and said
to him, "Be careful. This guy is
worse than a sorcerer. He separates
between a man and his wife, a man and is
his son. He simply
puts enmity in people's hearts. Watch
out. So I was so convinced I filled my
ears with cotton.
When when I meant went to the haram to
the Caba to pray, he was standing there
minding his own business sallallahu
alaihi wasallam and he was praying.
So
I stayed away but subhan Allah Allahawel
wanted that I hear despite the cotton I
filled my ears with and when I heard and
contemplated
upon what he was saying and he was
reciting the Quran
I said darn this is pretty well this is
pretty good and I'm an intellectual
sexual intelligent person. I'm a poet. I
know what's good and what's bad. Why am
I preventing myself from listening to
this man? So he went to the prophetatam
and he told him about the warnings the
people of Quraysh
gave him and what he had done and now he
would like to listen. So the prophet
sallallahu alaihi wasallam gave him his
presentation and the man says, "I've
never heard anything more beautiful,
more eloquent,
nothing that is more fair and just than
the Quran." So I took my shahada. I
reverted to Islam.
And this shows you that no matter what
the people do,
inevitably when Allah wants to guide
someone, he'll be guided.
Even if he himself does not want to or
knows or feels that he does not want to,
despite this fact, Allahel would say
would still
guide that individual. Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala says and the disbelievers
planned but Allahel
also planned and Allah is the best of
all planners. So this is the fact no
matter what the enemies of Islam do
inevitably Allahel
would always prevail.
When the prophet spoke Alisatam
sometimes
I get calls on ask zad and the people
that talk they speak like 100 miles per
hour so fast I am unable to understand
and sometimes we get people that speak
so eloquently and beautifully that every
single word is understood. tood with the
grace of allahel.
Our prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam
was the type of person who used to speak
in a moderate paste. This paste
was not random. Rather he used to know
how to speak and when to pause. Mother
says, "If we were if we were to wish to
count the number of words he spoke,
we could have done so." And he used to
do so so that people would memorize what
he had said. And he wouldn't speak so
quickly and dump lots of information
beyond a person's comprehension, but he
would speak it slowly. So that if a
person wanted to repeat it, he would do
so easily
and he said about himself wasam I was
sent with the concise of speech.
This means that in one or two words or
sentences people could compile books out
of that. And the prophet sallallahu
alaihi wasallam
demonstrated this by the most famous
hadith.
Deeds are
judged by intentions.
Very simple but you can write literally
volumes on such a statement. And the
prophetat wasam used to
pick the appropriate
words and ways to introduce a topic.
Sometimes a speaker could talk and in
the middle of his talk you would say
what is it about?
Because he failed in drawing your
attention from the very beginning. The
prophetat wasam used to know how to do a
proper introduction.
For example, when he wanted to give da
to his people, he gathered them all on
the saf and he went on the suffer
actually and he shouted
which means this is a call of alarm.
There's danger coming.
And people when they heard this sort of
siren,
they immediately went out of their homes
and came to gather and hear what the
problem is. And then he told them that
if I were to tell you that there is an
army coming at that
mountain and it's going to attack you,
would you have would you have believed
me? said, "Of course, we've never tested
you to be a liar." So the prophet said,
"Well, I am
um
warning you of something far more severe
that is a punishment from Allah.
[Music]
Likewise, the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wasallam used to give
certain words that have a double meaning
so that it would draw the attention of
the people. Once he asked who do you
consider al
among you is a childless childish
person.
So they said alub is a a person who
doesn't have a child. He said no the is
a person who
did not lose any of his children so that
on the day of judgment he would not find
any of them preceding him and coming in
front of him. And this is a form of
giving people
sort of uh uh to console them if they've
lost a child or two and how devastated
they are. The prophet says no you are
not that person because you have them
preceding you and waiting for you in
paradise. So that would be much uh
better for them. Also he would ask the
people who do you consider among you as
a strong man and they would say he's the
man who could wrestle anyone and put
them down to the ground and he said no a
strong man is a person who controls
himself at times of anger through this
way he would bring the attention of
people so whatever he says sticks in
their heads. Sometimes he would repeat
the same word three times. And this
repetition is not all the time because
then it would become a little bit boring
for some. But sometimes it is to
reiterate
a an issue so that they would know that
this is a a huge importance. So when he
gives salam before coming into a house
it's a form like ringing the bellsum
assalam alaykum assalamu alaykum if
nobody replies you leave and likewise if
he says something he would repeat it as
when he was talking about false
testimony
and he was inclining and then he sat
straight and he repeated it so many
times sometimes three sometimes More
also the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wasallam
used to use
humism
and this is a way of
reducing
the harshness or the rudeness of the
word. So for example when he referred to
issues of intimacy
he there are many hadiths and you will
find them in your textbooks that he used
the word sweetness when a woman wanted
to divorce her second husband
and this is a trick so that she could go
to her first husband who divorced her
three times. So she married a second man
and then she came to the prophetam and
she says I want to divorce him. I don't
like him. I don't love him. He's this.
He's that. So the prophet sallallahu
alaihi wasallam figured it out. And he
said no, you can't go back to the first
husband, your ex, until you taste his
sweetness, the second husband, and he
tastes yours. And this is a metaphor for
being intimate and having sexual
intercourse. Also the word
which means to have sexual uh
intercourse when the prophet wanted a
man who did not have intercourse the
previous night so that he would take the
deceased and place uh the deceased in
the grave.
Also the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wasallam used to use the word al
which roughly translates into going in
onto
to prevent the spouses from being
intimate then spreading the word and
talking uh to others about it. This is
totally prohibited and a major sin. And
finally he used to refer to it as the
bed
as in the hadith when a man calls his
wife to bed. So he could have said more
uh um clearer words but this is his
beauty and eloquency that he avoids
using such words that may make people
think uh of otherwise and Allahawel
knows best.
Muhammad.
